123 – Tracking the Villain
We need to investigate the man further.
As we talked and spent time together, I felt the need to do so.
Yes, it is not good to make hasty judgments.
This moment when we all went on a trip together was a great opportunity.
Continue to observe him and find out what this man’s purpose is.
I needed to know whether he was a man who wanted to take over the heroines and manipulate them according to his desires, or whether he was claiming to be a hero of justice as he said.
After finishing the night’s event prepared by Aki, we returned to the mansion and went to our respective rooms.
In the rooms on either side are Haruna Kato and Eri Takase.
After saying hello to them, I open the door and enter the room.
It was a shame that we couldn’t all get together and sleep in one room, have pillow fights, or play cards, but I’m satisfied with this level of event today.
There were unexpected elements of being in the same group as that man, but it was actually a good thing.
When he pulled out the same chopsticks, the gazes they gave him were the same.
His strange consideration that I felt while walking through the forest together.
After such experiences, I felt the need for more detailed investigation.
That was a mission that came to me as I was scared and hiding, unable to spend my days with them, and feeling more and more guilty every day.
If he is a villain with great evil intentions towards them, I will stop him.
I protect it.
“……… Okay, it’s okay. You can do it.”
Late at night, when everyone was asleep, I carefully opened the door.
It was the floor right below.
As I was about to walk, the door to the room next door slid open.
I was startled and hid under a decorative flower placed next to the hallway.
When someone raised their head… She was Haruna Kato.
Haru unnie.
Why are you out alone at this hour?
The room was equipped with everything we needed so there was no need to come out. From the bathroom to the shower room to the balcony where you can get some fresh air.
One day, my sister left the room and looked around her as if she didn’t want to be caught.

Where on earth are you going?
I hid myself deeply and followed behind her, muffled by my footsteps.
The purpose changed, but I couldn’t help but be curious.
She went down the stairs and walked down the hallway just below.
Then she stood in front of the door, raised her hand and knocked.
That room… That man’s?
The door opens and he comes out.
Are you really trying to secretly call her out at this hour and bring her into her room?
Doing things in her room that she doesn’t like….
I felt like I had already caught her tail.
I was watching that place with all kinds of unpleasant delusions and suspicions.
“Oh, you’re coming this way…” .”
My expectations were wrong, and they came out into the hallway and started walking toward the stairs.
I was watching from under the railing and quickly changed my position.
They went down to the first floor and left the mansion.
Where on earth are you going at this hour?
When you leave the mansion, there is a yard right in front, and there is a walking path.
While walking there, I stopped and looked at them.
“…… What’s the matter? “Haruna.”
“Ah…… Huh.”
I hear a voice.
Haru unni called you?
“That…… That is… ….”
What on earth is this?
I can’t believe you’re calling a man this late at night.
If you think about it normally, it’s just like that….
No way, Haru unni… ?
“Ah…… Uh… ….”
She could hardly speak and only looked down at her flower bed with her head down.
“…… Ugh… ….”
I’m in trouble.
I have a request that is difficult to convey.
Maybe we should break up?
Do you want us to stop making threats based on our weaknesses?
What weaknesses does he have and what is he threatening with?
There was nothing in particular, but I stared at the scene, making wild guesses.
“…… “Haruna.”
“Uh, huh?”
“It’s okay. “There’s no need to rush.”
“……… ….”
He also looked down at the flower bed and spoke calmly.
“Because the night is long. “I just wanted to take a walk and get some fresh air.”
“……… ….”
“Let’s go for a walk. “Haruna, whenever you want to talk, you can do so.”
“……… Huh….”
That man is acting like some kind of gentleman.
When I appealed to her for her kindness, Haru blushed and smiled.
She quietly looked at that expression.
No matter how much I think about that reaction…….
“Whoa…” … “It’s cool and nice.”
They took a step.
I followed them, making no sound of footsteps.
They left the walking path and walked along the coast along the sea.
What is Haru’s intention in calling him out at this time?
I wanted to know at least a little bit about what happened between them, but there was no conversation between them the entire time they were walking.
Haru unni is one step behind him.
She is walking in silence, looking at his back.
With eyes that seem to desperately want something.
He is walking slowly, getting some air.
“……… Huh?”
He stopped walking.
I almost raised my voice at that moment.
“…… “Haruna?”
She approached her side first.
She held his hand and buried her face in his back.
“What’s wrong?”
Even if she asked that question, Haruna remained silent.
“…… “I get anxious sometimes.”
After being silent for a while, she soon opened her mouth.
“What?”
“Before, I said I was happy in my current relationship. I said thank you, but… “Sometimes I feel restless.”
Their voices were sometimes drowned out by the sound of the sea breeze, so much so that I couldn’t hear them unless I concentrated very hard.
But isn’t my current behavior typical of stalking?
An unpleasant stalker who spies on the romantic activities of couples in the prime of their lives.
But…… Oh, not yet… ….
I do not fully understand their relationship.
Not yet able to shake off a glimmer of doubt, I focused on the conversation I was hearing.
“I’m afraid you’ll move away from me… I’m afraid he’ll go to another woman… “Sometimes I get so anxious.”
My heart was racing.
That Kato Haruna… She spoke like a girl who was completely in love.
So…… Now she is completely infatuated with him.
Even a fool could tell.
“Other girls did that. “It’s ridiculous that we’ve been together this long and haven’t even been able to kiss.”
Key, key… kiss!?
The Haruna Kato I know was the most irrelevant character in terms of skinship.
That’s why his relationship with Yuuki didn’t continue smoothly, and he became distant from that.
She is that innocent, innocent, white and pure character…
I was never the type of character that would fidget and ask for skinship from a man first.
“Minsu…… “You don’t want to kiss me?”
I wasn’t the type of woman to say things like this.
Now I am pleading earnestly with a face stained red.
What the hell is this….
“Haruna.”
Then he turned her body and looked at her.
He reached out his hand and lifted her chin.
Ah, ah… !
My heart was racing.
Kato Haruna did not shake off her hand that was placed on her chin, and she remained frozen in that position.
He sticks his head out to her like that.
Our lips touch.
On her forehead.
“……… Ah.”
One day I looked at her, lifting both her hands and touching her forehead.
“Of course I want to do it.”
“……… Well, then….”
“But I can’t deal with Haruna, who is so trembling and scared.”
“……… ….”
Ah….
Only then did I notice.
Her hands were shaking.
It wasn’t clear from a distance, but she was so stiff that she couldn’t move at all.
“…… Actually, it’s scary to go beyond that, right?”
“……… ….”
“I know everything. “The thing about Haruna.”
Yes, she is an innocent girl.
The sad appearance of being friendly with everyone is a form of self-defense.
Maintains a close yet distant relationship and pretends to be gentle.
To protect myself.
She was building such a high mental barrier.
“You don’t need to listen to what other people say.”
“Ah…… Hey, Minsu….”
“I will continue to be here. “As long as Haruna is ready, it’s always good.”
When she stretched out her arms and was hugged by him, I turned her body around.
I had already peeked a lot, but my conscience did not allow me to secretly watch any more.
What, they are a completely idiotic couple.
What happened?
Anyone here would have kissed her, even if it were a normal man without her dark feelings.
However, he was truly considerate of her and stepped aside.
That was something that could not be done unless someone truly knew Haruna.
He knows Haruna.
And I truly care for you.
“…… “What, really?”
He returns to the mansion alone, kicking the bare floor.
Clearly my intention was to protect Haru.
Why do I feel strange emotions now when I see such an idiot couple?
Why did you ever think of envy?
I have never been truly loved or touched by another person.
As I watched them, I felt a heavy, suffocating feeling.
I returned to the mansion with a conscience that I should not watch them any longer, and at the same time to escape that frustrating feeling.
I ran into someone in front of the entrance.
“Wow… !”
I was so shocked that I almost fell.
“…… Well, you… !”
The person standing in front of the entrance was Elena.
Akira Shiraishi’s exclusive maid.
At first I thought there were characters like this.
She just quietly followed us around and didn’t go anywhere, so she wasn’t paying attention right now.
“Why, why… Here… ?”
“I’d like to ask you that.”
Elena took a step forward and stood in front of me.
“For some reason they were following the boy.”
“…… Oh, you’re following me… !”
I should have done that.
How does this maid know that?
From noble mtl dot com
“I wondered if there was some nefarious intention behind it, but it came back without incident.”
“……… ….”
This woman was watching me.
No way…… Isn’t this just a supporting character?
“Da, you…” … “What is it?”
She said those words calmly.
“I am an ordinary maid.”
“……… Well, then why….”
“It’s just because I have a duty to protect him.”
“……… ….”
What…? .
What does protecting mean, and why is the Shiraishi family maid protecting that man?
I couldn’t figure it out at all.
With yet another growing suspicion, I was sent to a room under Elena’s supervision.
