Please Bully Me, Miss Villainess!

…Can’t sleep.

Since coming here, her nerves had been constantly tense, unable to calm down.

Apart from the shocking fact of unexpectedly learning that the Sister was a demon, there were many other things that concerned Yvonne greatly.

Although she had spent almost the entire day with Elsa, she hadn’t received any bullying tasks, which made her feel very suspicious.

While there were occasionally times like this—the system showing mercy, forgetting to issue villainous tasks—it might not be simply a coincidence.

It was very likely that because the protagonist Elsa had triggered a new capture route like in the game, the system had let Yvonne off.

According to the game’s plot, the protagonist returning to the monastery at this time was the opportunity to enter the Demon King’s capture route,

On the day she met her brother Garth, the villainous system hadn’t issued any tasks to her either.

The reason why the villain, as a love rival, had to bully the protagonist was ultimately due to jealousy over the protagonist stealing the ‘love’ that should have belonged to her—

But—if the protagonist chose a route other than the male lead, then this ‘bullying’ would become unnecessary.

Although the logic behind the system’s task issuance was still just a conjecture, based on Yvonne’s own statistics, with more and more evidence supporting it, this hypothesis had become quite probable.

The movements of the demon race were closely related to the crime of treason. If clues could be found from this route, it might be possible to clear the suspicion on her father.

Unlike herself who still had choices, Duke Smollett had only a [Death] ending in all routes.

It couldn’t be helped, as a villain, the Duke father was just such a character designed to attract hatred. No player would feel sorry for the death of a fat Duke who looked like a treacherous minister. In all endings of all prince routes, the Duke would be sacrificed to satisfy the players’ desire for revenge. And since the prince was an important main character, this was almost unavoidable in every route,

Although the suspicion of ‘treason’ hadn’t been confirmed now, it was still a huge death flag for her father, which needed to be removed by her own hands.

In the plot, the villainous young lady, out of jealousy for the protagonist, craved power and was eventually controlled by the demon race, falling into darkness,

So, if she made contact with the demon race, she might return to some dangerous route of destruction.

This was also a very risky option for Yvonne.

If this world really had some force that would pull the deviated story back on track,

Then she might be doing something very dangerous.

But… it was worth trying.

She didn’t want to be led by the system anymore.

To protect her family in this world, this time, she would take the initiative.

Because main storyline events could trigger at any time now, Yvonne planned to stay by Elsa’s side to observe for a while.

So when Elsa asked if they could sleep in the same bed, she agreed.

…

No good, absolutely can’t sleep!!

At such a close distance, waves of fragrance wafted from her body, intensifying the reality that she was now lying right beside her,

—Let’s sleep together tonight too?

When proposing this, Elsa originally thought Yvonne would flatly refuse, so she just wanted to tease her and see her tsundere blushing face before sleep,

—Alright.

But unexpectedly, this time she nodded and agreed without any hesitation.

…I-is this some kind of hint?

Is she hinting for me to take the initiative?

Is it okay? Is it really okay?

Uwah~~ I’m so excited!! Really so excited!!!

With some not-so-wholesome thoughts in her head, naturally it was impossible to sleep properly.

But unfortunately, the other party seemed to have entered dreamland ahead of her.

Then she inadvertently became mesmerized by her beautiful sleeping face.

She didn’t have the thick skin to steal a kiss from someone already asleep.

That kind of thing should be done when both are awake, mm-hmm.

Moreover—tomorrow she can give her the ‘surprise’ she’s prepared~~

Thinking of the perfect plan she had already decided on, Elsa’s heart began to boil with excitement.

No, no, can’t get so excited anymore,

Better sleep early,

However, just as Elsa was about to close her eyes, she noticed something unusual about the person beside her.

“Yvonne…?”

The originally steady breathing gradually became rapid and painful.

In the dream, her father was dragged to the gallows just like in the game,

No matter how she cried and shouted, she couldn’t stop the execution,

Father… Dad!

No… No!!

“—!!”

Awakening from the nightmare, she realized her back was already soaked with cold sweat.

Thank goodness…

It was just a dream, not real.

Really… thank goodness.

But, merely experiencing this once was enough. Tears had already streamed down her face.

“—It’s alright now.”

A hand gently patted her back, tender arms had already encircled her.

“…Let go of me.”

Trying hard to speak clearly, but her voice came out very hoarse.

Elsa shook her head lightly, instead hugging her tighter.

“I won’t let go.”

A very serious, determined tone.

Through tear-blurred vision, she saw Elsa looking at her with concern,

Her forehead was completely soaked with cold sweat, strands of hair stuck to her forehead, wet and uncomfortable,

Her trembling throat could no longer produce sound.

Although she knew it was just a nightmare, Yvonne now felt a strong fear and unease.

Everything in the dream was so real.

She was too afraid of losing.

If all her hard-won family in this world were to leave her, she wouldn’t know what to do at all.

This weak appearance… must look quite pathetic, right?

Both shame and her pride as a noble wouldn’t allow it,

She didn’t want Elsa to see such an embarrassing side of herself.

“—It’s alright.”

But she said this to her.

Whether weak or strong, it doesn’t matter—

However, hearing such gentle whispers, Yvonne’s defenses were being broken down bit by bit by her tenderness.

“When you feel scared or anxious, you can rely on me more—”

The desire to become someone her beloved could rely on, this feeling was also real.

—She was hugged back.

Faced with this unexpected action, Elsa blinked in surprise several times,

“This… is what you said.”

By the faint light shining through the window, she could see a pair of teary eyes in her arms, blinking and looking at her.

“Then… let me hug you a bit longer.”

Muttering softly, she climbed on like a little cat, and finally, as if finding a small nest where she could sleep peacefully, the golden kitten curled up on her chest.

Elsa couldn’t help but hold her breath,

Feeling that even the slightest exhale now would wake her.

Surrounded by a sense of security, she felt much more at ease.

At least now, she was no longer alone.

Tonight, the young ladies slept in each other’s embrace.
