I’m a Villainess, But I’m Happy Because I’m Healthy - Chapter 11

Giiik-!

A scream resounded in the atmosphere.

The dark mana, which is more heterogeneous and heavier than any other magic, has twisted the surrounding mana.

How many minutes have passed? The mana core awakening ended for a short time of fewer than 30 minutes and disappeared leaving only a slight fever.

And in that distorted mana, a monster was born and looked down at Juven.

‘Mo, monster!’

I’ve never seen a monster before.

I saw it several times in pictures, but I wasn’t scared at all I just thought that it looked disgusting.

However, now that it’s in front of him. His senses went numb and he couldn’t move.

‘I, I have to run!’

His mind was in a hurry, but his body didn’t follow. Like a frog standing in front of a snake, his body and mind froze.

At that time, when he was still engulfed in fear, another heterogeneous characteristics from the dark mana was revealed.

‘Because I’m weak. This is all because I’m weak.’

Characteristic that amplifies the feelings of the owner.

Even emotions as small as a speck of dust were used just to amplify him closer to madness.

However, this property was only exhibited for a short time after experiencing the awakening, so it was a very special phenomenon that not only academia but also the Juven himself could not know.

‘If I had been strong, I would have killed a guy like this in a heartbeat!’

A flood of emotion swirled around Juven. And it exploded that feeling in ridiculous directions.

‘The world is all about being strong. The weak ones can’t help it if they die. No, they have to die. Only the strong can survive.’

All the sadness he’s felt so far has changed into an obsession with strength.

‘The same is true for my mother’s death. It is also the providence of nature. The strong will live; the weak will die.’

There was madness that clouded the eyes of Juven.

‘Is the mind getting stronger? That kind of thing naturally follows when the body becomes stronger.’

If I had been strong, I wouldn’t have been scared by monsters.

There would have been no fear, and I would have gotten through this crisis.

The strength of the body is also the strength of the mind.

As I tried to conclude, I suddenly felt warmth on my hands.

What could it be? Juven who has finally returned to reality saw Aslan.

“It’s dangerous!”

The attack of the monster was seen behind her.

Since the senses of Juven, who has just finished his awakening, has become very sensitive, the time has passed slowly as he focused his mind.

‘What? Are you trying to protect me? But you’re weak.’

But how did you manage to move? Aren’t you afraid of the monster?

Juven’s sensitized five senses made him feel both Aslan’s heart and tremors that were delivered through their contact.

‘Afraid…… You’re afraid…… But you still moved? To protect me?’

‘How is that even possible? Isn’t it normal for the weak to not be able to do anything?’

When I saw the monster, I couldn’t move at all because of fear.

The blue rose came into the sight of Juven.

It was the rose that he brought to dedicate to his mother’s grave.

‘…… she’s not weak’

Aslan threw herself to Juven to protect him.

On top of it, the image of my mother overlapped with her.

The mother who still gave birth to him, in a situation where she could possibly die because of her weakness.

‘Is that what it means to be weak but strong-hearted?’

Not for yourself but.

The courage to even throw away your own life for one’s precious person.

Isn’t that one aspect of the strength of the mind?

As doubts about the strength of the mind were resolved, another mad obsession was also opened.

With one hand wrapped around Aslan, who is hugging him, Juven reached out his other hand toward the monster.

[Get lost.]

Even though he doesn’t know how to deal with magic yet, black magic still soared from Juven’s hand.

This was also an attribute of dark magic.

“Grrreu-?”

Black magic enveloped the monster and swallowed it, then it disappeared into the ground.

The monster disappeared from the world, not even a scream could be heard.

“……”

The monster disappeared and only the two of them were left.

Juven peeked at Aslan, but there was no movement.

“She fainted.”

It was because she used too much of her stamina, and was also exhausted because of the fear she felt.

Juven carefully laid Aslan on the floor. Her face was covered in sweat due to how hard she ran.

“……thank you.”

When he came back to his senses, he remembered what he had just thought.

He insulted his mother for being weak. He was caught up in madness saying that strength was everything.

However, thanks to Aslan, he was able to escape all that madness.

“Thanks to you, I’ve learned a little bit about what strength is.”

Juven, who took out a handkerchief, wiped Aslan’s sweat.

If it had been in the past he wouldn’t have touched her, but it’s different now.

Juven’s eyes looking at Aslan were soft.

“If It weren’t because of you, I would have become mad.”

That wasn’t wrong.

Aslan did not know this, but the reason why Juven was like that in the game, was because of what just happened.

A mad obsession for power.

Aslan’s sacrifice intervened in that mad obsession, and the image of his mother overlapped with her.

He was able to escape from the madness, and also gained a clue about his mental strength.

“Now I have no choice but to admit it. You’re much stronger than I am. I couldn’t do anything in front of the monster.”

Completely different from the game.

It was the moment when another future began.

“Thank you very much.”

Interestingly, the madness caused by dark mana did not completely disappear.

Very little, but the remnant of it led the boy in another direction.

A little madness stood in Juven’s eyes looking at Aslan and disappeared.

This madness was not cold and violent, rather this madness was warm and gentle.

“You should go home for now, okay?”

Dark magic swirled around the two.

It was a warm black light, completely different from the one that enveloped the monster.

The figure of the two was wrapped around it and melted into the shadows, the next moment they were in Juven’s room.

It was the same power as Juven’s ability in the game, which was called the reaper of darkness

“Good night, then.”

A word that had never come out of Juven’s small mouth, who was quietly exiting the room, popped out.

“Sister.”

4. Let’s Learn Magic

“Then I’ll be on my way.”

“Come back next time. You’re always welcome.”

Leon and Marquis Appleton greeted each other. Aslan and Juven also exchanged greetings among themselves, they greeted properly according to their rank because there were eyes were looking at them.

“Bye, then.”

“Yes, sister. Goodbye.”

“Whoa, now you’re calling me sister.”

Juven seemed different from before. The appearance or outfit has not changed, but it was the atmosphere that changed so much.

‘It’s nice to see you smile.’

There was a smile on Juven’s face, who always had an expression of indifference or anger.

The smile was not too much, and not too little.

Aslan felt good because he looked like a baby angel with the right amount of smile.

“But Juven, are you sure I saw it wrong?”

“Yes, there’s no way a monster could be in a place like that.”

When Aslan woke up, she was sleeping in Juven’s room.

Obviously, when I saw Juven being threatened by a monster in front of the tomb, I protected him with all my might, but Juven said that he saw nothing.

“Really?”

“Yeah. You suddenly came running, wrapped yourself around me then passed out.”

It is certainly true that I ran. Even now, my calves and thighs were throbbing, that it seemed like a heart was formed in that area.

But there was no monster?

‘Should I believe this?’

Did you awaken your magic power at that moment and killed the monster?

Or maybe before that happened, he had already awakened his mana.

However, with both possibilities, it was still impossible to beat the monster.

‘The mana should still be useless.’

Even if your mana awakens, you should learn ‘magic’, and methods of dealing with it.

Of course, it was the misunderstanding of Aslan who didn’t know the special nature of dark mana, but in the end, she was forced to believe Juven’s lies.

“So did you call the servants to carry me when I fainted?”

“Yes.”

As Juven pointed to the butler next to him, the middle-aged butler nodded.

“I did carry the miss.”

It was a pre-arranged conversation, but Aslan had no choice but to believe it.

“Goodbye, then. I’ll come over next time.”

Why should it matter what the truth is?

I have a cute little brother who calls me sister!

At the end of the day, Aslan, who fell for the angelic smile and voice, hugged Juven.

“Oh, cute thing!”

The two fathers who were watching from the side laughed helplessly.

In the eyes of others, it seemed that the two children had become extremely close.

“Hey, I have a question.”

“What is it?”

“What kind of man is sister’s ideal type?”

An unexpected question!

It was a question that was too precocious for a young boy to throw.

Why are you asking this question all of a sudden?

Before she could think of why, Aslan recalled her taste.

‘Hmmm. Taste……’

Aslan’s taste was simple.

The years I had lived as Aslan was too short to develop a preference, but I had one in my previous life.

‘That’s my cup of tea.’

She was always lying in bed because she was not feeling well, and she was always envious of a healthy body.

So, she frequently searched for “healthy bodies” and most of the results were photos of muscular men.

‘I guess that’s it?’

Thick as a log and hard as a rock.

When they pull up the shirt, the bumpy tendon extends to the back of the hand.

Copper-colored abs that would probably make my hand hurt more if I hit it with my fist, and the clavicle that stands out whenever the head is turned to the side.

The wide shoulders, the back muscles that are split like the two mountain ranges, and the club-like thighs.

Aslan’s taste was, so to speak, a man of a muscular physique.

‘How could I say that?’

It was embarrassing to say in the presence of not only Juven but also adults.

“I like good men. A man with a good smile, and has good manners.”

“Then, I will definitely be like that!”

Juven is already throwing a straightforward comment.

Of course, to Aslan, it seemed that her cute little brother was just foolish.

Aslan stroked Juven’s head and smiled.

“Yes, be sure to do that.”

If that happens, you really won’t become the Dark Reaper and destroy the school ecosystem.

So the Leburnsuit family left the mansion.
