Rehabilitating the Villainess - Chapter 85: A Loan Shark (1)

Shael looked at me with a provoking gaze.

She said that she didn’t want to ki*ss me, however it was far from the truth.

I, of course, didn’t do as Shael wished. I only jokingly replied, “Is that so? Then why did you ask for the ki*sses first?”

“…”

Shael bit her lips, and glared at me as if telling me to forget about that right away.

I nodded in agreement.

First of all, I needed to know why Shael was doing this.

“Okay. So what do you want to say?”

“Hmm…it’s that I didn’t want to ki*ss you.”

‘So, what?’

Shael made a sad expression, then, she made a remark that made me look like a bad guy.

“I think you forced me.”

“…”

Now who was it that wrapped her arms around the back of my head so we wouldn’t be able to part our lips?

It was Shael!

It was also Shael that approached me first, and after that, she asked her for a ki*ss.

In fact, she had seduced me!

So, there’s no way she really didn’t want to ki*ss me.

Even now, as she complained about the supposed injustice, she could hide the smile on her face.

Anyways, I suddenly became curious as to why Shael was doing this. While I was lost in my thoughts, I heard Shael’s voice.

“So, take responsibility.”

‘Responsibility?’

As if to answer my question, Shael spoke up again.

“Please pay me back for the 10 ki*sses you forced on me.”

I almost laughed out loud, as I looked at Shael in admiration for her supposed ‘genius’ plan.

And by the way, ten ki*sses? I definitely didn’t do it 10 times. I probably did it five times at most.

Shael knew that too. So it was clear that she was lying. It was a scam!

Of course, I would gladly welcome such a scam. It was a scam that was very easy to deal with. But I couldn’t do that right now, as I was worried about Shael’s blushing face.

“How about after taking a break?”

“…no.”

“Please wait a little while, I will pay back double with interest.”

Then, Shael nodded as if she understood.

* * *

After taking a little break, I tried to ki*ss Shael.

However, unexpectedly, Shael, who had been clearing her throat for a while, grabbed my hand and led me somewhere else.

“Don’t you want a ki*ss?”

Shael didn’t answer that question. She just smiled and shook her head in silence.

Anyway, it was impossible to tell what she was thinking. It could be perceived from all sorts of things she did for a ki*ss just a little while ago.

So Shael and I skipped the events of the Blessing Meeting and wandered around the cathedral. From the garden of the cathedral to the park of the cathedral where all kinds of statues were up for display.

Shael stopped in front of the huge stone statue of a woman, “What is that?”

“A statue of a goddess that symbolized love.”

Descriptions were written under the name of the goddess, and Shael, who was reading it, raised her head to look at me with an eager expression on her face.

“What is it?”

“I want to hear the old confession…again.”

It left me speechless. Just imagining it reminded me of the embarrassing memories of that time. I didn’t immediately comply to what Shael said, and asked,  “Why do you want to hear that all of a sudden?”

“We did it while tied with a rope.”

‘Yes. That’s right!  But who was the person who tied me up?’

Anyways, it was also an insufficient reason to say that she suddenly wanted to hear a confession.

Perhaps knowing that, Shael, who had not been able to raise her head in shame, opened her mouth.

“If I want you to do it, do it.”

Now it was an order, and the option of refusal didn’t exist. Therefore, I had no choice but to follow Shael’s orders.

Shael started waiting for me to speak. I confirmed that fact, and tried hard to move my lips.

It was only three words.

Words that had already been said before. But I still found it very difficult to say them. It was to the extent that it was difficult for me to even open my mouth.

I just had to say I love you.

But before I could do it, I heard a voice that was not mine.

“I love you.”

That voice belonged to Shael.

Shael, who had a shy expression on her face, spoke with more difficulty than I did.

“Me too.”

I couldn’t lose, so I also conveyed my feelings.

After those words, the atmosphere became awkward. In order to find something to say, I turned my head towards the sign that had all the information about the statue of the goddess.
