The Villainess That Was Once A VRMMO player - CH 43.2

I knew I couldn’t let him escape, so I used 6th class area magic [Thunder Rain], but this would normally kill a human being unless his magic defense was high, right?

If he died within five minutes, he could be revived, but searching for him in such a dense forest would be too difficult.

I wanted to know their background, but there was no point in dwelling on what had already been done. –I suppose Camille-sama and the others might ask me why I didn’t catch him?

I had no choice. I returned to Chibi Carol, and then left.

When I returned from the forest, Nicholas, who seemed to be looking for me, found me.

“Oh, miss, I’m so glad you’re all right. I was worried when you suddenly disappeared.

“The Minotaurs?”

“We managed to defeat him along with our enemies. Oh, by the way, that adventurer Witch, Camille-sama, told me that the young lady hired her as a kindred spirit.”

I see. So, that’s how Camille-sama, the only one who saw my transformation, explained it. Then I should go along with that.

“It was too troublesome, so she left.”

“…Is, is that so?”

Then I returned to the carriage, and while I was applying High Heal to the knights who had been beaten by Mino-tan, the escorting knights awkwardly bowed to me.

Oh, by the way, [Witch] was supposed to be the escort I hired. I won’t retaliate against them for being rude to me, it’s not even a concern compared to Alice.

That being said, …I noticed that Camille-sama was snuggled up to my side since I returned.

“…Camille-sama?”

“Can you please call me Cam?”

Cam, aka Camille-sama, knelt so that we were eye-to-eye, and as he took my hand in his and said in a sweet voice, Nicholas, who was drinking from his canteen, spewed out the water.

Eh, what was with this sudden change…

“You don’t like it?”

“…N…o…”

Close, close. The moment I agreed, a face with a big smile on it appeared 10 centimeters in front of me.

Oh my, this guy had a terrible sense of distance. I ended up spending the entire trip being treated like a princess.

The servants were all left with their mouths hanging open because of the sudden and unexpected doting attitude of this man. I could only walk around the inn without being pulled by the hand.

Why did this happen all of a sudden? Compared to the other nobles in this country, he was much more decent, but… well, he just made me feel tired.
