Fated to Be Loved by Villains

Chapter 242: Midnight Secret Rendezvous (4)

This was one of the things she once learned in the past; If she found herself in a situation where she could get extremely angry, that meant it was the situation where she had to stay cool-headed the most.

Even though the person who taught her that was smiling foolishly next to the person who angered her so much, she didn’t care.

“...”

Gripping the two daggers tightly in her hands, she took a deep breath.

Then, she erased her emotions and raised the sensitivity of her senses to its fullest.

All while keeping her head cool, just like a calm lake without a single ripple.

With her sharpened mind, she fixed her gaze on her damn sister—the person that she said she would kill over and over again.

But, her sister was currently…

“...Hehehehe.”

…Laughing like a lunatic in a dazed expression.

It was as if she didn’t seem to care about her at all. If someone who didn’t know what happened were to see this, they’d probably think that she was mocking her.

Of course, that was also what Victoria felt after hearing her laugh.

…Is she looking down on me?

A sudden anger immediately burst out from the depths of her stomach.

Her sister had always been ahead of her ever since they were kids.

Victoria knew this for sure, however…

Seeing how her sister didn’t even try to lift a finger, even when she had openly expressed her desire to kill her so many times, it was understandable that she couldn’t help but burst out in anger.

If Dowd were to hear this, he’d explain that it wasn’t like Seras was looking down on her and even if she were to stab her, she’d probably still act like this, but unfortunately, he just had no time to explain that.

…After she abandoned me like that—

When that kind of thought came into her mind, cold sparks appeared in her eyes.

The image of her past, of the time when she was crying while hugging a worn-out toy amidst the dead bodies hanging on countless poles, came rushing into her head.

She remembered…

The time when she endlessly..

Waiting for someone in that hell.

-U-Unnie, w-when are you going to come…?

As those memories about a certain someone came rushing in.

“...”

The color that permeated Victoria’s eyes turned even more murky.

Grim emotions filled her hands, sticky like soot sticking on the floor.

Hatred—to the point where it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that her goal wasn’t just to assassinate her sister, but to tear her to pieces—enveloped both her hands.

Grand Assassin was a title that was only given to those who had reached a level where they could end the lives of even the most powerful people on the continent—those who were at the Saint’s level—if they were to let their guards down. And now Victoria was showcasing a power that was worthy of that title.

At that moment, her leg muscles tensed up. A strong power gathered there, creating the impression that she could just jump and cut Seras’ carotid artery from where she was right now.

And then…

Right before she was about to do exactly that…

Something strange suddenly came into her view.

A Demonic Aura.

Its color was white, with gray mixed in.

As if it was a ‘blend’ of those two colors.

“...Huh?”

Victoria herself didn’t even know why she had made such a sound. It sounded as if she was in a daze.

However, the next moment…

“...”

The daggers that she was holding dropped to the ground.

Then, she started to hyperventilate.

She could hear the excitement and joy in her breathing, as if she was delighted by this outcome.

“...H-Huh?”

[ Two Demonic Auras in the ‘Fallen’s Seal’ will be compounded! ]

[ Compounding…]

[ Success! ]

[ ‘Desire Impact’ is released from the Seal! ]

< side="" effect!="">

[ Different properties are given to the two different Demonic Auras due to the successful compounding! ]

[ With the effect of the ‘Gray Demonic Aura, all resistance of the affected Target will be weakened significantly! Their defense stat is dropping by two stages!]

[ The characteristics of the ‘White Devil’, ‘Enthrallment’ is applied! The Target's basic desire is temporarily increased! ]

< system="" message="">

[ All the Demonic Aura in the ‘Seal’ has been used up. You are unable to use the ‘color’-related abilities until you recharge it!]

“...”

I looked at the windows that popped up one after another before my eyes while letting out a sigh.

Then I checked on Victoria’s state—who was affected by the Demonic Aura from my Seal—carefully.

Did it work?

She dropped her weapon already, right? But…

I stared at her, who was holding her head with a blank gaze.

[What happened? What did you do?]

…I don’t know! I didn’t think it would be like this…!

The Seal helped me to handle the Demonic Auras of the Devils I came in contact with.

So far, I had come in contact with both the Grey and White Devil…quite ‘dirtyly’ if I may say so…

Anyway, that meant two Demonic Auras of different colors were stored inside the Seal.

So, I used up everything without hesitation. I figured that if I were to use Grey Devil’s Demonic Aura—which would allow me to stop time—and the White Devil’s Demonic Aura—which would allow me to enthrall anyone—at the same time, the effect would be enough to overpower her or something.

That did happen, but I didn’t expect it to have an ‘additional effect’ like this—!

< tip!="">

[ Because of your action, a special function is added to the Fallen’s Seal! ]

[ ‘Demonic Aura Compounding’ feature is added to ‘Fallen’s Seal’. ]

[ A special phenomenon will occur in addition to the original effect if more than two different colors of Demonic Auras are compounded! ]

[ The effect will be enhanced once you increase the skill below. ]

- Skill: Pandemonium King

As if responding to my words, such windows popped up one after another before my eyes.

…Woah, what the hell is this…?

At the moment, my main goal was, as the Grey Devil previously said, to raise my specs. This Fallen Seal—the item that was related the most to the Devils—was my best bet.

Of course seeing how these additional functions come in unexpectedly like this made me happy.

< system="" message="">

[ Target ‘Victoria’ is strongly affected by the ‘Desire Impact’ you have created! ]

[ Target’s ‘Basic Desire’ is intensified! ]

Well, that was one thing.

The problem here was that I didn’t know what effect this unknown thing would have on Victoria. I mean, such a window popped up before my eyes and all.

Originally, it would’ve ended with her mind becoming a little clouded and going blank afterwards, but it didn’t seem to be the case this time. She just stood there like a statue for quite a while, as if she was out of her mind.

“...”

As a test, I waved my hand in front of her eyes.

I did it out of concern since she hadn’t shown any reaction whatsoever, but the moment I did, she immediately reacted. Though, I didn't know if this was a good thing or not…

She just followed my waving hand with blank eyes at first, but soon enough, she snatched my hand.

“...!”

Then, she pounced on it as if she was going to bite it, freaking me out to the point that I tried to take my hand off her.

But before I could do that, she already held it tightly.

Her grip was strong, it felt as if my hand was stuck in a mechanical vise. I thought she’d attack me after grabbing my hand like this, but she just stayed still while holding it. It felt as if she did this out of instinct rather than consciously.

As if…

The moment I ‘got closer’ to her, her first instinct was to stop me from ‘getting away’ from her.

“...Don't…”

I could hear her mutter.

It was obvious that she wasn’t in the right state of mind when she said that. Her eyes had lost their focus and I couldn’t sense any intelligence in her voice.

But, I could feel the ‘desperation’ from her grip on my hand.

And her next words completely fit that feeling.

“D-Don't leave me… D-Don't l-leave me alone…”

She said stammeringly. Her voice sounded tearful.

“I-I'll do anything, s-so, p-please don't leave me…”

As she said those words…

She brought her face closer to my hand that she was clasping with both hands.

And licked it.

“...”

At that moment, it felt like my brain had just stopped working. Her appearance as she held my hand was so terrifying that I couldn’t even think to take my hand off her.

As I was stuck there, unable to do anything, Victoria stuck her little tongue out before applying her saliva on my hand, as if she was showing her willingness to obey my every word.

Her eyes were still unfocused, but her gesture made it seem like she was trying to get sympathy out of me.

With teary eyes, she licked my hand while panting.

At this moment, when my brain stopped working after facing this mysterious situation…

Another voice came from nearby.

“...E-Ehehe—”

“...”

Seras, looking as if she had completely lost her mind—even when compared to Victoria—held my other arm from behind.

“... You're doing something that makes me feel good—  Senioooor—”

“...”

Did you drink some alcohol while I wasn’t looking?

For some reason, she exuded the same vibe as men who came to the bar everyday to drink bottles of alcohol.

“Me too, me tooooo~ hehe~”

After she said that…

She took my free hand…

And put it in her mouth. Not long after that, she started sucking on it as if it was a candy.

In summary…

If Victoria was licking my hand carefully—yet somehow looked sadly and almost erotic—this punk did it purely as her expression of her affection to me.

You know, like a pet acting cute to its owner.

The way they did this was different but I could tell that this punk was also committing herself to her ‘instinctive needs’.

Not long after, only the smacking sound of water echoed in the room.

The sisters were on their knees, next to each other, diligently sucking on my fingers.

“...”

Seriously, what the hell is going on?

Also, how long is this gonna last?!

What if this leaves a negative impact on these two?!

< system="" message="">

[ ‘Desire Impact’ lasts for about five minutes! ]

[ The related effect would disappear without any side effects when the duration is over! ]

As if responding to my questions, that window popped up before me, prompting me to sigh in relief.

Good…

This meant that there would be no negative impact on these punks and they would come back to their senses after a while.

That was a relief.

All I needed to do was to stand here and let them suck my hands until they came back to their senses.

“...”

…This was the first time I had ever been in this kind of weird situation, huh?

You know, this still weirded me out a little, but…

…At least I could make it through this, I guess…

Even though things turned in a weird direction, I prevented those two from killing each other.

Which meant, I managed to accomplish my—

[Sure, brush it off like that, you perverted motherfucker.]

...

[What? Wanna refute my words?]

I’m not going to, but…;

Dude, I didn’t even tell them to do this! Why are you acting like this is my fault?!

Though, objectively speaking, it was really hard for me to refute his words, considering how I looked right now/

[ Target ‘Red Devil’s mood is getting worse rapidly.]

[ Target ‘Faenol Lipek’s mood is getting worse rapidly. ]

[ The Targets are also affected by your ‘Desire Impact’! ]

[ Initiating efforts to implement what was planned in more detail! ]

“...”

I didn’t know what these windows were on about, but…

What I knew was that there was no way this would be a good thing…
