I Will Live as a Villain the Magical Girl Is Obsessed With

5 – 3. I, Becoming a Villain – 1 (Revised 20/7/2023)

It’s the second weekend since I got possessed.

I didn’t have much to do last weekend, but this weekend will be different.

I prepare a bag and head out.

Stepping out of my room, a spring day welcomes me.

It’s a good day.

But my outing was not for leisure.

It was for something much more important.

‘I have to steal power from him.’

There are countless bad endings on the street where the magical girl is.

Among them is what is commonly called a backstabbing ending.

An ending betraying the helper you once trusted.

Bad ending number 18 was such a case.

As soon as I close my eyes, I vividly recall a disgusting sound in a dark, wet cave.

Iris, who is tied up by all sorts of tentacles and on the verge of being tortured.

“[You …You …Traitor… I trusted you… I was trusting you…]”

At the end of Iris’s gaze was a woman.

Her name is Chun Se-hee.

One of the heroes who helped Iris and resisted evil.

“[Noah…, now we’re only two…Ha…how long I waited for this…!]”

A perverted libertine who enjoys women being teased by tentacles.

A master of tentacle creatures who developed tentacles themselves.

A crazed lesbian who enjoys raping other women.

Those caught by her wickedness…Iris.

There’s no need to emphasize the harsh treatment she received next.

I needed to prepare to confront her.

With my weak stat, it would be a far cry to do so. It would be fortunate if I could escape from being seized by her tentacles.

“But still…”

I’m a player.

Having seen most of the game’s endings.

I know where she is and how to strategize against her.

The outing today was for that.

‘This way? It’s fortunate the path is the same as the game.’

I started on the path.

A path devoid of many individuals.

Perhaps that’s why the incident caught my attention more.

‘… I’m really bad at tailing.’

Feeling the sharp gaze on me, I turned my head back.

Then I saw a figure hiding behind the pillar.

A little girl was there.

A girl with white hair, who has been following me just now.

It wasn’t difficult to recognize her.

It was Nanoa. She’s been stalking me since I left the house.

Although calling it stalking would be a bit much.

Anyway, how proficient could a junior high school girl who just started her magical girl life be?

‘Is she still suspecting?’

Her suspicion seemingly hadn’t wavered, even though she was grateful for the weak food. She was likely suspecting that I may be a villain.

Even if that wasn’t the case, prudence wouldn’t hurt.

She would be following me with such a mindset.

‘So what now?’

A momentary dilemma hit me.

What am I to do about her?

Although I could shun her, this would only make her more suspicious.

Escaping was also difficult since there was a magical support mascot, Kkukkuku.

After contemplating, I quickly slipped into an alleyway on the side.

An offshoot squeezed between buildings.

A path too narrow for a person to pass.

I removed a cigarette at the corner of that place.

‘As naturally as possible.’

Flick.

The lighter sparked and the cigarette began to burn.

The smoke I deeply inhaled roamed the lungs and soon was exhaled.

“Phew…”

The sound of footsteps, tapping, was audible around that time.Something rounded a corner sharply.

“Ouch!?”

There was a cry of pain. She also tripped and fell backwards.

“Ugh…”

“Oh dear, are you alright?”

“Ah, yes, thank-“

Noah froze.

Noah, who gouged her gaze here and there in a fluster, soon spits out a lie.

“Why are you coming out from there, brother…?”

Really.

She’s a girl who can’t lie.

+++++

Noah was suspicious.

‘I was flustered then, but no matter how much I think about it, it’s weird.’

That man named Shinhyun. It was so strange that it was unbearable.

Even after her first meeting with the man, the girl visited the convenience store several times.

Every time, he greeted her and cared for her a lot, and always worried if she had any difficulties.

At home, several cup noodles appeared, and it became possible to prepare bandages and medicines.

…Alright, I admit it.

‘Maybe I’m really twisted.’

The man may really be showing pure goodwill, and she may be receiving it in a strange way.

Perhaps he simply had a good intuition and figured out her identity.

Noah’s acting wasn’t perfect yet, and it was possible that he read the strange commonalities between Iris and Nanoha.

But Noah’s heart couldn’t be that way.

When she received goodwill, she suspected a hidden agenda, and when she heard the compliments, she discolored it as false.

“Do I really have to follow him secretly…”

“Be quiet.”

“He doesn’t seem like a bad person…”

“Kill parents if needed. That’s a human being.”

Somehow, it was natural for Noah to be following behind this man.

So Noah followed the man.

The man seemed oblivious, and the tracking was perfect.

But…

‘I never thought I’d be caught for just one cigarette!’

It was a mistake.

She hurried too much after seeing the man disappear into the alley.

I had to beat around the bush.

“Why are you coming out from there, brother…?”

It was embarrassing.

The only thing she came up with was an outdated popular phrase.

What the hell is that, brother. Brother.

I’m sure I will be hugely ridiculed.Just like the old times.

Noah tightly shut her eyes. She didn’t want to see any mocking expression.

But as soon as she heard the kind voice coming towards her.

“Are you okay?”

“…Yes.”

Noah had no choice but to open her eyes.

The man showed no sign of mockery.

He only worried about Noah, who had splendidly fallen.

“I’m okay.”

“I’m relieved. I was worried you might have gotten hurt.”

The man stomped out her cigarette with her foot.

At that sight, Noah tensed up. She wondered what she should say as an excuse.

Nice to meet you like this!

What were you doing?

Maybe she could have naturally glossed over it by making such cheerful remarks.

Unfortunately, however, Noah didn’t have such abilities.

She just blinked her eyes and stared at the man.

The man was the first one to start talking.

“What are you doing here? I’m out because I have something to do.”

“Ah! Ehm… I was just taking a walk!”

“You must have been in a hurry. You were running so fast.”

“Even… even a magical girl needs stamina. So… hehehe…”

Things are going pretty well.

Noah thought so satisfyingly from the bottom of her heart.

The conversation continued.

She couldn’t ignore the feeling that the man was bringing up topics and being considerate… But it was a rewarding achievement for her, who lacks sociability, that the conversation was going well.

“Well then, I’ll be going now.”

“Yes.”

Only when the man left her spot did Noah feel relieved.

“That was close…”

“That was lucky.”

“It’d be troublesome if I get reported for stalking.”

“But you managed, so that’s okay. Let’s go again.”

Ignoring the disgruntled-looking Kkukkuku, Noah started her tracking again.

After that, the man went to a small alley. An alley where light didn’t penetrate well and a bad smell lingered.

One peculiar thing was that there was a big claw machine, and it was filled with white boxes.

“What is that…”

She knew what it was.

It was called a random box.

“What is that?”

“There is… Ah, a random box, huh. You pay to get a random item.”

I’ve seen it, but I didn’t think it was worth the money.

Did the man come all the way here for this?

Jiiing.

Jiiing.

Jiiing.

With the sound of money going in, a box falls. The impact noise is loud.

How many is he going to get?

The man who emptied an entire line.

“…Do you only take one?”

“Suspicious. Why does he get so many just to take one?”

She put one box in a bag and started moving again.

This time, the man went into a building.

[2nd Floor Bathroom]

Did he just go to the bathroom?

Noah, hiding her body behind a nearby signboard, stared intensely at the entrance of the building.

From noble mtl dot com

How much time had passed?

Just when she was about to give up and leave.

“Look there! Noah!”

“Why, is it that man?”

“No, just a very pretty woman.”

“Oh, focus instead of looking at that sort of thing.”

She admitted to a human woman being the new subject.

Just as Noah was about to scold, her movement stopped.

“She’s pretty.”

Now she understood why she’d said that.

A very beautiful woman was coming out of the building.

Long black hair that flowed down to her waist. A white T-shirt clinging to her body and jeans that revealed her sensual figure.

Anyone passing by would have likely turned their heads. She was a beauty.

However, what caught Noah’s attention was elsewhere.

“Uh… No. Don’t meddle for no reason…”

“Noah?”

“But that… she’s going to be super embarrassed if she continues that way…”

Distressed Noah.

Soon she seemed to make up her mind, stood up, and approached the woman.

“Um… Excuse me!”

“Yes?”

The woman’s blue eyes sparkled.

Noah mustered up the courage and looked at her.

“I may be rude as this is our first meeting, but…”

“Yes?”

“You’re not wearing a bra.”

The woman looked surprised.

It seemed like she just realized that she hadn’t worn underwear.

“Oh! Thank you.”

“No problem. I was just a little concerned…”Noah, flushed from seeing inside the cave. No matter how much she was also a woman, it was uncomfortable to see such a blatant figure.

The woman just as quickly bowed her head in embarrassment and disappeared.

Looking at the disappearing figure of the woman, Noah let out a sigh.

“Let’s go back, Gwigwi.”

“Eh? Are we stalking?”

“Sort of… I lost my steam. It’s about my part-time job’s time.”

“Can’t help it… Let’s hurry. In fact, my phone has been ringing. Was it a phone vibration?”

“…Why are you telling me now! Ahh…! It’s late!”

+++++

Noah quickly ran out.

And the female figure, secretly confirming this, said,

“Didn’t realize it was me?”

She murmured, laughing immediately after.

“The performance of the transformation medicine is reliable.”
