Becoming the Guide of the Mysophobic Villain? Absolutely Not! - Chapter 11
The man was thrown at the feet of Claude.
He trembled in fear, his pitiful face pale.
“Why, why are you doing this? I don’t know anything!”
“This person is the one who found you last night while patrolling the square, Lord Claude.”
One of the burly men said.
Ah… It seemed to be the patrol officer I couldn’t see well yesterday due to the darkness.
“But… It doesn’t seem like he has any knowledge about the person who was with you.”
“I r-really didn’t know! I have bad eyesight. Besides, it was so dark and far. I couldn’t even tell if it was a person or an animal. I saw something moving swiftly, so I approached, and the only one left there was Lord Claude… eeek!”
Griiiit.
Claude gnashed his teeth.
“Because of you…”
“Pl, please spare me! Please spare me!”
Claude’s gaze was fierce, as if he could tear the man apart.
“…Drag him away.”
“Oh, please spare me!”
“Don’t hesitate to use any means to make him remember what happened.”
The man’s arms were grabbed again.
“Please spare me, pleasespareme…”
Well, Mr. Patrol Officer, may you find happiness in your next life…
The patrol officer was not entirely pitiable, but honestly, my own life was more precious.
He just did his job diligently, but I was no different.
I should be treated as a saint, not wanted by the authorities.
Unless that Claude guy, driven by his OCD, didn’t break the necks of innocent Guides!
“Please spare me. If anything happens to me, my family… My family!”
Yes, Mr. Patrol Officer’s family must be very worried and saddened.
But wait, I’m Rose Valentine, and I probably have a family too, right? …Or maybe not? In any case, in the past year, no one has come claiming to be Rose Valentine’s family.
Well, whether you have a family or not, every person’s life is equally precious.
“My, my wife suffered a lot because of me. She took care of me for ten years, and I finally got a regular job at the Center, and she was so happy!”
Well, isn’t it natural for spouses to sacrifice for each other when they get married? Sentimental stories like this are quite common.
“…And I have five children, as cute as little baby rabbits! If I, as the breadwinner, were gone, our children would…”
…Rabbits are quite resilient. Even if something happened to their dad, they would be fine…
“Moreover, there’s a sixth one on the way in my wife’s belly!”
…Ahhhh… I’m the one who should die…
I tried to rationalize and find some excuse for not being the one at fault, but it seemed impossible.
Yeah, surprisingly, Claude might not have any intention of killing me.
…Of course, he did kill Player!Irene right after we held hands in the game.
What would he do right after the kiss, the next day. Claude might have thought it over rationally.
Even if he remembered even a little, he’d know that he was more excited and was the one who came onto me during the kiss. Anyway, without me, he could have gone mad or died.
Thanks to me, the rampage was calmed down, our guiding compatibility was good, and maybe he felt some affection or gratitude.
In fact, it’s common for Espers to develop blind affection for Guides.
Guides hold the reins of their lives, so it might be natural.
Okay, let’s put our hope on the line. Let’s see how valuable my pitiful body is. The life of a father responsible for five children and an expecting wife is more precious.
I tightly closed my eyes and took a step closer to Claude. Then, I spoke up.
“That guide is…!”
“Me!”
…Eh?
It wasn’t me or Irene.
A third woman had appeared.
She had many freckles on her face, and she was tall with a slender build.
The woman approached Claude, her voice trembling as she spoke.
“Please let him go, Lord Claude. He’s done nothing wrong.”
“…”
“Last night, we had very intimate contact… It was too embarrassing to be caught by someone else, so I ran away.”
The woman took another step towards Claude and spoke loudly.
Ripples of commotion spread through the Guide department.
T/N: Thank you so so much for the kofi, WhiteKirby~!!
