As a self-proclaimed biggest fan of the web novel "The Evil Villainess is My Lover", it's everyone's dream to meet the character in real life, including Suna Mikiya. Her dreams were almost fulfilled when she helped the transgressor Noel Kieran and Ricky Kruger to find their items. And just like she wished, she became one of the most powerful and beautiful beings in that world. Two pair of wings? Check! Beautiful eyes? Check! Silky skin that felt scaly? Uh…Check? Tails and horns? Wait.
Lihat lebih banyakAs the winter in Japan intensified, the surroundings gradually turned cold. Pieces of snowflakes floated about and landed effortlessly on my metal window pane. Gleaming as it bounced the light that was coming from my dimly lit bed lamp. However, rather than staring at those fluffy white structure, I’m on for a bigger mission.
BLING!
My smartphone bleeped. I picked it up from the bedside shelf and glanced briefly at the clock; 2.15 a.m. Scoffing at the late time, because I don’t care, I unlocked the phone’s touchscreen by swiping my thumb on it’s cold and slippery surface. Immediatlely after unlocking my screen, notifications popped out like mushrooms after rain. I clicked my tongue in exasperation and started my hunt for one notification, the only notification that I wanted to see.
“There it is!” My eyes lit up when it saw a single pink notification bar among all those white notifications. I quickly sat up, crossing my legs along the way as I tapped on the notification. A loading screen for a w******l app appeared for a few seconds—enough for me to cover myself with my thick blanket to protect me from the cold—before it loaded the homescreen for the app. Then I squealed.
“It’s here!” I squealed again. This time I grasped the phone tight on my chest and rolled on the bed in excitement for several rounds, squealing and kicking the cold air vigorously. I sat back up after some time, and after feeling a numb sensation across my feet. I brought the phone screen to my face and took another few more seconds to stare at the screen. There—reflected in my eyes—was none other than the new update for my favorite romance novel “The Evil Villainness is My Lover”. It was my first ever book since I downloaded this w******l app, and it has been my favorite ever since.
It tells the story of Carter, the son of a poor farmer in the countryside. Because of how penniless they are, they have to sell Carter—who’s an 18 years old that year—to the capital to work as a guard. His change started when the horse cart that brought him and 12 other village kids got ransacked by a goblin. Every single one of them died except Carter who managed to escape into the forest.
Inside the forest, he spent several days trying to find food and water, but finally gave up when he have little to none survival knowledge. He was saved—however—by none other than the evil protagonist herself, Minerva Lyle Williams. Deciding to bring Carter home, she never knew that’s when her love story with him began. I squealed again when I remembered the storyline, I’m not even reading the latest chapter yet but here I am destroying my vocal cords. I’m lucky that my parents allowed me to live alone in Tokyo because of my studies. If not, I’ll have to stay in my hometown in the region of Osaka where the internet connection is scarce.
I gathered myself and blew a sigh, trying to calm my nerve down. Then, pressing the “PAY WITH COINS” button, the screen loaded again for a moment, before the chapter unlock. I fumbled my toes, reading the chapters intently as the atmosphere quieted down.
The other reason why I was so excited for the newest chapter was, it stopped at a good part where another new character is introduced. It was a mythical dragon, named as Clairmont but people called him Halberdier of Chaos, Rodrigar. Even though he’s just introduced in about a few chapters, somehow, he immediately became my favorite. I don’t know how should I put it, but maybe I’m attracted by how the author managed to explain his appearance in detail; a dark skin tone, piercing golden eyes with a spiraling red around it’s cornea, tall stature, and leanly muscular body. The author also stated in their notes that Clairmont looked like an Arabic prince, but for me, he’s like a beautiful being, having a perfect feature that’s blessed by the author who created him.
My lips formed a smile in awe as I read this new chapter. It was at the part where Carter secretly formed a pact with Clairmont so he could gain more power to stand side by side with Minerva. Then, after a few more plotlines, the chapter ended.
I heaved a sighed of satisfaction, and maybe a little bit of regret? Because I have to wait for another three days for the new chapter to be uploaded. It was jarring, but for a story this good, I’m willing to wait. I laid back onto my bed, daydreaming about the day I’ll be able to meet Clairmont, or even every character in this story.
A bright light suddenly flashed into my room. I jolted in surprise, and automatically shielded my eyes with one of my hands as I crouched down to the bed. The light disappeared soon after, replaced with a gentle sound of chattering.
“Ricky, I told you not to prematurely chant the spells and immediately enter the portal. What do you think will happen if your body get disjointed?” A smooth—thin but masculine at the same time—voice said in a low tone, as if scolding someone.
“What? We usually do it like that, don’t we?” Another voice—more deeper and huskier than the first one—retorted.
“Yes. That is if we entered a portal with the rarity purple and above. There’s still a risk in entering carelessly into a blue portal like this one.” The first voice corrected.
I slowly lowered my hands. I’m afraid, but their human-like voice caught my interest in wanting to see their face. I gasped in shock after I caught the sight of both of them.
One guy, Oh My God… Possessed the beauty that I’ve never seen in anyone before, not even in the Miss universe in my university, or not even in any idol that I’ve seen and admired before. His beauty is his own; round eyes that lined with long and curled eyelashes, a shining grey eyes—like the color of the moon, the perfect features of his face, and chest-length dark blue spakly hair, looking almost like the night sky. I squinted my eyes, trying to eye his other features that I couldn’t determine clearly because of our distance. I’m staring too hard that I didn’t realize that the two of the have spotted me hiding behind my blanket.
“Uh-” He paused, eyes fluttering from the obvious confusion shown on his face. “Excuse me?” He greeted in English, in which I took time to understand because I’m not too fluent in that Western language.
I jolted.
“Y-Yes…?” I replied in a tiny voice, slightly wary of them and their sudden appearance. I paused again for a few seconds solely thinking for words to describe my question that I have in mind, translated in English. I finally gave up when the other guy who’s beside the beauty stood forward, aligning his higher shoulder with him. He looks very different from the first guy—who is elegant. At a glance, I swore I saw a lion beside that beautiful guy, not a human. He also posses a beauty of his own—all of them in a form of vigor. His slightly thick brows were paired with his eagle shaped eyes. The irises are golden like his short layered cut hair that was styled neatly, his golden bangs brushed on behind his ears. As he stood beside that grey eyed guy, his body is more muscular than him, a broad shoulder that indicates a person who’s a protecter, and stunned every people that saw him.
Including me.
“W-Who are you guys?” I asked in my mother tongue, Japanese. Upon realizing what I said, I covered my mouth, eyes darted in between them awkwardly as I gradually feel shy.
“So you’re Japanese, huh?” He suddenly spoke with a fluent Japanese as he weaved a smile at me.
“Eh?” My eyes lit up.
“You can understand Japanese?!” I remarked.
“We both can, actually.” The golden haired guy gently scrathed the back of his head.
My eye sparkled with excitement, before soon after, turned into a scrutinizing look. “…Breaking into someone else’s house is a crime, you know? I can call a police all I want.” I raised my phone.
The two of them shot me a strange look, like they didn’t understand what’s the threat for them even if I called the police. The dark blue haired guy caned his chin, his other hand rested on his hips.
“…I’m sorry for tresspassing into your house. I actually want to ascertain something with you.” He explained, still using a fluent Japanese that amazes me every time I heard them. He sounded like he had lived in Japan for a long time, given how fluent he speak.
The three of us then sat on the wide space in front of my bed that I made as a small living room. Because I lived alone with my parents’ allowance, I don’t want to burden them by having to pay my rent in a bigger place, so I rented a 6 tatami mat apartment. Simply put, it’s a small apartment room with thin walls and a lot of flaws. But the room is cheap, so I scraped by with everything to make the room inhabitable.
Before inviting them to sit, I pushed any comic books and magazines that were scattered on the floor onto the side and gave the two of them a zabuton, a small pillow used as a sitting place. Surprisingly, the two of them also knew how to sit properly on a zabuton, which again raised my sense of respect for them. Though, I had to work a bit harder just to host two massive people which I guessed their height at about 6.4 foot to 7.1 foot. If these two people were to step on the 5.1 foot me, I think I’d probably die.
“I’m sorry, I only have green tea.” I served a tray filled with two cup of hot tea.
“It’s okay.We’re grateful for your hospitality.” The dark blue haired guy smile. I have an inkling that he’ll be my next favorite stan. Well, if he’s proven to be a normal person and not a weirdo who appeared out of nowhere.
He carefully lifted the cup and handed it to the golden haired guy.
“Here, hold it like this.” He motioned to the other guy with his hands—one hand supporting the bottom of the cup while the other one hold it’s surrounding.
“Like this?” The other guy reaffirmed, doing exactly as the first guy’s instruction. Seeing them conversing to tenderly with each other heightened my bromance sense. My imagination suddenly ran wild and I giggled all by myself. My shameless act gained the dark blue haired guy’s attention.
“What’s wrong, miss?”
I immediately shook my head a no. “Nothing. Go on, have some tea.”
He accepted my offer and the two of them sipped the tea almost simultaneously. My bromance radar pinged again.
Gosh, if they continue being this close, I won’t be able to see them as mere friends anymore.
“Again, we’re sorry for suddenly barging into your house this late. My name is Noel Kieran, and this is my partner, Ricky Kruger.” He motioned to the guy named Ricky, who was enjoying the tea, now to it’s fullest.
I nodded in understatement. Now that I heard their names, I’m convinced that the two of them were foreigners, a fluently Japanese speaking foreigners.
“Ah, my name is Suna Mikiya-” I paused.
…Did he just say partner?
“…Are you guys a couple?” Oops, my mouth slipped, but I really wanna ask that.
Contrary to my expectation—which I thought they’d panicked out or something—Noel chuckled to my question, as he calmly responded, “We’re not. Me and Ricky are partners who ventured together between worlds.”
…Partner what?
“What?” I fluttered my eyes. I think I heard it wrongly before, but did he said ventured between worlds? An idea sparked inside my mind, sending synapses all through my body, making my mouth curve into a grin and my body shuddered.
“Don’t tell me, a transgressor?”
I asked. He nodded a yes as a response, earning a WOW from me.
“Awesome!”
He chuckled, while Ricky placed the cup on top of the kotatsu—a low table equipped with heater and a thick and soft futon closing in between the legs.
“I’m impressed that you didn’t get surprised by us.”
“Of course! It’s my dream to meet with a transgressor! I knew they were out there somewhere.” I heaved a determined sigh as I clenched one of my hand into a fist.
He briefly glanced at Ricky and the two of them seemed to exchange glances. Seriously, I feel like there’s more to them than just being a travel partner. It’s like they both understand each other without saying a word.
“Well then, you must know that every trangressor’s goal in venturing into another world is to seek for something, right?”
“Indeed!” I answered enthusiastically. I’ve read countless of manga and webnovels with transgression as the theme, and if not to have a laid back life, the protagonists will always have a destination inside their mind—what they wanna do and what they wanna achieve.
I guess Noel and Ricky were also the same. Them venturing into other worlds to achieve their goal, and I’m excited to be their assist in their search.
“How may I help you with your goal?”
Noel paused, looking like he’s hesitating.
“This might be too much to ask, but do you by any chance, stumbled upon an orb—a black an white colored one like Feng Shui—anywhere?” His tone sounded unexpecting. But I hate to break this to him, so I said, “I do found it, you know?”
(TMI! It’s TMI I tell you!)(Suna’s POV)It was almost night time when we returned to Varain. I wasn’t as tired as when I fought the earth dragon, but it did feel pretty tiring answering question about how me and Clairmont managed to defeat the entire population of goblins in a single day, when we arrived at the adventurer’s guild to submit our quest.“Their interrogation reminded me again of why I hate mingling with lesser races.” Clairmont commented, while he enjoyed some tea that I brewed.“Uhm, I too am a lesser race, you know?” Carter, who was daydreaming by himself, suddenly answered.His reply earned a chuckle from me and a grimace from Clairmont.“Clairmont, that’s not a nice thing to say. You will hurt someone if you say that to their faces.” And let’s not forget, I was a human before I became a dragon too. But fair enough, I too felt like the amou
(That's the main character alright)(Suna’s POV)“Thank you so much for saving us!” While I hover about the ground and slowly landed on its earthly surface, I saw Minerva walking towards me. There was this wide smile that she showed us, looking particularly glad and satisfied, that it showed a glint in her mesmerizing crimson eyes.She shot a smile between me and Clairmont, before continuing her unending praise. “The two of you are amazing earlier. I don’t know what will happen if you guys didn’t come.” Minerva said. Her cheekbones that align well with her face structure, making them look full but not too plump, was blushed with a soft red hue. She was blushing, and I felt like I would too, if she looked at me like that.All I could do was sheepishly giggle, a habit my body couldn’t help but do when I feel awkward, while Clairmont—who stood by my side—was throwing his eyes out
(A fan meeting yeay!)(Suna’s POV)[Several minutes earlier…]“I’m hungry.”My eyes deadpanned him. “Are you seriously hungry right now? We are on an emergency mission to save Carter, you know?”“Well, but I can’t do anything if I’m hungry, okay? Don’t you have any snacks that you can buy from your skill? Like an ice cream or something?” He whined.I grimaced at him. “I see what you’re on about. You’re trying to coax me into buying you an ice cream, huh? I won’t buy anything until we save Carter-!”GGRRROOOWLLL….The surroundings went silent.Clairmont bashfully pursed his lips and rubbed his belly. “…I told you I’m hungry.”His statement won another grimace from me, because I didn’t expect for him to be honest. He’s usually either sly, or strange. But he
(Saviour) Carter The hammering in his chest rendered his fingers to tremble, while also numbing his senses towards the surroundings. The people’s chattering, the slightly chilly atmosphere, and even the bright sun seemed to cancel out in the presence of this unknown girl. What is this? Why was he feeling this way? “Tell me, who are you?” The female stopped chatting with what Carter presume her teammates, and turned to look at him with a thin smile on her rosy lips. The wind was gently blowing against them, making the side bangs that framed her face flowed softly. Carter felt choked of his own words, and looked down in embarrassment. The toned-down atmosphere became even quiet. “My name is Minerva, Minerva Lyle Williams.” She rested her hands on her hips, and widened her smile. “Now that I’ve introduced myself, might as well give me your name.” Carter instantly froze. The hammering against his chest didn’t seem like it will stop soon, and for some reason, he was feeling pretty b
(The end. Yeah right.)(Suna’s POV)In an instant, the two of us stayed still, patiently checking Carter.“…He really is walking away from us.” I repeated, while turning behind my shoulders to look at Clairmont. The glinting hue of deep gold in his eyes indicated the activation of his power, and by his nodding, he seemed to feel the same.I returned my focus to my radar. The Carter in my radar looked more like a circular dot tinted in light green, meaning that he’s an ally. Otherwise, all the dots in my radar, which represents other existence, is either white, for neutral creep or weak enemy, or red, representing an existence of severe hostility.For the time being, I zoomed in my radar to see Carter up close. His dot turned into the close-up view of him walking through the forest, like a CCTV camera or something. His transcend through the forest looked unstable. Like he was walking without a destination
(Upheaval)CarterWhile the ground shook every once in a while, and loud and shrill shrieks could be heard filling the forest, Carter was anxiously scanning his surroundings. It all started when Suna told him via telepathy that she would be sending something in his way. But the problem was, he missed the chance to ask what it really was. He remembered guessing whether it was an enemy or not, but she just told him not to worry.Which made him even frantic.Carter is in no way prominent in fighting, nor even guarding, so he was sure that this wasn’t a great idea, for whatever thing one of his benefactors asked to keep an eye on. However, he was also not that prominent in magic to be able to bridge a telepathic communication with Suna to respond to her.For the countless amount of time, Carter swallowed nervously. He was starting to feel pain from his oesophagus, as he was swallowing only air for how wary he was towards his surroun
(A battle begun)Suna“Huh?” Carter started to panic after hearing that. “Wh-What should we do about them?”I passed my glance at Clairmont.“Do I look like that to you before?” I asked.Clairmont grimaced at me. “Well, just like that, but whinier and louder.”I shielded my face and proceeded to memetically mouthed an OH. That was a pure insult, but I have nothing to say because I can be gross sometimes.“We do nothing, obviously.” Clairmont said, replying to Carter while taking off his cloak and placing it inside his inventory. Following him, I did the same before adjusting my braid.For some reason, white tunic, black pants or skirts, and a pair of brown leather boots have become a go-to outfit for both me and Clairmont. Maybe because it’s easy to acquire them, even though I could buy a myriad of outfits from the [ONLINE SHOPPING
Repeat after me: Flick and SpankSuna“Hey, Clairmont.” I muttered to him, without giving him a glance as I etched my eyes on the chieftain’s shenanigans of opening and closing his mouth. Those armor looks heavy, especially that contraption-something protecting his neck. “I think my eyes are playing tricks with me.”Clairmont shot me a side-eye. “You’re saying?”“I am not the only one who sees her, didn’t I?” Clairmont glanced to the chieftain again. “Oh, you’re right. There is a girl beside the goblin chieftain…” His voice trailed off; shock laced his tone little by little.“Why?” His face scrunched into a puzzled frown. I don’t even know, Clairmont, so that confusion didn’t help me much.In the entire spectrum of panorama my eyes could see, this greenish and crude view in front of me is intervened by the un
SunaFrom architectural sense, Varain is quite different than Rustaval. Probably because it’s a town governed by mostly humans, I can say, it fits exactly what a stereotypical medieval town would look like. Bustling streets with a little less hygiene and livestock frolicking about, wanting to be sold, hawker yelling the freshness of their products, less magical looking adventurer guild, and…Goblins.“Ugh…” I unconsciously scowled.Now don’t get me wrong there. I don’t harbour any hostile intent towards the race people called ‘goblins’, I just deeply… despise them. You know, like when you don’t know the truth and blindly dislike someone you barely even know?Yeah, like that, netizens.Another reason why those greenskins irked me to a certain degree, was because the insurmountable amount of mangas and animes stating their notoriety.
