How To Live As An Academy Extra Villain

54 – Extra: The Count’s Lady’s Melancholy (3)

Edwin and Ellie, who he could see before his eyes, were committing extremely unsophisticated acts without hesitation.

First of all, sitting next to me was a problem.

No matter how close friends were, it was polite to look at each other when sitting in a place like this.

It’s not even that they are far away, but they are sitting so close to each other that they can almost feel each other’s breath.

If his father or mother had seen him do that, he would have been scolded and even banned from going out for a while.

To top it off, Ellie continued to commit even more unscrupulous acts toward Edwin.

He quietly approached Edwin and put his shoulder close to him,

He lifted his finger and tapped the back of Edwin’s hand,

He seemed to lightly grab Edwin’s forearm, but at some point, his hand slipped away and he made a posture of crossing his arms.

Why bother whispering something that can just be said?

“Ellie, you buried it again.”

“where?”

“There, on your left cheek.”

“here?”

“No, not there…hehehe, just stay still.”

“hehehe, I like it better when Ed wipes me…”

The culmination of all this was the act of deliberately putting cream on one’s cheek to show it to Edwin, and eventually making Edwin wipe it off with his own hands.

And what, Ed?

I knew they were close, but they were close enough to allow such a nickname… ?

Iris sat blankly in her seat for a long time after she finished sharing her senses with Sugar, and only got up when she remembered that Pamela would be anxiously waiting for her.

“…I’m sorry, Pamela. I’m really sorry. Something really urgent came up…”

Iris was apologizing with her whole body to Pamela, who was sitting in the front seat.

Even though a long time had passed, Pamela was still waiting for her, and as if to prove it, the ice in the glass in front of her had all melted and now turned into clear water.

“It’s okay. If you say that, then you really mean it. It’s okay, Ari.”

Pamela pretended to be sulky at first, but when Iris continued to offer her apples, she accepted them in an indifferent manner. Iris then sighed as if relieved, and, looking at Pamela’s gaze, spoke softly.

“Um…Pamela. I want to ask you something…are you okay…?”

“Ugh, are you okay? You can ask without looking at me.”

Iris and Pamela have something in common: they belong to the same count family, are the same age, and are in the same class, so they quickly became friends from the beginning of the semester and became friends who could confide in each other.

However, the difference between the two was that while Iris had no immunity to the opposite s*x and had little knowledge of men her age, Pamela was treated differently among female students.

Iris also often attended tea parties where female students chatted, but Pamela was even the vice president of the academy’s own social club, despite being a first-year student.

Not only she, but many other female students had knocked on Pamela’s dormitory door seeking advice on issues related to the opposite s*x, so the only person Iris could ask about in that area was Pamela.

“Well… let’s say there is a man and a woman who are close to each other…”

Iris recalled Iris and Ellie’s actions from earlier and described them to Pamela.

Pamela’s expression hardened as Iris’ story continued, and when she heard that she had put whipped cream on her cheek on purpose and had the man wipe it off, she shook her head as if it were a sight to see.

“…Anyway, this isn’t something you would do between friends, right…?”

“What? Iris. No matter how naive you fell for it, of course you wouldn’t know this much. If I had been in front of someone claiming to be a friend to do such a thing, I would have immediately raised my cheek.”

“I-I know that much…I was just asking just in case…”

When Iris hurriedly answered, Pamela clasped her hands together and raised her chin, giving Iris a suspicious look.

“No matter how you look at it, it’s strange. Judging from what you’re saying, it seems like you’ve experienced it yourself…Iris, aren’t you like that kid? I told you.

“W-what kind of nonsense…! I told you not to talk like that about commoners! And I told you several times that we have nothing to do with each other… I’m just helping you out sometimes…”

As Pamela continued to look at her suspiciously, Iris continued to protest as if she was extremely wronged.

“…and would I do something like that…I never did it even when I had a fiancé…”

“Hmm, that’s true. There’s no way our Iris, who is such a virtuous lady, would do something like that.”

“fox…?”

Iris questioned Pamela in a cautious tone.

“Yes, fox. Anyone can see that you are sending signals that say, ‘I’m tempting you’ with your entire body. A man… can’t understand it just by hearing you. He’s quite inexperienced, so he could just be a nerd, or he’d like it too. I have a heart, but I can do it because I’m ashamed.”

“what…?”

“Why? If you’re interested, can you teach me? Well, it’s time for Ari to start taking interest in other men. Now that I’ve dropped that beggarly fiancée. Ah, while you’re talking about it, you should also join our social club once…”

“No, no! It’s not like that…”

When Pamela hinted that she was trying to persuade her to join the cult, Iris immediately cut her off with a wave of her hand.

Pamela clicked her tongue, then pulled herself back and buried herself on the couch.

Iris calmed down for a moment, then lowered her voice and asked Pamela again in a more serious manner.

“So anyway, what you’re saying is, if a woman continues to behave like this to a man and the man accepts it as if he can’t win, then it’s okay to think that they like each other…?”

“To what extent? I just said that, but of course it could be because we really have feelings for each other.”

“under…”

Iris let out a cry of exclamation in a cold voice, and the echo became empty smoke and scattered in all directions.

***

Originally, I had planned to stay with Pamela until dinner and then part ways, but Iris wasn’t in the mood and left early.

As Iris trudged towards the academy, she continued to reflect on the stories she had shared with Pamela earlier.

Only after listening to Pamela’s words, Iris was finally able to understand the identity of the sticky and unpleasant emotions that had enveloped her for so long.

It was anger and resentment.

‘We’re not just close friends, maybe we’re more than that… ‘

When she remembered Edwin and Ellie flirting again, uncontrollable anger welled up deep inside Iris.

Edwin. you could do that

You could have treated me the same way you treated that girl.

Why didn’t you show that kindness, kindness, preciousness and kindness to me?

When I treated you with such utmost sincerity over the years, what kind of heart did you return to me?

And as soon as you broke up with me, you found another woman and were enjoying yourself like that?

The pain in my heart hasn’t gone away yet?

You know how to do that, why the hell did you do that to me that day?

No matter how much my family talked about breaking up the marriage, I was going to do my best.

My father and mother probably did it because they were thinking of me, but I don’t think it’s right to break a promise just because your situation has improved.

And if we had expressed our opposition together, they would have never been able to get their way.

But instead of being able to help me, you kicked me to the curb by saying such harsh words.

With an attitude as if everything went well.

With the attitude that he was just waiting for this day.

How can someone do that?

What am I lacking?

My family is a well-known and prestigious family, and I am also a daughter of great talent and beauty without any flaws.

Was it because I was somehow inferior to that child?

You like it because she’s an obedient woman? Don’t be ridiculous. You were dragged around by that kid all day today.

Even when that child committed all kinds of unscrupulous acts, you just silently accepted it.

Oh, or is that it?

Do you like a woman who teases her body in such a shallow manner?

Edwin Reed. Was he that much of a man?

The fact that Robinette’s daughter would abandon me so miserably, with such a promiscuous woman who behaves so promiscuously… !

“…uh?”

At the unbelievable idea that suddenly popped into her head, Iris was surprised and covered her mouth with her hand.

what are you saying.

What on earth did I say…

Calm down, Iris…

Let’s rest, I was so tired today.

Let’s go and get some sleep.

Then when you wake up tomorrow, you can start fresh again.

Let’s go back quickly.

hurry…

***

Even though Iris went to bed early, the promise she made upon returning to the dormitory was meaningless. She couldn’t fall asleep until dawn.

I just passed the time by tossing and turning, changing my posture here and there.

All kinds of distracting thoughts were stuck in her head and she couldn’t bear to let go. In the end, Iris couldn’t stand it anymore and got up.

“ha…”

Iris turned on the water lamp, took a sip of water, and then let out a long breath.

I thought all relationships ended with the breakup of the engagement, but I never thought such an ordeal was still waiting for me.

In fact, this is more of a problem for you than for Edwin.

No matter how unfair and angry he is, Edwin is now a stranger.

It wasn’t any of his business to worry about what he was doing…

“Should I even look for someone new now…?”

As news of the breakup of her and Edwin’s engagement spread, dozens of engagement proposals poured into Robinette’s home.

However, he didn’t feel like it yet, so he postponed it until later and sent all the rejection documents.

‘If I had known it would be like this, I would have just read it… ‘

The moment he was lamenting and regretting the decisions he had made in the past,

A signal suddenly came to Iris.

This…

“Sugar?”

If he called, he called, but Sugar had never called himself first.

Maybe something happened and they’re calling me… ?

ask for help… ?

no… If something happens to Sugari here and now, I really can’t…

“…Sugar!!”

Iris tried to calm her pounding heart and used her powers to check Sugar’s location and condition.

As he closed his eyes and focused his mind, he gradually began to feel the sights and sounds he was seeing.

In front of Sugari’s eyes, there was a small mansion and an open window.

The surroundings are quiet, and judging from the fact that Sugar is also peaceful, it seems that nothing has happened…

But why did this child call me… ?

Just as Iris let out a sigh of relief, Sugi suddenly flies up and flies toward the window of the mansion.

It happened so quickly that there was no time to stop it, but somehow, Iris began to strongly believe that Suguri seemed to have something she wanted.

Sugar flew into the room and landed on the bed across from the window.

In Sugi’s eyes, a person sleeping in bed was soon reflected, and Iris was shocked when she confirmed the person’s identity.

“I’m sorry, forgive me just once… I’m sorry…”

In front of Iris’ eyes was the image of Edwin, who was constantly begging for forgiveness from her in her dreams.

Edwin’s muttering continued throughout the night, and Iris couldn’t sleep the rest of the day either.
