I Became A Squirrel Seeking For The Villain

Yohan made up his mind. After all, the squirrel and he were in a relationship where they gave and received what they needed from each other.

 

He just has to somehow hide his true nature and get along with the squirrel until his magic power calms down, so that’s definitely all.

 

‘When all the magic calms down…so I could use proper magic.’

 

If that was the case, Yohan was planning to sweep away this dukedom at once.

 

The boy’s inner self, which had already become darker and darker, was soon harboring cruelty.

 

The stepmother who had trapped him, the wicked stepbrother who thought he was a great wizard without knowing the subject, and the servants who were busy trying to please them.

 

And by then, even the squirrel would have become human.

 

‘I guess you have nowhere to go when you become a human.’ 

 

Yohan’s eyes darkened as he stroked the squirrel’s back. 

 

‘Should I tell it to stay at the duke’s mansion?’

 

His fingers led to the Hyrad’s symbol engraved on the squirrel’s chest.

 

‘If you don’t erase this,…Even if you become human, you can’t leave the Hyrad.’

 

That’s what came to his mind at that time.

 

Without even guessing what he was thinking, the squirrel took a deep breath and stuck out its chest as if telling him to feel it as much as he wanted.

 

It was an expression as if it was giving him a reward for a hard day.

 

‘Well, it’s a relationship that uses each other anyway, so I’m not really thankful, but it gave me the best gift…’

 

Yohan’s imagination continued, unaware of the future in which he would soon be dragged to the battlefield.

 

‘I’m not trying to be nice to you, but there’s no need to ignore your tastes, so I’ll fill you with gold, silver, and all kinds of jewels. ‘

 

The thoughts came pouring out in a hurry.

 

‘I will let you enjoy luxury no less than Ella.’

 

‘You may still like sunflower seeds, so  I will fill every room with all kinds of nuts.’

 

‘Your round and clear pink eyes will only see pretty and good things.’

 

The squirrel will commemorate the path it took up the tower by paving it with pure gold.

 

‘And I will make sure that our bond is never forgotten and will be preserved for generations to come.’

 

His thoughts could not continue any longer. This was because the squirrel started tapping the pillow as if telling him to calm down quickly.

 

Yohan, who had come to his senses for a moment, whispered while lying down on the bed.

 

“About your name….”

 

“Kyuung?”

 

Yohan spoke as if in a trance, recalling the body temperature of the squirrel he had held in his hand during the last mealtime.

 

“That’s ridiculous. Your eyes aren’t black. They’re very pretty pink.”

 

It pleased him greatly that no one else knew that fact.

 

When he heard that the squirrel had calmed Tezen down with its paws, a wave of anger came crashing down on him, but when he heard that Tezen’s words were easily ignored, his heart instantly softened.

 

That little squirrel was already shaking up his emotions.

 

Yohan slowly opened his eyes seductively.

 

The name that suited his precious squirrel was not modeled after the continent’s greatest beauty.

 

So, the first thing that came to his mind when he saw it was a very cute and round nickname.

 

Yohan whispered languidly, stroking the squirrel’s cheek.

 

“Momo, I’ll call you Momo.”

 

And the squirrel, in response to his courtship-like nickname.

 

“Kyuuung…” 

 * * * 

I made a sour expression on my face.

 

Momo? It’s really not good.

 

I was so dumbfounded that I almost threw the acorn I was holding at my side.

 

‘Hey, where did I come from to have such a cute name? Am I some kind of doll? Or a pet?:

 

Although it seemed to suit my little squirrel’s appearance, I couldn’t accept it in my heart.

 

‘You should give me a dignified name, one that looks formidable to anyone who hears it because I’m an incredible talent!’

 

‘Momo? Isn’t it too cute and adorable? I’m not that kind of person.’

 

But looking into those moist purple eyes, I couldn’t shake my head violently.

 

This was the same me who didn’t refuse when Mariel gave me the ridiculous name of ‘blackie’ earlier

 

‘He might be crooked for no reason.’

 

I decided to endure for a while for the sake of the future villain’s beautiful growth environment.

 

This child may already be very crooked, so he must be treated with care.

 

If I reject ‘Momo’ when I comply with ‘Blackie’….By the way, aren’t my eyes black?’ 

 

In fact, the only person who saw my human form was Yohan, and all I saw of myself was light brown hair and the hands of a little girl.

 

‘Well, okay, you’re the only one who’s going to call me anyway.’ 

 

I nodded my head as I looked at Yohan.

 

Yohan put me on his palm with a proud expression on his face.

 

“I thought you didn’t like it…If you think about it, it suits you, doesn’t it?”

 

His eyes bent like half a moon, he smiled quietly. 

 

“You look cute, lovely, and sunny looking.….”

 

Well, I know I’m essential, but who would have thought someone would call a squirrel by such grandiose terms?

 

I snickered and placed my paw on his forehead.

 

I didn’t accept the name Momo because you complimented me with all the right words, I really didn’t.

 

“Momo.”

 

Yohan whispered, fiddling with the golden thread wrapped around my feet.

 

“I’ll give you more money later.”

 

People who are born with great magical powers like Yohan cannot use magic easily.

 

This is because there is too much magical power stored in the human body to handle. The pain they feel is a bonus.

 

So, once a divine beast encounters a crazy magical power, it absorbs that.

 

‘That’s what I’m doing now.’

 

After absorbing and calming the magical power in this way for several days, the wizards are finally able to use magic.

 

Of course, after using powerful magic once, the magical power goes wild again and they need the help of a divine beast.

 

“I promise. I’ll make you much happier than when you were with Tezen.”

 

“Kyuung.”

 

‘That’s just a dream. You’ll be taken to the battlefield before that.’

 

Apparently, he plans to take over Duke Hyrad’s mansion once he’s calmed down enough to use his magic.

 

‘Yohan doesn’t know the future.’ 

 

Soon, with the Duke of Hyrad gone missing, Yohan will have to go to war.

 

If he can hold out long enough, the temple will develop a calming potion.

 

‘That’s when you awaken as a great wizard.’

 

Of course, I could ease his pain a bit, but considering his overflowing magical power, it seemed like it would be difficult for him to awaken as a wizard before being dragged to the battlefield.

 

‘Just go there and become a war hero.’ 

 

‘I don’t know if we’ll ever meet again, but…..’

 

All this earnestness shown to me will eventually disappear once the calming potion comes out.

 

I thought about Yohan’s future for a moment and was lost in thought.

 

‘In a few years, he’ll be a war hero, ending the war – and as a reward, he’ll marry Mariel Mendes. The problem is that she’s already in love with the crown prince, the male lead.

 

The crown prince suffers because he cannot break the promise the emperor made, and Yohan does not give up on Mariel, whom he fell in love with at first sight.

 

No matter how much Mariel cries and begs him, he refuses to break off the engagement, saying it is his right.

 

He even torments Mariel and the Crown Prince with all sorts of bad things.

 

‘I don’t think he was really interested in Mariel, but I don’t know what happened after that.’

 

As my thoughts wandered to Mariel, the gold thread tied to my feet suddenly caught my eye.

 

At first glance, she seems pretty and kind, but she’s so kind that she feels like a nuisance character.

 

‘Originally, Mariel was a bit indecisive and easily swayed, so she was criticized a lot. Even the venerable and wealthy Medes family fell into crisis.’

 

Well, it’s none of my business. All I have to do is become human somehow.

 

As long as I became a human and I knew the future, I was confident that I would survive in any environment.

 

I suppressed the magical power of Yohan that was surging within my body and strengthened my resolve once again.

 

The only thing I’m worried about is…I don’t know my future.

 

After being given to Tezen, sadly there was no story about me in the original story. I just disappeared.

 

‘I was just Tezen’s pet, so there was no need to write about me…’

 

I wonder what happened to Tezen’s squirrel in the original story.

 

‘I’m doing well for now. I just need to keep going. It’s easy.’

 

All I had to do was survive in this world while working together with Yohan, who had not yet turned into a villain.

 

‘No harm in being careful anyway.’

 

I rolled my eyes and stood there lost in thought, keeping my tail up.

 

‘I wish I had memories of the temple, but since I was possessed after that, my guesses are limited.’ 

 

Anyway, if anyone asks where I came from, it was a temple.

 

Therefore, to know a little more about me, I had to know about the temple.

 

But because of the seal engraved on my chest, I couldn’t escape from the Duke of Hyrad’s house, so I couldn’t even go near the temple.

 

All I can do is stay in Duke Hyrad’s mansion and stay alert.

 

‘I need to keep an eye on Ella, not Tezen.’

 

I was a small beast whose only combat skill was throwing acorns, but who specialized in surveillance.
