The Main Character's Body was Taken by the Villainess.

Chapter 8



"I apologize. My lady has a prior engagement with me."

Belver tried to calm his pounding heart that was racing with anxiety.

It was truly a hair-raising crisis that wasn't easy to handle.

He had been thinking too much from the protagonist's perspective in the knight department, so he hadn't considered that Roho would naturally be in the magic department.

As Roho's gaze focused on him, he couldn't stop his head from spinning.

Then, a large shadow covered him.

Thankfully, Bellatrix had stepped in front to block for him.

"It really will just take a moment. Can't you spare some time?"

"Our lady has been looking forward to this very much."

"I'm asking Bellatrix."

Bellatrix stood guard in front of Belver, confronting Roho.

Seeing Belver's excessively timid behavior, it seemed they shouldn't let them meet right now.

She also judged it would be better not to meet.

Despite her seemingly naive smiling attitude, Roho was cold-hearted and quick-witted.

The reason she disliked Roho was because of that two-faced attitude where her outside and inside were completely different.

Bellatrix hoped Belver wouldn't try to answer Roho's words unnecessarily.

Though she didn't know why Roho rarely showed a bit of her true self, it seemed nothing good would come of it for either of them right now.

Though she hadn't said it, if it had been the real her, she would have immediately ignored Roho and left when she tried to talk.

"I'm sorry. I have a prior engagement."

"...I see. Alright. Let's talk later. There's the tea time coming up soon anyway."

Belver answered while trying his best to act indifferent.

He was anxious about whether his voice had trembled while speaking.

The Bellatrix he knew would never let her voice tremble, and the Bellatrix that Roho knew would be the same.

He was worried whether he had spoken well.

However, though Roho's reaction was a bit delayed, she left smoothly.

She had clearly seemed like she wanted to probe various things.

Belver tilted his head at the incomprehensible situation while simultaneously collapsing into a chair as the tension drained away.

"Hah... I thought we were in big trouble..."

"Right? Why is she suddenly acting like this?"

"Still, what a relief. I didn't do anything wrong, did I...?"

Belver was still internally anxious.

Though he knew about Roho and Bellatrix's relationship, he didn't know the detailed contents.

He had tried to imitate but wasn't sure if he had done it right.

"You did pretty well. Though your initial response was wrong."

"What? Which part?"

"First of all, I ignore her even when she tries to talk to me. There's no way you could have known that, so it's my fault. Who would have thought we'd meet her in such a basic lecture."

Bellatrix let out a deep sigh.

She had gotten tense along with Belver, who was unnecessarily nervous.

She pushed back her sweat-dampened bangs while checking his condition.

As soon as she saw his condition, questions other than about Roho's sudden action arose.

Why was Belver making such an about-to-burst face in the classroom where they hadn't done anything and no one else was around?

He looked like a perfectly ripened seasonal fruit.

"Indecent..."

"What?"

This time, she really didn't understand.

There were things about Belver that she didn't understand, but those were all simply things that didn't make common sense.

But now she couldn't tell which element was indecent.

Therefore, she saw it as something good to dig into, and her eyes lit up.

What exactly did he see as indecent?

There was nothing to call indecent except her.

"What exactly is our commoner seeing as indecent? Won't you tell me?"

"No... I can't... It was a slip of the tongue..."

Belver quickly turned his gaze away from Bellatrix, who was smirking again.

Why did that ordinary appearance look so indecent?

He didn't even properly know why he had said it.

He wondered if it was because it was his first time seeing her sweep back her bangs like that.

She had simply pushed them back, but it made her look completely different.

Combined with her arrogant atmosphere and the previous situation, he thought she looked just a little cool.

Clearly, when Belver was in that body, he looked innocent and cute rather than cool.

Though he was definitely a manly man, to think he found himself looking cool.

Moreover, the one inside was Bellatrix, who had lived as a woman her whole life.

Belver slightly turned his gaze back to Bellatrix again.

As soon as their eyes met, she smiled again.

He felt his face heating up and quickly turned his head away.

Until now, he had only felt his face heating up and feeling embarrassed when being sexually harassed.

Then that meant he was being sexually harassed by Bellatrix right now.

'Is that right...? It must be...!'

It must be right since that had been the case every time.

Belver decided to remember it well in his mind, thinking it must be some form of sexual harassment he didn't know about.

How could she know forms of harassment that he didn't even know about?

Even in this situation, he felt a little angry at her for doing so.

Thinking of it as sexual harassment gave him a bit of confidence.

He wasn't wrong.

He had only reacted naturally.

"This is sexual harassment...!"

"Is that so? Then I'm sorry. Let's head out now too."

"Yes..."

Belver felt an inexplicable sense of defeat at Bellatrix's readily apologizing behavior.

His mood drooped because he couldn't even identify the nature of this defeat.

Did he really not know the true nature of this defeat?

He decided to bury the truth along with his burning cheeks forever.

"Oh, right. There's a tea party in about a month, so keep that in mind."

"What's a tea party?"

"A social gathering for the daughters of Tower Masters."

"What?! Can't I not go?!"

"Of course it's mandatory. You think I've been going because I wanted to all this time? I'll teach you well over the next month, so don't cause any trouble."

"Like that's easy?!"

Belver looked at Bellatrix with resentful eyes for suddenly dropping this strategic weapon on his head.

He knew there was no choice since it was mandatory.

The problem was that reason and feelings were different.

"Will Lady Roho be there too...?"

"Probably. She's always come, and I can be certain she'll come this time."

"Ah... I'll be sick that day..."

"You have to go even if you're sick."

"I hate you, Lady Bellatrix."

"You have to go even if you hate me."

"I really hate you!"

Hmph! Belver walked ahead, obviously showing that he was sulking.

Even he knew it was an unreasonable tantrum.

He walked ahead to hide his reddening face, embarrassed at having done it.

It was so embarrassing he had to rationalize it to himself.

'I was just clearly stating my opinion. I did nothing wrong.'

It was true.

Expressing opinions is important when communicating with people.

His opinion just happened to be, "I hate you, I hate you! Anyway, I hate you!"

Bellatrix quietly laughed while watching Belver walking ahead.

He looked just like a young girl, as his appearance suggested, and he was getting embarrassed by his own actions.

Look at him walking ahead, maintaining a proper distance to hide his embarrassment.

Though his red ears were completely visible.

It was also clear when he slightly slowed down, probably thinking he had gotten too far ahead.

If you're going to be like that, just walk together.

"Come here, our young lady. Let's go together."

"That's not it?! I'm a man among men! A manly man!"

"I don't know what that is, but it seems the commoner needs a companion to walk with."

"Hey!?"

Bellatrix confirmed once again that Belver was a heavenly maiden and quickened her pace.

Obviously, he wanted to be together but couldn't come because he was awkward about having gone ahead first, so she had to be considerate.

She decided to hold back on teasing for now.

Though it was about time to tease him once, she was curious how fun it would be to save it up and release it all at once.

"What are we doing now?"

"Well. Shall we get dinner?"

"Yes!"

Belver was just happy at the mention of dinner, unaware of Bellatrix's wicked scheme.

It was time to be hungry since they had skipped lunch.

He also wanted to enjoy the fantasy world's food.

After all, they were all things he had only seen in novels and games.

Bellatrix watched Belver contemplating what to eat while grinning.

She wondered where such a pure maiden had popped out from.

It was a once-in-a-lifetime stroke of luck for her.

He had also erased all the elements she had been worrying and suffering over at once.

Plus, the fun of teasing him like a little sister was really the best.

She resolved to continue cherishing him diligently in the future.

Now she could understand Blue's words about how cute her little sister was at every tea time.

He was so cute it was driving her crazy.

Still, since holding back too much on pranks would make her burst, she decided to tease him a little.

"Oh, right. You know what we're doing tomorrow?"

"Tomorrow?"

"Yes. Tomorrow. Did you perhaps forget?"

"No..."

"I'll look forward to it. Wear what's in the corner of the drawer."

Whoosh! Belver's face ripened freshly like seasonal fruit once again.

It was because he knew what was in the corner of the drawer.

He had seen them while dressing alone in the morning.

The black, sexy underwear that could be called mere scraps of cloth.

Now, she was telling Belver to wear that.

Telling him, a manly man, to wear such scraps that even normal women wouldn't wear!

"This is sexual harassment!!"

"..."

"Hic."

Ultimately, Belver couldn't hold back and drew attention in the middle of the street again.

The combo was completed with him hiccuping in surprise after doing it.
