The Villainess Wants To Die
Ch. 5 – Like Antagonist

I seem to be plunging myself into discomfort. Inner Verra.

Walked together under the afternoon sky. Verra toured the mansion accompanied by Celine at her own request. Both are walking around the park. Silent. No one opened up about the conversation between the two.

Verra was ordinary while observing the scenery around him, a place that would be the starting point of being antagonistic. This mansion was the starting point.

Celine turned her face away from Verra. His heart rate had been racing fast since then, as if a danger was sticking to him and ready to hurt him at any moment. Nope. Together with Verra it makes him cramped. Celine is sweating coldly. Occasionally Celine's emerald green bead glanced at Verra who was observing things around her. Fear but also warm. She's Verra but not like Verra. If she was Verra, she would have insulted and pushed Celine. While Verra beside him is just silent, the henchmen do not make any problems. Even saying bad things is not.

"Hey." Call Verra.

"Yes?!" Celine was shocked because she had suddenly been summoned by Verra.

"Can you take me somewhere else? Just looking at the flower was so boring." Verra's bored. Something that spoils the eyes like a beautiful sight is not his taste. Appetite is... Em, I don't know! Zara has no taste!

"Can you tell me about me? Whatever, whatever you're gonna say about me. Maybe a friend, a habit, a hobby, or something." Said Verra who was looking at Celine with a meaningless look. Time to play around for a while. It is true that the original female protagonist in the novel is not a protagonist in general who has a soft and kind personality. Celine is a little bad. A little bad doesn't mean bad, yaaaa.

Celine smiled. "Well, this is going to be a long story. What if we just sit there?" Celine's index finger pointed towards a shady spot near the pool. There was a small round table in the middle of which was a small vase and two chairs facing each other.

Verra nodded in response. Verra just wanted to know if Celine would lie by exaggerating her lies or lying by saying the opposite of the original Verra's attitude in the novel to her. Just curious.

They sat there accompanied by a cup of black tea and some sweet snacks. Verra did not touch the dish that the waiter brought at Celine's behest in front of him. Not that I don't want to, but I don't like sweet food. Zara prefers spicy and salty foods.

"He? Why not eat? You like sweet food." Celine asked because she saw Verra just silently not touching the dish.

"Let's see, I'm not eating anything." Answer the origin of Verra. Verra looked at Celine and said, "Can we start telling her about myself now? I want to remember myself immediately. It feels a little foreign living without memory."

"All right." Celine smiled.

The 17-year-old girl with the emerald green bead started telling stories.

"You are Verra Atkinson, Verra is everyone's favorite in the mansion! Recall that? When we were kids we used to play together. Every time we go and go to school, we always use the same car! Our relationship is also very good. Verra has a habit of listening to music from earphones during class hours. We are class! At school you sometimes fight with Theo. Theo was my friend before he was adopted from the orphanage, and he is still friends. You don't like Alden very much because you think he's a cool-ass guy who likes to spread charm. Oh yeah, Verra also often chatted with Raven's friendly and warm little sister. Oh yeah, Verra also sometimes talks to the grumpy Libra for having the same hobby, reading light novels."

Celine told me with a smile.

Ah, fuckers. A very sickly lie, I wanted to water it with tea. Yes, everything Celine said was a lie.

Correction of the original novel. Ever since Verra and Celine first met each other, the two had never been close at all. Departing home from school is the same car, but not infrequently Verra leaves Celine alone. Obviously, the relationship between the two is not good. Verra in the novel often bullies Celine. Verra does not like music, but prefers to listen to the piano directly instead of sound or video recordings.

Ah, unknowingly Celine since just now was only talking about the male lead. Well that's only natural, because the end of this must be Celine's school life is only filled with male leads. Surely for an antagonist who always does evil to the protagonist, the antagonist will be hated to the bone by the male lead. Verra doesn't like to read books! Reading the novel was Zara's habit when accompanying the sleeping Zayn.

"Then do I have any friends or close friends?" Verra asked after Celine stopped to pause her sentence.

Celine remained silent. From his temple was covered in cold sweat. He did not think that Verra would ask such things.

"Friend? We're best friends, Verra!" Celine replied with a big smile.

Yes friend... Hahaha, his mouth wants me to slap using a chair. Another lie, another lie. Is not not himself living in isekai a lie?

"really? Do I have any other friends? Women, maybe. Since then you've only mentioned men's names." Ask Verra who still wants to test to what extent Celine's lies will continue.

The deg!

Celine doesn't know how to answer. Ah, Verra doesn't have any friends at school.

"Ah.. That, Verra doesn't really like hanging out with girls in class... Because it's... Verra doesn't like those who are spoiled rich kids and dress up all the time..." Answer Celine stammering. Why can't we lie? Because there will definitely be another little lie that is uttered by us to cover up a lie.

Verra smiled as thin as paper to avenge every lie that came out. He will not avenge all that, because the goal is to die and die immediately according to the plot of the original novel. There is no point in fighting them all. Because they are many and have wide connections, whereas he is just an antagonist who has no one to support him, just relying on God's permission to breathe Verra will continue to breathe.

"really?" Verra said as if in doubt as to what Celine said.

"Of course." Celine started again. The pink lips curled into a charming smile, yet it was a fake item.

Celine stood up and walked a few steps to be right in front of Verra. I don't know why Celine did that. Under the orange afternoon sky, near the pool and a gentle breeze blew between the two.

Celine's emerald green bead is directly glued to Verra's beautiful pink bead. For a few seconds they looked at each other. On her own accord, Verra's body reflexively moved because it felt uncomfortable looking at Celine. Indeed, since he was still Zara he could not look someone in the eye for a long time, not because he was afraid that Zara was just a coward who preferred to run away rather than fight.

Verra glanced down. Something was caught by his eyes as he lowered his face downwards. "There's a caterpillar." He spoke involuntarily when he saw a small insect moving slowly near Celine's feet.

"Aah?!!! Where! Where?!!" Celine is obviously afraid of insects. Just reflex Celine walked backwards towards the edge of the pool. Celine stumbles out of nowhere and falls into the pool.

Verra was not too concerned about the sound of the water sound made by Celine as well as Celine's request for help, her gaze still fixed on the caterpillar that was moving slowly down there. His feet moved, then stepped on the caterpillar, twelve times. The reason is because...

"Ver.. please verr!!" Celine said that she could not swim but was in a swimming pool about 1.5 meters deep.

Recalling the events just now showing that Celine was afraid of the little insects, it made her think of Zayn who was also afraid of insects.

Summer, it's time to go back to school after summer break. If other people are on vacation, then Zara is different. Zara spent the day accompanying Zayn, who has been in the hospital for two months. Due to Zayn's request, Zara is forced to push Zayn's wheelchair and the two are in the hospital's garden now.

Zayn who was in a wheelchair asked Zara, "Sister, what is school like?"

Zara is now in 3rd grade of High School, has entered her second semester which is busy with exam preparation. "It's no different than homeschooling. I don't know what a quiet classroom atmosphere feels like, my class is mostly filled with troubled students and is always noisy throughout class hours." Zara answered honestly as long as Zayn didn't ask her something she thought was troublesome.

"Zayn, you know––" When Zara spoke Zayn suddenly just cut her off with a trembling voice of fear. "Sister Zara... There's a caterpillar there..."

Zara followed Zayn's eyes. Zara furrowed her brows at the sight of a small green caterpillar moving 30 cm slowly from Zayn's wheelchair. He then walked forward and then stepped on the caterpillar with his foot, twelve times.

Zayn was relieved after seeing the older sister who had always been there for him had already stepped on his fear. But seeing the leg stomp on the caterpillar many times left him astonished by what Zara was doing. "How many times did you step on that caterpillar? Why does it have to be that much?"

"Twelve times. There's no particular reason, just like a clock that has 12 numbers in it." Answer Zara perfunctorily. For him it is a habit, to be honest he is also afraid of caterpillars.

Zayn looked at Zara with a glittering look of admiration. "Great brother. Brave brother!" Her speech.

Verra walked closer to the pool, maybe a minute Celine was there because she couldn't swim. Verra didn't want to help him. He also could not swim and now does not know what to do.

"CELINE!" Geon who suddenly came out of nowhere. The man immediately ran over and threw himself in to save Celine.

Hearing Geon's shriek, some workers at the mansion came over, there were also Mr. Xendra, Nita, and Zion Atkinson–suami Nita as well as Mr. Xendra's son and CEO of the current ATKINS GROUP.

After a few seconds, Celine was on the edge of the pool with a body soaked and clearly cold.

"Darling, what are you?" Nita approached Celine and immediately gave the towel to her adopted daughter.

"Celine..it's okay, ma.." Celine replied stammering from feeling cold.

Everything was focused on Celine, ignoring Verra's presence who had only seen her since. And, everyone left him alone. They brought in Celine who was cold. As if Verra were an invisible, seeing but invisible ghost. Affection only goes to Celine, while hatred is only for Verra. Is this fair? No, but this is better.

"Hey, are you crazy?" No, it turns out Verra's not alone. There was still Geon who was also drenched to be not far from him. "There are people asking for help in plain sight and you just keep quiet? Where's your brain?" Geon's words sounded like an angry person, but there was also little left, very little tenderness felt.

Verra glanced for a moment, then exhaled his coarse breath. He didn't know if anyone would ask him this. He thought he would continue to be a ghost. "If I go in to save Celine, then it will only add to the burden of trouble. I can't swim, if I force it in, isn't it the same as getting yourself into trouble." Answer the cold Verra.

Geon was silent, as was what Verra said. But after that Geon said, "At least you're looking for help, not just shut up and look. That's not watching, Verra Stevenson!"

Wait up!!! Verra Stevenson? Who else is that?

Verra looked at Geon in confusion for a while, but she had just remembered that Verra Atkinson was not the main family. Only the part family, even if viewed from the family lineage then the relationship of the Verra family and the main family of Atkinson is very far. There is not even a blood relationship. The clan is different too. It's just that after being brought into the Atkinson family, the family also changed.

Stay in a shocked, calm position... Verra tried to arrange her face to keep looking at Geon in confusion. If you suddenly change, it could be a problem. Be an amnesiac girl.

"Of course, forget. Going back to the original topic, couldn't you find some help to help Celine?" Geon chose to shift the conversation and start the conversation on another topic.

"can't. If you ask me why then I'll answer I don't know. When I saw Celine almost drowning, my body and mind did not respond to anything. Everything feels empty. My body was not supportive to help, driven by my mind flying everywhere. Just tell me if I'm a heartless human, then I'll be a heartless human." Verra said at length.

Verra did not understand one thing, why could he speak like this to Geon whose incident was the person written showing his dislike to the original Verra in the novel? It's just... Somehow he felt comfortable, safe near Geon.

"It looks like you've gone crazy, if there's time I'll take you to a psychiatrist." Said Geon with a lazy look and then turned away.

"Hey, your name is Geon Atkinson, right?" Verra's successful question made Geon stop and turn again to look at Verra.

"We met last week and this afternoon, you just forgot about me?"

"I don't even remember my e-mail password."

"Call me brother, I'm older than you."

"Sir Geon? Like those? How old are we?"

"I'm now 23 years old, just climbed one number a few days ago. Now I'm studying IT in the final semester."

"Then after I realized from the coma, why are you wearing a full suit, you're still in college." Verra asked curiously.

"In practice be a good heir." Geon replied that the time happened to be together with his father to meet a client.

"Am I like an antagonist?" Ask Verra again.

"What's? The antagonist? You think it's a novel huh, there's an antagonist?" Geon frowned both his eyebrows confused.

"Have you? Is there something you want to ask again?"

Verra shook her head quickly. "No, you please go may."

Verra sat back where she had been chatting with Celine after Geon left her alone.

The pink bead is beautiful like ruby, but it is also simultaneously beautiful like spring cherry blossoms, it gazes at the orange-colored afternoon sky.

Anyways... Is he an AI or a human?

Verra found out that a pair of black eyes had been watching her since sitting with Celine from a distance. Servant mansion. Just be silent do not blink staring at the two as if watching the movement of the two. Verra doesn't know if it's AI or human, AI is a future technology made very similar to humans. Even now it is developing AI that has feelings. Silly right?

Geon yes... Leave it alone, he will die in time.

Verra doesn't care. About a year from now, Geon will have a terrible accident until his body is not recognized. He died in a fire at a mall building as a result of a tero*is attack.
