I’ll Become a Villainess That Will Go Down in History

A strong wind blew just as Uncle Will said that line, and I couldn’t help but squint.

 

“Uncle Will,” I said, and by the time I opened my eyes he was not there.

 

He was right in front of me a moment ago, and then he was gone.
At that moment, I realized that he was a hallucination.

 

That’s right… He was so real, but this was only Kushana’s training ground.

 

I wondered if I had successfully defeated the enemy.

 

“I wouldn’t say I beat him, right?”

 

I chuckled as I muttered that.

 

Surely, I was no match for Uncle Will.
No one could match the height of that person.

 

If it were against Uncle Will, I would gladly admit defeat.

 

That was when I thought so.
I felt a tingle in my left eye, which should not be there.

 

…I know this sounds like a chuuni situation, but I really felt a discomfort in my left eye.

 

“What is this?”

 

I held my left eye with one hand while enduring the slight pain for a while.

 

…Uncle Will is dying? Was that really the end? 

 

I gently removed my hand from my left eye.
I could clearly see the view to my left.
For the first time in a long time, I could see clearly.

 

“Uncle Will, he’s gone…”

 

The moment I realized this, I burst into tears as I crouched in the flower garden.
I sobbed, and my cries were the only sound in the place.
I could not stop the tears from overflowing.

 

Uncle Will, Uncle Will, Uncle Will….

 

I whispered the name of the man I loved so much over and over in my heart.

 

I had never thought that he would leave this world.
I thought we would be together forever.

 

I felt like my heart was being torn to shreds.
This was the first time I had lost someone I cared about since I came here.

 

Maybe somewhere along the way I had been overconfident, I thought.
I was certain that I could save anyone.

 

I would never be able to feel Uncle Will’s kindness again.
I would never again feel his big, craggy hands patting my head, or his gentle voice calling my name, and I would never again have a place where I could run to for advice if something happened to me.

 

For me, Uncle Will was the one place where I belonged.

 

It was the only place where I could ask for help without thinking, even though I have always been a bad girl.

 

I held my chest with one hand.
How could I get rid of this pain in my chest?

 

I had no choice but to accept this pain, which no magic could do anything about.

 

I was so frustrated that I couldn’t be with Uncle Will right now.
I wanted to hug him for the last time.
I couldn’t thank Uncle Will enough for everything he had done for me.

 

It was unfair that he passed away without being able to express even a single word of gratitude to him… I also had more things I wanted to say to him.

 

I felt the faint magic of Uncle Will in my left eye.
I had never felt such a gentle and warm magic power.

 

I had never thought that Uncle Will, who did not appear in the Otome Game, would be the most important person in this world to me.

 

I would never forget Will Seeker for the rest of my life.

 

“Ah, I’m so glad I met him.”

 

I looked up and uttered a shaky voice.
Wiping away the tears that flowed unceasingly, I stared at the sky.

 

Thank you for giving me so much love.
