Why Are You Becoming a Villain Again?

t easy to break.
Judy must have heard a lot of bad things about my family since she was very young, so her reaction made sense.

 

“Judy, we should just get along with each other.
We are same… the family members should come together, otherwise, who are you going to talk about this sadness with?”

 

“…..”

 

“Whether you like it or not, we have to stick together for two years.
If we fight every day, we will soon get tired.”

 

“…”

 

“Don't you think?”

 

After thinking for a while, Judy nodded slightly.
Fortunately, she seemed to understand what I was trying to say.

 

“It’s not that we need to force ourselves to talk, but at least let’s not hate each other.”

 

Saying that I approached her horse.
The same horse she snatched from me.

 

“Uh!”

 

Judy tried to stop me, but the speed at which I approached the horse was faster.

 

It was definitely a good horse.
I wished I could approach Storm like this.

 

“What’s his name?”

 

“……”

 

When she didn’t answer, I looked into her eyes and asked again.

 

“What is it?”

 

“……Goldie.”

 

She replied with a crawling sound.

 

I tried to hold it in, but without realizing it, I was fed up and laughed out loud.

 

Realizing she had a cute sense of naming, Judy's cheeks turned red in embarrassment too.
Perhaps because she lived in a cold area, her pale skin emphasized her embarrassment even more.

 

I tried to stop laughing, but when I tried to force myself to hold it in, the laughter kept coming out.
I turned around and adjusted Goldie’s stirrup.
It had been bothering me for a while because it was a little longer for Judy's height.

 

“It’s too…hmm…long… I like it to be a little shorter.
It’s like hugging a horse with my legs… You have to be able to ride it.
Hmmm.”

 

As I tried to speak while holding back my laughter, my voice kept trembling.

 

Looking back, I thought I would have to see Judy’s crooked and angry face, so I leaned my head against Goldie until the laughter calmed down.
Then I looked at Judy, barely calming my laughter.

 

“You know?”

 

But contrary to my expectations, Judy was also holding back her laughter.

When I came out of the stable, I went to the restaurant, but before I could reach there, from afar, I saw a familiar silhouette walking toward me; Shoulder length silver hair, a dog-like atmosphere, and dimples that went well with her bright smile.
It was Keirsey.

 

“Oppa!!”

 

When I smiled and waved my hand, she smiled and ran for a long time to fall into my arms.
She entrusted her whole body to me as if melting in my arms.

 

“…Ugh…
Oppa, I missed you…”

 

“Who jumps like that?”

 

Not hearing what she had to say, I first lifted her slightly so that she could stand back to her feet.
Keirsey naturally followed my lead, then turning around to stand by my side, she crossed her arm with mine.
Then we headed to the restaurant.

 

“It feels really good to hang out with Oppa.”

 

“Well, it’s only natural that playing around is fun.”

 

Keirsey looked up at me intently because of my answer.

 

Did I say it too harshly?

 

“Haha… I don’t know.
I guess it’s just because I have the best Oppa…”

 

But, contrary to my worries, Keirsey made a cute reply.
I grinned and playfully flicked Keirsey’s forehead.
Keirsey just smiled and rested her head on my arm.

 

✧ ✧ ✧

 

We sat down in the restaurant and began to talk while waiting for the food.

 

“So, why can’t I see Asena?”

 

“Oh, Unnie joined the student council.”

 

“Student Council?”

 

“Yes.
That’s why I think she will eat together with the people of the student council.”

 

In fact, when one thought about it, no one in the academy had more power than Asena.
Yes, there were some students from strong families but Asena was almost the only one in the academy to be the head of such a family.
So, it made sense for her to join the student council.

 

“So Asena is already busy, huh.”

 

“I know.
I don’t think I could have done it.”

 

“So Keirsey, did you make any friends?”

 

“Oh right!”

 

She cried out and her face bloomed like a flower.

 

“I have a lot of friends! ten people? As Oppa said, everyone was really nice.”

 

“Right?”

 

“Yes, and because they are new friends, there are so many things to talk about.
Everyone has a different personality and I don’t know why but it’s so much fun.”

 

Keirsey seemed to be adjusting well.
I mentally sighed in relief.

 

When we first met and we were young, I wished the twins wouldn’t have a grim, emotionless future, and my wish was coming true right before my eyes.

 

“Today my friends wanted to eat together, but I came out saying that I had to meet Oppa.”

 

“Yes? No, try eating with your friends next time.”

 

I didn’t want to become an obstacle in Keirsey's academy life, which was just starting to work out.

 

“Um… Nah, I hate it.
I just want to eat with you.”

 

Keirsey thought for a moment, then opened her mouth cutely.

 

“Ahhh~~~”

 

Naturally, I used the fork in my hand to feed her.

 

“You can’t eat alone with me for the rest of your life.”

 

I said worriedly.
It was the fastest way to build friendships while eating… Hence there was a drinking culture.
It was not that one couldn't get along just because they were not part of the meal, but it surely was a great way to get to know each other.
I wanted Keirsey to not miss out on such things and have fun.

 

But Kirsey seemed to ignore my words.
She didn’t respond and just hummed.
It felt like I had to say something.

 

“And Keirsey I can’t always eat with you.”

 

“…uh?”

 

Keirsey’s face hardened and the smile disappeared.

 

“Because I also made friends.
You should eat with your friends and I will eat with mine.”

 

“…Friends…?”

 

Keirsey tilted her head and patted her chest.

 

“…Oh, why does my heart feel like this again?”

 

“…Keirsey? Are you sick?”

 

“Oh, no.
It must be because of food… Yeah, but… Oppa is making friends too.
Why didn’t I think of it..?” Keirsey muttered without replying to me.

 

“Are you ignoring me?”

 

I asked her with a smile, but Kiersey's expressions were serious.

 

“…That… how many people?”

 

“Yes?”

 

“How many new friends did you make?”

 

“Well…”

 

Thinking about it, I could not call anyone my new friend; Sir Horslow only trained us as a teacher.
I talked to Judy, but not enough to call her a friend either.

 

It was just a lie made out of the wish for Keirsey to have a meal with her friends, but I didn’t know it would turn out like this.
Then, suddenly, a new friend came to my mind.

 

“…One person.
No, only one.”

 

“Uh?”

 

“Storm.”

 

“Storm… the horse you told me about earlier is the new friend?”

 

“That… Yes.”

 

Keirsey's face, which had hardened, broke out in a fresh smile, and she began to laugh loudly.
I didn’t mind because her laughter was cute, but it was a little loud, as people began to look at us.

 

I leaned over to her and tapped her on the shoulder.

 

“Stop laughing.
Everyone is looking at us strangely.”

 

But Keirsey just lifted her head and hugged me.
In that state, Keirsey did not know how to stop and laughed for a long time.

 

Was it that funny?

 

“Ahahaha…ah… Oppa, really.
Hehehe.”

 

I didn’t quite understand what the situation was.

 

After shaking off the remaining laughter, Keirsey opened her mouth again.

 

“Ahh~~”

 

After laughing at me for so long, she shamelessly demanded I feed her by showing her red tongue and white teeth.

 

I quickly picked up my fork and fed her again.

 

“Oppa, can you introduce me later?”

 

Keirsey asked, chewing the food.

 

“…What…”

 

“Will you introduce me to your new friend?”

 

“Ah…”

 

It reminded me of Storm's unruly appearance.

 

Was it okay?

 

I was worried if Keirsey got too close, Storm would bite her hand or hair.
He might even give a scar on Keirsey's cute face.

 

“Um… I'll think about it.”

 

“Why..!”

 

“He’s a little weird.”

 

“It’s okay.
I mean, we can be friends.”

 

“…..”

 

“Please, Oppa.”

 

Keirsey began to show aegyo.

 

I guess I was really weak on this one.
Keirsey seemed to know too.

 

“Ehh… I see.
If you are free next time, then go to the training ground that you came to see me at and cross it to walk a little more until you reach the stable.
If you don’t see me after class, I’ll be there.”

 

“Got it.”

 

“Though I don’t know if it will be okay.”

 

“Don't worry.
Since Storm is Oppa's friend, I should get along too.
Just like Oppa said, I will try to eat dinner with him.
Does he like carrots?”

 

“…I don't know, but I'll check.”

 

“Thank you, Oppa.
If I make other friends, should I introduce them to you?”

 

A smile came to Keirsey's face as she asked that.
