༺ Bad Guy Frey ༻
"Ugh."
Miho stuck out her tongue and tightly shut her eyes as Frey approached.
She had never dated or kissed because villagers considered it sacred. Touching tongues with Frey, whom she detested, felt humiliating.
"Uhh…"
Despite her dislike, Miho had no choice. A contract with Frey bound her. In exchange for giving him life force from her fox beads, she had to absorb energy from the villains brought by Lulu.
All her fox beads went to Frey, and she had to recollect energy accumulated over a decade for it to become whole again.
Surprisingly, this contract favored Miho.
As agreed, Lulu continued bringing villains with glazed looks in their eyes. The energy she absorbed from these individuals had a distinct and superior quality compared to what she got from Morning Dew.
"Because of… just a human…"
Despite her secret satisfaction, Miho couldn't hide her disgust as their tongues were about to touch.
"…Slurp."
'I am a mighty warrior… not a human's plaything…!'
The thought continued until Frey's tongue entered her mouth.
– Gag…!
"Kuhk?"
Suddenly, Frey grabbed her by the neck.
It felt harsh and forceful, like snapping a delicate branch.
"Eek, ugh…"
Miho hit the wall, trying to hold onto Frey's arm.
'What's happening?'
Surprisingly, Frey didn't budge.
Even though she was a fox kin and a skilled warrior, capable of overpowering about nine adult men effortlessly, she was entirely overwhelmed by the frail and thin Frey.
"Cheer up."
"Ke, Kehuk… What?"
"Serving me with that expression is unpleasant."
Her trauma from the slave market, where she had been grabbed by the throat, came back. As fear took over, her expression changed as Frey had instructed, and he increased the pressure on her throat.
"…Now, that's better."
Frey, seemingly pleased with her effort, soon released her throat. He gently lifted her chin and whispered.
"If you frown again, I'll kill you."
"Ha, haha…"
Though not usually scared of human threats, Miho's hair stood on end for some unknown reason. She forced a pale smile and nodded.
'Human… I will kill… you…'
Miho despised Frey for defiling her as she felt the lingering touch of his hand on her throat.
'…Should I bite him?'
For a moment, Miho thought about biting Frey's tongue.
However, with her medical expertise, she knew she couldn't kill him that way. She also understood that Lulu, glaring at her from the side, would quickly restrain her.
Yet, considering the harsh treatment she anticipated from him, that seemed almost preferable.
Lulu had once said, 'Humbly accept any affection or behavior shown by Master Frey.'
As per recent newspaper articles, he had a track record of using coercive methods to turn those he desired into sex slaves.
'No, I don't want to…'
As if to prove it, Frey had forcefully pinned her to the wall with both hands.
– Swish…
And then, inevitably, Frey's tongue entered her mouth.
'This is the worst…'
Miho thought about the pain she would endure, the extent of the harm he might inflict, and if she could face the elders in her hometown.
"Slurp, slurp…"
And so, Miho and Frey's tongue began to intertwine.
"…Uph?"
With tears forming, Miho shivered and slightly tilted her head.
'What is going on?'
It wasn't the rough and repulsive act she anticipated. Instead, it was so tender and kind that it turned out unexpectedly gentle and demure.
– Kkuuk…
However, pressing her against the wall, Frey's hand exerted even more force.
'What, what is this…?'
Miho looked visibly flustered, as she had expected Frey to grope her, but nothing like that happened.
– Slurp…
Frey's tongue continued its gentle and sweet motion.
"Ugh…"
Miho was swept away by Frey's technique as the essence of the fox beads she gathered melted between their tongues and was absorbed by him. She scratched her hand with her nails to break the spell and whispered to herself.
'Why, why does it feel so good…?'
She couldn't deny it. Surprisingly, kissing Frey felt good.
'Why? Why is that?'
– Slurp…
'…..?'
Caught off guard, she noticed her tongue moving involuntarily.
Despite feeling repulsed by his intrusion, she found herself willingly entwining her tongue with his.
'Is it mating season? It shouldn't be that time yet.'
In this unexpected moment, she discovered her tails involuntarily quivering, gently encircling Frey. Her face flushed as she became lost in her thoughts.
'Is it not? Did I miscalculate?'
By now, she even perceived Frey's kiss as sweet.
"Puha…"
After an unusually prolonged session, when Frey withdrew, she felt a momentary sense of yearning.
"Hmm."
However, Frey met her gaze coldly.
"Is this all you've got?"
"Huh?"
"Your life force isn't sufficient."
Saying so, he gently grasped her neck again, whispering coldly.
"If you don't want to die, you must gather energy diligently."
"O-okay…"
"You're just a tool to replenish my life force. If you can't fulfill that role, I must discard you."
"Yes, understood…"
"Good, that's how it should be. Now… Hmm?"
Intimidated by Frey, Miho lowered her tail and was startled when he shifted his gaze to her arm.
"...…."
On her arm, a distinct red handprint from Frey was visible.
"Hmm…"
"Eek!"
Frey pulled her arm toward him, examining the mark quietly. Then, he smirked and whispered in a hushed voice.
"Consider this mark of mine an honor."
"Ugh."
After saying that, with a wicked yet charming smile, Frey pressed her arm to her chest, pushed her against the wall, and left.
"...…."
For a while, silence hung in the air.
– Thump, thump…
Miho's heart raced as Frey held her against the wall.
"…..What, what is this?"
Despite Frey acting and speaking as she had expected, Miho was left stunned into silence as his smile gleamed.
'…What's going on?'
And Frey felt the same way.
'Something has been off for a while…?'
Baffled, he leaned against the window, gazing blankly outside.
He had chosen to be condemned to ease Isolet's worries. He didn't realize it then, but he noticed he was slightly different from usual.
'What in the world is… going on…?'
Emotions and impulses that Frey had never experienced before were continually urging him on.

Early in the morning, a few hours before Frey gazed out the window with a troubled expression.
"Hmm…"
After receiving a healing potion from Roswyn and Ferloche's holy power at the inauguration ceremony, surviving the falling building debris, and having her horns destroyed by Glare, Ruby returned to the hospital.
"....."
It was the hospital room she had occupied a few months ago. Ruby gazed at the familiar ceiling with dark eyes.
"Wow! I am getting discharged today!!"
"…Finally."
Looking at Ferloche, who had risen from the neighboring bed a few hours earlier when she stormed into the Hero Party's tent, Ruby muttered wearily.
"You're finally leaving."
Despite being fatally wounded, Ferloche had been unintentionally hindering Ruby's recovery by showering her with holy power every chance she got.
It wasn't a malicious attack but a "healing act" from the naive and pure Ferloche. Due to this, the "Path of Pretender System" prevented her from retaliating, and naturally, voicing an objection was almost impossible.
In this world, there was no unique case where receiving divine power worsened one's condition—except for the demon race, a detail Ruby couldn't disclose.
"Then, goodbye!"
"Ugh, ugh…"
As a result, wrapped in bandages, Ruby breathed a sigh of relief after Ferloche left the room with a final fervent dose of holy power.
[A notification from the special system has arrived.]
At that moment, an opaque window popped up before her.
[Frey Raon Starlight's scenario has been updated.]
{Hero Inauguration Ceremony} -> {Date}
Ruby's expression soured upon reading the notification.
"A date… What a joke."
She gazed at the ceiling with dissatisfaction for a while, then muttered in a cold voice.
"When did they introduce the concept of a 'Helper'? Was it planned from the day I received the penalty?"
The existence of a 'Helper' was unknown even to the Demon God. Not being aware of such a crucial matter that could alter the course of events for so long shocked her.
Therefore, without considering the possibility of defeat and solely focusing on how to subjugate Frey or break him if he refuses to submit, Ruby felt tense for the first time at the thought that she could lose.
"…But even then, I will win in the end."
However, her arrogance persisted.
And it wasn't baseless arrogance.
Despite numerous overlapping penalties, countless accumulated damages, and the emergence of an unknown Helper, she remained the strongest in the world.
Even lying in bed at this moment without any constraints, she could still potentially set the world ablaze with just a flick of her finger.
"Your date must be with Serena, right…?"
Moreover, she had the soul of Serena, the world's greatest genius, hostage.
Despite Serena's poor performance at the ceremony, she claimed it happened because she forcibly ordered her daytime self, who didn't know about their deal.
Serena said she learned from her mistake and wouldn't repeat it.
However, dealing with the Demon King was challenging, and Ruby felt skeptical about Serena's explanations.
"Well, then…"
That's why Ruby had decided.
"…There's no choice but to ruin your date."
Using this "date" scenario, she planned to punish Serena for daring to mock her and isolate Frey completely.
She couldn't do much herself because she was bedridden. Still, she could use magic to locate Frey, who had been hiding on the outskirts for a week. She would then discreetly leak his location to Vener.
And most importantly…
[Special Ability – Attack Skill List]
– Villainification Lv MAX (100000pt)
Description: Using the system's power, this scenario transforms the target into an evil villain.
She had access to the system's Special Ability.
Activated when the Hero and the Demon King recognized each other's identities and accumulated "special stacks," the special system typically initiated a full-scale war at the beginning of the second school year.
However, the Demon God had secretly unlocked Ruby's system a few days ago, granting her faster access to the 'Special Ability.'
– This is self-defense since they've made their move, so this intervention won't violate the principle of causality.
"Hmm?"
– Ah, also… there's something you should know about the Youngest Paladin…
As per the very tense Demon God, who recently appeared in her dreams and discussed a complicated situation, it was self-defense since the other side had also intervened…
However, Ruby wasn't interested in such complex situations.
Her sole desire was to witness beautiful things destroyed and crumble by her own hands.
And presently, the most beautiful thing in her eyes was Frey.
That's why Ruby yearned to see him shattered, crying, and stained with her color.
Ruby's guiding principle was solely that and nothing more.
[Special Ability – Attack Skill List]
※Note: If the target is too good, there's a limit to how evil they can become, but the chances of that are low.
"Until now, it was all just an act, Frey."
Ruby tossed aside the lengthy precautions and warnings and murmured with a joyful smile.
"But this time, you're going to commit a truly evil act."
She imagined him crossing a line and doing something genuinely evil, unlike his usual self, leaving him devastated and hopeless.
[Purchase Complete]
"…I'm excited to see how you'll react when you're under me, crying."
Ruby used a lot of points to debuff Frey, and she smiled happily, imagining how she would deal with him now that he was all alone and had fallen to the bottom due to her elaborate plan.
"I'll single you out completely… Frey."
Her eyes gleamed like rubies.
.

.

A few hours later.
"How can you wear such clothes as a duchess? Aren't you ashamed?"
"Eek? Huh? What?"
"It seems you can't even stay still. You are indeed disqualified as a fiancé."
Frey looked at Serena coldly.
– Swish, swish…
But his hands were busy fixing the overly fancy clothes she had put on while caught up in the excitement of the date.
"You're hopeless."
Serena blushed upon hearing that.
