The Villainous Lady Aims to Overthrow the Heroine Chapter 4.2

“My business here is already finished. Now, I will leave the young people alone.”   “......Eh?”   A few moment later, Shana gently removed her hand from Belfreya and bowed to both of them at the same time. She then turned sharply and left the rooftop. The way she moved her leg will surely put those model into shame. It would have the sound effect of [Tattatta]. Belfreya pondered about that as she had been left alone with her fiancé while the rooftop slowly being wrapped by the evening sky.   “My birthday is early than her and Rein-sama is also older by a year; however, she has something like an adult’s charm, isn’t she?”   “There is no way I am answering that kind of question.... Oh well, you can do it.”   The tension that the two of them felt as they watched the door from where Shana had left through began to loosen. Syulein was scratching his head with [gas.h.i.+gas.h.i.+] sound while watching Belfreya who exhaled a little breath, trying to relax herself.   “Hey, the key to the roof top should be off limit for the time being, so how did you come in?”   “After the committee meeting, I went to Rein-sama’s cla.s.sroom and I met with Fior-sama. He suddenly told me, [This is bad, Bell-chan! Syulein had been kidnapped by the last boss. This is the short cut that lead to the event where the fiancée is being saved from the captivity!] And with a very refres.h.i.+ng face, he gave me the key to the rooftop.”   “That b.a.s.t.a.r.d. He completely enjoying this.”   As promised, I was waiting for Bell – chan in the cla.s.sroom properly is what he is probably going to say when I scold his tomorrow. For that time being he seems to be holding Belfreya from interrupting Shana’s story however, for the sake of his enjoyment he surely did not hold back after that.   Since Shana had come with prepared determination, and he also understood Syulein’s feeling; Fior had been trying to hold Belfreya back a little bit due to her hot-bloodedness. Syulein could not help but had a scary premonition that his friend is going to grin gleefully when he heard about this story tomorrow.
  As the time pa.s.sed, Belfreya’s eyes begin to s.h.i.+ft uneasily. She had began to calm down as she took time to calmly a.n.a.lyzed the situation
  “Ano, Rein-sama. That..... Did you really turn Shana-san down?”
  “Wa~ well that is the end result.”
  “I am really, really glad. Well, it might seems strange for me to say this but she is a really wonderful person. She is so wonderful that it might be a waste for her to be my rival.” Whatever words that Belfreya used to protect Shana, she herself knew best what is revolving in her own head. She is the one who was hoping that Syulein will not choose Shana the most. In the end, she was also the one who had been saying discourteous thing to both Shana and Syulein.
  Even though she knew that, she still could not stop talking. A person like her will never be chosen. Even if she work hard to have the same specs as Shana, at the end she is still rejected. Did he select someone who is as equal as her? Will she be able to accept it? Such faint-hearted thought began to appear.
  “Therefore, if Shana-san was rejected, Rein-sama will really--”
  “I’m having no regret.”
  Feeling somewhat impatient, Syulein quickly blocked Belfreya’s word. While looking her surprise face, Syulein quickly walked towards his fiancée, Belfreya could only watch as he came closer; so close that she could easily reach him with her hand.
  “Oi Bell. I want to check something with you. So, listen carefully to what I am going to say.”
  “E~, Ye, Yes!”
  “Even though Bell has been aiming to overthrown the Heroine for seven years already; and keep practicing without ever giving up while at it, is it all because... you did not want me to be taken by the Heroine?
  “He...........”
  As Syulein speak, Belfreya began to listen earnestly when suddenly his word make her stop for a moment. Her face suddenly turn read as if the fire suddenly flare up somewhere. Belfreya’s ears turn red and towards that speechless girl, Syulein begin to feel convinced towards Shana’s meddling.
  Even without any word, he still understand. That expression and att.i.tude is not something that this girl could lie about. He had always watched her who always been looking forward to the day when the Heroine is going to be defeated and all the effort she did to win over her. All the things that she has been doing until now is all for the sake of him.
  “You (omae), what kind of face are you making...”
  Syulein turn his head down as he tried to hide his amusing smile from showing in his face with his hand. From the side, it could be seen that there is a slight reddish-tinged appeared on his ear. 

  -------
  “About the things that you’ve been talking just now.”
  “A, that, a little while ago.”
  “Kiss. That kiss. The one you said in a romantic beach is good.”   Towards that slightly casual words by that boy, Belfreya quickly gave her affirmation. Her heart was currently restless and the heat felt uncomfortable as if on the verge of being short circuit. Despite that, Syulein had decided to finally use the present initiatives to drive their current circ.u.mstance into her.
  “I prefer the other situation more. Are you okay with that?”
  “E~ But that is my delusion for so many years.... but if Rein-sama prefer something else over that.”
  “Okay, then let me say it.”
  With that, Syulein took one step forward; the distance between them now was almost non-existence. Syulein scooped Belfreya golden hair and gently whispered into her slightly redden ear.
  “....on the rooftop after school, with the sunset behind our back. That kind of situation is no good?”
  “After school, at school, on the rooftop, sunset......”
  One by one, Belfreya pondered on the keywords. A lot of time have pa.s.sed as the beautiful sunset sky begin to spread over the rooftop where both of them currently are. As everything begin to dye in red, Belfreya finally understood what Syulein meant to say.
  Belfreya could not avert her eyes from looking at his jade green eyes which filled with his feeling. His fist was slightly shaking, while he strongly continued to grasp his own hand tightly. That orange eyes look puzzled at the scene in front of her before she begin to remember something and her eyes turn into a determination.
  My rival has told him with all her might about her own feeling. Of course, there is obviously the feeling of fear. Even so, I tried to lied and stroked my own heart with all my might.
  Then, she as the rival of the Heroine should not lose. Those who have the courage to overcome their weaknesses and bravely step to the future are heroines.
  “.....Wonderful, it is such a wonderful situation.”
  “Bell?”
  “I, Belfreya Alunst, like Syulein Edward. I really like you. Therefore, from now on and the future, please continue to be with me.”
  As she instantly wiped her tears away, Belfreya began to laugh. She look dazzling like the sun while the warmth illuminates everything around her. While she smile like a flower, Syulein look stunned as he poke that girl’s head.
  “Anona... having come this far, you should have at least let me as a man say that first. Take this...”
  “No, it hurts.”
  Belfreya looked sullen due to that slight ache however smile began to overflow from her; Syulein then bent his body a bit so that his face aligned with Belfreya.
  “At first, I thought that something outrageous had been pushed to me as my fiancée. She keep wielding her strength with all her might, training like an idiot while continued to dream about the Heroine. At that time I thought what the heck is this? Still somehow, I cannot take my eyes of you. To make matter worse, I am jealous of those eyes which does not seems to have me in it. I kept on thinking what I should do so that I will be reflected in your eyes.”
  Syulein gently swept Belfreya forelock before holding her cheek in his hand.
  “......I like you, Bell.”
  The two shadows which were formed by the sunset quietly overlapped.

 

 

----Like this, while holding the overthrown heroine in his chest, that girl will continue to run as there are still many things awaiting her in the future.   ******************
