Headless Villainess c1

interlude

I was able to escape unexpectedly easily.

Well, if a headless zombie came running while carrying it’s severed head most people would make way. It’s scary isn’t it. I understand.

And thus like how how moses split the red sea I easily escaped from the crowd and am now walking in a deserted back alley.

Hmm, what should I do now.

Even though I’m trying to stay calm, I’m probably still confused from the reality of being reborn. I can’t really decide how I should live from now on. I almost never worried about how I should live in my previous world, but bizarre things keep happening and as expected even I am unable to process it all. I’m still unable to confirm the current situation.

Sadly, this world is not a fantasy world. According to my, or more like the current world’s me, knowledge as well as what I have seen so far, even in this world magic is just a superst.i.tion.

Which means I can’t imagine that a headless human would ever be accepted. It’s probably impossible even for my family. Unfortunately it wasn’t a household overflowing with such family love that they would accept a daughter whose head and body are separated.

And before all that there is a larger problem.

severed head-chan

“Go back, go back to that place! You are my body!”

not really

Severed head-chan is super noisy.

urusai

“What do you mean severed head-chan! Despite being my body how impertinent! Just go back to that place just now already. I need to curse every single one of those sc.u.m back there who laughed at me to death!”

die!

Please stop. Just by appearance I’m already suspicious enough, I don’t want to add such an obvious crime on top of that.

……By the way, does she even know how to curse them? If so, severed head-chan might prove useful for something.

abrakadabra

“No way I would know something like that!”

the curse is a lie

And just like that it became clear that severed head-chan is just doing things randomly without thinking.

idiot

“But since I became like that, I can definitely do it! Fu, fufufufu, I have returned due to my regrets and resentment! If I curse someone with this resentment that has driven away death, that person will die!”

undying resentment

Yes yes, please don’t say things like an elementary school kid, miss sixteen years old. Just listening is depressing. If you are nothing but a head and even that is empty, isn’t there nothing left?

For now it has been established that severed head-chan is only able to be noisy. I think it’s a talent perfect for keeping things lively. Humans, everyone has their strengths.

 and weaknesses

“What’s with those remarks. In the first place what are you. Even though you are my body why don’t you listen to what I say!”

yes master

Even someone as generous and patient as me can’t really deal with this ranting severed head-chan. Since it’s my body now, I have no intention of listening to what severed head-chan says.

INDEPENDENCE

“What did you sayyyyyyyy! What audacity, impertinence! Despite being a body so audacious!”

teehee

hmm.

It seems that even though I can’t speak, severed head-chan can hear my thoughts. Since I can’t hear what severed head-chan is thinking, this feels slightly unfair but since I can’t speak right now it’s a thankful feature.

u r wlc

“Hmph. Head and body. It’s obvious which is superior if you think about it. Since you realised it, listen to what I say!”

neh

Well severed head-chan is the type that says what she is thinking, so I guess it’s not really necessary.

But still severed-head chan, your intelligence is so disappointing it’s unbelievable that you are my head, can’t you do something about it. When I think about having to be with her from now on, my future seems like its coming to an end.

Well, I can throw it away but if I do that I will forever be in a headless condition. A headless life is a bit too inconvenient. If I adjust my neck’s surface, I think I will be able to properly attach it. So getting rid of it now would be premature.

So severed head-chan. Won’t you quietly accompany me for now?

yes master

“Shut up, I just need to curse everyone! Die, die, those that killed me, those that laughed and watched my death, those who arrested me, everyone, everyonne, dieeeeeeeeeeeeeee!”

dieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

With tears building up in her eyes and grinding her teeth, she who has become just a severed head spat out her fury. The lamentation of being killed. The grief of being betrayed. The voice filled with these whirling emotions echoed in this back alley. Listening to such a bitter voice I thought.

Severed head-chan, seriously shut up. If the palace guards come how are you going to take responsibility?

sorry

“What’s with you. Someone like you won’t understand my feelings. Have you been betrayed by everyone around you!? Have you been scorned by the person you loved!? Have you been abandoned by your parents!? Have you been killed unreasonably killed!? If you haven’t shut up!”

yes I have

Yes yes, okay, severed head-chan.

To this severed head-chan who is brandis.h.i.+ng the experience of having died once at the young age of sixteen like she knows all the suffering of life, I have a recommendation.

woohoo

“What is it, body”

fun

Severed head-chan glared at me but since there is no weight behind me, there is no pressure at all.

Let’s play soccer.

Of course, my friend is you.

wheee

“Ha? what’s with you, despite being a body, trying to be friends is disgusting. In the first place from just now–Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!?”

boing

Taamayaa. (T/N I have no idea how to translate this, some kinda phrase you scream at fireworks)

I looked up at the severed head young lady I kicked up high, but unfortunately it didn’t explode. What dirty fireworks, I wanted to try saying that once.

I received the severed head that dropped from a high height with my chest.

So, impressions?

fun

“Aaaaaaaah, what are you doing suddenly”

shh

Still so lively. In that case, one more time~.

wheee

“Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!?”

boing

It gets kicked up rather nicely. Since I’m at it I might as well do some lifting. Even though I’m like this when I was a student I was in girl’s soccer. ……I was an eternal subst.i.tute though.

one~,two~,three~

Ooh, compared to the strange distribution of weight, it surprisingly easy to keep going.

heads are good soccer b.a.l.l.s

“Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii! St, Stoooooooooooop! I’m sorry, I’m sorryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!”

boing

Nono~. It’s very fun so until you drop I will keep going~. Okay, five~, six~, seven~.
