Prologue

I’m not a fast runner.

Nevertheless, I had to force my trembling feet to run. It was the last straw, and it was a futile struggle.

“Argh!”

I tripped over a protruding tree trunk and fell forward.

Please, please!

I scrambled up my upper body and stuttered forward. It was when I grabbed my knee and tried to force myself to stand up.

“Did you fall?”

Suddenly, a calm voice came from behind.

“Why are you running? It’s dangerous.”

It was a chillingly low and mellow voice. I quickly turned around and looked at the main character of the voice.

“……Liel.”

“Of course, I want to see you panting.”

Liel sat down with his knees bent, grabbed my calves and said. There was a subtle pressure in his touch.

He looked around at my knees with a charming smile.

“W, why are you doing this to me? What the hell….”

I asked Liel, trying to comfort my pounding heart. In fact, I knew the reason roughly.

I asked him, knowingly.

I wanted to take some time like this.

As I made eye contact with him, I felt his smooth skin wrapped around my ankle. Surprised by the unfamiliar feeling, I lowered my gaze and looked at my ankle.

Before I knew it, a snake that Liel called was covering my ankle.

A white snake like the color of Liel’s hair.

Perhaps he wanted to assert that the two of them were originally one body, even the gloss flowing on its skin was exactly the same.

Since when? The reason why his hair color changed like this.

Maybe it’s from the moment this crazy guy became evil.

It was unfair.

I’ve been trying to stop him from turning evil for a long time!

If this guy really thought of me as a friend, he shouldn’t have become a villain for me.

You ungrateful fellow.

I couldn’t hold back my resentment and stared at Liel with my eyes raised.

Then Liel laughed with an ecstatic face.

“Don’t look at me like that. It makes me want to really bite you.”

At the same time as Liel’s words were over, the snake with its body stretched out to the limit was caught on my ankle.

A cold sweat ran down my spine.

I was frightened not by the sharp fangs of the snake, but by Liel, who was smiling more faintly than the snake in front of me.

Liel’s golden eyes shone brilliantly against the moonlight.

For a moment, I felt dizzy. I closed my eyes tightly to get my act together.

Liel giggled at my action.

“Let’s go back, Lucy. Your place is not here but my room.”

Why is my place in your room?

I have my own house and my own room.

Of course, no one is waiting there for me anymore.

As the fear greater than death came to my senses, I remembered my late parents and grandmother.

I asked just in case.

“If I follow you……?”

What happens then?

He’s not really gonna lock me up like he did to his sister in the original, is he?

No, why should I worry about being locked up in the first place?

I stopped him from becoming a villain, but why is the arrow coming back to me?

Liel, who tilted his head to the side, answered with a languid smile, as if asking me the obvious thing.

“To be able to see only me, touch only me, and hold only me… … .”

All of a sudden, Liel blurred out the end of his words.

I asked impatiently.

“……w, what’s next……?”

He answered with his chin resting in a relaxed motion.

“I’ll lock you up.”

Oh…

I sighed briefly and covered my face with both hands.

No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t think of a way to get away from this guy.

I found out that I was reincarnated right after I discovered the black snake tattoo on Liel’s ankle.

“Lu, Lucy, you can’t tell anyone about this……? It’s a secret…….”

Liel, who was young at the time, wanted to confide his secret to me, who was his only playmate.

Of course, I was also an ordinary child at this time.

Busy rushing to tell me quickly, glittering at curiosity, without thinking deeply about what the secret would be told by a friend.

I faced Liel’s secret with such a light heart.

Soon Liel pulled up his trouser, and a small snake tattoo was revealed below it.

“What?”

And at that moment, I had to throw up a stupid sound in surprise at the information that was passing through my head quickly.

“Lucy?”

He called me, staring at the snake tattoo without saying a word, as if I had sensed something wrong with Liel’s pink cheeks.

Then at some point, I came to my senses, ignored Liel’s call, and jumped up from the spot and ran home.

Running home, I ran straight into my grandmother’s arms and cried.

My grandmother suddenly seemed embarrassed when I jumped into her arms and burst into tears.

But for a moment, my grandmother immediately asked me why I was crying and comforted me.

I couldn’t even answer my grandmother’s words and just cried.

It was inevitable.

The moment Liel revealed his ankle, I found out that I was reincarnated in an R-19 novel.

In addition, the fact that I may be killed by my childhood friend in the distant future.
