I’m a Villainess but So Popular

Episode 60

Trans;ator : Missme

When I entered the banquet hall, I realized once again that I was in the novel.

Everything was so shiny that I couldn’t know where to look.

The marble-like battleground, which was usually neat but quite stark, had been turned into a banquet hall with mysterious impressions of fairies jumping out and unicorns running around.

The chandelier, combined with a rainbow-coloured flame lit by the Spirit of Fire and a transparent crystal containing mana, lit the banquet hall brightly, and the dark blue curtain of the Academy, which received the light, added luxury.

Girls burst into laughter under the mistletoe decorated in the corner, and the clothes of the people who were fully dressed up in the field of view, leaving afterimages of various colours.

“Wow, I think this is more than Hogwarts.”

There seemed to be a mysterious fragrance in the air.

It was not an artificial scent from a perfume or something, but a sweet and subtle scent that would be enchanting when inhaled.

All that, everything in this space looked mysterious, and it seemed to sparkle like a star.

“Yerine.”

“…….”

Dazed by the tremendous spectacle, I looked around like a madman. So I didn’t hear Cassius calling me.

“Yerine?”

“Huck, yes.”

Only when Cassius finally waved his hand in front of my eyes did my mind return.

“What’s wrong, are you nervous?”

“Oh, no, that’s…”

As I murmured my words, Cassius looked at me with a slightly worried look.

“Oh, well….”

Casius, who originally had a handsome face but was determined and decorated, was handsome enough to be at the top of countless Ropan (Romance Fantasy) novels.

A neat blue suit with his black hair half over. There, as usual, his eyes shone beautifully in golden colour.

If other people’s beauty was as bright as a star, Cassius’s beauty was certain to be the sun would be blinded by looking directly at it.

‘Crazy. He’s so handsome….’

With the energy of handsomeness flowing out of his body, not only the girls of the Academy, who already knew Cassius but also outsiders glanced at him from the sideways.

“Yes, what’s wrong? Or is there something on my face?”

I want to say, ‘yes, it was buried, your face was buried with good looks’ but I tried to put it under my throat.

“Oh, no. No. I was just staring at the banquet hall because it was so pretty.”

“Oh, I see. But I think Yerine is the prettiest.”

If someone else hit such a line, I would have really wanted to hit him, but unfortunately, the opponent was Cassius.

Feeling red in an instant, I lowered my head and said in a voice as indifferent as possible.

“Don’t play a joke on me too much.”

“But it’s real.”

I chewed my lips as I tried to stop the corners of my mouth from going up.

‘Don’t smile, don’t smile….’

In the meantime, a familiar voice came in.

“Yerine!”

As I looked up, I saw Astra, Rayl, Rachel, and Erica, all dressed up.

It was the same with Cassius, but the moment I saw them, I felt that the world was brightening as if I had found light.

Thank God. I’m glad you gave me a chance to cleanse my eyes who only had the opportunity to see stagnant graduate students in Korea…

“Wow, you guys…… You all are really so cool.”

Rachel burst out laughing at my words.

“No, why are you so lost in your soul? Relax, just relax, Yerine.”

“Oh, I’m trying, but it doesn’t work. But you’re all so cool.”

Then, Rayl and Astra answered together as if they were singing a chorus.

“Thank you.”

“Yes, now there’s someone who recognizes some of our values.”

When I’m smiling at Rayl, who puts a lot of pressure on his shoulders and coughs. A small hand grabbed my collar and shook it slightly.

“Yerine is the coolest.”

As I lowered my head, I faced Erica, who was smiling shyly with her pink hair elegantly turned on.

‘God.’

Cute heroine wore a cute dress with pink lace.

Originally, I should only look at Erica like a crazy person to preserve this image permanently in my eyes.

“Ehm, Erica’s so cute too…!”

As I said so, I turned my head to the side and covered my face with my hands.

“Huh? Yerine, why cover your face?”

“Sorry, Erica. Today is a performance show, so I can’t have a nosebleed…….”

“Huh? Uh-huh.”

Erica looked a little incomprehensible, but she didn’t say much more.

It was just that the expressions of the other three people around us looked very tired as if they had finished their lives.

In the meantime, Cassius was looking at Erica with a glance that he did not like it.

Just then, a familiar voice came from behind.

“Spade.”

Looking back, I saw a silver-haired man wearing a black suit and a cape with silver embroidery.

“Eugene.”

A shallow yet restrained style, and the coolness and sharpness that emerge from it.

That style really suits him perfectly.

And this guy, just like Cassius, was getting people’s attention because he was spouting cold-hearted man’s energy, regardless of his will.

“Let’s get ready.”

“Yes.”

Nodding my head at him, I looked back at Cassius and smiled.

“I’ll be right back.”

“Yes, good luck.”

He also smiled brightly, showing his white teeth. Feeling the warmth rolling all over my body, I greeted Erica and the rest, then walked with Eugene.

“There are so many people like you said.”

“Well, it is.”

After refusing to apply for a partner, there were a few more practices, but Eugene didn’t bring up the topic any more.

So Eugene and I spent a few days as if nothing had happened.

And maybe, today too.

“Let’s do well, so we won’t waste what we’ve been doing.”

I said so and looked at his blue eyes which looked like a wolf.

Eugene smiled at me.

“Of course, that was too obvious”

It was a confident and orphaned voice, confident but not loud.

“I think you’re a bit of a jerk, but I liked that attitude just now.”

“You’re starting a quarrel this early.”

“It wasn’t a quarrel, it was a compliment and encouragement.”

“What are you, you just changing the subject and trying to pick a quarrel, just wait until we finish the performance because I won’t stay still.”

Even if he said so, I knew it was a joke.

He would no longer have been arguing with me, and he would not blame me for my lack of skill and refinement.

Maybe he’s already very sorry about those things.

‘But how did he get interested in me?’

The style, personality, and taste are completely different.

However, even if I looked at the silver-haired hair with such a question, the answer would not come out.

‘Let’s think of a solution after the performance.’

I raised my head thinking so.

It was just then.

The discovery of a towering silver crown from a few steps away.

Even in this world, silver hair was quite rare. Like Eugene’s, hair that was close to grey and had a transparent glow was even rarer. I have never seen anyone with a hair similar to his hair since I possessed this body.

But the silver-backed head, tied with long hair in blue ribbons, looked remarkably like Eugene’s.

Soon a huge silver-haired man slowly looked back. Only then could I properly check his face.

A stubborn-looking dark white eyebrow, tight-lipped lips that seem like it will never open, wrinkled eyebrows. A long torn scar and a cold young eye that glows as blue as Eugene’s.

At a glance, he was a man of great spirit.

Wow, he’s no joke, that guy.

Eugene also had a sharp and cold atmosphere like frozen awls unlike his peers, but the coldness of this person was different.

One eye-to-eye contact with the man-made me feels like piercing my whole body with a sharp spear.

‘This guy, the current Trump…….’

A man who has been raised in a Trump family for three generations has no choice but to show such spirit.

When I was so frozen in that position, the character in question strode toward us. I looked anxiously at Eugene.

But he, too, was no different from me.

No, rather, I was swallowing my saliva when his face turned bluer than mine.

While we were at a loss, the man came right in front of us, then Eugene took a big breath and opened his mouth.

“Father–”

I heard it clearly. The word “father” definitely popped out of Eugene’s mouth.

He must have called him his father.

The man must have seen Eugene.

The eyes, which emit a great deal of cold air, saw the image of Eugene.

Nevertheless, he passed Eugene casually, as if he had seen nothing.

“Huh?”

It was me, not Eugene, who spoke out.

I was shocked by the way he treated his children as invisible.

It wasn’t a mistake.

Obviously, it was on purpose.

Turning aside, Eugene was staring ahead with blank eyes, with his hands in the air where it had nowhere to go.

That was the look on the face when the results of the Academy’s entrance exam were announced.

A blank look, letting go of everything.

So I couldn’t bring up anything for a while.

Because I knew when a person would look like that.

But Eugene Ace was a tougher man than I thought.

“…let’s go.”

Long after, his eyes, which opened in a slightly cracked voice, had fortunately not lost their light.

The blue flames were blazing like they were swallowing around.

“……yes.”

The performance time was getting closer and closer.

The excitement of the people heightened, and their voices grew louder and louder.

And, with that blue flame in my chest, I embraced the hot heat from the tips of my fingers.
