Not a Villainess but a Maid

#058 Trouble in the Forest (2)

An expression of eagerness and shame appeared on Diamond’s face as she trembled while holding my hand.

I could clearly see the shame of urinating while holding someone’s hand and the urge to expel the accumulated fluid right away.

She begged me with an expression that almost made her cry.

“I’m sorry. “I can’t do it anymore…”

“Ah, I understand…!”

When she felt her limit and tried to let go of her hand, I held Dia’s hand tightly and stood up carefully.

I felt cautious even as I walked toward the grass, in case something leaked.

She always looked calm and perfect, but I never thought she would show this side…

Dia sat down in the grass with her face flushed red and asked me in a hushed voice.

“Hey… Amber?”

“Yes? “Why are you doing this?”

“Look somewhere else for a moment… “Can you give it back to me?”

Realizing that my gaze was fixed directly on the front as she spoke, I hurriedly turned her head.

“Yes…!”

“···.”

I don’t know what she was thinking during those few seconds of silence.

After her, I heard the sound of Dia taking a deep breath and lifting the hem of her dress with one hand.

-Smurf.

Maybe because my eyes were closed, I could hear the sound of the cloth rubbing more vividly.

And then, another rustling sound was heard.

If there is a hem that needs to be removed other than one piece, it is definitely…

‘No harsh thoughts…!’

She shook her head vigorously to shake off the strange thoughts.

“···.”

There was no longer the sound of clothes rubbing against each other. It seemed like she was fully prepared.

-Kwaak.

For some reason, a strong grip came from her hands, and Diamond, who had been holding her breath, let out a sigh.

“···Ah-“

The sound of water droplets hitting dry leaves was heard, and a tremor was felt from her hands.

“Ugh…”

Diamond, who was moaning and letting out a soft sound without realizing it, seemed to have covered her mouth with her free hand to silence her.

The sound of ‘squeak’ rang out quietly.

The more I did this, the stronger her grip on my hand became.

Before she knew it, she was clasping her fingers between mine and hers, shaking as if she was relying on me.

Thanks to her, the trembling was so blatantly transmitted through her hands that she tried her best to pretend not to care, causing even me to hold her breath.

“Huh…”

Even though I covered her mouth with my hand, I could hear a slight sound coming out.

As I had been patient for so long, it seemed like it was taking quite some time.

“···.”

Suddenly, no sound could be heard.

I could hear her quiet breathing mixed with shame, and before I knew it, the sound of water had ended.

Dia squirmed, still holding her breath, and quietly stood up after cleaning up after herself.

“···Uh, are you finished?”

As I said that and turned around, Dia hurriedly pushed me back.

“You can’t look there…!”

“Oh, sorry…!”

When she shouted, she turned her face again, as if she didn’t want to show where she was sitting.

I can assure you, it was the most shameful time in her life.

***

I sat down again on the stump I was originally sitting on and turned my head to take a quick look at Diamond’s face.

“···Sniff.”

Her face was almost as red as a tomato, and tears were welling up at the corners of her eyes.

I spoke to her as brightly as possible to comfort her.

“It’s okay. “Her eyes were closed so I couldn’t see anything.”

“···What about the sound?”

Dia asked me with her tears and sparkling eyes.

“Did you hear everything?”

“···.”

When I couldn’t deny it, she lowered her head and buried her face in her knees.

“Now the in-laws are done… What should I do, really…”

Dia asked, lifting her face and sniffling several times.

“···Perhaps you felt dirty…”

I shook my head vigorously and denied her words.

“It’s dirty!? “It can’t be.”

“But I did that in front of Amber…”

I wrapped my arms around her shoulders to reassure her.

“Dia, it was also force majeure. Besides, I actually feel more familiar like this now.”

At those words, Dia opened her eyes and asked.

“Yes…? Friendly…?”

“You always looked perfect in front of me. “I would say it was nice to feel humanity through this incident…”

“···.”

She looked at me and made a subtle expression, then burst into laughter.

“···Phew.”

She smiles again, wiping away her tears with her fingers.

“What is it…? “So you’ve been thinking that I’m an alien or something?”

Thanks to this, I felt fortunate that the atmosphere was slightly relaxed.

“That’s just misunderstanding. “You are always calm, and your appearance and grades are flawless.”

I’ve never even seen DIA go to the bathroom.

She said at first she thought she was really an angel or she was an alien.

Dia listened quietly to me, then smiled and shook her head.

“Unfortunately, I am not the perfect person you think Amber is. “I panic and worry several times a day.”

“···Really? “Is that the case with Diamond too?”

She had seen her emotionally shaken more than a handful of times, but that’s what Dia said.

“Yes. “Even now, I’m very nervous.”

As if to prove what she said, Dia took my hand that was holding my hand and placed it on her left breast.

Thanks to this, a soft touch unintentionally came between her fingers, and her face lit up.

“What do you think? Aren’t you running really fast?”

Despite her gentle expression, DIA’s heartbeat was pounding fast.

-Thump, thump.

“It’s true…”

She slowly leaned her body towards me and asked.

“Then, do you know why it runs so fast?”

“Yes…?”

“Take a guess. Amber.”

Let’s see. I guess it was because something embarrassing happened just now.

As I was thinking that, Dia shook her head and denied it.

“For your information, this has nothing to do with what just happened.”

“Umm…”

Then is it because it’s hot? Do you have any arrhythmia?

“I’ll give you a hint.”

While various guesses were going back and forth in her head, she came out from behind her and caught her gaze.

“···!”

Dia’s heartbeat gets faster the more you make eye contact.

She had felt it once before, but looking into her eyes was dangerous.

I feel like emotions I don’t even know are being pulled from somewhere deep inside my heart.

I couldn’t take my eyes off the blue eyes that made the viewer want to hold him in my arms.

Before she knew it, Dia Osteon placed her hand close to her own chest and whispered meaningfully.

“I mean, I… You···.”

What is the girl in front of me trying to say now?

She was paying her full attention to every word that came out of her mouth.

“What are you doing there, you two?”

“···!”

We fell away from each other in shock when we heard Ruby’s cold voice coming from behind.

When we met Ruby again after two hours, she looked at us with her puzzled eyes and asked.

“Haa… I thought you lost it. “Good thing she came back the way she came.”

Dia and I looked at each other awkwardly, then she cleared her throat and laughed.

“Ah, ahahahaha…”

Ruby looked at the two of us in turn, then opened her eyes softly.

“What? “What happened while I was gone?”

“No!”

“No, Ruby!”

When we answered like that at the same time, Ruby became even more suspicious.

“···Something seems suspicious. Hmm.”

She kept glaring at me and couldn’t take her eyes off me.

···Why are you like this? Are you trying to scold me for disappearing earlier?

While I was thinking that, Ruby hugged me.

“···Thank goodness. “Find it again.”

She held me in her arms with a very worried look on her face.

I felt her soft hand stroking my head, and I could tell how much she cared for me.

“Lady…”

Now that I think about it, the strange air in the forest that I had felt until now has noticeably cleared up.

Dia seemed to have noticed this as well, as she quietly let go of my hand and said,

“It looks like the forest has returned to normal. “There are all kinds of amazing things…”

Now, even if I let go, there is no need for someone to disappear.

What just happened feels like a dream.

“Let’s go back slowly. “Before the forest becomes strange again.”

After nodding her head as if agreeing with Diamond’s opinion, I asked Ruby with a puzzled look on her face.

“Oh, what about coral?”

“Coral? “If it’s coral, it’s over there.”

The grassy area Ruby pointed to rustled, and Coral’s voice was heard.

“Ruby, there is a strange trace here!”

“Why? “What is there?”

“It looks like animal urine stains. “I guess the wild animals that live in the forest are like this.”

The grass she was currently looking at was the location where Dia and I had been doing secret work just a moment ago.

“···Ah.”

Looking to the side, Dia’s body was visibly shaking and her face turned red in an instant.

After finishing the search, Coral came towards us and smiled brightly when she saw Diamond and I’s faces.

“Everyone was here! Thank god. “I’ve been looking for it for a while…”

“···Uh, yes.”

“It looks like the sun will be setting soon, so let’s go back now. “When I get home, I’ll make you lots of delicious food.”

“Thank you, Coral…”

While returning home that day, Dia was quiet without saying a word.
