The Villainesses in the Romance Fantasy Novel Became Obsessed with me

I had my first meeting with my younger sister, Remy.

Yuri and I returned to the academy.

As a student, I had to enjoy my life among the villainesses once again.

I mainly focused on the transformation of Nadia and Bluebell.

Yuri…

“Training again today?”

“Yes… I plan to train again in the remaining time today…! I need to become much stronger to give a present to Damian…!”

She started to immerse herself in training after returning from the territory.

I don’t know why she was acting like that.

But it was no different from studying to get good grades.

There was no reason or justification to stop Yuri’s training.

‘In fact, it’s even better if she trains.’

A healthy mind resides in a healthy body.

Isn’t there such a saying?

Anyway.

Until the incident from the original novel occurred.

I had to continue the transformation of the villainesses as usual.

By visiting Nadia’s studio every other day.

“Damian.”

Nadia asked in a cold tone, her eyes fixed on the canvas.

“You weren’t in the dormitory yesterday. Where did you go?”

Did she check on that herself?

Since I had nothing to be guilty of, I confidently answered in response to the murderous aura.

“I went to the territory for a bit. I had some business there.”

“Hmm. Is that so? Leaving me at the academy? You’re saying you went to meet your family. I don’t even have a family to meet.”

“… I didn’t abandon you.”

“…”

Nadia didn’t respond to my words.

She just had the desire to think I abandoned her on her own accord.

She showed more signs of having things her way.

After a brief silence, she forcefully dabbed paint onto the canvas.

Splat-!

“Not great.”

“Did you make a mistake?”

“No. My mood is just bad. How could I make a mistake in my painting? Anyway, Damian.”

Swish!

Nadia stopped painting and got up from her seat.

She walked slowly towards me and sat on the desk instead of the chair.

Pouring water elegantly into a teacup, she began to speak.

“Did you go to the territory alone?”

So this was her goal.

The air was filled with pressure.

I answered truthfully.

“No, I went with Yuri.”

“Yuri? That gloomy woman I saw before?”

“… She looks gloomy on the outside, but her personality isn’t that gloomy.”

“You’re not denying it.”

“…”

To be honest, she was a bit gloomy.

At least in appearance.

But she was a pure girl inside.

Nadia handed me a teacup filled with water.

“So, you’re saying you left me and went out with another woman. How brave.”

Each word was laced with a faint murderous intent.

I didn’t want to die yet.

To preserve my life, I tried to make as many excuses as possible.

“… It wasn’t for fun. It was something important.”

“Something important? What was it?”

Nadia persistently probed into what happened at the territory, as if she wanted to know everything about it.

‘How much should I tell her? She might use my younger sister to threaten me.’

But it was already information known by those who need to know.

It would be better not to hide it.

I calmly drank the water from the teacup.

“My younger sister was born.”

“Your younger sister?”

“Yes. My mother had a late second pregnancy. So I went to the family to see my sister’s face.”

“I see. You have a new sister. Should I congratulate you in times like this? Well, congratulations Damian.”

Nadia congratulated me with a blank expression.

I simply nodded my head in gratitude.

Despite that, Nadia’s murderous aura still lingered in the air.

“A sister is a sister. A woman is a woman. You’ve gained a new family member, so I’ll let it slide today. But there won’t be a next time.”

Nadia raised her finger to her head, making an intimidating remark.

“I want my things to remain untouched. There’s not much time left in our promised period. It shouldn’t get damaged, right? So, take care of yourself, Damian. I won’t forgive anyone who messes with my things.”

She created a pressuring atmosphere and subtly released a murderous aura.

She was trying to control my actions.

‘She keeps trying to take the initiative…’

Nadia’s obsession was getting worse, and she was slipping out of my control.

We both had leashes, but she was pulling mine harder and harder.

As if trying to suffocate me.

‘This won’t work for transformation. To treat Nadia, I need to hold her leash tighter.’

What actions should I take for this?

‘I have no choice but to be stronger. To not lose the initiative.’

The answer was clear.

‘If she comes on strong, I must come on stronger. To resolve an incident, create a bigger incident.’

First.

I must not succumb to Nadia’s threats.

Though I’d been passive so far.

I decided to take a strong stance to change the atmosphere drastically.

“I’ll be leaving first today.”

“What?”

I quietly moved Nadia’s hand aside and stood up.

I couldn’t let her continue to threaten me.

I couldn’t let her use threats involving those around me.

For her transformation, I needed to have the upper hand.

“I won’t be able to come to the studio for about a week.”

“Are you joking with me, Damian? Sit down. We haven’t talked much yet.”

Ignoring her, I walked towards the door.

“… I’m leaving.”

Bang!

I closed the studio door and immediately left the place.

At that moment, I heard the sound of things breaking and shattering from inside the well-soundproofed studio.

Despite that, I closed my eyes and maintained my composure as I left the art department building.

I must not look back.

‘It’s better to take some time away from Nadia.’

I had to steel my mind no matter what.

For her transformation.

For the lives of my family and myself.

***

Charlotte.

She always took the same liberal arts classes as me and sat next to me.

To seduce me and take me to the Orsia Kingdom.

Recently, her actions had become more blatant.

“Damian, look at this passage. What do you think?”

Swoosh!

Charlotte showed me the book and leaned on my shoulder.

Pretending it wasn’t intentional, she closed the distance between us.

A sweet scent wafted towards my nose.

“If you look here, it says that nobles should protect the citizens of their territory.”

“Yes. I see it.”

“It’s true. But aren’t there quite a few nobles who don’t keep this word? The nobles I met at the banquet all seemed to care only about themselves.”

A subtly profound topic.

Contrary to her frivolous movements.

Charlotte pretended to look at the book with me and intentionally pressed her chest against me.

It lightly touched my arm, making me quite uncomfortable.

With a few buttons of her shirt undone, it was hard to figure out where to look.

‘Why’s she acting like this?’

She didn’t used to be this blatant.

When did she start behaving like this?

‘Was it after she missed that one class? What’s going on?’

Charlotte appeared to be feeling anxious. She clung to me more urgently than before and tried hard to seduce me.

She kept trying to stimulate my male instincts and cloud my rationality.

But, I didn’t fall for such blatant actions.

‘A man must remain calm.’

The moment I gave in, the chances of transformation would disappear.

If I made a wrong move, the villainesses would go wild, and the world would collapse.

I took a deep breath to maintain my composure and answered Charlotte’s question.

“There aren’t many nobles who think about the citizens. It’s true that many nobles only care about their own safety. But there are also nobles who work hard for the citizens.”

“Is that so?”

Charlotte was visibly flustered. She didn’t expect this response.

I took advantage of this momentum and continued speaking.

“You said the nobles you met at the banquet only cared about themselves, right?”

“Yes. That’s what I said…”

“That’s probably because the nobles who are actually working don’t attend banquets. They only participate in very large banquets.”

“… I see. Thanks for the kind explanation, Damian.”

Though Charlotte said it was a kind explanation, her expression was sour.

She was clearly displeased that things weren’t going her way.

I innocently asked her, pretending to be concerned.

“Is something wrong? Are you feeling sick? Why the face?”

Only then did Charlotte realize what expression she was making.

She quickly changed her sour expression to a smiling one.

“Oh no. It’s nothing. I was just thinking deeply about your explanation. I hope you don’t misunderstand. I was just pondering for a moment. Got it?”

“Well, that happens. I understand.”

“Good…”

Charlotte sighed deeply, seemingly relieved by my response.

She was definitely feeling a lot of urgency.

‘I need to find out how to help her.’

If this continued, Charlotte might be too pressured to have a normal academy life.

It might be better to ease her mind a bit.

‘Should I pretend to fall for the temptation, or should I keep up with this game of push and pull?’

It was ambiguous.

I needed to observe the situation a bit more before deciding.

I still lacked information.

And a new incident was approaching that would leave me out of the current predicament.

‘She probably didn’t like seeing us so close today.’

A familiar cold voice suddenly echoed beside me.

“I’ll sit here next to you.”

Thud!

Without even asking for permission, Nadia sat next to me.

She usually watched me from the back row during lectures.

However, today, Nadia was sitting next to me. She was staring not at me, but at Charlotte beyond me.

With a sharp gaze.

“Princess Charlotte of Orsia.”

Nadia’s threatening words were directed at Charlotte. She had a blank expression as she spoke.

Maybe it was because I had ignored her and left last time.

She seemed to be in a very bad mood.

“A princess must have many things. Why try to take something that belongs to someone else? Didn’t you see Damian entering the studio with me last time? It would be better for you to stay out of this.”

“What?”

Nadia’s words touched Charlotte’s nerve.

Charlotte gave a sarcastic laugh.

“Ha. Painting must have made you lose your mind. To call yourself an artist, have you been taking drugs?”

“… Don’t compare my paintings to those of a drug addict.”

“Don’t speak recklessly about me. What do you know to even open your mouth?”

“…”

The atmosphere in the classroom became icy.

The two glared at each other and exchanged harsh words.

As if they were about to fight at any moment.

‘This is beyond my control.’

I was sure.

The two people staring at each other now.

Nadia and Charlotte…

‘They have exceeded my control.’

They were like unleashed guard dogs.

Watching them, I hid my smile behind my hand, feeling satisfied.

‘An incident must be resolved with another incident.’

Therefore, I thought now was the perfect time.

An ideal situation to put a stronger leash on Nadia.

You must replace a weak leash with a stronger one for a stronger dog.

The situation unfolding before me was somewhat what I had intended.

‘I’m sorry to use Charlotte, but this will lessen my guilt. This is the best method.’

There was one drawback. It would be difficult to control her once the leash was off.

But the potential results were greater.

‘Even if I get bitten by an unleashed villainess, as long as they’re transformed, it’s fine.’

After seeing my sister Remy, my thoughts about the villainesses gained more clarity.

No matter what, I had to transform them.

For our mutual happiness.

For the happy future of the villainesses.

They deserved to be happy.

Nadia and Charlotte, like unleashed guard dogs, were glaring at each other fiercely.

“Don’t covet what’s not yours, princess. Stop flirting with Damian unnecessarily.”

“What did I do? I did nothing. Don’t pick a fight without reason. You don’t even know anything.”

“…”

I decided to silently watch their fight for now.

Caught in the middle of their conflict.

I was playing the role of a kind of barrier.
