You've Got The Wrong House, Villain Chapter 16

16

–

Yuri’s pajamas were made of thin, sky-blue material. In addition, it was very revealing compared to the clothes she wore last night. The area around the neck and collarbone was transparent, and it was almost impossible to see the vicinity leading to the bottom.

Above all, whenever she walked, a thin vestige of pajamas would wound around her body, dimming her outline even in the dark. At that moment, Lakis suddenly turned his eyes to the side, feeling guilty.

‘Wait. I’m feeling guilty? What for?’

But soon, he frowned because it was such a gross response. Lakis’ conscience was as hard as a diamond.

So far, he has never felt uncomfortable doing all kinds of cruel things while playing the king of Carnot. And now he feels guilty just by peeking at a woman in her pajamas? Isn’t this why he has nothing to say when the parasite makes fun of him? Lakis clenched his fist.

If she owns the house she has the right to walk around freely. Yuri was now in the kitchen pouring water into a cup. Then she turned back to the direction of her room and reached out towards the living room.

“……”

—Huh? I just felt something strange.

Lakis saw something shiny come out from the tip of her finger.

When he narrowed his eyes to get a closer look, their eyes met.

She seemed surprised.

However, it seemed like her reaction was just simply forgetting the fact that he was there, and it was quite natural. So it was not clear whether she was hiding something or not. So, for now, Lakis pretended to have not seen anything.

After that, a brief and strange conversation ensued.

—Ugh, your way of speaking to the enemy has really changed. I’m getting goosebumps! It’s appalling!

‘Shut up.’

–

After a while, Yuri changed her clothes and came out. She went into the kitchen and diligently prepared breakfast. In fact, she didn’t usually eat breakfast at home.

Even though she eats a full meal, she just makes simple recipes at home and combines them with food that she buys from outside. Yesterday, she only left some bread for Lakis, and realized that it wasn’t really appropriate for an injured person. For that reason, she was going to make a simple soup with cut-up vegetables today.

‘I’m sure that’s enough food for a patient who’s had a lot of time to recover.’

It was a good idea, but if the said patient wasn’t invincible like Lakis, there would have to be a lot more stuff needed to take into consideration. In any case, Yuri started cooking with that common sense removed. She already knew how to cook it because she made it several times before.

There was only one minor problem.

‘It has always been my powers’ role to help with cooking.’

Strangely, coffee tasted better made by hand, but other dishes were the opposite. It will be especially nerve wracking for Yuri to pull out her thread because Lakis was in the living room.

‘Was it like this?’

Yuri held up a barrel of salt and shook it.

Tap!

Once it’s in the boiling pot, shake things lightly.

Hwaak!

The white salt poured down like snow into the pot.

‘Is that too much? I think I should add a little bit more this time.’

Tap!

Splash!

Using a strong force, Yuri unintentionally dropped more salt into the pot than originally planned.

‘…..It’s just for the two of us, so it’ll be fine.’

Yuri rationalized so.

Come to think of it, it was the first time in this life that she cooked for someone to eat. Suddenly, she felt a little strange, but she couldn’t keep thinking about it because the pot began to smell burnt.

***

“…”

Moment laters, in front of Lakis was something unidentifiable.

—Lakis, you’re not going to eat this are you……….? It looks suspicious?

As the parasite in his head said, the food didn’t look edible.

“It’s cabbage chicken soup.”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

—Lies!

The parasite shouted inside his head in disbelief.

Lakis had a similar feeling, but he relaxed his mouth and picked up the spoon on the side of the plate.

—La, Lakis? Wait a second, think again! This may kill you if you eat it!

‘I thought i told you to stop barking at me?’

Lakis chirped at the loud, squeaky, voice in his head.

‘Don’t you know that I won’t die even if I drink poison? Just shut up.’

Then, he boldly put a spoonful of the thick liquid from the bowl into his mouth. He stopped moving. His spine started sweating profusely.

—Ack! It’s full of salt! Besides, it tastes weird! Get it out of here!

The parasite’s complaints were ringing inside of his head.

Because he was a parasite that shared senses with Lakis, he sympathized with it. If it had been someone different from Lakis’ character, they would have thrown the spoon and the plate away in one go.

If he was healthy, he would have devastated his surroundings. However, when he realized that Yuri was staring at him, as if caving in on him, Lakis managed to hold onto his spirit. Taking a glance at Lakis face, Yuri quickly noticed the state of her breakfast.

‘Well, it seems like it doesn’t taste very good. I’ll just go out and buy something.’

Yuri pushed her share of soup to Lakis. The smell was somehow so bad that she knew the dish was a failure.

“Have lots of food Mr. Lakis. Eat well and you’ll get better soon.”

Worried about Lakis’ health, she said that, but in fact, she was also trying to use it to deal with the failed soup.

It was a great deal of trouble doing that to the man in front of her now, but she tried it because of the gentle mannerisms he showed.

—Dump it! Dump it over, Lakis!

The voice rumbled in Lakis’ head.

Lakis didn’t blame it.

Rather than getting better by eating it, the taste was going to make you sick. Of course, there was no reason why Lakis had to force himself to eat the porridge.

He was the notorious king of Carnot, who would never let anyone hurt him. His hands were clenched as if they were going to break the spoon in half at any moment. His cool blue eyes slid from the woman to the plate .

***

—You fool……

A moment later, the parasite, who shared the same senses with Lakis, felt the taste of the terrible soup, and cried bitterly.

—You’re the most evil person I’ve ever known. Sob…

The same was true of Lakis, which had become more pronounced and hung out of luck than before. Lakis began gulping down water to cancel out the soup and wipe out the terrible taste left in his mouth.

Why?

The moment he faced the red eyes staring at him, he couldn’t tell himself to stop and throw away the bad food. Feeling in bad shape, Lakis buried himself furiously in the sofa. His face against the cushion looked even more pale and pitiful.

There was no sign left of the ferocious and cruel king of Carnot, whose name alone made everyone panic. Yuri, which had just come out of the room after preparing to go to work, stopped at the sight of Lakis.

Only

“Mr. Lakis, you look even worse than before. Would you like to take some medicine?”

Yuri brought painkillers and fever reducers to him, not mentioning her own cooking.

Of course, what Lakis needed the most at the moment, was digestive medicine.

“I’m afraid I’ll be late today because I have an appointment …but I’ll be back as soon as I can. Get some rest.”

But he couldn’t say it, and he was left unresponsive and lying on the couch as Yuri went to work.

…But he really needed digestive medicine.

After the door closed, the hands of the feeble-minded Lakis stammered and searched for the medicine box on the table.
