The Main Heroines are Trying to Kill Me

Chapter 300: Whatever Anyone Says, Master Is Still Master

→ Whatever Anyone Says, Master Is Still Master ←

– Lick, lick…

Lulu’s gentle tongue traced the line of my neck, lingering briefly on my cheek, leaving behind a warm sensation.

It’s warm.

It felt like my stiffening face and frozen heart, which were growing colder and colder, were gradually thawing.

Her licking seemed to expel the anxiety and fear that had been overwhelming me.

“More, lick a little more, Lulu.”

“M-Master.”

So, I asked her as I applied a bit more pressure to my hand that was holding her. Lulu, who was beside me holding my hand, began speaking with a trembling voice.

“Are you hurt?”

Was it because it was the first time I directly asked her to lick me, or did she notice something from my pale, lifeless face?

Her gaze trembled wildly.

“…I’m under a curse. It’s not a big deal, just a somewhat tricky curse.”

I didn’t want to unnecessarily worry her, but I felt I had to give her at least some information. Lulu’s eyes widened at my answer.

– Lick, lick…

Suddenly, Lulu began to lick me repeatedly.

“You can’t die… Master…”

She said that while looking at me with teary eyes.

At that moment, her declaration of “If Master dies, I’ll die too” overlapped with her tearful whisper.

“It’s okay. You can weaken the curse.”

“R-Really?”

So, I quickly reassured her, and Lulu’s eyes widened like those of a rabbit as she asked again.

Seeing her adorable reaction, a smile naturally formed on my face.

“Just be my girlfriend, Lulu.”

“…!”

When I said that while petting her head, Lulu looked surprised and started to glanced around nervously.

Fortunately, the classroom was empty, thanks to Lulu’s command.

The one who had tripped over the bag and couldn’t leave the classroom had also left with the bag. And the main heroines, who were strong enough to resist her command, were somehow outside too.

“I-it’s disrespectful.”

Lulu noticed this fact, and she felt even more embarrassed. Not knowing what to do, she stuttered.

“As Master’s pet, how can I become Master’s girlfriend? Such a presumptuous act…

“Please, Lulu.”

But when I quietly leaned my head against her forehead and whispered again, she stopped talking and stared at me with trembling eyes.

“If you really don’t want to do it, at least until the curse is lifted… Just be my girlfriend, not my pet.”

“Th-that’s…”

“I want to keep holding hands with you. I want to stay close to you. I want you to keep licking me, to remind me that someone is by my side.”

“U-uh…”

I earnestly said to her,

“I need you, Lulu.”

Fear began creeping in once again as the pure malice from the students outside poured in through the classroom window.

Irrational fears and feelings of terror, accompanied by murmurs, teasing from the surroundings, and slanders—all intensified by the sensation that someone, somewhere, was watching me.

It was like sprinkling salt on healing wounds, all of my past traumas slowly crawled back.

Because of that, I just wanted to give up everything. I wanted to cry out until my heart felt empty. I didn’t want to think about anything.

Now, I simply wanted to stop and find peace.

“…Grind.”

A bitter, metallic taste filled my mouth as I gritted my teeth forcefully.

– Ssk…

As I imprinted that familiar taste and stayed closely attached to Lulu, I quickly began to dispel strange thoughts.

I couldn’t afford to break down here. I had to keep my composure somehow. To do that, I desperately needed Lulu’s help, who could make me warm.

After all, as a professor, Isolet couldn’t keep sticking with me in the classroom.

Therefore, for the time being, I had to rely on Lulu.

“Please, Lulu…”

Was this how it felt for Lulu to depend on and cling to me? Even if she lived as a pet, I somehow started to fully understand her feelings and her desire to dominate me.

” U-understood… Master.”

In the midst of such thoughts, Lulu, who had been contemplating various things, bowed her head and replied.

“Since you’re my girlfriend now, stop calling me ‘Master’.”

“B-but you are still my Master. I can’t change that.”

“Even if we are not in a master and pet relationship but a romantic one now?”

“Still… I am beneath you. Treating you as if we are in an equal relationship would be disrespectful.”

I spoke as I smiled faintly at her, and Lulu quickly responded, desperately shaking her head.

A couple who depended on each other, it was truly ironic.

“…Then, I’ll call you with a nickname.”

So when I cling to her again, Lulu turns her gaze to the side, her face blushing profusely.

“Lick me, Lulu.”

“…Okay.”

Upon receiving my request, she hesitantly stuck out her tongue.

– Ha, lick…

She began to lick me again, which felt slightly more awkward than before. Yet, for some reason, it gave me a fresh feeling.

“Phew.”

But it felt good either way.

It felt like the fear that had dominated my body just moments ago gradually disappeared.

– Ding dong dang dong~?

When the bell for the class rang, I spoke to her in a hushed tone.

“Tell them to come in now.”

“Ah, yes.”

As a response to my words, her ruby-colored eyes shone brightly. Then she suddenly looked at me and asked.

“But about that curse… who was the bastard who cast it on you?”

I suppressed a slight flinch at the sight of her ruby-colored eyes. I chewed my lips as I responded to her question with a whisper.

“…You don’t need to know.”

[Special Ability – Hero Ver]

As I spoke, I brought up the system window before me, grit my teeth, and muttered under my breath.

I guess I still have some points left, right?

I tried to save points whenever possible.

The reason I hadn’t unlocked the ‘Special Ability’ that cost 300,000 points was to quickly obtain the Hero’s Armament.

[Special Ability – Debuff Shop]

However, this time, I felt like I couldn’t just let it pass.

[Purchase Complete!]

[Purchase Complete!]

It’s time to show her that she should be prepared to take some hits herself if she wants to hit me.

“Hm…”

Time passed, and it was lunchtime at the academy.

“Would you like to have lunch with us?”

“I brought salmon sandwiches that you like, Hero!”

“Hero~!”

Even today, the word ‘Hero’ echoed from the mouths of many students in 1st-year class A.

“Wow, everyone. Thank you so much!”

And at the center of it all, was always Ruby.

Before entering the academy, she was known as another Saintess who engaged in volunteer activities, a pure and cheerful maiden from the countryside.

The fact that she, an orphaned commoner, was chosen as the ‘Hero’ had a tremendous impact on the students, who had regarded the legendary Hero from a thousand years ago as nothing more than a vague legend.

“You’re the best, Hero… You’re so beautiful today, too.”

“If another hero came out of the Starlight family again, it would have been a real disaster.”

“Maybe a hero was originally destined to appear there, but the Sun God became angry and bestowed it upon Ms. Ruby instead?”

“You fool, if that’s so, Lady Aria should be the one who received it.”

In such a situation, the students who were engaging in a conversation praising her, trying their best to be heard by Ruby, eventually began to mention ‘Aria’.

“Come to think of it, Lady Aria is coming to our last class today, right?”

“Why is she here? Is she enrolling as a student?”

“No way, you know how old she is.”

“That brat who was the same age as her was also admitted under special circumstances, right? So it’s not impossible.”

The eyes of the students, who were uncertain at first, began to light up as they recalled an example of Glare, who had not been coming to the academy for a while.

“I heard she’s really pretty. The complete opposite of her older brother…”

“Shh. Never bring him up in front of her.”

“Ah, right. But she is also quite pitiful. The family has become unstable because of her brother, and she’s been through a lot at such a young age.”

“By any chance, their personalities aren’t similar, are they?”

“Oh, come on. I heard she’s kind.”

Following that, there were various heated arguments.

While some students expressed their fears about Frey’s sister’s notoriety, most of those who had eaten sandwiches with her had a positive view of her.

Pfftt, hehe, heh…

However, Ruby, quietly listening to the students’ conversation, seemed different.

I’m already looking forward to it…

Because despite the innocent expression she presented in front of the students, inwardly, she was excited and muttering to herself.

I can’t wait to see the retribution you, and she will face from today onwards.

A slight blush appeared on her cheek as she ate a salmon sandwich.

At the final moment when you guys learn the whole truth, what kind of scream will you let out? What words will you say, and what expression will you make?

With eyes filled with anticipation, she gazed at the expendable tools ready to attack the real Hero alongside her in the final battle. They diligently followed her and firmly believed in her as the ‘Hero’.

I feel like I’m going to go crazy with anticipation for the moment I reveal that I am the Demon King…

“E-e-excuse me… H-Hero…”

“…Hmm?”

As she quietly indulged in pleasant fantasies, someone approached her and struck up a conversation.

“Um, uh… the meal…”

“Pardon?”

Lecane Luna Silvermoon, the noble daughter of the Silvermoon family, a branch of the Moonlight family, stood in front of her hesitantly.

“Oh, uh… that…”

She had bushy night sky-colored hair that covered her eyes.

Combined with the various amulets and crystal ball she had with her, she gave off a rather gloomy aura.

“Sigh.”

When she hesitated with the lunchbox in hand, Ruby’s expression instantly turned cold.

I really dislike her.

Ruby really disliked that girl.

Also, she strongly disliked gloomy and introverted people.

And, except for Frey, she completely loathed anyone with ‘Light Mana’, which gave off quite unpleasant energy to her as a demon.

Lecane satisfied all three conditions.

“Sorry, but all the seats are taken.”

Therefore, without even realizing it, Ruby had spoken in a cold voice.

“It’s a shame, but let’s eat together next time.”

“Ah…”

Unable to speak properly, Lecane could only groan and stand there dazed.

“What are you doing?”

“I-I-I’m sorry…”

Ruby tilted her head at her with a cold expression once again, and muttered in a low voice as she watched Lecane choke up and lower her head to apologize.

“Can you just go away for now… Huh?”

Then, Ruby suddenly came to her senses.

“What did… I say just now?”

After a while, she looked around with a bewildered expression.

“…”

While most nobles and students were still laughing and chatting while having a meal, some commoners looked at her with slightly surprised expressions.

She was sure that they heard her just now.

…This will be troublesome.

Ruby didn’t know why she dropped her mask and acted unconsciously in that way, but she decided to prioritize handling the situation.

I don’t care whatever happens to that girl… Still, I shouldn’t leave even a small seed behind.

Despite her fairly high status, Lecane was naturally alienated due to her distinctive introverted and reserved personality. Furthermore, she was being framed as the puppet of the Moonlight family for centuries.

However, to a large extent, Lecane’s alienation was voluntary.

If alienation were to occur under her initiative, she could also become a target for attacks from Frey’s faction, who had an eye on her.

“Oh, come to think of it, there’s an empty seat…”

Therefore, Ruby urgently tried to change her expression and called out to the girl, who was on the verge of tears. However…

“Hero.”

“…Ah.”

At that moment, someone blocked Ruby’s way.

“By any chance, is there a seat available?”

It was the count’s daughter, Eurelia, who was currently top-ranked in Frey’s task ranking.

“…”

The girl, who had been observing quietly and had never joined their group until now, was now proposing to join the table for the first time.

…Tsk.

The situation was not very good.

If she were to immediately invite Eurelia to sit down, Ruby could create an opportunity to absorb both her and her clique, but the words she said to Lecane might spread as rumors.

However, if she claimed there were no available seats and seated Lecane, it could lead to a confrontation with Eurelia.

…Tsk.

Ruby clicked her tongue and soon muttered quietly to herself.

Is it frustration that I’ve been feeling recently?

She, who reproached her own inexplicably reckless actions that caused this chaos, quickly finished her calculations and tried to speak.

“For that…”

– Kugugung!! Kugung!!!

“Kyakkk!?”

At that moment, loud noises echoed, and the entire classroom began to shake.

– Kugugugugung! Kugung!!

No, the entire academy was shaking.

“Wh-what’s happening!?”

“This… is insane.”

“E-everyone, calm down and get under your desks…”

Thanks to this, the students, who were in a state of confusion, were distraught and scattered.

[ Main Quest ]

Description:

[The Main Quest, the Student Council President Election Scenario, has officially begun.]

Top Priority: Make Ms. Alice elected as the Student Council President.

Second Priority: Maximize the impact of the academy’s first erosion incident.

Third Priority: Minimize Frey’s influence.

In front of Ruby, a system window appeared.

– Swishh!!

She irritably swiped away the system window, then promptly stood up with a lift at the corners of her lips.

“Everyone, follow my lead!”

It was an unexpected turn of events, but she was inwardly rejoicing at the chance to escape this difficult situation.

.

Meanwhile…

– Kugugung!! Kugugugung!!!

“Master, please stay here. I will protect you.”

Among the second-year students who were just as confused as the first-year students, Lulu embraced Frey with a gleam in her eyes.

“Uh, uahh… uahh…”

As the class began to shake, Frey, frightened, instinctively buried his head in Lulu’s arms.

[ Main Quest: Start of Student Council President Election Scenario ]

Top Priority: Prevent Alice from becoming the student council president.

Second Priority: Prevent the first erosion incident.

Third Priority: Minimize the Demon King’s influence.

“…Ah.”

Seeing the quest window that appeared in front of him, Frey quickly adjusted his expression and stood up.

“No, Lulu.”

And still, in a frightened state, Frey spoke while gritting his teeth.

“I’ll be the one who protects you.”

After saying that, he quietly touched his sword and his eyes began to glow silver.

Also, the heroines, students, freshmen, all of them… I will protect them all.

Though the last words were only murmured inwardly, the meaning was clearly conveyed in his eyes.

Even though his mental strength had dropped close to 0, he was still a Hero.

– Shiver…

Lulu held Frey’s trembling hands tightly. As she caught his gaze, she gently caressed the collar around her neck.

Indeed… Whatever anyone says, Master is still Master.

Something sharp was protruding from her head.
