Transmigrating as an Extra Third-Rate Villain

And I never doubt myself!

One of these answers had to be correct, no?

Walking into the dining room with no answer to the question, those were thoughts swirling a in my head.

But... as I looked a the room and saw basically everybody staring at me, my expression turned grim.

Putting my hands on my head, I stayed silt for a second.

This wasn\'t a multiple-choice question that I could guess; it was a free response...

As the room became unbearably silt and everyone\'s gazes remained locked on me, I sighed before finally speaking.

Partial credit was better than no credit, right?

" *ahem* Actually, it was the craziest thing... I was just walking a the clearing wh.... wh... a bunch of demons sured me! I was about to be robbed and killed wh suddly a lightning bolt appeared in the form of the que and saved me!"

"..."

"PFFT"

Turning my head to face Ruby, who was desperately trying to cover her mouth in order to stop the laughter from leaking out, I put on a deadpan expression and asked.

"Is me almost dying and being robbed funny to you...?"

"PFFFFFFFFFFT"

Of course, this just caused Ruby to break into more laughter, and Ire, who was next to her, also began laughing.

That, I had no idea why.

Was laughter really contagious, like people say?

Thus, the atttion was successfully redirected to the two people laughing as everyone else turned to stare at them with confused expressions.

"PFFT"

To Ruby\'s right, Liam also started laughing uncontrollably... while pointing at me?

...was laughter really that contagious? ...I wasn\'t feeling any urge to laugh.

Looking back at Lily, I saw her practically dying to ask me more questions as her hands trembled, but thankfully, she decided to stop for now.

Crisis Averted!

As the waiters reappeared, bringing more plates of food that were unfortunately not from Earth, the table slowly broke off into cliques.

Kevin, Liam, and Zach were chatting about their plans for the rest of the day while Ire and Ruby were snickering about something.

Seeing those two girls together just felt right... yet a bit weird at the same time.

Two future-powerful villainesses were chatting and laughing happily... while sitting next to the protagonist and his party members.

The only area of the table that was completely silt was mine.

Alya clearly wanted to talk to Lily, but I was in the middle. Lily wanted to ask me questions, but she didn\'t want Alya to hear for some reason.

Thus, the three of us were left in a stalemate.

Seeing our awkward silce, Liana looked at Alya with a weird expression before asking.

"Say, Alya, wer\'t you planning to go shopping this afternoon? Why don\'t you bring some frids along.... like. Oh, I know! You can bring our new frid, R!"

"..."

"..."

Alya stared at Liana siltly, her eyes colder than usual, and I pretded not to hear her by staring at my plate, resulting in the table becoming completely silt once again.

Either taking advantage of the situation or wanting to help her frid, Lily broke the silce and replied.

"Oh, I was thinking of going shopping...why don\'t I come with you two?"

Before Liana could ev reply, Alya immediately responded.

"Yeah, sounds good!"

Seeing Alya agree to the new plan, Liana begrudgingly nodded her head and gave us the thumbs up.

Since I had giv the story of the que being my savior, I would have no right to disagree with the plan in front of everyone here, so I just siltly nodded my head in agreemt.

It wasn\'t like I had any plans to train, especially after what had happed inside the tree... but Jin and Han were complaining about me not going out with them...

Sneaking away could be a possibility... but Lily would probably hold me back.

But... it wasn\'t like I had to pretd to like Lily anymore, as the time had far surpassed wh I had to act like R.

So, th, couldn\'t I just leave and ignore her?

Yet... I didn\'t want to... or I guess I couldn\'t.

It was weird... it felt like a part of my body was telling me to do one thing while the other was saying the exact opposite.

All the other emotions or lingering feelings of R had disappeared... so why was I still feeling like this?

They say one can\'t reincarnate or go to heav if they still have lingering regrets...

The real "R" had not completely disappeared from this world yet... there was just one regret holding him back from going to heav...or maybe hell, considering his behavior.

His first love.

No matter how cursed or forced his love for Lily was, one\'s first love is always special and important.

Unfortunately, in "R\'s" case, his first love was unrequited...so his regret and emotions probably built up over the years, leading to this large pt-up feeling of regret in my body.

Sighing, I turned to Lily to see if she still had any of Lily\'s emotions, but simply looking at her didn\'t tell me anything.

She hadn\'t flinched in disgust at all despite being so near to me, in differce to wh before her eyes flicked whever she saw me.

Still, it was hard to tell if she was going through the same dilemma as me and was just hiding it.

Well... if its a simple shopping trip, I can deal with it if it makes this weird feeling go away...

Having all the power in the world wouldn\'t mean shit if I didn\'t ev have complete control over my own body and emotions...

Going with Lily on the shopping trip now was just a temporary solution, so I needed to figure something out soon.

At least, the problem wasn\'t too bad as the feeling only appeared occasionally wh I was with Lily.

However, as I continued to nod, I felt a cold gaze coming from right in front of me, instantly causing me to shiver.
