I, the Villain, Want to Save Myself, But the Yandere Heroines Disagree
Chapter 62 - Handmade Cookies

It wasn’t until Orson made a long series of excuses downstairs for Litte, and Laina nodded as if she understood and left, that Litte finally came downstairs.

“Were you watching from upstairs just now?” Orson took a sip of water. Hearing footsteps, he didn’t turn around, just simply spoke, asking.

“Mm.”

“From now on, you should go to these kinds of balls less often. The people inside, you probably won’t be able to communicate with.”

“But, if I become Duke, these balls are necessary social events, right?”

It was like the drinking culture. Although they knew it was a bad practice, it was still passed down.

This kind of banquet advocated for extravagance. The result was wastefulness.

But no one cared about these things. They only cared about whether they had achieved their goals at the banquet.

“That’s true too,” Orson sighed.

Then, he turned around, looked at Litte, and was startled.

“Litte, your outfit...”

The upper body was a loose shirt, with Orson’s jacket worn over it.

Orson’s build was considerably larger than Litte’s. Therefore, the jacket on Litte managed to cover down to the thighs.

Most crucially, it looked as if Litte was only wearing these things.

Two smooth and slender long legs were thus exposed. Orson, for a moment, didn’t know where to look.

“Why are you dressed like this...”

“Hmm? Isn’t it just casual wear at home?”

“But like this, anyone who sees you will know you are a girl, right?!”

“It’s alright. Anyway, there’s no one else at home.”

“Or rather, Orson, do you want to see?” Litte heard this, and slowly lifted the hem of her jacket, blushing.

Then, a pair of brown leather shorts appeared before Orson. Not underwear, but a type of shorts similar to hot pants, convenient for movement.

“Hehe, Orson, you didn’t really think I wasn’t wearing anything underneath, did you?”

“...” Orson was silent for a moment, then lightly knocked Litte on the head, and took off the jacket from her.

“Looks alright,” Orson said this, carefully examining Litte before him. “If the material of the entire outfit were changed to that kind of brown leather, you would truly look a bit like an adventurer.”

“Your taste in clothes is alright.” After evaluating, he went upstairs without looking back.

...

On the other side, Lianca walked back alone on the road.

She had originally wanted to ask Orson some questions, but unexpectedly, Orson suddenly ran off carrying Litte.

It was such a rare opportunity, and she had even come out without telling her sister today.

The more she walked, the more tired she became. Lianca finally sat down on a long bench.

She couldn’t help but lower her head, pondering what she had done wrong.

Her luck was perhaps a little too poor. Every time she wanted to do something, it was always impossible for various reasons.

The more she thought, the more wronged she felt. She couldn’t help but bury her head even lower.

Footsteps sounded from beside her. Lianca initially thought it was just someone passing by. Then, the footsteps stopped beside her, and that person sat down next to her.

“Lianca.” Hearing that familiar gentle voice, Lianca’s body couldn’t help but tremble.

“Sis... Sister?”

“Mm. What are you doing out alone so late? Didn’t you say there was a ball?”

“Boohoo, Sister, my dance partner abandoned me,” Lianca saw Olivia, and finally couldn’t help but cry and complain to her.

“We clearly agreed, but he suddenly ran off with someone else.”

“I see...” Olivia heard this, gently hugged Lianca, and stroked her back to comfort her.

“It’s alright, it’s alright, Lianca. You are so excellent. If someone abandoned you, it’s definitely that person’s problem.”

“By the way, what is the name of your dance partner?”

Hearing Olivia ask this, Lianca was startled, then sniffled, and shook her head.

“N-no need. That person is not important.”

“Mm-hmm, it’s good that they’re not important.” Olivia heard this, and also went along with Lianca’s wishes.

After a long while, seeing that Lianca had finished crying, Olivia smiled and said:

“Alright, let’s go back and talk about whatever it is, okay?”

“Mm,” Lianca nodded, and was led by the hand by Olivia, following her towards the dorm.

“Speaking of which, I didn’t see Orson when I went to his dorm tonight.” On the way, Olivia suddenly spoke.

“Eh? Then, Orson must have gone to the ball with Litte and the others, right?”

“But Litte didn’t go with Laina?”

“How do you know, Sister?”

“Does Sister not have a mouth? Can’t I just go and ask them myself?”

“Then who did Orson go with?” Lianca asked, pretending to be confused.

“That’s right, who indeed...” Olivia also said with a smile.

“Anyway, it’s definitely not you, Lianca. After all, Orson couldn’t possibly promise you and then abandon you, right?”

“Mm-hmm, it’s definitely not me!”

“Besides, who cares about that Orson guy? If he ran off, he ran off. I certainly didn’t take it to heart.”

“Hmm?” Olivia heard this, stopped walking, and turned back to look at Lianca. “Lianca, what did you just say?”

“Uh...” Lianca was startled, and recalled what she had just said.

“I meant to say... even if the dance partner who ran off was Orson, I wouldn’t take it to heart, more so anyone else.”

“Oh, I see,” Olivia smiled and nodded. “As expected of my good sister, Lianca. Your taste is high!”

...

Early the next morning, Orson opened his eyes groggily and saw another small bulge under the covers. He sighed helplessly.

Then, he got up, grabbed Litte by the back of her neck while she was still sleeping, lifted her up, and put her back on her own bed.

Coming downstairs, after washing up, he heard a knock at the door.

Opening the door, he found Lianca standing at the entrance.

“Um, Orson, although you left halfway yesterday, I am still very grateful that you were willing to take the time to accompany me. These are cookies that Sister and I learned to make. If you don’t mind, then... then please accept them.”

“Ah, thank you for the trouble, Lianca,” Orson said this, nodded, and then welcomed Lianca into the room.

“Last night, I am truly sorry. Litte suddenly wasn’t feeling well...” Sitting at the dining table, Orson poured himself and Lianca two cups of tea. Then the two sat and enjoyed the cookies Lianca had made while drinking tea.

As expected of someone who had learned from Olivia, the cookies were crispy and sweet, perfect as a snack.

“But I saw Litte was fine before,” Lianca said, biting into a cookie, and looked at Orson in confusion.

“Mm... Litte’s physical condition is somewhat special. Only close family knows about it, so it’s inconvenient to tell you, Lianca. I am truly sorry.”

“I see. Apologies for asking about something unpleasant.”

“It’s alright, it’s alright,” Orson shook his head.

“By the way, Orson, there is actually one more thing I came for this time,” Lianca said slowly after eating a few more cookies.
