Villain Path

Chapter 30.2. Villain is always guilty

Shen opened his eyes and stared at the ceiling.

«I hope, I won't be informed now that it's been a week,» he thought. «And why the fucking ceiling again?! This time it even started not with me being captured, but Muan and Al, so why did I end up getting hurt anyway? Is it villain's karma? Or is it just that I'm a total sucker?» He was quite self-critical to be able to admit even the second option.

Without hearing any response, Shen started to worry:

«Hey, System! System!»

He recalled that it's been a while since he'd heard her comments, which was really weird, considering the amount of events that occurred.

«System! Make some noise!»

[I'm here,] she said grimly.

«Where were you? Why are there no notifications?»

[You rolled me up roll up into a tray! There are so many notifications piled up in the background!]

«Sorry, dear,» a little embarrassed he said «I didn't even realize I did it. Well, what's the news? Give your notifications here!»

Casually noting, that words about spiritual beast sounded cool, Shen more surprised by another thing:

«A whole thousand of coolness? Is this due to obtaining an immortal sword? And five hundred to strength! Well, it's not surprising, he was able to lift me up...» Remembering all his misadventures, Shen noticed that something heavy was pressing down on his stomach. Half rising, he saw his big and fluffy Volchara. Alive and healthy, even wounds from Muan's sword were healed.

"Volchara!" he exclaimed, attacking the spirit with hugs.

Disturbing a sore shoulder, he quietly oohed, but didn't stop hugging a fluffy muzzle.

"Msster!" animal hissed, intensely wagging his big tail.

The first few blows just knocked out the dust, but the next broked one of the racks. The canopy almost fell on top of Shen.

"Mm, you're awake," suddenly he heard a voice.

Stopping hugging his fuzzy, Shen sat up in bed, finally deciding to take an interest in the outside world. He saw Muan observing him from the couch

"What are you doing here?"

"Sitting," the man said sullenly.

Shen raised his eyebrows in surprise. Muan didn't react to it in any way. Then Shen come to ask:

"Why?"

"And what do you want me to do, stand?"

The question puzzled the Cursed Peak Lord for a bit.

"Well, yeah," he agreed, deciding not to pursue pointless conversation. "It's good, that you're here. Tell me right away all that happened yesterday and how you and Al got catched. Thought, no, better start from what you have poured into my vine and why."
