Reincarnated as a Side-Character

Chapter 39: Who was the Villain?

Diba umalis na sila kasama si Mel? But she has different outfit... hindi ganyan ang suot niya kanina. Don't tell me- huh?

What? anong nangyayari? Are they clones!? That couldn't be, yung way ng pag ngiti ni Erina. It doesn't look like her.

And King? Paano siya andito? I thought he was unconscious! BUT are they perhaps clones? Ibang iba si King dahil napaka-gloomy niyang tingnan.

King's personality doesn't match up- "Grabe ang harsh mo naman sa assistant ko."

Napaawang naman ang labi ko sa sinabi ni Erina, is she really Erina? "W-who are you? Kayo... kayo ba ang may gawa ng lahat!? Ang pakana ng lahat!?"

I can now talk! Pero kanina bakit hindi ako makapagsalita?

Nakita ko naman ang mas lalong pang-ngiti ni Erina, h-hindi ko na alam kung ano ang nangyayari. Si Erina ba ang may pakana ng lahat?

But I didn't doubt her because she was so kind, pero... since when did she changed her personality like that? Acting? No- that doesn't seem right.

At si King? Is he still King? Kasama ba siya ni Erina na may pakana ng lahat? I... thought we were friends? Teka naguguluhan na talaga ako! ano na ba ang nangyayari!?

"Hah, still the same as ever? Grabe, di ka na nagbago Herabella. Smart, wise but mabilis maniwala." Natatawang sambit ni Erina. "You're good at guessing, but not well enough."

"ERINA YOU SH*T! TINURING KITANG KAIBIGAN-

"Erina? Oh no, the name's not Erina. Nanghihiram lang ako ng katawan ni Erina to summon." Nanlamig naman ako sa sinabi niya.

Huh? Then... who is she. "S-so ang totoong Erina ay kasama ni Mel?! Kasabwat mo ba siya?! pati na din si King-

"Hep- stop." She snapped her fingers and moved my body. Paano niya nagawa yan? Akala ko walang mahika si Erina... "Let me explain, kasi you keep guessing without thinking. It's annoying."

Lumapit naman si King saakin, no that's not King at all... parang may someone na naka-possess sakanya. "Wait, let my assistant do all the work. Kiara."

"Yes mistress." King... has a girl's voice? "We are just possessing the body of this two para maggawa ang plano namin, in short we're good at acting."

"Yung kasama ng kaibigan mo ay isa lamang clone, who are also good at acting para hindi ma detect ang mahika nila." Dagdag pa nito. "My name's Kiara, I possessed the body of this so called 'King'"

"Naintindihan mo ba Herabella? Hayssss, ikaw dapat ang source to make it all work! My beautiful lovely plan na nasira dahil saiyo." Kaway kaway na reklamo ni Erina. "Oh the name's Irine."

"Goddess Irine to be exact. She is the goddess of light and the ruler of this world." Biglang sabat nung King na Kiara ata ang pangalan. "I'm her assistant."

"Go-Goddess? You are a Goddess, bakit ka nanggugulo sa mundong ito? If you're the goddess and a ruler, shouldn't you be helping us? may mga demons na-

"We summoned those demons." –Irine. Diba sabi niya she's the Goddess of light? Why is she killing people and summoning demons?! "I lured you all here sa cave and it was all according to plan"

"I really loved what happened kina King and Gareth but hindi those deaths are too boring kaya we lure Mel sa cure, since desidido naman kayo you agreed. It was quite easy for us to do it." –Irine.

"I have no choice na gumawa ulit ng plano! Bahala na't mailigtas ni Melusine ang dalawang yon, as long as I got you pinned here and addition na iyong galit ni Melusine saiyo. Aren't I a genius?" dagdag nito.

"Why?" tanong ko.

"Because this world is so boooorriing without conflict." Nakangising sagot niya. ano? "Walang ka thrill thrill, so I decided to do something about it. Since duh I'm the ruler slash Goddess."

"Ano ba ang pinagsasabi mo! You are the Goddess! Anong boring?! May namamatay sa mga ginagawa mo and you're saying this bullcrap? What kind of ruler are you" I argued.

Bigla namang namula ang mata niya what the-. Lumiwanag ang katawan ni Erina and a soul came out. Blonde girl with long hair na naka white dress and red eyes.

"You don't tell me what to do, peasant. Ako ang namumuno dito so I can do anything to this world." Napanganga ako sa appearance niya.

Sh-she really does look like a Goddess, so under si Rios dito? "Ang ganda na sana nung ginawa mong plano about that Princess Melusine pero biglang nag-iba ang route mo."

"What are you even blabbering about?" paggalit kong tanong, nagka-interes siya sa desisyon ni Herabella tungkol sa pag-break nina Mel at Gareth?

"That was such a nice move to create such an entertaining show don't you think? Pero kinalimutan mo ang plano mo and changed your plans! Instead tinulungan mo ang prinsesa!" galit na sabi niya.

"So I have to do my work, you know. Summoning demons para magkagulo kayo, it was kind of getting boring nung nag-iiyakan lang kayo. I want death! Thrill! More killings!"

"Of course my dear Kiara did all the summoning sa mga demons using King's body samantalang ako naman sa clones using Erina's body. It was a perfect acting for both of us don't you think!" –Irine.

So... it was all an act? Yung pag-eenjoy ko kasama sina King and Erina was just an act? Pero aren't they possessed by Irine and Kiara? It means nasa loob padin sina Erina at King!

They only possessed King and Erina, kaya wala silang choice. Atsaka I don't believe King's a bad person at all!

"Those two clones na ginawa ko did a good job acting in here too. dito ko lang sila na summon and good thing I marked Lord Magnus para hindi siya maka react. Now he's under my command, he was quite troublesome."

Sabi na't may mali kay Magnus eh! The way he acts- so yung bulong at pagtapik ni Erina kanina sa leeg ni Magnus is marking him?!

Nakatayo parin si Kiara sa may tabi at hindi nagsasalita, but I can see her flinching because of fear. Lumapit naman si yung Irine sakin.

"I knew something went wrong nung tinulungan mo si Melusine." She whispered.

So... siya ang rason kung bakit ganon ang kinahahantungan ni Mel? Ang kamatayan? Pero wala namang ginawang masama si Mel diba?! She was just a victim!

It was all because of Herabella Venturi's deal sa royal family na ilayo si Mel kay Gareth, If Herabella didn't do it, then... maybe hindi mamamatay si Mel?

Bakit ako yung may kasalanan!? I was just the reincarnated person anong alam ko dito?! Herabella was a side character and nothing more-

Hindi pinakita na siya pala ang may gawa ng lahat, she was the reason why everything started in the first place! Because of her decision, nagka-interest yung Goddess kay Herabella...

And started playing with their lives?! Kasi bored siya?! so who's the real villain!? Herabella? Or this Goddess?

"So tell me everything... Herabella Venturi." Napalunok naman ako ng paulit ulit, she's a Goddess, dapat alam na niya kung ano ako.

"Fine, sasabihin ko saiyo." Inis na sabi ko. "I am not from this world at oo I'm just a soul reincarnated in Herabella's body!"

Napaawang naman ang bibig ni Irine sabay tawa. "What are you saying? Well to be honest yes I do feel a little weird sa soul mo... parang may nagbago pero konti lang naman."

"But you're still Herabella Venturi. So why are you saying you're a reincarnated soul? You are the real Herabella Venturi." Dagdag nito.
