The Villainous Me Turned the Losers into Blackened Bosses-Chapter 126 - How Could I Have Such a Dream?

—

What kind of person would W be?

Shuna pondered this question constantly on her way to the meeting.

Though she had long suspected that W was actually “Will Hysterm,” the young master of the Hysterm family, because his letterhead was so easily traceable and W was simply the initial of “Will”…

A little guesswork, and it was almost certain.

But she had never seen this young master. Even with the convenience of cameras, she had never seen him in any public reports from the Hysterm family, although there were plenty of photos of his brothers and sisters.

Surely, he wasn’t so unloved that he was excluded from all family events?

So…

What would he be like?

A frail, small young master who looked like he’d cry if punched?

A young master who exuded student-like innocence and scholarly air?

Or… the mischievous, perverted, and flirtatious bad boy described in stories?

…

But as she approached the meeting place, Shuna felt her heart pounding harder, her muscles and organs seemingly resonating with her racing heartbeat.

She had never seen W’s face…

But seeing the person standing by the green ivy…

He looked refined, yet not naively delicate.

Wearing glasses, he appeared slim, but his tailored pants revealed a well-toned physique.

Especially the black jacket with a waistcoat, which made him look dependable even among the burly adventurers.

His jacket was unbuttoned, giving him a somewhat roguish appearance.

His brown hair seemed carefully styled, neatly combed, though one could imagine it being messy at times.

—Yes, he must be W.

Just seeing him for the first time, Shuna was certain.

She took a deep breath, pretending not to recognize him, and walked to the other side of the ivy, carrying the small book she had brought.

Suppressing her wildly beating heart, she opened the book and pretended to read.

But inside, she was shouting—

—Look at me, look at me, look at me, look at me, look at me.

—Haven’t you noticed me yet?

—It’s normal not to recognize me, but look over here. You’ll recognize the bookmark in the book, right?

—This was the first gift you gave me, and I’ve kept it safe.

Finally, Shuna felt his gaze move from her chest to the book.

—Great.

—Finally, the day has come.

—Time to surprise you!

“Finally recognized me?”

“Mr. W~”

—

Will was speechless, frozen in place as he listened to her words.

His brain was running at a near-burning speed—

The bookmark was something he had given to Mr. S, custom-made, and no one else knew about it.

The alias W was only used in his correspondence with Mr. S, and no one else knew it.

The green ivy by the door was a meeting place S had mentioned in their private letters, and no one else knew about it.

His eyes were glued to her slightly bent figure, facing him directly.

So…

So, so, so…

His pen pal, whom he had always considered a good brother, was a girl?!

And such a beautiful girl?!

And a super-strong, top-tier adventurer girl?!

A girl who made his heart race?!

Was this some kind of dream where an online friend turned out to be a busty beauty?

Could this really be happening to him?!

Thinking back, S had never mentioned her gender. In fact, she rarely talked about herself.

And when he wrote letters… he always used “S” for the address, and the pronouns were always “you.”

He hadn’t even given her a chance to correct any gender misunderstandings…

The girl in front of him brushed her long hair aside, crossed her arms, and stood smiling at him.

“What’s wrong? Still can’t believe it? You… didn’t really think I was a guy, did you?”

She figured it out!

Will instinctively took two steps back, not because he didn’t trust her, but…

He needed some distance from this shocking revelation to let his brain process it.

Then…

Maybe it was the overwhelming shock, but his first reaction was to pinch his own cheek.

“Ouch, so it’s not a dream.”

“Ah… right, how could I dream about my good brother turning into a girl…?”

“Wait, it’s not a dream?”

After doing this foolish action, he looked at S, who was standing there with her arms crossed, seemingly waiting for him to continue his performance.

Oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no.

What was he doing?!

All the self-introductions he had prepared for meeting Mr. S had vanished upon seeing Ms. S, and he even pinched himself?!

Since she was a girl, he should make a good impression, Will!

“So… um, you, you, you… uh… you’re S?”

Why was he stuttering?!

While Will’s brain and body were completely out of control, she did something even more unexpected.

“Pfft.”

She laughed.

And it wasn’t a ladylike laugh.

“I… I, I, I…”

What did that laugh mean? Was she angry? If he had been mistaken for a woman by a pen pal for years and wasn’t recognized at their first meeting, he’d be upset too…

How should he respond?

Will, where’s your wealth of experience dealing with women?

You’re not like this in front of Leah, Treya, or Eir!

Why were you stuttering in front of her? Although… although…

She did have a strong presence.

Like a very commanding, mature older sister.

And she was wearing black stockings.

And her legs looked amazing in them.

So…

His good brother turned out to be a girl who perfectly matched his preferences—what kind of dream was this?!

“Sorry, I wasn’t laughing at you. Your reaction is just adorable. I thought, from your eloquent letters, you wouldn’t be so flustered.”

She lowered her arms, walked around the planter, and stood in front of him.

“Yes, I’m S.”

“But now that we’ve met, you don’t need to call me by my alias anymore.”

“Shuna. Please call me Shuna.”

Shuna’s warm smile helped Will’s brain start functioning again.

So that’s why she used “S” as her alias—it was similar to how he chose his.

“Will… Will Hysterm.”

He nodded, instinctively reaching out to shake her hand.

Unexpectedly…

Shuna also reached out, but instead of shaking his hand, she boldly cupped his face with both hands.

She pinched his cheeks and pulled them slightly.

It hurt a bit, and Will winced.

“It’s not a dream. I’ve always been a girl.”

“Consider this…”

“Your punishment for mistaking my gender!”

“Hmm, your face is just as pinchable as I imagined.”
