The Villainous Me Turned the Losers into Blackened Bosses-Chapter 132 - The Train... Started Moving

—

“So skinny… still such a fragile boy who needs protecting.”

Shuna was so close, practically pressed against Will.

Her fingers slid from his collarbone down to his chest, stopping just above his heart.

Unlike other girls, she didn’t keep long nails—it would be too inconvenient for dungeon exploration—but even the light touch of her fingertips across his chest made it ticklish.

Facing Shuna, who was now sitting directly on top of him, Will swallowed hard.

Wha… what was happening?!

What was going on?

Sure, Shuna had always been a bit hands-on, but whether it was pinching his face or squeezing his arm, it always felt like the kind of thing a tomboyish friend with no sense of personal boundaries would do.

But this time, it felt like she was actually trying to pin him down.

The Shuna in front of him, her jacket slipping off one shoulder, her gaze hazy, and her lips slightly wet from licking them…

She looked incredibly seductive!

She looked like she was about to do something inappropriate to him!

But…

If this had been a minute ago, Will might have thought drunk Shuna was adorably soft and cute…

However!

Why was he even lying here in the first place?

Because this woman had lifted him like a sack of potatoes and thrown him here!

No matter how drunk she was, S was still S.

This was the same Shuna who had immense strength, incredible skills, and had served as his mentor for years…

Could she really just be “a woman who wants to sleep with him”?

No, no, that was too shallow.

She had to be his soul-bound, ride-or-die bro!

Will’s brain did a full 360-degree spin, and he decided to remain unfazed.

He was convinced he was just imagining things because he’d had too much to drink. There was no way she had any intentions toward him.

So, he grabbed Shuna’s fingertips and firmly pressed her hand against his chest.

“Huh?”

Then he moved her hand back and forth.

“If you’re going to touch, do it properly and confirm it!”

He even guided her hand directly over his heart.

“I have been training! Seriously!”

“Huh???”

Shuna’s entire hand was now pressed against Will’s left pectoral muscle, and through the muscle, she could feel his strong, steady heartbeat.

A powerful heartbeat!

Toned muscles!

And her palm, warm from Will’s grip, moving back and forth…

All of this sent Shuna, who was genuinely drunk and a bit dazed, into a state of shock.

What?

What was she feeling?

Why was she feeling this?

And why was he guiding her hand to do this…

What had she been doing just now? It seemed like… she had been planning to pin him down?

Given his persona as a fragile, inexperienced young master, wasn’t he supposed to shy away, scream “No!” and get his clothes ripped off?

Why was he so assertively grabbing her hand instead?

At this thought, Shuna suddenly felt a headache coming on.

Something felt off.

Looking down at Will, who was pinned beneath her, his shirt slightly untucked…

He did look like he had been completely overpowered by her, unable to resist her strength.

No, no…

Shuna’s alcohol-clouded brain struggled to regain control, especially over her rationality.

Who tries to pin down their pen pal the first time they meet?

Although, admittedly… she had wanted to for years.

But…

She was greedy. She had already decided…

She wanted him to gradually get to know her, understand her, rely on her… and then…

Fall in love with her.

Only then would his heart and soul truly belong to her.

With this thought, Shuna clenched her fist, gripping Will’s shirt tightly.

“Sigh…”

Her first semi-sober thought was—

Damn, his chest muscles are actually pretty nice. This was worth it.

“What… what’s wrong?”

From Will’s perspective, Shuna had gone from holding her forehead with one hand to suddenly looking more clear-eyed, then gripping his shirt tightly.

The entire process took less than three seconds.

He couldn’t imagine what kind of mental gymnastics Shuna had gone through in those three seconds.

“So? Pretty solid muscles, right? Even if I can’t lift someone like you just did, it proves I’ve been training!”

“Y-yeah… they’re pretty good… ahem… I take back what I said…”

Was it just Will’s imagination, or did Shuna’s face look even redder now?

But at the same time, her gaze seemed clearer than before.

“Little Will… you really are… quite cute.”

“Don’t call a man cute.”

If he could, Will would rather not be called cute by a woman. Honestly, while he was… okay, a bit skinny and kind of the team’s pet, he was still a capable man! He wasn’t just coasting on his looks.

“By the way, you’re definitely drunk, right?”

“Why do you say that? Because I lifted you, and drunk people have extra strength?”

Hmm?

Will suddenly noticed that Shuna’s speech was clearer, her pauses less frequent, and her logic surprisingly coherent, even with a touch of humor.

“My head does feel a bit foggy, like it’s all muddled together. This is a first for me…”

So, Will confirmed that Shuna had indeed been drunk before her gaze cleared up.

It also confirmed—

She had no reason to fake being drunk, lead someone to the train station, and haul them onto the caboose.

Unless this train was about to depart and she planned to whisk him away on some elopement.

—That sounded ridiculous. No way.

So…

The Shuna in his arms…

Will cautiously placed a hand on her shoulder.

It was hard to believe that Shuna, who had just lifted him with one hand, had shoulders as soft as a little girl’s.

Could she really have drunk herself under the table?

This didn’t match the careful, strategic S he knew!

“Don’t tell me this is your first time… getting drunk. No, your first time drinking?”

“Th-this… ahem, of course not! I’ve… I’ve had alcohol before. I’m not some bookworm who spends all day reading, okay? This is… this is something adventurers do all the time, so of course… I’ve done it too.”

Her lips were soft, but her words were firm.

“It’s just… I feel a bit dizzy… and really sleepy…”

The imposing aura she had when she lifted him was gone. Now she was holding her forehead, her upper body swaying.

“It’s fine. You’re not the first person I’ve seen drink themselves into a stupor.”

Will thought back to the day of graduation, when two people had to be carried home after drinking too much at his house.

Phew… it seemed Shuna wasn’t much different from them.

Will reached out and patted her head.

“It’s late. Let’s call it a night and head back to—”

However, Will’s words were cut off.

Interrupted by…

The deafening blast of a train whistle from the front of the train…

HOOOOOOOT!

Just like the whistle he had heard at the market a few days ago, it echoed through the night sky, startling a flock of birds from the nearby trees.

“Wait?!”

No way, how could this be?

Was the train really departing tonight? Sure, freight trains running at night wasn’t unusual.

But why…

Why did every random thought he had turn into a flag?!

“A train whistle? Why is there a train whistle? I thought we were at a hotel?”

“Shuna, get up! The train is about to—”

“What?”

Shuna stood up and looked around, realizing she was indeed on a train—specifically, the last caboose.

Until now, she hadn’t been faking it.

She had genuinely been drunk and had accidentally led Will to the wrong place.

Hmm… that explained why they had taken such a roundabout route. If she hadn’t been drunk, she wouldn’t have walked like that.

But…

“The train hasn’t started moving yet. We can still get off… Shuna, let’s—”

As Will stood up, holding onto the railing, Shuna suddenly had an interesting idea.

If her goal was to build a connection with Will, then…

Creating an adventure just for the two of them…

Would be a fantastic idea, right?!

Perfect!

Her lips curled into a victorious smile.

Especially since this would help her shake off that clingy wolf-girl maid, that stubborn witch who wouldn’t listen, and that half-elf princess with considerable influence…

What a brilliant plan!

Always seizing opportunities like this—of course, I’m the heroine!

Shuna’s smile reached its peak, but she covered her face with her hand, pretending to be dizzy from the alcohol.

“I’m feeling… unsteady.”

“Shuna, the door’s open, don’t lean back—”

Will reached out to steady her, but instead, Shuna grabbed his hand and pulled him down.

THUD!

The two of them tumbled into the caboose.

“Damn it, what kind of dungeon tech is this? Why does it start so fast…”

Hmm…

As Will thought this, he realized his face was resting on something soft. Whatever it was, it cushioned his fall, preventing any injuries.

Without a doubt…

That “something” was…

Will got up and found himself lying on top of Shuna.

“Sh-Shuna?! Are you okay?”

“I’m… I’m fine…”

Shuna half-opened one eye and tried to sit up.

But…

“I’ve learned my lesson. First time drinking, shouldn’t have had so much.”

She couldn’t sit up and lay back down.

“I’m going to sleep now. Goodnight.”

“We’re still on the train, don’t… don’t fall asleep!”

“Snore… snore…”

Shuna started snoring softly.

“Wh-what is this?!”

Will took a deep breath and sat down.

“Fine, I’m tired too. Let’s deal with this… tomorrow…”

Unbeknownst to him, Shuna stuck out her tongue playfully.

The train rumbled on, heading toward an unknown destination—

—

“Young Master…”

The train rumbled on, heading toward an unknown destination.

“…His scent…”

In Eir’s eyes, the last thing she saw was her Young Master’s figure, falling onto the drunken woman he had brought along.

And as the train…

Got farther and farther away, it grew smaller and smaller.

“…disappeared.”

Standing on the gravel-strewn tracks, Eir tilted her head, her ears and head pointing in different directions.

“What… just happened?”
