Villain Simulator-Chapter 73: Beginning of something Sinister

"What?!!"

I shouted out loud subconsciously and almost deactivated my skill [Stealth].

Fortunately, I regained control in time, and since I was traveling through the alleyways, no one noticed me yelling.

Phew~!

’This system really knows how to give me shocks.’

There were a lot of questions I wanted to ask, but I held back my doubts.

Daisy’s condition was also serious, so I focused on rushing back first.

In the meantime, though, I didn’t forget to call Albert and make him get some things ready before I reached home.

Shortly after that, I arrived at my destination, where I promptly removed my cloak and mask near the house for a seamless entry.

Upon my arrival, I saw Albert patiently waiting outside.

"Young Master!"

However, the sight of my condition caused him to gasp, and he nearly lost his composure in his haste to come to my aid.

"Take my support, and the non-awakened lady doctor you asked is already inside; please come with me."

But at his suggestion, I just waved my hand.

"No need; let her wait, and have you prepared the monster cores I asked for?"

"Yes, I put them in your room as per your instructions."

"Good, now call some maids to help me carry Daisy."

"This... Daisy?"

It was only then, when I mentioned it, that Albert gazed at the sack-like object wrapped in black cloth on my shoulder.

His eyes widened in surprise, and without even explaining, he seemed to have understood many things.

Nonetheless, being a loyal butler trained by the family since childhood, he just nodded and obeyed my orders.

Of course, I knew he would tell this all to my father, but that was the last thing I was worried about.

’Heh! It is for a reason that a villain’s family often follows his doom in a novel.’

They were all bad guys, and they stuck together and backed the villain through everything, no matter how terrible things became.

So I doubted I would be reprimanded for saving Daisy.

On the contrary, I might get praise for my planning and strategy instead, since it was possible that my dad had already learned about me asking Isaac to frame Daisy on live television.

In any case, this was all a matter for later.

For now, with the help of maids, I took Daisy into my room.

There, I first checked if she was really asleep, and when I confirmed that by tickling her weak spots, I immediately used my skill [Chaos Ritual].

Exchanging the best suppressant I could with the cores currently available to me, I gave it to Daisy.

And in an instant, a large part of the black mark of the Chaos curse that had spread across her heart faded back.

Following that, I instructed the maids to change her clothes while keeping her mask on, and then, in a similar manner, I let the lady doctor do the first aid on her and me.

While she was given injections and ordered to rest because of her internal injuries, I was simply plastered and bandaged for my fractured left hand.

Surprisingly, I was told that it would take a few days for my arm to heal, and Daisy, who was hurt worse than I was, would wake up by evening and be fine in a day or two.

Once again, I realized how much of a cheat the trait Regeneration (C) was.

"But I don’t need it now, hehehe."

With the information I received from the system about the Soul-bound contract, I knew that my hunch to make Daisy mine was absolutely correct.

She was bound to me with her soul, and a connection had been established between us.

A connection—a path that allowed the exchange of various things between us that were previously considered impossible.

[Soul-bounded targets: Daisy (Tier 1)]

Unfortunately, since our connection was only Tier 1, the exchange of things like stats, skills, and traits was impossible.

But what was possible to exchange was still enough for me.

"Health, mana, and the ability to communicate telepathically."

Moreover, the best part was that if Daisy had to borrow these temporarily from me, she needed my permission, but I, as her master, could take them willingly.

In addition, the ability to sense her emotions as her master and the fact that she would always have this sense of affection towards me...

’Hehehe, it’s wonderful!’

Emotions were ever-changing, but the Soul-bound contract was like an anchor—a stop-loss point.

The fall of her affection for me—below this point—was impossible.

’Now I am even more confident for Rachael’s upcoming event... but it’s strange. Why am I feeling uneasy?’

I was an extremely cautious person; if I did something, I would do it thoroughly with all possibilities in mind, or not do it at all.

Therefore, the fact that my instinct told me something was wrong made me alert.

Not to mention, Rachael’s event would also be the time when I would be meeting the protagonist of the main world.

But his presence made it all the more strange.

Thinking of him, I was thrilled to teach that hypocrite a lesson. I knew his danger and was extremely cautious about him, but he didn’t make me uneasy.

It was only when I thought of Rachael that I felt uneasy.

’Looks like I have to make my plan more thorough this time.’

My eyes flashed with a determined glint, and vigilance appeared on my face after a long time.

Nevertheless, I soon shook my head and put all these concerns at the back of my mind.

’Rachael’s event still has a lot of time left. Let’s focus on the present for now.’

Keeping that in mind, I laid the still-peacefully sleeping Daisy back on the bed and removed her mask.

Then I took a shower and put on a loose, cozy robe before sitting beside her.

"Haa! Some free time."

Now I could finally do what I have been putting on hold for so long, and so I immediately asked in my mind.

’Hey, system, now what were you saying will happen to my body after I leave this world?’

[The body without a soul and destiny will cease to exist.]

’Ugh! This shit! Can’t you explain in simpler terms? The body won’t go into sleep mode until I am back? What about this world?’

[No host]

[The host’s body in this world will disintegrate into dust, and the world will continue to run like normal.]

[Tip: The host can still use Time Dilation Authority on this world.]

Phew~!

At least that worked.

But without my body, what benefit would it bring me to change the time of this world?

Sigh!

’This system really has some useless features.’

’No! Wait a minute.’

Something clicked in my mind, and my bad mood turned good as I asked with anticipation.

"What if I want to come back to this world in the future with some props?"

[The host’s real body will descend at that time.]

"Really? I see, hehehe."

Suddenly, a devious plan formed in my head, and I asked another question.

"What about Daisy? She can go back with me now; then what about her body?’

[Ding! Daisy is the heroine of this world, but her soul and destiny are connected to the host’s soul. Therefore, her body can exist in both worlds.]

"So she will travel with her body?"

[Yes host]

"What if she wants to come back here?"

[The host can use appropriate props or have her travel when Natural World Travel is possible.]

[Note: Daisy’s travel back to her world will not make the Natural World Travel go on cooldown.]

"What if she wants to come back to my main world?"

[The host can use appropriate props or call her back when Natural World Travel is not on cooldown.]

"I see, I see, I see. This is getting even more fun now."

This time, the system really gave me good news and also cleared some of my doubts.

Now, I could use these to make a new plan—a long-term one that would give me endless benefits.

’Hehehe, it looks like I need to end this world soon.’

Everything was almost done, and there was no need to waste much time here.

With that in mind, I looked down at my plastered hand.

It would be back to normal in a few days, but I need it to heal faster.

My eyes turned to my lovely Daisy, and a smile broke out on my face.

’When I could heal faster, why wait for so long?’

Without thinking twice, I instantly started using our connection to slowly drain her health.

She had the trait Regeneration (C), and I made full use of it by slowly transferring her health to me.

And as I did so, something started happening.

I noticed that my hand was getting better, while Daisy’s hand started trembling, and her expressions furrowed as if she were in deep pain.

Despite this, I kept chipping away at her health while periodically providing her with health recovery potions.

However, the more I used this method of healing myself, the more sinister my smile got.

For some reason, I was satisfied and delighted.

My lips were curved up so much that my eyes crinkled up in a grin as well.

’So this is Regeneration (C), it’s really good. I like this taste, hehehe.’
