No More Pain For This Villain.



" I want to end my engagement with Mary."

" Huh"

"Huh"

Soon silence followed,both of my parents were looking at me with their jaws dropped and eyes at their widest.

' they look too shocked.' I thought.

After a few minutes mom decided to break this awkward atmosphere by speaking.

"did you have a fight with her?" My mother asked .

 "Yeah, but this is not because of an mere argument, I want to end this all together."

"And what's the reason behind this? Is this another stunt to attract her attention?" Father asked me.

Fuu.

"No, I am not doing this for her attention or anything. I talked to her about our engagement and Mary made it clear that She doesn't want it to happen and I don't want to bother her."When I explained this, my father looked at his wife and they spoke in their minds.

' if they decline, i am leaving this house.' I don't want to end up dying by the hands of the protagonist.

After a few seconds,

" That's great!" Mom said and also showed one of those rare smiles.

" WHAT!?"

That took me by surprise and i stared at her with a dumbfounded face.

" Ain't you surprised?" I asked since i thought they would be the ones opposing my decision.

" Ruu~ your engagement is something we decided back in our days when we were adventurers. But you took it seriously and made a big issue out of it."

" And that girl Mary , the way she treated you for the last few years was too much but we kept quiet for your happiness. Now you want to end this, so we are happy for you my son, right dear."

Mom just nodded her head .

" Huh"

". "

"Huhhhhhhhhhnn!!!"

My mind was blown with shock.

So this engagement was just like those movie scenes where parents of the hero and heroine promise each other to get their kids to marry each other.

And the previous owner of this body was so stupid to make such a small thing into a bug issue that resulted him committing suicide in the end.

' how stupid! '

The next day.

Chirp chirp.

some sweet chirping reached my ears.

i got up from my bed and looked around and found a small bird on the desk of my room .

Yawn.

" How did it get inside ?" maybe it got in here by the window.

Turning my head I saw that the window was open but i remember that it was closed before.

Rub rub

I rubbed my eyes and looked at the bird again.

The bird is just as big as my palm. It had azure and sky-blue coloured feathers. The bird was staring at me with its unusually dark and void-like eyes.

Step.

Flap flap.

I took a step forward to get a closer look at it but it immediately detected my movements and flew away by flapping its wings .

Sigh.

" Let's get going."

I went inside the bathroom and took a shower.

After getting out of the shower. I searched for clothes in my wardrobe and found a black shirt and black baggy pants.

' these are the only decent clothes in this whole wardrobe, I gotta buy some new ones.' I think that guy wasn't interested in fashion.

After changing into the picked clothes. I tied my hair in the bun again.

" Now i look like a decent guy ."

Then I left my room.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

After Coming down, I found the breakfast lined up and my mom and dad were already eating.

They sensed my arrival and turned their head in my direction.

Slip.

I saw bread falling from my fathers mouth and my mom placed it back into his mouth again.

" That girl is gonna regret rejecting you." I know what my mother is trying to say but i don't think that's going to happen because i know how much Mary hates Ren.

" Good morning mom and dad."

" Good morning"

"Good morning Ruu~."

After greeting them I also joined the table

Bite.

And the food was fabulous, it was so delicious that I took five servings in a row.

 .

.

.

Completing the meal my father said,

" Let's go."

" Yeah"

" Have a good day"

Then i left the house with my father.

My father is going to our shop and i am going to Mary's house. Both the places were in the same direction so we were walking side by side.

.

.

.

It was quiet until my father asked me.

" Why did you change your mind about this whole engagement thing ?"

When he asked me, I thought for a while and .,

" I don't think i am worthy of her." When i said this my father stopped in tracks and looked me dead in the eyes and then he spoke

" That's not true!" Father said,

I didn't say anything back just waited for him to finish.

" It's not your fault , you are worthy but the person you love is not meant to be with you.

listen, sometimes you fall in love with the wrong person." My father looked at me and said these things.

" S-so it's not my fault for loving her, right?" I asked while my voice kept breaking and i can feel my eyes getting wet

" yeah, it's not your fault." When my father said this I could feel tears streaming down my eyes but i immediately wiped them and we kept walking.

I know that feelings aren't mine but Rens.

From inside Ren always blamed himself for loving Mary and thought that loving Mary was a bad thing.

But when my father told me that this all wasn't my fault, I could feel these feelings at ease a little.

.

.

.

After a while we were in front of our antique shop. This shop is in the middle of the business district and is very famous for selling unique collectibles and adventure related equipment.

"Bye"

" Best of luck."

After dropping my father at the shop i kept walking until i was in front of Mary's house.

I got near the front door and pressed the doorbell.

" Coming ~"

Step step.

Then the door opened and a silver haired mature beauty stood in front of me. Since she was shorter than me she had to look upward to see my face.

" Good morning Mrs Marilyn."

" "

" Mrs Marilyn?"

"Ruu~? "

" Yeah, it's me."

' haa this bloody handsome face, why everyone's getting surprised because of a mere change in hairstyle ' it's getting irritating now.

Fuu.

" Can I come in?" I asked keeping my voice as heavy as I could since i am here to discuss something important.

" Yesh!" She said,

Huh.

" Pffffffff hahahaha"

"I-i just bit my tongue, please don't laugh"

When Mrs Marilyn said ' yesh ' it was damn hilarious, because it was completely opposite of her cool and mature image, in short

' it was adorable.'

" Hmph come inside." Saying this Mrs Marilyn turned around and walked inside.

' her ears are still red due to embarrassment '

After calming my laughter i followed Mrs Marilyn and entered the house .

" Sit in the living room I'll get some tea for you." Saying this she left for the kitchen.

' oh she s back to normal huh.'

"Okay"

A few minutes later Mrs Marilyn brought some snacks and tea for me and placed them at the table and sat on the opposite chair in front of me .

" Where's Mary?' I asked since I want her to be here.

" Oh, she is in the dojo just wait a second I'll go and call her." Mary's mom got up from her seat and left, only to return alone after a few minutes.

" She said she doesn't want to meet me,right?" I guessed since she's always like this.

Mary's mom didn't respond but nodded her head.

' maybe she's ashamed of her daughter's behaviour.' i thought.

" Mrs Marilyn i have something to say." I straightened my posture and spoke carefully.

" What is it?" Perhaps sensing the change in my demeanor, she asked albeit hesitatingly

"I don't have a choice since Mary isn't here so i hope you tell her what i am trying to say ". I took a deep breath and chose my word carefully for the next sentence i am about to say.

" Mrs Marilyn I am breaking my engagement with your daughter."

Yes, i didn't say that i want to but instead i told her that i am breaking it off.
