Villain Simulator-Chapter 74: How About Another World?

Time flew by.

And it was only a few minutes before midnight that I was able to get myself completely healed.

Naturally, since I was using Daisy’s health for myself, she didn’t wake up.

The night passed just like that, and the next day came—this time with a big blast for the world.

『Breaking News!!』

Since the volume of the television was intentionally turned up by me, the lady host’s shout became even louder.

『The attack on the Hunter’s Academy...』

Once again, she started relaying all the information about yesterday’s event in detail.

The source of this c𝐨ntent is freeweɓnovēl.coɱ.

No matter where you saw it, this news was being broadcast on every news channel repeatedly.

Totally uninteresting.

But what intrigued me was the news of the Chaos Dungeon, which was cleared within minutes by high-level hunters along with the headmistress.

’As expected.’

I had no doubt that, if not for the safety of the cadets and instructors, it might have been over even sooner.

That was just how strong high-level hunters were.

Rustle!

Something on the bed behind me moved at that precise moment, probably as a result of the TV’s loud voice disturbing it.

But I ignored it all and focused on the news while sitting at the end of my bed cross-legged as the image on the TV screen changed.

『Most of you must have heard it already, but let me tell you again. It’s this girl—Daisy!—who was responsible for the terrorist attack on the Hunter Academy.』

『Not only Instructor Isaac from yesterday, but multiple survivors had said the same... and today with us, fortunately, we have one of those lucky survivors.』

Following that, a stern-looking blonde woman appeared for the interview.

Surprisingly, she was the sole survivor of the two people who interrogated Daisy yesterday.

『The moment I saw that girl, I knew that something was wrong with her...』

She was playing the good old Sherlock Holmes, pointing out little details about Daisy and blaming her more and more.

As if her whole motive to come here was to solidify Daisy’s status as the real culprit of the catastrophe.

To be honest, it doesn’t make sense for anyone to blame Daisy when she wasn’t even found out and nothing was proved against her.

What if Daisy was also a victim?

Unfortunately, this interrogator lady seemed to not even care about that fact.

But it was understandable.

The incident this time was big enough, and it showed the carelessness of the staff and the lack of security measures at the academy.

Which earned the people at the top a lot of hate from the public.

And now they needed someone to take the blame and divert all that hate to something else.

Coincidentally, Daisy was the perfect scapegoat in this scenario, as she really showed all signs of being the one who brought forth this catastrophe.

Dring! Dring!

At that moment, my phone rang, and suddenly, a wide smile appeared on my face after taking a look at the caller’s name.

’Ho! Still so persistent. Let you be more desperate, hehe.’

Chuckling to myself, I ignored the call, put my phone on silent, and focused back on the news.

The interview was over; the interrogator who had been speaking until now had left, and the focus was back on the lady host.

『My dear people, as you all heard just now... it was enough to conclude that Daisy was the true terrorist. But...』

Daisy was the scapegoat, but blaming her alone wasn’t enough to appease the public.

『The fact that the security of the academy was so lax to have allowed a terrorist to enter, and that too when an incident had already happened... we need answers for it!』

She shouted on the screen, and I smiled brightly, looking at her.

’That’s where my cherry on top comes into play.’

And as expected.

『To give answers to all these, I would like to invite our second guest of the day... The headmistress of the Hunter Academy, herself.』

Following the call, a haggard-looking woman in her iconic red mage robe and hat appeared on the stage.

Dark spots were visible below her eyes, and she looked exhausted as if she hadn’t slept for ages.

Nevertheless, there was a fierce determination in her eyes.

Interestingly, though, instead of going towards the lady host, she came in front of the camera.

On the television screen, she lowered her head, and her waist bent 90° as she deeply apologized.

『There’s nothing I have to say other than that... I am extremely sorry.』

She stayed like that for a few minutes.

But when she lifted her face again, the exhaustion had vanished from her face.

In its place, a sharp, ruthless look appeared.

Just one look on her face was enough to tell that she was furious—extremely furious.

『As my punishment, I will resign from my post as the headmistress of the academy. I will become a hunter once again and hunt down those criminals.』

『Doesn’t matter if they hide even in the depths of the world; I will find them all and make them pay for their sins.』

Looking at her blazing red eyes with a fire burning in them, even I was taken aback.

’Oooh! I am so sacred.’

Pfft~!

’Hahaha, a looser bitch.’

But that was all.

’If I am even afraid of such a bitch, then I just need to go die in a bucket of water somewhere.’

’Huh, catch me if you dare to, bitch.’

I mocked her inwardly, and the news session continued with the ending of how the academy was closed for a month this time.

This was all I needed to see.

Click!

And so, I shut off the TV with the remote and leaned back on the bed when, all of a sudden, a faint sound of some sobbing fell in my ear.

"Sniff... sniff."

The source of the crying noise became visible to me as her face was reflected on the black TV screen.

Immediately, without hesitation, I turned around as the messy face of Daisy, who had tears streaming down her cheeks, appeared in front of me.

"Daisy!"

I shouted, and my eyes widened in shock as I rushed towards her, cupping her face and wiping her tears with my hands.

"When did you..."

But before I could say anything more, Daisy fell into my arms and burst into tears.

"Uwaaaa...! Sob! Sob!"

A loud cry of deep anguish escaped her mouth.

Her tears wet my white shirt, but I didn’t push her away this time.

Instead, I pulled her trembling self deeper into my arms, rubbed her back, and allowed her to vent all her pain comfortably in my embrace.

However, although my face had a concerned expression, there was no empathy or care towards her in my eyes.

Only a playful look.

’I have fulfilled my promise, my dear; I have made the world hate you, hehehe.’

While I chuckled evilly to myself, Daisy shed all her tears.

It took a couple of minutes, but eventually she calmed down.

Realizing that, I gently pushed her, and looking into her eyes and wiping her tears, I asked

"Are you feeling better now?"

"Umm."

She nodded her head meekly.

"Good, want something to eat?"

However, instead of an answer, what I got was a question in response.

"Why?"

She started loudly, but the more she spoke, the more incomprehensibly low and rushed her voice got.

"Why did this happen to me? I... I am sorry.. I should have listened to you... but now everything is over... I have nowhere to go... There’s no place left for me in this world."

Nevertheless, I understood everything, but for all her questions and complaints, I gave her only one reply.

"Since there’s no place left in this world for you, then come with me to another world."

"What?!!!"

General POV:

In a typical middle-class house.

A few minutes earlier.

"The number you have dialed is not answering."

Beep! Beep!

As soon as that mechanical female voice and the sound of the call being disconnected fell into Richard’s ears, his expression twisted even more.

"Shit! Shit! Shit!"

He cursed out loud and clutched his phone tightly.

"Daisy’s definitely with that bastard; I know it."

Furious, he threw his phone on the ground, which immediately shattered into pieces.

Bang!

But when he saw the broken phone, suddenly a thought popped up in his mind, pulling him back to his senses.

"Shit!"

Richard cursed again, but this time not in rage but in nervousness, tension, and fear.

Without a second thought, he knelt down on the floor and started collecting the pieces until he found the SIM card, which he then immediately inserted in a spare phone.

"Phew~! Fortunately,"

And it was only when he saw it was still working that he sighed in relief and, in exhaustion, knelt down on the floor again, mumbling to himself while gritting his teeth.

"Bastard Adrian, I swear to God I will make you know hell if you even touch a single hair of my Daisy."

Richard was a simp, but he wasn’t a fool.

He had already seen such a situation like yesterday in his past life.

He knew Daisy had fallen into a trap and had become the core of the dungeon, and he knew that there was a loophole to change the core of the Dungeon.

However, the only person who could change the core of the Dungeon was the Chaos worshipper who created that situation.

And given all that had happened until now, Richard was sure that it was all Adrian’s doing.

Consequently, he had been trying to contact Adrian since yesterday.

"That bastard, he’s doing it intentionally."

But every time, Richard got the same response.

"The number you have dialed is not answering."

Finally, this time, Richard became extremely desperate, and the last thread holding his sanity together broke.

The only reason he hadn’t gone to Adrian’s house until now was because of the high-level hunters who would be protecting his house.

But now no more.

It was now do or die.

For Daisy, Richard couldn’t wait any longer.

However, just when he had made the determination to go to Adrian’s house and make that bastard spit out everything, that...

Dring! Dring!

His phone rang.

The call was from an unknown number, which he immediately picked up with trembling hands as an extremely anxious and scared voice, as if running for her life, fell in his ears.

Unfortunately or fortunately, it was the same voice he had been dying to hear.

"R-Richard! Help me!!! Adrian... He... is..."

Sadly, before Daisy could complete her words,

"Ahhhhhhh!!!"

A loud scream came out of the phone as the call disconnected.

Beep! Beep!

"Daisy!!!!"
