Cursed Villainess’ Obsession

Fortunately, I was able to meet Diana again quickly.

Unlike when Emily had fled upon seeing me transformed into a woman, we currently had Raphne, the expert in chasing after people, on our side.

Raphne chased after Diana, who was running away in tears, and quickly caught her, bringing her back to me.

With her scruff held firmly in Raphne’s grip, Diana sparkled with a look that seemed to ask for praise, resembling a hunting dog.

“Ugh, sniff, uuh...”

“What did I do wrong?”

“Just don’t ask anything...”

After that, we arrived at the village that Adrian had designated for us in advance.

This village is quite a distance from the prison, and Adrian said we would have more freedom from pursuit here.

After booking a room at the inn, we went down to the tavern on the first floor.

While enjoying the long-missed food from outside, Diana drank repeatedly until her face turned red.

‘What on earth did I do?’

I was sure I hadn’t done anything.

So, I felt wronged.

If I had done something to hurt her, I would gladly kneel down and apologize.

“Looks like that was the case.”

“Did Mary notice, too?”

“Well, you become sensitive to foxes near your fiancé.”

“I realized it right away in the shower room.”

“Hehe, we all thought the same.”

For some reason, the others seemed to know something I didn’t.

But when I asked, they wouldn’t answer.

“Are you telling us to talk about that? Ken really...”

“No, I really don’t know anything...”

“You don’t need to know. Just let it go.”

At Emily’s firm statement, Mary and Raphne nodded in agreement, prompting Diana to order another drink.

It seems I won’t be able to understand why she is acting this way for a while.

I’ll have to find a way to coax Raphne later and ask her about it.

‘But there’s something more important to discuss.’

I decided to focus on the main issue, diverting my attention from the useless curiosity.

That is the method of crafting the Demon Sword to defeat the former Demon King.

“Diana, I’m sorry to bring this up when you’re feeling down.”

“Ugh, what is it?”

“Actually, there’s a reason I broke out of prison with you.”
