Cursed Villainess’ Obsession

Recently, Emily has been concerned about Ken.

In fact, it wasn’t just recently; she had been worried about him every day since she fell for him.

But these past few days, she was particularly worried.

The reason was.

“Your hair looks a bit messy today.”

“Huh? Oh, really?”

“It’s completely different from usual. Let me fix it for you.”

“Um, I don’t think it’s that bad.”

Emily clenched her fist as she watched Mary gently run her fingers through Ken’s hair.

‘It’s just a casual touch.’

It hardly counted as tidying up, as she wasn’t even using a brush; she was simply playing with his hair with both hands.

What’s with that expression?

Moreover, Ken, unlike usual, seemed shy, his face turning red.

Is she a first-love student or something?

She felt a strong urge to run over and shout that.

But—

‘I have no right to say that…’

Emily knew very well what position she was in. She also remembered what she had done to Ken.

One day, she suddenly came to her senses and regretted her actions, feeling guilt.

Yet, she hadn’t apologized to Ken at all.

‘…But why has my heart suddenly changed?’

Just a little while ago, she had foolishly denied her feelings and treated Ken poorly.

However, on the day Ken returned to the academy after taking a break, thoughts of him had been on her mind since the morning.

The memories of how she had tormented him had begun to torment her.

As she continued to dwell on this sudden change of heart, she felt a strange sensation.

‘Why… is this happening?’

A sensation similar to a peculiar dizziness.

And a sound that echoed like a voice in her head.

Snip.

At the sound of scissors overlapping as if coming from somewhere, chills ran down her spine.
