Became a Squirrel to Save the Villain 60

‘Sorry, Johann.’

I was smiling brightly, but I sighed inwardly as I looked at Johann’s surprised face.

‘He must be very surprised…….’

I couldn’t contact Johann in advance, fearing surveillance from the temple.

It was obvious that they had planted a dangerous spy and were watching me and Johann.

Also, I had no choice but to give the message, ‘She pretends to leave because she can’t stand her temper.’

To carry out the plan, I had to leave the Medest Estate, but the only safe place for me to stay in the capital was the Hilrad Estate.

“First, come in quickly.”

Johann, who must have been very surprised by the unexpected visit, smiled brightly without showing any displeasure.

“And for a few days.”

He gently wrapped his hand around my hair and said,

“You can stay forever.”

I could feel the people around me exclaiming.

Well, it was definitely a sight to see from early in the morning.

In any case, outwardly, we were lovers about to be engaged, and Johann was playing the role of being completely out of his mind for me.

And he was showing the ‘hero who is out of his mind in love’ right in front of the mansion, so how interesting would it be?

“Actually, I’ve always been waiting.”

Johann continued sweetly, like a man more in love than anyone else.

“For the days when you and I can stay here comfortably together.”

I felt it even when I was young, but Johann had a decadent atmosphere when he deliberately smiled with his eyes.

I felt like I was stepping into a deep swamp with my own feet, but I took Johann’s hand and entered the Hilrad Estate as it was.

“Welcome.”

The front door closed behind my back with a thud.

At the same time, I was freed from the countless gazes that had been focused on me.

“Hoo.”

I took a deep breath and whispered to Johann.

“I’m really sorry, Johann. Were you surprised? But I couldn’t help it……. I really only need a secluded empty room. I will never bother you.”

“No.”

Johann smiled and shook his head.

“I was guessing that something had happened.”

Indeed, rumors were spreading throughout the capital that ‘the real Yurika Medest’ had come to the Medest Estate.

Unlike the ‘fake’ that everyone knew, she even brought the baby clothes she was wearing when she disappeared.

Of course, Johann would have heard about it too.

“Honestly, I wanted to storm into the Medest Estate right away…….”

Johann said, harmonizing a sinister voice with a pretty smile.

“I barely held back in case you had any plans. Getting rid of that scammer can be done anytime.”

“Um…….”

There was not a hint of doubt in Johann’s words. I hesitated and asked.

“Johann, don’t you think I’m a fake?”

“What?”

“What I said at the banquet could be a lie. You didn’t hear it directly.”

Even though I was speaking carefully, my voice trembled slightly.

“I might have wanted to continue living as Medest’s adopted daughter, so I might have made up that Libena or Theodore said such things.”

I was the only one who overheard their conversation.

Currently, there was no other way to prove that I was a real Medest bloodline.

Johann had only heard my words. So, I thought that he might not believe me like other people.

But Johann called Lizzie a ‘scammer’ without a hint of doubt. Seeing his eyes, which seemed to completely believe in me, I felt strange somewhere.

‘Still…… I thought he would accept me because of our old relationship.’

I thought it was time to stop selling old ties.

Because I felt like I was causing too much trouble.

“Yurika.”

Johann said with a quiet smile.

“I will believe whatever you say. So, don’t have such useless thoughts.”

Even though we were already out of the sight of the onlookers, Johann still kept me close to his side like a lover.

It was a bit difficult to suddenly get away from this atmosphere, so I smiled quietly and looked at his face, which was close at hand.

“And a secluded empty room? You should use the best room. I told you. The Hilrad Estate has been waiting for you. It won’t feel unfamiliar, will it?”

Well, it was familiar because I used to wander around as a squirrel.

Even now, my feet were entering the estate without hesitation.

“Did Meriel Medest finally kick you out?”

Johann asked in a soft voice.

“Huh?”

“You cared so much for those people…… In the end, they didn’t even know your kindness and made you leave the Medest Estate on your own…….”

His eyes slowly sank.

“I’m kind of grateful, but I feel very bad.”

“Ah!”

I hurriedly shook my head.

“Absolutely not, nothing like that. Don’t worry.”

Then I smiled.

“I just…… have a plan.”

A plan to catch a mastermind and make a big profit.

A huge plan that our sisters came up with for the first time.

“To do that, I had to be out in a safe place…… and this was the only place I could think of. I’m really sorry, Johann. I couldn’t think of any other friends besides you.”

“What are you talking about? Don’t apologize anymore.”

Johann frowned and shook his head.

“I only have you as a friend.”

Um.

That seems to be a serious matter in its own way.

“And…… I’m sorry, but I didn’t bring any luggage because I was pretending to leave in a hurry. Could you possibly get me clothes worn by maids of similar build to me, or something like that……?”

I asked carefully and finally sighed.

No matter how I looked at it, I seemed to be acting too shamelessly.

Perhaps my sincerity was conveyed, Johann swallowed slightly and swept up his bangs.

“Yurika, it’s not a joke that the Hilrad Estate has been waiting for you.”

Then he sighed softly and took my arm and led me.

“I wasn’t going to show you, but…… I feel sorry that you’re so sorry…….”

“Huh?”

As I moved as he led me, I saw a large and splendid door.

And the moment I opened that door, my mouth dropped open.

“That is…….”

Johann sighed, embarrassed.

“I didn’t know you would have already humanized…… I wanted you to be comfortable for the 50 days you receive my magic…….”

I remained silent without saying a word.

Various high-quality sawdust, as well as several golden hamster wheels and all kinds of chestnut tree models…….

Johann’s words that he welcomed me were sincere.

I felt a strange emotion that it was a room for Momo, not Yurika.

“……Um, shall we go to the dining room for breakfast?”

“Y-yes.”

I answered urgently because it felt like I would have to eat chestnuts here if I stayed still.

“Let’s go quickly.”

One thing was certain.

The renewed cohabitation with Johann seemed to be very different from before.

* * *

“Ah.”

The morning Yurika ran away from home, Lizzie narrowed her eyes and stood in front of the room Yurika used to use.

“You really…… didn’t have to do this…….”

Lizzie sobbed as if she was very sorry, but she was cheering inwardly.

‘Honestly, I would never leave if I were her, she must be very proud.’

How good is the position of Medest’s daughter, but she couldn’t even last a few days because someone came to threaten her position and left.

In a way, she had no perseverance.

‘The High Priest was right.’

Honestly, I was half doubtful when she brought the baby clothes. And the moment I entered the Medest Estate, I gave up half of it.

Because it would be stranger not to endure in such an easy and comfortable environment.

But Yurika caused a ruckus for two days and then left, exhausted on her own.

‘Of course, it’s true that I acted annoyingly…….’

Lizzie worked hard to create a situation where Yurika would be kicked out as planned.

Asking for a private meeting and pretending to fall down and cry alone.

Tearing the baby clothes and blaming Yurika.

‘Honestly, I don’t think she would feel wronged?’

But it wasn’t like Yurika was always unfairly treated.

There were many cases where she stepped on her ankle with her shoe when she fell alone, or hit her shoulder ‘by mistake.’

‘I feel like I’m being attacked, but not really?’

Anyway, it was enough to kick her out in the end.

It was a bit unsightly to run to the Hilrad Estate, where she has a lover, but still, Lizzie’s role was to get her out of the Medest Estate.

“It can’t be helped.”

And while I was acting difficult in the place where Yurika left, Meriel sighed and approached.

“No matter how much I tried to stop her, she left.”

Lizzie wiped away her tears slightly and looked at Meriel with a hopeful face.

Now that Yurika, who is playing the role of her younger sister, is gone, it was only a matter of time before she captured the heart of the kind and gentle Meriel.

In the meantime, Meriel kept her distance from her more than she thought, but wouldn’t that be because she felt sorry for Yurika?

“Then, Lizzie.”

Indeed, Meriel looked at her with a slightly sad face and said.

“Since Yurika is not here, shall we talk for a while?”
