Reincarnated as a Villain That was Killed Before the Game Starts

"Meiko, you're too good."

"No, 'cause I didn't think those two would start saying that."

I had promised to go out with Ixis this afternoon.

They asked me out because there was a nice place.

Ixis seemed to prefer places with lots of nature and places with busy and interesting shops.

The place that brought me across the space was a creek in the woods.

The two of us sit on a slightly larger rock.

The sound of running water makes my ears feel good.

"Are you glad those two told me you like them so much"

For some reason, Ixis' voice was grumpy.

"Of course, right? 'Cause when we met, Elliot's eyes were dead, and how he hated Feather, huh? Something that feels like what you've done wasn't in vain."

I say it thinking today is a very good day.

Ixis, sitting beside him, suddenly reached for his cheek.

Some angry look approached me.

I feel restless in my hot eyes.

Ixis is close, after all.

Ever since I realized I liked it, I even get so loud and troubled that my heart is about to break for such an unloved fling.

"I like Mako, don't I? Yet oh yeah, when you make me happy to be confessed in front of you...... jealous"

"Huh?"

Ixis words like obstinate.

Unexpectedly doubting my ears, then I understand what it means and my face turns red.

"Eh, that...!

"I'm sorry, you shouldn't have said this. I was the one who told you to just stay on your side."

Apologize to me in a hurry and Ixis looks spicy for some reason.

Then he stood up from the rock and offered me his hand.

"Look, Meiko. Time to go home."

Although Ixis seemed to behave as usual.

Those eyes were shaking painfully.

I realize now that you could have made me anxious.

Back from the dragon. Ixis' attitude toward me was almost nothing different than before he went inside.

It's not as sweet as it was when I was pretending to be my lover, but it still makes me nice enough.

I can see you like me, and you were looking at me.

And then you came with me.

Being on the side of Ixis is so exciting and embarrassing.

Instead of making me look like a lover, I could be less nervous or even get away with it.

"Oh, you know, Ixis! I really like Ixis!

I have to tell you right here, squeeze my fist and scream all the time.

I was so embarrassed that I closed my eyes.

……

No response from Ixis.

If I slowly opened my eyes, Ixis was opening his eyes and solidifying.

"Ixis?"

I don't know why you look like that and I call your name.

"... Huh!

Ixis' face slowly broke and she looked like she was going to cry.

I'm so motivated that I'm going to fall back, I'm going to be hugged.

"Ixis!?

"... too happy to know what to do"

I hear Ixis squeaking in my ear confused.

I didn't think you'd be so happy.

"I exaggerate too much if I exaggerate. I generally replied properly on the day of the month of fame, so you don't have to be anxious."

I accidentally lit up a little bit, and when I said that, Ixis got my body away from me.

"Did that... mean you liked me?

Ixis looked confused.

I wondered what you were talking about now.

"I think I said I wanted to be with Ixis...?

"Meiko is sweet, so I thought you just did me a favor... Because they didn't even tell me they liked it."

To my words whining, Ixis covers his mouth.

The face is stained red.

My eyes were a little moist.

"Like... Didn't I tell you?

"I didn't say."

If you lean your neck unintentionally, Ixis whines in a slightly obstinate tone.

"If it was both thoughts...... I've been bored for the past few months and I look like an idiot. You didn't have to be patient or jealous or feel bad."

"Oh, sorry, Ixis"

I get up in a hurry and peek into Ixis's face telling him like he was weak.

The water runs safely all the way around the middle of the thigh, and the feel of the little stone hitting the back of the foot hurts a little.

Apparently, I've been plaguing Ixis quite a bit.

"But, Ixis, you can read my emotions, right? You didn't know how I felt?

"Mako's emotions weren't so different after I confessed, even before I confessed. I'd be thrilled if I came closer, and favored me. That's why I couldn't judge you."

To the pure question, Ixis answers with a wrinkle between his brows.

That means I was as thrilled with Ixis as I am now before he confessed, right?

I knew it, but the person asks me and I get embarrassed.

"Meiko."

The sound of Ixis calling his name feels like something special.

My right hand, Ixis led me to my own scales.

"...... eh"

When his fingertips touched the scales, Ixis shook his body tingly and leaked a slightly painful exhale.

The colourful glossy voice gathers heat all over my face unexpectedly.

"You see? The scales are responding to Meiko."

The color of the reverse scales swings.

The dark cherry blossom color was tinted as if the heart were beating to send blood all over the body.

It seemed like the reverse scale was telling me that Ixis was also thrilled with me, as I was thrilled with Ixis.

"I've been worried that the scales won't stain, and now this is the way it is. After dyeing it, I finally realized it was normal that it had never been dyed before."

Like mocking herself all the time, Ixis laughs.

"Whoever I've dated so far, my emotions haven't moved like they did when I was with Mako. Whether the other person leaves or gets along with someone other than me. I was easily given up. Like when I decided to let go of Mako, I didn't suffer at all"

All as Ouga says.

I never really liked someone.

Ixis squeaks that he's a terrible guy now that I think about it.

"... Since when, have you been dyed?

"At first, I thought Mako was a hassle, but only a hassle. But at some point, I felt superiority that Meiko was counting on me. Emotions and weaknesses were all comfortable because they showed it to me."

The scales are below the throat, in an invisible position from the self.

Ixis, which made it harder to see the undyed scales, was deliberately trying to keep it out of sight.

Ever since Ixis locked himself in different spaces, he never seemed to see the scales backwards.

When I thought about it retrospectively, it stained me... and I said that I didn't know the moment I liked it.

"Because I put him in a room in a different space or let him scale backwards... I think he was stained when he went to the kingdom of the Beast Man. I wonder why you didn't realize you liked Mako when you were that far away?

That's what Ixis said, just as he couldn't understand himself.

They pinch my cheeks with both hands.

The back of my chest seemed to scorch in my hot eyes and I didn't calm down.

"Me, Ixis... I'm only bothering you, right?

"I think you're happy to be bothered, so you have to. I've never seen anything like it before."

Ixis frowns at an inquiry that also combines lighting.

I knew that look would come from the lights, just like mine.

"It's frustrating when Meiko relies on someone other than me or gets along. With me, when Augusto gets back, make Ougaoga look happy. Every time I saw it, I felt the back of my stomach upset. Even though I'm feeling that way, I'm pissed at Mako for laughing fun."

As if confirming his feelings one by one, Ixis spins words.

Ixis also seems to be biting the bitterness somewhere.

I'm surprised that's what you thought.

"I didn't realize this was jealous until Augusto told me. I've never been there before. I don't even know how I feel today, and I look happy to be confessed to Elliot and Feather. Mako has been patiently watching how good it would be if he could say it was mine. So... I want you to reassure me properly so I don't have to be jealous"

Ixis tells me he doesn't want to feel this way anymore.

I'm staring straight at you.

"I like Mako. Mako... what do you think of me?

Ixis asked me, as if it were a partition.

My eyes with anticipation were waiting for an answer.

Ixis likes me.

That makes me feel fluffy and happy in the back of my chest.

I feel like tickling to my ears and screaming right now.

But he told me he liked it right in front of me, and I also saw that the scales were reacting to me.

I was so happy that some of me was still confused as to whether that was really about me.

Was it so embarrassing to tell them how you felt?

Stuck in my throat, no voice coming out.

I'm going to be swayed by the eyes that transmit the fever.

"Wow, me too."

That's all I finally said, but Ixis is waiting for the words to continue.

If you're an Ixis who can read emotions, you should be aware of the answer.

Seemed like they were telling me I couldn't do that.

Ixis packs a step away and peeks into my face.

What's next? Like that.

My heart gets faster to the closeness that I'll be in touch with in a little while.

"… I like Ixis…"

As small as I thought, if you say so to squeeze it out.

Break your face like Ixis relieved you.

My eyes look at me with a sweet color, come closer.

As well done, Ixis has kissed me.

"Huh... Huh"

Exhales of colorful ixis, like coming out of your nose.

I thought I was being asked for a rough and steep kiss.

The fact that you're obsessed with me makes me happy.

I can hug Ixis all the time.

Though it conveys pluckiness and relieves me when I'm wrapped in its scent, I still don't feel the thrill and the sound of my heart.

"I like Mako too."

Finally got it.

Ixis whispered in his ear with such a sweet voice that he couldn't wait to be loved.
