The Villainess Comes Back in Time to Find the One Who Truly Loved Her One Week Before Dying

One morning I was walking along the coast near my home, and I found something that looked like someone who had drifted to the coast.

Whether it is the effects of the current, fragments of shipwrecks or the bodies of those who lost their lives in accidents at sea may rarely flow to this coast.

And what drifted down to the coast today, it felt like I saw it, definitely people, it was also like a young woman.... you're definitely dead. It hasn't worked at all since just now...

(... I need to check my condition and contact where I should be, more than I have become the first discoverer...)

Having thought of it that way, I desperately contained my fear and approached the fearful body as I prayed for their blessings in my heart.

To my surprise, the person I thought was the body was still alive. I was unconscious, all wet, and everywhere I wore white clothes with bloody red and black stains on whether I was injured somewhere, but I was still alive.

It was already a bug breath, but it didn't feel like it was going to catch my breath soon.

I held her up and hurried her home. There was also a hand to take her straight to the hospital and the Mage's Association, but both were a little distance from the coast, so I first decided it was more appropriate to carry her to my own home and store, which was just around the corner, and to provide first aid in a selling potion.

I was even more surprised when I checked her condition at home. She was badly injured in two parts of her body. Both were due to blades, which seemed to have slashed his back diagonally from his right shoulder to his left flank and further stabbed him a little above his left chest. The stab wound was piercing.

Besides, it was probably only a miracle that she was still alive because she fell into the ocean with serious illness and flowed to near us.

Of all the potions I had left in the store, I fed her a large quantity of the finest supposedly most effective and applied it to her wounds at all costs. Glad I just bought it recently.

I thought, "Now you're sure of a big deficit this month," but I wasn't going to leave someone dying in front of me who might be able to help. … may be disqualified as a merchant.

After the first aid was completed, I also thought about carrying her straight to the hospital and the Mage's Association, but by the fact that her breathing had stabilized a little and another reason I decided to see how she was doing at home for a while.

Another reason for this was that I found a disastrous red Sarpent tattoo from her left arm.

Her arms to shoulders were covered with various tattoos, but one of the most striking of them was their red Sarpent tattoos, carved in such a way as to wrap around the entire left arm.

"Red Serpent," a group of pirates who have fallen into the sea everywhere and are feared all over the world. I've heard stories of red salpent tattoos carved somewhere in my body that prove to be part of it.

"Isn't it just the name? I want a little more twist," I was the one making such a small fool of myself when I heard the story, but I didn't think a person would show up with that red Sarpent tattoo in front of me.

She has some kind of situation. Unless she's in critical condition again from now on, it's better to show it to the hospital and the Mage's Association after hearing about her circumstances, I thought so.

... Now that I think about it, maybe I've had a crush on her since then.

"If you turn Atashi over to the Knights or the Vigilante, you should be able to receive a fair amount of money. That's a thank you from Atashi."

A few days later, miraculously recovered, she has said that to me. As expected, she was a member of the Pirates Red Serpent, and she was a person at the executive level.

I was betrayed by a man I trusted during a naval battle, slashed from behind and then kicked down by the sea, to this day.

She also seemed to have a good amount of bounty on her neck in our country, and by making that available to me, she wanted to thank me for saving her life.

"... um, I don't know how much you'll get, but that's probably a deficit..."

"... sorry, that's all I can do for you right now..."

That's how she smiles at herself. When I think about it, this guy, the one I trust, betrayed me, and he just about killed me. What is it? Does it also make you mock yourself?

"There's more, isn't there?

……

"If I handed Mr. Camilla over to the Knights or something, would Mr. Camilla be executed?

"... Probably"

"That means you thought you could die to thank me, right?

"... that's all I can do."

"I do. Work for me. Better than dying, right?

"... Huh?

"Camilla Wellington of Red Serpent died in a naval battle the other day. And now in front of me is a woman with amnesia who has forgotten everything but the name Camilla, who flew to the coast of this town with a major injury the other day.... How about this?

……

"And she can't go without her memory, so she started helping the store I run, the first discoverer and benefactor of her life."

"... why?

"Why?

There's nothing in it for you.

"I do."

She stares at me silently and with a sharp gaze. Probably that one. "Say what's in it for you."

... I'm so scared. That's just a former executive of the famous pirates, not half intimidating... Don't you think you can just kill people with your gaze? This guy.

But I need to tell you something grand without constricting here!

"It's a wonderful advantage to be with a woman you fell in love with at first sight all the time"

"... Huh?

◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆

"... Hey Glenn, what was so good about Atashi?

"Hmm? What's the sudden matter?

A few months after that, I'm in a great pillow talk right now.

stroke her left arm. The red Sarpent tattoo there was well topped and now it was a red and black snake tattoo.

"He said he was in love at first sight, but that's not true. The first time I saw him, he was almost like a corpse."

"... well, you did think it was a body at first"

"Right? Besides, Atashi, she's not a special beauty, and she's such a dirty body.... Honestly, I have no idea what would have been better for you."

Embrace her and look through the big scar left on her back. I can never tell her in person, but I loved this scar of hers, too.

It wasn't strange to be dead, no, rather because it's proof that I saved her life, which was dead and natural.

With this scar, me and her are connected, and as long as I have this scar, she should stay by my side... because it seems so.

... I know this feeling is ungrateful and ugly monopoly craving.

"She's a special beauty for me, and she's the most beautiful body I've ever had."

……

"... and one more thing. I don't know what to say,... um, in a nutshell, it's vitality."

"Vitality?

"Yes, vitality. Camilla, you'd have been miraculously resurrected from a wound that would have definitely been dead if it had been normal."

"No, that's because Glenn spared no effort in using the finest potions,"

"That's not true. If it was normal in the first place, he'd be dead by the time I found him."

"Well, that may be... But is vitality an element of love for a woman at first sight?

"... see, I, my mother, was sick."

"... right"

My mother has been ill for a long time and died of worsening illness when I was thirteen. Later, my father, who was in grief every day, also died five years later to follow my mother.

"If Camilla could come back from that state, I'm sure she wouldn't have left me to die, no matter what."

"... oh, Atashi's life is already Glenn's. I won't die without your permission."

Hold her hard.

"Thank you. You'll always be with me, Camilla"

"... ok, Atashi will always be by your side until you feel better"

It must be the moment when my life runs out. So, a selfish favor, but live longer than I do, Camilla.
