You've Got The Wrong House, Villain Chapter 34

The red rose, which had been in the mans hand moments ago, was inserted in Yuris hair like a decoration. Yuri could have slapped the mans hand away when he approached but a certain possibility sealed her movement. All things considered, as a fan, she couldnt heartlessly refuse her favorite characters gift now, could she?

Of course, there was no evidence that the man wasGenos Sheldon and if he actually was Genos Sheldon, she couldnt understand why he was giving her a flower instead of Anne-Marie. And so, Yuri was conflicted for a while then decided to just let him be.

Oh, I guess hes gone.

Anne-Marie looked around, only just realizing that the frog masked man had disappeared. Then she discovered the rose in Yuris hair and exclaimed.

It was for Ms. Yuri! He fell for Ms. Yuri at first sight, didnt he? (Anne-Marie)

That guy likes Yuri unni? (Hestia)[1]

Anne-Marie and Hestia looked at Yuri with their eyes sparkling again.

Ms. Yuri will definitely take first place if she joins the event!

Anne-Marie nodded her head as if what just happened was natural. And for some reason, she looked satisfied and overwhelmed with pride.

Excuse me

Right then, the men who had been studying the situation began to come up to them, one by one.

If its alright, will you take my flower

Mine too.

Please accept my flower!

They started competing to give Yuri and Anne-Marie their flowers.

Anne-Marie was both taken aback and stunned by the sudden situation, but Yuris expression had grown chilly because of the cheesiness.

is this the heroines power?

She thought only people holding flowers could participate in the event? Then why were they all crowding around them and making a fuss?

We arent participating in the flower exchange.

Anne-Marie awkwardly refused.

People are gathering. Lets get out of here.

Yuri grabbed Anne-Maries hand and began to force her way out. Anne-Marie once again apologized to the people, then she followed Yuri while holding Hestias hand tight.

There were also many people at the entrance to the square. Actually, it felt like there were more people flooding into the square than leaving it. Then a group of children holding hands in a string cut in between Yuri and Anne-Marie.

As it was already too late to avoid them, Yuri briefly let go of the hand she was holding.

Ah, Ms. Yuri!

Lets meet outside.

In the meantime, more people flocked their way and they grew apart. But since they would meet up again once they got out of the square, it wasnt really an issue.

Anne-Marie nodded from afar, showing that she understood what Yuri said.

And a while later, the two sisters completely disappeared from Yuris sight.

* * *

So the person she had an engagement with, was the clinics Anne-Marie Blanche.

Snow, the frog masked man who gave a flashy performance earlier and gave Yuri a rose, was walking across the plaza in the midst of the noisy crowd. He had been curious about who the coffeehouse clerk, Yuri, promised to go to the festival with, and now that his curiosity was satisfied, he felt refreshed.

By the way, why am I so curious about this kind of thing?

Suddenly, Snow questioned himself and tilted his head. But soon, he convinced himself that it was because he didnt have anything else catching his interests lately. Then he glanced around.

Checked just in case but I dont see that alchemist bastard anywhere. Well, not like it matters.

And at that precise moment.

Thwack!

Uck?!

Snow was hit from behind out of nowhere and spun around with a scowl.

Hk! I-It wasnt me!

The short man right behind Snow looked startled and quickly shook his head.

T-the person that just went by did it

The man hastily explained, fearing that Snow might misunderstand. From the mans expression, he didnt seem to be lying.

Snow nodded at the man to show he understood then he turned around and started walking again. Then he heard the man give a small sigh of relief behind him.

When Snow entered the square earlier, he was swept away by the crowd and lost his cloak so the high-class clothing he wore inside was on full display. So the man found that Snow was a noble and was afraid he might upset Snow.

Then maybe the person who hit him earlier was a commoner who held nobles in contempt?

With that thought in mind, Snow scratched the back of his head. He had been hit quite hard, so his back was still throbbing even now.

He felt a little bitter but since he spent his time around commoners nowadays, it wasnt hard for him understand their complaints.

Snow remained quiet but he increased his pace to leave the square faster.

.

Hey, what did you just do?

The bug asked, sounding like it found the whole thing ridiculous.

At that, Lakis coolly replied.

Isnt it obvious? There was an irritating stone by my feet, so I got rid of it.

The person who kicked Snows back earlier and passed by was none other than Lakis.

The bug felt dumbfounded by his behavior.

If youre so bothered, why dont you just drag him somewhere quiet and kill him off?

Then Lakis lips twisted in a sneer like hed just heard something ridiculous.

Why should I? Ms. Yuri got a stupid rose from that bastard, big deal.

. . .

I just didnt like how that bastards head looked so I hit it.

Now matter how you interpreted it, it sounded like he was saying that he got quite bothered by the fact that Yuri got flowers from another man, and also didnt like the guy who gave Yuri flowers.

Are you jealous right now?, the bug almost asked but shut its eager mouth once it grasped Lakis mood.

From the way Lakis was speaking, he didnt seem to want to admit that he was in a bad mood right now.

A while ago, after finding the auction house which sold the thing called the philosophers stone, Lakis came to the streets of the festival to look for Yuri. And finally, he found Yuri in the square.

Then Lakis witnessed the scene where some bum in a ridiculous mask gave Yuri a flower. It was from then on that he started feeling annoyed. Nevertheless, he did feel a little better when he saw that Yuris companion was not a man.

But why are there so many people in this ugly frog shit?

Lakis inwardly grumbled with annoyance.

Many people were impressed by Snows beautiful rain of flowers a while ago and began to follow what he wore. So now, it wasnt just children, but also many adults were wearing frog masks.

Faced with this untimely feast of frogs, Lakis mood plummeted again. Then, he discovered Yuri again and she wasnt too far away from him.

Fwip!

Eh?

The man passing right next to Lakis got his frog mask snatched away.

Although there was bewildered voice coming from behind him, Lakis put the stolen mask on his face and approached the woman at the end of his gaze.

* * *

They keep coming in droves.

Even after Yuri got separated from Anne-Marie, the crowd showed no sign of shrinking. The only thing happening in the square right now was the flower exchange ceremony but was the event that popular?

Yuri tilted her head questioningly because she couldnt understand.

Passing through!

Right then, someone practically ran at Yuri and bumped her hard as they went by.

As Yuri titled backwards, she was caught by someone behind her. Her head unintentionally hit the person at her back quite hard, and she frowned slightly at the ache. Although it wasnt her fault, she felt she had to apologize.

Sorr

But after right after she turned her head, Yuri stopped talking because she was greeted by the sight of a frog mask once again. However, the person in front of her was neither Damon Salvatore nor the red-haired man who gave her a flower earlier.

Is this frog mask popular today or what? Every guy I meet is using the same thing.

Yuri thought a little begrudgingly.

The man was very tall. So when Yuri fell back, her head had hit his chest.

Nowait a minute.

Only

Yuri was suddenly struck with realization.

This is Lakis, isnt it?

The frog mask was the only thing different. The rest of him was exactly the same as the man she had fought earlier. Seriously, was today some kind of special day? Why was everyone suddenly popping up all over the place?

Lakis who was wearing the frog mask, quietly towered over Yuri. Then his hand which was holding Yuris arm slipped down the next moment.

Yuri jerked, worried that Lakis hand might touch her bare skin. But before Yuri could shake him off, Lakis pulled out something hidden by the wrist of her sleeve.

Then a red rose appeared in her sight.
