I’m Really Not Trying to Be Chased by the Heroine as the Villainous Playboy! – Chapter 305

Chapter 11: Likes

Most of this action was probably suggested by the staff girl, who casually twirled her skirt to subtly reveal a glimpse under it, taking the initiative against the opponent.

For Alice, it was evidently a bit challenging.

The girl’s clumsiness was as endearing as a flower bud swayed by a gentle breeze, making Roy’s heart race even faster.

Seeing the little maid trying so hard to express her feelings, it felt too dismissive to just respond with plain words.

Just like the girl wanted to showcase her cute side, the black-haired boy couldn’t help but want to do something for her in return.

“I like you, but it still feels like something’s missing.”

“Missing something?”

Just when Alice was puzzled, the black-haired boy suddenly leaned down in front of her.

As the master, he shouldn’t have to bow down before a maid. To Alice, even if it didn’t disgrace Roy’s status, it felt out of place for her to be treated like this.

It shouldn’t have been like that.

But this time, she was lost in the thunderous rhythm of her own heartbeat, her mind going fuzzy, forgetting to object.

“Master?”

“Don’t move.”

He took out the black leg strap the staff had selected earlier and, like a careful servant, gently placed it on the girl’s bare, slender thigh. The black strap contrasted beautifully with Alice’s milk-white skin, further emphasizing her graceful curves.

“You wanted a collar, right? Let’s consider this a substitute.” Still kneeling, Roy lifted his head and smiled, asking: “So, what do you think, do you like it?”

Amidst her increasingly erratic heartbeat, Alice gazed at the handsome boy and couldn’t help but murmur, “I like it.”

No matter what her master gifted her, she loved it all, but this simple “I like it” caused a slight blush to appear on her cheeks.

Meanwhile, the surrounding staff and customers were already all flushed with excitement.

The angelically pure girl was adorably clumsy like a first love, while the handsome black-haired boy seemed like a caring boyfriend, kneeling in attentive service.

Don’t ask, just know they were totally shipping it.

And after shipping it up, people naturally wanted to experience the same scene.

What Roy and Alice didn’t know was that the combo of knee-high socks and leg straps was about to start trending, along with the quirky fashion where boyfriends had to put leg straps on their girlfriends, leading to a shortage of these accessories.

But that was a topic for later, as the two were still happily on their date.

After leaving the clothing store, Roy began to consider their next plans.

Sticking to his gentlemanly principles, Roy always asked the girl first.

During dates, Charlotte typically enjoyed visiting beast shops or indulging in an upscale restaurant for afternoon tea. Nia would opt for the adventurer’s tavern or a food stall for some cold drinks.

However, Alice didn’t have any particular preferences; asking her often ended up being pointless.

Moreover…

Roy glanced towards the south.

While there were plenty of lively shops in that direction, the crowds were currently moving away from it.

It seemed the Red Magic faction was causing trouble over there, so it was better to avoid that area.

“Alice, how about we go watch a play?”

The little maid still had a hint of blush lingering on her cheeks, seemingly unable to shake off what she just said.

“Alice?”

After another call, she finally snapped back, hurriedly replying, “Ah, just decide, Master.”

Her usual response made Roy chuckle wryly.

“Then let’s go watch a play.”

With Alice’s shy personality, she might just genuinely enjoy this kind of cultural outing. Besides, a play is different from books; it should help Alice more intuitively understand the feelings between people.

Of course, the most important thing was that the theater was north, conveniently avoiding the strange happenings in the south, making it safer.

So, off they went to the theater in the north.

“By the way, Master, what is a play?”

“It’s, um, a kind of performance.”

“Alice knows it’s a performance, but what exactly do they perform?”

Roy thought for a moment and found himself at a loss for words.

“Just know it’s really good to watch.”

——————————

At the southernmost part of the business district.

The air was serene, the wind calm, just like an ordinary day.

However, strangely, the usually bustling southern commercial street was deserted, with only red-robed mages and students in academy uniforms hiding in the shadows.

At the center of the lockdown stood a three-story museum.

Rumor had it that a cultist from the Necromancy School was hiding in there.

With the cooperation of the magic academy students, the Red Magic faction quickly set up a barrier and sealed off the street but was wary of making a hasty move.

Cultists could employ cunning methods unpredictably—strength could not be judged solely by bloodline rank. Especially with inadequate intelligence, full preparedness was vital.

Just then, a carriage emblazoned with the Red Magic emblem rushed in, and everyone finally sighed in relief.

The person in charge had arrived.

A tall, thin man dressed in a red robe with a hooked nose stepped down from the carriage.

A group of mages approached, all bowing respectfully.

Sequence 6 Grand Mage Malfoy.

He arrogantly surveyed his surroundings, unconsciously raising the corner of his mouth due to the crowd’s humility.

Until he caught sight of a few students in the corner.

He didn’t hide his disgust and frowned.

“Why are these pesky brats here?”

One purple-haired girl, appearing somewhat uneasy, stepped forward and bowed, explaining, “I’m Kreya from the student council of the magic academy.”

“We’re here to assist you all in setting up the barrier and in the pursuit of the cultist…”

Malfoy impatiently raised his hand, interrupting her, “I’ve read the documents.”

“The barrier is already set up. This is no concern of yours.”

Kreya felt a bit awkward, needing to speak but hesitating: “Huh? But…”

The tasks they received clearly stated they were to cooperate with the Red Magic faction against the cultists.

In fact, the students from the magic academy had already done similar tasks before and had even achieved notable results.

Yet Malfoy rudely said, “Don’t you get it? You little brats would only be a nuisance even if you came along!”

The wave of Sequence 6‘s extraordinary presence faintly trembled, making the air feel thick.

Sequence 6 and Sequence 7, although seemingly just one rank apart, represented the threshold between mid-tier and low-tier.

Using magical beasts as an example, Sequence 89 would be the most common member of a group, while Sequence 7 would be powerful enough to be regarded as a fierce beast in the wild.

However, Sequence 6 was the true leader capable of commanding the entire tribe.

The pressure of a mid-tier extraordinary being was enough to make ordinary low-tier beings feel their bloodlines thicken and find it hard to breathe.

The students led by Kreya instantly turned pale.

But just then, a clear, light sound of high heels echoed from the depths of the alley.

Accompanied by a soft chuckle, a girl with brown hair and enchanting purple eyes, possessing a graceful and elegant figure, slowly emerged from the darkness.

Like a snake.

“I understand your concerns, but with my strength, I shouldn’t be a bother, right?”

Gazing at the poised smile that stared down his pressure without flinching, Malfoy’s eyes narrowed coldly.

The president of the magic academy student council.

Leanna Cassandra.
