I’m Really Not Trying to Be Chased by the Heroine as the Villainous Playboy! – Chapter 685

Chapter 67: A Kiss?

Not a maid, not a candidate for saint, but seen as a girl by Roy.

Just when Alice was about to lose all hope, she received Roy’s acknowledgment, and the sudden surprise completely overwhelmed her.

Ever since that moment, Alice felt like she was floating.

It wasn’t until she returned to her room, took off her clothes, and had a shower that she finally started to regain her senses under the refreshing water.

The blonde girl, pure and radiant, navigated through the steamy air of the room and sank into the bathtub, hugging her knees.

This could be considered the first step towards winning over her master, right?

Rounding it off, she had already made it!

Thinking back to the boy’s tender gaze and imagining, perhaps in the not-so-distant future, being looked at by him in that way like the others, Alice couldn’t help but clutch herself tighter, her delicate toes curling.

Even her fair face felt a rush of heat that exceeded the temperature of the water.

However, according to several love veterans, things aren’t over yet.

The witch Leanna’s outrageous suggestions even made Alice feel absurd, and they were interrupted on the spot by Charlotte and others.

But the last piece of advice was accepted by Charlotte and the group.

It seemed they had all done this for their master.

Then, she should follow their example and take that last step.

Recalling Leanna’s sincerity and sweetness, Alice rose from the warm water, bashfully but resolutely clenching her fists.

“The last step of a date. If you’re sure of his feelings for you, when the atmosphere is right, give him your most precious thing—”

Moments later.

Draped in a simple bathrobe, Alice stepped out of the bathroom, barefoot.

Roy instinctively helped her dry her wet golden hair, trying not to pay attention to the delicate skin barely covered by the loose robe and the sweet fragrance of iris.

Then, he lay down on the bed with Alice.

Lights out, and a beautiful day came to an end.

This had become a familiar routine for Roy.

At first, he thought it was pathetic that the White Port Church only had one room, but now he felt fortunate to spend the whole day close to Alice.

Recalling how the girl had been cold, cute, brave, and genuine throughout the day, his heart stirred.

She was a girl he’d been with for a long time, yet he felt she was somehow even more captivating than before.

Or could it be that he…

No, no, no!

Spoiling this child isn’t a bad thing.

But unlike Charlotte and the others, Alice’s thoughts were pure. How could he view her that way?

Especially since Alice trusted him so much, sharing a bed without any defenses, he really couldn’t have any impure thoughts!

Roy bit his tongue, forcing himself to dispel those wayward thoughts.

“Master?”

“Hmm?”

Roy was just expecting the little maid to wish him a cheery goodnight as usual.

To his surprise, the girl beside him looked serious and said: “Master, can you accept Alice’s most precious thing?”

Roy froze instantly.

What on earth are you talking about?!

This, this, this couldn’t possibly be good! We’re…

The villain and the protagonist.

The master and the maid.

The candidate for saint and the saint’s guard.

In an instant, countless reasons to refuse flooded Roy’s mind, but none came out of his mouth.

The identity of ‘villain Roy’ had already been wiped clean.

He didn’t really treat Alice like just a maid.

As for the candidate for saint and the saint’s guard, even without that identity, they cherished each other enough.

The night deepened.

Gazing into Alice’s sparkling beautiful eyes, Roy inexplicably had a wild guess, with his heart racing.

Could it be that this child really…

Roy shot upright.

Despite the turmoil in his mind, he tried to appear calm.

Since Alice’s thought process was often unpredictable, he needed to confirm one more time.

Roy gently asked, “Your most precious thing? What do you mean?”

Alice also slowly sat up.

Her beautiful golden hair fell down like twilight, and her starry, beautiful eyes looked at him tenderly. The skin that the bathrobe didn’t cover shimmered with a holy white, softer than the evening breeze.

Once he appreciated her as a female, Roy realized how much Alice had blossomed into someone so enchanting.

But this wasn’t something to joke about.

If Alice really came over and took off her clothes, would he really…

Just then, Alice lowered her head and lifted a little dog plushie.

“This, this is Alice’s most precious thing. Please accept it, Master!”

“…?”

Roy covered his face, deep in thought, feeling utterly exasperated at his earlier anxiety.

Of course, unlike Charlotte and the others, how could Alice possibly have that kind of thought towards him…?

“Can I ask what you’re doing?”

“Leanna said that at the end of a date, you have to give your most precious thing.”

“Give it? And then what? You can’t possibly want to just give me this little thing, right?”

Roy couldn’t help but chuckle as he squeezed the little dog plushie.

So funny, you can’t even part with it!

“No, it’s not just a simple offering.” Alice shook her head, hiding behind the plushie, her head slightly raised: “It’s about using your most precious thing to get a response.”

“A response? How do you mean?”

“A kiss.”

Roy’s hand froze.

“Offering your most precious thing to get a response; only then is the date considered complete. And a kiss is the best response.”

That day, Leanna made many absurd jokes, but only that one statement held truth.

Even for Alice, who barely understood romance, she instinctively realized that she was right.

And now was the time to seek that response.

Alice timidly asked, “Master, can I have a kiss?”

“I…”

This sudden turn of events once again disrupted Roy’s heart.

It shouldn’t be.

Shouldn’t it…?

If it were before today, Roy would have easily brought up various righteous reasons to refuse.

But now, he couldn’t do that.

Just like Alice then, she couldn’t refuse his request.

The only thing Roy couldn’t do was to refuse Alice.

Just before he could sort through the chaos in his mind, his body instinctively leaned towards Alice.

As he reached out, the soft sensation hit him, and Roy’s eyes widened slightly.

He saw the golden dog being lifted high by the girl, gently touching his lips.

“This kiss, is this what you meant?”

“What’s wrong with it?”

“This…”

Roy felt a wave of helplessness wash over him.

Annoyed, amused, and in a sense, unsurprisingly, a tinge of… melancholy.

But looking at the joy sparkling in Alice’s eyes and how she held the little dog plushie with such care, Roy could only give a wry smile in the end.

Oh well, as long as she’s happy.
