jude is well aware of the effect you have on him. he gets more annoyed and snaps easily when you are around him. just how can someone be so happy and wear that shitty cute smile all the time? it pisses him off. you piss him off.

having to take care of you during a mission all the while cursing victor for sending you on such a dangerous task. what if you die? fuck. of course, he won't let that happen. but he's so mad, and his eyes are narrowed, and the cigarette is stomped on by his foot.

jude's lost.

he wants to help you and hates it when you cry. those tears shouldn't come out of your eyes, damn it! he thinks. the businessman wears that sadistic grin and tells you that “you are in my debt, princess” but he doesn't want anything in return. nothing other than you giving him a kiss or looking at him with the smile you were giving ellis earlier.

his heart beats so fast around you.

he hates you. jude hates you and he despises all you make him feel. what a troublesome princess you are, tch.

I translate for my personal entertainment and for my own practice only.

Victor asked me to take the Crown's physical measurements for the purpose of health management and research—

I visited Ellis, who was easy to ask first, and it turned out to be the right decision.

Thanks to his great cooperation, the measurements proceeded very quickly.

Kate: “Thank you for your cooperation, Ellis. This concludes the measurement of your upper body."

Ellis: "That's good. By the way, Miss Kate, there's something I was curious about......"

Ellis: "Can you lend me a hand?"

Kate: "......? Yes, sure."

I held out my hand, wondering what he was going to do, and Ellis's hand came to rest on mine—

My hand was guided and touched his chest, which was bare…..for measurement.

I feel his moist skin all over my palm.

Ellis: ".….If you're interested in my body, you can touch it."

Kate: "Eh!? Uh, how.….”

Ellis: “Because I felt like I could feel your eyes piercing through me while you were measuring for my chest. ……Was it my misunderstanding?"

Kate: "You misunderstood..., there was nothing.”

Ellis looks slender when he's dressed, but when he takes his clothes off, he has an unexpectedly masculine body.

Although the measurements are taken seriously, I couldn't help but admire his thick chest and his well-defined abdominal muscles.

(I thought I was keeping a level head, but he knew.... How embarrassing……)

Ellis: “As much as you like, Miss Kate, go ahead.”

Kate: "E-Even if you ask me to go ahead….."

Even if I'm interested in touching another person's body, especially a man's body, my reservation and embarrassment will prevail.

(I know you're saying this for me, Ellis, but....I'll say no.)

I tried to take his hand away, saying It was fine if I didn’t touch him.

However, Ellis is holding my hand tighter than I imagined, and I can't get away from him even a little.

Ellis: "You don't have to hold back on me, so feel free to check with your hands."

You noticed I tried to take my hand away, your hands are literally so strong.

(If you've told me this much, it's not right to say no.….isn't it?)

(If I reject him excessively, then it seems like I'm being weirdly conscious of Ellis.....)

Deciding to accept the kindness, I slid my hand over his skin.

Kate: "....Muscles are softer than I thought. I thought it was harder."

Ellis: “When you're relaxed, yes. When you're exerting yourself, though, it gets harder......"

Kate: "Wow, that's amazing...!”

(Still, I think people are reluctant to have their skin touched...)

(Is Ellis used to being touched by other people…..?)

Even though the fun seems to rise, my heart is in turmoil at the defencelessness of Ellis, who let me touch him without any odd hesitation.

Ellis: "What's wrong?"

Kate: “Well......I was wondering if you do this to anyone who asks you to.”

Regret comes immediately after speaking out.

I knew Ellis was kind to everyone, but I speak as if I’m blaming him.

Ellis: “…..Don't worry, I didn't do anything that you would be worried about.”

The reply was ambiguous, as if it were an answer, but it wasn't.

I also notice a strange pause before the reply.

(What are the things that worry me? Have you ever let some else touches you, if only a little?…..)

Ellis's trivial words and actions have stuck with me, and I don't feel refreshed, as if a lees has settled in my mind.

(There's no reason to feel like this, but why am I.….)

Ellis: “If it still bothers you... Do you want to try touching somewhere else?”

Ellis: "....I really haven't shown this place to anyone, I haven't let anyone touch it."

Ellis: "Only for Miss Kate, special"

Kate: “Eh….”

Ellis pulled my hand again.

The hand that was touching his chest went down through his stomach.....and stop at his waist.

Kate: “….Ellis?”

Ellis: “No one touches it from here down, so go ahead.”

What Ellis is showing is below the bottoms... his lower body.

Kate: "Ah, uh..... This is not usually a place to let people touch, is it?"

Ellis: “What would you like to do, Miss Kate?”

Ellis: "Rather than normal or common sense, I want to do what you want to do."

Ellis: "I've been thinking about how to make you happy."

Even if that feeling of Ellis is one that is poured out without division to all.

I was the only one in his eyes right now.

Kate: "I, am......"

(......If there is a place on Ellis's body where only I am allowed, I want to touch it.)

The sweet sound of "special" made me forget to reply and my throat started to throb.

Ellis: ".....You can do whatever you want."

I finally gave a small nod as my gentle forgiveness.

Ellis: “Shall we proceed slowly? Let's start with........to the first joint of your finger."

Is Ellis pulling my hand, or am I proceeding with my own will? I don't know anymore.

My fingertips slip under his bottoms without any sense of reality, as if I were in a dream.

Ellis: "Second joint........”

Kate: “Ah.”

My advanced fingertips feel the rough texture of the skin. It's hot and humid inside.

Ellis: “Hmm. …..fufu, I’ve gone all the way in to the base of your fingers, haven't I?"

Ellis smiled like a child whose prank had succeeded.

Contrary to that innocence, I felt like I was doing something I shouldn’t...., I was scared.

Kate: "Uh, I guess..."

I came to my senses and pulled out my fingertips, grazing the deep part of him.

Ellis: “Nn…gh”

(……!)

Ellis: “Sorry..... I was so ticklish, I made a weird noise."

Kate: “N-no, it’s not….”

Ellis's sweet voice, which leaked a little, remains in my ears.

(The fact that I'm the only one who can touch Ellis here...)

(And that lovely voice I just heard, is that just for me?)

The thought of it is irresistibly lovely and makes me want to touch and listen to it again.

(But, as expected, no more...)

Ellis: "....More touches if you like, Miss Kate."

Taking my hesitant hand again, Ellis let me touch it through the bottoms.

Kate: “……Uh”

I gasped as I felt something passionately insisting on the area I touched.

Ellis: "This is what happened, so...I would like you to lend me a hand."

Kate: "B-but...I already had taken your body measurements.….”

I finally remember my job and give my opinion with a voice that seems to disappear.

Ellis: "Well then..... Do you want to check here with your hands? If it's a measurement, then there's no problem."

Kate: "...............I got it."

(It's just an extra of his body measurements, just to make sure......)

Like a butterfly lured by sweet nectar, I slipped my hand there again.

Ellis: “Ah... Haa….."

As I stroke him slowly while watching him, Ellis lets out a hot exhale of aggravation.

Ellis: “Miss, Kate…..”

(.....I'm weird. I can't take my eyes off him.)

He is so lovely, so cute, so disturbed by my hand that I want to see more of him.

Driven by the impulse, I moved my fingers with a strong and weak pressure so that Ellis could feel good.

Ellis: “……Nngh”

Kate: “Here…..is it?”

Ellis: "Nnm..... There, it feels good...."

His hips swayed loosely as he rubbed against my hand.

I was happy to know that I wasn't the only one who wanted to be touched.

(.....I want you to feel even better with my hand.)

At first, it was only my fingertips, but gradually I used the whole palm of my hand to wrap it up and continued to stimulate it.

Ellis: “……Nngh!”

Kate: "I-I'm sorry. Did I push too hard...?"

Ellis: “No... I'm fine. I just felt so good I was about to lose it."

Ellis: “You can touch me however you like. ....I'll make my place exclusive to you, Miss Kate."

(I, exclusive….)

The haze in my mind that I felt when I thought Ellis might have let someone else touched him cleared up.

(I see….. I wanted to monopolise you.)

(I didn't want anyone else to touch or see Ellis...that's what I thought)

If you know your feelings, there is only one thing to do.

As time permits, I continued to touch where only I was allowed and stare at Ellis, who exhaled shallowly.

Fin.

Dead or Love ~ Ellis Twilight

This a fan translation so it is definitely not 100% accurate. I do not own anything related to Ikemen Villains. Support Cybird by buying their amazing stories!

Part 1 | Part 2 | Bitter End | Premium End | Epilogue

Ellis: “Kate, what kind of Christmases have you had so far?”

While having tea in a café as the Christmas season approaches, Ellis, sitting in front of me, tilts his head.

I couldn’t help but smile at the light steam coming from the hot chocolate that Ellis was drinking.

Kate: “I was usually working, Christmas is especially busy with the deliveries.”

Ellis: “Oh, Christmas cards?”

Kate: “Fufu, correct.”

Ellis: “So, I guess you had a busy Christmas at work.”

Kate: “But it wasn’t all bad, was it?”

Kate: “I felt like Santa Claus because I got to see the happy faces when I delivered the Christmas cards.”

(Now I feel a little nostalgic for those days)

As I trace the memories of the Holy Night with my fingertips and immersed myself in a nostalgic feeling, Ellis murmured.

Ellis: “I want to be your Santa Claus this year.”

Kate: “Eh…?”

Ellis: “I want to give you a very special, very happy Christmas.”

Ellis: “…no good?”

Kate: “Well, in that case, I’ll join you too—”

Ellis: “That’s not allowed.”

Kate: “Why?”

Ellis: “Because Santa Claus doesn’t ask for anything in return, right?”

I imagine Santa Claus walking around, handing out presents without asking for anything in return.

Kate: “Ah…sure?”

Ellis: “Fufu, right? That’s why you’re not allowed to return the favor.”

(I’m sure Ellis is trying to give me some wonderful Christmas memories.)

Although, I am a little reluctant to keep his indiscriminate kindness he gives me to myself.

Kate: “If it’s okay with you, Ellis, I’m happy to do it.”

Ellis: “…I did it. I’ll do my best to make you happy.

--Secret Room- Ellis’ POV—

Ellis: “…What is the best Christmas?”

Ellis: “What do you think is the best Christmas, Jude?”

Jude: “Aah? I don’t know anything about that.”

As I looked at Jude, who was working on paperwork, I heard an annoyed sigh.

Jude: “Hah… annoying to be so deep in thought.”

Jude: “People don’t go out of their way to pay a lot of money to eat in a high-end place for nothing. I don’t know.”

Ellis: “High-end. Why?”

Jude: “Ha. It’s a childish Christmas only blue-eyed brats like you would enjoy.”

Ellis: “I see. Yeah, maybe so.”

Jude: “More importantly, Christmas Eve is—”

Ellis: “A conviction for illicit exports, right?”

Ellis: “Ah, it’s not a crown mission, so I guess it's a punishment."

According to Jude, the organization refines and sells dangerous drugs.

Apparently, they were working carefully behind the scenes so that Jude’s company would be looked upon with suspicion if something were to happen.

Ellis: “I know the loss is only a few thousand pounds. Do you want me to kill? Not kill?

Jude: “They were targeting women and children with those drugs, it’s just so shitty it’s not even funny.”

Ellis: “Kill, you mean… got it.”

And then it was Christmas Eve, December 24th.

Jude and I went into the mansion where the organization was eating.

Jude: “Sorry to disturb you while you’re eating.”

Head of Organization: “Jude Jazza…”

Jude: “Ha, that looks like an expensive wine. You seem to be having a lot of fun.”

Jude steps up onto the table with bare feet and puts his toes on the chin of the man who seems to be the head of the organization.

Jude: “Are you saying that the person who tried to pin the blame on my company had no knowledge of the law?”

Head of Organization: “N-No…”

Jude: “Heh…?”

Jude: “—No, of course not, you fucking idiot.”

Head of Organization: “AAAAAHHHHH!!!”

There was the sound of a jaw being crushed, and the throats of the people around them rang out in fear.

Jude: “Your disgusting screams are hurting my ears. Ellis.”

Bottom of the Organization: “I-I’m sorry…Aah!”

Organization member 1: “Don’t run away you guys! It’s only two people, kill them…!”

Ellis: “…If you can kill me, good luck.”

Organization member 1: “Gah!”

One by one, I thrust a knife into them and take their lives.

While I think about these people not being able to have a Christmas,

Someone touched my leg--.

(…!)

The movement was delayed for a moment.

Organization member 2: “Aah!”

When I killed the last one, all I could hear was me and Jude breathing.

I felt something strange on my leg and looked down…

(Ah…)

Jude: “What?”

Ellis: “Looks like I’ve got a bomb attached to me.”

Perhaps it was a dying struggle, but the person I had just killed seemed to have touched my leg to set off a bomb.

(24 hours left? Oh, it’s a time bomb.)

(…but)

Ellis: “I guess there’s no one left to tell us how to disarm it.”

Ellis: “…What should I do?”

Jude: “Ha. I don’t know, wipe your own ass.”

(I usually do that, but tomorrow…)

--Flashback—

Kate: “If it’s okay with you, Ellis, I’m happy to do it.”

--End Flashback—

Ellis: “Jude, I have a favor to ask of you.”

Jude: “Yeah?”

--Crown Castle—Kate POV

Then, just as the cold of winter was getting stronger, December 25th—Christmas arrived.

I promised to meet Ellis in the town around the time the sun sets.

(My work is finished, so I have to start preparing now.)

Then, there was a knock at the door and a maid delivered a large box.

(…I wonder what?)

When I opened the box, inside was a long, light purple dress.

And a message card was attached to it.

Merry Christmas, Kate.

It’s a present from Santa Claus.

(This is from Ellis…)

(I had no idea you had prepared such a present for me.)

The unexpected Christmas present makes my heart feel fluffy and sweet like cotton candy.

It’s like it’s a preview of the best Christmas yet to come.

(I need to quickly change my clothes and hurry to Ellis.)

I felt as excited as a child receiving a present from Santa Claus.

I change into the dress and head to the meeting place.

(Wow…!)

London is decorated with Christmas colors and welcomes me with an even more gorgeous look.

(The meeting place was supposed to be here…)

Ellis: “Beautiful lady over there. Are you meeting someone…?”

Ikemen Villains Love Letter Replies: Part 3

– Elbert, Alfons, Jude

I do not own any of the Ikemen Series content being uploaded on this blog, everything belongs to CYBIRD. Please support them by playing their games and buying stories. Not 100% accurate, expect mistakes.

read this before interacting with my posts

Elbert Greetia

Q. Who do you usually dine with, and what do you eat?

I realized this after Al pointed it out to me.

I only eat bitter food like parsley, lemon peels, and herbal tea.

When Roger treated me to meat, I was chided for unconsciously eating only the charred parts.

Elis buys delicious bread from the bakery, so we eat it together, I guess.

Q. What are your dislikes? And why do you hate drinking milk?

My dislikes...

I don't like crowded places.

I can't move around easily in crowded places because I'm afraid of stepping onto someone's shadow. It's too bothersome.

As for why I hate milk... I can't stand the sweet taste and smell of milk.

And... oh.

Roger took me boxing a while back, and... it wasn't my thing.

... It was too painful.

Q. How do you spend your time on rainy days? Does the sound of rain wake you up?

I sometimes get woken up by the sound of rain, but... even the tiniest of noises from people can wake me up.

Perhaps I'm not so sensitive to the sound of rain.

I often go out to town when it rains.

Umbrellas make people stand further apart from one another... it's easier for me to walk.

Maybe we can go on a walk together sometime.

I'm sure that... we can find something beautiful.

Alfons Sylvatica

Q. Besides Roger, is there anything else you dislike?

Ahaha!

A very interesting question.

I don't particularly dislike Roger, you know?

I'm not picky about people.

Something I dislike would be... cats.

No, no, I'm not lying.

I hate lies.

I also dislike delicious food, soft beds, the touch of a human, and ghosts.

Q. What kind of perfumes do the guys use?

I go for scents that are more musky.

The perfume ends up being mixed with various scents, so it's like it becomes a different scent every day.

Examples of what the other guys smell like:

• Bewitching rose.

• Refreshing mint.

• Sweet vanilla.

• Odorless.

• The smell of after the rain.

• Smoky sandalwood.

• Fresh laundry.

• The smell of a silent night.

Now, which smell belongs to who?

Q. What should I do to have sweet dreams?

Are you talking about the dreams I show you?

I can guarantee that you'll have lots of "fun" if you fully surrender yourself to me.

If you're talking about actual dreams...

I recommend imagining things like where you to want to go, dreams you want to come true, and sweet words you want to hear, before going to sleep.

It's okay to be shameless.

You won't be punished for having good things happen in your dreams.

Jude Jazza

Q. What fruits do you especially like?

What, are you planning to get me a gift?

... It's not like that? Why do you have to treat me?

I usually eat pears, peaches, and figs.

I have a sweet tooth?

By "sweet tooth", you mean like Harrison?

I don't have a liking for treats that are too sweet.

And also... the raspberries Elis occasionally gets me aren't bad as well.

Q. How can I get a job at your trading company?

You're a remarkably diligent worker, I'm impressed.

... Alright, you're hired once you sign the employment contract. Required qualifications? There are none.

A manager's job is to think of ways to make even the most incompetent staff useful, don't you agree?

I'm going to make you work directly under the president for the time being, so you'd better do a good job working for me.

... I'm looking forward to seeing what you're capable of, Princess.

Q. I heard that you got yourself into an entanglement with a stray cat. How did that happen?

You mean the one Ellis brought back with him?

I was doing my paperwork, but it kept wrapping itself around my leg, climbing onto my lap and shoulders, and licking and nibbling on my fingers. It kept coming back even though I tried to get it away from me. It was annoying.

At last, that weirdo who's also the Queen's aide and Alfons wanted to look after the cat...

The next time that guy comes back with a stray cat, I'm giving him a pay cut.

Ikemen Villains - Ellis Twilight

Translations may not always capture the exact nuances or tone of the original text. Expect grammatical errors.

Blank, ageless, and suspicious blogs will be blocked.

On the eve of Halloween, the aroma of sweet pastries filled the kitchen of the castle.

Victor: "It's almost time for them to finish baking. Come on, let's take the scones out."

Ellis: "Kate, let me do it. I don't want you to burn yourself."

Kate: "Thanks. Please be careful, Ellis."

Ellis: "Hm. They're nicely baked."

Victor: "Ahaha! Victor's original buttery scones are now ready!"

We gazed and smiled at the beautifully baked scones.

Tomorrow, October 31st, Halloween will come to this country, and the town will be bustling with excitement.

After talking with Ellis, we decided to do something for the townspeople, so Victor taught us how to make scones to distribute.

Even though we didn't live in a sunny place, doing this once in a while shouldn't have posed a problem.

(It's so typical of Ellis to be so friendly and kind to the townspeople that he wants to hand out candies.)

Victor: "Are you planning to distribute this tomorrow?"

Kate: "Yup, that's the plan."

Victor: "That's wonderful. You guys are truly kind-hearted!"

Ellis: "Victor, your hug is a bit too strong."

Victor: "Oops, my apologies! Love overflowed for a moment there."

Victor: "But do be careful about one thing. Tomorrow is the night of beauty under the moon." **

Kate: "Night of beauty under the moon?" **

Victor: "Ah, right. I haven't told you about this yet."

Victor proceeded to explain it to me.

He said that every few years, there was an occurrence where Halloween coincided with a full moon or a new moon, intensifying the cursed sins.

It was also called "beauty under the moon" because it blooms at the same time as the beauty under the moon flowers.

(So weird things like that happen. Is it because of the phases of the moon?)

Kate: "Thank you for the explanation. So, what exactly happens when the curse intensifies?"

Victor: "I wish I could tell you, but I don't really know all the details!"

Kate: "Huh?"

Victor: "The last phenomenon happened about 20 years ago."

Victor: "If it were 20 years ago, most of the crown members probably weren't even aware of their curse themselves."

Kate: "Right, that's true. Um, if it were 20 years ago, Ellis..."

Ellis: "I think it was around the time I finally started talking."

Victor & Kate: "Cute."

Ellis: "Fufu, both of you are thinking out loud."

Kate: "Sorry. It just slipped out."

Victor: "Ahem. So, to summarize, tomorrow is going to be a dangerous night for you two, considering it's been 20 years since it last happened."

Victor: "We don't know what will happen, so make sure to return before the moon rises."

I carried the scones with Ellis and started wrapping them one by one.

Kate: "By the way, the decorations in this dining hall are amazing."

Ellis: "It's a tradition. I've been helping Victor with it every year."

Somewhere in the middle of our chat, he suddenly muttered something.

Ellis: "Can I really spend tomorrow with you?"

Kate: "What?"

Ellis: "Aren't you afraid to be with me?"

Ellis: "If you're even a little scared, I'd rather stay away."

Ellis: "I want to make you happy, not scare you."

(Is it because we don't know what might happen tomorrow?)

I realized that neither of us really knew what to expect tomorrow.

(But I know for sure that he would never do anything to scare me.)

(And I don't want to be afraid of him.)

Kate: "I want to be with you. It's our first Halloween together, after all."

Ellis: "Thank you, Kate. Actually, I wanted to be with you too."

His sweet smile made me smile in return.

Kate: "Then we're in this together."

Ellis: "Yeah, together."

Ellis: "But I can't even begin to imagine what might happen if my curse intensifies."

(Right. Speaking of which...)

Kate: "You know, I might not even know what your curse is."

Ellis: "Oh, you don't? In that case, why don't you guess?"

William was cursed with the king's self-righteousness, so I think his sins would be self-righteousness and condemnation.

(Ellis is cursed with Thorns, so thinking along those lines...)

Kate: "Stabbing someone?"

Ellis: "Fufu, that's cute but slightly incorrect."

Kate: "Um, then..."

I pondered, and Ellis looked at me, smiling.

Ellis: "You look so cute as you search for answers. I think I'll keep it a secret for a little longer."

Ellis: "I'd prefer if you never found out, but if you figure it out, please tell me."

The next day, we headed out to town with the scones.

While Halloween in England might be considered less vibrant than in some other places, the town was livelier than usual, and you could sense the excitement in the air.

Fruit Vendor Granny: "Oh, Ellis, Miss. Happy Halloween!"

Ellis: "Hello, Anna."

Ellis: "Trick or treat."

Fruit Vendor Granny: "Trick or treat?"

Ellis: "Yes, treat. Here you go."

Fruit Vendor Granny: "Oh my, are these homemade? I'm so happy, thank you both."

Bookstore Owner: "Hey there, Ellis! Miss Kate! Oh, that's candy, isn't it?"

Bookstore Owner: "Then, if you don't mind. Trick or treat!"

Ellis: "Here you go, enjoy. It's loaded with butter, so it's sure to be delicious."

Child in a ghost costume: "Big brother, big sister! Trick-or-treat!"

Ellis: "Be careful not to trip. Here you go."

(Hehe, Ellis is really popular! And everyone seems to be having fun.)

As the sun began to set, the scones gradually began to decrease.

Kate: "Wow, they're all gone. That was quick."

Ellis: "Yeah. Oh, by the way..."

Ellis: "Want to do some trick-or-treating with me, too?"

(With me?)

Kate: "Trick-or-treat?"

Ellis: "Here. I saved the last one just for you."

Kate: "But if I take it, then you won't have any."

Ellis: "I'm fine. If you're happy, that's enough for me."

Ellis: "Or did you want to play a trick on me?"

Kate: "This one is fine. Thank you."

Ellis: "Fufu, you're welcome."

(He really always thinks about others' happiness.)

He gave me the last piece of candy without hesitation, prioritizing other people's feelings over his own.

Every time I saw him like that, I found his kindness endearing and, yet, a bit lonely.

(I want to make him happy, not just receive from him.)

Bar Owner: "Ellis, Missy! As a thank you for the scones, come by the tavern sometime. I'll treat you to a drink."

Ellis and I both look up at the sky simultaneously.

The sun had just started to set, and it seemed like there was still some time before the moon would appear.

Ellis: "Kate, are you ready to head back, or would you like to stay with me a bit longer?"

♡ " A mess "

Pairing: Jude Jazza x Kate (MC)

CW: lots of cursing + jealous jude!! (Tho it isn't much of a warning, lol.)

Note: My 2nd entry for @judejazza 's event!! I hope everyone likes this Jude fic <3 divider & header by the lovely @natimiles

Jude's eyes followed her figure as soon as she entered the dining room. Her smile lacked its usual cheerfulness, and her eyes looked sad.

That expression of Kate's broke something inside of him. This wasn't the first time she was wearing that look. Of course. She was living in a castle with cursed people, but Jude knew that wasn't why she looked so down.

Jude clicked his tongue in annoyance, but his eyes quickly looked her over... making sure she was doing physically well... that she wasn't harmed. He quickly looked away.

He was pissed. Very fucking pissed if he had to be honest. Whatever they both had going on was messing with both his head and heart. Jude Jazza was smart, but he couldn't find it in himself to put a name to their "relationship."

When she got hurt, he had wanted to kill all of those people right then and there. Her smile brought a strange sense of calm over him. She was beautiful -- fuck. Shit. He mentally cursed himself and faced her.

"How was yer date?" He basically spat the words out with that sadistic grin on his face.

Kate huffed and narrowed her eyes, looking angry. "Why are you looking so smug, Jude?"

He barked out a laugh, leaning back on the chair. "Smug? Whatcha talkin' about, Princess?"

"Do you take pleasure in seeing me hurt?"

Jude looked at her straight in the eye. "Ya should have the answer to that already."

Her face was red. Kate was fuming. The earlier hints of sadness from her expression were all gone.

"Why do you even care? Huh?" She questioned him, crossing her arms over her chest.

"I don't fuckin' care." Jude replied, expression mirroring hers.

"Then you shouldn't act like you do. Even if he didn't come to the spot--"

He threw the newspaper in front of him, a little too aggressively.

"Then ya will agree to meet that fucker again? Even if he stood ya up two times already? Princess, do ya have any self-respect?"

Kate gasped. "Jude! Just what is your problem? I don't get it!"

Shit. He messed up. Her eyes were filled with tears and... he was the cause. Jude mentally laughed at himself. He was warning Kate about a guy while he was the worst of them all. Surely, the Princess deserves better.

He took slow strides towards her. "Do ya like him?"

"... What?"

"That lousy fucker who can't even show up on a date, and stood ya up twice."

"That's none of your concern."

He took slow strides towards her, but Kate wasn't moving back. She stood still in her place, curious to see what he was going to do. Her eyes were fixed on him, studying his every expression and movement. Kate's eyes were shining as always, but she had changed so much...

She turned even more beautiful.

"He doesn't deserve ya. Ya are wastin' too much of your time." He said nonchalantly, bending down slightly to meet her eyes. "Or do ya like bein' stood up?"

"I can't understand you, Jude Jazza..." Kate breathed out, eyes narrowing once again in fury. "You push me away, say harsh things, then act like you care about me. Just what do you want?"

He clicked his tongue, and they both kept staring at each other. They weren't able to break eye contact, or they just didn't want to. Jude wondered... just what was she actually thinking?

He reached out to wipe a tear that had escaped from her eye. His hand was rough from his line of work, but his touch was gentle.

Kate's reddened cheeks, her big eyes filled with curiosity, her laughter and giggles, the way she would listen to him, and how she had tried to keep him safe during missions... that was all so precious to Jude.

"He can't treat ya good, ya dummy." He said softly.

Kate was silent for a while, but then she spoke in an equally soft voice.

"If he can't... then can you? What are you implying, Jude...?"

His expression as he looked at Kate was so gentle, so soft. There was no sarcasm in his voice as he replied, "Yeah, if ya don't trust my words, then wanna test it out?"

He chuckled upon seeing her flustered and surprised expression. Yeah... he wouldn't trade her for the world...

Morning Routine - Victor x Reader (Ikemen Villains)

A/N: My first time writing Victor - eeek!

Pairing: Victor x Reader

Prompt: recent gacha card

Tags: NSFW; Minors - DNI; suggestive situations

“Could you hand that to me?” 

You followed Victor’s guiding gaze towards the purple ribbon laying on the bathroom vanity. Silently, you picked it up and handed it to him, as he had asked. His fingertips brushed yours in the exchange; his gentle touch sending tingles through your body.

Quickly retreating, you returned to your spot against the wall where you so often watched Victor perform his morning routine. You had come to visit him so often in the morning, that it had become your routine to watch him in the morning.

You looked on with lidded eyes as Victor took the length of ribbon between his teeth, his hands working in tandem to tame his long tresses. Pressing your body against the cold wall, it did little to cool your heated core.

Loose locks fell to one side, curtaining his face, his jeweled gaze intense as he stared into the mirror as he swept his long strands into a ponytail. Your lips parted as you watched him tame his hair, hair that you so wanted to run your fingers through and feel his long, silky strands against your skin. Hair that you wanted to wrap around your fingers and give a gentle tug. 

Do you want to touch it?  You could hear his voice in your head, a soft, sensual purr teasing you with his wicked smirk.

Knees weakening, your body slid down against the hard tile of the bathroom walls. Your hand, resting on your belly, resisted the urge to inch down and touch yourself. Instead, you imagined the face that Victor might make if your body was atop his, your knees straddling his hips and you were to tug on his hair. A soft sigh escaped your lips. A sigh so soft, you didn’t even realize you had made the sound. 

That was, until Victor called your name. 

Snapping out of your reverie, your body straightened like an arrow as you attempted to regain some form of composure. You offered him a small smile, hoping this would keep your thoughts hidden. 

“After you,” he said, opening the door, his arm extended in a flourish, waiting for you to exit first. Embers burned in your belly, their fire not yet extinguished. 

And that was okay. Because as Victor had his morning routine, you had your evening routine where Victor came to visit you.

And lived out your morning fantasies.

desmond would definitely be the type to accidentally woo the og fm/otome protagonist AND the harem + bg characters. with the ikemen sengoku, it would be funny if desmond’s route is only unlocked after the mc finishes the entire game and gets all the ending cue the twist of video game protagonist! desmond getting isekaied. His bad route is probably going to be desmond sacrificing himself again :/ …. normal route is desmond just booking it and never finding the truth of who he actually was, rip pov outsider.

Let’s add @artduringclasstime’s reply to the previous post

Those four or so years where I played the Ikemen series religiously just came out of the woodwork to smack me in the face. Sasuke renamed himself after a fictional ninja the moment he went back in time, the STARS he'll have in his eyes upon meeting Desmond. ... and I can definitely see Kenshin going after Desmond. Whether it's for a fight or otherwise, even he doesn't know

Desmond had no plans to do such a thing in the first place. He has no idea why the hell any of these was happening to him.

He doesn’t understand that, because he’s an unknown character, whatever system is in place in the world sees him as a ‘player character’ which means… people have easier time to fall in love with him because of his personality.

I like to imagine that Desmond was given a buff in their affection rating like in the normal mode of “Villains are Destined to Die” where the ‘player character’ gets a 30% affinity already to the possible love interests like a “we’re sorry you’re stuck in our world” kind of apology buff from the ‘gods’ of this world.

Of course, that additional affinity is just there to make sure Desmond doesn’t get on the bad sides of the powerful men from the get go and can still go down or up, depending on Desmond’s action.

Sasuke would be the one to talk about Multiverses and such and how Desmond’s existence could mean that they themselves are a work of fiction in a different world.

Desmond is like “yeah, I get what you’re talking about but that’s not really helpful to our current situation?” which would embarrass Sasuke because he got too fired up about it.

So in this one, they sorta know Desmond’s true identity because Sasuke played Assassin’s Creed (for the history) so Sasuke gives them the idea that maybe a POE is also somewhere here since Desmond’s here.

It’s a long shot but it’s a possibility that they can’t just dismiss.

And that is the start of Desmond’s route. Depending on the player’s actions, the player character would later switch to Desmond for the secret BL route! (Which has a harem ending because why not?)

(Kenshin’s route is more on the side of enemies-to-lovers route with Desmond actually getting a headache over how ‘devoted’ to fighting Kenshin is).

His bad ending is them finding the POE and learning that it can be used to bring them back to their proper time and dimension BUT they will come back to it at the exact time they left so Desmond will return to his world only to die from the device ‘again’. He still goes through with it though because he wants to get Mai and Sasuke back to their time and he believes he’s been living in borrowed time. The normal ending, I believe, is Desmond not using the POE and finally leaving everyone with the idea that, if he’s stuck in this world, he’ll build a Brotherhood somewhere he’s more familiar with: Italy. In other words, the normal ending has Desmond alive but alone in a whole other country with no idea what happens to him afterwards.

The part where Desmond books it and no one finds out who he truly is would work as the ‘failed’ event of unlocking Desmond’s route.

To even unlock Desmond’s route, there would be two conditions:

(1) Finished all the endings for each route.

(2) Start a new game and go to a specific event that lets Mai walk in town (this will show up as a new ‘option’ during one of the early parts of the game)

(3) Choose the “Don’t scream” when Mai wakes up one night with a shadow looming above her after the previous event on condition (2).

If all conditions are done, Desmond is unlocked as a possible route but to get to the Desmond’s route, the choices to develop his affection must be chosen.

The condition to change to Desmond as the main character and enter the BL route is to actually develop his affection up to 30% only but keep all affections to other characters at 29% or below before Sasuke appears and tells Mai and Desmond that Desmond is a character from the franchise Assassin’s Creed.

Event for newbies (Ikemen Villains) Part 1

Part 1 Part 2

Anyone who has played at least one Ikemen game knows that it's mean. But I don't like to leave gaps in my explanations, so I'll explain everything.

It exists solely to help new players. To get new clothes for your dolls, backgrounds and other things for the dollhouse… And (which is more important), by reading the stories, figure out what to expect from boys.

The event is split into two parts, and you can take a break between them, just not too much… there is a time limit… two weeks or so.

It all started with Victor's strange statement… Kate needs to choose one of the guys and spend the day as if they were lovers. Wha??? To understand them better. This must be done for her work at Crown. I mean… There was a more appropriate reason for this in Ikepri… But here… Victor decided, and that's it. He's quite eccentric.…

This is what event look like in Ikevil.

There are 5 stories in the first part. William, Liam, Jude, Elbert and Roger. At that time, I didn't like most of the boys, so I didn't read them all (sadly). But fortunately, the game will be released in English this spring, so this time I'ill definitely read them.

I finished Liam, Elbert and (I can't believe I did this) Roger.

So… I'll tell you about these routes… a little bit. There are translations on tumblr if you wanna know more… The event is called "Wicked love blooming in the dark night".

Liam

It seemed so unfair… even cheating… He brings Kate to the orphanage. Children, a very handsome and kind actor performing something wonderful, sweet dreams and that's it. But while she was sleeping, he was doing his job and didn't tell her about it because…. she asked about a pleasant and simple day before it started. And that's who Liam is. Cute kitten.

Elbert

At first… Alfons plays the role of matchmaker (this is not the last time he does this). Elbert is extremely handsome and quite, so without Alfons, I doubt Kate would even get close to him… They go to a party, and Elbert starts acting possessive, protecting Kate. He even locked her in a room while he had to do something… But Alfons came and opened the door… A good Samaritan. The story got darker and darker, and in the epilogue, I was seriously scared of this guy.

Roger

I don't like this guy like... at all. There was a time when I thought he's like Faust from IkeVamp… But now… He's Jin, definitely Jin from IkePri… And I don't like Jin either.

But it wasn't in vain. I got a blouse that looks pretty decent. And Ellis promised to join us later…

This is not exactly what I imagined.. But I'm always happy to see you, babe, even if it's for work.

In the end, as a reward for her hard work, Roger drugged Kate with some kind of aphrodisiac… (exhales)… Sorry, guy, I'm not interested anyway.

(to be continued)

Hi there! Could I request ikemen villain Mc with galaxy eyes, suitors reaction. Thank you!

Often finds himself staring into your eyes, love-struck. I can imagine his chin resting on his hand with a sigh when he looks down on you in the gardens when he's in his room looking out of the window like in those romance movies

Buys you little trinkets that match your eyes, like a purple, blue and pink one. Gets fucking ecstatic when he sees you wearing his little gifts

Loves how they twinkle in the night sky and refuses to let a single strand of hair cover your eyes, saying it covers your beauty

Compliments you on the daily no I will not elaborate

Secretly hates it when you go out because then other people will fawn over your eyes when it's only meant to be seen by him. You always go out with him

#𝐄𝐋𝐁𝐄𝐑𝐓 𝐆𝐑𝐄𝐄𝐓𝐈𝐀

He fell in love with you. Love at first sight doesn't matter the gender. If you're a male, and Elbert thought he wasn't gay... turns out he is he just needed you to show him pookie

Would have thought about cutting your eyes open a few times so he can keep your eyeballs... probably told you when you were a few months into the relationship which lowkey freaked you out

Refuses to let you go out for the same reasons as William, he doesn't want anyone else to see your beauty

Give him puppy eyes and he will literally bow to your feet, whatever you ask him he shall deliver. He won't even hesitate to even betray the Crown for you

Often takes you to the gardens at night to look at the stars, he enjoys your little 'wows' and cute giggles to when you talk about things. Makes him fall in love with you more

#𝐄𝐋𝐋𝐈𝐒 𝐓𝐖𝐈𝐋𝐈𝐆𝐇𝐓

Unlike the other two, he loves to show you off, so that everyone knows you belong to him

Somehow starts to write poetry... not sure if it's canon that he writes poetry but whatever. He also likes to make flower crowns for you, specially in blue, purple and pink to match your eyes

Especially loves the mornings when you just wake up. He wakes up earlier than you just for him to see your eyes fluttering open

Talkes about you a lot... Jude has to stop him as soon as your name is mentioned in conversation otherwise he will not stop

If you gift him any galaxy-themed ornaments he will literally never let you go you're staying with him forever

Ellis Twilight — Villain’s Night Story Event

Chapter 1

I do not own any contents of Ikemen Villains. This story being uploaded in this blog belongs solely to CYBIRD. Please support them by downloading their games and buying their stories. Both English and Japanese are not my mother tongue languages, please keep in mind that there will be mistakes and added words for my own preferences. I translate for my personal entertainment and for my own practice only.

On the eve of Halloween, the smell of sweet sweets drifted in the kitchen of Crown Castle.

Victor: "It's about time to finish baking. Now, take the scones out of the oven."

Ellis: “Miss Kate, let me do it, I don't want you to get burned.”

Kate: "Thank you very much. Ellis, please be careful.”

Ellis: "Hmm. ......Oh, it's baked beautifully."

Victor: "Ahahaha, it’s my secret recipe for scones with extra butter.”

We cheered as we looked at the scones, which were perfectly baked as if they were for sale.

Tomorrow, October 31st, Halloween will come to England, and the city will be bustling.

I was talking with Ellis about whether we could do something for the people of the town.

I decided to hand out scones after learning from Victor.

We don't live in the sunshine, but it shouldn't be a bummer if we do this every now and then.

(.....It's so Ellis to be so friendly and kind to the people of the town that he wants to distribute sweets.)

Victor: "Are you going to distribute this tomorrow?"

Kate: "Yes, I intend to do so."

Victor: "That's very nice. As expected of my kind-hearted Ellis and Kate!"

Ellis: “Victor... You hug is a little bit too strong."

Victor: "Oops, my apologies! My love has overflowed."

Victor: "But be careful of one thing. Tomorrow is 'Night of the Moonbeams'."

Kate: "Night of the Moonbeams…?”

Victor: "Oh, I see. Kate, I haven't told you yet."

Victor explains it to me.

Every few years, when Halloween falls on a full or new moon, it is said that the "sin of the cursed will be intensified".

It is also known as "Night of the Moonbeams" because moon flowers bloom to coincide with the festival.

(...Such strange things happen. Maybe it's because of the phases of the moon?)

Kate: “Thank you for your concise explanation. So, what actually happens when sin intensifies?'

Victor: "As much as i’d like to tell you, I don't really know what will happen!”

Kate: "Eh?"

Victor: "The last time the Moonbeams Night happened was 20 years ago."

Victor: “Twenty years ago...Most of the children of Clowns weren't even aware that they were cursed, were they?"

Kate: “Yes, that's right. Let's see, Ellis, 20 years ago...”

Ellis: "...I wonder if I'm finally able to speak?"

Kate & Victor: ".............Cute"

Ellis: “...Fufu, both of you are sharing the voices of your hearts.”

Kate: "Oh, I'm sorry. I just...”

Victor: “Ahem. So, to sum it up, tomorrow is your first dangerous night in 20 years."

Victor: “You never know what's going to happen. You have to be back before the moon rises in the sky.”

…

Ellis and I carry the cooled scones and wrap them one by one.

Kate: “By the way, the decorations in this dining room are amazing...”

Ellis: 'It's a tradition. I help Victor every year."

Ellis muttered something in between the casual conversation.

Ellis: "Is it okay if you come with me…..tomorrow?"

Kate: “Eh…..?”

Ellis: “Aren't you afraid of me, Miss Kate?”

Ellis: "If you're even a little scared, I'll stop being with you."

Ellis: ".....I just want to make you happy, but I don't want to scare you."

(Because you never know what might happen on the Moonbeams Night, right?)

To be honest, I don't know what will happen tomorrow, either.

(I only know that Ellis will never do what I don't like.)

(Besides, I don't want to be afraid of Ellis.)

Kate: “I want to be with you. It's our first Halloween together."

Ellis: ".....Thank you, Miss Kate. ...Actually, I also wanted to be with you."

Ellis's sweet smile makes me smile too.

Kate: “Then we're in this together."

Ellis: “…Yes, together.”

Ellis: “But I can't even imagine what a heightened sin of my curse would look like.....”

(Huh? Speaking of which.)

Kate: "I still haven’t known about Ellis's curse."

Ellis: "Oh, is that so?" :0

Ellis: "......Then guess what it is." :D

For example, William is the curse of the king of self-righteousness, so I think sin is self-righteousness and condemnation.

(Ellis comes with Thorn curse. So to think.....)

Kate: “.....Do you stab the other person?"

Ellis: “Fufu, lovely. Slightly incorrect."

Kate: “U-uh, well then—“

Ellis chuckled as he stared at my thinking face.

Ellis: “I think I'll just shut up for a bit because you're so cute looking for answers.”

Ellis: "......If possible, I want you to keep not knowing."

Ellis: "If you know the answer, tell me."

…

Then, on Halloween day, we headed out into town with our wrapped scones in hand.

It is said that Halloween in the UK lacks excitement, the city is found to be livelier and more buoyant than usual.

An old woman who sells fruit: "Oh, Ellis, little girl. Happy Halloween."

Ellis: "Hello, Anna."

Ellis: "Hey... Trick or Treat?”

An old woman who sells fruit: ".....? Trick or treat?”

Ellis: “Yes, treat. ...Here you go."

An old woman who sells fruit: “Oh my God. ......Are these homemade? Oh roastie, thank you, you two."

Bookshop owner: "Hey, Ellis! Miss Kate! Those are sweeties, aren’t they?"

Bookshop owner: “Well, then, be my guest. Trick or treat!"

Ellis: “Here you go. It's got lots of butter, so it's bound to be good.”

A child dressed as a ghost: "Brother, sister! Trick or Treat!"

Ellis: "Be careful not to fall.... Yes, please."

(Fufu, Ellis is very popular! And everyone seems to be having fun.....)

…

When the sun began to set, the scones in the basket were empty.

Kate: "Wow... All's gone now. It went by so fast."

Ellis: "Yeah. Oh, that's right."

Ellis: “Miss Kate, do you want to trick-or-treat with…me too?”

(…..With you?)

Kate: “…Trick or Treat?”

Ellis: "Yes, please. I hid the last one for you."

Kate: "B-but if I get it, I'll get Ellis's share...”

Ellis: "I'm fine. .....If you're happy, that's enough."

Ellis: "Or do you want to play a trick on me?"

Kate: 'O-oh, sweets are good. Thank you."

Ellis: "Fufu, you're welcome."

(Ellis really is always thinking about people's happiness, isn't he?)

He puts his own desires aside and always puts other people's feelings first, that's Ellis I know.

To give me the last of the sweets without any hesitation.

Every time I see Ellis like that, I admire his kindness, and then I feel a little lonely.

(I wish I could make you happy, Ellis, instead of just having you do things to me.)

Bar owner: “Ellis, missy! Stop by the tavern. I'll buy you a drink for the scones."

Me and Ellis look up at the sky at the same time.

The sun has just started to tilt, and it seems that there will still be time before the moon appears.

Ellis: “Miss Kate, are you leaving now? Or do you want to go to the tavern with me?”

Jude Jazza~ Luxury Liner Event ~Part 1

This a fan translation so it is definitely not 100% accurate. I do not own anything related to Ikemen Villains. Support Cybird by buying their amazing stories!

The port, bathed in pleasant sunshine, is bustling with large numbers of passengers.

Today, the weather is perfect for travel.

Jude: “What’re you doing?”

(No way, I didn’t think my companion would be Jude…!)

—Flashback—

It was yesterday morning.

Kate: “The maiden voyage of the luxury liner ‘Orellus’… I love it. It’s a dream come true.”

I looked at the newspaper with pictures of the luxury cruise ship that would finally set sail tomorrow and muttered to myself.

William, who was elegantly drinking tea, gave me a meaningful smile.

William: “Do you want to ride?”

Kate: “Fufu, yes. I guess I’ll be lucky if I get to ride it even once in my life.”

William: “Then you should go. I happen to have one ticket left.”

Kate: “Eh?”

—End Flashback—

(“Other members of Crown are also planning to board, so you’ll be together.” William said.)

Kate: “…By any chance, Jude, will you be on this ship too?”

Jude: “Why else would I come here? Ta wave goodbye and say have a nice trip?”

(I would like to see that.)

I tried imagining it, but immediately after Jude waved his hand, the image of the ship being wrecked came to my mind and I gave up.

 Jude is looking down at me with a look of genuine astonishment.

Kate: “…What is it?”

Jude: “Why’d ya come here knowin’ nothing?”

Kate: “Nothing, what…?”

Ellis: “I think it’s a mission.”

Kate:: “Ellis…!”

In contrast to Jude, Ellis appeared with a gentle smile on his face.

Ellis: “I heard from Will that you’re going to board with us… Is that okay? It’s a pretty dangerous mission.”

William’s meaningful smile and condition of boarding “with the Crown” finally made sense.

Kate: “What is your mission?”

Ellis: “Actually—”

On the maiden voyage of the luxury liner Orellus, the boss of a gang that has been rocking Britain lately will be on board.

I got that information a few days ago.

The police were supposed to move in with a chance to take him into custody, but,

The police were denied access to the ship due to pressure from the aristocratic member of the House of Lords who would be boarding.

Ellis: “This Congressman, Blackwood, was taking donations from gang bosses…”

Ellis: “He’s covering it up, facilitating, and helping to do all kinds of bad things behind the scenes.”

Kate: “That sucks…”

When I heard Ellis’s explanation, those words came out of my mouth without thinking.

Gang activities range from extortion and robbery to illegal gambling.

People involved with crimes ranging from unreasonable violence to murder make daily headlines in the newspaper.

(You let it go unchecked just to line your own pockets…)

Ellis: “Victor said ‘If you’re dealing with money and power, and you’re on a boat trip, Jude is the man for the job.’”

Kate: “So, Jude easily accepted the offer…?”

Ellis: “’It’s like a hobby to torture people like that arsehole, so sure.’ He said.”

Kate: “I see… so your bad taste matches the mission…”

Jude: “Oi, you say that.”

(In other words, this ship has a gang boss and a congressman on board who backs him…)

For a long period of time, I’ll be with them on board the ship, where there’s no escape.

(Without a doubt, this won’t end as a peaceful voyage.)

--For a moment, I almost feel frightened, but—

Jude: “Don’t do it, princess.”

Jude: “People like you, if ya throw ‘em into the den of these bastards, they’ll eat ya straight away.”

As soon as I saw the arrogant sneer of contempt, I felt more frustrated than afraid.

Kate: “…I’m in… if it’s a mission, I also need to record it as a ‘fairy tale’”.

Kate: “I myself would like to like to help with the mission for the sake of peace in Britain.”

Jude: “That’s a great cause.”

Jude: “The ya can’t complain even if ya lose yer life for that, right?”

(As  Jude always says, I may be too ignorant of the dirty world.)

Kate: “Since I was given a ticket,”

Kate: “Doesn’t that mean William thought I should accompany you on this mission?”

Kate: “If that’s so, then I want to try as hard as I can. Also…”

Kate: “It’s frustrating that you’re looking down on me all the time.”

(That… I)

It wasn’t until I said it out loud that I realized that the reason I added at the end was the primary motivation.

(Why…How does  Jude see me?)

(I wonder why I care so much.)

Jude: “…”

Jude remained silent and put his hand on my chin.

His cold amethyst eyes narrowed fiercely as he leaned closer.

Jude: “…Look at that cheeky face of yours, yer a mess.”

(…)

My heart fluttered at his teasing gaze.

Deep within the knife-like coldness I feel it’s filled with heat—an unidentifiable shiver ran through me.

Jude: “Well, why not? It’s a lousy boat trip where yer stuck breathin’ the same air as a bunch of shitty people for days on end.”

Jude: “At best, I’ll enjoy torturing you.”

Kate: “Wha…”

With a provocative whisper, Jude let me go.

(Torture me… What are you going to do?)

Riding the sea breeze, the scent of Jude filled my nose.

When I’m with Jude, I somehow forget myself.

My heart was beating a strangely fast rhythm.

(This is…I’m going on a dangerous mission, so maybe that’s why I’m nervous.)

(There’s no other reason why my heart is pounding…)

The luxury liner I boarded was beyond my imagination.

Like a first-class hotel, it’s glittery and eye-catching.

Man with a scar on his face: “Hey look… It’s Jude Jazza.”

Good-looking aristocrat: “Heh… hmm, hide it, please.”

When Mr. Jude passes by, rough-looking people stare at him and the nobles turn pale and dodge to the side of the room.

With a cool look on his face, Jude rushed through without hesitation.

Kate: “Umm… Where are you going?”

Jude: “It’s a given, isn’t it?”

Jude: “Where princesses scream.”

(Uh, scream…?)

I almost stop walking for a moment, but Ellis quicky answered my question.

Ellis: “It’s okay, it’s just a casino.”

Kate: “…Thank you, Ellis.”

(You’re trying to threaten me into going home again… I won’t take it anymore.)

Kate: “Come to think of it, you didn’t get lost, but it’s the first time you’ve been on the ship.”

Ellis: “Jude told me to memorize the floor plan of every place we go for a mission.”

Kate: “You’re surprisingly thorough, aren’t you?”

Jude: “Luxury cruise ships’re full of blind spots and closed rooms. I dunno what kind of person would go on a luxury liner without knowing the layout.”

Kate: “As long as I’m not as hated as you, Jude, I should be fine.”

Jude: “You don’t understand.”

Jude: “Like I said before, someone like you’ll be devoured immediately.”

Jude: “If ya let yer guard down ‘cause yer resentful, you’ll be dragged in.”

Laughing through his nose, Jude bent down slightly and put his lips to my ear as we walked next to each other.

Jude: “I guess yer dressed up all ‘cute’ for the luxury liner ride,”

Jude: “but it’s like yer askin’ ta be served up.”

Kate: “…Huh?”

(Wha…)

The word ‘cute’ suddenly thrown into the conversation caused my body temperature to soar.

Kate: “That is NOT true!”

Jude: “Why don’t you try that on someone who flinches when ya say somethin’ like an accusation?”

Jude: “During the voyage, everyone gets as jumpy as a monkey, try not to get caught in the middle.”

Ellis: “You never know what kind of people are out there, so be careful.”

Kate: “Uh… yes, thank you.”

(It would be nice if Jude would give me kind advice like Ellis…)

Holding back my pounding heart, I quickened my pace so I wouldn’t be left behind.

(Wow…so hot…)

The casino was crowded not only with aristocrats, but also with rough people.

A fistfight broke out at the table next to us, and the people around us were stunned when they started cheering happily without stopping.

Kate: “Is this what you mean by shitty people…?”

Jude: “Huh? O’course not. If they’re shitty people then eighty percent of the world is shitty people.”

(…In Jude’s world, really rough things happen on a daily basis.)

Jude quicky exchanged a large amount of chips, walked over to the baccarat table, and bet everything on a draw.

The crowd surrounding the table suddenly roared.

Kate: “What kind of game is that?”

Ellis: “You bet on whether the player will win or the dealer.” 5124

Ellis: “Add up all the cards dealt to you, and the one who’s last number is closest to nine wins.”

Ellis: “If you bet on a draw and you win, the payout is multiplied by nine, which means your chips are multiplied by nine.”

Kate: “N-nine times…?”

(Even now it’s a lot of chips, but nine times that amount…)

Ellis: “But the chances of a draw are very slim, and if we lose, we lose it all…”

(Wha, everything…!?)

Just imagining how much money is being bet with what the probability is makes me dizzy.

Kate: “Maybe you should think about it more…”

Instinctively, I walk up to Jude and whisper in his ear, but—

Jude: “Ye can’t be stingy when yer tryin’ to ear a bunch’a money ya know.”

Kate: “But…”

Jude: “Besides, if I wanted to make money, I wouldn’t be gambling.”

(Huh…?)

(So there’s… some other purpose?)

Despite my worries, the game was soon over and the result was…

Kate: “It’s really a draw…”

Ellis: “Jude’s used to winning, you see.”

(Why is that…?)

I couldn’t help but stare at Jude, his expression cool.

(Jude… he really lives in a completely different world.)

His standard of right and wrong, his sense of money, everything. Everything is so different from my common sense.

That, for some reason, pricked my chest.

Jude used his nine-fold increase in chips to gamble wildly here and there.

Jude: “What’s the matter with ya? Is there anyone who can make a worse bet?”

(Saying things like that is like picking fights indiscriminately.)

(What is your plan, Jude?)

At that time, a man sat down on the chair next to Jude.

The middle-aged man with a cigar in his mouth was dressed like an aristocrat, but his eyes were fixed and there was an air of unease about him.

Noble with the cigar: “Cigar?”

Jude: “…I’ll take one.”

Jude took a cigar and lit it.

(You smoke cigars too… I didn’t know that.)

(Even so, this person is… who?)

Jude: “Yer a member of the House of Lords. Blackwood, right?”

(…! This man is the lawmaker who receives money from a gang!?)

Tension ran through my body at once.

Blackwood: “…I like gambling too, you could say I’ve devoted my life to it.”

(…I see.)

(Jude, you knew this guy liked to gamble, so you were gambling to lure him out.)

(I can’t believe you lured him out so brazenly…amazing dexterity and courage.)

I am secretly impressed—

Blackwood: “But, it’s boring to just bet money.”

Blackwood: “You have to bet something more important to make it… exciting.”

Jude: “Heh, yeah.”

Jude: “If ye do, I’ll bet all of my fortune and… this woman.”

Kate: “What!?”
