Get Ahead of the Fallen Heroine and Make the Bull-Headed Man the Victim

97. Is it strange that my evil god is a bit mischievous?

After leaving the brothel on the underground street, Noah chose to rest directly, not appearing before Valentina the next day, but instead going to Sister Clotilde to express his disdain.

The morning of the third day seemed no different from usual.

But that was just on the surface, as a major event would occur that afternoon.

Noah wasn’t just observing Valentina; he had also started keeping an eye on Allen’s actions.

So Noah was very clear that today was the day Allen planned to confront Valentina.

He recalled the days when he could only frown at the screen, watching as the female protagonist he had painstakingly leveled up was ultimately taken by the blonde guy.

Then he thought back to the days he spent with Valentina after becoming the hidden BOSS of this other world.

Noah couldn’t help but sigh at how he really loved to meddle.

But there was no helping it; after all, he had promised that if he could lend a hand, he would definitely help out.

Moreover, he simply couldn’t stand watching Valentina, the female protagonist he favored, being sullied by those blonde guys.

Although today wasn’t the true ending, for Valentina and for Noah, who had been waiting for this moment for so long, it was a crucial turning point to settle their grievances.

After sending the blonde guy away, it would be time to sever ties with the victim, and then all he had to do was defeat this hidden BOSS that had been giving the princess nightmares. At that point, even the final BOSS of the original story wouldn’t be able to face the far more wicked fallen princess.

“…Don’t blame me, Allen; after all, you, like the victim, just rub me the wrong way and fail to satisfy my emotional needs.”

Sitting on the ultra-soft sofa, Noah revealed a malicious grin as he watched the blonde Allen on the magic array monitor.

At this moment, no one would doubt Noah’s identity as the evil god.

To casually twist the lives of others based on his own preferences—that was precisely what an evil god could do.

But there was no helping it; who told Noah he had crossed over as the hidden BOSS of an evil god?

If he were a goddess, wouldn’t he be able to save the female protagonist through legitimate means and defeat the blonde Allen?

However, to be fair, Noah still thought being an evil god was better.

Because who knows if becoming a goddess would forcibly change him and he wouldn’t be able to revert back?

Noah certainly didn’t want to lose his second brother.

But he really felt that Clyde, as the victim, could be sacrificed.

After seeing Clyde, who was working, easily knocked out and taken away by Allen’s subordinates, Noah’s face showed no sign of fluctuation, as this completely aligned with his expectations.

Allen intended to take Valentina, who was ‘the victim’s girlfriend,’ right in front of the victim.

And when a passerby, also one of Allen’s subordinates, informed Valentina that she had to go to a certain place alone, the princess displayed an extremely shaken and anxious expression.

Noah’s face, however, was filled with excitement as the plot unfolded just as he had predicted.

What the heck! Wasn’t he quite capable after all!

This was solid!

Although the princess looked quite flustered now, soon it would be Allen who would be in a predicament!

Excited, Noah felt like cheering and jumping up as if he were watching a game.

“…Wait a minute, just watching such an exciting plot unfold from the sidelines is a bit too boring; I might as well go to the scene and witness it firsthand.”

And when Noah suddenly realized that he indeed preferred being on-site, just like last time with Princess Dilia…

Noah decisively arrived at Allen’s stronghold ahead of Valentina.

It was located in a park within the old district of the royal capital.

This place stood in stark contrast to the fountain square in front of the royal castle—desolate and dilapidated, clearly having gone many years without proper maintenance.

Along the route from the urban area of the royal capital to here, there would be a demon stationed at intervals to block the way. Valentina needed to defeat at least seven different types of elite demons before she could stand before Allen.

This was very much in line with the RPG concept of villains sending their minions one by one.

Notably, Allen had deliberately informed his subordinates that Valentina was not that strong, to prevent any of them from being unwilling to confront her.

In other words, from the very beginning, Allen had planned to sacrifice these subordinates to allow Valentina to reach him.

He claimed that whoever defeated Valentina would have the right to take her virginity, but in reality, Allen knew that this group of subordinates would be no match for her.

It’s no wonder that Allen was one of the Four Demon Kings; while other demons were indeed quite evil, they wouldn’t go so far as to deceive their own.

Starting from the dusk of the afternoon, Valentina began to explore the labyrinth known as ‘Royal Capital: Old District Streets’ to rescue her childhood friend, who had been kidnapped by an unknown demon.

And at the center of the labyrinth, in this nameless old park, the blonde-haired Allen, using magic to put the victim Clyde into a deep sleep, was eagerly watching the park’s entrance, waiting for Valentina to kill his subordinates and appear before him.

Clyde, who had no special abilities and was merely a burden to Valentina, was now peacefully sleeping on the ground.

Despite the hard ground beneath him, he slept soundly, as if nothing could wake him no matter what happened.

However, the center of this labyrinth was not just occupied by the blonde-haired Allen and the victim Clyde; Noah was also present.

Yet neither Clyde nor Allen could possibly perceive Noah, who was deliberately concealing his presence.

“…”

Unlike the victim and the blonde, Noah lay leisurely on the grass of the park, feeling the slightly cool night breeze and watching Valentina’s brave battle through the magic array monitor.

He was all about taking it easy, as if on vacation.

Then, about an hour and twenty minutes later, Valentina finally defeated the seventh subordinate that Allen had arranged to block her path and appeared in the park.

It was now ten past seven in the evening; the sky over the royal capital had nearly darkened, and the few old streetlights in the park struggled to illuminate the surrounding night.

But no matter how hard they tried, they could never light up all the darkness.

Yet darkness itself is endless; once you join it, you naturally no longer fear other darkness.

“…She’s here.”

“Ah, yes, Mr. Allen, she finally arrived. I was getting quite impatient waiting.”

When the anxious figure that Allen had long been yearning for finally appeared in his line of sight, Noah, who had come to his side, spoke to him in a relaxed tone, as if he were a friend.

Of course, Allen could not hear Noah’s voice at all.

This was ultimately just Noah’s own twisted amusement.

Just like with Princess Dilia last time, Noah wore a relaxed and cheerful smile, waiting for the show to begin.

However, at this moment, Noah was unaware that not only was Allen being played by the princess, but he himself was also being played.
