Chapter 10: The Commander's Son Eats Lunch With His Villainess

"Ah, Arth!"

When I finished talking with Rinse and returned to the classroom, Alice, who was still surrounded by others, noticed me and approached me. That gesture was so cute that I pulled Alice's hand as she approached me and invited her to my chest and hugged her.

"Eh, Arth!? Wha, what..."

"I'm sorry. you're just too cute."

Yellow screams are heard here and there. "Kyaa! Look at them, they're hugging each other!" "That Alice-sama's face is blushing..." "What a lovey-dovey thing!" Seeing me hugging Alice, everyone seems to be talking in their own way, but I don't think so and said without any hesitation.

"If you don't like it, I'll let you go... but what do you think?"

"Uu~! I don't hate it, but it's embarrassing~!"

"Then I'll stop?"

"... please hold me like this"

"You're Welcome"

When I hugged her tightly, Alice shyly pressed her face against my chest. It goes without saying that the cuteness of Alice's attitude and the warmth of Alice on her chest made me almost agonize over.

"Alice... I hope you'll get better soon."

I say that to Alice next to me while eating lunch. In the classroom earlier, after I appealed to her as a woman in order to keep a check on her, Alice seemed to be pungent as if she was really angry.

"Alice. Sorry about earlier. I just couldn't stand it."

"I'm not particularly angry... but if you were to suddenly do something like that, I would need to be mentally prepared..."

I smiled at the words I heard in a low voice in the second half.

"I'm sorry. I'll listen to whatever you say instead, so could you forgive me?"

"... ho, is it really anything?"

"Of course. Say anything."

"Then... ah, please feed me"

Hearing those words, I couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"What is it?"

"No, it made me happy because it was a cute request. I'm sure Alice wasn't really interested in that sort of thing."

"Wow, even I'm interested! Because I'm a girl before a lady..."

"Oh, Alice is a pretty girl. By the way, what other requests do you have?"

When I heard that, Alice thought for a while and then said something.

"Um... I want to hold your hand and walk."

"Okay, we'll do it later. What else?"

"I want to try a knee pillow."

"Well then, if you do it, I'll do it for you as well. What else?"

"Well... this time I want you to hug me from behind."

"Yes Yes"

"Also... is it okay a princess hug as well...?"

"Yeah, let's do it."

Alice smiled happily when she said that. It seems that her mood has improved a little, so I decided to grant the first request for the time being. I scooped up soft-looking vegetables with a spoon and held them out to Alice.

"Say Ah"

"Ah..."

Alice shyly eats vegetables from my spoon. After tasting it slowly for a while, Alice nodded.

"Oh, it's delicious..."

"That's good. Then, can you feed me too?"

"yeah?"

I said with a smile to the startled Alice.

"Because it seems like it would be more delicious if you let me eat it from Alice."

"I understand"

After saying that, Alice brought out a spoon with a trembling hand. I ate it without any particular concern, then nodded and said.

"Yeah, after all the food that Alice let me eat is the most delicious."

"Is that so?"

"Ehehe ..." Alice laughs. Her cuteness made me stand up and turn around to hug Alice.

"Eh, Arth! What are you doing..."

"I'm sorry but feed me while I'm like this"

"Hey, are you eating?"

"Yes."

When I said that, Alice hesitated for a while, then nodded slightly.

"K-it's only for today... Arth."

"Thank you Alice"

Spending the day together like that is nothing short of fun. I wish this kind of time would last forever, but that's just not the way it is. That's why I'm going to do my best to spend more time like this with Alice.

No matter what obstacles lie ahead, I will never give up. Protect Alice. If the world rejects Alice, I will fight the world. Otome game? Villainess? I didn't care about that. Alice is Alice. She's my one and only cute fiancée. I will do anything to protect this smile. Be it beautiful or dirty. If I can stay with Alice, I will. I'm aware that I'm a heavy and troublesome man from the world's point of view, but if I can still protect Alice, that's fine. No, that's good.

Well, in the end, I guess I like Alice too much. It was one in the afternoon when I thought about such things.
