My older sister is a villainous rich girl

He likes Chris.

He enjoyed the time he spent with her.

He was satisfied with the sense of identity she gave him.

My heart races when I get close to someone, and I miss them when we don't see each other for a long time.

He also wanted to possess her completely forever, didn't want her to get close to other men, and wanted her to never leave his side...

Every little detail is something I love.

Such a clear and intense liking could never be something fake.

Seeing his serious expression, Eve smiled.

"So... what does Gothic Edgeworth mean to you?"

The smile on her lips seemed both teasing and mocking.

Chapter 191 "Because it's Wayne"

Long, long ago, in that past that he had almost forgotten.

【Huh? Why?】

The default notification sound of the communication software plays.

In the chat box, a friend sent a big question mark emoji, seemingly very puzzled.

What's the point of a dual female lead storyline? Didn't the original female lead barely have any screen time?

His friend didn't understand his favorite pairing.

In this chaotic reverse harem subplot, the dual female protagonist storyline stands out starkly amidst a barrage of popular pairings and comments from fans.

Why? Actually, he didn't quite understand either.

As a viewer, you can like many characters at the same time, but which one you like better probably depends on your personal preference.

His response at the time was:

I don't know either, lol.

If I had to explain why, it's probably because I'm the kind of person who... will always have a soft spot for the female lead.

Regardless of the form of expression, whether it's animation or a novel, if it doesn't suit his taste, that's fine. But without exception, all works that he likes are those where the female protagonist can move him.

No matter how high the external praise or how prestigious the reputation, if there are no outstanding female characters, it is all tasteless in his eyes.

This has always been his unique bias when selecting various animations or novels.

He treats all the characters he likes as his two-dimensional wives.

As time went by, his collection of anime/manga waifus gradually increased until he couldn't even count them all.

The same applies to "The Villainess Chris".

In the first 11 episodes, he was successfully attracted by the two female protagonists and became a loyal fan of the anime.

However, when I got to the last episode...

He immediately stopped being a fan.

'What kind of hell is this, watching my newly chosen anime waifu marry another male supporting character in the blink of an eye?!'

If you were to interview him back then, he might say, "In short, I regret it now, I really regret it. I shouldn't have clicked on this anime in the first place."

Seriously, he originally intended to leave a bad review.

He started reading novels in middle school and occasionally came across plots where the female protagonist couldn't be with the male protagonist due to various obstacles.

He could still accept this, after all, even a regrettable ending has its own unique beauty.

but!

Why insist on showing them turning to other male characters? Doesn't that just make people feel the pain of being NTR'd?!

For someone with a generally omnivorous palate, this was the only category he found completely unacceptable.

Although I have never met a girl in real life who makes my heart flutter.

However, he encountered it in the world of anime.

—And there are many.

He used to think that living like this wasn't so bad.

My life isn't particularly exciting, but I'm not particularly dissatisfied either.

Perhaps this is what an ordinary person's life is like?

I originally thought that things would continue like this for the foreseeable future.

However, an accident suddenly occurred.

The "Chris" who only existed in the two-dimensional world appeared in front of him unexpectedly.

Her beauty is dazzling.

She truly matched his imagination of her, and in some ways, even far exceeded his expectations.

The heart hidden deep within, which had never been moved by real-life girls, seemed to have malfunctioned.

I'll like this person as soon as I see them.

As I accompanied her to do anything, my affection for her steadily increased. Until, I wanted to possess her completely.

That's probably... the terrifying charm of the female lead.

……

Another morning dawned, and Wayne woke up in bed.

Lying on his back in a very relaxed position, he silently thought that he hadn't dreamed about his past life in a long time.

It is indeed difficult to let go of the regret of having one's life cut short.

But over time, time eventually fades many things away.

Now he has new family, friends, and a lover.

I originally planned to enjoy life to the fullest and live this extra life without regrets.

However, the things I did with this idea in mind seemed a bit too greedy.

Am I creating an even bigger regret?

—Will I regret it when I look back on this many years from now?

My thoughts are in turmoil.

He closed his eyes, and the conversation he had with Eve the day before resurfaced in his mind.

"...What does Gollie Edgeworth mean to you?"

To his own surprise, when he heard those words, he didn't feel even a hint of panic.

—Ah, we've been discovered.

I felt inexplicably relieved.

It's like the sense of relief when the other shoe finally lands.

"When did you find out?" he asked instead of answering.

Although he had a premonition that the truth would eventually come out, he still thought he had covered it up perfectly.

"You're in the music room..."

Eve paused for a moment, a look of disgust on her face, and didn't say the rest.

“...I knew it back then,” she said.

Wayne nodded knowingly.

It seems like it's been quite a while, and it's fortunate that she didn't directly publicize their affair.

Otherwise, if things escalate, it might be difficult to resolve.

"That woman is incredibly audacious," Eve sneered. "She'd do something like this just to hurt Lady Chris."

Wayne frowned subconsciously.

—Gory wasn't trying to hurt Chris.

But he had no intention of arguing with her about it.

"If that's the case, why did you keep it a secret for me?" he asked, puzzled. "I thought you would definitely take Chris's side and give me a good scolding."

Upon hearing this, Eve's smile faded.

She stared at him with her calm eyes for a while before slowly saying, "I'm not helping you."

"I did this for Chris."

As she spoke, Eve's tone turned mocking.

"You two, you must have fallen out by now, right?"

Her words were profound.

Wayne was taken aback for a moment, then his expression became extremely complicated.

...They did have a falling out, but then they made up.

He opened his mouth to defend himself, but didn't know where to begin.

Should I tell her that it's because my relationship with Ge Li has progressed further, so I'm being more careful when we meet in private?

As the saying goes, the most dangerous place is the safest place.

No one could have imagined that he would be so bold as to climb through the Edgeworth house window in the middle of the night.

"Because it's you, Wayne... I'm willing to give you one last chance."

—That's what Eve said that afternoon.

Lying in bed, Wayne let out a long sigh.

Chapter 192 I also think this place is nice!

I wanted to question myself about the strange selection process I was forced to participate in before, and those strange rumors about Richard and Lawrence.

However, she diverted the conversation by mentioning the song.

Last chance...

Does that mean if she finds out again, we'll have to take concrete action?

—Will you let Chris know about it too?

He stared at the ceiling, lost in thought.

However, a sound suddenly came from outside the door, growing louder as it approached.

"Wayne! Aren't you up yet?"

Then, there was a light knock on the door twice, and it was quickly pushed open.

Chris walked in.

She wore a very ladylike long dress today, and her thick blonde hair was all tied up, revealing a section of her fair neck.

Wayne tilted his head, looked her up and down, and asked with some doubt, "Are you going out?"

Seeing that he was still lying on the bed without moving, Chris walked over in annoyance and tried to pull off his blanket.

"Get up! The Chamber of Commerce has been urging us to choose a location for the publishing house headquarters as soon as possible. It's been dragging on for so long."

Wait, whose fault is it then?

Wayne laughed and covered the corner of the blanket, implying, "Don't lift it, or you'll see something ugly."

Hearing him say that, Chris blushed slightly and said reproachfully, "Then...then hurry up."
