I Live With My Villain Uncle

 

Rosina Green, Celie Ritz, James Bolden, Tommy Dimito.

 

Kassel despised backstabbing, so he tended to memorize people from families that had anything to do with the business.

 

Like either the head of the household or the successor.

 

At least considering the fact that they had attended this banquet and that they were faces he had seen at least once, it meant that they weren’t even noble families stuck in a remote corner of the country.

 

Ah, although nobody knows what the future holds.

 

“You will have to take care of your wallet well from now on.
You need to get at least one dress out before there’s a hole in it.”

 

His bloody, smiling face was like a reaper.

 

After those words, Kassel left the seat without leaving any regrets.

 

“Hicc!”

 

As the overwhelming energy disappeared, Tommy hiccupped.

 

Rosina, who belatedly came to her senses after staring blankly at him walking away, hurriedly followed him.

 

“E-Excuse me, Marquis! W-What on earth are you talking about…!”

 

But after a while, she stopped walking.

 

It was because the rapidly disappearing figure and her voice overlapped.

 

It was just a threat, yet a chill ran down her spine.

 

“H-He seems to be very angry… W-Will we be okay?”

 

Celie soon followed Rosina.

 

“It’s a small slip of the tongue.
We didn’t say anything, it’ll be fine.
Even if the Marquis has a fiery temper, he won’t cause problems like this.”

 

“Then that’s a relief…”

 

Why do I feel chill like being hit by frost?

 

Rosina stood fidgeting with an anxious expression on her face, then turned her body around.

 

***

 

I followed Gerard out of the banquet hall first.

 

However, I couldn’t go to the carriage, that’s why I waited for Uncle in the hallway at the entrance to the banquet hall.

 

Perhaps, he’s not beating people up, is he?

 

I had never seen anything like that.

 

But Uncle’s face was really scary.

 

I only thought that Uncle shouldn’t be in danger, but I didn’t think that he would endanger others.

 

Oh, isn’t that more dangerous?

 

Yet I don’t think I can stop him now.

 

As soon as I remembered Uncle’s expression earlier, my body trembled.

 

It was then.

 

With blazing momentum, Uncle passed me and headed for the carriage.

 

I was going to follow, but Uncle’s aura was so fierce that I hesitated without even realizing it.

 

Uncle, who had been moving away quickly on his long legs, suddenly turned around.

 

“Short legs, you ain’t quickly coming?”

 

He stretched out his hand as if telling me to come quickly.

 

“I-I’m coming now!”

 

I ran quickly, fearing that Uncle would change his mind.

 

And as if it was a goal, I arrived in Uncle’s arms.

 

I burst out laughing without even realizing it.

 

As the tension disappeared only after Uncle called.

 

I guess he’s not very angry with me.

 

Gerard kept saying sorry to Uncle instead of me.

 

I stopped Gerard.

 

“I told you to protect the child.
Tsk.
I thought you knew how to go and slap them in the head.”

 

“I’ll take any punishment.”

 

“Peanut, what did you do well that made you smile? If you heard such a thing, wouldn’t you have to hit them in the head with a fork or kick them?”

 

…Uncle, I’m not so eccentric like you.

 

But it seemed like I was going to get scolded for saying that.

 

“Hehe, because I like Uncle.”

 

Then he stood tall and raised his eyebrows crookedly.

 

In an instant, the fire-like aura was extinguished.

 

“Only words?”

 

Seeing Uncle’s suspicious look, I shook my head.

 

“Noooo.
With all my heart, really! I like Uncle the most.”

 

Yet Uncle looked at me disgustingly and, instead of hugging me, tried to take me by my side.

 

“U-Uaakh A-Aika d-d-dying…”

 

I deliberately acted as if I was being rude while being tucked into Uncle’s side.

 

In fact, my side hurt a little.

 

Then Uncle walked away and stopped.

 

After a lot of hard work, I succeeded in being embraced by Uncle again.

 

“And Uncle, I’m really fine.”

 

“Fine you say, what’s fine.”

 

“Mom said so.”

 

“…”

 

“She said people who curse others for no reason are people with hell inside them.”

 

“What?”

 

“They feel so sick and hellish that they think they have to harm others.
Their stomachs are noisy and twisted, you know? She said that.
So let us just let them off the hook!”

 

“What do you mean letting them off the hook.”

 

“Because we’re cooler!”

 

The sound of air escaping came from Uncle’s mouth.

 

“Yeah, you’re good.”

 

“Uncle, have you liked me a little better now?”

 

“Why all of a sudden?”

 

“You just complimented me.”

 

Then Uncle looked at me with bewildered eyes.

 

W-Why…

 

Why are you looking at me like that, though.
