I'll Be Villain to Everyone! Except for my Cat...

Chapter 80: BoysBand

"...Mr. Wick? It looks like your name isn’t on the list." The guard’s brows furrowed, then he exchanged a tense, worried glance with his colleague, jaw tight.

A murmur of admiration rippled through the crowd behind them, as if the audience were greeting someone.

"Oh, really?" Mr. Nobody scratched his cheek awkwardly. "Then I must be listed as..."

"Let him through, he’s with me."

Unexpectedly, someone took his arm.

The guards lowered their heads and stepped aside.

"Please forgive us."

"Yeah, yeah, I’m with her... Who are you, anyway?" he whispered to the girl who had grabbed him.

*Thud...* A heavy heel pressed down on his toe.

’Wow, did she really step on my foot?’ he thought in surprise.

"Thanks, boys," an energetic voice rang out.

"You’re welcome, Miss Liliana. We hope you don’t have anything prohibited on you?" one of the guards asked with a smile.

"And you’re asking because you want to find something... or search me?"

She exchanged some not-so-decent smiles with the guard, and soon they were let inside.

"...Ugh, fuck, what a disgusting asshole."

"Come on, it’s just his job."

"His job is to wanna fuck me?"

"Um... Who knows?"

"...You?!"

She grabbed his arm and dragged him away from prying eyes.

Half a minute later, she pinned Mr. Nobody against the wall, and her heel was once again on his boot.

"What the fuck are you even doing here?!"

"Um... Came to listen to some music?"

"You asshole, are you stalking me?!"

"Listen, young lady. I don’t mean to offend you, but..." He smirked. "Who even are you?"

"Who the fuck do you think you are...!"

Before the girl could get indignant, he pulled his foot out from under her heel.

She lost her balance and started falling onto his chest.

Sliding out from under her, he shifted his position and now pinned her against the wall himself.

"...And how do you know me?" he said, sounding somewhat threatening.

He lightly patted her neck with his metal hand. Surely the girl felt the cold and should have been scared, but...

"...You really don’t remember?" Her face flushing, she looked up at him from below.

"Huh?"

"Well, you said ’paint it red,’ and then..."

"Right, you’re that crazy singer! Did you change your wig?"

"You jerk!" She slapped his chest with her palm. "I just dyed my hair!"

Taking a closer look, he realized it really was that same girl. She had a cute shoulder-length haircut with two ponytails.

Now her hair was dyed blue, and she wore pink contact lenses with glowing heart outlines.

’How unusual and... trendy?’ he thought with a smirk.

She was wearing a blue miniskirt with a layered hem. With almost any movement, the skirt would start to flutter and ride up.

Additionally, she was wearing blue stockings and a sheer top that made her blue underwear easily visible.

This look seemed pretty...

"Hah... Sorry, I..." he turned away, trying to hold back his laughter.

"..."

"Hahahaha!"

"What the fuck are you laughing at?!!!"

Her face red with embarrassment, she grabbed him by the collar and started shaking him.

"Something just came over me!"

As they stood off to the side, another round of enthusiastic shouts came from the exit.

"Answer me, what the fuck are you doing here!"

"I already told you. Just listening to some music."

"Feed that bullshit to someone else! I fucking saw what you pulled two weeks ago... And in case you forgot, you said my music was total shit!"

"Hey, enough, enough, maybe I came to listen to someone else... How did you even recognize me?"

"Oh, w-what’s so strange about that? Y-you just took off the cloak and changed the shirt under your jacket to a white one, so..."

"Ah, my bad." He sighed and pressed his hand to his face. "I’ve completely lost myself in this whole cat nonsense."

He ran his palm over the mask, and his face instantly changed to a new one. Now he looked like one of those typical fans of idols like her.

"W-who...?"

"Liliana?" a man’s voice called out from nearby.

Turning toward the voice, they saw five people. Among them were three men dressed in colorful outfits and two girls dressed even more revealingly than Liliana.

Behind them stood three dark-skinned bodyguards, one of whom seemed incredibly huge.

Mr. Nobody, like any other man from Southville, seemed quite tall compared to the rest of the people in Concord.

For example, at the last tryout, he was at least half a head taller than all his competitors. Liliana barely reached his shoulder, and none of these five people were taller than his chin. However, this bodyguard...

He was twice as broad as him, and his height was approaching two and a half meters.

This one was definitely a man from the Path of Concord.

’Crack a can open with a finger...? No one said the can would be barrel-sized.’

A dangerous gleam lit up in his eyes, and a broad smile involuntarily spread across his face.

"Liliana, so who is this?" The man speaking to them blew on his bangs, causing them to fall to the side. "I didn’t know you had... friends. Won’t you introduce us?"

"U-uh, this is..." Beads of sweat formed on her face. "This is my..."

"...A fan! I’m your fan!" Mr. Nobody shielded her with his back and headed toward the five of them.

"Our... Fan?"

The faces of the five, who had previously looked at him and Liliana with smirks and hidden contempt, shifted to a barely noticeable irritation.

"Yes, yes, yes! Would you believe it? I paid a whopping 20,000 credits just to get a ticket to an exclusive meet-and-greet with Bengou after the show!" He glanced back at Liliana. "Thank you, wonderful stranger, for this wonderful opportunity to meet my idols completely for free!"

The girl just blinked in shock and mumbled something.

As he stared intently at each of the five, his eyes sparkled with stars.

"Sexy Bomb!"

"Uh-huh..." The cheek of the long-haired girl with the impressive cleavage twitched noticeably.

"Mega Muscle!"

"..." The muscular man with dyed black hair clenched his jaw.

"Fire Alarm!"

"Hey there..." The man with a bare chest and bright orange shorts waved his hand dismissively.

"Super Marty!" Mr. Nobody headed toward the man with light hair who had been talking to him the whole time.

"..."

"And of course... Oh, I’m sorry, you look so stunning that your nickname slipped my mind."

"It’s no big deal," replied the girl in a mask covering half her face.

"I’m so happy...! Please don’t take this the wrong way, but would you mind if I shook all of your hands?!" He held out his hand to the man with blond hair, but...

"...Better step back, clown." A deep voice boomed from the massive security guard who had stepped in front of him.

The first girl—Sexy Bomb—immediately wrapped herself around his arm and smiled seductively.

Mr. Nobody found this rather unusual.

"Is that so..."

"Come on, Alfredo. It’s just a handshake." The fair-haired man smiled gently and patted the bodyguard on the side.

He was the first to extend his hand.

"Always happy to meet fans. By the way, I’m very curious—is it true that you and Liliana are just strangers? From the outside, it looked like there was something between you..."

"I’m also happy to meet my idol!!!" Mr. Nobody shook his hand with both of his and leaned in close. "By the way, is it true that you’ve kidnapped, drugged, raped, and thrown out onto the street over a hundred little boys?! A real record-breaker!!!"
