Transmigrating as an Extra Third-Rate Villain

Chapter 121: Chapter 121:The Good Life [3]

Finally, getting off the bed, I put on a pair of neatly folded clothes and sat on the desk with my food.

Feeling cold from the breeze, I manifested a black hoodie with corruption before allowing my cat to slip into the hoodie.

As the cat fell into my hoodie and curled up to sleep, the thoughts came to my mind.

...Would he get along with the animals I made with corruption?

How would he react if I just manifested a corrupted cat and put it in my hoodie with him...?

Sighing, I turned my head and walked to the room door, glancing one last time at the cherry blossoms through the window.

One moment, I was in a life-defining battle where the fate of the world was on the line, and the next moment, I was thinking about my cat and cherry blossom trees.

"...the duality of mankind, huh?"

Opening the door, revealing a gigantic hallway with royal banners and gold decorations hung on the wall, I stepped onto the red carpet ahead.

The hallway's width was double the size of my dorm room, and the openness of the gigantic hallway that stretched around the palace made it seem like a maze.

"...how long would the walk to the kitchen be? Where are the directions and street signs!?"

...It would be easier to get lost in this massive hall than actually find your destination.

Admiring the banners streaking across the elegant white walls, I noticed that they were actually covering massive windows.

Manifesting a crow with corruption, I took full control of its body while my body fell lifelessly to the ground.

Flying upwards until I reached the roof, I spotted the top of the banner and flew over before unstringing it.

As the banner rose up to the roof, revealing the gigantic window behind, I returned to my body and dusted myself off.

My enhanced eyesight still carried over when I transferred to my corrupted figures... but did my abilities like time manipulation?

Looking out at the huge glass window, I was about to open it and escape the palace through it when a sudden noise interrupted me.

*BAM*

As the door of the room next to mine slammed open, Albert, with his hair all scrunched up from sleeping and in pajamas, walked out.

"WHAT IS ALL THAT NOISE."

However, as Albert looked at me, the source of the noise, he immediately covered his eyes and shrieked back.

"MY EYES, MY EYES! TOO BRIGHT. MY EYES!"

...this banner was probably here for a reason, wasn't it...?

Scratching my head awkwardly, I waited until Albert finally removed his hands from his face, adjusted to the light, and stared at me.

Silently staring at me next to the window, Albert rubbed his eyes over... and over again until his eyes turned red.

"W-WHAT A-ARE YOU DOING HERE!?"

"..."

"I-I KICKED YOU OUT ALREADY, HOW DID Y-"

*BAM*

Interrupting Albert's sentence, another door across from mine slammed open, revealing the groggy figure of Liam, who gave Albert the death stare.

"Albert... I swear to god IF YOU DON'T SHUT THE HELL UP."

*BANG*

Zach, who was to the right of Albert's room, also opened his door with a slightly less happy expression than usual.

"Hey guys... what all this noise for? Can we please be civil and solve whatever dispute this is later? Our teammates are trying to sleep."

*BANG*

*BANG*

*BANG*

*BANG*

*BANG*

As the sound of countless doors slamming open echoed through the massive hall, I turned to face a window with a slightly irritated expression.

She just HAD TO PUT ALL OF OUR ROOMS NEXT TO EACH OTHER, DIDN'T SHE?

As my fellow classmates and Albert's confused yells sounded, I was about to use the opportunity to escape through this window... when, yet again, another voice interrupted me.

This time... it was slightly older.

"What's all the noise for?"

Ignoring the commotion going on in the hall, Liana walked up to the window next to me.

"Oh... I don't know. Someone thought that putting a bunch of high schoolers right next to each other was a good idea."

After saving Liana and her fellow Elves, I felt that I had the right use sarcasm in the presence of the queen, but it was still a bit nerve-wracking joking around with someone who could kill me in less than a second.

Well... not anymore.

It would be at least 2 seconds now!

Feeling the golden apple in my cloak pocket, I anxiously waited for the queen's reaction, but thankfully, instead of reaching for a weapon, she simply chuckled.

As Liana stepped towards the crowd to quell the commotion, I reached for the lever of the window to open it.

"Not so fast."

*CRASH*

Instantly, the banner reappeared in front of me, blocking the window, and this time with electric sparks cackling on its every side.

"...why?"

Shaking her head, Liana replied.

" *sigh* Skipping lunch and leaving already? I'm going to have to teach you some manners in preparation..."

"Preparation for what?"

Dismissing my question, Liana simply pointed in the opposite direction and replied.

"The table is over there; you can go check it out while I bring everyone."

...shouldn't she have servants or something to deal with them?

"Is calming down high-school students a part of the Queen's daily duties..?"

"I'm a mother alongside a queen, you know? *tsk* Your mother really didn't teach you anything, did she?"

"...she taught me a lot."

"Maybe you should have listened then."

If only I had heard those words a bit earlier...

As Liana headed to the main cast and Albert, who were currently in a heated discussion about who woke everyone up, I followed Liana's directions to the banquet room.

In my elven attire and sweatshirt, I admired the beautiful diamond chandeliers hanging from the ceiling and the intricate designs on each wall, which perfectly complimented the room's mood.

Sitting at the side of the table, I picked up a glass of water and tried to distract myself by counting how many diamonds were in each chandelier.
