I Became A Squirrel Seeking For The Villain

Becoming a squirrel who saves villains Episode 4

Yohan woke up suddenly, his face looking like he was about to faint. “What…what’s going on…” He quickly wrapped me in a blanket. “Ow!”

It was only then that I realized the situation and burrowed deep into the crispy blanket. Of course, I wasn’t wearing any clothes.

As I roughly examined my body within the blanket, I realized that I seemed to be a teenage girl of Yohan’s age.

My hair, which fell down to my shoulders, was a very light brown color.

“You, you…”

Yohan still seemed to be in a panic.

Once he had hidden me in the blanket, his brain seemed to have stopped working. Anyway, it was a very polite gesture.

After a while, he poked his head out of the blanket.

Yohan’s face was pale and pressed against the wall.

I couldn’t help but silently curse him, “I won’t eat you, you know…”

Anyway, our eyes finally met.

I looked up at him while hugging the blanket tightly.

Becoming human, even if only for a short while, was a truly happy thing, but it was also quite sudden for me.

I had never imagined being in this situation before.

We weren’t even close enough to know what to say to each other…

“Um…well, for now…”

I cleared my throat and a proper voice came out instead of a “kweeung” sound.

It was a slightly pleasant and lively voice of a girl.

“Um, nice to meet you?”

“You, you, you…”

John blinked at me as if he had just seen a ghost. His ears and neck were still red, as if they were still burning.

It seemed that he didn’t know that supernatural beings could become human.

I tried to explain the situation, stumbling over my words cautiously.

“Well, supernatural beings can become human…”

But I couldn’t finish my sentence. “Squeak.”

I turned back into a squirrel.

Furthermore, John’s magic that was resonating inside me disappeared completely. I felt a sudden emptiness throughout my body.

It seemed that he had completely used up all his magic that he had collected over the past two days.

I recalled what Tezen had said earlier.

“But if you become human before the 50 days are up, all the magic absorbed during that time will be nullified. So, even if you think you can become human, you have to endure it. Got it?”

It seemed that everything Tezen had read in the book was true.

Still, it was a satisfactory result, even though it was surprising.

“Wow, amazing. You absorbed enough magic in just two days to undergo instantaneous human transformation.”

If I didn’t know much about human transformation before, it was something I had to experience at least once.

Even though I was back to square one, I felt that I could accumulate magic well from now on.

I already knew the solution to the lightheaded feeling I had earlier: to actively accept more magic.

“I just have to go through 50 days in a row. Dreams do come true. We must live with a goal in mind.”

I clucked with satisfaction and made up my mind once again.

It was when I looked at John with a sparkling gaze to calm his magic.

“Wait, becoming human is… possible? What does that mean…?”

John still had an expression that seemed broken somewhere.

Well, I had only been able to say that one word during that short time, so it was still confusing.

“As expected, he doesn’t know much about supernatural beings.”

“I put my hands on my waist and let out a sigh. It was frustrating that I couldn’t communicate, so I had to gesture and make motions one by one.

In the end, I decided to work hard again and gesture and make motions.

I should have known that I would be like this, and should have said something earlier instead of being so surprised and wasting time. It was disappointing, but there was no choice now.

After deciding to use body language, I first patted my chest.

“You?”

Okay. I nodded my head and ran across the room, pointing to a book.

“A book?”

Okay, next I pointed to the Highland phrase engraved on my chest.

“Highland?”

No, no.

I shook my head vigorously and Johannes asked after a moment of thought.

“Taejin?”

Good. And I pretended to flip through a bookshelf with my front paws.

“Study?”

After looking at me for a while, Johannes finally made a sentence.

“Taejin will bring you a book about yourself, so study it.”

That’s right. He’s really smart.

I ran over to his shoulder and stroked his beautiful black hair.

Kind, smart, and pure. He’s still an innocent villain before turning dark, so I really like him.

Even his manners, such as quickly covering me with a blanket, made me like him more compared to Taejin.

‘Wow, but his magical power is really great. He gathered enough power to transform into a human in just two days.’

It was a happy event for me, but on the other hand, it made me feel sorry for Johannes.

How painful it must have been while overflowing with so much magical power.

This pure and kind boy who suffers from loneliness so much…

It was even sad to think that he would become a villain obsessed with a woman and make things difficult for the main character later on.

Fortunately, I met him when he was still innocent.

‘If I can alleviate his pain a little, it will be easier for the main character and heroine to fall in love.’

If there weren’t any villains with terrible personalities, everyone would be happy.

‘Yes, I can revive even the love and attention appropriate for adolescence in a villain.’

So, calming down Johann was a good thing for everyone.

I put my front paw on his forehead and started absorbing magic again.

Johann had grown up as a boy who was far from kind due to long-lasting pain and loneliness. He was more like a strategic boy who was obsessed with using anything to get out of this situation. But no matter how much he was like that, he was still a naive sixteen-year-old boy with no immunity in that area, who had never met a girl of his age before.

So, after the squirrel god left, Johann lay in bed, blinking his eyes absentmindedly. Thanks to the squirrel god, who calmed down his magic more than ever, he felt more comfortable than ever, but he couldn’t sleep. “Cuooong.”

As promised, the squirrel god tore up a few pages of a book in Tegen’s room and brought them. I felt strange thinking about the squirrel’s effort to climb to the top while holding the torn book pages. Moreover…

Before looking at it properly, I quickly covered myself with a blanket, but every time the image of the girl I saw flashed in my mind, my face burned. I tried to act pitiful, kind, and lonely to gain sympathy because it seemed like she understood what I was saying, but today, I couldn’t even speak properly.

In fact, I thought the squirrel was cute too. The squirrel’s front paw, which was seriously offered to his forehead, was his salvation, but it was a little cute.

When he tried to communicate by swinging his short arms while having a small and insignificant body, he even wanted to hug it. Even though he had a small body, his personality was very bold and wild, to the point where he laughed even more… In the meantime, the humanized appearance was too cute. Light brown hair, round pink eyes, and a gloomy expression on the face peeking out of the blanket. When will the humanization happen?… Can I see it again?

In the end, he got up from bed and started reading the torn book pages that the squirrel god had brought. He tried to read it tomorrow because it was too late at night, but he felt that he could not sleep like this. And as he read, his ears began to turn redder and redder.

If you can do humanization in two days, according to this book…

“Meaning, in just 50 days, he will really… become a human, right?”

After finishing the book, he bit his nails for a moment.

“Then it means I need this squirrel’s help for humanization too.”

So, it was a symbiotic relationship…
