The Villainess Wants To Go Home novel Chapter 31

I walked with my hood over my head to hide my identity through the crowds of the busy town of Argentum, the lower district. The place where commoners can afford to buy.

My body was still shaking in fear, my mind was racing and was hugging Homura even tighter.

"*Cough Cough* If you're going to kill me\, stab me instead. This is torture and painful" Homura gasped\, trying to breath but couldn't. Hearing him speak I snapped out of my thoughts and loosened a little. "Sorry" I whispered.

He uttered something under his breath, due to the chattering of the people and the noise I was unable to hear what he said.

My eyes darted around like crazily, glancing at every person that walked past me making me flinch every time they brushed past me.

I steady my breath trying to calm the panic, but the fear became a tangible, living force that crept over me like some hungry beast, immobilizing me. My heart was throbbing in my ears, loud and irregular, but I barely heard it, for my mind was clouded with fear.

'Mother, Mother where are you?' a familiar young girls voice echoed through my mind.

'Mother where did you go? I'm scared'

'Mother I'm scared' the voice ringed in my ears forcing me to listen to her cries.

'Please go away' I begged. 'Please go away'

"Oi Human!" I snapped back to reality, the voices disappearing and to be taken over again by the chatters of the people.

"What's wrong with you?" Homura questioned.

"Nothing" I shook my head lightly.

I took a deep breath and closed my eyes, 'Remember what Daisuke said' I released my breath then to inhale more.

'He will always stay by my side' I couldn't believe I was walking through the crowd without Daisuke to comfort me and without having a panic attack. I was actually doing what I feared the most.

I gazed up to see dozens of more people walking by, happily chatting away. A cold wave embalmed me as the hairs rose on the back of my neck and my mouth ran dry. I quickly looked down "Don't look just keep moving" I whispered to myself.

"Stupid human" he mumbled out loud with the intention of making sure I heard. Rolling my eyes and ignoring him, I continued on walking.

I may have endured the fear of walking through all alone, yet I still have to build up the courage to look up and see myself in the crowd. I was not ready for that big step yet. Walking in was already difficult enough.

I was looking down at Homura who seemed to throw a few disgusted glances at the people that passed by, can't blame the poor animal. He was a fox after all, and people love hunting foxes for sport but that was in my world I don't know about this one.

I shifted my gaze away from the fox and stared down at my feet, admiring the dark, teal-coloured high heeled boots I wore, the show maker made it really comfortable for me to wear.

I couldn't see where I was going but my ears listened and navigated me through. I could hear sellers yelling out their prices of their goods and buyers negotiating with the sellers for a decent price, people were bustling about, kids screaming and crying. It reminded somewhat of back home in Tokyo.

Feeling someone walk towards me, waiting for him to move aside and walk past me he didn't move but continued on walking. I took it upon myself to move aside for this Gentleman which did not bother to move, I stepped to the side both of us brushing shoulders.
