Transmigrating as an Extra Third-Rate Villain - Chapter 248

Chapter 248: Chapter 248:Snow Day [3]
As the yellow moon shined through the heavy clouds of snow, illuminating the spot where we were lying down, small corrupted snow particles fell on both of us.

Also propping herself up, Ruby leaned against a nearby tree trunk, causing the snow covering it to immediately melt and disappear.

Ignoring the melting snow behind, Ruby glanced at me before questioning.

“Can every snow day be like this one…?”

Staying silent, I imagined the same thing while staring upwards at the almost pitch-black sky, where stars somehow shined through the dark clouds.

What if every day could be like this?

Frolicking around in the snow, enjoying time, and resting under the moon after all of it.

Maybe, someday, I will be able to live that life

Unfortunately… both of us seemed to be very far from that day.

Of course, I had already decided to save this world… and I didn’t plan on going back on my words.

And, Ruby, stemming from a villainous organization… and now being part of the very hero part that defeated that organization, had some things she had to sort out, to say the least.

All in all… times like this couldn’t last and repeat forever for Ruby and me.

That’s why I had to cherish the times when it did happen.

Staring at Ruby, I nodded my head with a grin and replied.

“Why not?”

These small moments… despite lasting for less than a couple of hours, would be held in my heart for years at a minimum.

Thinking back to my time on Earth, a sense of sorrow overwhelmed me.

I had already learned my lesson…

My time on Earth had been limited and short due to my early death at the prime age of sixteen years old.

And, despite living on Earth for those sixteen years of living, I couldn’t recall a single memory that was better than the one I was living through right now.

My mom was right… setting yourself up for a good future is vital at a young age.

Your entire life is essentially determined by what colleges you go to, and that’s controlled by your grades and extracurriculars in high school.

My mom’s personal motto was, “Work hard now, enjoy later!”

Yet, in my case on Earth, I had worked hard without even enjoying its benefits.

My time had been wasted… and that could be seen clearly through my lack of good memories from my time on Earth.

I wouldn’t make the same mistake again in this world.

Instead of going back to my dorm room immediately after class to work my ass off to figure out some plan to rob the principal’s vault, I had come here with Ruby.

And because of that, I created a beautiful memory on a cold winter day… with some snowballs mixed in.

Even if I was found out tomorrow during the robbery… I think I would have still chosen to come here instead of planning for ten hours straight in my dorm room.

Why couldn’t I work hard… and enjoy life at the same time?

To be fair, I was a special case.

I doubted the other academy students had the same privilege as me.

They had to work hard to get recruited and fulfill their dreams of becoming a hero so that they could survive in this chaotic world.

Studying and training was something they had to do every day.

It wasn’t an option for them.

They needed to be noticed and accepted into positions within Knight Orders.

And me?

I could drop out of school right now and be living in the middle of nowhere in some luxurious mansion with everything I could ever want in life.

A glass of wine in my right hand, a small black cat in my left, and a full five-course meat on the table in front of me.

Anything in this world could be mine with the click of a finger.

That is… except fulfillment.

Would I be fulfilled if I simply lazed around for the rest of this life because I had the resources to sustain that lifestyle?

No, I would not.

That’s why I made the choice I did, putting my all into protecting this world.

To be fair to me, I had worked hard in my previous life… so maybe I was deserving of this privilege where I could do anything I wanted to.

Maybe the other students simply hadn’t worked hard in their past life like me!

Ruby, smiling, brushed back her hair, which was no longer jet-black but a mix of white and black as my corrupted snow particles had hit her hair.

The same could be said for my hair… but much worse.

Since all snow, and not just corrupted particles, could hit my hair… it was completely white right now, with barely any signs of my original jet-black hair.

Ready to leave… and depart from this beautiful memory, I tried to stand up, but a voice interrupted me.

“A little longer?”

Staring at Ruby’s open mouth and disappointed expression, I couldn’t bear to walk away.

Nodding my head, I laid back down, feeling the cold snow brush against my jacket, and replied.

“A little longer.”

…

…

…

“AHH, MY EYES!”

Waking up the next morning, I opened my eyes as usual, expecting to see the ceiling of my dorm room.

Instead, the sun’s rays immediately and directly blinded my eyes as soon as I opened them.

“…”

Shrieking back, I covered my eyes with my hands before slowly adjusting to the unknown sunlight above me.

Looking around my surroundings, I quickly realized that I wasn’t in my dorm room… but in the middle of a forest.

Baren trees without any leaves surrounded me, and I was currently lying on a bunch of dirt with crushed grass.

There was no snow anymore… as somehow, the sky was now a clear blue.

As the memories of yesterday flooded into my head, I subconsciously turned to my left, seeing a familiar figure lying down beside me.
