I SHOULD BE THE VILLAIN, BUT I PREFER TO BE A TYCOON-Chapter 36: The Invisible Parasite: When Your Worst Nightmare Becomes Real
Several things had happened, but... It had been a long time since Riko had had so much fun.
At least until she got home, she had a happy smile on her face.
However, what she didn’t see was that as soon as she got a few meters near her house, something floating above the roof of her house spotted her and shot toward her.
That’s when this ’thing’ latched onto Riko like a leech, and all her happiness started to fade away, and like a bucket of cold water poured over her head, she seemed to return to the reality she lived in at home, and her expression became stoic.
When she entered and said, "I’m back," passing through the hallway after swapping her shoes for slippers, she shuddered under four pairs of eyes.
She felt like she was in a horror movie, not knowing who the villain was or when she would be attacked.
"You’re late. Where were you?" Emerging from a door at the end of the hallway, her father appeared.
Riko’s trembling intensified.
"A-At the karaoke with some friends," she replied with a slightly shaky voice.
"With boys?" Her father’s eyes were almost maddening, the way he widened them and tilted his head scared her so much she almost wet her pants.
She bit her tongue a little, and the pain brought her back.
She lied: "Just with Inoe and three other girls I made friends with."
"Really?" Her father didn’t seem to believe her.
What Riko didn’t see was that the thing that had latched onto her jumped like a tick and attached itself to her father, starting to whisper things.
"She’s lying..."
"Look how nervous she seems, she was with boys..."
"Your daughter is having sex with boys while looking at you like you’re a rapist..."
Even though he didn’t hear the whispers, it was as if the whispers were transmitted and shaped into feelings. Everything that was whispered, somehow, the man imagined.
’Riko’s purity is mine!’
The man’s eyes became even more crazed.
"You trash, go to your room at once to change and start making dinner!"
Sakura’s shout gave Riko an escape.
"Y-Yes!" Stammering, she literally fled to her room.
Meanwhile, the thing that had latched onto the man detached and went to Sakura.
The arms of this thing, with long hair and gray skin, embraced Sakura from behind, closing its arms in front and whispering in her ear.
"Your family is being destroyed by her, why do you still try to protect her?"
"You should be out having fun with your friends, why do you stay trapped in this house with such a heavy atmosphere?"
"You deserve to be happy too..."
49x "You deserve to be happy too..."
Sakura put her hands on her head, and a thought crossed her mind: ’Yes, I deserve to be happy... I should have accepted Sheron’s invitation...’
’No, no, if I leave, who will protect Riko?’ She snapped back to herself.
"Not... not strong enough, not strong enough..."
The creature looked in the direction of the mother, and its mouth opened, a ghastly smile curling: "She... she looks delicious now..."
Opening its mouth unnaturally wide, the creature floated toward Sakura and Riko’s mother.
Something began to emerge from the top of her head in the form of a mist that only the creature could see and ’ate’ as if it were the creature’s favorite candy, its red eyes gleaming with a terrifying smile.
When the creature finished ’eating’ and floated away.
"Yes, yes... I feel it..."
Even if just a little, the creature seemed to grow a bit.
"Riko!! You vile thing!"
Suddenly, Riko’s mother stood up, looking like she had gone mad, and marched toward the room.
"Mom?" Sakura was startled by her sudden scream.
She saw her mother grabbing the broom and had a bad feeling.
Meanwhile, the creature in the air seemed to be chuckling as it floated around them.
The scream scared Riko so much that she instinctively locked the door.
*Bang! Bang! Bang!*
"You disgusting thing, how dare you lock the door of my house! Open it now, open it now, open it now!!!"
*Bang! Bang! Bang!*
*Bang! Bang! Bang!*
"Darling?"
"Shut up!" The woman’s eyes were maddeningly red as she looked at her husband: "You want to fuck this girl’s filthy pussy, don’t you? You want to cheat on me with her, don’t you? I won’t allow it, I won’t allow it!! I’ll rearrange your face right now!"
"Mom, calm down!!"
Sakura tried to hold her back, but she stumbled and hit her head on the corner of a cabinet.
A creepy giggle seemed to echo through the house, but no one heard it.
Even when Sakura fell to the floor with blood running down her head, neither her mother nor her father seemed to care.
"Darling, you’re the only one for me," the man said. "But if you hate her so much, wouldn’t it be better to let me teach her a lesson? I promise I’ll be yours alone."
The woman’s neck twisted, and she looked at him sideways: "What the hell are you talking about? Do you want to die?"
"Think about it, darling... Don’t you hate her? If you let me, I’ll punish her." He grabbed her shoulders.
Her face was plastered with lust while he had an erection.
Riko, who heard all of this from the other side of the door, cried hysterically while trembling from head to toe.
’Why did it turn out like this... Why did it turn out like this... I didn’t ask to be born... Why do they hate me so much...? Why do they hate me so much??’
She was curled up like a ball against the door, shaking and crying so much she started to sob.
’Someone... Someone get me out of here... Someone help me...’
She grabbed her smartphone, but for some reason, it wasn’t working. It was as if it had malfunctioned, and the screen was all distorted, like an old TV with a bad signal.
"It’s okay."
When she heard that, she was in shock.
That was her mother giving her father permission!
"No, no, no, no..."
Her face turned pale with horror.
*BANG! BANG! BANG!*
"Daughter, open this door now! It’ll be quick, you need to open this door, okay? Don’t make me force it open, or things will be worse..."
All Riko could think was how no one had called the police yet. She had some hope, but when the door was pushed forward, moving her a bit as she was leaning against it, her heart stopped beating for a moment.
’Sister...’ Somehow, she thought of her sister.
Deep down, she had hope that her older sister would protect her, even though she hated her. Riko knew that thanks to her, things weren’t worse.
But... It had been a while since she last heard her sister’s voice.
Her worst nightmare had come true. Her sister must have stopped caring and maybe left, leaving her alone with these two in the house.
She looked toward the window.
But there was no way to escape through it; the window had bars.
It hadn’t always been like that, but one day her father said there were thieves breaking into the neighborhood through windows and ordered bars to be put up.
The creature floated toward her.
Embracing her, it whispered: "No... There’s no way to escape... Accept, accept, accept, accept, accept..."
*BANG!*
*CRACK!*
A loud crack echoed, and Riko looked at the door with fear.
She clutched the smartphone in her hand and prayed.
But she didn’t know that at that moment, the creature’s hand was piercing through her smartphone, interfering to keep it from working properly.
*Riiing!*
Suddenly, her smartphone started to ring.
"NO!!!"
The creature screamed as Riko felt a glimmer of hope.
She clicked on the screen, or rather, in the direction where the answer button should be.
"Riko?"
*BANG!*
The door was forced open.
"Helps me!!" she screamed as her smartphone flew out of her hand while the door was violently pushed open the moment it was broken down.
She crawled backward and tried to grab her smartphone.
However, her mother was faster and grabbed it, ending the call, then throwing the smartphone against the concrete wall.
"Darling, help me hold her."
"You little slut, this is what you get for seducing your own father. You wanted this, didn’t you? So, I’ll let you have a taste at least once," her mother said venomously.
"Yes, you want this, don’t you?" Her father began to undress.
Riko stood up on shaky legs and tried to escape.
*Whoosh!*
"Ahhhh!"
*Crack!*
But her mother, with the broom in hand, was faster and, with a swing that cut through the air, hit her right in the waist.
The wooden broom handle snapped in two.
Her mother didn’t hold back at all.
And when Riko fell, she rushed forward and sat on her stomach, facing her, holding her arms to prevent her from escaping or fighting back.
Riko, crying in pain and fear, struggled with her feet and tried to free her hands, but her mother was stronger.
Her father was already almost naked, only in his underwear.
His expression was terrifying, like that of a demon.
"Why are you doing this to me?!" she screamed.
"You’re the one who wanted this, you little slut!"
Her mother held both of her arms with one hand and, with the free one, squeezed her daughter’s chest so hard that she screamed, feeling excruciating pain.
"Stop this!"
With blood running down her head and holding a kitchen knife, Sakura appeared at the door.
"I called the police, you better stop!"
"I knew it, you were on her side, you bitch!" her mother screamed.
In a panic at seeing the knife in her eldest daughter’s hand, the man in his underwear grabbed something from the floor—it was the smartphone that had been thrown against the wall earlier.
He didn’t hesitate to throw it at his daughter.
*POW!*
*Beng*
The smartphone struck her forehead with its edge, and Sakura staggered, dizzy, dropping the knife to the floor and struggling to hold onto the side of the doorframe.
"You..." She only managed to say that before her mind went blank and she fainted.
"Sakura!!"
Riko screamed her name, but her mouth was covered by her mother’s hand.
She struggled between the tears streaming from her eyes, looking at her mother as if she were a monster.
"Darling, do you think she really called the police?" the man in his underwear asked.
"No, it must be a bluff. She wouldn’t dare..." the woman denied and said aggressively: "Now, hurry up, didn’t you want to fuck this little slut? Go on before I change my mind!"
"Y-Yes!" The man’s eyes turned lustful again.
He crouched between Riko’s legs and held them so she couldn’t struggle.
Seeing that she wouldn’t stop fighting, he sat on her legs and, with his hands now free, began to pull down her pants.
Shaking her head, Riko fought with all her strength, but she simply couldn’t break free from these two psychopaths who didn’t even seem to care about the safety of their eldest daughter, who was bleeding in a pool of her own blood from her head.
