Taming The Villainesses novel Chapter 101

(EP-101.2) Eyes #2

101 – Piercing Eyes #2

That evening after I finished reporting to Aira, I couldn’t sit still in my dorm and took a stroll in the park.

I had a lot to organize and think about, so I decided to get some evening breeze...

━Wiiieng.

But the mosquitoes were really annoying! Was there some spell that could ward off these buggers? The Demon King would probably have one.

“Ya, where are you going?”

Then someone sitting on a bench suddenly asked. It was Elga wearing a tracksuit.

“Elga-nim.”

“Where are you going at this late hour? Gathering that harem of yours?”

“.......”

Clearly, Elga was mad about my mention of having multiple wives the last time. But I just asked Elga as if nothing was wrong.

“So what brings Elga-nim this late in the park?”

“I was waiting for you to come out. So, what did you talk about with that Mirna earlier? She followed immediately as soon as you left. Did you two scheme something together?”

Elga acted like a strict lover trying to crack down on her boyfriend. She didn’t seem to like me talking to Mirna.

“We didn’t talk much. She just said that she’d let me enter a place called Devil’s Nest.”

Elga was surprised when she ❖ Nоvеl𝚒ght ❖ (Exclusive on Nоvеl𝚒ght) heard this.

“Devil’s Nest!? That demon hole!? She said she’d let you in there!?”

“Do you know what it is?”

“I heard it’s a training ground for the Draco Family. It’s a very confidential place... That Mirna is really allowing you there? How uncharacteristic...”

Looking at Elga’s reaction, it was clear that Mirna was being incredibly generous with the offer. Fortunately, I didn’t say no. With that in mind, I sat next to Elga.

“.......”

“.......”

Neither of us said anything.

The atmosphere was quite awkward.

―Buung, bung-.

Big Tinkerbell-like moths were madly flying around the lamppost. The silence and boredom reminded me of my past guard days, so I broke the ice first.

“The things I said, Elga-nim should keep it a secret.”

“Heung.”

“You’re also giving me a Noble Rank to help me, aren’t you? To help revive my family.”

“.......”

Elga turned her head away with a dissatisfied expression. For a moment, I thought she would cut me off. But, to my surprise, she reluctantly muttered.

“Be stronger than me.”

“......?”

“Be stronger than me, and rise higher than anyone else. Become a man so great that I wouldn’t be able to handle you alone.”
