Taming The Villainesses novel Chapter 105

(EP-105.2) #1

105 – Backroom #1

Mirna looked like she had a lot to say, but she swallowed it all back. She then took the leather water bottle from my hand and had a few sips.

‘An indirect kiss’ — I stupidly thought. Mirna said as she closed the lid.

“I will be in charge of this. If I leave this to you, it’ll run out quickly!”

And just like that, Mirna took hold of the water bottle.

It seemed that she wanted to manage the remaining supply. Mirna also made me take out the items I had.

“Show me everything you have, commoner!”

“... Yes, my Lady.”

So I pulled out a bunch of stuff from my pocket and piled them on the floor. One, two, three-. Meanwhile, Mirna got increasingly confused.

“Why are there so many candies?”

“Eating them makes me feel better.”

Mirna Draco clicked her tongue, as if she didn’t like my intuitive answer.

“Tsk, fairies are-.”

“And candies have a lot of sugar as well as high calories. We don’t know how long we’ll be stuck in here, so it’s better than nothing.”

There were eight candies in total, so Mirna and I shared four pieces each, which should last us for a bit.

“... That’s true. I didn’t intend to doubt fairies.”

Mirna surprisingly agreed with me just like that. I thought she would keep ranting, but she miraculously admitted it.

Seeing that Mirna had calmed down, I softly asked.

“Is there anyone who can come and rescue us from the outside?”

“... None.”

Mirna affirmed that no one would come to rescue us. After all, the Draco Family was closed in nature and didn’t have much ties with anyone, if there was even any.

But, there was some hope on my side.

If I didn’t show up for a long time, perhaps Elga and Aira might come and find me?

Elga knew that I came to Devil’s Nest today, so if I didn’t attend the Monday morning lecture, she should come looking for me in anger like, “This punk, what are you doing with Mirna!?”

With that said, it should take about two days for Elga to get here...

If longer, maybe even three days...

Nevertheless, all we could do was to hold out till then.

“Did you hear anything outside?”

Amidst the silence and impending drowsiness, I was woken up by Mirna pacing back and forth.

“I heard something! It looks like someone has come to rescue us!”

I listened to Mirna’s fuss, but I couldn’t hear anything with my sensitive fairy ears. Was she hallucinating?

“Please calm down, you’re wasting energy.”

“Energy...”

How much time had passed since we got locked up? Mirna’s condition was getting worse.

It was natural for a person to fall into panic after being trapped in an enclosed place. Yet, in the case of Mirna, she was getting worse much faster. _{ƒreewebɳovel.com}

“Hu-.”

As if she was trying to calm herself down, Mirna drank some water.

Then, as she shook the water bottle, there were only a few sips left of the previously full container.

“There is not much left! We’re running out of water!”

... Wasn’t it because you drank it all? Why were you getting angry?

However, I didn’t want to waste energy on a pointless argument so I digressed.

There were also the three Rules of 3. 3 hours without shelter in a harsh environment, 3 days without water and 3 weeks without food. So, we should be able to survive until Monday’s rescue arrived.
