Taming The Villainesses novel Chapter 162

(EP-162.1) Night #3

162 – Day and Night #3

Adolescents really enjoyed decorating themselves. They were at an age where they wanted to express themselves.

Having had many younger sisters myself, I understood that feeling well.

In particular, those wanting to express themselves externally like Narmi may be interested in trying on earrings.

However, taking care of your appearance would take effort. Sometimes you had to put in blood, sweat and tears, like piercing your ears.

“I can’t do it.”

Narmi hesitated as she put the painless needle tool she had received from Dojinoi to her ear.

It was not an easy thing to do without a lot of determination.

Eventually, Narmi turned to me and asked for help.

“Theo, could you do it for me? I can’t do it by myself.”

“It won’t hurt.”

“No, it’s not that it hurts, per se... It’s hard to explain. Anyway, it’s just like that!”

Narmi’s explanation was vague. Unlike her meticulous sister, Mirna, she was more relaxed and straightforward.

I felt like I could somewhat understand Narmi’s sentiment. Once she got pierced, there was no turning back. She must be really deliberating on whether it was worth hurting herself for this.

To help her with this dilemma, I gave her some words of advice.

“It’s not too late to reconsider. Why don’t you think about getting earrings a little more?”

“Hmm.”

“Once you get your ears pierced and put on the earrings, you have to keep wearing them for at least a month.”

“What? For a month? What do you mean?”

Narmi seemed completely unaware. I didn’t know all the details either, but I recalled the times when my younger sisters made a fuss after getting their ears pierced.

“Because the earlobe might heal the hole back shut. That’s why you need to give it time to adjust. Of course, you shouldn’t remove the earrings or change them during that time.”

I remembered that at one time, one of my sisters didn’t like the design of her earrings and changed them, which caused the hole to get inflamed.

Narmi said.

“I see... I didn’t know. But if I wear them for a month, I’ll get caught right away.”

“That’s right. So this is your last chance to really think it over.”

“Hmm....”

Narmi seemed to be having a lot of trouble deciding. She mumbled a few more words, perhaps trying to convince me or justify her actions to herself.

“There were many times when my sister didn’t follow the rules and used our body as she wanted. She even cut our hair. I was the only one enduring. Then, if she doesn’t care, why should I?”

Narmi’s dissatisfaction with Mirna seemed to have built up. Well, I couldn’t really intervene in this matter.

“Alright, I’ve made up my mind. I’ll do it.”

Was it due to the pent-up resentment Narmi had towards Mirna? She declared her defiance of the rules like a juvenile delinquent going against her family.

Seuk.

And so, I ended up piercing Narmi’s earlobes.

“Theo, make sure it doesn’t hurt. I’m worried that if I do it myself, I might mess up and get them crooked!”

“Let’s start by marking the positions. We also need to disinfect the earrings.”

First, I purchased alcohol from a nearby shop and then sterilized the earrings by soaking them with it. This should kill the bacteria.

After that, I took out a pen from my pocket and drew a symmetrical black dot on each # Nоvеlight # of Narmi’s earlobes. Seeing this, she asked with curious eyes.

“Why ink?”

“This way, it’ll be leveled. Plus, if we rush it, it might pierce the wrong way. Even if it hurts a bit, you’ll need to bear with it and take your time.”

“... It will hurt?”
