Taming The Villainesses novel Chapter 176

(EP-176.1) Sand #1

176 – Wind and Sand #1

Elga and I continued our lives as usual.

Waking up early, circling the Ark grounds, and lightly stretching had become our normal routine now.

Thanks to Elga’s guidance in the past few days, my stamina had noticeably improved. # Nоvеlight # I no longer struggled while running around the campus.

“You are doing well. See, it’s not that hard.”

Elga finally praised me after a long time. Words of affirmation could make people happy. So, even with Elga’s seemingly casual remark, I felt really good.

As I wiped the sweat from my face and neck with a towel, Elga put her hand on my head.

“Hm, what’s wrong?”

“Well, it might be because I’m in a good mood. But did you grow taller?”

“Taller?”

I got taller?

I doubted it. But according to Elga, I seemed to have grown by about 1-2 cm. Being the one with the keen senses, her observation was highly likely to be accurate.

Was my body still growing? There was a good chance it was. Well, at least now, I wouldn’t be surprised if this Half-Fairy body underwent any changes.

“Elga-nim, how are you? Are you feeling well?”

“Well, it’s just the same...”

Indeed, Elga’s body seemed just like usual.

But thinking that my child was in her lower abdomen behind the thin tracksuit fabric, I suddenly had the urge to hug Elga’s waist.

━Wah, I’m little Theo, mama give~.

━What are you doing you, crazy bastard!

... However, acting on such impulses would just be asking for Elga’s wrath. So, I decided to keep the enthusiasm to myself.

“.......”

“.......”

Elga and I silently stretched, loosening our bodies. Since the examination, occasional gaps in our conversations like this began to appear.

However, it wasn’t uncomfortable at all. Instead, there was a serene feeling of stability, as if we were sailing one ship together amidst the silence.

At least I thought so.

It might be a little childish, but it was like when kids took the same side against an imaginary monster. The thought that ‘Elga is now on my side’ crossed my mind.

It felt like we had truly become a family.

“Well, I have a lot to do today, so I’ll be going. See you later.”

Seukseuk.

Elga waved goodbye and swiftly disappeared into the distance. I continued to gaze at her back until she vanished around the corner.

Her parting words sounded quite warm.

As Elga mentioned, my height had indeed grown by 2cm.
