Taming The Villainesses novel Chapter 186

(EP-186.2) Own place #2

186 – Each in their own place #2

I couldn’t decide on the recent job advancement opportunity. It was challenging to choose between the safe and beneficial 《Archmage》, or the potential highly rewarding but risky 《Demon King》.

Part of the reason for my meeting with Elga and Mirna during the day was to solidify my decision.

I had a feeling that no matter which I chose, there was bound to be regrets. I’d probably be saying, ‘If only I had known, I might have chosen differently!’

「You have calmly judged the situation!

You have gained experience points through the talent 《Calm Thinking》.

All job experience +5」

It was a calmly unfortunate situation.

Whichever path I took, either was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity with many changes ahead. I wished I had more time to contemplate, but the time for a decision was rapidly approaching.

Alas, time was not on my side.

As my heart was gradually sinking into a corner, I suddenly rose from my seat, as if possessed by something.

I wanted to confront what I had to overcome head-on.

“Theo, you came at the right time. I was about to call for your assistance.”

In her luxurious and tidy room, Aira greeted me on a chair. Two colorful outfits were laid out in front of her on the table.

“Which one do you think suits better? I’m contemplating what to wear in the upcoming trial, to shine as the Queen of Queens.”

Aira seemed immersed in her own dilemma.

She appeared torn between a black and a white dress. Then she lifted the black garment.

“I think I should go with the usual dark tone, nymph black. I’m certain that wench Serazade will come in black too. Black is an auspicious color in Tureuki.”

“Yes, Empress Serazade will undoubtedly wear black.”

“It might be nice to mingle with the same color scheme, but I don’t think it would be bad to draw overwhelming attention with an entirely different color.”

Aira picked up the hanger with the white outfit. It was a splendid pure white attire adorned with golden embellishments.

It looked like a bridal dress and seemed to suit Aira exceptionally well. In the first place, it was hard to find clothes that didn’t complement Aira’s slender, model-like figure.

“Theo, what do you think of this nymph white color? I really want to hear the opinion of my loyal, faithful servant. This is a privilege granted to no one else in the world, so think carefully.”

“Um-.”

Black or white...

Both had their own charm. Choosing either would inevitably feel like wasting the opportunity cost of not choosing the other.

“I... I think this one....”

I chose black. Imagining Aira in white clothes didn’t quite fit, so I opted for the more familiar black color that she had always worn.

“I see. Do you think it’s better to wear black?”

“It’s a color that suits Aira-nim well.”
