Taming The Villainesses novel Chapter 196

(EP-196.1) Break #5

196 – A Short Break #5

Mirna and I wandered around Ark until the late afternoon, to the point that the sun went down.

Mirna, who had been wearing an armband, had been very diligent in her leadership. So much so that my legs were swollen from following her alone...

With how incredibly active the girl had been, she probably digested everything she ate.

Blink, blink.

Large moths were fluttering around the bright magic stone streetlights.

“That’s it for today. Starting tomorrow, Narmi will visit the remaining areas. Sir Theo, thank you for your hard work.”

Mirna finally declared the end of the day’s work and closed the files she had been holding with a loud clap.

One would expect that she’d get a good stretch, but as the Young Lady and acting Head of the Draco Family, she showed no such crass behavior.

I awkwardly scratched my nose and said.

“Well, I just tagged along really.”

I received a request from Mirna today, “Can you help me?” But what I actually did was just follow her around.

Since Mirna handled most of the tasks, I was just there to enjoy and experience things as an NPC with her as a pair.

In fact, it was just like a date. But what surprised me was how diligently Mirna was fulfilling her role.

“I didn’t know that Mirna-nim was working so hard at the student council.”

“Is that so? Well, I guess that’s a natural thing to assume as I don’t show it. But I’m quite focused on my studies and duties, without neglecting anything.”

Mirna puffed out her chest with pride. Although not as voluminous as Elga’s, Mirna still had a decently-sized chest, which looked quite nice.

That was right.

Unlike Aira and Elga—who never attended their lectures in favor of staying in their dormitories, or just wandering around looking for fun— Mirna was diligently adhering to her role as a “student of Ark.”

She was actually a student.

Back in my school days, there was a girl who would take on roles like the class president or vice president and would nag at people. Mirna seemed to be that type.

It would be nice if Aira and Elga also enjoyed their student life at Ark like this. After all, there were enjoyable things that only students could experience.

No, perhaps I should just be satisfied that they were not causing trouble...

“Ahem.”

As I was lost in thoughtful regret and relief, I heard Mirna cough.

It was a hot summer night so it didn’t seem like she coughed because of the cold.

Perhaps she had something to say.

“Being with the most famous person in Ark has made handling things easier. Since you’ve given me your valuable time, I should give you a proper reward.”

“A reward?”

At the mention of a reward, the fairy gourmet cells inside me stirred up excitedly.

“Is it a golden melon!?”

It felt as though I could taste the golden melon that Elga and I shared yesterday again. It was so sweet and refreshing, and I had hoped to taste it again if I did well.

“... Golden melon? You got to eat such a precious thing?”

Mirna raised her eyebrows. Judging by her reaction, it seemed like it wasn’t a golden melon. Too bad...
