Taming The Villainesses novel Chapter 228

(EP-228.2) #8

228 – Discovery #8

Since we ran into each other, we decided to have dinner together.

The two of us entered the fancy student cafeteria nearby, ordered our meals, and started eating. As we were finishing up, Mirna asked while elegantly wiping her lips with a napkin.

“Lady Lioness, why don’t you eat any garlic?”

“Whether I eat garlic or not is none of your business.”

“... Is it perhaps that you can’t eat it?”

“Hmph!”

Elga seemed annoyed.

While it might appear that she was angry because Mirna kept insisting on her eating garlic, having spent quite some time with her, I knew better.

Elga was upset because her plan had fallen through. She was frustrated about failing to go to the Guide’s house.

I didn’t know why Elga wanted to meet him, but I definitely didn’t want her to have any further contact with that man.

Moreover, Elga was pregnant. If she moved around recklessly and encountered any danger, it could lead to uncontrollable consequences.

“Sir Theo, I must say, that’s a nice hat you’re wearing.”

“Ah.”

Mirna suddenly said, so I set aside my thoughts for now.

“But don’t you think it’s better to take it off indoors? Now that night has fallen, there’s no need to wear a hat to block the sun.”

“I’m just wearing it for the style.”

“Style?”

Mirna laughed at my response, as if she had heard something amusing.

“So Sir Theo also has a childish side? Style, you say? But style needs the right time and place to shine. Indoors, you should take off your hat.”

“... I’ll keep it in mind.”

I nodded, but I had no intention of removing my hat.

Mirna gave me a strange look, then let out a long, thoughtful hum. She probably thought to herself that “Theo Gospel has no fashion sense,” and deducted points for that.

... Wait, was this for real?

Well, whatever.

I had work to do once this dinner was over. So, when was this meal going to end?

Clink, clink.

As I was slicing my meat, feeling a bit impatient—.

“Hey, Theo.”

Elga, who had been keeping quiet, finally spoke to me.

“What is it?”

“Have you ever been to the Witch Forest?’

The Witch Forest.
