Taming The Villainesses novel Chapter 265

(EP-265.2) Song #2

265 – Cicada’s Song #2

“It’s romantic. Do all adventurers have such charming meals?”

Her question made me think about adventurers. I hadn’t had many interactions with them myself, but recalling the adventurers from the original novel, Villain Hunter, I could answer.

“Probably, their meals are a bit more modest than this. We might be the only adventurers enjoying tea time.”

Mirna chuckled softly at my response.

“Then we must be the first. The first high-ranking noble adventurers to enjoy tea time in a dungeon.”

“... That... might be.”

“Well, perhaps not the first. My father said that he explored countless dungeons like this in his youth.”

Mirna’s expression brightened a little as she said that. She must be happy reminiscing about her father. Then she shivered slightly.

“Are you okay?”

“No, I’m not.”

Mirna glared at me coldly.

Then she said, “I need to adjust my clothes for a moment, so look the other way,” and picked up the handkerchief. I turned my head as Mirna instructed.

Soon, I heard the sound of her unbuckling her belt and removing her clothes, followed by the sound of something being wiped with the handkerchief. Somehow, it all seemed quite suggestive.

“It’s okay now.”

When I turned back, Mirna was stoking the campfire with a casual expression as if nothing had happened. However, there was an awkward tension between us.

“I..., I’m sorry.”

Feeling a bit tingly all over, I apologized to Mirna. She merely snorted, “Hmph.” But then, as if embarrassed, she added in a small voice.

“... Still. You did better this time. You didn’t fall asleep right away...”

Her voice was as small as a whisper from an ant.

If not for my sensitive fairy ears, I wouldn’t have heard her. It seemed she hadn’t intended for me to hear it. _{fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm}

So, I decided to pretend I hadn’t heard anything.

“What did you just say?”

“Hmph, it’s nothing you need to know!”

Mirna looked so cute saying that. I wanted to wrap my arms around her waist and give her a kiss on the cheek, but she might really get angry if I did.

“Anyway, once dawn breaks in the dungeon, we’ll fetch some spring water and leave this place quickly. So you should get some sleep ➤ NоvеⅠight ➤ (Read more on our source) Sir Theo.”

“Alrght.”

Seureuk, seureuk-.

Mirna slid into a cheap sleeping bag used by adventurers. There was something graceful about it, like a butterfly returning to its cocoon.

━Kyuiing.

She used the Cloudling Yingying as a pillow. Mirna already had her eyes closed, though she slowly opened them again and asked.

“So, are you really not going to tell me what your trouble is?”

“It’s my issue to resolve. However, I truly appreciate that you want to help, Lady Mirna.”

Really.

I sincerely expressed my gratitude to her. Who knew better than me how reassuring it was to have an ally?

But Mirna clicked her tongue softly.

“... That’s cheap, Lady Lioness. Hogging your worries all to yourself... You don’t know how to share....”

Mirna’s tiny voice soon turned into steady, even breathing. Despite acting tough, she must have been quite tired from all the unfamiliar experiences.

The pond reflected the high moon.

“Ah-choo!”

As I rubbed my nose after a sudden big sneeze, the butler who handed me a handkerchief asked.
