Taming The Villainesses novel Chapter 280

(EP-280.1) Fairy and Summer Trip #4

280 – The Clumsy Fairy and the Summer Trip #4

Whether it was the hippogriff running so hard, or because the summer days were long, we managed to reach the village of Bilshukrim before sunset.

As the name suggested, it was known for its cream puffs. In fact, it was more like a small city rather than a mere village, boasting a wide and impressive area.

━Are they travelers?

━They look like adventurers. Judging by the nice carriage, they seem well-off.

The passersby didn’t hide their curiosity toward us. This village certainly had a carefree atmosphere.

We parked the carriage at a luxury inn and rented two rooms.

One for me, and one for Mirna and Stella.

After unpacking and changing into lighter clothes, I headed down to the tavern where a nymph with orange hair was singing.

━Ditch, ditch, ditch water~ Tiny puddles. Ooh...! Coins tossed into the tip jar are always greatly appreciated...!

Nymph songs were always so peculiar...

The sight of the orange hair reminded me of Marmar, giving me a slight sense of familiarity. Just then, Mirna and Stella, now dressed in comfortable clothes, called out to me from behind.

“Sir Theo, let’s sit down and eat.”

We sat at a large table and filled our stomachs with a crispy roasted bird, few boiled eggs, and some drinks and liquor.

━What did you say, you punk?

━I said, you’re useless! Because of you, we got caught in that trap!

Hullabaloo.

The inn gradually became noisier as it filled with adventurers. As I frowned slightly at the commotion, Stella explained.

“There’s a dungeon nearby. It’s fairly high-level, and Bilshukrim is famous not only for its pastries but also as a hub for the dungeon. That’s why there are so many adventurers here.”

Suksuk-. Wiping beer foam from her lips, Mirna said.

“Lady Bellhawk is more knowledgeable than I thought.”

“Well, I wasn’t just pretending to be a professor. And before teaching, I traveled all over the world, including Angmar, back when I was still a student.”

“In times like these, I envy your leisure and longevity.”

“... Is that so?”

Stella responded casually, not making a big deal of it.

As a brief moment of silence or perhaps a sense of calm enveloped us, I thought it might be a good time to say something, so I spoke up.

“Is the post-war ✧ NоvеIight ✧ (Original source) settlement of the Bellhawk family going well? I understand it’s not something that can be resolved in a day or two.”

“Well, there are a lot of problems. It’s been such a big upheaval. But everyone knows which side they need to align with to survive.”

Stella seemed quite composed.

Composed.

There was no better way to describe the current Stella than this. Her state clearly changed before and after the Opal Bellhawk incident.

If before, she had dressed in a way that made her seem slightly older, now she had styled herself so lightly that she could easily pass for someone in their early twenties. _{freēwēbηovel.c૦m}
