Taming The Villainesses novel Chapter 288

(EP-288.2) Depression #1

288 – Fairy’s Depression #1

However, the famously chic Countess Redney didn’t seem to mind such things and continued with the conversation.

“You must have quite a few stories from your journey here. If you have the time, I’d like to hear them.”

“Hm.”

We exchanged light stories about why we had come to Sandora and what had happened along the way. After listening to all of it, Countess Redney nodded.

“You’ve been through a lot. But there was a reason we had to block the teleportation gate.”

“A reason?”

At my question, Redney calmly explained.

“There was an attempt to cast a teleportation spell from beyond the wall. I don’t know what it is, but anything trying to come into the city from beyond the wall couldn’t be normal.”

Neither I, Stella, nor Mirna responded. Who knew what horrors would unfold if the beings lurking beyond the wall were unleashed into the city.

“That’s not the only concern; there are many issues in Sandora. Monsters are swarming all over the place, the number of soldiers is insufficient, and although we manage to maintain order with adventurers, it’s still not enough.”

Everyone was complaining about a lack of manpower. She was probably asking us, who came from the capital, for additional resources and funding.

We continued to discuss serious matters for a while. All I could offer was the standard response that I’d relay the message to the royal palace.

“Then, would you like to see the construction of the new arena? We are in the process of finishing it. And it should be completed in a few days.”

At Redney’s suggestion, we followed her to the arena located in the center of Sandora. The building, shaped like a colosseum, seemed well-suited to accommodate a large number of spectators.

“We expanded and renovated the existing colosseum. That’s why the construction was able to proceed quickly. Please inform the Spider Queen that the event will be held without issue.”

“Understood.”

And with that, the day’s schedule came to an end.

It was around lunchtime, and I thought I should unpack my things and either explore the city or rest. As I was heading towards the room prepared for me in the castle.

“Ah! You’re here!”

I turned my head to a familiar voice and saw a girl waving at me from the worn hallway.

“Comrade! You’ve finally arrived!”

“It’s Marmar.”

It was nice to see her doing well. _{freewēbnoveℓ.com}

“Marmar, this is a gift for you.”

“A gift─!?”

As Marmar approached me, I pulled out a box of premium honey candies from my inventory and handed it to her. It was one of the two boxes of candy I had received from the elf elders.

“Th, this is...!”

After receiving the box of candies from me, Marmar eagerly began to devour them.

She stuffed as much as she could into her mouth and even filled both hands. She reminded me of my squirrel Keongkeong hoarding nuts in its cheeks.
