Taming The Villainesses novel Chapter 306

(EP-306.2) Princess #4

306 – Fairy Princess #4

At that moment, I heard the sound of running water. With my fairy instincts, I could tell that there was a large stream nearby with clear water flowing through it.

“I think there is water nearby.”

“Really? I’ve been wanting to wash off all this dog fur smell. Perfect! Lead the way!”

With Stella pushing me forward, I guided her to the stream that flowed nearby.

Through the bushes and between the trees, we came across a clear valley stream running through the dense forest. The sight of it refreshed my head, as if the heat had just lifted a little.

Swish, swish.

While I was taking it all in, Stella had already kicked off her long boots and jumped into the water with her bare feet.

Splash!

“Ah, it’s cold!”

She waded deeper into the water, submerging herself up to her neck. It seemed like the water was deep.

And then it happened.

Whoosh.

I suddenly felt something wrapping around my ankle.

“Huh!”

Without warning, I was pulled in by a strong force and plunged into the stream.

“Gah! Heup—hieek!”

I couldn’t feel the bottom! Was it deeper than I thought?

As I flailed around and swallowed a lot of water, someone grabbed me by the side and lifted me up. Thanks to that, I managed to regain my balance.

“It’s not that deep. You can touch the bottom.”

“.......”

“Theo-kun, it’s just like when you fell into the river last time. Are you scared of water? That’s unusual for a half-fairy. Nymphs usually love water.”

“I’m half-fairy but also half-human. And there are plenty of humans who can’t swim.”

Puuu-.

I spat out the water. Now that I looked around, the water wasn’t as deep as I initially thought.

It only came up to my chest and neck. However, with the smooth stones beneath my feet, one wrong step could easily make me slip and fall in again.

Since I couldn’t swim, I had no choice but to focus all my strength on my legs as I slowly tried to get out of the water.

But then, someone pulled me back from behind.

“Not so fast.”

Of course, it was Stella.

Did she want to play in the water with me?

“You should wash up too, Theo-kun. You smell like a pack of wolves.”

“Um.”

That was true. I reeked of sweat from not having washed for days, along with the smell of wild animals from staying with the wolves.

Even though she hadn’t said anything, Stella must have been enduring the stench all this time.

In the end, I decided to wash myself in the running water. It was more like doing laundry than bathing....

Swoosh, swoosh.

As I was pouring water over myself, Stella splashed some on my face. Splashing water while bathing—was she a child?

“Nymph Hydro Pump!”

Puuuu-.

“Eek! Theo-kun, you dare spit water in my face!?”
