Taming The Villainesses novel Chapter 31

(EP-31.1) Academy Spring Season #6

031 – Heart-Opening Academy Spring Season #6

Aira was hiding a deadly truth...

That one single sentence shocked me to the core.

What the hell was Aira hiding?

Never before had I felt that Aira was keeping a secret or deceiving me. On the contrary, I had hidden a lot from her...

Could the Status Window be lying to me?

No, that was not possible.

The Status Window wouldn’t lie. It just simply ‘state the facts’. It was a System designed to be like ~Nоvеl𝕚ght~ that.

This was pretty much an unchanging truth.

After all, the same thing happened in the original novel.

“Uh-hmm.”

Suddenly, Aira tossed and turned while making a strange noise.

I was terrified! She might have caught me looking at her stats!

“.......”

But, as if it was a lie, Aira once again returned to her deep slumber.

Seeing this, I finally breathed a sigh of relief. For now, I decided to focus on what I could figure out first.

First of all, this was what bothered me the second most.

「Talent 《Tarantera》: In the Age of aloof Gods and Fairies, a Saintess calmed the wrath of the great spider, and in return was bestowed with a blessing.

Her senses became as sharp as a spider and her ability to see through lies and deceits greatly improved. She also gained an exceptional talent for architecture, art, management and finances.」

This was definitely a great talent.

And it could greatly improve the ability to see through lies and deceits?

Perhaps, it was because of this talent that Aira despised and kept away from the hypocrites inside the Court?

But then, didn’t that also mean that the lies I’d been telling her were exposed?

Maybe my job ‘Actor’ somehow kept them hidden from Aira?

Anyway...

As expected, Aira was incredible.

No wonder why the Villain Hunter Party in the novel couldn’t defeat Aira directly.

It was only when the vicious wave of the masses swelled up that Aira was defeated.

I imagined a lasso around that white porcelain neck.

Then, in the midst of everyone’s angry murmuring, Aira had to wear a sarcastic nameplate around her neck that read ‘The Great Queen of Angmar’....

━Sinner, Aira. Death penalty-!

Finally, she was made to stand on a chair, before struggling like a stringed doll being manipulated by the puppeteer...

“.......”

I didn’t want to witness such a sight.

So, I would not allow that to happen.

After coming out of Aira’s room, I could feel cold sweat running down my body.

It was chilling... My heart couldn’t stop beating wildly.... I felt like a butterfly escaping from the spider’s web.

Perhaps, I had learned something I shouldn’t have...

And even though I didn’t really find out much, that was how I felt right now.

“Huuu-.”

I took a deep breath and calmed myself down.

Seuseuseutsseu-.

Then, as if nothing happened, peace was restored within me.

If it wasn’t for my talent《Calm Thinking》, I might have already died when I was still a slave.

So, what should I do now?

I thought about my next course of action.

Tonight was the first evening in Gracia.

After unpacking and completing the formalities, I had nothing to do.
