Taming The Villainesses novel Chapter 313

(EP-313.1) Afterstory of the South #3

313 – Afterstory °• N 𝑜 v 𝑒 l i g h t •° of the South Wall #3

In the days since I fell beyond the wall, I had spent a considerable amount of time with Stella, working together on various things and becoming more in sync.

But from Mirna’s perspective, she might wonder, ‘When did these two become so close?’

The thought of having to explain this myself made me quite nervous. I could pretty much guess how Mirna would react. She would definitely get very angry.

“Let’s go inside first. You must have been tired from coming all this way.”

Hwik-.

With that, Mirna turned and briskly walked through Sandora’s gates. _{frёewebnoѵēl.com}

Should I not go inside and just go back over the wall? It was a joke, of course, but I felt a lot of psychological pressure.

However, the moment I passed through the gates, all other thoughts vanished.

The ruined cityscape disoriented my eyes. As I stood there dazed, Marmar, who had Yingying on her head, explained.

“After comrade fell, the wyvern went on a rampage here! It was terrible!”

How much of a rampage had to happen to tear off the roofs of stone buildings?

“Eek...! Wyvern...! Scary...!”

Imp Tartar looked up at the sky with her tail trembling, perhaps remembering what had happened at that time. It was like a meerkat afraid of eagles.

“It was a very imp-phobic winged lizard...!”

Eventually, the heavily injured wyvern was said to have flown far north. Since it had been hit by my high rank magic ‘Star Slayer’, it wouldn’t be strange if it had died somewhere.

━Hey, put up a sign over there.

━Hand me that hammer under there.

Bump, tick, bang, bang.

Hammering noise echoed everywhere. The city, already busy preparing for the tournament, had now suffered an untimely attack by the wyvern. It was understandable.

Could we still proceed with the tournament at this rate? We’d have to wait for the carrier pigeon’s reply from the palace before deciding on our next steps.

While waiting for that reply, we decided to take some time to rest and recover from the journey in Sandora.

Time on a day off often seemed to slip by without notice—just like that, it’d already been two days since we returned to Sandora.

I was a bit shocked. All I’d done was eat, rest, and wash up, yet somehow two full days had passed.

Perhaps it was because life within the walls was so leisurely compared to the battles I had fought beyond the wall? Time seemed to pass much faster.

That must be it.

Currently, Sandora’s park was in front of me.

On the sunny, wide lawn, I watched the imps play with Professor Balan as she stumbled around blindfolded with a cloth over her eyes. She was reaching out aimlessly, trying to catch them.

Clap, clap, clap.

The imps clapped, leading Professor Balan around in circles.

“I’ll... catch you all... you little imps, haha.”

“I, Tartar, am over here...!”

At last, Balan grabbed the arm of an imp with orange hair. The surrounding imps burst into laughter.
