Taming The Villainesses novel Chapter 6

(EP-6.2) Flower Aira #6

006 – Evil Flower Aira #6

The man looked tall and thin from a distance. Together with his thick gray beard, it made me think of a broom.

━A plow-wielding Champion?

━It just looked like an ordinary plow. How did that become a Holy Weapon?

━Stop jesting. You wouldn't even be able to count the number of thieves killed by it!

Like what the people were talking about, the sturdy-looking man was carrying a plow, which was used for plowing the fields, on his back.

However, if that man was the chosen one and wielded a Holy Weapon, then even a plow could cut someone in half.

They were that kind of warriors in this world.

But it was not that person.

I let out a sigh, both relieved and regretful that it wasn't the person I was looking for.

Let's not confuse people.

However, just like a storm that could be created by a single flap of a butterfly's wings, I didn't know what type of variables in this world would lead to a blade being pointed at my neck.

So just in case, I was going to remember the keyword ‘Plow Warrior' in my head.

━That's amazing. But, what is a Champion?

━Ah, you ignorant bastard. But I don't know either... Isn't that just someone great?

I thought about the concept of a ‘Champion’ upon hearing this from afar.

As one lived on this land, there were times when the object they had been attached to would suddenly gain magical powers.

In the Order of Flames, they were known as ‘Holy Weapons'. Those who possessed such items were called Champions and were used for all sorts of missions or errands.

The plow man must have become a plow Champion because his plow suddenly turned into a Holy Weapon. Was he a farmer before?

Without hiding anything, the truth was that the person I was looking for also fell into the category of a Champion.

The main character of the novel ‘Villain Hunter', resembled this world, just like a mirror.

Was today’s trip a complete waste?

I obtained no news.

The weapon they used was unique, so rumors of a strange weapon wielder should have spread quickly.

━A Champion who uses a crossbow? I don't know.

━No, there is no such person here!

Even after wasting my precious time and even some money, I had no clues about the person I was looking for.

Did I just waste my time?

They surely existed in this world, right?

I was certain that they were lying low somewhere and sharpening their claws, before appearing as my greatest enemy.

Even with all the means I had, I couldn't find anything about the protagonist of ‘Villain Hunter'.

I even started to wonder if this world was different from the novel and that, maybe, that person didn't exist.

It was not entirely unlikely.

Before the sun went down, I thought I would stop by one last place.

* * *

The place I visited was a tavern in the West Gate slum district. It was quite a distance away from the main street.

The tavern was called「Nymph's Ditch」and although the name was a bit bizarre, it was a huge three-story inn frequented by many customers.

It was like a dumpster for all sorts of things.

Surprisingly, interesting rumors and ear-worthy proverbs gathered in such a place.

Of course, false rumors, gossip and all kinds of slander were bound to get mixed in, so one should always pay attention.

Dalrang, dalrang-

Upon opening the sliding door, along with the ringing of the bell, I could see the faces of people who were already drunk and wasted. It was still early in the evening...

Broken cups and spilled alcohol were scattered on the floor. I even saw a mouse with a piece of cheese in its mouth, scurrying into a hole.

“Keu, reeks of alcohol.”

The sanitary conditions were very poor. Of course, my nerves weren't so sensitive that I cared about every single thing.

After settling in a corner where no one would care about me, I ordered samgyeopsal-like food from a freckled waitress.

Now, I quietly began listening and taking in all of the conversations.

I, the evil Tae-oh, secretly had good hearing. Even in a noisy place like this, I seemed to have a magical power of being able to pick and choose the information I wanted.

━Honey, I didn't wear panties today.

━Let's eat and dip. I'll make you purr~

What about purring? No, although it was very interesting, it was not what I was looking for.

Champion.
