Taming The Villainesses novel Chapter 64

(EP-64.1) Mansion #4

064 – Haunted Mansion #4

Under the moonlight, the owner of the pair of red eyes suddenly looked at me.

“What!? When were you here!? Good to see you!”

The unexpected shout startled and caused me to accidentally swallow the candy that I was keeping in my mouth.

Gwuaak.

The fact that a candy this big got stuck in my throat was quite painful. Unfortunately, I could only grab my neck and struggle.

“Hey!”

The Young Lady of the Draco Family then approached and hugged me from behind.

“What’s stuck in your throat?”

She proceeded to squeeze my stomach tightly with both arms and lift me up. After repeating it a few times, an egg-like candy popped out of my mouth and rolled on the floor.

“Whew, thanks to you, I survived...”

“Oi! Why are you here? This is the Draco Family villa! Have you come to see me?”

Silver hair and ruby-red eyes. It was definitely Mirna Draco, but her personality was too bright and cheerful.

Meaning, this should be her sister, Narmi Draco.

I asked Narmi.

“What were you doing in the cemetery this late?”

“I’m checking if everyone is properly sleeping! On nights with a full moon like this, there are often people that wake up!”

“... Okay. Are you saying that bodies get up and move on their own?”

“Yes! So I have to dig and see if they’re sleeping. Moving corpses usually have bloody mouths as well as dirty hands and feet.”

“That’s a very good tip.”

“A good tip?”

Narmi tilted her head. There was the sense of déjà vu as if something like this had happened recently. Thus, I decided to answer appropriately.

“It’s like the sweetness of honey. Anyway, nice to meet you.”

“What a funny thing to say! More than that, Theo, I never thought you’d be in our mansion! Did you come to see me? Or my sister?”

“For now... let’s say both.”

I frowned and told Narmi about what happened.

“Something imitated my sister’s voice and knocked on the door?”

“Yes. That really surprised me. What was it?”

“It’s a supernatural being called ‘Hateful Spirit’. It usually doesn’t come into the mansion. But in the past month, the interference of demons has increased.”

“... Okay, so what would happen if I open the door or give an answer?”

“Um, it would make doing things difficult for you? But I don’t know about those Hateful Spirits that are strong enough to bypass the barrier of the mansion.”

In the end, even Narmi didn’t seem to know what would happen if the door was opened...

Narmi added, as she took a shovel and resumed digging.

“These days, there’s been an increase in the number of undead. And I’m busy every night because of the monsters that roam nearby.”

“Are you going around the cemetery every night like this?”

“I have to during these days!”

Narmi told me about how she wandered around the cemetery every day taking care of the demons and undead.

That was a bit surprising to hear.

“Isn’t it scary to walk around the cemetery alone?”

“I am a member of the Draco Family. Why would I be afraid of ✧ NоvеIight ✧ (Original source) a cemetery? It’s my sister that would get scared. She’s sleeping because she is afraid.”

Narmi playfully laughed – fufufu.

“So Lady Mirna is afraid of the cemetery... It’s my first time hearing this.”

“Hehe, this is a secret. My sister is weak against ghosts and scary things!”

‘I see.’
