Taming The Villainesses novel Chapter 74

(EP-74.1) Aftermath #3

074 – Clean Up and Aftermath #3

The next day, Wednesday morning.

When I arrived at the classroom, I saw Marmar putting up something at the entrance.

「Today’s 9 o’clock ‘Understanding Ancient Dead Language’ lecture is cancelled as the Professor is currently unavailable.」

“Cancelled?”

“Ah...! Comrade...! Nice to see you...! And this, the Dead Language lecture is on hiatus...!”

“Yes?”

I was a little perplexed by the change in Marmar’s tonality. There was a big gap when she spoke normally and in that weird Nymph tone.

“Is your tone back to normal?”

“Professor Belhawk said she would reduce my pay if I don’t speak normally....”

I guessed money really was the best motivator.

“Then, forget that strange way of speaking!”

Marmar floundered, seemingly in shame.

‘I understand...’

... Because I also felt very ashamed when I pretended to be a Nymph to participate in the Nymph gathering.

Perhaps to hide her embarrassment, Marmar promptly changed the topic of the conversation.

“Anyway, it looks like Professor Balan, who is in charge of the lecture, has collapsed!”

“I see.”

As a result of yesterday’s incident, Professor Balaan was nowhere near a position to hold any lecture at all.

Moreover, the students who were controlled by Professor Balan— Gamigin were also receiving intensive treatment because their recent memories were wiped away, leaving them very confused.

“There is no proper lecture.”

It’d been two weeks since classes started in Ark, but I hadn’t really learned anything useful from the lectures nor the Professors.

Seureureuk.

At this time, the Imp Tail Wand that I was wearing on my wrist suddenly tightened, as if it was alive. This brought me back to my senses and reminded me of what I needed to tell Marmar.

“Marmar, your tail is so good. My life has been saved several times thanks to this!”

“Of course! The Imp Tail Wand is an item that even Demon King Solomon used a lot in the old days!”

“Really? The Demon King used an Imp Tail? Wasn’t it something like a Phoenix Feather Staff?”

I couldn’t help but picture a supposed Demon King casting his great magic while pointing with his heart-shaped tail.

Normally, when I thought of a Demon King, the image of a dark necromancer wearing a black helmet and a black cloak, riding a dragon and having a voice akin to scratching glass would appear.

Yet now you were saying that he used an Imp Tail Wand like me? Suddenly, my impression of the Demon King began to change in a very bizarre way...

However, Marmar stuck out her flat chest as if she was very proud of that fact.

“Imp tails have high mana conductivity... No, it’s the highest! And when you’re hungry, you can even eat it!”

“No..., you eat this?”
