Taming The Villainesses novel Chapter 84

(EP-84.1) Club #3

084 – Adventure Club #3

“If you really must go to the Wish Hall, it’s best to go during daylight. The Fairy Forest is a completely different place during the day or night.”

Dinner came quick in the Fairy Forest where Marmar’s hut was.

I was a little stumped because the sun had already set and the whole area was just pitch black darkness, with the sound of the leaves rustling in the wind.

━Houuu.

━Meow.

━Ingingyaing.

━Kyuiing.

As I listened, I could hear strange sounds coming from all parts of the forest. I felt goosebumps all over my back.

━Keureeuk.

What kind of animal sounded like that?

I couldn’t tell just from its cry. It might be a terrifying monster. Or maybe even a legendary beast....

“Comrade, you should sleep here tonight.”

Marmar lit a few short candles that had almost run out, and looked carefully outside the broken window.

“I know that Comrade’s magic is good, but it is dangerous to walk alone in this forest at night where ferocious beasts roam.”

With a shadow cast on her face, Marmar briefly explained the beasts that live in the Fairy Forest.

Since the pet beasts raised by the warriors are often abandoned in this forest, the fairy forest itself was no different than a dangerous ecosystem.

“Why would the warriors abandon beasts here?”

“They said they would come back for them, but there were a lot that didn’t. In fact, many had no intention of coming back from the very beginning, even knowing that their beasts would be waiting here.”

“Abandoning pets, what bastards...”

The abandoned pets would probably be fighting for each other’s survival.

Paseuseuk-.

It was then that I heard something moving through the bushes.

“I didn’t expect for the sun to set so fast. I guess I’ll have to spend the night in your house, Marmar.”

“You can sleep on the bed tonight!”

At Marmar’s words, I looked at the cramped single bed.

Now that I took a closer look, it wasn’t an actual bed, but a makeshift bed made with wooden boxes and covered with a blanket.

However, that bed looked like the most decent thing in this old hut, and you were lending it to me?

“But, Marmar, where are you going to sleep?”

“I can sleep on the floor! I brought a carpet from Professor Bellhawk’s lab not too long ago.”

The idea of having the owner of the house sleep on the floor, while I lay on their bed in comfort was pricking my conscience. I felt ashamed.

“Actually, I’m planning on staying up all night. So Marmar can sleep on the bed.”

“Will that be okay?”

“Yes. Well, I have a lot to organize and need to practice a few things anyway.”

For example, the relationship between the information and people I’d discovered so far and things to do in the future.

I needed to know what magic I could use and the extent of my usage. Not to mention taking the time to sort out potentially dangerous variables in my plans.

I could do the various tasks I’d been putting off tonight.

“Comrade, you’re so kind! You really gave me the bed!”

Marmar was shaking like someone who’d been very moved. The fact that I yielded the bed to her seemed to have touched her heart.

... But why?

... It was supposed to be your bed in the first place.
