Taming The Villainesses novel Chapter 85

(EP-85.2) Club #4

085 – Adventure Club #4

... Why did I have no subordinates or colleagues?

Of course, there were quite a few people whom I’d hired, but the only colleague I could say to be ‘reliable’ was Marmar.

Gorgor was fine, but he’d be too conspicuous.

“Hmm.”

Someone who could move around without being noticed, loyal and trustworthy. There was only one that fitted these criteria...

─Wiiiii-.

I whistled.

In response, a crow singing in a tree flew over and perched on my shoulder. Seeing this, Marmar exclaimed in surprise.

“Wow, what? What did you just do? That’s awesome!”

She looked amazed about my bird-handling.

“You can call birds with a whistle? This makes hunting them so much easier! There are a lot of kkwings (뀡) here, can you call them over too?”

“You mean, pheasants (kkweongs, 꿩)?”

[T/N: a play on words, both words are very close in spelling]

“Yes! Pheasants! They’re tasty!”

To use my taming magic to hunt birds... I never thought of this idea before, but it might work. However, that wasn’t the point right now.

I took a small scroll from my pocket and tied it to the crow’s foot.

“Deliver this to the infirmary in the Central Student Center building.”

[T/N: Central Cadet Office changed to Central Student Center]

─Caww-!

The crow then soared as if it understood my words.

Paseukseuk.

As I cut through the bushes, I saw a building covered in vines among the trees. The limestone building looked about three stories high.

The ugly and desolate exterior wall seemed to have been painted on, but it had peeled off after a long time.

It was literally an abandoned building amongst the forest.

“That’s the Wish Hall.”

“It looks spooky...”

I could see ‘who came and went’ graffiti under the vines which made me infer that this place was used as a meeting place by delinquents or as a courage test.

Wiik-.

I whistle to a nearby bird. The sparrow perched on my finger and I instructed it to search the inside of the building.

After some time, the sparrow returned.

━Tweet Tweet.

“You’re saying there’s no one there?”

━Tweet.

“Okay, go there for now.”

The sparrow quietly entered Marmar’s bag. Someday, it would turn into Marmar’s meal...

Marmar, who got a sparrow free of charge, happily hummed.

“Hehe. Dotdodoo~. A chubby sparrow.”

“... Well then, let’s go inside.”

I slowly approached the abandoned building.

The still-standing building abandoned 20 years ago had an eerie and gloomy atmosphere.

If it was like this even in the daytime with shining sun and noisy bugs, I would not have been able to do anything other than shiver if I came here last night.

Dolgak, kiiiik.

Opening the front door that had a broken lock, I entered the building. The temperature was cool.

According to the records, the meeting place of the adventure club was underground.

Marmar found something useful among the discarded items and put it in her bag. _{freeweɓnovēl.coɱ}
