Taming The Villainesses novel Chapter 99

(EP-99.2) Cannot Be Buried #2

099 – The Truth Cannot Be Buried #2

Stella’s attitude was strangely passive, which made me feel kind of sorry for being so aggressive. Thus, I tried to tone it down a little.

“Then tell me the truth. I am busy, I don’t have time for games.”

“Alright, I’ll be frank. Your guess is very close, good enough to be ‘correct’. And it’s the most accurate I’ve heard so far.”

‘Oh, I see.’

I felt a refreshing sensation as if a jumbled ball of thread finally got untangled. Perhaps, it was because of Calm Thinking, but I seemed to have a knack for guesses.

However, one question remained.

“Then why didn’t it happen? Where is Isaiah Angmar?”

Actually, I knew where he was.

He was probably dead.

Just that, how did he die?

This was what I wanted to ask.

But Stella shook her head.

“I don’t know. Isaiah Sunbae just dropped out and suddenly disappeared one day. The club disbanded right after, shifting responsibilities to and doubting each other-.”

“I see.”

“Is that all the questions?”

I said, “Just a moment-,” in response as I organized my thoughts.

Professor Stella then looked up at the ceiling again, “I miss those days.”

“It felt like they’re just yesterday. Dungeon crawling with the Sunbaes and searching for the Demon King’s treasure....”

Then, a shadow casted over her expression.

“We don’t know where he is or what he is doing. We have searched all over the continent to find him, but couldn’t. He might have gone beyond the barrier....”

That was the end of Stella’s story.

It had a lot of weight behind it, but there wasn’t a lot of information. Still, this was a considerable harvest. I’d confirmed that my guess was more [N O V E L I G H T] or less correct.

“But you managed to deduce what we had kept hidden. How did you do it?”

Then Stella veered the conversation towards me.

Well, I had enough information to go off of because of my involvement with the different families. I also knew that there was an Angmar survivor in advance.

However, from an outsider’s perspective, it might seem like I had deduced something out of nothing.

As I was thinking, Stella scrutinized me from the bottom-up and continued in praise.

“Theo Gospel, Angmar’s Demon Monk. It seems that the rumors aren’t just rumors. Do you want to be my assistant? Or do you plan on going to graduate school?”

“No, thank you.”

“Hmm. Well, anyway, that’s the end of the story. The Adventure Club building has also been long closed.”

“Ah.”

Speaking of building, I remembered something. I then took out a book from my bag and showed it to Stella.

“Do you know any of the names here? Priga Nightfall and Theo Gospel. They seem to be around the same time before the Wish Hall got closed.”

“Priga-. It’s the Saintess’ name. And Theo Gospel-.”

Stella started reminiscing with her slender eyes.

“I do remember one instance. It was during the time when I was away in search of Isaiah Sunbae, but the Saintess definitely joined the club with a strange man.”

“By strange man, do you mean Theo Gospel?”
