Taming The Villainesses

(EP-124.1) Hunting #4

124 – Monster Hunt #4

Aira’s door swung open.

As I entered, I saw her lying soundly between the soft sheets of her bed.

It was getting late in the morning, yet she was still sleeping.

I didn’t want to risk changing her mood, so I sat on the nearby sofa and waited for Aira to wake up.

An hour passed, then two hours…

There was no sign of her stirring awake, no matter how long I waited.

She was like an animal hibernating for the winter.

With no other choice, I turned my attention to my surroundings. It wouldn’t hurt to explore Aira’s room since I was already at this point.

As for my conclusion, Aira’s room was quite girly.

Fluffy dolls were strewn all over the place, and candies wrapped in shiny wrapping paper filled the clear and transparent glass bottles.

Seeing the beautiful teacup and teapot, I thought of brewing myself some tea and turned on the magic burner.

Blopblopblop-.

Just as the fragrant white tea was steeped to perfection…-.

“It smells good.”

Emerging from the blanket, Aira stretched her arms out with a yawn. I promptly poured her a freshly brewed tea in a pretty teacup on a coaster.

“It’s hot, my lady.”

After receiving it, Aira made a light blow before drinking the hot tea in one go.

“It’s good. You brewed it well. Thank you.”

Perhaps there was some magical effect in her breath as she blew on it, like a spell that regulated the temperature.

“So what brings you here in my room, Theo?”

Aira was finally ready to talk to me.

I took the empty cup from her hand and placed it aside, then cautiously began to state my piece.

“I have a request to ask of Queen Aira.”

“A request?”

Aira raised her black, neat eyebrows as if she had heard an unbelievable story.

“Theo, it’s been a long time since you made a request to me. Is it something that you cannot handle on your own?”

“Well-.”

I pondered how to explain this. Then I thought it would be best to be straightforward without unnecessary detours.

“I… I plan to enter a dungeon this time. Would it be possible for you, Your Highness Aira, to accompany me?”

“Dungeon…?”

“Yes, a dungeon.”

“Why are you going to a dungeon?”

To diligently level up and eventually conquer you. Of course, I couldn’t say such a thing, so while Aira was sleeping, I came up with an excuse.

“I think there may be clues about the Forbidden Legacy of the Demon King in the ruins. Also, it was mentioned that Isaiah explored various ruins while he was active in the adventure club, so we might be able to follow his footsteps.”

Jojaljojal-.

Aira listened to me with sleepy eyes. She stretched out her legs from the bed and stepped on the floor.

Seureuk. I put soft pink rabbit fur slippers on Aira’s bare feet.

“…….”

However, Aira didn’t give any particular response. She simply walked towards the window, drew back the curtains, and basked in the midday sunlight that started streaming in.

It might sound cliché, but Aira’s skin in the sunlight was as pale as snow, her lips and cheeks had a lively touch of red, reminiscent of a blood rose, and her hair was as black as ebony.

The dwarfs who saw Snow White for the first time must have felt exactly the same as me right now. Actually, Aira was closer to her evil Queen than the gentle Snow White, but….

Seuk-.

Poreureung-.

As Aira reached her hand out, a bluebird that flew from somewhere perched on her slender finger, chirping. And after letting the bird go, she said.

“The weather is nice.”

“But it might rain in the late afternoon when it is windy and cloudy.”

“Is that a fairy’s intuition?”

“A fairy’s intuition?”

“It is said that Nymphs and Elves are sensitive to the weather, especially the Nymphs. I’ve read it in a book recently.”

‘A book.’

Come to think of it, there were several thick books on Aira’s desk. It seemed that Aira had been reading many books in her spare time at the dormitory.

Suddenly, I felt like I had neglected Aira too much. It had been over a month since we enrolled, but I didn’t know what Aira was doing all by herself.

“Then let’s walk a little outside first. Accompany me, Theo.”

“As you wish.”
