Taming The Villainesses

(EP-80.1) Fight #6

080 – Fight Of The Tigers #6

The next morning.

─Tweet. Jijibe, Jijibebe. Jijibe.

The loud chirps of the birds woke me up.

‘Bird!’

With a flash of thought, I opened the window and called the birds chirping in the nearby tree.

“Come here.”

Using a taming spell, the pigeons flocked to my window. I then tied some simple scrolls on their ankles.

“Deliver this to Gorgor, Marmar and Kalira. You can do it, right?”

━Gu.

As I watched the birds fly, I recalled the writing I found yesterday in the warehouse on the rooftop of the dormitory; concerning Reinhardt, Aleister and Isaiah.

If my guess was correct, this Isaiah would probably be the Angmar survivor. And there was a good chance that he was my father…

If the Angmar survivor was an Ark student, there must be some record of him.

Hence, I decided to send out the subordinates I had planted in Ark. Their task would be to investigate the man named ‘Isaiah’.

Of course, I was also going to be investigating on my own.

After all, I wanted to see how the warehouse in the dormitory rooftop was originally used.

Now that I had discovered the great families’ heads once lived in the Truth Hall, doing nothing would be the pinnacle of indolence.

I could tolerate not being able to do anything due to a lack of information. But I certainly couldn’t forgive myself for not moving despite knowing.

I had to do anything to survive!

However, I soon discovered someone was waiting for me. They were currently looking in the mirror and examining themselves.

“Do you always get up later than expected, commoner?”

It was the silver-haired Mirna Draco…

“Nar-.”

I almost said Narmi, and had to hurriedly cover my mouth with a cough. Instead, I answered with my head bowed.

“Good morning, Lady Mirna. What brings you here?”

“Commoner, I’m going to give you a chance to escort me today. Be grateful for this opportunity. Isn’t it common sense for gentlemen to escort their ladies?”

… Was there such common sense?

“Ah, understood. I didn’t know.”

Seuk.

Mirna then held out her white hand to me. Did she want me to hold it and lead her?

Neither Aira or Elga had ever asked me to do this. So when I grabbed her hand, Mirna’s eyebrows wrinkled, feeling the awkwardness.

“If you hold on so strongly, it might leave marks on my fragile hand.”

“I’m sorry. So, where should I take you?”

“It’s up to you…. No, I heard that Lady Lioness has a match today, let’s head to the training ground.”

‘I see.’

Holding Mirna’s hand, we left the dorm. On the way, I could hear a bunch of whispers and murmurs.

━Look, they’re walking hand in hand at school.

━Are they a campus couple? What a sight to see in the morning…

━As the cherry blossoms bloom, the number of lovers is increasing!

━They’ll probably also break up when the cherry blossoms fall. It’s not a once or twice type of occurrence~.

For others, walking while holding hands made us seem like lovers.

However, it was closer to a servant and Young Lady of a family in reality. Still, I was unfamiliar with the experience of hand holding while walking and felt my face heat up.

Also, a campus couple, really?

It reminded me of my dark college days as a college CC. At that time, rumors of being a CC were flying everywhere. So I eventually ran away to the army….

“Theo Gospel, you’re walking too fast.”

Mirna tugged at my hand, putting a halt to my 21st century campus thoughts.

“I’m sorry, I’m not used to this kind of thing.”

“I see. You’ve never held hands with Queen Tarantera and Lady Lioness, have you?”

Well, I had done something more amazing than that. But thinking about it now, I had indeed never done the simplest skinship of hand holding while walking. I never even tried to.

Mirna Draco chuckled behind her open fan.

“Everyone’s not good with their first time. Don’t worry, I, Mirna Draco, am generous~.”

Mirna might be generous.

But the world wasn’t so kind to me.

Because when we got out of the dormitory, we met a completely unexpected person.

“Oh, who is this? Well, If it isn’t Lady Lioness?”

“What, you-.”

Whether it was by chance or fate, I ran into Elga, who was jogging near the Truth Hall.

No, it was probably not a coincidence…

Seeing Mirna and I holding hands, Elga’s expression began to dramatically distort.

Hieek….

I almost dropped Mirna’s hand due to numbness. However, Mirna held my hand so tightly that I couldn’t let it go.

Seureuk.

At this time, Elga calmly asked, seemingly to have regained her composure.

“What are you guys doing? Why are you two holding hands?”

I felt the world darken despite having my eyes wide open. My time had come…

However, I’d already talked to Elga yesterday. Elga should understand the situation if I picked my words right.

But just as I opened my mouth to say, “What happened is-,” Mirna already beat me to it.

“I was being escorted by this commoner.”

“Escort?”

“Isn’t it common sense to be escorted by your suitor? Lady Lioness, you’re the lady of a great noble family. Shouldn’t you be aware of that?”

Mirna berated Elga for her ‘ignorance.’ She might be trying to pick on her, but Elga calmly asked back seemingly unbothered.

“Theo Gospel, your suitor?”

Elga naturally asked. Her expression soon changed into an arrogant and dignified one. Perhaps, her thoughts of making fun of Mirna helped allay her anger.

However, Mirna was not aware of that fact, as she wore a prideful expression.

“Has Lady Lioness not heard the news? I’m sure it’s already spread all around campus that this young and capable Half-Nymph asked me out.”

“Ah-. I think I’ve heard of it.”

This position was simply, very uncomfortable…
