Taming The Villainesses

Episode 234.2

(EP-234.2)#2

234 – Dawn #2

After examining it closely, I confirmed that this was indeed the end. Still, based on my experiences, I could make a guess. 

As the last survivor of the Angmar Family, I had a duty to avenge my family by taking out its enemies and reviving the bloodline.

The 0/4 progress likely referred to the progress of my revenge against the four great families.

「You have calmly judged the situation!

You have gained experience points through the talent 《Calm Thinking》.

All job experience +5」 

It seemed that my deduction skills weren’t bad after all.

I was curious.

Perhaps there lied the answer to why I was going through all this.

* * *

I decided to part ways with Professor Balan and the Guide for now. I also had them keep quiet and stay out of trouble.

“Wa, was I helpful?”

Balan asked, curious about her contributions in this night’s bloodbath.

Thinking back, she had spent the whole day fussing, screaming, getting caught in traps, and generally annoying me. But in the end, the garlic extract bomb she made helped. 

To put it bluntly, she barely passed.

“Good job. But you’ll have to work a little harder in the future.”

“I will!”

Balan seemed very pleased and bowed deeply. It was clear she only heard the part where I said she did well, completely ignoring the rest.

Now, I turned my attention to the Guide. 

There were more things I needed to discuss with him about Saintess Priga, Isaiah—my supposed father—and the fall of Angmar.

However, as mentioned earlier, the nascent sunlight was upon us. We didn’t have much time right now.

“We’ll continue our conversation soon. And if Miss Elga or Miss Mirna comes to visit you, just say you don’t know anything.”

“Understood.”

The Guide politely bowed.

Just last night, he had been a suspicious enemy, and now we were having such an open conversation. It felt weird. It was the same with Balan.

I almost died.

Subduing Balan and the Guide was not easy.

The problem was that I might have to fight like this again when facing the remaining Ars Nova— the second-ranked Agares and the first-ranked. It seemed no one knew what their abilities were.

I needed to work on this more.

I hurriedly made my way back to my dormitory. After brushing off the dust from my clothes and cleaning myself, I gathered my thoughts. 

The birds chirped as they greeted the morning. 

Looking at the calendar, I remembered a very important event happening today.

After all, it was vote counting day.

The last day of the festival and the announcement of the Queen of July. It also marked Ark’s end of semester and the beginning of vacation.

“Hu-.”

After running hard to meet the daily running goal, I arrived in front of Aira’s dormitory.

Ttuk ttuk-.

Even after knocking on her door, there was no response from inside.

She was probably still asleep.

Should I go in?

Click, giiiek.

I opened the door and slowly leaned over Aira in bed.

“Aira-nim, it’s time to wak….”

Then my lips paused for a moment.

This might be a good opportunity to experiment a little while Aira was sleeping. I could test the effectiveness of my newly acquired foresight ability.

「2. Kiss someone of the opposite sex – Upon completion, job ‘Casanova’ +50 experience」

Yeah, this one.

I first poked Aira’s cheek.

Squish-.

Even as my finger lightly pressed into her soft cheek, Aira continued to sleep soundly, no reaction.

“…….”

In this innocent void, it felt like horns were growing in my heart.

Should I just go for it and kiss her?

However, there was also the tension of wonder, if her eyes would suddenly open the moment I brought my lips to hers.

But that tension just made the playboy Theo in me stronger.

Seureuk-.

I slowly gathered my courage. Was this how the prince felt when kissing the sleeping, cursed princess? No, that was a weird analogy… 

Aira was a princess, a witch, and a queen all at the same time.

She was closer to a villain in a fairy tale, and she was also a villain in reality.

Chup-.

A light peck.

Aira’s lips were incredibly soft and had a sweet scent. The pounding of my heart was so loud that I jumped back in surprise. 

「Daily Goal Completed!」

Words indicating that my Casanova job experience had increased appeared before my eyes. But what mattered now was whether Aira had woken up from that.

“…….”

I watched Aira, more silent than ever. She remained peacefully asleep, oblivious to what had just occurred.

Swish-.

However, with a slight movement, the blanket draped over her slipped off, revealing her fair chest through the thin negligee. Her skin was whiter and purer than milk.

“…”

My mouth suddenly felt dry.

She didn’t wake up from the kiss…

With that thought, I gently touched the cherry-colored bud peeking through her negligee. 

Very carefully, very delicately.

“…”

My fingers, extended towards the air, finally touched the cute little bump. 

Seureuk-.

Her nipple felt more elastic and slightly firmer than I had imagined. Though I’d licked it covered in soap before, it was my first time touching it, secretly at that. 

Sareuk-. 

When I lightly rubbed it with my index finger, Aira frowned and twitched.

“… Mmm.”

Thump thump.

My heart roared like an eight-cylinder engine. Already revving up like a supercar’s 0 to 100 acceleration, the devil on my side was pushing me to attempt something even more daring.

Knock knock knock.

━Tarantera-nim! It’s Lily! It’s time to wake up!

Startled, I quickly withdrew my hand.
