Rehabilitate the Villainess

68 – Where are yours and mine

I said to Shael, who was glaring at me.

“Do you want to go out with me? I heard that there is an art gallery that opened recently.”

I conveyed my heart. I also confirmed Shael’s feelings.

I was able to express my affection, which would have been frustrating in the eyes of others, but was simple and difficult.

So I wanted to take a walk outside with Shael. Because I wanted to enjoy the changed relationship with Shael.

To be honest, I didn’t have a lot of time to keep playing like this.

The crown prince, the master of the mage tower, and Clie. Because those three beings will surely threaten the future of me and Shael.

Perhaps Clie lost his powers. I could tell just by looking at the fact that nothing happened to Baslet and Azbel while I passed out.

There is no guarantee that there will be no risk. The tower master and the crown prince have power as well as strength. Clie must have excellent personal connections.

Even force and power are not everything. Improbable items that will come out in the future will come out and threaten Shael.

An imperial festival that will be held soon. The rewards that come out of any competition there are huge things.

A potion of love. If two people share a drink, it is an elixir that will make them fall in love.

The reason why the potion that would pose a threat to society could be given as a reward for the Imperial Festival was simple.

Because from that competition, it was a competition to show off love.

Even so, I didn’t want to understand the effect of the love potion.

Now I just resent myself for reading that implausible novel. First, you need to make a plan.

If Clie gets the potion, it will be a very big risk.

I don’t think Shael and I will be able to drink that potion. From now on, I thought I would never be separated from Shael.

Even so, the potion will be a threat. It would be a big deal if Clie could perfectly seduce not only the master of the mage tower and the crown prince, but also another powerful person.

Even I have no chance left. In the danger I’ve been through due to clie before….

I used pearls. It would have moved to the point exactly three days ago, so while I passed out, time wouldn’t have moved again.

But now there are no pearls. Of course, the pearls I had in the past had disappeared.

Fortunately, Clie couldn’t steal the love potion, the product of the Imperial Festival, in advance under the authority of the tower master and the crown prince.

In the novel, you will only receive the love potion after the Imperial Festival is over.

So the love potion probably hasn’t even arrived in the empire yet.

I just hope Clie doesn’t steal the love potion before then.

So, until the Imperial Festival begins. Until then, I was planning to spend a happy time with Shael.

The servants should have informed me that I had woken up, so that Duke Jespen would not worry.

When I asked if he would like to go out, Shael answered.

“Is it raining?”

Certainly, as Sael said, it was raining outside…

I didn’t want to be in the mansion. Maybe it’s because I passed out for 15 days, because my body was stuffy.

That’s how I took Sael and left the Baslet family’s mansion with an umbrella in her hand.

The pouring raindrops. Shael and I walked with our bodies entrusted to one umbrella.

Shoot ah-

The rain started getting stronger. One umbrella is not enough.

You can use magic, but…

I didn’t bother. The first outside after confirming her heart with Shael. I wanted to make Shael’s heart flutter as much as possible.

At times like this, what do the main characters in novels usually do?

Replaying that in my head, I put the umbrella on Shael as much as I could.

In the first place, I wanted to make it so that raindrops would never fall on Sael.

Instead, my right shoulder got wet right away.

It worked, Shael said.

“What are you doing?”

That word full of dissatisfaction. Shael added.

“I’m not stupid.”

Don’t you usually feel the excitement here?

My lover covered me with an umbrella in the rain instead of me.

I really don’t know. Like Sael, I was the one who learned love through books.

Shael opened his mouth again.

“It’s raining, so stick around.”

Blushing her face was a bonus.

I wanted to make Sael’s heart flutter…

It was me who suffered. She was taken aback by Sael’s reaction and in her anguish, Sael felt her frustration and attached himself to me.

“⋯.”

The sound of loud rain is considered good luck. The sound of rain was filling the awkward atmosphere even a little bit.

As if he wanted to get rid of the awkwardness, Shael spat out something.

“⋯I’m bored.”

“Then, would you like to continue your previous work?”

The distance to the art museum, which is our destination, is still quite far. So, what did you suggest to Shael?

It was to do what a lover would do.

Shael asked in bewilderment.

“What do we do?”

“Would you like to cross your arms?”

In fact, she had already crossed her arms. It was the experience when Klee was tailing us.

Of course, it was obvious that it would be difficult even to cross arms now.

“This, like this?”

Instead of crossing her arms, Shael, who had become timid, placed her fingers on my forearm.

I smiled and opened my mouth.

“Where did that hot personality go?”

From holding hands to crossing arms, they went through such hardships.

Now it’s frustrating. No matter how many times she presses on Sael, only Shael hesitates because of her shyness.

So I bet my reward.

“If you do it right, I will give you dessert.”

The leftover desserts from cooking were in my magic pouch.

-‘Let me eat.’

-‘No.’

Deserts barely left for Sael’s health.

I immediately thought Shael would cross her arms, but ⋯⋯.

Not at all. Shael cleared his throat and told me.

“⋯⋯ Dessert?”

“That’s right. I’ll give you the dessert I put in the magic pouch.”

Shael suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. I quickly checked the magic pouch at the sight.

The desserts left behind were gone.

“⋯.”

“That…”

I had a similar memory. The memory of having the dessert taken away by the wicked woman in the short time that I went to the bathroom for a while.

It was the same this time. During the short time I went to the bathroom, my dessert went into Shael’s stomach.

I said to Shael with an expression on my face. For the time being, I will have to live without dessert.

Because of the many mistakes I’ve made to Shael lately, I didn’t want to do this…

If Sael’s health depends on it, the story will be different.

Shael understood the meaning of my expression and said.

“Between us….”

“⋯.”

“⋯⋯ Where are yours and mine?”

Where is Shael who couldn’t even hold his hand because he was embarrassed?

Shael, who was eating dessert, was easily spitting out even cheesy words.

Even with that excuse, I don’t show any signs of being persuaded.

It was Shael who easily crossed her arms.

“⋯⋯, It would have been enough to run.”

“What would it be?”

I’m sorry. She thought of Shael’s health in the first place, so she didn’t let her eat dessert.

Sooner or later, I’ll have to punish you with dessert. Come to think of it, there was something suitable.

Should I try mint chocolate? Disliked food. I hated it. So, I wanted to feed Shael as well.

It’s unlikely that such a thing would exist in this world of romance fantasy novels, but if you create it, it will be enough.

“As a prize, I will serve you a new dish soon.”

I just told Shael, hoping for revenge.

After a while, I saw the art gallery, which was my destination.

I entered the art gallery expecting a happy time with Shael.

* * *

Tung!

Clie kicked a stone. An act of ill will. Even though she’s only kicked a stone, her ankle hurts.

He sighs at his sick body, which is difficult to adjust to. It’s a body that has become very strong since getting her bracelet of holy power.

Now that is a thing of the past. Because the bracelet of holy power was broken.

It was Eran Baslett’s work.

Even the only chance to cure the disease was taken away.

“⋯.”

The royal family was very busy with all sorts of events approaching, and due to a power struggle in the tower, it was not possible to meet the owner of the tower and the crown prince.

No, I actually had to avoid it. If you met the prince who had to spend time in the imperial family for a while, you could spend endless time in the imperial family.

Magic Tower Master Going to a magic tower with many enemies is also a bad decision. The fact that Clie liked the Master of the Mage Tower was a fact known to all wizards of the Mage Tower.

I didn’t want to go to the magic tower full of enemies like that.

Because the Mage Tower was full of people who were not in good spirits.

In fact, it has been like that since the owner of the Magic Tower.

Because of that, I couldn’t do anything for a while.

‘⋯⋯Love Elixir.’

Your only chance to get revenge on Eran Baslet. Even though the Imperial Festival was approaching.

Just waiting was all Clie could do.

What if I contacted the crown prince or the owner of the tower and told them to find the potion, or inform them of the existence of the love potion?

It’s obvious how things will go. Rather, it would be Clie who would consume the potion.

First of all, it is necessary to become friendly with various powerful people. In order to prevent even a little bit of illness, take care of your body.

Beep.

So I gathered up my patience and came to the zoo in Azbel Manor.

Animals that purify the air. The territory of the Azbel family, which from the very beginning has the air of great magical power.

Because there was no place that healed Clie more than the Azbel Family Zoo.

Beep.

An unpleasant sound is heard. A very cute looking, pure white puppy.

In a sturdy cage, tied to a leash and placed in a corner, it was a very cute existence.

Of course, that wasn’t the reason Clie liked the puppy.

“What a mutt.”

Because Clie’s mind was exhausted. Even, it seemed that the unpleasant magic of the Azbel family could be sensed from the little beast.

No, I can feel it. Azbel family’s magical power. It was clear that someone with Azbelian blood had cast a spell on the little beast.

Tung─

Tak!

A pebble kicked by Clie, who was annoyed by that fact. It hit the little beast directly.

Clie, who was watching the puppy from a short distance, frowned. I don’t know why they used sturdy cages to confine things like this at most.

Beep-!

Clie, who was touching the beast, removed his hand. When Clie, who lost interest, turned around and tried to leave us.

Kuuu——!

Clie heard a loud sound that was incomparable to that of a moment ago.
