Rehabilitate the Villainess

69 – Bring them all

An art gallery located in Baslett’s estate that Sael and I came to. I took Sael and started to appreciate the numerous paintings.

Shael, who was looking at the painting beside her, said.

“Even if I draw it, it will be better than this.”

“Is that so?”

I’m sure my personality got better, but…

She’s still Sael, who seems to have a little bit of a villainous side to her.

But even that seemed cute to me now. I feel like I’ve been brainwashed by Sael’s cuteness.

“⋯⋯ I kind of like this picture.”

“⋯.”

She turned her head in anticipation as to what kind of picture satisfied Sael.

A picture of delicious-looking cupcakes. Shael was pointing to it and praising her drawing.

At the same time, they look at me earnestly. I could immediately figure out what Shael wanted.

“Even if you look at it like that, there will be no dessert for a while.”

“Why?”

“You shouldn’t even think about your health.”

Even in a fantasy world, there was no magic that could cure a disease completely.

So, for Sael’s health, it is necessary to ban dessert.

Sael, who noticed my strong will, asked.

“⋯⋯ Even like this?”

Shael tilted her head while holding my hand. It was Shael’s own aegyo.

Looking at her blushing face, it was easy to guess how difficult that action must have been for Shael.

Of course, Sael’s health depended on it, so there was no way her cuteness would work on me.

I decided to attack Shael after a long time. She spat out her words that pierced Shael’s pride.

“You will gain weight.”

“⋯!”

Of course, this is one of the things Sael doesn’t want to hear. Leaving the trembling Shael behind, she pointed at a picture and said,

“I see a picture I like, so I move.”

That casually spoken word was a fatal mistake. The picture I was pointing to was a picture with a portrait of another woman engraved on it.

Shael asked, pointing to the woman in the picture.

“⋯⋯Do you like that woman?”

Red hair, nice look. A woman with light blue hair and an impression that is the complete opposite of Sael, who used to be a villainess.

Since I said I liked the portrait of a woman like that, of course Sael couldn’t be in a good mood.

“It was a joke.”

“I don’t think I was kidding.”

Looking at Shael with a bloody voice. She is glaring at me with Shael frowning her face.

It was the expression of a villain I haven’t seen in a long time. I said to Shael in a cold sweat.

“How can I tell you I like another woman?”

“You just said that.”

Before I could make an excuse, Shael added.

“I think I know what my fiancé likes.”

“⋯.”

“You liked a woman who had the exact opposite impression of me. With red hair, a woman with a completely different feel than me.”

I gave up my excuses. Instead, she expressed her love for Shael.

“I like light blue hair.”

Clean sky blue. Actually, I don’t know if that’s my taste…

Contradictively, light blue hair is my unwavering preference.

The reason was simple. Because Sael’s hair was light blue.

“⋯.”

Sael’s face blushed, but that didn’t mean Sael’s forgiveness.

Still she was pouting her mouth with her head turned.

While giving me an annoyed look, Shael said.

“⋯⋯ Then, go to Azbel Street and make me some dessert.”

All I could do was nod my head.

At the same time, Shael smiled. Then she started walking while holding my hand.

“⋯⋯?”

“Let’s go see another picture soon.”

A completely different voice from before that sounded angry. It even sounds like a good feeling.

A low-pitched hum is also heard. Even though it looks good, the reason why I hear a low-pitched hum, not a high-pitched note.

Because Sael was tone deaf.

⋯⋯Anyway. My situation was simple.

‘I was fooled.’

I was tricked by Shael’s trick to eat dessert. Her oblivious Sael became her unusually clever Sael for dessert.

After a happy time at the art museum, Shael and I headed to the Azbel family’s mansion.

* * *

The Azbel family’s mansion. It’s been a long time since I’ve been here, so I felt welcome at the mansion.

During his fainting, he caused great concern to Duke Jespen.

So, after sending Shael to the room first, I had a long conversation with Duke Jespen.

After that, I went into Shael’s room as usual.

Kikiiikㅡ

I can hear Shael’s voice.

“Welcome.”

Even though we were only apart for a short while, that voice seemed to be happy to see us.

I smiled at Sael’s voice and sat down on her chair. But my smile was bound to break sooner or later.

“You were supposed to make dessert.”

“⋯⋯Ah.”

I forgot. This is the promise I made with Shael earlier at the art museum.

I accidentally fell for Shael’s trick…

It was a promise I really regretted. It was a promise with Sael’s health at stake.

With a thrilling smile, Shael takes me to the Azbel family’s cooking room.

I had no choice but to be taken to the Azbel family’s cooking room. To Sael’s earnestness, she had no choice but to make dessert.

But Shael’s health depends. If she continued to inhale the sweet desserts, she would of course not be able to make her feel better.

I set up a strategy to protect Shael’s health. Before long, I was able to come up with a good strategy.

The dessert that Sael is hoping for.

Let’s make it tasteless to death.

If I keep making tasteless desserts, there’s no way Shael will ask me for dessert.

It was a natural way to make Shael refrain from eating dessert. Even though she is afraid of Shael’s reaction after eating the tasteless dessert.

Because Sael’s health came first to me.

I left out all the spices for sweetness. The same was true of food materials that had ingredients that were not good for Sael’s body.

Usually unhealthy foods taste great.

So what was made were healthy but disgustingly tasteless desserts.

She took a moment to taste the dessert before handing it to Shael. As expected, a tasteless dessert that was not sweet at all was completed.

“⋯⋯Please hurry up.”

“Here you are.”

I gave it to Shael and imagined her reaction. Maybe, won’t they shout to make dessert again?

I might be able to see the expression of the evil woman glaring at me again.

If it was Sael who loved dessert to death, she might try to find another one.

Shael picked up one of her cupcakes. After taking a bite of the cupcake, Shael spoke.

“Don’t you eat?”

“I don’t really want to eat.”

I had a question while answering. Contrary to my expectations, Shael did not frown at all after eating the tasteless dessert.

‘Is it acting?’

She might be acting to feed me a tasteless dessert too.

I know that because I was like that too.

Shael picked up one of her cookies.

Wagjak-

Again, Shael was eating her cookies with a happy smile.

She was sure. She realizes that Shael is deliberately pretending that she is delicious and that she is not eating dessert.

In other words, Shael was really enjoying my dessert.

It was questionable. Sael likes sweets. But I didn’t add any sweet spices.

“Do you like it?”

I couldn’t help but ask that question from Shael’s expression, which seemed happy even at first glance.

“Of course it is delicious.”

“⋯.”

I don’t understand. At Shael’s words, she picked up a cookie and tried it, but ⋯⋯.

Only tasteless cookies existed. Even Sael was staring at me eagerly as if he wanted to eat the cookie I ate.

I couldn’t even eat cookies anymore because of that. I just watch Sael enjoy my dessert.

Suddenly, the plates with the desserts were showing the bottom.

It was an amazing speed. To the point where I can understand how Shael stole all the desserts in the short time I went to the bathroom.

Shael opened her mouth.

“Bring more. No, bring them all.”

“⋯.”

Now they even look at me earnestly, asking for more.

“Okay.”

I had no choice but to give in to Sael’s appearance. After all, the desserts I’m making now aren’t bad for the body.

If there is nothing wrong with Sael’s health, she can make it for you.

I made dessert quickly. Dessert is tasteless to me. Who likes a dessert that doesn’t taste sweet?

But this time, Shael started to eat my dessert in a hurry. Shael is smiling happily.

A look that makes you feel better just by looking at it. Looking at it, something suddenly pops into my mind.

‘⋯⋯Ah.’

I realized. Sael doesn’t love sweet and savory desserts to death.

Shael is…

“⋯⋯ Eat slowly. If it’s not enough, I’ll do more.”

I love the desserts I make to death. It was only now that I, a fool, realized that obvious fact.
