This is Not How You Use a Villainess Sir

Chapter 37: Sir, That’s Not How You Use a Bad Woman

Despite the messy process, the outcome turned out quite well.

Considering the danger level of the Dead Sea, it indeed deserves a perfect score.

The last thing to confirm is the Dead Sea border’s most distinctive feature — the Tabooed Ones.

Even though Sosia already knew from the information brought back from Yubane that Chu Yan was well-received among the Tabooed Ones, she still needed to make the trip.

She said:

“Then take me on another tour of the prison castle now.”

Seeing so many stages passed, Chu Yan felt much more at ease, as touring the prison castle was the part he was most confident about.

After the Blood Moon, his relationship with the jailbird sisters had improved significantly.

Those who were once distant, now had closer ties; he had successfully met several reclusive taboo-breakers face to face.

Those who were once close, now had “advanced” their relationship, cough cough…

“Please follow me!”

Chu Yan led the way.

…

At the same time, in the lord’s castle.

Due to the executioner’s visit, several people who were supposed to go out for a walk at this time chose to give Chu Yan face and stayed inside the castle temporarily, not wandering outside at will.

If their stroll caused Chu Yan to lose a few points in his final score, it would indeed be somewhat indefensible.

However, choosing to stay in the castle ≠ continuing to stay in their own rooms.

Taking this opportunity, Janet, Omega, and a few other rarely seen companions gathered in the lord’s bedroom to discuss the matters after Chu Yan’s departure.

After today, Chu Yan’s trial assessment would be complete, and he was sure to leave with the executioner.

The Dead Sea border was definitely in need of noble guardianship; would they send some new troublemakers afterward?

They were still unaware of Chu Yan’s decision to apply for permanent residence, hence there was concern, mainly fearing trouble.

“There aren’t that many chairs here, make do and sit on the bed, Chu Yan’s whereabouts…”

As the owner of this bedroom (she had tidied it up), Shanoa began to explain Chu Yan’s decision to her companions.

Just then, the door opened.

“It’s just that the changes outside are big, but basically, there’s no change inside the castle, it’s the same as when you last came.

This is my room, just an ordinary bedroom and…”

Chu Yan’s speech halted as he looked at the pile of good sisters on his bed, then turned to look at the executioner and the maid behind him.

He suddenly didn’t know how to explain.

“Madam Executioner, normal social interactions shouldn’t affect the score, right?”

Chapter 36: I’m Not That Kind of High-Profile Person

The lady executioner, upon seeing this scene, was truly astounded!

This trial assessment, not a single aspect made her feel it was mediocre… no, there was not a single aspect that was normal.

Every stage of the operation was far beyond her expectations, beyond the imagination of a normal person!

It was not something a human could do, but if one were to look only at the results—

Excellent!

The operation of the Dead Sea border has now truly come full circle, seamless as the heavens.

If the Dead Sea armed forces have alleviated the pressure of clearing common demons, then this fellow’s relationship with the Taboo has eased the trouble of dealing with elite demons.

The key is how this guy got so close to the Taboo, to have them chatting together on the bed in the bedroom.

“This isn’t part of the trial assessment’s scoring requirements; I only focus on those few assessment criteria.”

The executioner stepped out from the doorway, staring inside, not too friendly.

Her impression of these Taboo was more of danger, aloofness, elusiveness, and the risk of losing control.

If not necessary, the executioner was also unwilling to get involved with them.

From noble mtl dot come

Chu Yan calmed down, accompanied the executioner and her servant, and sent them to the guest room they had used before, asking:

“So, what’s my score this time?”

He was still unsure inside, knowing that the process was unconventional, the kind that couldn’t be spoken of.

“I can give you full marks, to commend your outstanding performance in the perilous area. Are you excited?”

“A bit excited, yes, but I feel there are many areas where I fall short. Perhaps… Miss Executioner, could you lower the score a bit, to give me the pursuit of future improvement?”

What a joke, the current Dead Sea border still harbors two huge time bombs.

One is the sinking of the main heir of the Black Ice Dragon lineage by him, the other is the binding of the church’s nun by him in Asia.

In the past, no one paid attention to the trial scores of the young dragon lineage, after all, everyone knew it was somewhat of a free pass, and fighting over a few points made no sense.

But Chu Yan suddenly came out with full marks, and that drew more attention. Why should everyone rely on their background, and he could rely on a full score?

A detailed investigation would dig up those two big mines, and that would be troublesome!

“But I truly feel that you deserve this full mark, no need to be modest. Even if someone questions it, when they see your results with their own eyes, everyone will shut up.”

The executioner now truly felt this way, and it also happened to do Tiffany a favor.

“But too high a score would make me complacent, not conducive to my future development!”

Chu Yan was truly sweating profusely, feeling oppressed by the praise of high acclaim.

“Alright then.”

Seeing Chu Yan’s attitude so firm, the executioner had to comply with his wish, tentatively pressing the score to a more conventional “90,” which is considered [Excellent].

Chu Yan wanted to continue negotiating, to see if he could press it down a little more, like turning that “9” upside down to write “60,” a [Good] score that would fit the difficulty of the trial here.

But too much hesitation could easily expose the ghosts in his heart, so he had to give up.

“The record is written, please sign.”

The maid Bird Feather completed the inspection record and handed the book to the executioner.

After a brief review, she signed next to the [Excellent] grade, certifying the score and declaring it effective.

The maid then placed the booklet into a magically sealed archive bag.

Chu Yan recalled the “helpless and pitiful” when he first arrived at the Dead Sea border, and now, this trial was a burden he could finally release.

“Then come back with me tomorrow, you can return to the tranquil comfort of Dragonflame City, and rest to ease the fatigue from the trials.”

The executioner said to Chu Yan, his tone carrying a hint of gentle change, as if he had thought of something amusing, bringing forth a trace of eager pleasure.

If Chu Yan returns, he should be able to meet Isha, who’s back from her mission.

That woman Tiffany, she’s been cozying up to Chu Yan by leveraging her relationship with Isha, even venturing into the territory of the Red Demon Dragonkin.

Who knows what interesting events might unfold~

……

Night falls.

Chu Yan returns to his room, and after getting the details from Shanoa about the “bed party,” he finally understands the truth.

It turns out the sisterly figures downstairs came to inquire about the nun, as well as the matter of the permanent nobility to follow.

The Dead Sea now harbors too many things that must not see the light of day. If Chu Yan were to leave, and a new lord were to come, considering a series of disadvantages, they could only plan to take drastic measures.

To let “accidents” happen once more to the nobility upon their assumption of duty.

Chu Yan and they are “accomplices,” and with the understanding of these past days, regardless of whether they wish to be close to Chu Yan or not, at least their attitude is one of trust and recognition.

They trust Chu Yan, but they wouldn’t gamble on whether the new lord is trustworthy.

As taboo bearers, they are acutely aware of the outside world’s attitude towards them, as if holy, pure angels were scrutinizing fallen, ugly demons.

Only Chu Yan is an abnormal exception.

“Did you tell them about my decision, Shanoa?” Chu Yan is comforted by this trust, a smile playing on his lips.

“Yes, otherwise they planned to set up trap magic on the road ahead of time. That way, the new lord would die on the way to his post, not here.”

“…” Chu Yan is speechless.

That indeed needed to be said in advance, otherwise, he would have been the one ensnared.

“I will set out on my journey tomorrow, and once I return to Dragonflame City, I will apply to become the permanent lord here at the first opportunity. The mess left by the nun and the Black Ice Dragonkin can’t be left for you to fret over.”

“You’re leaving tomorrow, so soon?”

Shanoa thought there would be a few days’ delay. Why is the executioner leaving so abruptly, having stayed for a while last time?

“It’s urgent, of course. Every additional day the executioner lingers here, we risk exposing more about what we’ve done to the nun.”

“That’s true.”

Shanoa nods, agreeing with this reasoning.

This farewell is more sudden than expected, and while she feels a tinge of reluctance, it doesn’t show on her face.

“That… Shanoa, there’s something I want to tell you.” Chu Yan suddenly becomes hesitant, shy and embarrassed.

“What do you intend to say, go on!”

Shanoa looks at him curiously, her gaze odd. Seeing his embarrassed state, she can’t help but feel curious and expectant.
