Taming The Villainesses novel Chapter 143

(EP-143.1) #3

143 – Pincer #3

The words that came out of Elga’s mouth immediately woke me up from my drowsiness.

“What did you just say?” _{fгeewebnovёl.com}

“Say what?”

Elga naturally asked back.

“What did I say?”

“Didn’t Elga-nim just say that you’ll help me?”

If my ears didn’t deceive me, Elga had definitely mentioned something about helping me in conquering Mirna.

I was genuinely taken aback by it. I never thought I would hear such words from Elga.

My sleepiness is flying to the stratosphere right now.

“Is that true?”

“Why? Didn’t you say things were going well with Mirna? I don’t think you need my help then, if things are going smoothly.”

“That’s.. right.”

It’s funny how I declared to Elga that ‘I will make a harem’ but the truth is that I only have minimal progress.

I could feel my pride as a man crumbling.

How would Elga look at me if she knew?

But if I set aside my pride, maybe I could receive help from Elga. I don’t know what kind of help it would be, but it might be better than agonizing over it alone.

So now, I’m stuck in a situation where I wanted to ask for her help, but at the same, my pride couldn’t take it.

In other words, should I suck it up and say, “Actually, I haven’t progressed further with Mirna-nim since that day.”

Elga yawned and said.

“I’m sure you’ll do well on your own. Just pretend you didn’t hear anything.”

Was I taking too long?

The ship is starting to sail, but I’ve yet to board.

In that moment, various concerns flooded my mind.

If I stubbornly cling to my pride and reject Elga’s extended help, it’s certain that it will take more time to conquer Mirna, and the repercussions of that prolonged time could snowball and overwhelm me.

In this situation where my hair is getting redder by the day, and many external factors are at ❀ Nоvеlігht ❀ (Don’t copy, read here) play such as the Ars Nova and the main character’s party—.

I realized that being stubborn here could lead to disastrous consequences. With that thought in mind, I firmly closed my eyes.

Calmly contemplating the situation, I’ve concluded that it’s the wisest to take Elga’s help offer.

「You have calmly judged the situation!

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

All job experience +5」

Alright, it’s decided.

“Heueup.”

After taking a few breaths, I slowly opened my lips to Elgar.

“Um, Elga-nim.”

“Why?”

Elga continued absentmindedly caressing my stomach as if she knew nothing. Then, I finally pulled the trigger.

“Actually, like what Elga-nim said, things aren’t going well with Mirna-nim.”

“What, so I was right! You bastard, you want to die? Hey! Why are you lying!”

Kwok.

“Really, nothing happened.”

“What do you mean?”

“There’s a problem because nothing happened. Nothing, at all, has occurred between Mirna and me.”

“.......”

Elga furrowed her brows, finding my words incomprehensible. Then, she quickly got up, picked up her clothes, and began to dress.

“Fine. If you’re going to keep lying like that, I’m leaving.”

Elga seemed to think that I was lying and looked indignant. Seeing her hastily putting on her clothes, I quickly added.

“No, really, there’s nothing going on. Between the two of us, nothing happens, even when I’m with Mirna-nim. That’s what I’m trying to say.”

Only then did Elga seem to understand.

“So, you mean to say that the two of you aren’t getting along well?”

“You can say that.”

“Pfft.”

“... Elga-nim?”

“Puhahaha-!”

Elga suddenly bursts into laughter. Going to this, laughing like she’s at a top tier comedy show, from being angry astounded me.

“Puhahaha, puhaha, haha-!”

Elga was laughing uncontrollably, and her body was moving so animatedly like a tube man. She would probably keep laughing all day if I leave her be so, I asked, “What’s so funny?”

Then Elga wiped away the tears that had welled up in her eyes and mockingly said.

“Serve’s you right, idiot. You talked big about making a harem but you can’t even bring down that Mirna properly...!”

“.......”
