Taming The Villainesses novel Chapter 222

(EP-222.2) #2

222 – Discovery #2

The outdoor toilets and sinks were terrible, riddled with mayflies and a bunch of other bugs.

In particular, the mosquitoes were buzzing with excitement, so I had to walk to the outdoor sink of the well-equipped Platinum Dormitory.

It was while I was washing my hands and face at the outdoor sink of the Platinum Dormitory.

Kuk-.

That I felt a sudden poke on the side.

“Hieeek...!”

Perhaps even the cat, who suddenly saw the cucumber beside it, was less surprised than I was.

Anyway, I was so startled that I sprayed the rinse-water I had in my mouth like a water cannon. The problem was that Mirna Draco was the target of fire, causing her hair to get soaked...

“Kkyak-!”

“Ah, Mirna-nim, I’m really sorry. It’s just the poke startled me....”

“... Don’t remind me. Anyway, why were you so surprised? You’re like a criminal that just got caught.”

Ssukssuksuk-.

Mirna elegantly pulled out a handkerchief. I didn’t know what kind of enchanted handkerchief it was, but her damp hair and face now looked fresh and tidy.

It was amazing.

“Did Mirna-nim come to wash up too?”

“No, I have come to talk to you, Theo Gospel. We seldom have the chance to be alone together.”

“Ah.”

“First of all, is your body okay? I heard from Narmi that there was something wrong with your body.”

Seuk-.

Mirna touched my face with her hand and checked all around.

“Nevertheless, you seem relatively fine. I was a bit worried since you got up late.”

“Thanks for caring, it helps. So, Miss Mirna, what is it you wish to tell me...?”

“Ehem, I don’t really know the details of what happened. But I hope you’ll hear it without any misunderstanding.”

Ssukssuk-.

Mirna looked around as if she were wary of someone listening. Then, she gently grabbed my collar with her fingertips.

“Someone could be listening here. Let’s go somewhere quieter.”

“A quieter place?”

I didn’t know what she wanted to talk about. But Mirna wasn’t one to usually beat around the bush, so I was half-nervous, half-excited.

Was she going to kiss me?

Perhaps it was the alcohol, but Mirna’s face looked slightly flushed, like a shy new bride.

Perhaps I was simply being optimistic here...

Finally, as we entered an empty grove, I heard an astonishing story from Mirna.

“I think there is something wrong with Lady Lioness.”

“Lady Elga? Something wrong?”

“That’s right, Theo Gospel. Didn’t you feel anything strange?”

Did I not feel anything strange?
