Taming The Villainesses novel Chapter 228

(EP-228.1) #8

228 – Discovery #8

When I first realized I had become a character in ⊛ Nоvеlιght ⊛ (Read the full story) a novel, my first resolve was to strive to control every variable myself.

If the events that would unfold in the future were to spiral out of my rein, Aira and I would end up hanging on the gallows.

For someone like me, the Guide’s existence was an anomaly in itself.

Had I ever thought ‘what is this bas†ard’ so strongly before?

Perhaps the variables I thought I had under control had, unbeknownst to me, cracks that began to snowball.

As the actions of Aira and I had changed, the actions of the main character’s party must have been altered as well. And somewhere along the way, at some point, the Guide who wasn’t there originally joined the party.

Truly an anomaly...

Literally incomprehensible.

I simply couldn’t tolerate the existence of someone who might be beyond my control.

Thus, I’d been hard at work, trying to find out just what this guy was up to.

First and foremost, I implemented a thorough “isolation.”

Isolating those around me like Mirna and Elga, and especially Aira, from approaching him.

Since I couldn’t predict what might happen with him involved, I preferred to keep my distance and conduct independent investigations—.

Porrreung-.

━Keechip-!

And now, my messenger parrot was saying that Elga and Mirna were heading to the Guide’s house.

I didn’t know the specifics yet, but it didn’t seem like anything good would come out of them getting involved with each other.

Elga going to meet the Guide with Mirna.

What a combination.

I had to admit, it was a huge mistake to bring Elga there.

If Aira hadn’t fallen into a deep coma from which she couldn’t wake up, I wouldn’t have gone looking for him in the first place.

... No, there was no time to think about regrets like this.

Regardless of what happened, I needed to get there faster and block their path.

“Um, Aira-nim. I suddenly remembered an urgent matter. Could I leave for a moment? If you need anything, you can leave it to Lily.”

“An urgent matter?”

Aira, who was on her way, looked at my face with wrinkled brows.

But it seemed that having no more work to do made Aira generous.

“Go ahead. But make sure to come in early tomorrow since it’s the counting day. It would be satisfying to see that Serazade bawl~.”

“Understood.”

I followed the energetic parrot as it flew ahead, running as fast as I could. _{frёeωebɳovel.com}
