The Villainess With A Heroine Harem

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Although Emilia never really listened to her manager while acting as 'Little Emi', Penny's arrival as her 'assistant' still made many things infinitely more convenient.

For example, now she could openly visit Noelle and Sam, and even if someone from the Gray Wolfe, the Nightingale clan, or the government of Carmen happened to hear about it, it was unlikely to lead to any major mishaps.

If anything, they would only think that was Penny using her connections to try and promote 'Little Emi', and not some other grand conspiracy.

Not to mention, with the knight commander's physical presence in Carmen, their strength and cohesion could no longer be underestimated.

Using the newly established secret channels of the White Deer Corporation, they were now able to freely communicate and coordinate with each other at a higher level, though the newest of 'recruits' still remained in the dark as a precaution.

The ease with which Emilia could now incite a rebellion in Carmen left even her stunned silly, but she soon shook off that impulse. After all, haste makes waste.

Even if she managed to spark a fire now, it wouldn't take much effort for her opponents to put it out. It was better to dry out this 'forest' first, and then turn it to ashes in one fell swoop.

Her end goal wasn't just to cause chaos, after all, that was only her means.

Of course, Penny's assistance wasn't without its disadvantages either, as the ponytailed girl's courage seemed to have shot through the roof the moment she discovered that she no longer needed to tilt her head up to look into Emilia's eyes.

​ In fact, it was a wonder that she hadn't already exposed her identity with how enthusiastic she had been ever since her arrival.historical

"Emi! Emi! Come here, your big sister's lap is definitely more comfortable than those synthetic seats!"

Naturally, Penny didn't think she was overreacting at all.

Who could have thought that one day she would have the chance to not only have a 'pet name' for her princess, but even 'righteously' ask her for cuddles like this? It would be stranger if she wasn't excited!

Since Emilia wasn't one to limit herself needlessly, she only thought about it for a moment before shuffling over. While Penny's lap was indeed not very spacious, the girl's soft body was still superior to the car seat by far.

Despite Emilia now being in a noticeably less gorgeous form than her original body, just knowing her real identity, Penny couldn't help but be giddy. 'Every dog has its day, not to mention that I'm not a dog! Though I very much wish I was so I could use my long tongue to slobber all over my princess, ahh!'

If only that stupid Dixie could see her now—!

On second thought, that was probably a bad idea.

She coughed. 'P-Precious memories like this must remain private, after all.'

It's not like she was scared of Dixie. She was just afraid she wouldn't be able to chase after her princess after all her bones were broken.

Besides, since she now knew Emilia could change how she looked, wouldn't it be impossible for her to find her princess if she lost sight of her for even a second?

If she could, Penny would definitely permanently glue Emilia to her own body so she could never be lost the moment she was told such a thing.

But that would probably make her princess unhappy, right? If she refused to switch back to her breathtakingly gorgeous form because of that, wouldn't it be too late for regret then?

Penny didn't think a world without that beauty was worth living in, at all. She would rather take her chances to go to heaven and stare at the angels, instead. Though they would definitely be uglier than her princess, beggars can't be choosers.

Of course, such a dark future only existed in the worst of her nightmares, and Penny was determined to never let it turn into reality.

To be completely honest, she still didn't quite understand how her princess being able to transform into a little girl worked. But since she heard it from Emilia herself, there was no need to doubt that it was a fact. That was all she needed to know.

Even if her princess wasn't a human, but a fairy instead, Penny didn't feel like there was too much of an issue. If anything, it would be great if Emilia turned out to secretly have some wings!

In fact, if she could have a feather or two for her collection, Penny felt like she might just die from overdose of happiness.

Boldly wrapping her arms around Emi's waist, the ponytailed blonde couldn't help but sigh happily. 'Whoever designed this dress that bared her belly, thank you very much!'

Meanwhile, the crimson-haired girl was too busy chatting with Sam over the phone to notice anything wrong. 'Big sister is such a baby, really.'

Cynthia couldn't help but nod. "That's why you shouldn't indulge her so much, you know? If she gets spoiled, wouldn't it be even more troublesome?"

Emilia giggled. 'But when she acts like a baby… it's adorable, isn't it?'

"… I give up."

As for Penny's heavy breathing brushing by her partner's ears, the raven-haired girl naturally didn't notice either.

After all, she had long since started viewing the ponytailed girl as a particularly malfunctioning monkey in heat, and since her partner refused to dispose of it, the less she thought about it, the better.

Of course, the manager could still see through the rear-view mirror that something wasn't quite right with how Penny held Emi, especially with her strange expression and glassy eyes. 'She wouldn't…? Nah, no way… what nonsense am I thinking?'

She quickly denied her absurd thoughts and focused back on the road. 'It must be because Emi has been driving me crazy.'

Although Penny might be short and only nineteen, she was still much older than Emi. Her behavior was strange sometimes, sure, but there was no way that someone directly associated with her princess could be a pervert!
