Taming The Villainesses

(EP-155.2) Aspect #8

155 – New Aspect #8

After contemplating for a while, Aira finally said.

“I will invade Elga’s territory, Sardena. Then, I will destroy Elga’s hotel and seize the land documents.”

Watching this, Elga sighed.

“Aira, this is a game about building inns and hotels in your own territory. It’s not about invading someone else’s land, you know?”

“Then let’s add that rule from now on. I am the Queen~.”

“In this game, you are a Lord, not a Queen. Hey Theo, is this really okay?”

Elga looked at me, probably tired of Aira’s antics.

“Can you put up such a rule?”

Of course, I just shrugged my shoulders. I didn’t know when the dice-rolling game of Red Marble turned into land invasions and stealing territories.

“Then I will also lead my troops into Lioness territory and riddle it with dragon flags!”

“Hey, are you guys playing the same game as I am? Did I misunderstand the rules?”

The first game I made as the court entertainer seemed well-received by the girls.

It was a game I quickly put together to encourage them to get along and stop bickering on the table.

Of course, I didn’t actually make the game. It was just a board game of the 21st century that I simply adapted to this world’s version.

People tended to have similar tastes, so already popular games would naturally receive a great response.

“How did you make something like this in just a few minutes? It’s amazing.”

Elga clicked her tongue as she sorted the game currency. I did feel a bit guilty for repurposing other people’s ideas as my own, but at this point, I was past feeling much about it.

I had already told many lies, so I was kinda immune to it by now.

Then Aira, who had conquered all the territories and won the game, said.

“But of course, as he is the court entertainer that I chose. Theo, try to think of one of these games each week from now on. It would be great if we could do them during tea time lectures when everyone gathers.”

Think of a new game each week.

That was quite demanding…

Fortunately, during my time in the orphanage, I played a lot of board games with the kids. If I used all of those, I could probably make them last for at least a few weeks.

Then I suddenly had a fleeting thought. If I had been a regular person in this world, couldn’t I have used this modern knowledge to become wealthy and live a comfortable life!?

━That’s why refrigerators and computers are great. Air conditioning is also a must-have. At least one would need a fan in the house.

━How amazing! So, how do you make those refrigerators, computers, and electricity?

━Well…

I didn’t know about science or engineering, but there were still things I could use like board games.

In this world, where computers didn’t exist, advanced board games from modern society would undoubtedly be stimulating and fun for the citizens, making them quite popular.

What a pity…

Then Aira continued.

“As expected, my judgment in choosing Theo as the court entertainer is the correct one. Also, Theo, I hope you’ll make an equally fitting choice for my champion.”

Seureuk.

Aira then got up from her chair.

Seeing this, Elga asked.

“Hey, where are you going?”

“It’s nap time.”

Aira was the first to leave. Like she said, it looked like she was going to have her nap.

Elga curiously showed her puzzlement, “Why does she sleep so much?” But she didn’t try to stop Aira or anything like that.

In the end, the only ones left on the table were me, Mirna, and Elga. When Aira’s figure could no longer be seen, Elga moved to my side.

“Hey, should we also get up?”

Then she grabbed my arm and stuck closer. With Elga’s rather generous chest, my arm naturally nestled between her deep cleavage.

Boing, boing.

The sensation of her breasts pressing against my arm was unexpectedly plush, soft and warm. It caught me by surprise. Seeing this, Mirna angrily exclaimed.

“Aren’t you sticking too close? How shameless!”

“What are you talking about? No one’s stopping you from doing the same.”

“If you think that I’m an immodest woman like you, then you are mistaken, Lady Lioness!”

“Hmm, is that so~?”

Seuk.

At that moment, I could feel Elga’s lips touching my ear. Our heads were so close, I could smell her signature apple-like scent.

Elga leaned in and whispered into my sensitive Half-Fairy ear.

“Hey, who are you going to pick as the champion? If you’re having a hard time, you can just choose me. And, if I keep whispering like this, Mirna will get mad. Look, she’s about to burst. In five, four-. three-.”

Before I could answer, Mirna exasperatedly shouted.

“What are you two talking about? Stop it right now! Whispering like this in the middle of the day! This is blasphemous!”

Mirna seemed unable to take it anymore and grabbed my other arm from the opposite side. As a result, I was caught between them, fully feeling the discomfort of being pulled apart.

“Euiek…!”

It reminded me of my younger years when my little sisters would tug at the doll they both liked at opposite ends. The tearing brought back a vivid memory. Surprisingly, it was Elga who was the first one to let go.

Seureureuk.

“Eoeot.”

“Kkyak-!”

Thanks to that, I found myself naturally nestled into Mirna’s arms due to inertia. Though Mirna’s arms weren’t as plush as Elga’s, there was still a soft, warm and pleasant scent.

Was that Elga’s intention?

So that I ended up in Mirna’s embrace?

“Ahem, Theo Gospel. You can get off now…”

Mirna pushed me away, seemingly embarrassed. Meanwhile Elga just snorted, “Hmph-. What’s this? Look at you, pretending and all.”

After giving Elga a fleeting glance, Mirna unfolded her fan and covered her flushed face.

“Well then, let’s disperse for now. And Lady Lioness, I have something to discuss with you.”

“You want to talk to me?”

With that, Elga and Mirna left their seats and disappeared into the distance. Having been left alone, I decided to also leave the upscale restaurant and gathered my thoughts about the events of the day.

Just then, someone came straight up to me.

“Theo Gospel.”

For a moment, I felt a slight tension, thinking that it was a group of assailants coming to attack me. But I soon spotted the long ears sticking out from purple hair.

“Professor Stella.”

“I have something to tell you about this-.”

‘I see.’

I knew she’d approach me first.

“You’ll naturally choose me as your champion, right? We’re friends, right?”

Professor Stella was now appealing her friendship with me. It was amusing that she assumed I would ‘naturally’ consider her.

But, this was also a good opportunity.

A chance to turn the tables against her.

Was there any better opportunities than this to wipe off Stella’s arrogance and get my family’s revenge?

Thinking of this, I supposed the Hunter attacking the Queen wasn’t so bad after all.

“Professor Stella, let’s go over there and have a chat, shall we~?”
