Taming The Villainesses

Elga couldn’t move properly because of the strange feeling in her lower abdomen.

Was it my fault?

… Was it because of my cuɱ?

If Elga got killed by Mirna due to that baffling reason, I would definitely feel guilty…

Also, this fight must end.

I knew it was terribly rude to have a third party interrupt during a duel, but I couldn’t help it. Also, was I not the authorized arbiter of this duel?

Seueuk.

So I approached the two and put some distance between them.

“As the judge, I request that we stop this duel. If this situation escalates any further, it will cause international troubles and stain the names of Angmar as well as Her Majesty.”

Foreign affairs, Angmar state status and Her Majesty the Queen.

I knew well that these two couldn’t be stopped with just these keywords. However, I had no choice but to rely on my acting and tutoring skills.

“… What is this, Theo Gospel? Are you interfering with the duel now!?”

Unsurprisingly, Elga fired shots at me. Hearing her harsh words, I could feel my cheeks tingle.

Mirna Draco also angrily chop-folded her black fan.

“How dare you intervene in the affairs of the great families? How insulting, Theo Gospel. Insulting I say, humiliating even!”

Seriously…

I was saving your life right now. If you kept on fighting here, one of you would really die!

Of course, this complaint of mine could not be made out loud.

Suddenly, I felt a gaze being directed at me. The culprit, to my surprise, was none other than the blue-eyed, grey-haired Lich, Aleister Draco.

━……….

Those empty blue eyes seemed to be reading my soul. Well, they weren’t actual ‘eyes’, but still…

Anyway, the blue lights looked as if they contained some kind of intelligence or will.

Was that possible? As far as I knew, the necromancer’s undead were just puppets.

Thanks to this, the tension was intensified…

Seueuk.

… Until the blue-eyed skeleton turned around and left.

━Bul’ue yakk.

“… Uh, where are you going?”

As if she had not anticipated such a move, Mirna Draco was terribly perplexed.

“Do not go! Come back! We’re not stopping the duel! It’s not over yet! Follow my orders! Come on!”

Mirna grabbed her father’s remains and tried to pull on it, but the blue-eyed Lich continued walking away as if it had already lost the will to fight. The crowd soon split in two to let it pass through.

“What, are you running away? Cowardly bas†ards! You’re really fleeing with your tail between your legs?”

Elga shouted more provocations, but the Lich simply left without regard to her taunts or Mirna’s persuasion.

In the end, only Mirna remained.

Trembling like a cat doused in cold water, Mirna then pointed to Elga with the tip of her fan.

“This is it for today! But as long as you’re in this city, you’d better not sleep too comfortably, Lioness girl!”

Surprisingly, she pointed her fan at me as well.

“And you…! Theo Gospel, I will never forget the humiliation that happened today!”

With that, Mirna Draco also followed the footsteps of the skeleton. It was not long before they both disappeared from our sight.

Huuu-.

It was only then that the weight in my chest was lifted, saving my heart from exploding. Mirna Draco, that girl was the very model of a Villainess…

I thought about taking a look at her stats or features, but couldn’t find an opportunity to do so.

“Hey, Theo. Why did you do something useless like that!?”

Suddenly, Elga smacked the back of my head.

Thud.

My eyes grew stars and a scream naturally popped out of my mouth.

“Hieek…!”

「What a very nymphic scream…!

Gained job experience for ‘Half-Fairy’….! +50」

「You are rewarded for your continued nymph-friendly actions…!

Job: Half-Fairy +1 Level

Half-Fairy Lv. 4 → Lv. 5

You can now do more nymph-friendly things…!」

I wiped away the tears that flowed down before waving away the prompts.

Just then, Elga grabbed my collar and lifted me into the air, making me choke with my legs trembling.

“Who told you to intervene!? Why did you do something you hadn’t been told to do!?”

Elga looked very angry…

However, it was understandable. After all, having a third party interfering with a duel was much more severe than someone suddenly knocking on the door while you were watching your good ol’ AV’s.

“And what was that earlier warning for? Who asked you to let me know it was dangerous? Huh? Did you think I would lose to Mirna Draco without your help!?”

“But, I didn’t want to see Elga-nim get hurt, even the slightest wound…”

“… What are you talking about, that’s completely ridiculous.”

Only then did Elga lower me to the ground. She might speak confidently, but Elga herself definitely wasn’t certain of the outcome, especially with her current state.

After all, Elga knew her own physical condition best.

Moreover, the Lich that Mirna Draco commanded was the former head of the Draco family instead of an ordinary undead.

“Heung.”

Elga put an Enchanting Herb Cigar in her mouth from who-knows-where. And yet, after making a gentle eye contact with me, she returned the cigarette back inside her chest. Turning her head around, Elga said.

“Those Draco bas†ards, I didn’t know that they were here. It looked like she was also wearing a school uniform. Is she a student of Ark?”

“It seems so, since the Draco family is friendly with the Church.”

When it came to dealing with the undead, there was a notion that such a group would not be a part of the faith. But surprisingly, members of the Draco Family were devout followers of the Light and Salt Church.

This was because the existence of the undead, monsters and magic is a good representation of the existence and miracles of God. I remembered it was such a setting.

Elga then asked.

“Are you saying that if I go to Ark, I will have to face her every day?”

“No, you will not. Lectures are self-selected, so if your schedule does not overlap, there will be no chance of meeting her even in the same grade. Anyway, do you have any injuries?”

I looked at Elga. On the surface, there seemed to be no problem.

… But the thing that was dripping down between her thighs continued to bother me.

I took a handkerchief from my pocket and gave it to Elga.

Realizing the situation, Elga fiercely blushed and said, “I’ll be away for a while, wait a bit”, before finally disappearing.

Looking at the spot where the blonde Young Lady once stood, I realized that a lot had changed.

Tarantera, Lioness and Draco.

There were three important figures of big families in this city that posed a danger to me.

I didn’t expect this to happen…

My stomach was hurting a little.

This was kind of a crisis.

… But, at the same time, maybe this could be seen as a golden opportunity to defeat my enemies and bring about the revival of my family!

A strong will began to spring up from my lower body.

Right now, I was holding my breath as Theo Gospel, not Angmar, but I would definitely tame these Villainesses and bend them to my will!
