Taming The Villainesses - Chapter 31

(EP-31.1) Academy Spring Season #6

031 – Heart-Opening Academy Spring Season #6

Aira was hiding a deadly truth…

That one single sentence shocked me to the core.

What the hell was Aira hiding?

Never before had I felt that Aira was keeping a secret or deceiving me. On the contrary, I had hidden a lot from her…

Could the Status Window be lying to me?

No, that was not possible.

The Status Window wouldn’t lie. It just simply ‘state the facts’. It was a System designed to be like that.

This was pretty much an unchanging truth.

After all, the same thing happened in the original novel.

“Uh-hmm.”

Suddenly, Aira tossed and turned while making a strange noise.

I was terrified! She might have caught me looking at her stats!

“…….”

But, as if it was a lie, Aira once again returned to her deep slumber.

Seeing this, I finally breathed a sigh of relief. For now, I decided to focus on what I could figure out first.

First of all, this was what bothered me the second most.

「Talent 《Tarantera》: In the Age of aloof Gods and Fairies, a Saintess calmed the wrath of the great spider, and in return was bestowed with a blessing.

Her senses became as sharp as a spider and her ability to see through lies and deceits greatly improved. She also gained an exceptional talent for architecture, art, management and finances.」

This was definitely a great talent.

And it could greatly improve the ability to see through lies and deceits?

Perhaps, it was because of this talent that Aira despised and kept away from the hypocrites inside the Court?

But then, didn’t that also mean that the lies I’d been telling her were exposed?

Maybe my job ‘Actor’ somehow kept them hidden from Aira?

Anyway…

As expected, Aira was incredible.

No wonder why the Villain Hunter Party in the novel couldn’t defeat Aira directly.

It was only when the vicious wave of the masses swelled up that Aira was defeated.

I imagined a lasso around that white porcelain neck.

Then, in the midst of everyone’s angry murmuring, Aira had to wear a sarcastic nameplate around her neck that read ‘The Great Queen of Angmar’….

━Sinner, Aira. Death penalty-!

Finally, she was made to stand on a chair, before struggling like a stringed doll being manipulated by the puppeteer…

“…….”

I didn’t want to witness such a sight.

So, I would not allow that to happen.

* * *

After coming out of Aira’s room, I could feel cold sweat running down my body.

It was chilling… My heart couldn’t stop beating wildly…. I felt like a butterfly escaping from the spider’s web.

Perhaps, I had learned something I shouldn’t have…

And even though I didn’t really find out much, that was how I felt right now.

“Huuu-.”

I took a deep breath and calmed myself down.

Seuseuseutsseu-.

Then, as if nothing happened, peace was restored within me.

If it wasn’t for my talent《Calm Thinking》, I might have already died when I was still a slave.

So, what should I do now?

I thought about my next course of action.

Tonight was the first evening in Gracia.

After unpacking and completing the formalities, I had nothing to do.

If Marmar was around, I would have asked more about the Status Window, the System, and the Demon King Angmar.

‘Guess I’ll just go to sleep’.

As mentioned earlier, I was weak.

My mental strength might indeed be strong, which I was proud of, but my body got tired easily. Thus, I should take a break if given the chance.

Who knew when I would be able to have an opportunity like this again.

“No, me relaxing?”

This thought was kind of funny.

‘Relax’ was the word that didn’t suit me at all. Did I even have the time for that? Whenever I tried to rest comfortably, it would feel like I was committing a sin.

After all, I was a workaholic.

However, I did know that without rest, a person would eventually break.

In that sense, I should sleep after comforting my brother.

Thinking about the breast sucking session from earlier, I might be able to hit it three times in a row. No… maybe up to four times! For some reason, it seemed possible!

「What a ǀewd idea!

Gained job experience for ‘Casanova’. + 5」

I actually gained some experience! If I [email protected], would it go even higher?

Whoooo-.

The wind suddenly blew on my face.

While wondering where the wind came from, I looked around and discovered that there was an interior garden made squarely inside the corridor of the hall.

The garden had an open ceiling where the moonlight beautifully cascaded down and illuminated the trees.

The holy vibes quickly wiped away my ǀewd thoughts.

“That’s cool…”

Suddenly, I was reminded of the fact that this was a foreign country.

Couldn’t I say that I had traveled abroad?

Though, it didn’t feel that exciting…

“Are you lost?”

Someone then spoke from behind me.

Even with my sensitive Half-Fairy’s senses, I didn’t feel anything prior!

Startled, I quickly turned around and saw someone approaching me with sharp footsteps.

Upon seeing who it was, I got even more surprised.

Because this was someone unexpected.

“It is easy for first-time visitors to get lost here. Like a sheep that doesn’t know where to go, a shepherd has to guide them around.”

“Ah-.”

She wore a long white cloth on her head like Marmar.

Her nun’s robe was spotless and luxurious. Around her neck was a long sash that stretched from her shoulder to chest and hung on both sides of her knees.

“Isn’t that right?”

The woman then brought forth a lamp.

This allowed me to take a closer look at her. Under the lamp’s illumination, I could see something like a black band covering her eyes.

Which could only mean that she was blind.

A blind woman in some luxurious nun’s uniform, wandering the Great Hall of the Church’s main headquarters.

A combination of these three clues flashed in my head, and one existence with an enormous status in the church came to mind…

“Are you, by any chance, Saintess Priga? It is an honor to meet you like this!”

I hurriedly bowed my head.

I wondered if it made sense to bow to a blind nun, but my body instinctively reacted and moved before I could think further.

“Raise your head. I haven’t even introduced myself yet. As expected from someone called a Demon Monk~.”

Huhuhu~ The Saintess chuckled with a very gentle and friendly tone.

I was surprised too.

I hadn’t even introduced who I was, so how did she know I was Theo Gospel?

After all, the title ‘Demon Monk’ could only mean me…

Just then, the woman suddenly reached out with her slender hand and started touching my face and shoulder.

What was going on!?

031 – Heart-Opening Academy Spring Season #6

Was I being s£xually harassed? But it didn’t seem so.

“Hmm- You’re smaller and thinner than I thought. And you don’t have a beard either. I always thought that you would be a tall, muscular man….”

“… The rumors about me seem to have reached far from the Angmar Kingdom.”

Since the Saintess was already touching me, I took the opportunity to scan her from top to bottom.

A Half-Fairy’s eyes were quicker than normal people’s. In other words, it was a fairy’s latent talent – Fairy Eyes.

─Oh hoh?

After examining the Saintess through the Fairy Eyes, I was surprised by what I saw.

Although mostly shrouded by a head cloth, her beautiful pink hair looked luscious.

And contrasting the black blindfold she wore was her pale white skin-.

Her voluptuous and curvaceous body was completely covered by the nun uniform.

All in all, she was exuding the word ‘beauty’ all over.

I guess you could say her whole body was screaming, ‘I am beautiful!’

She carried a unique charisma and was rumored to be as beautiful as Aira.

This woman was Saintess Priga.

She later became the final raid boss of the Villain Hunter Party….

Looking at her, it was hard to imagine this woman changing for the worse.

The Saintess then said.

“It’s surprising that you are so different from what I imagined. Are you a Nymph? No, I don’t know of any male Nymphs.”

“I am part nymph, a Half-Nymph.”

“Then what about the other half?”

“It’s Human….”

“Fufu, rumors don’t seem to be reliable, then.”

Saintess Priga smiled lightly and touched me.

“The prodigal monster, the Demon Monk-. I was actually expecting something more because of such a nickname. And for the thing between your legs to be as long as a ruler… Ah, pardon me-.”

“…….”

I sweated upon hearing what the Saintess had just said unfiltered.

Was it okay to gossip right in front of your target like this?

She really had a lot of nerves.

But then again, she wouldn’t have been able to get on top of the vastly influential church otherwise.

“Sir Gospel, are you not going to ask me anything?”

Suddenly, the Saintess asked me a question.

“Can I? Hmmm, I heard that the Saintess entered a prayer vigil and had no spare time. So, I wonder what brought you here?”

“Ding- Humans are bound to break down if they don’t rest. That’s just how we are created.”

“Ahh… indeed….”

The manner of speech was totally different compared to the Saintess who would later become a raid boss.

She even said, ‘Ding-.’ She was more human than I thought…

Well, according to the original story, the Saintess was said to be a very good person in the first place.

Perhaps, because such a Saintess fell to the depths of the abyss and became a raid boss, the development was naturally affected.

At this time, the Saintess waved a lantern with dangling bells and snapped me out of my thoughts.

“By the way, this lamp’s purpose is to avoid people bumping into me. I’m used to the dark because I can’t see, but most people aren’t. You were curious, right?”

“I see. Indeed, you are even wiser than the rumors. The Saintess is truly the beacon of the church!”

She covered her lips with her slender hands and chuckled. She was laughing more often than expected.

“You are good at flattering women, Sir Gospel. It’s a meaningless compliment to me, but it still feels good. Then, in return, I’ll guide you to your bedroom.”

“That’s really, really embarrassing…”

I felt uncomfortable being accompanied by the Saintess herself.

For some reason, it might be better to keep my distance from this woman.

On the subject of not being able to see.

Strangely, her gaze from those blindfolded eyes seemed to pierce through everything. Just to make sure, I even raised my hand and waved it from side to side in front of the Saintess.

Seukseuk-.

However, there was no response.

It appeared that she really couldn’t see.

Maybe I was just being paranoid…

… Then again, how did she know that it was me?

And that I was a Half-Nymph?

Could she detect things like mana and chakras?

Or, did she have a talent for sensing things like Aira?

In fact, she was walking around with such confidence that it was hard to believe she was blind.

“We’re here. This should be your room. This was where Bishop Gregory once stayed. It’s a good room to meditate in, for it is very tranquil and quiet.”

“Very tranquil and quiet…”

“It’s a room where even if someone dies screaming, nothing will be heard!”

“…….”

“Just kidding~. All kinds of violence are prohibited in the temple.”

… What kind of bloody joke was that?

But for me, I was like, “Yes, thank you for the guidance”. I had no choice but to say that in return.

“Then have a good night. Please keep it a secret that I played hooky today!”

“Okay.”

The Saintess then began walking away, filling the corridor with the sound of her shoes.

I looked at her departing back.

But just as I was about to activate my talent《Farsight》on her…

The Saintess suddenly halted and looked back at me.

“By the way, Sir Gospel. There are some things in this world that you shouldn’t see. In my case, I am unable to see with my eyes, so I can’t look even if I want to-.”

It was dark, so I couldn’t see her face. But for some reason, I got goosebumps all over my body, as if her eyes were staring at me through the black blindfold…

“….….”

Before I could give an answer, the Saintess said.

“I meant that there are Bishop Gregory’s personal belongings in the room, so please don’t touch them. Then, have a good night again~.”

With that, she completely disappeared.

Almost like a passing gust of wind…

Saintess Priga.

She was a different type of woman compared to Aira, the type that I couldn’t figure out.

If possible, I would rather not get involved with her.

I didn’t want to add another variable that I couldn’t control.

After all, just Aira and Elga were already enough to overwhelm me…
