Taming The Villainesses - Chapter 38

(EP-38.1) #2

038 – Rival #2

Near the tavern.

In a quiet vacant lot where drunkards slept in thin hides, there were a lot of people gathered, shouting loudly.

Meanwhile, the two participants of a ‘competition’ were lightly warming up inside a makeshift stadium that had been formed.

“I remember the civil war five years ago. Didn’t we smash your Draco Family? Mirna Draco, didn’t you also run away back then?”

“Weren’t you the one who fled? Lioness girl, to think that you can distort even your most humiliating experience. You must have a very bad memory, don’t you?”

“What nonsense are you spouting now?”

After a moderate response, Elga clapped her hands in the air.

Then, between her palms, something like a giant iron pillar began to materialize, which soon took the form of a giant ax halberd.

Zuuuuuo-.

“This has been soaked in Draco’s blood. Even if you surrender and crawl between my legs, I won’t let you go~.”

Pung, pung-.

Elga spun the Halberd from side to side.

Seeing the heavy metal being handled like a chopstick, the observers were greatly surprised and unconsciously took a few steps back.

━Is that a Holy Weapon? Is she a Champion?

━Draco…. And Lioness. They seem to be people from Angmar. Are they the daughters of nobles?

People were slowly figuring out the identities of these two.

At this point, the fight could no longer be stopped…

I was on edge.

If those girls fought and got seriously injured or taken down, it might be a good thing for me, Theo Angmar.

And yet, I was just nervous for some reason.

… It was also true that the thought of Elga getting hurt was starting to creep in. I tried to avoid those kinds of feelings, but it wasn’t easy.

Just then, Elga chuckled.

“Hey, Theo, you will be the referee. You have a lot of experience arbitrating duels, right?”

“Ah, then, let us make Theo Gospel the observer and judge of this duel. The rules of the duel are….”

“Get rid of those frivolous things! Just ring the match bell already!”

Elga already seemed prepared to put her all into this fight. A while ago, she was making cute noises and shaking on the bed, yet the current Elga was like a completely different person.

At this point, I even wondered if what happened before was just my own imagination.

“Then-.”

I raised one hand high.

“Start-.”

And as it descended, Elga kicked off the ground, shooting towards Mirna.

She was very fast, totally unlike a person carrying a heavy ax. The distance between the two of them, which was almost 10m, got reduced in the blink of an eye.

“Goodbye, you id¡ot-!”

Elga swung the Halberd from the lower left to the upper right.

In the midst of numerous cuts, the blood-soaked Holy Weapon ‘Crusher’ sliced through the air with an ominous sound.

If that hit, the small Mirna Draco would be torn in half.

At this moment, a huge figure clad in black robes suddenly appeared and took the strike with their body.

Kwaang-. A sharp metallic noise sounded. They must have been wearing armor underneath.

“You dare block me?”

━…….

Elga seemed angry that her attack was stopped. She gritted her teeth and tightened her body.

“Did you know what would happen if you stopped me?”

Ujijik, chwaaa-

With those words, the body of the black-robed figure that blocked the attack was cut in half, rolling on the floor…

Kung, kung.

━Muu, their body got cut in half!

━Dead? They’re dead, just like that?

Seeing the body in pieces, the crowd shouted loudly and took a few more steps back.

Meanwhile, the faces of Elga and Mirna remained relaxed.

Mirna still had three more black-robed men, while Elga had an indomitable body and a huge halberd.

Jolgeurok. Jobok.

Soon, the two giants quickly approached Elga, each holding a spear and a sword.

“Sending them one by one, so annoying…!”

Being unable to move forward, Elga shouted in anger. Mirna, on the other hand, simply smirked behind her black fan.

“To let your minions do all the dirty work like a coward! Try fighting yourself!”

“Nope~. Alright, now go grab that girl and take the shoes off.”

Two black shadows rushed towards Elga at Mirna’s command.

Of course, Elga quickly swung her halberd as they came within range.

Huung, huung.

Chwaak, chwaaa-.

Elga’s halberd slashed down the heads of black-robed men attacking from her left and right, respectively.

Tolssok. Tolssok.

Their bodies were torn apart, leaving only Mirna and the last man behind. Yet, Mirna remained composed, not even taking a fighting stance.

“Once you go to the underworld, apologize to my ancestors, you wretched ƅitch!”

Huuuang.

Seeing the rushing Elga raise her weapon high, I couldn’t help but shout.

“The last one is not ordinary! Be careful!”

“What?”

“—It’s too late for that~.”

Elga’s halberd was already being thrust down vertically. To suddenly stop it, one would need considerable strength and agility.

Of course, Elga had enough of that strength and agility.

However…

“Heut-!”

Elga suddenly trembled, as if a needle had pierced her.

“Keuu, my waist…!”

With Elga being unable to control her own body, a momentary break was created, allowing the black-robed man standing behind Mirna Draco to grab Elga’s neck.

Kkwaaak.

“Heueuk-!!”

“Your movements are slow, Lioness girl. It looks like you’re bloated from licking Tarantera’s sweet ąss. Especially around that unruly chest~.”

“Keuu, you, bas†ard-!”

Of course, even if there was a slight mistake, Elga had lived through numerous difficult battles since childhood.

Lifting her leg in a very flexible motion, she smashed the black-robed figure’s head.

Paaang-!

With that, Elga was able to escape from the restraint and widened the distance.

“Damn it-. I was just about to crush you. You’re better than I thought… Well, this makes it more fun!”

Rubbing and straightening her neck, Elga’s opponent was reflected in her blue eyes.

Seuk.

Perhaps thanks to Elga’s kick, the black robe came off. At the same time, people began to gasp and started panicking.

━What in the world is that!?

━Is it… a skeleton…?

━No way, a walking corpse…?

That was right.

Seeing this, people finally realized the identity of the black-robed figures. All of Mirna Draco’s dragoons were undead!

They were living corpses…

And among them, the one that exuded the most sinister aura was a blue-eyed undead who survived to the very end.

━Bun’ yeuk’s An’ ha. Ket’v Jee.

When the blue-eyed undead opened his mouth and uttered a spell, the corpses that had just been cut down by Elga reattached themselves and rose up.

Eudeuk. Eudeuk. Ujijik. Ujok.

━Undead… They are summoned undead?

━Is that an Eldritch…? A high-ranking mage or necromancer that becomes undead….

Seeing this, Elga spat on the floor.

“Fųcking disgusting Draco bas†ards! Now I get it. Is that your father, Mirna Draco? You psychopathic ƅitch who made her own father work as an undead!!”

“…….”

Mirna Draco didn’t answer. A frown gradually appeared on her face, as if the previous cool expression was a lie.

Just like Aira, the contrast between the beautiful Mirna’s angry and normal demeanor was plain to see.

Somehow, the atmosphere became even more chilling…

Yet, Elga continued to shout, as if she didn’t care.

“Aleister Draco-. That nightmarish necromancer has now become a Lich, being manipulated by his heartless daughter! How hilarious!!”

“Shut up…!”

“You don’t even let your father, who was devoted to his family, rest in death? Aren’t you one naughty girl, milking your own parents for all their worth? As a filial daughter, I just find this unimaginable!!”

“I told you to shut up…!”

Elga continued to carry out rather venomous provocations.

She was definitely trying to buy time, especially when Elga herself knew that she wasn’t in the best of conditions and needed to recover.

Gurgling.

No one might have noticed, but I could see a constant stream of white fluid running down Elga’s calf…

“…….”

(EP-38.2) #2

038 – Rival #2

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!
