Rehabilitate the Villainess chapter 41

41 – The Villainess Walks Happily

Shael’s gaze went elsewhere for a while. As soon as he confirmed this, he prepared the magic.

When Shael held loose on her recipe, she was thinking of pushing the sea water hard.

She, of course, even now she’s been holding on to the recipe, but ⋯⋯ I’m sure there will be a chance.

But before that, Shael looked at me.

“⋯⋯ What are you doing?”

“⋯No.”

She quickly reaped the magic she had prepared. Only at times like this is she quick-witted. Thanks to her, she missed her chance.

After she was forced to finish her catfish viewing, she followed Kayla, who started walking.

To make sure Kayla isn’t tired, she walks along the beach just enough to submerge her thighs.

It was obvious that the villainess with poor physical strength would struggle in her water.

Before long, her stamina will run out. However, the wicked woman’s patience ran out before her physical strength.

Shael looked bored. She went on and on, because nothing happened and she walked in the sea.

And I was next to Shael.

To the villainess, I was a high-performance toy to relieve stress.

I feel uneasy for no reason. In response, she checked Shael’s side through vision magic.

Shael secretly prepared her magic circle. She said, and as if she wasn’t doing anything, she was walking in the sea naturally.

Then Shael used her magic.

The sea water is starting to get a little hotter.

Are you kidding me?

Fortunately, she didn’t use magic that the villainess would affect Kayla.

Did you have a minimum of conscience left?

No, if Kayla hadn’t been an excellent cook, Kayla might have suffered from the wicked woman’s wickedness.

Anyway, the villainess only made the sea water around me hot.

It was the beach of Pahebrus where the warm climate continued. Fortunately, it was cool in the sea, but…

Not anymore. It was because of the witch’s magic. It wasn’t hot enough to kill me, but it was hot enough to drive me crazy.

I started thinking of a way to get revenge on her villain.

You can make the hot water cool again, or conversely, you can make the sea water around the villainess hot, but…

In the first place, several magic circles were being prepared for Shael. It was a kind of magic circle related to ice.

It was clear that the villainess was preparing for my attack in advance.

The way I chose to see this was different.

Shael is walking fast to avoid touching the hot water around me. She quickly caught up with Shael.

Then he took Shael’s hand. To make sure she doesn’t let the wicked woman run away.

“⋯⋯Now, what⋯!”

“Why is that?”

Shael glared at me as if to let go of my question. But I couldn’t let it go.

Because the villainess also had to suffer from hot water.

“You’re engaged, so what are you doing with holding hands?”

“⋯⋯ Ha.”

Shael sighs and prepares the ice magic circle.

The reason must have been to return the heated sea water to normal.

However, after thinking for a while, Shael erased her magic circle. She then looked at me and grinned.

A devilish smile.

Its meaning was simple. It means you die and I die.

“⋯.”

‘⋯.”

I walked in the hot sea in silence. It was fortunate that it was not hot enough to cause burns.

But it was too hot.

So it was only natural that Sael and I would turn red.

I don’t know what the hell this is all about. Are we stupid?

But I kept walking.

The one who can’t stand it first and returns the temperature of the water is the loser. It was because Sael seemed to think so.

If she uses magic ⋯ the villain will think she has won. So it was bearable.

It was then that I heard Kayla’s words.

“⋯⋯Sister, your face is red! Is it because you held her hand with your brother?”

At that, Shael quickly withdrew her hand. So was her magic.

To give in so easily? She was not like a persistent villain.

But she seemed too hot to be a villainess, so she just let her go without saying a word.

She walked like that for a while.

Shael was gradually getting tired. The reason was her magic, which she had just used.

She said her stamina was not good in the first place.

“Kayla, would you like to get some rest?”

“⋯ Oh, just a little more!”

Kayla walks like that for a while longer.

Plop!

Kyla suddenly submerged.

She was taken aback by the sudden action, but Kyla, who seemed to have found something, slipped away again.

What, did you find a pretty conch? He was a pure child.

She said, laughing as if Kayla was satisfied.

“Let’s go to the teleportation center now!”

“⋯Already?”

At first, she nodded. The time Kayla said was approaching.

Actually, I’d like to stay longer, but it was only natural that it would be a nuisance to Kayla’s parents.

She headed to the beachside teleportation station and returned to the Azbelga teleportation station.

Kayla turned her head to Shael.

“See you later⋯!”

And while doing so, Kayla is embraced by Shael. There was no way the villain with her bad personality would accept this.

But Shael didn’t push Kayla away.

Shael frowned, but she had an expression as if she had a good idea.

It was clear that he was going to entice Kayla to come to the Azbel family’s mansion one day.

Then Kayla looked at me. Kayla hugged me and handed her a small box.

“Is this…?”

“A gift!”

It was not an ordinary gift. A tremendous amount of magical power was felt from the small box.

Before Kayla handed it to her, it was a magic that she hadn’t felt before.

Sense of something strange, I immediately opened the box.

Then what I saw was a golden pearl.

I immediately turned my head towards Kayla. But the Kayla in front of me had disappeared.

I asked Shael.

“⋯Kayla. Where has Kayla gone?”

“⋯⋯I want to ask you that?”

Fortunately, I was able to find traces of using magic. Checking Kayla’s magical power, she hurriedly spoke to Shael.

“Let’s go to the mansion first.”

Then Shael nodded and went to the teleportation magic circle to the mansion.

The reason seemed to be that I wanted to cook the recipe quickly.

After confirming that Sael had passed into the mansion, I immediately turned around and started running.

We must find Kayla. The pearl Kayla gave me was the reason.

A romance fantasy novel with no probability that the male protagonists have strange personalities and the female protagonist just coughs and everything is resolved.

But most readers didn’t really care. Because it was all about fun.

So there were a lot of things with settings that made no sense at all. One of them was a golden pearl to be found on the beach of Fahebrus.

A pearl that allows you to travel to the past at any point in time for 3 days. In other words, it was an incredibly fraudulent thing.

In the original novel, the only person who would use such fraudulent things was, of course, only the main character, Clie.

But now it was in my hands. I’m sure it’s because I see a lot of magical power flowing out of it.

This pearl is exactly what I was thinking of in the novel.

And it was Kayla who gave me this pearl.

A question popped into my head.

He has the same hair color as Sael, and incredible strength for a five-year-old.

The ferocious beast even became tame in front of Kayla. She was just like the villain, and had a weird taste.

And, crucially, it was the dessert Kayla cooked. The dessert that the villainess liked more than anything I made.

Those were the reasons for the question. I ran while thinking about Kayla’s actions.

I saw Kayla before I knew it. Kayla was waiting for me, holding her old book.

“⋯Kayla.”

“Get it!”

Kayla passed her old book to me. It was a book written in my unique handwriting.

Doubt is gradually filled with confidence. I immediately used detection magic.

If I’m right, Kayla’s parents wouldn’t have let her go unprepared.

However, no magic is applied to the detection magic. In response, I poured all my magical energy into using the detection magic.

Then, I saw the magic circles stacked on top of Kayla’s body.

These were protective magic circles that I couldn’t even grasp the power of.

There was a reason why the ferocious beast became quiet.

Suddenly, doubt became certainty. I looked at Kayla clearly. Kayla looked at me too.

I said, carving Kayla into her eyes.

“⋯⋯Kayla Baslett.”

“No! Kayla is her pseudonym.”

At those words, I looked at the child again. If Kayla is a pseudonym…

It was to ask for the original name, not a pseudonym.

But the child shook her head. Rather, she just asked me.

“Can you guess?”

Guess her own name, the child was suggesting. With the familiar smile you could see from Shael.

How did you guess the name without any clues? It was impossible.

But what I had to do was not guess. If I’m right.

If this child is really going to be born because of me…

Because that name will also come from me.

Then what would be good? I didn’t want to build it without much trouble.

But there was one name that immediately popped into my head. It was like fate.

It was something no one could understand. Naming a child is a matter of a moment’s thought.

However, I was convinced that it had to be this name.

I said at the same time, chewing on the name that I will come up with someday.

“Ruel.”

The child was quietly watching me. The child was waiting for me to say more.

I said, engraving each letter in my heart.

“──Luel Baslett.”

Luelle finally laughed.

At the same time as Ruel’s smile, Ruel’s body began to glow with a golden light. Suddenly, Ruel had disappeared.

It was a return to the original time. To be precise, to the future me.

I thought as I looked at the vacant seat where Ruel had been, which had not lost its light yet.

There are more reasons to rehabilitate the villain.

It was my goal that I had to achieve somehow.

Shael was walking around her mansion. Then Shael lowered her head.

It was to check if the recipe was safe.

“⋯⋯?”

The recipe, which was obviously fine, had turned into a blank piece of paper. However, Shael did not get angry.

Because Sael memorized the recipe.

Actually, I don’t remember the exact number. But she remembered the ingredients and order.

Wouldn’t the taste be similar even if you added more than the amount?

So Shael was able to walk happily.
