Taming The Villainesses

(EP-26.1) Academy Spring Season #1

026 – Heart-Opening Academy Spring Season #1

“Status Window.”

As I said so, a bunch of texts appeared in my mind.

I’d seen this a few times, but still couldn’t get used to it.

A week had passed since I got the Status Window.

Locking myself up in my office at the palace, I digested all the information.

Name: Theo Gospel Angmar lv. 15

Job: Half-Fairy lv. 2

Casanova Lv. 3

Actor lv. 7

Tutor lv. 2

Mage lv. 1

Talents: 《Farsight》《Calm Thinking》

Inclination: Chaotic-Neutral.

You are the only survivor of a fallen family.

You must revive the family while avoiding those who want to destroy it.

Fortunately, you are motivated to rebuild your family.

What was all this?

The most striking thing was the word ‘Angmar’ at the end of my name. Of course, I wasn’t stupid enough to not know what this meant.

And hadn’t the explanation below kindly explained it?

The sole survivor of a fallen family.

Defeat the enemy and survive.

That was my role.

Was Theo Gospel supposed to be a character like this?

No, not as far as I could remember. In the first place, the Angmar Family was already gone in the original novel and did not make any reappearance.

If a descendant of such a family existed, they would have received a very important spotlight in the story. There was no way I wouldn’t be able to remember something like that.

Did Theo Gospel have something like a MacGuffin that wasn’t revealed?

I couldn’t be sure…

One thing was for certain though, the ‘genre change’ that I was planning kept getting twisted and spun all around.

The goal of simply struggling to avoid an execution ending was no longer enough…

Knock, knock.

Then, someone knocked on my door.

Could it be the Imp Marmar?

Was it already lunch time?

“Who is it?”

“Who your sister!? I heard you didn’t come out because you’re too busy with work?”

It was Elga’s voice.

Elga, the one and only, the eldest daughter of the Lioness Family. Who, without waiting for me to answer, already burst in my office.

“……!”

When I looked at her face, my hair started to stand on end. Her surname ‘Lioness’ began to resonate with me.

It was as if the history books of Angmar were unfolding before my eyes.

The image of the four families who rebelled and defeated the Demon King.

They burned all of his remains, leaving only scattering ashes. What if they found out about my identity?

My body probably wouldn’t even head towards the gallows, and would just be ripped apart right away…

Thinking of this, I felt that Elga’s appearance was the most dangerous thing.

However, I was able to maintain a calm mind, probably because of my talent.

Taking one light, deep breath, I turned to face Elga and acted like nothing happened.

“What are you doing here?”

“Aira asked if you were doing well. I also want to see you. Anyway, why are you holed up in a corner like this? It’s not like you.”

Seueuk-

Elga leaned her torso and tilted her head towards me, who was sitting at the office table.

“You are a little weird these days…”

“… What do you mean?”

“‘What do you mean’? Are you seriously asking that right now!?”

Had she found out that I was an Angmar’s descendant?

Elga’s sense was as good as a cat’s and a wild beast’s. She might have caught on…

I could feel cold sweat running down my back. Meanwhile, Elga started scratching her cheek and turned her gaze to the side.

“Is it that shocking to get dumped by me? Is that why you are doing this?”

“Ah….”

“And then ‘that’ thing… You’ve never told anyone about it, right?”

Was she referring to the time when I touched her chest? Why would I even spread that around?

“Nope, never.”

“Let me tell you this, what happened will be a secret between us for the rest of our lives. Understand…?”

“Yes, I know.”

“Ok, that’s good. Well, I’m human too, so I won’t tell you to give up on me at once. Anyway, here, take this…”

Seuk.

Elga chucked something at me that she was hiding behind her back. It was a doll.

To be more specific, it was a poorly sewn doll. The stitching was sloppy and the finish was messy. It looked like a rag that a dog had bitten here and there.

However, it was created from good materials. For example, the hair was made of golden threads.

This doll had blue buttons for eyes, while wearing some fabric resembling a red dress outside.

The entire thing was very crude. However, should I say that it felt like a miniaturized version of someone I knew?

Said person then turned her head and said.

“Think of this as me. Take a look at it every day and, little by little, you’ll be able to forget about me.”

Did she make it on her own? Elga making a stuffed toy!?

I then thought of Elga making a doll by herself, using only a needle and some cloth inside her room.

To be honest, I couldn’t actually imagine something like that. Nevertheless, there was no other explanation for this clumsy craftsmanship other than the fruit of her own efforts…

“Then I’ll take my leave!”

With that, Elga hurriedly left.

Soon, words appeared in front of my eyes.

Diring-

「You have successfully deceived your enemy.

Gained job experience for ‘Actor’. +50」

「Job ‘Actor’ +1 Level!

Lv. 7 → Lv. 8

Increased chance of deceiving your enemy!」

‘I see’.

It was just as expected.

I had five jobs, namely Half-Fairy, Casanova, Actor, Tutor, Mage.

Each job also had a level. Furthermore, this System seemed to be the type that gave you experience for taking actions relevant to your job.

It felt like a game, so this was easy to understand.

The reason for Actor being the highest was probably because I’d been playing the role of Theo Gospel until now, right?

Knock, knock.

Just then, someone knocked on my door and slowly walked in.

“Comrade, I brought you a meal! It’s good that you’re dedicated to the workers’ cause, but even if you’re busy with work, shouldn’t you eat?”

It was the orange-haired Imp Marmar, who still wore a nun’s robe.

She was not a nun, so I was a little puzzled about her choice of clothes. Her stockings and shoes fit pretty well, though.

Of course, I knew that this gal was a monster.

I asked Marmar, who just closed the door before entering the room.

“Marmar, about the System.”

“What’s wrong? Do you have some questions regarding the System?”

“How many jobs can you have in total?”

“Usually, one to two, I guess? In my case, it’s Imp and Evangelist! There’s one more, but it’s a secret~.”

Uh-huh. A secret, wasn’t it?

Seureureu-

I narrowed my eyes at Marmar.

Immediately, I felt my talent《Farsight》being activated. If you asked me how I knew that, the only answer I could give would be instinct.

But what mattered was not the feeling, but the effect.

Name: Marmar Marnoi lv. 7

Job: Minor Demon lv. 3

Evangelist lv. 2

Revolutionary lv. 2

Talent: 《Striking Voice》

Inclination: Chaotic-Good.

A little demon created by the degradation of a fairy.

She somewhat favors you.
