My Fiancee Was the Villainess of This World - My Fiancee Was the Villainess of This World chapter 67

67 – Harvest Festival (5)

When we call each other by nicknames, we forget our social status and call each other comfortably.

Even after things go back to normal, I don’t get caught up in this.

Because of this unwritten promise, Priscilla revealed her true feelings more honestly than usual.

“….”

In short, he has become more troublesome than usual.

“Wouldn’t it have been better if the door had been locked properly in the first place, Sir?”

“If you think about it that way, shouldn’t you have knocked in the first place?”

“That is the room where her maid waits. Any maid other than me could have entered without thinking. “It was a matter of time.”

“Do other maids knock and come in regardless of whether someone is present?”

“So you’re saying I was the first witness to that scene?”

“… Ugh.”

Priscilla began to whimper while holding her head.

“You’ve seen quite a few of my shabby looks, right? Just say so and move on.”

“Are you saying it looks shabby?”

“I rolled around on the ground and got hit by Dior. “Aren’t there other miscellaneous things going on?”

“I never thought it was ugly. Rather….”

The guy who was complaining just a moment ago made her blush slightly.

Then, perhaps because he was aware of my gaze, he made a pouty expression again, as if he was upset.

He was truly an annoying guy.

“It’s our turn.”

Fortunately, the line for the ring toss was all shortened, so I didn’t have to deal with annoying Priscilla.

“I won’t watch it.”

“The sea I longed for.”

Then, shall we take a look at the skills of a famous ring-throwing master from the countryside?

“Oooooh! This is truly a great couple!!!”

When our turn came and we went to the podium, the host saw us and screamed in surprise.

Even though I was wearing an eye mask, I was making a big fuss.

“Let me explain the rules!”

The rules of ring toss are pretty much the same.

I thought so, but there was an interesting rule of its own.

If you throw all the rings into the corner with the highest score, you will be awarded the title of Sharpshooter and the highest score.

The next highest score was successfully binging horizontally, vertically, and diagonally.

Just like poker, there are various rules.

This is definitely worth a try if you have a strong competitive spirit.

I was thinking about that.

“Ohhh!!! “This contestant is more competitive than he looks!”

Priscilla extended her five fingers toward the host.

When I asked what that meant, it seemed to be a requirement to play five games.

4 Games with bingo horizontally, vertically, and diagonally, and 1 game with the sharpshooter with the highest score.

It seemed like a declaration that they would aim for the highest score.

“Everyone, please support us with applause!!!”

The messenger placed a basket containing rings in front of Priscilla.

Then thunderous shouts erupted from all directions.

You can’t lose this.

I also extended five fingers towards the host.

“You will regret it.”

Priscilla looked up at me with a provocative expression.

I don’t gamble with children’s games like ring toss.

So I wasn’t very confident, but these are all tricks.

If you do it, you get used to it.

“I will give up who goes first.”

“Oh my, be a gentleman.”

Priscilla covered her mouth with her hand and laughed.

Then he held up the ring with a very serious expression and glared straight ahead.

Your posture is beautiful.

That was the moment I thought about it.

Swish swish swish!

“Oh, oh oh!!!”

It happened really quickly.

Priscilla inserted all of her rings into the long, cucumber-like crop in the far right corner.

“Wow!!!”

As Priscilla’s audience cheered her in love with her virtuosity, Priscilla gracefully held on to both ends of her skirt and bowed her waist.

“Is there still one empty seat?”

“….”

I carefully threw Priscilla’s hook, being conscious of her throwing stance.

But perhaps it took more skill than expected, and two out of five were missed.

… It was a moment when she looked to her side, thinking that it was more difficult than she thought.

Swish swish swish!

“Wow!!! “It’s bingo!!!”

Horizontal, vertical, diagonal.

Priscilla threw all 25 rings in the desired direction.

I have to admit what I have to admit.

Priscilla was a talented person who could be called the champion of ring throwing.

Pisik.

Priscilla looked at me with a provocative expression.

It was a moment when I felt overwhelmed and was trying to make an excuse.

─ Even though I looked like this, I was the ring throwing champion in my hometown!

─ Damn… ! My hands haven’t loosened up yet!

‘Huh….’

I almost ended up being stubborn, like it was a situational comedy.

“You lost, you really are a ring throwing master.”

When I obediently acknowledged her defeat, Priscilla blinked as if she was quite surprised.

“Here’s a souvenir!”

I left the venue holding in my hand the cheap necklace given to me by the host.

“Stay where you are.”

At that time, Priscilla had left behind the necklace I had given her as a gift in order to disguise herself as a commoner.

I’m a commoner, so it wouldn’t be a bad idea to spend a day like this.

Thinking about that, I decided to hang a necklace around his neck.

“Amazing.”

“hehehehe, it was the game I was most confident in.”

I didn’t mean it that way.

However, I did not want to disturb Priscilla, who was soaking in the joy of her victory.

I shook her head and gently held Priscilla’s hand.

“Yes, champion.”

“hehehehe.”

Priscilla pushed out her breasts slightly, as if showing off her necklace around her neck.

The appearance was so funny that I couldn’t help but laugh.

“By the way.”

“Hmm?”

As we left the venue and were looking around at the harvest festival again, Priscilla lifted the Perse on her wrist.

“Everyone notices it easier than you think.”

“It is a festival that even elderly nobles wait for. Would it be any different for those children? “Look.”

When I said that and pointed forward with her chin, Priscilla looked straight ahead for a moment and then smiled awkwardly.

There was a couple there who pretended to be commoners like us, but no matter where they looked, they looked like nobles.

“Ah, that’s what it feels like….”

He wears a fur to pretend to be a commoner, but his walking posture is different from the people around him.

We are probably similar.

“There are surprisingly many.”

Priscilla looked around, and she began to look for the nobleman disguised as Perse.

You may not notice it unless you are conscious of it, but if you observe it carefully, it becomes more noticeable than you think.

“Is it a prophecy? “She was a strange old woman, wasn’t she?”

“Could it be that they knew our identity? Or some type of magic….”

“Anyway, it was an amazing experience.”

“The clouds that covered the sun have cleared, and the path ahead of them has become brightly lit…. “Could it be that the old woman is a noblewoman?”

As I was observing these people who appeared to be nobles, I could hear their strange stories.

“Max, didn’t you just say it was a prophecy?”

“… “It seems so.”

“Why are you making that face?”

There is a small event in The Gardener of Thorns.

This is an event where you encounter an old fortune teller with a strange atmosphere.

This is a scene that always appears no matter what route you take. It is an event where the heroine encounters a nasty old woman who speaks bitterly no matter which target she takes.

There was a moment where I thought it was permissible for the game, so the old woman must also be opening a fortune telling shop in the system.

“It’s a dot, Max.”

“Yes.”

“It’s a dot!”

Priscilla noticed me with her eyes sparkling.

I would like to listen to her, but since she is an old woman who always says things I don’t like in the game, I don’t really want to go….

“It’s a dot, Max!”

“Don’t worry about what the results are. “After all, fortune telling is a superstition.”

“hehehehe, of course.”

Priscilla and I headed in the direction the nobles had walked.

Then, one by one, I began to see couples walking nearby, talking about divination.

I thought this was probably the right one.

“Oh, I think it’s over there?”

In the game, it was described as a ‘fortune-telling house that caught my eye by chance’ with text on the same background CG.

That’s why I wasn’t sure.

‘It’s strange.’

The game kept saying ominous and eccentric things, and the text said it was a shabby store where only flies flew around.

However, although the store in front of me was shabby, there was a line that seemed like I would have to wait for quite a long time.

There is a two-year time gap from the game, so has something happened to the old woman in the meantime and she becomes eccentric?

“Looking at the long line, I guess it’s a good fit.”

“You too are a natural woman, Sir.”

“… “What do you mean?”

Priscilla looked up at me with a slightly upset expression.

“I didn’t mean this in a bad way. “In novels, aren’t all women portrayed as fond of fortune-telling or superstitions?”

She seemed like the epitome of a chaste noblewoman, so I had the impression that she wouldn’t really believe in fortune-telling or superstitions.

“Whether it’s true or not doesn’t have much to do with it.”

“Is that so?”

But why do you like it so much?

“All women’s hearts flutter when they hear the word ‘fate.’”

It’s fate….

“That’s a difficult sentiment.”

“hehehehe. “Max is a natural man~”

I shrugged my shoulders at Priscilla’s words and waited for my turn.

The people coming out of the fortune telling shop each had various expressions on their faces, and they all had a puzzled look on their face as if they had had some mystical experience.

That stimulated my vigilance even more.

“Is this also from something called ‘Garden of Thorns’?”

When Priscilla gave me an expression that asked, “How did I know?”, She touched her own eyes with both of her hands.

“It has this kind of expression.”

… Have you decided to become a raceist now?

From Noble mtl dot com

“The eyes are sharper and more alert than usual. “This is the facial expression you make when you mention the topic of the Holy Kingdom.”

Oh my.

“Ah, it’s our turn next!”

At some point, the couple in front of us entered the fortune telling shop.

We stood right in front of the store’s door and waited for the couple who entered first to come out.

“Wow, what is this really… ?”

“Is it a magic tool?”

“Well?”

A couple who appeared to be commoners left the store muttering with a curious look on their faces.

Then Priscilla looked inside the store with an even more excited expression.

“Max… !”

“Yes.”

I held Priscilla’s hand and slowly entered.

‘… ‘It’s an amazing feeling.’

In the text of the game, it was described as feeling an ominous energy somewhere, but rather than being ominous, it felt like there was something mysterious about it.

“Welcome back.”

Just like in the game, an old woman dressed in a robe was sitting in front of a large crystal ball.

“Oh, hello?”

Priscilla looked a little nervous as she took my hand and headed towards the chair in front of the old woman.

“Oh hoho…. “You seem like a very compatible couple.”

─ hehehe, this is it… What a strange combination.

It is different from the first line.

In the game, there was a description of a strange feeling of hostility and malice, but no matter how we looked at the old woman, it seemed as if she was welcoming us.

“Would it be okay if I looked after your love fortune?”

“Yes? Ah, yes….”

“Hohoho!”

The old woman kept a gentle expression on her face the entire time and began caressing the crystal ball in front of him.

Then, warm light began to flow from the crystal sphere and brightly illuminate the surroundings.

“The brilliant sun has risen.”

The old woman looked at us with a warm expression, as if the light was warm.

“Where the sun rises, shadows appear. It’s nature’s way, so don’t be afraid. All you need to do is follow the path led by the red thread of fate. Ho ho ho….”

At the old woman’s words, Priscilla shrugged her shoulders and looked at me.

I felt the same way as Priscilla, so she looked at the old woman with a surprised expression.

But the old woman still said with that strange expression, “Hohohoho…” .” All he could say was laughter.

I guess I said everything I wanted to say.

I guess that’s what I want to say.

For some reason, the line was long, but it moved faster than expected.

“Let’s go, Sir.”

I took the gold coin out of her pocket and put it on the table, then pulled Priscilla’s hand and stood up from her seat.

It was the moment when I was about to leave.

“Dawn before the sun rises is the darkest. “Please be alert.”

An old woman’s voice came from behind me.

‘It’s dawn….’

“I’ll keep it in mind.”

“Hohohoho.”

I left the fortune telling shop.

Then, the strange energy surrounding my body melted into the air and disappeared.

“… Did you notice?”

“Well.”

I don’t know what the principle is.

However, it made me think that he wasn’t just saying anything at all.

‘Why is it different from a game in the first place?’

Of course, there is an event to visit this place on the Maximilian Route.

She was an old woman who never said anything nice, but in the Maximilian route, she felt even more uneasy.

─ When the era comes when no shadows are cast where the sun rises, a kind clown will cast a new shadow. The light loses its shine─

I didn’t remember because I skipped it after that, but Maximilian in the game definitely comforted Cynthia, who looked anxious.

‘What on earth…? .’

“It’s called the red thread of fate. hehehe.”

Priscilla said and took out her handkerchief, which she had embroidered with her red thread.

And then he gently stroked the handkerchief with a loving expression.

“… I’m hungry. “Why don’t you go eat sometime soon?”

“Is that so?”

This is not a game.

Dior, who I could never be with, declared that he would join my side and light the flame on my behalf in the dark of dawn.

So, nothing will happen as the old woman worries….

‘I guess I’ll have to look for traces of Chapter 2.’

Because the corruption of the Prime Minister has been prevented, there is no possibility of the events of Chapter 2 occurring.

But since it happens just in case, there is no harm in being careful.
