Rehabilitate the Villainess - Rehabilitate the Villainess chapter 105

105 – If you like it, you will like it

The sound of the chain scraping the floor pierced my ears. It meant that Clie, who had fainted, had finally woken up.

“Hey, this is…”

“Are you awake? How many times do you pass out with just one blow to the head?”

Clie, who was frowning on her face, managed to erase her expression. Seeing her lips twitch, she could tell that Clie was hiding her feelings.

It has no choice but to be. With a body that could not move, everywhere was blocked with all sorts of magic tools.

Clié was in a situation where she had to be polite even if she wanted to swear at me.

So things were fine. Except for the fact that Shael was by her side. For that reason, I couldn’t bother harassing Clie at ease.

“Shael, you better go up first.”

“No. I have one thing to do.”

Shael took out something from her. She was something I had seen in the Holy Kingdom. While on her way to a blessing meeting, she bought a lie detector.

It was just a magic tool for fun. Naturally, there was no way that such a thing would have the ability to detect other people’s lies.

Shael brought such a lie detector to Clie.

“Why, why are you like that?”

“At that time, I was curious about why you poured wine on me.”

Is it not enough to have been slapped in the hospital room before? Sael was asking Clie with all her annoyance on her face.

“Poetry, that’s a mistake.”

Pipbi Big.

At the same time as Clie’s words, the red light on the lie detector magic tool came on. It meant that Clie’s words were lies.

Damn it!

Clie’s head turned. Shael’s sharp touch had knocked Clie off.

Even so, Shael’s anger did not subside.

‘Come to think of it, it seems that Sael hates Clie more than I do.’

Out of nowhere, I spilled wine on Sael, and she tried to hit me with her tail.

Because of what I told you, Sael also knew that Clie was the starting point of her strange rumors.

Those weren’t all of them, so from Sael’s point of view, Clie would be very disgusting.

She

She said, “I heard she tried to do something strange to the Azbel family. Is that still the case?”

“Oh no!”

It was an answer that Clie had no choice but to answer. Whether or not the lie detector judges this to be false, she will see blood if she answers Sael’s words as true.

Wow.

The lie detector judged Clie’s words to be true. For Klee, it was fortunate.

Damn it!

However, this time, Clie’s head turned.

“The lie detector is broken.”

“⋯⋯.”

Is this the villain?

The ability to tease and harass opponents was excellent. To be honest, I was grateful to Shael for being a fool only in front of me.

In that way, only sharp sounds resonated in the Baslet family’s prison.

She was able to get out of prison only after time passed and Shael felt hungry.

But Shael didn’t go to the restaurant. She stood still and quietly grabbed my wrist.

“Why is that?”

She was bending her mouth as if Sael had something to say to her. My gaze, which stayed on Sael’s mouth, could only be directed toward Sael’s arm.

Because Shael was hiding something from her with her hands behind her back.

“There are a lot of things that need fixing. From this one.”

Shael held out something she had been hiding. A potion of a fairly familiar form caught my eye.

It was the kind of potion that Rayel Tarden had given, perhaps to help with love.

“What is it?”

“What is it? It’s a potion you stole from your pocket.”

I thought she was lost, but she was with Shael. A potion I wouldn’t use but thought it would help, so I didn’t use it.

“Oh, if you give it again…”

Clang!

The potion that fell from Sael’s hand shattered and spilled on the floor.

I was dumbfounded by the situation I couldn’t understand, but I couldn’t help but wake up to Sael’s passionate gaze.

“I heard it’s a potion that helps love.”

“I don’t remember ever saying that.”

In the first place, I had never taken out a potion in front of Shael.

But there was one scene that remained in my memory little by little.

‘You said that when you were drunk.’

She resented me in the past for drinking the wine Shael gave me without question. Whatever happened, she waited silently for Sael to say.

“You don’t need anything like this.”

“I don’t know what you mean.”

“So…”

Hmmm.

After clearing his throat several times, Shael continues her words.

“Sah, you don’t have to use this for love.”

She was finally able to understand Sael’s words. Shael was mistaken that I was trying to use the potion because I wanted love.

So there’s no need to use these things for love, don’t worry, I’ll give you enough love anyway.

She was conveying this meaning.

‘That’s absurd.’

She told me that she would punish me for mistaking me alone, and she delivered a trembling voice with bright red cheeks.

It was a Sael-like affair. But that’s why I rather liked this situation.

I tried to pass the time by hugging. But Shael looked up at me as I approached, her hand on her waist.

‘There’s still more to be scolded for?’

This time I felt a more stinging gaze than before. It was to the point of being a little tense.

“Follow me.”

The shy voice went somewhere, and a bloody voice was heard. With a trembling heart, I gulped and followed Shael.

* * *

I scolded Eran for trying to use a strange potion for love.

So now it was time to scold others. It was a problem to the extent that Eran had to be scolded unconditionally.

‘Gambling.’

Eran seems to be addicted to gambling lately. So Shael wanted to teach Eran the fear of gambling.

“Follow me.”

Innocent Eran followed Shael without knowing anything. Shael entered Eran’s room and took out the poker cards she had prepared.

Shael’s strategy was simple. Beat Eran, win. In this way, it was an operation that gave the despair of gambling.

Shael, who had studied poker rigorously, was confident.

Shael, who was defeated by Eran while wearing her disguise tool, didn’t even know the rules of her poker game.

She even thought of a contingency plan in case she was defeated by Eran.

So Shael was able to bring out her confident words to Eran.

“You seem to like gambling. Let’s put some money on it and try it.”

“I don’t know what’s going on all of a sudden… But I’ll figure it out.”

Shael took out a large sum of money and put it in front of Eran. She was a pittance to Shael, but not to Eran.

If Eran was defeated, Eran’s despair would be inevitable.

“Let’s get started.”

“Okay.”

Imagining a future in which Eran with an innocent expression would be brutally defeated, Shael proceeded to play poker with Eran.

However, things didn’t go as Sael expected. Rather, the situation was heading in the opposite direction.

Obviously. Eran is defeated, and must be defeated.

Eran repeated victories and victories. It was Shael who kept losing.

“Do it again.”

“Okay.”

Shael bet a large sum of money, vowing to use a last-ditch contingency plan if he lost again.

The result was obvious. After all, it was Shael who was defeated.

Sael finally came up with a contingency plan he had been saving.

“It’s my first time playing a game called poker. I’ll pretend I haven’t lost so far, and I’ll do it again.”

Of course it was a lie. Because she had practiced it over and over again by calling a lady-in-waiting.

But what can I do?

Eran doesn’t know that. So Shael was able to straighten her waist and look at Eran.

It was a bonus to make her look, which Ran used to show a weak side whenever she was seen.

Now that her heart has weakened, she just has to wait for Ran to hand the money she won back to Shael. Then you’ll have to play the game again.

Eran’s mouth finally opened.

“I am also new to poker.”

That wasn’t true. Eran used to play poker with Shael, who used her disguise tool.

Shael, who was in a hurry, hurriedly refuted Eran’s words.

“I heard that you also gambled.”

“I have gambled, but I haven’t played poker or anything like that.”

At Eran’s shocking remark, Shael had no choice but to remain silent.

Seeing Eran’s dignified expression, Shael’s silence grew more still.

This person⋯⋯.

“A good man.”

Where did your conscience go?

* * *

In the end, Shael robbed Eran of her entire fortune. The Baslet family’s finances would be used for her anyway, and Sael didn’t even spend money unless it was related to Eran, so it didn’t matter, but ⋯⋯.

I was kind of annoyed. I started it because I wanted to change Eran, but it seemed to remind him of the fun of gambling.

So, to vent her anger, Shael came to the Baslet family’s prison with a lie detector.

In fact, it was more out of curiosity than out of anger.

She flirts with Eran, and what she thinks of Eran, the woman who quarreled with the Azbels and Basletts.

Because Sael was very curious about that.

“What are you doing?”

“I came to see what she thinks of Eran.”

The quick-witted Clie quickly turned her head around and gave Sael the perfect answer.

“I really hate Young master. You don’t even have charm in the first place…”

Isn’t Eran attractive?

Aww!

Clie’s cheek was touched by Sael’s stinging palm, causing her to turn red.

Clie, who soon realized her mistake, spoke her words to Shael, who was waiting for her answer.

“Sah, actually, Young master is charming. Even in social churches, most of them think well of Young master. Of course, as a lousy me, I don’t yearn for Young master…”

Obviously that was the perfect answer. By mentioning that Eran is attractive, she made up for her earlier mistake and made it clear that she didn’t even like her.

But that was just Clie’s idea. Shael thought differently.

‘Eran is attractive?’

No. She was the only one who could develop a crush on Ran and share her affection.

Slap!

Clié’s cheeks, which were already red, turned even redder.

A look of bewilderment appeared in Clie’s eyes. He didn’t know how to deal with this situation, and he didn’t have a sense of his conduct.
