Rehabilitate the Villainess - Rehabilitate the Villainess chapter 84

84 – Operation

I kissed Shael as it was. As Sael said, three kisses.

Even though it wasn’t the first time, it felt like the first time. It made me think that my beating heart was stupid.

My breath is shaking. When she kissed him and hugged him, her arms would tremble.

It was such a difficult thing to kiss Sael.

Enough time has passed. It was her turn to finish the long kiss.

She couldn’t erase her feelings of regret and fell out with Shael. After sharing her kiss, Shael was naturally blushing at her.

I opened her mouth to Sael.

“Are you going to the Blessing Meeting schedule now?”

“⋯⋯.”

She shook her head as if she disliked Shael. If she didn’t like Sael, she couldn’t help it, so she tried to accept her refusal.

But before that, Shael took something of hers out of her pocket.

“⋯⋯ Focus.”

“⋯?”

A blue ring attached to a chain. Shael was waving it, catching my eye on her.

It was obvious what it would be used for.

Unfortunately for Shael, I remember the name of the book she bought.

Obviously, it was a book with such a title.

I looked at Shael as she let out a sigh and waved her collar. Of course, the book is not true.

Even though magic exists to confuse the mind, there’s no way that could be possible with just one ring.

If it were Sael, he wouldn’t have even read that book properly.

“How are you?”

“Sometimes I feel a strange atmosphere.”

Seeing Sael eagerly looking at me, I had no choice but to be tricked by Sael.

I strained my body as much as possible and looked straight at the ring with blurry eyes.

Then Shael opened her eyes even more and put her ring on me.

Confused by Shael’s bold behavior, she pulled her head out. Starting with that, Shael reached out her hand to me and opened her mouth.

“⋯Give me your hand.”

I gently put my hand on Sael’s hand. It felt like being an animal.

Starting with Shael’s gaze at me, it was as if he were looking at a pet.

As if to compliment me, Shael reached out and stroked my hair.

Then what I see is Shael’s eyes full of anticipation.

You don’t even think I’m acting?

No matter how much Sael is, there’s no way he’ll believe something like this straight away. Although sometimes Shael showed her stupid behavior, it wasn’t to this extent.

Maybe you’re not even thinking about doubting it. Sael would want me to fall for the trick.

“⋯Don’t remember everything about an hour from now.”

Shael spoke the corner of her mouth that rose, without her being able to control it.

Barely holding back her laughter, he concentrated on what Shael said.

“⋯.”

But I couldn’t hear Sael’s words. The only thing that caught her eye was Shael, who spread her arms as if to be embraced by her.

I gave it to Shael as it was.

The current Shael was expressing her affection very boldly. Because she was a very shy Shael.

However, thanks to her hypnosis, Shael, who thought that I would not remember this, openly expressed his love for her.

It was a win for me.

“⋯ Kiss me.”

As Shael spoke, he looked at my lips. Shael directs me this time as well.

So it was inevitable that my lips would touch Shael’s.

That was when I hugged Shael. She was pushing me away meaning Shael would stop kissing her.

“Stop it now.”

“⋯⋯I hate it.”

For the reason that she is ashamed, it is too much for her to be satisfied with herself.

She was briefly surprised by my rejection, but the embarrassment didn’t last long. Because I went up to Shael and kissed her on the lips.

After the kiss, which was quite long, the only thing I could do was ask quietly.

“⋯What?”

“Why is that?”

“⋯⋯Your spirit, have you been fine?”

I didn’t answer Sael’s question. Silence means affirmation. Shael’s face was stained with shame when he noticed that.

“Talk with me.”

“Did you want to kiss me that much?”

“⋯.”

To say I played with it is an overstatement. Who did the strange trick first?

After giving time for the frantic Shael, she said.

“By the way, I have a question for you.”

“What is ⋯⋯?”

Things I’ve been thinking about since last night. I wanted to find out the answer together with Shael.

“There is one person who threatens your life. If so, what are you going to do?”

It was a story about Klee. Shael answered my words.

“Then wouldn’t it be right to punish?”

That’s normal. But now the situation was quite different.

“⋯⋯If you also have memories of bullying that person like crazy, what would you do?”

Before her return, Clie must have been tormented by Shael. That’s why she asked Shael a question.

I hated Clie like crazy. Because I went through a hellish experience because of Clie.

Still, I wanted to ask Shael for her opinion.

It wasn’t just my problem.

In the first place, the reason I wanted to ask Shael’s opinion wasn’t all.

The most important thing to me is Sael. Even if Sael did something wrong, if she is a danger to Sael, she has to get rid of it.

What Sael did to Clie in the first place was something the current Sael did not do.

But there was one more important problem than anything else.

‘Will Clie really let us go without any resistance?’

Clie lost her powers and became a time limit. Still, I couldn’t relax.

It was a world where all kinds of improbable objects existed. We cannot rule out the possibility that Clie will harm us.

Maybe there is another drug that will cure the disease.

If that happens, it’s obvious what will happen. You may have to go through the same thing again.

But I can’t act hastily. Even now, the mage tower lord and crown prince will be by Clie’s side.

So my way of thinking kept going back and forth.

I thought, ‘If I could hand over my earrings and make a contract of some sort, wouldn’t it be okay to leave me and Shael alone?’

‘It must be a stupid idea.’

Thinking back now that my mind is clearer, that was a crazy idea.

As she brushed away her anguish, she heard Shael’s voice.

“⋯⋯Am I the only one who is threatened with life?”

Then he looks at me. The question was whether I was included in the target of the threat.

“Perhaps me included.”

“Then we have to punish them.”

Shael’s words were taken for granted. It felt new.

It was because I was expressing myself as if I was more important than myself.

“And what if danger comes?”

“⋯⋯ Then, we should live together in a quiet farm-like place for a few months.”

Isn’t that an extreme choice?

Although she felt absurd at Sael’s words, she was in a good mood. Because to my ears, which interpreted Sael’s words on my own, I heard Sael’s words as saying that even if there is no one else, it’s just me.

It is said that you can sleep in a secluded place.

I don’t know if that will work. Still a difficult problem. It was a difficult problem that I had to solve in the future.

Anyway, Sael’s words cleared my mind. I was able to get a feel for what to do.

Worried about threats using improbable objects?

In that case, I might as well use those improbable items.

After thinking about the future strategy, I focused on Shael. Shaking off my thoughts, I think I can see Shael better than usual.

“⋯.”

The image of Shael standing naturally stepping on a flower catches my eye.

Although Sael has become kinder these days, she still hasn’t gotten rid of all her past habits.

There are so many things to do.

Starting with Clie, fixing Shael’s habits. Lastly, even the marriage with Shael, which is expected just by thinking about it.

I looked at Shael while feeling the fresh wind blowing.

After spending a long time with Sael, I could now guess her next actions just by looking at her expression.

Shael, whether he knows my agony or not, is plotting something.

The corners of Shael’s mouth go up and then hers go down again and again. I can’t control the corners of her swaying mouth and take a deep breath.

Shael finally made an unnatural expressionless expression and opened her mouth.

“Actually, I didn’t want to kiss you.”

As Shael finished her words, she pursed her lips. It was clear that she was holding back a laugh.

She even puts her hand on her waist, pushing her shoulders as far as she can in anger.

He said, ‘I’m lying.’ Shael, who is passionately informed by her actions.

I don’t know what Sael’s strategy is, but…

No matter what strategy, if it was Sael’s strategy, I was welcome.
