The Villainess in the Romance Fantasy Is Strange - Chapter39

39. Taming the Unicorn (2)

-Purreung, Purreung! Purrung—!

The unicorn, whose legs were tied to the base of the tree, seemed to be frightened by my words that I would cut off its hind legs first.

Kung, kung-!

The tree trunk, several times thicker than my body, trembled and the leaves fell. Even though my body is tied up because of me, it seems to prove that my origin is Shinsoo. Even his eyes are shining brightly, which is a menacing look.

“Hmm.”

You must have been scared at this point. I am different. There is no way that I, who have gone through all of the mountain battles and aerial battles, will hesitate because of just one mountain beast.

Whether the wide-eyed unicorn is a threat or not. I looked at him here and there with a gaze as if I was appraising daily meat. He placed his palms on his well-muscled hips.

“No, here rather than on the hind legs. This hip area looks stronger. If I cut off this part, I think I can prepare enough for one meal. Would it be all right if I cut it out?”

-Pureung, purrureung——!

──Ka, Cain baby! What do you mean? Yu, I’m going to cut off the unicorn’s butt…… ?!

I pretended not to hear the sounds the unicorn and Venus were making, and looked up at Lia.

Lia seemed to think for a moment, then narrowed her eyes and shook her head.

“Ugh, no. It would be so pitiful to cut off the butt of a living child.”

“Huh, sorry? Miss Lia, this guy is a beast. Don’t you feel sorry when you kill people’s cattle or pigs?”

“Yes, yes, but unicorns are not ordinary cows or pigs, are they?”

-Purreung, Purreung─!

As if agreeing with Lia, the unicorn shook her body vigorously and stared at me with her eyes wide open.

Although they are of different species and cannot communicate, the look in his eyes is somehow quite arrogant. It’s as if a unicorn is saying to me, ‘I’m not worthy of being touched by you!’

“Huh, really…. Oh, you bastard.”

I tried to go as easily as possible, but I don’t think I’ll be able to listen carefully because my eyes are rebellious. At this point, in order to break his spirit, I pulled out the sword that had been drawn around my waist and scratched the ground.

Kagagak-!

A lump of metal and a lump of dirt collide, creating an unpleasant sound. I made a loud noise and caught the unicorn’s attention, and I hung my sword right next to his head.

“…… Horseflesh. It seems you still don’t understand the situation.”

-Pureung…… !

“You are still alive because of Lia. If it wasn’t for Lia-sama, I’d have already cut all my arms and legs into chunks of meat. Know?”

This was sincere. The reason is simple. This is because a unicorn is a spiritual creature that cannot be tamed even if I, a man, die and wake up.

A guy who prefers virgins won’t be able to handle it anyway. Wouldn’t it be better to process it well and make money rather than letting it go?

No wonder, unicorn horns are sold at very high prices. This is because ‘Alicon’, the ingredient that makes up its horn, is nothing short of an all-purpose antidote. Even all kinds of diseases can be cured at once, he says.

So it’s only natural that rich people are obsessed with unicorn horns. As soon as this effect became known to the public, the price skyrocketed, recently asking for 2,000 pounds per 10 cm of horn.

Approximately 1.6 Billion when 2000 pounds is converted into modern Korean money.

But this guy’s horns are about 70cm long.

In other words, cut this bastard’s body in pieces and grill it and eat it. If you cut the horns finely and sell them, you can earn over 14,000 pounds.

Let’s get to that point. This, I wondered if I should really cut off the horns and sell them, rather than just saying that I would chop them up for threats.

That’s right, a whopping 14,000 pounds. 14000 Pounds.

If you cut off this guy’s horn, it’s like more than 10 billion won will fall into me and Leah’s hands…….

“…… Lia.”

“Huh?”

“If I could just remove this guy’s horn, wouldn’t it be life-threatening?”

10 Billion.

That huge amount of money made my hand move by itself.

I gripped the sword tightly before I knew it, and Lia quickly came closer to me and whispered.

“…… Wait a minute, Cain. Are you sure you’re not serious?”

“… ….”

“Hey, Cain…… ?”

-Sereung.

I drew my sword.

Then he grabbed the unicorn’s horn without a boot.

-Purreung, Purreung──!

──Uh, uh… ? Cain baby…… ?

“If not all of them, I will cut only half, half.”

“Uh, huh? Cain! The horn is the life of a unicorn. If you cut it in half, he will…… !”

“…… Even Venus-nim will allow you to do this.”

From noble mtl dot com

-Pureung, Purreung! Purrureung… !

──Ka, Cain baby! Even though I told you not to choose the means and methods. It’s not okay to use brutal direct violence like this…… !

Ria, Venus, and a beast all came together to dissuade me, but my eyes were already gone.

If it goes according to the original plan. As a whip, I created an atmosphere of fear, applied psychological pressure, and then tried to make the unicorn embrace it by providing Lia, a place where one could lean on one’s heart…….

Because I think that if I miss this opportunity, 5 billion, no, 10 billion will disappear right in front of my eyes. I suddenly thought that it was an operation and that it was none of my business.

“Ka, Cain! Calm down for now. This is Shinsoo, Shinsoo! It is a spiritual object that cannot be valued with money!”

“No, there is nothing in the world that money cannot buy. In our world, you can buy and sell even your life if you have money.”

“Yeah, but no way! Cain, quickly put down that sword…… !”

“…… Let this go Then Lia-sama gets hurt too.”

14,000 Pounds is barely enough money to earn if I spend ten years under my brother.

That kind of money is rolling on the ground, right in front of my eyes. Isn’t it stupid not to pick this up?

-Pureung, Purung…… !

The unicorn realized that my words came from the heart and shook itself wildly to resist, but it was not a great threat because its legs were tied to the base.

Despite Lia’s interference, I forced myself into a position to strike the sword.

“Horse meat. Be patient for a moment, the pain will only be momentary.”

──Ah, my dear…… !

And the moment he was about to strike the sword.

“…… Oh, no! Cain, no!”

Leah, who was clinging to my arm, quickly moved her body and took her unicorn’s head into a hug.

Stand tall.

The sword stopped in the air.

Leah took advantage of that opportunity and opened her mouth to convince me.

“Now, wait a minute. Cain? Let’s think again. Even if it’s a carrot and stick strategy, it’s too pitiful to actually take her horns off…… !”

-Pureung, Purung……. Purung–!

As if she really felt sorry for the unicorn, Lia said in a very urgent tone and hugged him.

The unicorn instinctively realizes that the only person to rely on in the current situation is Lia, and uses her long neck to cling to Lia as if half-embracing her.

As I looked at Lia and the unicorn, who seemed to be hugging each other at first glance, I thrust my sword into the ground.

Then, after tapping her ring, he spoke directly to Venus.

“Venus. Venus-sama, for sure, if the unicorn calmly gives her arms and hugs her gently. You said you would admit that you tamed it?”

──That, that’s true. To think that this won the heart of a unicorn…….

“Hey, Unicorn and Lia are hugging each other in such a friendly way. If this is not tamed, what the hell is it?”

──… ….

As if speechless, Venus remained silent, neither affirming nor denying.

Lia, who had only listened to the conversation between me and Venus, slowly opened her mouth to see if she had a belated understanding of her situation.

“…… Uh? Oh, please… ?”

“Venus. I have complied with all conditions. Without direct violence, the unicorn gave Lia a hug so that she could hug her gently. Venus-sama, who has observed everything so far, will know better.”

──… ….

“So please tell me. Is this a tamed unicorn or an untamed one?”

Venus, who had been silent for a long time, slowly opened his mouth.

──The conditions I suggested……. It’s true that everyone is satisfied.

──Although the ordeal didn’t go the way I intended……. After all, success is success.

Venus, who was talking nonchalantly. He declared in a very reluctant tone.

──This, I will admit it…….

“…… Yes, thank you.”

I turned my head and looked at Lia.

The unicorn in her arms is trembling with her eyes closed as if she is afraid to look at me at all, and Lia is looking up at me with her dumbfounded expression.

I moved closer to Lia and held out her right hand.

“Lia-sama. It’s done. Since Venus-sama will acknowledge that you have tamed the unicorn, you don’t have to postpone it any longer.”

“…… Cain, are you really acting?”

“Yes?”

What is this again?

Gee. Leah narrows her eyes and stares at me.

“From the middle, I don’t think it was acting…… ?”

“… ….”

Why are you so quick to notice?

* * *

Anyway, the situation is over.

The result of my excellent performance as a whip. Lia’s success in taming the unicorn was recognized by Venus. All we have left now is to take the unicorn to the altar of Venus and officially pass the ordeal.

Oh, sure. Before that, we need to stop by Baron Lance’s fortress and arrest some Mine. She should also participate in the hunting festival that Lia is looking forward to and achieve good results.

There was no mention of anything else, but the nunchi was looking for the first prize product, ‘alcohol bestowed directly by the emperor’. I plan to run through the fields as much as I can and give Lia a bottle of alcohol as a gift.

“Lia-sama.”

“…… Yes why?”

I called Lia to discuss the future schedule, and she showed a slightly defensive attitude, hugging the unicorn’s neck tightly.

Anyway, he seems to be doing that because he sincerely accepted my offer to cut off his horn, but he continues like this even after I explain that this was all part of the strategy. This is won

-Pureung, Purung…….

“Yeah, it’s okay. My sister will protect you, so don’t you worry about anything?”

-Pureung, Purung─!

I’m really dumbfounded.

I got a bit grumpy seeing the two of them treating me like a villain, so I looked at the unicorn’s horn with a calm gaze.

“Hmm, I think it would be nice if I could take off just 10cm….”

“Oh no! No one can touch our uni horn!”

“…… Are you Uni? Have you already given me a name?”

“Yes, it is a unicorn, right? That’s why it’s ‘uni’ for short.”

“Ah, yes….”

Your naming sense is very unique.

…… Well, it doesn’t matter if the name of the unicorn I can’t handle is Uni or Recon. I cleared my throat to ventilate my surroundings, and slowly got to the point.

“Well, I understand. So Lia-sama, would you like to go straight to the citadel?”

“Yeah, that’s right, right? It’s still full of demons there.”

Lea gently touched the unicorn’s mane.

The unicorn, who almost had a seizure when I touched it, didn’t even accept Lia’s touch as if it were a mother horse’s.

“Yuni, can you help your sister?”

-Pureung, Purung──!

As if to tell him to trust himself, the unicorn with a turejil raised his head.

The direction the unicorn is looking at is a dangerous area with many demons wearing the masks of attendants. It was the location of the Lance Fortress.

“Cain.”

“Yes, Lia.”

Leah held out her hand slightly. I held her hand lightly as if escorting it.

“Let’s go, to arrest the demons…… !”

“…… Foot.”

Suddenly, Lia stopped and twisted her head.

“…… Wait, why are you laughing?”

“Mmm, no. It’s nothing.”

I’ll keep the fact that Lia nodded her head seriously and laughed because she looked cute.
