Rehabilitate the Villainess

18 – The wicked woman does not know the extent

The reason Sael had to attend the Mage’s Tower was because of the long contract between the Azbels and the Mage’s Tower.

The Mage Tower gives magic tools to the Azbel family, and in return, the Azbel family has to send their lineage to the Mage Tower event.

It was to suppress the curse placed on the mage tower even slightly by having the lineage of the Azbel family, a famous family of magic, attend.

The suppression of the curse takes place on the second day of the banquet. So the banquet is held the next day. Therefore, Sael has to attend the banquet tomorrow as well.

She also meant that she would have to spend time in the Mage Tower until tomorrow.

“What would you like to do?”

“Let’s walk first.”

Shael looked like she was troubled, then she started walking aimlessly.

Then she stopped. She saw a huge building.

It was the library of the Mage Tower. Shael was pointing to this place.

“Would you like to spend some time here?”

“Yes.”

Sael answered without hesitation and then entered the library.

The Mage Tower’s library was more ordinary than I thought. The reason is that outsiders can also use it.

The books related to magic were only basic. Rather, there were many other types of books.

I could read philosophy books that wouldn’t fit in a place called the Magic Tower’s library, and even novels for fun.

Unlike me, who thought she had nothing to read, Sael picked up the book without much hesitation. It was as if she had a book she wanted to read.

She started reading after covering the cover of the book with another book. She looks very suspicious.

“What kind of book do you want to cover up like that?”

“⋯Don’t be curious.”

Isn’t it natural to want to see you even more when you say that?

Above all, she might be up to something strange. If she gets into a big accident at the Magic Tower, she might suffer a huge blow. No, of course you will get hit.

We have to rule out even the slightest possibility so that such a thing cannot happen.

I used vision magic on Shael’s back. It was a magic that created a virtual mirror and helped to see the back of the target.

She looks at the contents of the book she is reading.

-‘Drink a lot of water. It’s one of the easiest looking yet surprisingly difficult ones. It is one of the essential elements to lose weight.’

Shael nodded her head slightly as if he understood while looking at her book.

It was a book that I hadn’t really thought about.

When she practiced dancing, she said to Shael that she seemed to have gained weight. I hope it’s not because of that…

Shael closed the book. She pulled out another book. It was a book called ＜100 exercises to develop finger strength＞.

When she thought about why she had brought out this book all of a sudden, she immediately knew why.

-‘Taaagh!’

I remember that fierce and clear sound. It was the sound Sael made when she hit me for the night.

As for Shael, it was such a humiliation that she had been beaten by me.

She seemed to be preparing a big deal for revenge. She looked at the book with sad eyes.

-‘Repeat squeezing and stretching her hand 100 times.’

It was a sentence from the book she was reading.

Shael put her hands under her desk. It must have been the reason for not being visible to me. Of course, I was able to see her hand through the vision spell.

Shael started wiggling his hands. It was both hands. It looked a bit funny.

She repeated squeezing and stretching her hand as the book said. Of course, it was a little different from the book.

She repeated it ten times the number mentioned in the book, a whopping 1,000 times.

⋯ After finishing it, the villainess was holding her breath little by little so as not to show it.

It was a testament to how much effort the villainess was putting into her revenge.

“What are you doing?”

“⋯Why all of a sudden?”

“No.”

Shael stood up. She then said as if she were asking me to follow her.

“I need to drink some water.”

Drink water. It was the method she had been looking for and told in her book to lose her weight.

She was following the contents of the book she had just read.

I handed her some water.

Beep beep-

Shael continued to drink water. After all, she was like that before.

Even when she was doing her hand squeezing and stretching exercises, she had lightly jumped over the recommended amount in the book.

Anyway, the villain doesn’t know the extent. So I told Shael.

“Drinking too much can have adverse side effects. Trying to lose weight can actually harm your health.”

It was a bonus to suggest that she saw the contents of the book she was reading. It was to put a little emphasis on my words.

Because the villainess had to learn that ‘she is to the fullest’.

The villainess was taken aback by my words.

“⋯ No way?”

It must have meant that I had read the contents of the book.

“It is good to exercise as much as possible. It’s not good for your joints.”

The following words affirmed her words to some extent.

“⋯.”

Shael walked away in silence. Surprisingly, she wasn’t angry. Shame must have been the reason.

⋯ Indeed. It would be embarrassing for me to open and close my fingers 1000 times in front of other people.

The wicked woman’s face was red as she walked away in silence.

The Mage Tower had a somewhat unique setting.

Night at the Magic Tower. Outsiders cannot move freely. It was because of the curse he received from the demons.

People who learned the special magic of the Mage Tower. And only the strong who knew how to handle magic were free from the night of the Mage Tower.

Otherwise people lose some senses. Sight, hearing, and even smell.

Moreover, if it lasts for a long time, you may lose your senses forever.

The setting was that Aren Jagers had so much resentment against the demons that all the high-ranking demons cursed the magic tower in exchange for their lives.

You may think that this is a ridiculous setting, but it was also a setting made by the writer of a romance fantasy novel.

Perhaps it was to develop the story of the lord of the magic tower and the heroine.

That setting was also poison for Sael. It was because she, with the Azbel family’s magical power, came to the Mage Tower.

It was because the Azbel family’s magical power itself suppressed the demon’s curse.

But why didn’t the Mage Tower lord, Aren, move the location of the Mage Tower even though he was under such a curse?

Mage Tower Lord Aren was a very eccentric character. The setting that he thought this curse wonderful also appears in the novel.

Anyway, that’s why outsiders have to stay in designated lodgings during the night of the Mage Tower.

In the inn, the magic of the mage tower was cast. Outsiders could be safe from the curse of depriving their senses thanks to this.

Me and Sael were also following the guide and heading to the lodging that the owner of the tower should have designated.

“Here it is. If you need anything, you can call me by pressing this button here. You should never come out.”

This was also because of the curse. Shael and I tried to enter the inn. But I had to stop. Why did they both guide you to the same inn?

“Should I use it with this person?”

“Yes? They were allotted according to what the Master of the Magic Tower said. Could there be a problem?”

The receptionist responded in bewilderment at Shael’s words.

“Please let me sleep in a different room from this person.”

“Sorry. All accommodations are already full.”

“⋯That wide mage tower.”

This was also the setting for a damn novel. There are not many lodgings in the magic tower. Now I don’t even know why.

If you dare to predict, it must have been because of the episode in which the crown prince, who had come secretly in disguise due to lack of lodging, was beaten up.

It was a setting that the writer had to forcefully put in for that purpose.

“The curse begins in 5 minutes. I think you should use this place for now.”

“⋯ Then, go.”

Sael had no choice but to accept and sent the guide away.

“Bastard.”

Perhaps it was an insult to the owner of the mage tower. No, i’m sure

“Bastard.”

⋯I think the first curse I heard came out of Sael’s mouth. Apparently, the villainess seemed to have learned a new curse word. Shael headed for her door.

Kikiiikㅡ

It was the sound of Sael opening the door.

Koo-ung!

Then I closed it again.

“⋯Why, only one room⋯⋯?”

“⋯.”

It seemed that Sael was chewing on the swear words of the Master of the Magic Tower again.

Kikiiikㅡ

I opened the door that Shael had closed. It was because the curse of the magic tower would begin soon.

The room was a decent size. It was smaller than Sael’s room, but that was because Sael’s room was very large.

The Mage Tower Lord treated us better than I thought. The room was cleaner than expected.

Is the Mage Tower Master, who has the personality of a dog chaban who even tried to use magic toward Sael, a person with common sense?

It might be because at tomorrow’s banquet, Azbel’s family, Shael’s help, will be needed very much.

But if you think about it again… The mage lord couldn’t have cared about such a thing.

⋯Ah, is it because of the pill of lies? Maybe he tried to ask for a weird room assignment and he said the opposite.

Anyway, there was food on the table, and books for leisure on the bookshelf. There were even magic tools for convenience.

“⋯.”

“⋯.”

But why is there only one bed?
