Rehabilitate the Villainess

9 – If the wicked woman catches your weakness

The wicked woman smiles silently at me.

“⋯Please delete it.”

Of course, there was no way the wicked woman could easily erase it. The wicked woman put her hand on her orb again. Then my voice came out.

-‘Bitch like a dog’

“I’ve never heard anything like this from anyone.”

“⋯Everyone will think about that in their hearts.”

“Ha, have you finished talking?”

It must be true. If anyone meets the wicked woman, she will chew all sorts of curses in her heart.

Anyway, I didn’t expect this to happen. It’s a huge crisis. How the hell did you get that stuff?

They said it came out once a year. If so, it must have been an exorbitant price. Does the wicked woman want to bury me to the extent of paying that much?

Well, it seems so.

“You apologize first, and I’ll delete it after seeing what you do.”

The villainess said while raising the corner of her mouth. She wants to torment me all the time.

“⋯I apologize if you delete it.”

“Ha, can’t you grasp the current situation?”

“Isn’t that just telling the truth?”

“⋯What?”

Yes. Because it’s true that she’s a dog bitch. Does it make sense to start by arguing with her and then record only my words?

“Isn’t it you who said “Dog-like” First?”

“⋯Me? Oh, I don’t remember.”

The villainess takes off her pretense.

“Did dementia come after hair loss?”

“⋯I’m dumbfounded, really. Ha.”

The wicked woman carefully placed her beads inside her cloak. Then she said as usual.

“You are… The real worst.”

“So are you.”

If it was usual, I would have responded more… But I stopped here because I found a weakness.

“For now, let’s think about it by looking at what you’re doing today.”

“⋯Okay.”

To be honest with her, I don’t think the villainess will erase this easily, but… She was convinced and walked after her.

How many minutes did it take? A street full of people came out. Sael walked without hesitation as if he was familiar with the road.

Then what I see is a large building. The place she came from was the auction house.

Could it be that the snake beads were also bought here?

As if to affirm my thoughts, she went straight into the auction house.

“What are you buying?”

“It’s useful.”

The villainess didn’t even think about what she was going to buy, so she spent the money.

As I entered the auction house, I saw many people. All I could hear was the loud voice of the auctioneer.

ㅡ Welcome to the auction house. The auction will start soon, so please prepare.

“⋯I have to sit over there.”

What Shael pointed at was the front of her. Seat number 1 in the front row. She was a villainess who was greedy from the seat.

She followed her and sat down next to her and looked at her auction listing.

There are many miscellaneous things, from all kinds of luxurious things such as swords, jewels, and treasures to things that are hard to see normally.

I even see things I want to buy.

The villainess was also eyeing her list.

What about the wicked woman’s spending?

To be honest, I am anxious. By any chance, if this engagement is maintained and you get married to the villainess…

⋯I will manage the money.

—Now, it’s this huge gem that kicks off our first auction! A hybrid sapphire created by mixing several types! Let’s start with 1 million gold!

With the auctioneer’s signal, many noble ladies pressed buttons to start the auction.

Definitely, it is a very beautiful gem. If so, will the wicked woman be interested?

Unexpectedly, Shael was not interested in jewelry. A few auctions go by like that. It was then that the villainess showed her interest.

—-This time it’s heavy pollen! When sprayed, the object temporarily gains weight. It’s also good to secretly spray it on nasty people. Let’s start with 500,000 gold!

The villainess immediately put her hand on her button. It was a sign that she would buy it.

ㅡ No. 57. 700,000 Gold!

ㅡ Ah! Number 1 is 900,000 gold. That’s 900,000 gold!

#1 Is Shael. She is an evil woman who immediately makes a successful bid. Even in successful bids, she presses down with a ton of money.

Why on earth would you pay that much money to buy something like that? I can’t understand.

No, I think I will be able to predict where it will be used⋯.

“Where do you live for?”

“It’s a secret.”

“⋯Are you trying to spray me secretly?”

“⋯.”

She was a silent villain. It was meant to tease me. Did you come here to buy things to annoy me, like the snake beads I would have bought here?

—-Ah, next is the powder of haste! It was created by the fairies themselves for people who only think and do nothing!

Shael showed interest.

ㅡJust by spraying it, you can temporarily think of things in your head without hesitation. How good is this? Starting at 700,000 gold!

It was Shael who put her hand on the button right away. She is a rich, evil woman, Shael. Then, the winning bidder was determined.

ㅡ Ah! 1 Will win the bid for 2.5 Million gold!

I feel uneasy for some reason. Hopefully that won’t be written to me either. Another auction started before my anxiety even went away.

—-This time it’s a pill of lies! If you break it down and feed it, you will only be told lies! If you only tell lies, won’t you know the truth too?

This time, the successful bidder was Shael.

ㅡFinally here! Obedience Tree Sap! Of course, it’s impossible to make a target do something they completely refuse to do…But you can make it do anything else!

ㅡ#143, 2.5 Million gold!

ㅡ#1, 2.7 Million gold!

ㅡ#2, 3 million gold is out!

#1 Was Shael and #2 was me.

“⋯What is it, why are you trying to buy it?”

“Shouldn’t I have at least one thing against you?”

“⋯ Ha.”

ㅡ#1, 4 million gold is out!

Shael raised from 3 million gold to 4 million gold. She is, after all, the golden jade leaf of the duke’s family.

He is giving a lot of money to Shael.

“No more?”

“⋯.”

– This is also the bid for No. 1!

My total wealth was 3.8 Million gold. It was lower than the successful bid price that Sael immediately called. She was horribly defeated by the evil woman in the battle of capitalism.

After that, Shael bought quite a few things. The villainess… Has a lot of money.

After such a long time, she came out to the auction house and wandered the streets. However, something out of the ordinary happened.

“What are you doing?”

“⋯You can’t understand it when you see it? You’re giving it to eat.”

The villainess was handing me her sandwich. Absolutely unbelievable situation.

Still, my hand was still receiving the sandwich. Is the wicked woman getting better little by little?

Although Shael’s face is twitching… Ah, nothing will happen I ate the sandwich without thinking.

*

Shael was able to bid on several items. She was very happy, and there were many things that would help annoy her fiancé.

Yeah, shouldn’t she try it on once she bought it?

Pondering the words of her auctioneer, Shael took out the haste powder.

She then dusted the sandwich she just bought. It was meant to be given to Eran, her fiancé.

‘Notes…’

Was it a side effect of being able to become violent in case of overdose? Shael took it lightly.

Actually, she wasn’t insignificant. In case of overdose.. There was also a caution that the effect would be reduced.

Sharel’s strategy was like this. When Eran eats this, she will say as Shael takes out her snake orb.

If you lick her shoes, she will erase the marbles.

An act of complete submission. If it was normal Eran, she wouldn’t do it, but ⋯.

-‘Just by spraying it, you can temporarily think of things in your head without hesitation. How good is this?’

Yes, he will lick his shoes without thinking. Of course, he wouldn’t erase the snake’s orb just because he said that.

She went straight into action. Eran is eating the sandwich without question. Now it was her turn to speak as she took out her marbles.

*

Shael grinned and took out the snake beads.

“⋯Why are you taking out that marble?”

“Do you want to delete this?”

“Yes, are you going to erase it? Didn’t you promise to erase it if I lift your load today?”

It was a promise made after the auction. Ever since then she has been carrying her luggage. Will the wicked woman keep her promise?

“⋯Ah. I’ve changed my mind. Lick my shoes, and I’ll erase them.”

“⋯What?”

The villainess was mocking me and waiting for me to act. Of course, I couldn’t have done that.

I just had one good idea.

It was a good way to solve all sorts of problems.

It was a way to motivate her unwillingness to learn her magic, and also to take away her snake orbs.

She was the one who said that she would erase it if she lifted her luggage today. I wouldn’t even have thought of that.

I feel sorry for the villain a little bit. But surprisingly, unlike usual, it was possible because I didn’t feel guilty.

Did she learn her viciousness from the villain?

I don’t know what happened to my mind, but I couldn’t worry much about the evil woman’s urging.

“⋯I won’t erase you if you don’t do it quickly.”

What answered the wicked woman’s urging was a clear and elegant voice.

Chae Ae Ae Aeng!

A long echoing metallic sound. Considering that it was a sound that could only be heard in the arena, this was a somewhat unique sight.

It was the sound of my sword being pulled out. The wicked woman said in bewilderment.

“⋯ Eran?”

“Please put the marbles out now.”

“What…?”

It was the first time the villainess had been so flustered.

“⋯ Ha.”

I don’t know who’s the villain and who’s the villain… That wasn’t what mattered now.

Yes, this was the solution that would motivate the villain to learn her powers and take away her serpent orb as well.

If the villain catches her weakness, use her brute force.
