The Villainess in the Romance Fantasy Is Strange

29. To the sea alone (1)

The ruler of the sea, the wrath of the water dragon.

As soon as I put the two separate sentences together, it felt like my brain hardened.

That’s not the case with B-class dangerous dragons, but A-class dangerous water dragons.

Yeokrin is just one of the 81 scales attached to the body of the dragon species, and is the only vital point under the neck that is reversed. So, to cut it down has nothing to do with subjugating the water dragon.

As if I wasn’t the only one who realized that fact, Lia, who had been absent-mindedly, raised her head in surprise.

“Wait a minute! Venus, water dragon? Are you telling us to subdue the water dragon now?”

──It’s not subjugation, it’s said to cut down the evil and offer it to the altar. Baby

“No, that’s what-!”

Lea’s point was valid. This is because the dragon species is a monster with a fierce temper, and if there is a being who touches its evil, it is a monster that pursues until the end of its life.

So, one thing at a time. Even if we can cut down the evil without subjugating the water dragon, whenever Lia and I have to go to the beach, we must be afraid that the water dragon that remembered our smell might come after us.

In order to live with such anxiety, wouldn’t it be better to just subdue them neatly and get rid of the aftereffects?

“Lia-sama, please calm down.”

I grabbed Leah by the shoulder as she snorted excitedly.

Leah swung, turning her head to look at me.

“Cain, do I look real now? You heard what Venus-sama said, A grade. Subdue the Class A dangerous species! How can a dangerous species that can only be subdued by one knight corps clinging to it…… !”

“…… I have an idea.”

I placed her index finger on Lia’s lips and spoke my words only with the shape of her mouth.

‘Venus didn’t give a clue that it was just the two of us. So if you use that point.’

‘…… Ah! You mean it’s easy to get there with someone else’s help?’

‘Yes, that’s right.’

Leah opened her eyes wide and was delighted. I nodded her head and removed her index finger.

“Venus-sama, can I just cut down the water dragon’s wrath and bring it back?”

──That’s right, baby. However, there are conditions for this ordeal.

“Conditions?”

──Up to two people can face the water dragon. In other words, no one other than two of our babies can accompany us in this ordeal.

“No, wasn’t it just a matter of cutting it down?”

It was such an absurd condition that the original tone jumped out without me knowing.

My Goddess, I didn’t put these conditions until just now. Did you overhear our conversation?

──There is no point in passing the ordeal just by cutting it down. The ordeal imposed on the saintess and her escort knight is a challenge only for the two of them, but only the two of them must work together to overcome her difficulty. Isn’t that just a pointless waste of time?

Venus’s words were just the right argument, but it wasn’t like that for Lia and I, who accepted it.

“No, you are right! Venus-sama did that, saying he would give you an easy trial!”

“That’s right. Just the two of us, Lia-sama, how do we subdue the A-class dangerous water dragon? As Lia-sama said, Class A dangerous species are difficult enough to subdue only if one knight corps sticks to them.”

──My dear.

“Yes?”

──Too much humility makes you look arrogant…… ?

“… ….”

This time, in a different sense, it felt like my brain was hardening.

…… This goddess How much do you know?

I couldn’t respond to Venus’ words that seemed to pierce her lungs. I only licked her lips, and then Lia tapped my shoulder.

“Ah, Cain! Don’t be still and say something. Goddess is strange? Just you and me, how can we subdue the A-class dangerous water dragon…… !”

“Lia-sama.”

“Uh, huh?”

“Did you know that water dragons only live on the beach where the water is clear?”

“Ah, yes. You know, you’re talking about a place like the beach in Viscount Louis, right?”

“Yes, that’s right. The beaches of Viscount Lewis, famous for their clear and beautiful waters, are widely known to be frequented by water dragons. That’s why most people can’t even approach it.”

Lea blinked her eyes wide at my explanation-like words.

I’m complaining to the goddess Venus, but I’m looking at why I’m talking about such a thing out of the blue.

After I got up from my seat, I took Lia’s hand and helped her stand up. He whispered softly into Leah’s ear.

“So, wouldn’t it be the best place to go on a vacation away from the eyes of others?”

“Huh, vacation?”

“The sea in early spring in March is so pretty.”

I turned it around as much as possible, but I wonder if you managed to understand it again. Leah, her cheeks subtly blushed, hesitated a little, then she cleared her throat and opened her mouth.

“Well then what…. I can’t help it. Should I go to Viscount Lewis to subdue water or water dragons or something?”

“Yes, it should be. By the way, Viscount Lewis is a bit far from the Islands. It will take half a day no matter how fast it is, so it will take a day just for the round trip, and then even if I can’t.”

“I have to go to sleep for at least one night…… ?”

Lia muttered a little and glanced at me.

She has shining blue eyes, and for some reason, her eyes are strange-. She did

“Umm, over there…. Cain?”

“Yes, Lia.”

“Mi, I told you in advance. You shouldn’t do anything strange to me…… ?”

“No, no. Never.”

“…… There is no such thing as absolute!”

“…… ?”

Why are you angry?

* * *

“Hmm-.”

Lia’s mother who styled a hand fan that is popular among noble ladies these days. Mary von Eleves looked at me over the fan, revealing only her two pupils.

There is no blood line going anywhere, and her eyes are clear and big, and she looks very much like her daughter.

…… No, it’s the other way around. Leah looks exactly like her own mother.

The moment we were sitting across from each other and thinking such stupid thoughts. Tak, Lia’s mother folded the hand fan.

“So, what is the conclusion? Cain Reinhardt, do you want to go to the beach for 2 days and 1 night with our precious daughter-in-law?”

“Oh, no. It’s not that I’m just going to have fun, I’m saying that Lia-nim has never been to the beach. So, I thought it might be a good idea to use the weekend to go sightseeing around the beach…….”

“Okay, so you’re going to play. And with our precious daughter in my arms.”

“…… Mmm.”

I tried to make an excuse that I had no selfishness, but then I quit. To put it bluntly now, it seemed counterproductive.

I’m serious about being selfless, but there’s no way to explain this. It would be nice if I could turn my mind upside down, but of course that would be impossible.

I’m at a loss for what to say, so I’m kneading my wrists for no reason. Leah’s mother stared at me, then turned her head to see Leah.

“Lea, what do you think?”

“What do you think?”

“Yeah, I think. Isn’t the opinion of the person concerned important in this?”

Lea’s mother, who has a fairly open mindset for a central figure in a conservative aristocratic society, asked leisurely.

Leah wiggled her fingers and hesitated, then she glanced in the direction where I was sitting in her. Muttered with a face that showed that he was shy.

“Uh, what am I? I don’t think it’s bad… Yo. This? I think good things will happen if I go, and I think there will be fun…….”

I don’t know if they’re helping me or hindering me, and I’ve only lined up answers that seem to cause strange misunderstandings.

“Hmm, that’s a good thing.”

Lia’s mother smiles meaningfully as she brings the fan to her mouth.

“That, Mary. A good thing would mean nothing else, it would be a good opportunity to see the world.”

“Yes, I know. Doesn’t it mean anything other than that in the first place?”

“Ah, you knew…… ?”

But I don’t know why you keep looking at me with strange eyes. Her husband and wife are said to resemble each other, but is Leah’s mother also becoming more like her darling and her husband, Macmillan von Eleves?

They don’t look alike at all, but it’s probably not because of my mood that the two of them look superimposed.

Originally, they say that marriage is between each other. I’m finally realizing the meaning of those words, but Leah’s mother pointed at me with a hand fan.

“Well, that’s good. It will be a good time for Leah, Cain Reinhardt and you. But there are conditions. Make a pact with me again.”

“Ah, of course I will. If something goes wrong with Lia-sama, the responsibility lies with me and my family…….”

“No, not that.”

Leah’s mother turned her head away.

On one wall of the drawing room, there is the head of the Eleves family. There was a portrait of Macmillan von Eleves, whose reputation was that she was a bear-like fox.

“After Lia’s debut scheduled for July, Cain Reinhardt. You should meet with my boyfriend.”

“Yes?”

“Why, don’t you like it?”

Why, was the question I wanted to ask. If I said that now, it would be a journey, an ordeal, and everything would fall apart, right?

It was clear that there would be no more trouble if the original protagonist was disturbed and failed to pass the ordeal properly. I nodded my head politely.

“Yes. All right.”

“Okay, good. Then, I will allow you to take our Leah to the beach.”

“Ah, thank you for allowing me. No matter what I do, I will keep Lia-nim safe.”

“You don’t have to say the obvious… …. Leah?”

Muttering cynically, Lia’s mother took her eyes off me.

“Yes?”

“Wait a minute here.”

Lea and Lia’s mother, who are sitting close together, whisper and talk while covering their mouths with a fan.

-If you’re going to the beach with a guy, you definitely need a swimsuit….

-Yes, yes.

-The ready-made items will be tight here, so you have to adjust them with your own hands, and the most important thing is to keep Cain secretly….

-Ah, yes…….

“… ….”

I couldn’t hear it well because the sound was so low, but somehow this scene. I felt like I had seen it once.

When was that? Feeling a deep sense of deja vu, I was groping for her memories, but Lia stood up from her seat and grabbed her sleeve as if the conversation had just ended.

“All right, all right. Now let’s go to training, training. Cain.”

“Lia-sama, the training ground is not on that side, but on the other side… ….”

“…… Okay, okay Just follow me!”
