Ch.187[Chapter 187] Anomaly: Miss Sweet Sweet

“Excuse me, could you help me get out of here?”

Sir Dominic looked at the person buried in injeolmi powder.

A woman wearing a gothic lolita-style dress in pink, red, and purple colors, with a top hat adorned with candies and jellies.

Her long pink hair with white highlights and straight-cut bangs covered her eyes.

She had only her upper body sticking out of the injeolmi powder, unable to move due to the effects of the injeolmi storm.

“Don’t just stare… please… help… me… ugh.”

The woman was trying to push herself out with her exposed arms, but she lacked the strength to move at all.

People’s gazes turned to her as she pleaded for help in a mosquito-like tiny voice.

She must have been quite introverted, as her voice grew increasingly smaller while asking for help.

And… soon she began to sob.

“This wasn’t part of the plan… I was supposed to escape in style…”

The woman began to mutter in panic.

Though her long bangs made it impossible to see her eyes, she was clearly crying.

“…Could you be Miss Sweet Sweet?”

Sir Dominica asked.

Her outfit was filled with sweet things, as if strongly asserting herself.

“…If I say yes, will you help me out of here?”

The woman replied in a barely audible voice.

Sir Dominic and Sir Dominica looked at each other.

It seemed this woman was indeed Miss Sweet Sweet.

…

“Thank you. I almost got buried alive…”

Miss Sweet Sweet bowed at a 90-degree angle to express her gratitude.

Her bow was so proper that her hat floated in the air while only her upper body bent down.

When the top hat returned to its place on her head, she adjusted it and bowed once more.

“Are you really Miss Sweet Sweet?”

Sir Dominic asked Miss Sweet Sweet.

Sir Dominic couldn’t possibly imagine the confident villain from earlier in this shy girl before him.

“No matter how I look at it, your personality is completely different from before.”

Sir Dominica said.

Even to Sir Dominica, the villain from earlier and the current Miss Sweet Sweet seemed like completely different people.

“Well… I’m actually very introverted…”

Miss Sweet Sweet mumbled while fidgeting with her fingers.

“Um… I’m sorry, but… could I put on a disguise for a moment…?”

Miss Sweet Sweet asked in a tearful voice.

With her fragile heart, she simply couldn’t speak in the current situation.

“…Very well.”

Sir Dominic looked at Sir Dominica and Unryu Hime.

Both Sir Dominica and Hime nodded.

They had mountains of questions, but seeing Miss Sweet Sweet’s current state, it seemed impossible to ask her anything.

“Thank you…”

Miss Sweet Sweet bowed once more.

Then she took out a makeup toolkit from under her frilly skirt and began applying makeup to her face.

Miss Sweet Sweet pushed back her bangs, applied heavy foundation, added excessive blush to highlight her cheekbones, and put on intense red lipstick.

Finally, she took out a dropper, dabbed it on Sir Dominica’s brown hair, then took out a paint can and dumped it over her head.

The paint dripped down from Miss Sweet Sweet’s head.

And there stood… Sir Dominica in a pink gothic lolita-style dress.

“Phew. I can breathe now. I get very shy when my face is exposed.”

Miss Sweet Sweet smiled wickedly with Sir Dominica’s face.

A seductive smile by anyone’s standards.

The very definition of a femme fatale.

Sir Dominica’s face turned bright red.

“Would you stop making those expressions with my face?”

Sir Dominica angrily punched the wall.

The remaining injeolmi powder on the building fell in clumps.

“Well, if you insist.”

Miss Sweet Sweet nodded.

Teasing was always fun, but provocation wasn’t a good choice when completely captured.

“So-“

Sir Dominic spoke up, trying to bring order to this chaos.

“You are indeed Miss Sweet Sweet?”

“That’s right.”

Miss Sweet Sweet answered promptly.

“I am the villain, Miss Sweet Sweet, honey.”

Miss Sweet Sweet, with Sir Dominica’s appearance, began acting cutesy toward Sir Dominic.

However, Sir Dominic paid no attention to that and simply voiced his questions.

“Why on earth did you cause all this trouble in Gacha World?”

“Wow, seriously. You’re not a real man, are you?”

Miss Sweet Sweet jeered as if bored.

“Don’t you have anything else to say to someone as beautiful as me?”

“Just answer the question.”

Sir Dominic glared at Miss Sweet Sweet who was trying to change the subject.

Behind Sir Dominic, Sir Dominica was repeatedly hitting the wall trying to contain her embarrassment, while Hime turned away, trying to suppress her laughter at this farce.

“How boring.”

Miss Sweet Sweet slumped as if deflated.

Why would anyone love someone like him? Miss Sweet Sweet muttered.

“Well, I actually did it for fun.”

“For fun?”

“More precisely, it’s part of a project, but I acted on my own initiative.”

Miss Sweet Sweet started blabbering about everything.

“So all the strange weather phenomena were…”

“Yes.”

Miss Sweet Sweet promptly answered Sir Dominic’s question.

“I did everything because I wanted to. Why? Because I’m a villain.”

Miss Sweet Sweet struck a seductive pose with Sir Dominica’s appearance.

Sir Dominica immediately reached for her gun but calmed down thanks to Hime’s intervention.

“…Fine. A motiveless crime. Perhaps that’s sufficient for a villain’s motive.”

Sir Dominic accepted Miss Sweet Sweet’s explanation.

But there were still many questions remaining.

Sir Dominic voiced one of them.

“By the way, why did you disguise yourself as Lady Hime? I understand you’re too shy to show your real face, but why specifically Lady Hime?”

“Oh my. That’s right. Why did I choose Miss Hime?”

Miss Sweet Sweet giggled flirtatiously.

But Sir Dominic remained unmoved.

This isn’t working either, Miss Sweet Sweet thought, and continued with a bored tone.

“Well… it seemed fun. After all, I am Miss Sweet Sweet, right? I love sweet candies, jellies, and also sweet relationships like ‘honey~’ and ‘sweetie~’ and ‘darling~’.”

Miss Sweet Sweet deliberately added a nasal tone when saying the terms of endearment.

The cutesy behavior completely mismatched with Sir Dominica’s strong appearance, causing Sir Dominica to grab her neck and collapse.

Surprisingly, her actions were impactful enough to even bring down Sir Dominica, the tank.

“…So.”

Even Sir Dominic frowned at the terribly awkward display.

“What’s the exact reason?”

“Well… the girl most in love in Gacha Land right now is-“

“Stop! Stooop! Cease!”

Hime frantically waved her hands and feet to stop Miss Sweet Sweet from speaking.

Fox ears had already popped up on her head.

“If you say any more, I’ll use my family’s power to make you regret it.”

Hime glared at Miss Sweet Sweet.

“…My goodness. How scary. I’m too frightened to speak properly now.”

Miss Sweet Sweet snickered.

Sweet things really are the best, she thought.

“Well, fine. It seems I can’t answer that question due to someone’s strong request.”

“…Is that so?”

Sir Dominic clicked his tongue in disappointment.

“Anyway…”

Sir Dominic looked alternately at Sir Dominica, who was getting up with trembling legs, and Hime, whose face was completely red as she violently wagged her tail, then said:

“If we continue this conversation, others might be in danger. It seems to be causing psychological damage…”

Sir Dominic drew his shield.

“Give up and surrender now, Miss Sweet Sweet.”

“I gave up long ago.”

Miss Sweet Sweet, still in Sir Dominica’s form, stretched her arms toward Sir Dominic.

And with a love-filled expression, she taunted Sir Dominic.

“So, can you subdue me while I look like Sir Dominica- oof.”

Sir Dominic instinctively swung his shield at Miss Sweet Sweet’s cutesy face.

It wasn’t just a swing.

He hit her philtrum precisely with the edge of the shield.

A truly magnificent strike born from pure instinct!

Miss Sweet Sweet collapsed on the spot from that blow.

Sir Dominic walked steadily toward the fallen Miss Sweet Sweet.

“You tried to launch a mental attack on me too…”

Sir Dominic looked down at Miss Sweet Sweet who was sprawled like a frog.

She still had Sir Dominica’s face, but Sir Dominic’s expression remained unchanged.

“A true knight must be able to resist any temptation.”

Sir Dominic declared proudly.

Hime sighed at those words.

Meanwhile, Sir Dominica was still hitting the wall in embarrassment, unable to escape from Miss Sweet Sweet’s mental attack.
