Chap 61-Reap What You Sow

 

After parting ways with Bella, I walked towards the dormitory with a still-complicated heart.

The strange forgetfulness Bella showed earlier ended up being nothing much, but…

Even though she said she was fine, her last appearance as she hurriedly returned to her room, seemingly confused, bothered me.

‘Was it just simple forgetfulness?’

I also sometimes forget very trivial things… Maybe that’s all it was?

I hope it’s nothing serious.

Thinking that, I was walking down the dormitory hallway when another thought suddenly occurred to me.

‘Ah, come to think of it, the experiment results. I wonder if they’re out?’

I didn’t know what Elise could find out with my blood, but I was still a little curious.

It would be nice if I could find a clue about this damn body.

With that expectation, I opened the door to our room.

And…

“Ah.”

A short sigh escaped me without realizing it.

The room was, as always, no, perhaps even more messy and dirty than usual.

Elise’s alchemy tools and unidentified materials were scattered everywhere, and the pungent smell of chemicals stung my nose.

Up to this point, it was a familiar sight, but…

Something was a little different.

Elise’s experimental tools, which had at least been gathered in one corner before, were now arranged in a bizarre formation in the middle of the room, as if forming a barricade.

Test tubes and beakers were precariously stacked, and faint lines were drawn on the floor with an unidentified powder.

As if… marking territory.

“…….”

I stared at the grotesque sight with a dumbfounded expression.

And beyond that line, I met Elise’s eyes, sitting on her bed and glaring at me coldly.

“Um… Elise? What is this…”

Before I could ask, she spoke first.

Her voice was different from her usual timid one, cold and contemptuous.

“From now on, don’t even think about crossing this line. You lesbian trash.”

“……!”

‘Should I just hit her?’

I sincerely had that thought.

But I barely suppressed the murderous impulse and gritted my teeth.

“…It’s not like that.”

I tried to speak as calmly as possible, but Elise was still glaring at me with wary eyes.

I sighed deeply and stopped trying to talk to her, moving towards my bed.

Carefully avoiding crossing the ridiculous line she had drawn.

“I’m not going to cross it, so stop glaring at me?”

I said, sitting on the bed.

But Elise didn’t even pretend to hear me and continued to be wary of me.

‘Why is she acting like this?’

I looked at her with a pathetic expression and then asked what I had originally been curious about.

“So, what about the experiment results? Did anything come out?”

At my question, Elise paused for a moment.

“What experiment…? Ah! That…”

“So, what’s the cause?”

I urged.

“The reason my body can resist Contamination. Did you find out anything?”

Elise hesitated for a moment, then shook her head and said weakly.

“I don’t know. No matter how much I analyze it… it was just completely the same as ordinary people. There was nothing special about it.”

Hmm… I had kind of expected it.

In the first place, it was obvious that transcendent beings had intervened with my body, so it would have been difficult to find anything here.

When I didn’t show any particular reaction, Elise suddenly looked at me cautiously and opened her mouth hesitantly.

“Um… so… since nothing came out with just the blood… ah, maybe… our family… will take you to study you in more detail…”

Her voice was trembling anxiously.

“Well, there’s nothing I can do about that.”

I shrugged my shoulders and replied.

“I was going to go to Rapelasia after the midterm exams anyway, so what’s new.”

‘…Why is she so wary of me?’

Elise looked frustrated at my nonchalant reaction.

She hesitated for a moment, then opened her mouth again as if she had made up her mind.

“If you go to our family… you might really… have a rough time! Not just drawing some blood! Maybe…”

“Hmm…”

I rested my chin on my hand and looked at her.

“Are you worried about me, right now?”

I smiled faintly, as if I was impressed.

“W-Worried? Don’t be ridiculous!”

Elise shouted and turned away, lying down.

I didn’t miss the fact that the tips of her ears were slightly red.

“I-I’m just… if someone who used to share a room with me ends up in a strange situation… I might have bad dreams! Don’t get the wrong idea!”

‘Kind and fragile.’

To worry about trash like me to that extent.

But this damn world will never leave such a kind child alone.

It can’t be helped.

I’m an evil villain, after all.

And that villain could easily ignore the promise she had just made.

I quietly got out of bed and lightly crossed the ridiculous ‘line’ that Elise had drawn.

“…!”

Perhaps sensing my movement, Elise turned her head back towards me.

Her eyes widened with bewilderment and fear.

“You… what are you doing! I told you not to cross that line!”

Honestly, I was a little scared.

When I absorbed Elise’s curse last time, my condition was definitely not normal.

That intense and uncontrollable pleasure.

Well… if it seems as dangerous as it was then, I can just blow my head off… I wonder if it will work out somehow?

As I got closer and closer, Elise cowered into the corner of the bed with a terrified expression.

“…Don’t come any closer! Go away!”

The ominous wave of Contamination felt near her heart.

It had been quiet for a while…

Now she’s going to make the curse go berserk?

And at a time when it’s just the two of us?

It was quite suspicious, but what could I do?

I couldn’t just leave Elise like that.

Her trembling breath and terrified eyes were right in front of me, but…

Like an evil villain, I didn’t hesitate any longer and slowly reached out towards Elise’s heart.

…

“You… what are you doing! I told you not to cross that line!”

Elise shouted in terror, but Yeon Bennet didn’t care and was approaching her, nonchalantly crossing the line she had drawn.

The rumors were true.

A hopeless villain, a crazy woman who doesn’t understand common sense.

She resented herself for trusting such a woman and continuing to share a room with her defenselessly.

“…Don’t come any closer! Go away!”

Elise cried desperately, but Yeon didn’t even pretend to hear her and came closer and closer.

That expressionless face and empty eyes felt more terrifying to Elise than any ferocious magical beast.

“Why… why are you doing this? If you have something to say, say it from there, from a distance!”

Elise tried to hide the trembling in her voice as much as possible, but her voice was already full of fear.

‘Could it be… could it be that the guess I made earlier was real? Am I really the next target?’

Of course, it wasn’t entirely unfounded.

The way Yeon looked at Bella or the sinister gazes she had shown her.

But to be honest, she had exaggerated a little because she wanted to tease Yeon more because she found her reaction funny.

But as expected… Terra’s worst villain, as rumored.

Unfortunately, Elise’s terrible guess seemed to be coming true.

And seeing Yeon slowly, but without hesitation, reaching out towards her chest, Elise became convinced of her guess.

That look, that touch. There was no doubt.

“Go away!”

Elise screamed and resisted, roughly pushing away Yeon’s hand.

But Yeon didn’t budge.

Rather, as if she had expected Elise’s resistance, she quickly climbed on top of Elise and pinned her arms down with force.

It happened in an instant.

Elise couldn’t do anything under Yeon’s body, which was pressing down on her.

‘Ugh, why is she so strong?’

Elise was shocked.

Wasn’t Yeon Bennet clearly a troublemaker with poor grades at the academy?

She had never heard that she was skilled in magic or martial arts.

Even though she couldn’t properly use her specialty, magic or alchemy…

Elise couldn’t help but be shocked by the fact that she had been so easily, and completely, incapacitated by a troublemaker who was at the bottom of the academy.

Yeon didn’t care about her resistance and slowly reached out towards Elise’s chest again.

In a situation where she was suppressed by Yeon and couldn’t move, Elise could only watch as her hand approached.

Shame, fear, and anger mixed together, turning her mind blank.

‘Should I use magic… should I use magic?Elise desperately thought.

But using magic inside the academy dormitory, especially towards a student, was naturally strictly prohibited.

In the moment of hesitation.

Squish-

Yeon’s cold hand touched Elise’s left breast accurately.

At that moment, Elise was overwhelmed by a terrible feeling that something very dirty and sticky was blooming inside her body.

Following that, an unbearable humiliation and disgust, as if she was being forcibly deprived of something most precious to her.

There was no need to worry any longer.

Elise instinctively released all the remaining magical power towards Yeon.

Bang!

Yeon’s body was thrown back as it was by the sudden explosion of magical power.

Yeon, who had crashed violently into the wall, collapsed powerlessly to the floor.

“Cough…! Cough…”

And the next moment, the fallen Yeon suddenly began to cough violently and vomit blood.

Dark red blood poured from her mouth, soaking the floor.

‘What? It wasn’t that strong of a magic?’

Elise was flustered.

Of course, it was an aggressive release of magical power, not a defensive magic, but it wasn’t powerful enough to make someone vomit blood like that.

Moreover, where did all the monstrous strength that had easily subdued her go, and why did she collapse so futilely?

A strong question arose in Elise’s mind.

Just then, the dormitory door opened roughly and the dorm supervisor rushed in.

“What’s all this commotion… huh! ”

The dorm supervisor was startled and couldn’t speak after seeing the scene unfolding in the room.

Seeing the suddenly appeared dorm supervisor, Elise’s body froze.

Her heart was pounding at the thought that what she had done had been discovered.

However, the dorm supervisor looked back and forth between the fallen Yeon and Elise, then clicked her tongue at Elise and said.

“Tsk tsk… It seems that that troublemaker has caused another accident, Lady Elise. Are you alright?”

“Yes? Ah, yes… I’m fine…”

Elise replied in a fluster.

The dorm supervisor seemed to think that Yeon was the one who had done wrong.

‘Yes, this is not my fault. If that woman hadn’t tried to touch me in the first place…!’

Elise rationalized herself and nodded.

Yeon was still lying on the floor, vomiting blood as if in pain, but the dorm supervisor didn’t even look at her.

Rather, she said as if she was being a nuisance.

“Student Yeon Bennet. 3 demerit points will be added for this commotion. With a total of 11 demerit points, we will hold a disciplinary committee as per regulations.”

The dorm supervisor didn’t even think about listening to Yeon’s reply, roughly grabbed the arm of the fallen Yeon, and went out of the room.

The appearance of Yeon being dragged out gradually disappeared from Elise’s sight.

‘…It’s just reaping what you sow.’

Elise turned around, thinking coldly.

Anyway, it was just something she had brought upon herself…

Author’s words

I have slightly revised the monologue part of Bella in episode 59!

It was the part I originally intended to describe, but I was so distracted that I missed it…

Of course, you don’t have to watch it again, but it will be a little more helpful in understanding episode 60.

I’m sorry for the confusion…
