Taming The Villainesses

(EP-32.1) Pride #1

032 – Pride Of The Beast #1

In simple terms, Elga liked pretty and beautiful things.

Whether it was a man or a woman, an animal or an object, as long as it was good-looking, her hobby as a collector would kick in.

Of course, Elga herself had the financial resources for this.

Their pockets might not be as deep as the Belhawk Family’s, but the Lioness Family was still one of the wealthiest.

“Hey, Theo, how about this white hat? Do you think it’ll look good on me?”

Like usual, Elga was in a red dress. Currently, she was wearing a white and wide brimmed hat.

I already had more than a dozen hats and clothes hanging on my hands. The thought of adding another one made me want to die!

Of course, the young madam of the clothing store,「Wingwear」, was delighted with the unexpected appearance of a big spender, and gladly spouted sales talk.

“That’s a hat made from the silver bristles of a Barbary Lion. It provides a good cover from the summer sun, while keeping the rain and dew away.The feathers are from Long-Feathered Peacocks-.”

“Lion bristles? OK, I’ll buy this one too. It’s the perfect item for the Lioness’s eldest daughter!”

Finally, from breakfast to lunch, Elga ended up splurging about 30 gold coins.

In half a day, she spent two and a half years worth of living expenses for a family of four…

“Okay, Theo, shall we go to the shoe store next? I saw a place nearby where glass shoes were displayed, they’re my favorite!”

Glass shoes?

Another expensive luxury…

Anyway.

Getting dragged along for women’s shopping was more boring and tedious than expected.

Even so, I was able to endure because of Elga’s words this morning.

━After shopping, I’ll give you a nice reward!

A nice reward?

━Are you going to kiss me again?

━No, that’s not it~.

Being rewarded, but not with a kiss like the usual…

I couldn’t help but wonder what it was all about.

Maybe it would be a real reward this time!

Regardless, that could only mean good things, right?

So shouldn’t we finish the shopping as quickly as possible?

But looking at the situation, Elga would likely scour all of Gracia until the sun went down; buying all sorts of precious jewelry and clothes.

“Hey, Theo, what do you think of this glass shoe? Put it on for me.”

At this time, Elga, who was sitting on a chair in the shoe store, stretched something towards me.

It was her long leg.

Elga’s thigh and leg looked smooth under the slit of her red dress.

In particular, her beautiful ankle that extended from the calf and her small, dainty white foot was like works of art.

I put on the glass shoe and asked.

“Isn’t it uncomfortable? When I touched the shoe, it was really made of glass.”

“They say they’re shoes with dwarf magic. It’s not that uncomfortable. Rather, what I’m curious about is whether it is pretty or not. So? Does it look good on me?”

No matter what I said, Elga seemed to have already made up her mind to buy the shoes. So, was there really any meaning in asking?

I was dazzled by the price tag of 50 gold coins. And, despite knowing I shouldn’t bother with this, my mouth unconsciously said.

“Elga-nim’s legs are long and slender like a young deer’s, so whatever she wears would look pretty.”

“Wh- what are you talking about all of a sudden!?”

「Fatal temptation!

“Alright then, I’ll buy it! I’ll buy it with a check. Put the price on the Lioness Family’s tab.”

Elga got up from her seat with a flushed face, probably due to all the shopping.

However, the bearded dwarf shopkeeper, who was watching with anxious eyes from the side, embarrassedly said.

“I…, This product has already been reserved… For 50 gold coins….”

“Then I’ll offer 100 gold coins. That shouldn’t be a problem, yes? Besides, who could be more important than me, Elga Von Lioness? If anyone wants to complain, just say my name. I’ll take responsibility!”

“Aigo~ Thank you!”

The shopkeeper exclaimed with a smile.

━Hehe, now I can take a few years off!

The door was closed as soon as Elga left the store. That dwarf must be excited to spend the gold coins he earned today.

“Alright then, that’s enough shopping. It’s almost lunch time, shall we eat something? Theo, do you know which restaurant serves good food around here?”

Hello, I was also new here, so how would I know?

Anyway, I followed Elga and took a good look at every nook and cranny of Gracia City.

The clean and well-planned streets were built around the Temple and the Ark Academy, just like a dart target.

Because their Magic Engineering was extremely advanced, the streets were spotless. Looking closer, there was even something like circular robots roaming on the ground. I had no idea how it worked, so I chalked it up to fantasy magic…

It might have been nice if I had come on a trip.

“If you don’t know anywhere specific, how about going to a place I saw earlier?”

* * *

Elga led me into a shabby alleyway.

I actually thought it was going to be a place where I needed to pay ten gold coins for a meal…

Speaking of which, wasn’t Elga going deeper?

Jilpok, jilpok.

The muddy road had many holes, causing Elga’s glass shoes to get dirty in an instant.

“I think it was somewhere around here….”

However, Elga’s focus was on the signboards and not her feet. If left like this, she would definitely fall into a puddle.

Although I did want to see that kind of sight, it would be very terrifying if I had to take the full brunt of her anger.

“Pardon me for a moment.”

So, I grabbed Elga’s arm and pulled her towards me.

“Uh-!”

At the same time, Elga staggered and almost fell into my arms, but she managed to regain her balance and looked towards me.

“What are you doing?”

“I know this is uncomfortable, but there are puddles around. If you keep walking like this, your glass shoes are going to get dirty.”

“… I knew about the puddles. Moreover, these are already dirty.”

“Please put your foot on my knee. I’ll clean it.”

I knelt on one knee and placed Elga’s foot on my other lap. Then, I started wiping the mud off her shoe with a handkerchief.

Seukseuk.

“Hey! Everyone is looking! People will think I’m a picky girl!”

Elga twirled her hair and looked very embarrassed. But for me who worked for Aira, it was nothing to be ashamed of.

In fact, this was a regular thing I needed to do.

However, it seemed that Elga, who was not so aristocratic, had no tolerance for this type of matter.

“Next time, don’t do this, okay? Like really… I don’t think there’s much difference anyway….”

I couldn’t believe it. I was actually being asked to not help!

「Nonchalant help; a slick gentleman’s prurience.
