The Villain’s Sister Suffers Today

Episode 100

Translator : Missme

Editor : Aru

“Ari?”

As soon as I stepped on the site of the mansion, I caught a familiar figure jumping out from the inside.

The brown eyes looked up at me.

“I’ve been waiting!”

“…here? all the way?”

“Yes!”

It’s not that Ari really sat in the mansion for a few days waiting for me to come back.

As soon as Ari found me and ran out, the butler finally looked as if he was losing his old burden.

I smiled awkwardly when I recalled how Ari’s usual free spirit behaviour violated the butler’s strict standards.

“Since when have you been waiting at the mansion?”

“As soon as I got a letter from you, eonni.”

What? That early?

‘Butler, you must have suffered…….’

Suddenly, the butler looks much cooler.

It seemed as if I could see something.

“First of all, let’s get in. I have a lot to say.”

Ari was in my arms for a few hours and soon whispered to me, looking around the snow that lay around her.

I nodded.

“Okay.”

I could not feel any fatigue even though I moved the long-distance using such convenient means of moving by grinding the sorcerers.

I simply changed my clothes and immediately sat face to face with Ari in the parlour room.

Ari looked at me with her both hands on the table.

“Eonni, what the hell happened?”

“Um…”

I wrote a simple letter, but I’m sure it needs more explanation.

‘Where should I begin to explain it?’

It would be best to just talk in chronological order.

I have either hidden what’s been going on with me or just plainly confided.

“…that’s what happened.”

After the story, Ari’s eyes staring at me were wide-eyed.

“Eonni, that means… ….”

Ari covered her mouth with trembling hands as if she could not believe it.

“That means you’ve been struggling in vain all this time!”

“……”

“Since the first time I died a tight death on the clock tower in the square, you saved my life with beads!”

“……”

“No, ever since you stole beads from the temple of time on the premise of running away!”

“……”

“Maybe even before that, since you first read the spring of Agrita in the old library….”

“Stop it.”

I buried my face in the palm of my hand and sighed before correcting some of Ari’s words.

“How can it be in vain to save you? No, it’s meaningful in itself.”

“Eonni…....”

“So stealing beads from the temple of time is not a waste of time.”

“But since I couldn’t die, You’ve been through a lot, right? Especially the more recent when I’ve come.”

“…….”

“You were worried you were going to die, and you were preparing to run, and everything you went through trying to run away was in vain.….”

“……Stop.”

“I can express it in other words. So-called pointless…….”

“That’s enough.

I removed my palm and opened my eyes, and Ari finally shut her mouth. Soon Ari laughed her head off.

“Just kidding. Congratulations, eonni, that’s great.”

“………”

“Actually, I was so happy that I was playing around.”

“You are happy?”

Ari nodded. Then she held the flower cup with both her hands and said,

“I always thought that way. I wish eonni was happy. Anything is good, so I would be very happy if I could congratulate you.”

“….”

“From the time you let me live and worry and help me, consuming those precious beads.”

“…….Ari.”

“It feels like a wish has come true. I congratulate you sincerely.”

My heart was touched. The tip of my nose frowned. I spared my words for a moment to conceal it.

“Huuu, I think I’m really your best younger sister. Don’t you think so?”

“My younger sister, when did that happen?”

“Sister, when it comes to younger siblings, it’s all like that. Oh, isn’t it going to be considered as a competitor by the villain that you’re going to die without even realizing it? No, he’s not even your brother anymore.”

Ari spoke outspokenly and winked one eye at me.

I blushed slightly and then burst into laughter. No, what the hell with that clumsy wink?

She must not be used to winking. Why is she using all her facial muscles when she only blinks one eye?

“Why are you laughing?”

“No.”

“By the way.”

Ari loosened the flower cupboard and put her arms across the table. Ari’s expression changed.

“When I heard your story, I thought, is this really the best part of the novel?”

“…what are you talking about?”

“You know.”

Ari went on speaking with a serious look that lost her laughter.

“There are so many things that have changed from the book. It’s the relationship between eonni and the villain and also with the enchanted cloth.”

“….. .”

“I think that the change made by taking over the body of the female protagonist has nothing to do with it, right?”

“That’s… …right.”

Definitely.

I agreed with Ari. Actually, that was a question that I had vaguely thought of.

Ash, who knows that I’m not his real sister, shows more affection for me than to kill me.

A temple made a cloth that can control monsters.

All of them are out of line with the book, regardless of the existence of Ari.

‘The latter may not have been revealed, to be exact.’

Perhaps even in the book, the cloth of fascination had this ability.

So, I don’t know the details, but if the prince who sensed some danger burned it in the book.

‘That’s more plausible.’

Rather than the fact that a prince was blinded by jealousy, he blindly burned the gifts of the temple.

‘But then why does the book describe it as being jealous? As if the narrator didn’t know the inside of the Crown Prince……….’

But that’s ridiculous. More than just a novel.

“Well, there’s no way to confirm whether this question is true or not.”

“……so does that.”

“It doesn’t change much, even if it’s not in the novel.”

Ari sighed rather sceptically, speaking.

Then it was the next moment when she suddenly banged down the table.

“That’s right, eonni!”

“What’s wrong?”

“You know what?”

“What?”

I was surprised at the sudden change of spirit. The puzzled reply was followed by a voice of remembrance.

“They found the culprit who stole the beads from the temple!”

“What?”

If I was drinking tea, I would have let out a nasty spurt. I thought it was fortunate that there was nothing in my mouth or hand at the moment.

“No, they said they were looking for the culprit, to be exact. There’s a lot of fluff going around.”

“The culprit…….”

“But he was a man.”

“What?”

Ari lowered her posture. She pulled her head towards me, covered her mouth with her hands and whispered.

“It’s a man with a very ordinary appearance, too. It’s so common on the street that it looks like a crayfish.”

“……..”

“Oh, let’s start with how the temple learned that the marbles were gone. It was because the beads were released as stolen goods in the market.”

“Stolen goods?”

“Yes. So I tracked down the route of how the beads came out of the stolen goods, and when I questioned the pickpocket, he confessed that the identity was a ma.”

‘No way.’

“Eonni did you say that the beads were stolen from a village where only bandits were gathered?”

“……yes.”

“At that time, eonni said that you looked like a man without fail because you had magic in disguise.”

“That’s right.”

Ari looked at me with a cautious look.

She spoke in a grave voice.

“Good for us.”

“…….. “

“There’s no one left to know that the man was you that way back then, right? You said they were all dead. That’s a definite silence.”

“……..”

“It’s a pity for the people who died, but in the end, it’s good. Eonni and I have no more things to be caught. I’m glad.”

I know right………

I couldn’t keep up with the unexpected development and just blinked.

***

‘Although there’s a saying that it’s a blessing in disguise.’

Still, I didn’t expect it to be like this.

I can’t believe the marbles in that town were pickpocketed and helped in this way.

Certainly, as Ari said, most people who knew that I was magic-changing my appearance at the time are dead.

“The sorcerer who cast the spell on me is alive and well, but I don’t think she’ll sell me out.”

If she had done so, she wouldn’t have come to me in person and helped me go down to the south.

It was a wonderful feeling.

‘Well, that’s a good thing, anyway.’

And I feel like I got some hints about how to tell the imperial family about the enchanted cloth.

A stolen good in the market, that’s a really good excuse. I indeed stole it, but I just have to say that I didn’t.

‘That was good.’

The trouble that had been hanging over my mind was solved, and I decided to head straight to the imperial court the next day as soon as it dawned.

But the decision was not translated into action.

The next morning, there was a visitor to the mansion from the early hours after the sun rose.

“Hello.”

He even said he came to see me. I was taken to the parlour room and mysteriously faced my opponent.

“Excuse me, who are you?”

A neat, brown-haired, a somewhat gentle-looking eye with a slight downward end. It was my first time seeing him. The slender figure stood up as soon as he saw me.

Then he bowed politely to me.

“I’m here to pick you up. Princess.”
