A villainess with a dark turn is overwhelmingly convenient.
#35
A man wearing sharp-edged green-tinted spectacles gripped a teacup that still held residual warmth.
The gentle heat transmitted through his palm seemed to melt through his entire body.
“Mm.”
The man exhaled a satisfied murmur and buried himself in a thick quilted cloak of mingled yellow and pink floral patterns.
Orfelias Murdergus, vice principal of Eldvain Academy, was indulging in a rare moment of respite.
Of course, many events still awaited them early in the semester, and one was even underway today.
But Orfel wasn’t worried.
What calamity could befall an event where students merely drew lots for rabbits or cats?
Well, a few years back when Kaelen Sablehart had drawn a horse, there had been some commotion…….
“A remarkably handsome stallion it was. Obedient too.”
Then Orfel recalled the camel the crown prince had drawn, and his expression darkened for a moment.
Though even that camel had been quite manageable, except for its habit of constantly spitting on the ground.
Summoned beasts, after all, obeyed their masters’ commands as faithfully as their own lives.
So today, he would savor this magnificent respite.
Slurp.
Having savored one last satisfying sip, Orfel placed the saucer over the still-warm teacup.
Then he spun it seven times through the air.
He was reading the tea leaves.
Incidentally, the question Orfel asked when reading the leaves was always the same.
“When will that dog of a principal finally kick the bucket?”
Tap.
The vice principal set down the saucer and examined the shape of the tea-leaf sediment remaining in the cup with great interest.
“Wait, this is……!”
Bang!
The vice principal bolted upright, and simultaneously came the sound of his chair toppling and the office door being thrust open with force.
“Disaster! A wolf has appeared!”
“Disaster! A wolf has appeared!”
“What?”
“Huh?”
“You knew about it?”
At the bewildered staff member’s question, Vice Principal Orfel opened his mouth with the same perplexed expression.
“That’s what I should be asking you! How did you find out? That a wolf had appeared?”
So that meant…….
“……it was in my teacup.”
“……it was in the courtyard.”
“…….”
“…….”
“Which was it?”
* * *
“Ahhhhh!”
“Get out of the way!”
“No! Run!”
“Everyone, stay calm and proceed in order, ugh, in an orderly fashion!”
“The Raven’s Hall! The Raven’s Hall students head this way!”
Eldvain Academy’s courtyard, which had been bustling moments before, descended into chaos in an instant.
The younger students scrambled desperately to escape through the colonnades in a panic, while the senior students fought to maintain order among them.
And at the center of all this turmoil was the wolf.
A frame so massive it rivaled a horse.
Sleek ashen fur.
Eyes that gleamed with a sharp golden light.
And…….
Grrrrrowwwwl!
“Look at those teeth…….”
Vicious.
Standing in line behind the students fleeing down the colonnade, Daisy swallowed hard.
Fortunately, the wolf was still bound by a magical circle, its teeth bared and its head lowered, ears pinned back.
Understanding that body language wasn’t difficult.
The wolf was poised to tear apart anything that came before it.
“Wait, a summoned creature can emerge in this agitated a state?”
Daisy muttered the words in a tone that made her bewilderment plain.
Summoned creatures, regardless of their form, were supposed to offer unconditional obedience and loyalty to their master.
Her own frail sparrow had not risked its life to deliver the master’s note without hesitation?
But that wolf…….
‘It doesn’t seem to recognize its master at all.’
Daisy’s gaze turned toward the figure standing before the magic circle.
“Cough! Cough…….”
Kneeling before the magic circle was none other than Felix Arderon.
His dark hair was half-soaked.
It wasn’t difficult to discern what had drenched it.
“Hack! Hack!”
With each harsh cough, blood came pouring out in handfuls.
Watching the scene unfold, Daisy couldn’t help but wince.
‘He’s going to cough himself to death at this rate.’
Snap! Snap!
‘That is, unless the wolf tears him to shreds first.’
Daisy observed the wolf, bound by the light of the magic circle and barking ferociously, turning the thought over in her mind.
The wolf’s eyes were rolling half-back in its head as it bared enormous fangs at Felix standing before it.
The moment any gap appeared, it looked prepared to lunge at Felix’s throat and tear it out.
But Daisy wasn’t particularly worried.
It was natural for the children to be terrified at the sight of a wolf the size of a house, but common sense dictated—where exactly was this place?
Wasn’t this Eldvain Academy, the world of magic, dreams, and fantasy?
In other words, something like this should be handled by the professor…….
“Where did he go?”
Daisy checked the space beside the magic circle and blinked involuntarily.
The spot where the alchemy professor should have been standing was empty.
Surely not…….
“Did he run away?!”
Daisy surveyed her surroundings.
The professor was nowhere to be seen.
“Damn, what irresponsibility……!”
She’d had a bad feeling about him from the moment they first met.
Daisy clenched her fists.
The corridor, with all the students fled, held only herself, Felix, and a raging wolf.
Tap.
Daisy’s foot crossed the threshold of the corridor’s door.
Once she stepped beyond this doorway, she would be safe.
…….
But strangely, her feet refused to move further.
“Come on, Daisy, think about this rationally.”
Even if the professor had disappeared, the other faculty would certainly have heard about this disaster by now.
“So they’re bound to come clean it up.”
And her presence here would only be a hindrance.
There was nothing she could do—she who could barely manage to conjure spicy chicken.
“So don’t act like an idiot.”
In the original story, Daisy had acted foolishly, and it had led to her death.
So this time, she had to be selfish.
A life of joy and happiness lived alone.
That was Daisy Seibleheart’s only goal…….
Snap!
In that instant, the sound of something tearing rang out through the courtyard.
Daisy’s head turned around involuntarily, and she drew a sharp breath.
The chain of light binding the wolf’s front leg had been severed.
Snap! Snap!
Freed of one limb, the wolf thrashed about with even greater ferocity.
At that, the chains of light binding the remaining three legs grew thin, looking as though they might snap at any moment.
“Damn…….”
Daisy let out a soft curse.
Before that wolf lay a small pool of blood.
Felix Arderon held his heart in his grip, his complexion drained of all color and tinged with sickly blue.
The wolf, having caught the scent of blood, thrashed its front paws with brutal force.
The razor-sharp claws came within a whisper of Felix’s shoulder.
“Blast it all!”
Daisy shoved her hair back roughly and spun on her heel, bolting forward.
Toward the wolf.
“How could you ignore me like that!”
Growl-growl! Snap!
“Shut it! You stupid wolf—can’t even recognize your own master!”
Grab.
Daisy seized Felix’s arm and wrenched him back.
“Hgh……”
When Felix lifted his head, his bloodshot gray eyes lingered for a moment on Daisy’s face.
“Arderon! Get a hold of yourself!”
“……Get away……”
Felix thrust out his hand to push her aside.
But the push was so feeble it wouldn’t have budged a feather, let alone moved Daisy.
“Heave!”
The moment Daisy hoisted the limp Felix to his feet and slung his arm across her shoulders—
Crack. Snap.
Sounds that sent ice down the spine came in quick succession.
And then……
Growl-growl-growl.
At that low, menacing rumble, Daisy slowly turned around.
The wolf had plunged its snout into the pool of blood and now approached with its muzzle drenched scarlet, teeth bared, body lowered in a stalking crouch.
“Hah.”
Daisy clenched her jaw.
“So it comes to this, does it?”
She dropped Felix to the ground behind her and spoke.
“Come on then. Let’s see what you’ve got.”
Growl-growl, snap!
In that instant, the wolf launched itself from the ground and charged.
Without so much as a blink, Daisy watched those closing fangs and set her stance.
And then,
just as she was about to throw a full-swing punch with her small fist—
Whirrr—!
Thwick!
Clang!
A black sphere fired like lightning from Daisy’s chest whipped across the wolf’s right cheek.
Then something suddenly sprouted from the black sphere.
Flutter-flutter.
Tiny wings.
And the black sphere fluttered on those little wings, settling between the wolf and Daisy.
As if standing as a barrier between them.
Watching this sight unfold, Daisy let out a long sigh and cried out,
“I’m losing my mind—why are you here again!”
Chirp-chirp.
A small, black sphere with wings.
It was none other than the summon that Daisy had conjured.
