A corrupted female lead is overwhelmingly convenient.
#47
But true to a reserve villain overflowing with pride, he didn’t take back his words.
And so the mad wolf familiar became Sundol.
Screech!
‘Fine, fine. I’ll give you a name too.’
Screech screech!
‘That… later.’
Shriek shriek shriek!
The enraged black sparrow nearly tore all the hair from Daisy’s head.
In any case, from the training that continued last night, Sundol had given Felix his paw five times at an incredibly slow speed, eaten treats three times, and had even managed to ‘sit.’
It was a very successful result, except for the fact that if Felix didn’t pull his hand away very quickly when giving treats, a few of his fingers might disappear.
Once they trained ‘lie down’ as well, it seemed she could sufficiently convince the committee that Sundol wasn’t dangerous.
Though how the decision would fall, she had no idea.
‘That’s Felix’s problem to figure out.’
The important thing was that these days, Daisy had gone beyond merely being in a good mood—she’d acquired a remarkably generous disposition.
To the extent that she didn’t even glare at Jern Blythe when he spoke to her.
“I heard you pulled a really cute familiar.”
Screech huff.
At the words ‘cute familiar,’ a sinister laugh came from the bag tossed beside her.
Thud.
She gave the bag a light kick with her foot, and it fell silent.
“I heard you pulled a really disgusting familiar.”
Daisy said it kindly.
To be precise, she hadn’t heard it—she’d read it.
“Wow, I didn’t know you were so interested in me that you’d even learn about my familiar.”
Jern spoke with genuine admiration upon hearing those words.
Daisy, who had clenched her fists, expecting him to be sarcastic, was caught slightly off guard.
Jern actually seemed to be speaking sincerely.
‘What’s gotten into this bastard all of a sudden?’
While Daisy was scanning Jern from top to bottom with suspicious eyes, he took another step closer and opened his mouth.
“Want to see my familiar?”
Ah, that figured.
Only then did Daisy’s expression soften into relief, and she let out a snort.
Jern Blythe hadn’t changed.
Not then, and not now.
「”Daisy, how do you like my familiar?”
“…It’s beautiful.”
“Really? Want to touch it?”
“…Yeah, okay.”」
Foolish Daisy Seableart hadn’t said ‘no’ then either.
Slither.
In that moment, something slid smoothly from the nape of Jern’s neck.
A long body that gleamed ruby-red.
Dark crimson stripes.
A pointed head.
Black eyes.
And a forked tongue split in two.
Daisy watched as it held its head up stiffly in front of her eyes, past Jern’s shoulder.
It was a red viper.
While Daisy said nothing, she heard giggling from beside her.
“What’s this, not even surprised?”
“Isn’t she just frozen in shock?”
“Oh, maybe?”
“Still, Jern’s really something.”
“Why?”
“Don’t you know? She’s famous for having a snake phobia.”
“Really?”
“You haven’t heard the famous story about how she fainted at the tea party when she saw a snake made of stockings and walked around with a huge bump on her forehead?”
“Wow, so she’s definitely collapsed with her eyes open right now.”
‘No, he wouldn’t be like that now.’
Because right now, Jeorn was watching.
Daisy clicked her tongue silently at herself.
They were right.
In the original story, Daisy had a crippling fear of snakes.
But she never let it show in front of Jeorn.
Because he was always pulling out his summoned creature, and Daisy loved him for it.
Daisy did her best to hide her phobia from Jeorn.
Not knowing he already knew.
“Really, why do you keep pulling it out everywhere? It’s ridiculous. You’re terrified to the point of fainting, yet you try so hard to act like you’re not scared.”
And Daisy discovered that fact only when everything was already too late.
So what about Kwon Do-yo?
‘This is insane…….’
If Kwon Do-yo could just slip into the book, she would snap that long, thin neck without hesitation.
Of course, the long, thin neck referred to Jeorn.
The snake was innocent.
[Hissss.]
The scarlet viper thrashed its body, producing a sharp hiss.
It looked ready to strike at any moment, its fangs piercing Daisy’s throat.
“So? What do you think?”
Jeorn asked.
‘What do I think about what.’
Disappointing, just as expected.
“Not impressed.”
Daisy said.
She might owe an apology to the original Daisy, but Kwon Do-yo had no intention of giving her a fair chance from the start.
Presenting a snake in front of someone with a snake phobia and asking “What do you think?” was simply in poor taste.
“Not… impressed?”
Jeorn repeated, incredulous.
Daisy had to fight hard not to let out a scoff at the disbelief written across his face.
Apparently, he hadn’t expected to hear something so dismissive.
“Yeah, I’m not impressed.”
Daisy nodded coolly.
“I prefer something bigger and more dignified in color, to be honest. Fluffy fur would be even better—there’s something nice about petting it, you know?”
Our Soon-dol is exactly that type.
[Pop.]
In that instant, as if in acknowledgment, the bag at her feet began to swell.
This was ridiculous.
Kick.
[Squeak.]
When she kicked the bag again, it deflated with a pitiful cry.
“Anyway, red scales with no fur and nothing but length—that’s just not my taste.”
Daisy said firmly.
“…….”
But something felt off.
Why exactly did he look so disappointed?
Hadn’t he come here to tease her, knowing she hated snakes?
Or rather…….
‘Why are you disappointed?!’
Daisy noticed the viper approaching menacingly pause, its head drooping low, and felt a jolt of surprise.
An unexpected pang of guilt pricked at her chest.
Unlike Daisy, who had a snake phobia, Kwon Do-yo actually liked snakes a bit.
They were cute.
“I see…….”
Jeorn spoke in a subdued tone.
[Hisssss…….]
The viper made a dejected sound.
“…….”
Daisy fell silent, struck by the feeling that she had made a terrible mistake.
She had no idea how to break free from this awkward atmosphere…….
“But wait—does Daisy Seableheart actually have a snake phobia? She didn’t even blink talking in front of that viper.”
“That’s strange… I could’ve sworn I heard she did.”
“Come on, maybe the rumor got twisted somewhere.”
“No way! How famous is that rumor? Anyone who’s set foot in a social circle would know about it!”
Never mind that, then.
Not content with just startling her, he had to pile on guilt by playing ignorant.
Jern Blythe was truly irredeemable trash.
“Anyway, I’d really rather not see you again anytime soon.”
Sorry, snake.
It’s not your fault, but it can’t be helped.
When Daisy comes back, it’s going to be incredibly hard for her to look at you.
Without hesitation, Daisy turned on her heel and slipped out of the training grounds.
Unaware that Jern was watching her retreating figure with an odd expression.
“…Well, it can’t be helped.”
Jern reached out and gently stroked the viper’s jaw—drooping with disappointment—as he spoke.
“I’ll have to go through with the plan.”

“Hey, did you hear?!”
A student rushed into the classroom, shouting urgently.
‘There’s always a messenger like that in novels.’
Daisy nodded without turning around.
The student clearly had very important news to share.
“About Felix Arderon’s summoned beast!”
‘Right, as expected.’
It seemed the Committee had set a date for verification.
Since I still can’t do “play dead,” I’d have liked at least another week.
“They’re going to destroy it!”
“What?!”
Daisy let out a shocked cry without thinking.
What are they doing?!
Chapter 12. The Committee
“Those lunatics.”
She couldn’t believe it.
“Psychopaths without a shred of conscience!”
How could they just decide to kill our sweet, adorable Sundol?
Sundol is just a little large, has teeth that are a little sharp, and maybe wants to attack his master just a little!
With thoughts clouded by bias, Daisy clutched her head.
Perhaps because she’d been eating well-balanced nutrients lately, the luminous platinum hair cascaded like a waterfall through her fingers.
Daisy tried to think rationally.
The best-case scenario in the current situation was this:
One. Sundol dies.
Two. Felix becomes a debt-free, cold-blooded villain.
Three. Felix doesn’t help Daisy.
Conclusion. Daisy dies.
The original’s death route, drawn to perfection.
When the death route is the best-case scenario, you know the source material is bleak.
So what’s the worst-case scenario?
One. Sundol dies.
Two. In a short time, Felix grows attached to Sundol and becomes a debt-free, furious villain.
Three. Felix decides he’s going to kill Daisy.
Conclusion. Double the enemy factions trying to kill her!
Damn it.
Daisy racked her brain once more.
No matter how she looked at it, there was only one way out of this situation.
Keeping Sundol alive.
But how?
The Committee had already made their decision.
And the only person who could overturn that decision was…….
In that moment, a certain figure suddenly surfaced in Daisy’s mind.
