A Villainous Heroine Was Overwhelmingly Convenient
#51
Daisy couldn’t contain her restlessness and wandered through the Dormitory Hall.
The students from the Labyrinth in the Dormitory Hall regarded her oddly, but she paid them no mind.
By now, a decision would have been made.
Whether to make Soon-dol disappear or not.
“Sigh…….”
Daisy drew a deep breath and roughly swept her hair back.
She desperately hoped that the image of Soon-dol she’d seen that morning wouldn’t be the last.
‘Soon-dol.’
Boss, yes!
‘I’m sorry for hitting you last time.’
Boss, it’s fine!
‘I’m ashamed to ask, but I hope you’ll do me a favor for just today.’
Boss, what is it!
‘Follow him and treat him the way you treat me.’
Boss, that’s impossible!
‘What did Soon-dol say? You understand, right?’
‘…….’
Felix never told her what the response was, but Daisy stroked Soon-dol’s gray fur anyway.
If Soon-dol was satisfied, she might get a better outcome.
She tried not to think that this might be the last time.
She was certain she would be able to stroke this fur again.
‘Going forward, I’ll keep…….’
Just as Daisy was thinking this way, a sudden realization flickered through her mind, and she lifted her head sharply.
Wait—to keep seeing someone else’s summon meant, ultimately…….
Before Daisy could finish her thought, she was interrupted.
A boy who looked somewhat tired entered the Dormitory Hall.
Tall, with black hair and a face handsome enough to take one’s breath away.
It was Felix Ardearon.
The chatter that had filled the Dormitory Hall died like cold water had been thrown over it.
“So the Verification…….”
“How did it go……?”
“It’s certain to be Disappearance…….”
Whispered murmurs rippled softly through the silence.
It had long since become common knowledge across the Academy that Ardearon’s summon would undergo Verification again today.
Curiosity, unease, and resentment tangled in the glances fixed upon Ardearon.
Unable to ask directly, everyone merely watched for signs.
And in that very moment, someone grabbed Felix’s arm.
“Let’s go.”
When the other students recognized whose face it was, they gasped in surprise.
Did she just grab that Ardearon and tell him to leave?
Daisy Seiblehart?
The sight of the one rumored to be most fearful grabbing the one rumored to be most dangerous left the students unable to tear their eyes away.
Of course, this wouldn’t last long.
Surely Ardearon would shake off her arm with an icy expression that could freeze the heart, dismissing her words as nonsense…….
“Okay.”
But surprisingly, Ardearon simply nodded in agreement.
He didn’t even appear angry.
Though his expression was somewhat ambiguous.
Ardearon followed without hesitation as Daisy led him away.
After the two departed, the quiet Dormitory Hall erupted into chaos as a matter of course.
“What was that just now?”
“What’s the deal between those two? Did they already know each other? What is it? What exactly is going on!”
“Now that you mention it, didn’t those two leave together every time after class?”
“That’s right, I’ve seen it before!”
“Could they possibly…….”
“Hey, are you insane?”
“Why not! It’s possible!”
“How could it possibly be! Seiblehart and Ardearon—how could they even be together like that.”
The students in the Dormitory Hall watched the spot where the two had vanished, their expressions clouded with confusion.
* * *
Daisy hurried to the empty Courtyard, her voice urgent.
“What happened?!”
……
“What happened to our Soon-dol?!”
……
Felix answered only with a subtle expression.
Reading the faint reproach etched across his face, Daisy felt her heart sink.
She’d been certain that mad peacock would have pushed back against the Parent Committee’s decision—but he hadn’t.
“Damn it, I…”
Daisy’s lips drained of color, trembling visibly.
“I really thought it would be cancelled…”
“It was.”
That was when it happened.
A quiet voice drifted down from above her head.
“What do you mean?”
Daisy’s head snapped up in an instant.
Felix, his expression still oddly resentful—neither pleased nor sad—added quietly,
“The condition was Sealing for one year.”
Daisy let out a sigh of relief.
One year wasn’t all that long.
Better still—however many years it took—than Disappearance.
“Phew, I thought… anyway, the Disappearance is cancelled, so why do you look like that, you bastard! You scared me!”
Daisy wiped away cold sweat, asking with an aggrieved look.
……
But no answer came from Felix.
He only gnawed at his lip and stared at the ground.
His ears had turned bright red.
Daisy, who’d been watching him with puzzlement, seemed to catch on to something and asked carefully.
“Did… something happen during the Verification?”
The mad Committee nobles must have spouted some nonsense during the Verification.
Especially that Baron—that person of concern—it wouldn’t have been strange if he’d ranted about killing or Disappearance right in front of the boy, foaming at the mouth.
……Should I punch that bastard just once?
As Daisy’s hands clenched with rather violent thoughts,
Felix looked at her with an expression even more resentful than before.
But the strange part was… that resentment was directed at Daisy herself.
Felix’s lips trembled hesitantly, and a sound like a hallucination slipped through.
“Hand…”
“Hand?”
Daisy tilted her head in confusion, and Felix, who’d been glaring at her with half-closed eyes, pressed his palm to his forehead instead.
“……Never mind.”
“You know what two things drive people crazy? First is leaving your sentence unfinished, and…”
Before Daisy could finish, Felix turned and headed back toward the Dormitory.
“Hey, what is it?!”
Daisy’s exasperated voice called out behind him, but he didn’t turn around.
No—he couldn’t turn around.
How could he possibly explain that?
‘Ardearon, did you give your Summon a name?’
‘……’
‘Ardearon?’
‘……Soon-dol.’
‘Ahem.’
‘Principal, please don’t laugh. Now then, Ardearon—how will you Verify that Soon-dol obeys your commands?’
The fateful moment had finally arrived.
Felix Ardearon extended his hand, made even colder by his tension, and spoke quietly.
‘Soon-dol. Hand.’
……Paw.
The grey wolf had lifted its paw, and Felix was certain that the silence that followed was the most unbearable silence of his entire life.
But worse than the silence itself was the sound that broke it.
‘Ugh….’
‘….’
‘Aaah… hic… aaah….’
‘…Principal.’
‘Hehehehe… *sniff*….’
‘Just laugh.’
‘Ahahahaha! Hahahaha! Haha! Ha! Ahahahahaha! Ah, my sides….’
‘….’
‘….’
‘A “hand,” he says… a hand… Vice Principal, did you hear? A hand… ahahaha! I actually trained that… ahahaha…. Even gave it a name, Soon-dol….’
“Hey, are you seriously not going to tell me what happened?!”
From this moment forward, Felix swore to himself, he would never again follow a method proposed by Daisy Sable Heart.
Felix, tugging at his ears as if they might fall off, came to an abrupt halt in his stride.
Then he turned around.
He’d forgotten—there was something he needed to say.
“Wait, I forgot something!”
Daisy cried out as she hurried after him.
Felix spoke to her, watching as she closed the distance without hesitation, without fear or reservation.
“Thank you.”
The words seemed to catch Daisy off guard; she stopped short a few paces away.
But Felix meant it sincerely.
He could see it in the gray wolf’s behavior—struggling against his own pain while fighting down the urge to attack her.
Without this opportunity, he would have lost his Summon and spiraled again into an incomprehensible loss.
“I’ll grant your wish, as promised.”
‘….’
Daisy’s lips parted slightly.
“Do you have something in mind?”
“I… do.”
Daisy answered, barely holding herself together.
“Tell me.”
“Later.”
She forced the words out toward Felix, whose expression showed bewilderment.
“When the time comes, I’ll tell you.”
“All right.”
Without hesitation, Felix turned and stepped into the Dormitory Hall.
But Daisy caught the words he added, clear enough for her ears.
‘Anytime.’
In that instant, Daisy felt her heart suddenly racing, and she pressed her palm against her chest.
What… what was that?
Chapter 13. Side Work
What else would it be.
Arrhythmia.
The next morning, Daisy saw Felix and felt her heart beating so calmly, so peacefully, that she nodded to herself in satisfaction.
It was clear the shock of his promise to grant her a wish had made her heart race uncontrollably.
A wish, no less.
And granted by none other than this world’s greatest villain-in-the-making!
At last, she felt as though she’d accomplished something since entering this world.
Daisy had found a way to survive.
Of course, she planned to save this wish for the very last moment, solving whatever trials came before then on her own.
But the feeling of having reliable insurance was indescribably precious.
‘Mhehehehe….’
Her laughter was so ominous that the student standing beside her jumped in alarm.
But Daisy paid them no mind.
Having pulled off the gamble of a lifetime, nothing in this world could ruin Daisy Sable Heart’s day.
Nothing!
That’s when it happened.
“Taubrat?”
