A corrupted heroine is overwhelmingly convenient.
#77
Thwack! Ding! Thwack! Thwack! Ding! Thwack! Ding! Smack!
“Ow!”
Blood spurted from her palm the moment it was pierced through by the bell’s rim.
Of course, there was no problem.
Sizzle—.
Each time her palm was pierced, Mason poured Healing Potion over the wound.
Daisy swept the cards toward herself with her restored palm.
Seeing the cards piled high in front of her, she felt a glow of satisfaction.
“……She’s not human…….”
Nora Spence’s voice murmured softly in the background.
Strange sounds like “creepy” drifted over as well, but Daisy paid them no mind.
What mattered was that she’d won!
“…….”
Daisy glanced sideways for a moment.
There wasn’t a single card in front of Felix.
It was only natural.
Throughout the entire game, he’d done nothing but flip cards over, sitting there like a stone statue the whole time.
Daisy checked the clock, thinking that the world’s greatest villain truly did know how to carry himself with weight from the very beginning.
Club Activity time was already coming to an end.
She felt a flutter of emotion.
If she could spend club time like this, nothing more could be wished for.
As Daisy broke into a satisfied smile, Dylan slowly opened his mouth, as if he too had checked the time.
“……That’s enough for today…….”
“That was so much fun today! I think we could try something even more difficult next time, senior.”
Boris spoke, his face flushed from the enjoyment of their time together.
“Yeah!”
Milo chimed in.
The two of them had grown close in the meantime, each holding their small stack of won cards and laughing together.
“…….”
Dylan Mason didn’t answer the two immediately.
He simply stared at the two puppies speaking like that.
In fact, that too was just a guess in the direction the hood faced.
Throughout the game, Dylan Mason had kept his hood pulled down low and never once showed his face properly.
After a brief silence, Dylan nodded slowly, as if he’d made a decision.
“Sure, something more difficult…….”
“Wow, that sounds fun!”
“Awesome!”
While the two shorter ones bounced around excitedly, Monica approached quietly and asked.
“Daisy, what are you doing tomorrow?”
Daisy had no trouble grasping what Monica meant by that question.
All week, whenever two or more of them gathered, they chattered endlessly about going to town on Sunday to do something fun—it was impossible not to know.
So Daisy answered firmly.
“I’m going alone.”
“I know. Where?”
“Since I’m going alone, there’s no need for you to know.”
“One Gold.”
“Blue Hair.”
Daisy named the largest of the three towns near the Academy without hesitation.
And she accepted the 1 Gold that Monica offered with full confidence.
Nora, watching the exchange as if she couldn’t believe what she was seeing, asked.
“Just now… what exactly did you do?”
“I sold information.”
“I bought information.”
Both girls answered without the slightest hesitation.
Nora fell into confusion, struck by how shockingly brazen their attitude was.
Straud Burnum approached Milo and Boris and asked.
“Our supply of Emergency Rope has run out. I was thinking of visiting the workshop in Chesher tomorrow.”
“Oh, I… could I come along? I think it would be nice to have a Small Spade for digging herbs…….”
“Of course.”
Straud Burnum turned his head toward Milo.
Milo pressed down on her bouncy, chestnut curls and answered with a slightly awkward expression.
“You two go! I’m going to rest at the Dormitory tomorrow! Chester’s kind of far.”
“Want to come to Blue Hair with me instead?”
Monica asked, hearing this.
“Blue Hair’s close. You might even ‘happen’ to run into Daisy Sableheart.”
Happen, my foot.
Daisy clicked her tongue dismissively.
But she had no intention of changing her destination because of it.
Trust was the foundation of any information business, after all.
But surprisingly, Milo shook her head even at Monica’s words.
“Oh, I have stuff to do at the Dormitory! I have an assignment, so…”
“Really? That’s a shame. Let’s go together next time! I’ll have information ready for you then too.”
She was openly saying she’d follow me around.
Daisy clicked her tongue again.
But Milo didn’t answer.
Instead, she just laughed with that cute face of hers.
……
Daisy’s eyes lingered for a moment on Milo, who was looking down at the floor and fidgeting with her hands.
But she soon turned away.
It wasn’t her business, anyway.
Chapter 19. An Outing
Eldvain Academy students called Blue Hair the “Noble’s Quarter.”
And rightly so—Blue Hair was filled entirely with establishments for the nobility.
A massive arcade suffused with sunlight.
Luxurious shops packed within it.
Fine restaurants and cafés.
High-end inns that cost several Gold a night, and townhouses bought outright by nobles for their periodic stays.
Because of this, Blue Hair was packed every Sunday with noble-born students heading out on leave.
Of course, the children of wealthy merchants could afford Blue Hair’s prices without difficulty.
But they were not seen often.
For good reason.
“Oh my, isn’t that Harry Liard?”
“The son of the Liard Trading Company?”
“Looks like he’s in the mood to spend some money today.”
“Well, he worked hard scraping and bowing to people for it—he’d better spend it.”
Snickers echoed through the arcade.
Finding Harry Liard wasn’t difficult.
A man with a face flushed bright red was hurrying across the arcade.
What good is money anyway?
He wouldn’t be able to spend it properly, always trying to keep the noble students in good humor.
And so Blue Hair became a town where only noble students came and went.
……
Daisy thought the whole scene was pathetic.
As if having one decent parent gave them the right to look down on others like that.
A breed of fool who relied on their parents’ reputation and actually believed themselves to be somebody.
That was the true nature of the noble students who came to Blue Hair every week and threw their money around carelessly.
‘Maybe I should have gone to Chester instead.’
Chester, where merchants’ and commoners’ children usually went, wasn’t nearly as grand as Blue Hair, which was almost like a city unto itself.
Still, thanks to the endless supply of goods from wealthy merchants who could afford to send their children to the Academy, there was everything one could want.
That would have been enough for Daisy.
She had no taste for things that were merely pretty and expensive without any practical use.
But Daisy had a reason for coming to Blue Hair.
“Oh my, isn’t that Daisy?”
‘One down.’
Daisy nodded knowingly at the voice coming from a nearby restaurant terrace.
It was faster than she’d expected, but not surprising.
There was no way someone who spent at least 30 Gold every week in Blue Hair would be absent.
When she turned her head, the group sitting on the restaurant terrace was staring at her.
In the center of a group that seemed to number about five stood a girl with blue hair that fell to her waist, her features as gentle as Daisy’s own, sitting with perfect posture.
‘Celine Tillie.’
The second daughter of House Tillie.
Celine Tillie, a third-year this year, had been Daisy’s senior at the Dormitory in the original work.
And she was also Daisy’s favorite senior in the original work.
Because…….
“Daisy!”
Celine waved cheerfully.
Daisy didn’t hesitate and made her way toward Celine.
The terrace was three steps higher than the arcade floor where Daisy stood.
So Daisy had to look up for quite some time to see Celine, who sat above her.
“You didn’t eat lunch, did you? Want to join us?”
Then she turned to her companions and said:
“Sorry, but would it be okay if she ate with us?”
“All of a sudden?”
One of her companions asked with a slightly reluctant expression.
Celine lowered her brows toward them and replied:
“I know it’s sudden, but I understand her situation well. She’s been feeling really down…….”
“Celine, your problem is that you’re too kind!”
“If you keep giving like this every time, you’re the only one who loses!”
“It doesn’t matter if I lose. How much could a small girl like that eat anyway? It’s nice to share the leftover food.”
“Ugh, fine. It’s only because it’s you, Celine.”
“Thank you!”
Celine gestured with a broad smile toward her companions.
“Daisy, come up!”
…….
“Daisy?”
The Daisy in the original work had adored Celine Tillie.
It was because Celine had always taken her along, even though Daisy had no money and couldn’t otherwise come to places like this.
Thanks to Celine, Daisy had been able to visit every café and restaurant in Blue Hair.
Little Daisy hadn’t known.
That kindness always came with a price.
