A dark-hearted heroine is overwhelmingly convenient.
#80
“Ah, you’re trembling so much. You’re really hurting my feelings here.”
The first thug spoke with a sneer.
His expression showed not a shred of genuine offense.
It would have been strange if it had.
Fear and trembling were exactly the reaction the first thug adored.
Especially when it came from a commoner girl the Academy had taken notice of.
The second thug beside him was quick to join in.
“Exactly. Looking at us like we’re some kind of gangsters… Hey, do you even know what house this guy is from? A house you couldn’t even look up to. You should be grateful we’re paying you any attention at all.”
“Oh? What house is he from?”
“Can’t you tell just by looking? He’s from the Holton Marquis House. He’s the next heir to the Holton Marquis.”
The first thug didn’t stop the second from going on about his house.
If anything, his chest puffed out with pride.
Even if the commoner girl before him learned his name, there was nothing she could do about it.
In fact, she’d only feel more despair.
Because she’d realize there was nothing within her power.
“I see. And you?”
“Me? I’m the heir to the Blivy Marquis House. Surely you’ve heard of it?”
“Sorry, I haven’t. Doesn’t seem very famous.”
“Not famous, he says. Hehehehe.”
“Hey, don’t laugh, you bastard!”
The third thug couldn’t hold back his laughter, and the second one flared up in anger.
“And who are you laughing over there?”
“This one’s from the Ulfe Marquis House,”
The second thug answered irritably, then suddenly froze.
The girl standing before them hadn’t opened her mouth once this entire time.
Wait. Then just now……
The second thug spun around in shock toward where he’d heard the voice.
Bang!
The second thug was hit by a carriage.
“…….”
“…….”
At least, that’s what the second thug thought as he lost consciousness.
Thump.
A small-framed girl with platinum-blonde hair emerged from behind the Blivy Marquis heir crumpled in the middle of the alley.
The girl with platinum blonde hair cascading past her shoulders brushed off her handbag with quick pats, then nodded at the bewildered thugs.
“Next?”
Her large emerald eyes sparkled in the sunlight pouring down the alley.
Looking at those eyes, the girl watching suddenly thought:
They were more beautiful than any jewel she’d ever seen.
* * *
Correction.
They were more ominous than any monster she’d ever seen.
“…….”
The girl stood speechless at the shocking sight before her.
The three thugs who had been menacing her just moments ago were now laid out flat on the ground.
Though it wasn’t as if they’d been beaten severely.
Just one hit each.
From that tiny platinum-blonde girl.
“Are they dead?”
The platinum-blonde girl poked the Holton Marquis heir with her small foot.
At that, the Holton Marquis heir let out a ghastly, gurgling sound.
“Ugh… urgh……”
Still alive, then.
Bang!
The Holton Marquis heir went completely limp under the platinum-blonde girl’s swinging handbag.
Whatever was inside that handbag, every time she swung it, it sounded like someone being hit by a carriage.
At that sound, the other two thugs twitched in fear.
Having grasped something, the two of them didn’t so much as flinch when she poked them with her small foot.
“…….”
The platinum-haired girl paused for a moment, thinking.
Then she swung her handbag once more.
Bang!
In place of the now-unconscious heir of the Blivy Marquis House, another thug suddenly jerked his head up and cried out.
“Wh—what? I didn’t even make a sound, so why—!”
“Finishing blow.”
Bang!
With a total of six blows, the girl had rendered all three of them thoroughly unconscious and straightened herself up.
Her large emerald eyes shimmered with an intense light that seemed almost bewitching.
“Are you alright?”
The platinum-haired girl asked me.
“…….”
But I couldn’t manage any reply.
I was too busy staring into those emerald eyes.
The platinum-haired girl nodded as if she understood.
“Yeah, I guess you’re not.”
She paused for a moment, then asked seriously.
“Want me to hit you too?”
A truly strange person.
I was about to open my mouth with that thought when it happened.
Whoosh!
Screech!
A black sparrow suddenly burst forth and landed among the fallen thugs.
Then it began hopping about between them, striking their cheeks with its small wings.
Whack! Whack! Whack!
The unconscious thugs’ heads rolled helplessly back and forth.
“Hey, I wasn’t asking you!”
Whack!
“Kkasum, stop!”
“Kkasum……?”
I was shocked by the unexpected name, but even so, the platinum-haired girl was busy trying to stop the sparrow.
“Stop it!”
Whack!
“Come on, stop!”
The platinum-haired girl shouted in a voice utterly lacking in dignity.
Then Kkasum glanced back at the girl, delivered one final strike to the first thug’s cheek (whack!), and dove straight into her heart.
“Never listens to me, anyway.”
The girl clicked her tongue and then waved her hand casually in a farewell gesture.
“Anyway, all settled? I’ll be going then—”
“Wait, no!”
Grab!
I seized the hem of the girl’s clothes as she tried to slip away from the alley.
I couldn’t just let her leave like this.
* * *
“Wh—what?”
Daisy was startled.
She had been suddenly grabbed.
Daisy turned her head to look at the girl.
The girl was still sitting on the ground.
With delicate, slender features like those of a forget-me-not, the girl’s brown hair was somewhat disheveled.
Her red lips trembled slightly, and her golden-tinged yellow eyes quivered softly.
“Ah.”
Then Daisy understood.
She had faced down the thugs boldly enough, but they were clearly still frightening to her.
“Guess I’ll have to beat them each one more time—”
“Your name, please.”
“Oh, revenge? Good thinking. That big one over there was the Holton Marquis House heir, and the one next to him——”
“No. I’d like to know the name of the person who saved me.”
“Me?!”
Daisy was caught off guard.
“Why me?”
“Because you have to repay a debt of kindness.”
The girl spoke with resolute conviction.
Only then did Daisy understand.
The girl wasn’t frightened—she was afraid that Daisy would leave without even telling her name.
On reflection, this girl possessed remarkable courage.
But Daisy couldn’t give her name.
No matter how good the deed, she couldn’t allow rumors to spread that she’d beaten three ruffians with a handbag.
The girl didn’t seem to know who Daisy was yet, so if she simply slipped away now, there would be no problem.
“Forget the debt. It was just a coincidence, passing by…….”
Saying this, Daisy twisted her hem free from the girl’s grip.
But her escape failed.
The instant she pulled her hem away, the girl’s hand shot out and seized hers.
“My mother always used to say,”
the girl said.
“‘Repay grievances tenfold, but kindness a hundredfold.'”
Her mother was no ordinary woman…….
“Ah, I’d say this is less a debt of kindness and more a carriage accident, really…….”
“If you won’t tell me your name,”
Threatening someone while wearing such a delicate, forget-me-not-like expression—how dare she.
“I’ll have no choice but to search the entire Academy for a platinum-haired woman with green eyes, small stature, who summoned a black raven to fell three ruffians with six swings of a handbag.”
“I’m, Daisy, Daisy Sabelheart.”
A forget-me-not threatening like a hippopotamus.
The girl, smiling radiantly at Daisy’s breathless answer, opened her mouth.
“My name is Christine Loge.”
“Right, Christine Lo…….”
Daisy’s head snapped up.
“Wait—Christine Loge?!”
Damn it, what are you doing here……?!
* * *
Christine Loge.
This girl, with her delicate features and plain brown hair, was far from an ordinary commoner.
「”Your Highness, Duke Windier—what brings you to the graduation ceremony……!”
“My daughter has graduated.”
“Your daughter? But I’ve heard no such news…….”
“Ah, there she is. My daughter.”
“What?! The top graduate? But that student over there…….”
Is a commoner…….
No one dared say it aloud.
Because the duke speaking those words and Christine Loge’s faces were now strikingly alike.
And at the final graduation gala, Christine appeared with lustrous silver hair instead of her usual brown, putting all speculation to rest.
Her true name was Christine Windier.
The Duke Windier’s eldest daughter and heir.
Her reason for graduating from Eldvain Academy as a commoner was singular.
To be judged solely on merit.
It was the only way to become a true heir to the Windier Duchy.
In the original story, Christine Windier had been a year ahead of Daisy and had little interaction with her.
At most, they’d taken one etiquette class together.
But Daisy remembered Christine’s name distinctly.
Because…….
「”Daisy, please understand me.”
“……Jern.”
“I need that person.”」
Now for a quick quiz!
Q. Who is the “person” that Jern needs?
A. Christine Windier!
That’s correct! Daisy pressed her forehead with her palm, seized by the urge to strike Jern’s head as if it were a xylophone instead.
