Taming The Villainesses - Episode 54.2

Episode 54.2

(EP-54.2) Theo #3

054 – Silver Rookie Theo #3

The kiss lasted about ten seconds.

The sounds of Narmi’s breathing got more and more ragged, as if she didn’t have time to breathe. I then remembered that this was her first kiss.

She must have had a hard time figuring out when and how to breathe during the kiss.

With that thought, I slowly turned my head away and asked the flushed Narmi.

“… How is it? Was it clumsy?”

“Uh, huh…?”

Narmi didn’t answer my question right away.

Her cheerful face was hazy like a drunken person, and her red eyes were moist and wet, as if she was about to cry.

“Ugh….”

She was out of it.

Well, the first kiss would usually be hectic.

Should I say it was subtle and bizarre, being so soft and slippery… Not to mention the sensation of all your nerves being drawn to the lips and tongue?

Also, not to brag, but as someone who had been constantly tormented by Elga, my kissing was pretty good.

With her first kiss just being taken, the innocent Narmi simply couldn’t return to her senses.

「You are the first to explore the white snow.

Gained job experience for ‘Casanova’. +50」

“How was my kiss? Was it clumsy?”

“Um, umm, hmm, well… It seems like it…”

When I asked the question again, Narmi barely opened her mouth and spoke in a muffled voice.

She was clearly trying to disguise her composure in the subject, given how her dye red face looked like it would explode at any moment.

“… Definitely. I think there’s a clumsy side.”

“Then, how should I fix it?”

I asked with half anticipation and half interest. What kind of answer would she give me? However, Narmi answered in a surprisingly calm voice.

“It needs a bit more romantic atmosphere. There must be a candle…. It’s also good to have some wine…! OR, on a rainy day, under the leaves.”

“Oh.”

Atmosphere.

Like what Narmi Draco had said, having the right atmosphere was quite important.

Then again, the two of us were already standing on the balcony of a sparsely populated temple, above the stairs under the moonlight. That would be quite the atmosphere in itself, wouldn’t it?

Narmi coughed heavily.

“Hmm…. I don’t think this will be fixed overnight. Theo, you should take regular classes…”

“Taking a class?”

“Yes! 10th period every Wednesday, right here, at around this time. You can listen to my, Professor Narmi’s, dating lecture! Well then, I’m just gonna…!”

After Narmi Draco finished with those words, she quickly went down the stairs and disappeared. The fact that she only talked about herself before taking off bore quite a resemblance to her older sister. Was it because they were twins?

The next day.

I woke up late and checked the timetable.

1:00 pm. Tea Time Lecture.

This reminded me of the tough battle I had with Efside, just to get this lecture…

“Alright.”

As I got up from bed with the bathroom in mind, I saw Benjamin and Hans fussing at the entrance of our room.

“What are you two doing?”

“Friend! Look at this! You have an invitation!”

Invitation?

Upon opening the dormitory door at Hans’ words, I saw that someone had indeed left something like a letter envelope hanging on the doorknob.

It was closed with a silver farmer seal, and the top of the white envelope read:

「Theo Gospel, SILVERS invites you.」

It was simple and concise.

When I opened the letter and read the contents inside, the benefits of joining SILVERS were listed.

The genealogy of test questions left behind by seniors.

Things like priority access to facilities like the school cafeteria, library and training grounds.

A dedicated reading room, group study room, etc… exclusive for those with Silver Brooches.

It looked like there were many convenient benefits in all sorts of ways.

“That’s awesome! So many benefits? This is why everyone wanted to raise their ranks! Benjamin, look at this!”

As Hans and Benjamin were getting excited about the contents of the letter, I was bothered by the line at the bottom.

「SILVERS’ School Opening General Meeting. Everyone will attend. Friday evening at 7 o’clock.」

Would I have to attend this general meeting? This was a bit annoying…

I properly packed the letter in my arms and headed to the Platinum Dormitory, a state-of-the-art hotel-like building that was completely different from the old and ancient Truth Hall.

“Your Majesty, I have come to pick you up.”

“Alright.”

From there, I led Aira to the Tea Time classroom. Starting now, I would bring Aira for lunch every Thursday.

“Looks like that’s the place.”

“Isn’t this more of a field than a classroom?”

“Yes, it seems so…”

The Tea Time classroom was a lecture *hall*. A place where white tables and refreshments were prepared in a garden full of grass and flowers.

There were familiar faces around the table, which was placed under the warm and cool shade of a tree.

“Good afternoon, Lady Elga. And….”

A silver-haired girl with a frown was also sitting at the same table as Elga. This one was probably the older sibling.

“Lady Mirna, what a good afternoon to have met you under this languid and sunny sky.”

“Greetings, commoner.”

… Petulant as ever.

However, Mirna’s face was gradually turning red.

“Are you ill, perhaps? Your complexion doesn’t look good.”

“What about my complexion?”

“Your face is very red.”

At that, Mirna touched her face with  her palm. She soon looked into her hand mirror, startled by the reddening of her own face.

“Why is my face suddenly like this!?”

Mirna immediately opened her black fan and started fanning herself. Seeing this, Elga snorted.

“You always lock yourself in a dark room, so this is natural when you’re finally exposed to the sun!”

“Quiet, you!”

“It’s good that everyone is lively. Haaaa-.”

Aira sat down at the table with Elga and Mirna, who were talking loudly. It was not long before she started yawning.

“I’m sleepy. A tea party on a lazy afternoon. It’s the perfect time to take a nap…”

“… Your Majesty, you have just woken up.”

“That’s true…”

Haaaa- Aira continued to yawn.

Mirna said to Aira, “Are you trying to demean yourself?”, but Aira just looked around as if she didn’t really care.

Seuk.

Suddenly, something touched my knee.

I saw that Elga, who was sitting across from me, had taken off her slippers under the table. She started touching my knee with her bare foot.

“…….”

“…….”

I guessed this was her own greeting, albeit covert. 

I also grabbed her foot and shook it like a handshake.

“……!”

Elga was so startled that she withdrew her leg immediately, like a startled snail hiding inside its shell. Luckily, no one seemed to notice.

Actually, the way I saw it, not only Elga, but everyone who sat at this table was someone who had done some secret and bizarre things with me at least once.

Under Aira’s command, I licked her soapy body and feet.

In the case of Elga, we crossed the line.

As for the daughter of the Draco family… Well, I and the younger lady had a secret meeting yesterday and kissed each other behind the older sister’s back.

With that in mind, this table suddenly felt very dangerous…

If someone exposed and spread my relationships, this and that would be completely ruined.

Could I really tame them all?

Just then, Aira said.

“So, what do you do with this tea time lecture?”
