Taming The Villainesses

(EP-11.2) Flower Aira #11

011 – Evil Flower Aira #11

“It’s delicious! Tae-oh is really good at making tea, even better than the maids.”

“Well, I was originally bought by the Lioness Family to be a tea slave.”

“You mean Elga? She doesn't even drink a drop of tea. As expected, it was a waste for you to stay with Elga.”

“…….”

“More than that, why do you look unwell? Are you sick?"

“No~. How can I be unwell, when I was given the honor of hosting Your Majesty the Queen in my residence?”

“Why do I feel like you are being sarcastic?…”

She was sharp.

"No, I was not."

I smiled.

If I had known that things would turn out like this, I would have at least given you a name.

Even if it was just something like Keongkeong, since you barked…

Kirik, kirik-

Just then, I heard a scratching noise.

I turned my head and saw that a little beast was clinging on my window, scratching the glass with its front paws.

It was a squirrel with impressive stripes.

More importantly, like me, it had a scar on its left eye…

━Keongkeong.

What? Didn't it just get burned to death?

I was confused.

While I was deep in thought, Aira, who was sitting on the bed, got up and opened the window.

The squirrel then came in, climbing on Aira's legs and over her shoulders.

“This guy is a Dog Squirrel. It seems there is a Dog Squirrel nest nearby.”

“By Dog Squirrel, you mean?”

━Keongkeong.

“Yes, they bark like dogs. So they’re called ‘Dog Squirrel'.”

Aira watched as the squirrel ran between her hands and shoulders.

“Big Sister Anise said that Dog Squirrels don’t get along with people very well. This little one is different. Tae-oh, are you raising him?”

“No, I am not raising it. I don’t keep any pets.”

My eyes alternated between the squirrel and the charred ashes on the floor. So then, what the hell was that thing?

Without any hesitation, Aira said.

“Then you’re saying that the scorpion I burned earlier wasn’t a pet? I'm glad. I was disgusted as soon as I saw it and had to kill it right away.”

“A scorpion?”

Why were there scorpions in my house?

“I— Please wait for a moment.”

I immediately went to check the barrier stones and saw that there was a small hole in the side of the front door.

This was done on purpose.

Clearly, someone had sent a scorpion to assassinate me…

I only knew of one guy who used scorpions. However, he shouldn't appear until much later. I would need to investigate this tomorrow morning.

━Keongkeong!

“I wanted to have one when I was young. But my sister told me that they were untameable creatures and we had to constantly keep an eye on them.”

Aira's expression was very calm. Thinking that this would be effective in lowering Aira's coldness, I quickly said.

“Would you like to feed it?”

"Feed it?"

I then gave Aira some almonds, which she handed to the squirrel.

She smiled upon watching the squirrel skillfully pick the almonds from her hand.

“Eat well.”

In recent years, this seemed to be her brightest smile.

Did Aira like animals?

We were similar in this aspect.

With this, although it was only a little bit, I felt that we got closer.

━Keogkeong!

After eating all of the almonds in Aira’s palm, the squirrel left through the window it had come in from.

Aira looked sad, but then she sleepily yawned.

“I'm going to sleep. However, starting tomorrow, you are to immediately move to the palace. A house where scorpions can enter is bad!”

"Okay."

Taking off the robe that was wrapped around her, Aira then went to snuggle in my blanket, wearing only a baggy shirt and stockings.

“Tae-oh, I can smell you everywhere.”

"I'm sorry, I didn't expect that you would be staying here. Should I get you a new blanket?"

"No, it's fine. It smells even more natural than I originally thought…"

‘Smells natural’? Was that an insult?

Anyway, I tried to lay down on the floor carpet, though I was a little scared that another scorpion might be creeping around.

However, sleeping on the same bed with Aira was impossible.

As I was thinking, Aira said.

“Sleep on the bed. I can't sleep if I don’t hold something in my arms."

"Is that so?"

Oh yeah, what a relief.

The scorpions wouldn't dare to come near Aira, a powerful Magician.

I didn't even bother trying to be modest and refuse. I simply climbed onto the bed.

It was large and spacious enough for two people to comfortably sleep in.

I bought this one thinking that I might have a girlfriend someday. Unfortunately, I was too busy with work…

I had to focus on surviving.

Come to think of it, was I not currently laying in the same bed with a woman?

It was a heart-pounding situation. Even though she was a tyrant, she was pretty enough to be called an evil flower. She smelled good, too.

I wonder, what would happen if Aira and I slept in the same bed?

Seureureuk-

Aira's arms extended and hugged me.

It was a movement which showed that she thought of me as a giant teddy bear or a pillow. Actually, I was in the same situation right now.

I did not dare to sleep while facing the Queen, so I had my back turned.

Actually, being alone with Aira like this was a pretty good opportunity for me.

I needed time to have a serious conversation with Aira, in order to implement my ideas and plans.

However, now that the opportunity came, I was hesitant and couldn't open my mouth.

What if I got rejected? By then, she might really cut my throat…

Aira murmured softly in my ear.

“Tae-oh, why did you hide it from me?”

“… What do you mean?”

What was she talking about?

The basement?

The Dog Squirrel I raised?

I was feeling nervous. There were so many things that I could get ‘caught' for. I was also worried that Aira would change from hugging to suffocating me to death.

“That you were a Half-Nymph!”

"Ah."

"Come to think of it, I don't know anything about you, Tae-oh…"

Seureureuk-

I could feel Aira's hand sliding from the side of my armpit, gently stroking my belly.

She then pulled my upper garment up, before finally slipping through the knot in the waistband and directly caressing my skin.

I felt dizzy as those cool, slender fingers wrapped around my ‘thing', as if my whole body was being held by a giant hand.

This was the first time Aira touched my body.

“… I, Aira-nim?”

“I am also curious. Do Half-Nymphs really suffer from the mixed race ‘curse'?”
