Volume 1 Chapter 47 Mean Villainess Eats Limited Edition Dessert
"You eat that so deliciously!"
I watch Rudger, who is happily munching on yakisoba bread, and I whisper.
Everyone except Rudger is eating the limited dessert from the cafeteria, which looks much fancier and tastier, but it seems Rudger is happier with his yakisoba bread.
"Um, why do I have this limited dessert...?"
Rolus tilted his head slightly, looking a bit flustered.
"I have this, you know. I can't eat 2 yakisoba breads and that dessert."
Yes, Rudger gave his limited dessert ticket to Rolus.
"No, but I didn't participate in that treasure hunt."
"Don't worry about the details. Just eat it with Elena."
Rudger said this with a big smile.
He seems really happy.
About the yakisoba bread.
"If Rudger says it's okay, then you should eat it."
"That's right, Rolus. Giving the dessert to you is the best way to thank Elena. She'll be happier eating with you. So eat it for me."
"A thank you, huh?"
Rolus looks confused, but I let out a dry laugh.
Because, actually, Rudger has a reason for trying to push the dessert onto Rolus.
In that treasure hunt, we couldn't find the free ticket for yakisoba bread.
There was a group that found it before us.
Rudger, who couldn't find the free ticket for yakisoba bread, looked as if the world had ended.
He was so down that I couldn't even find words to comfort him.
Wondering what to do, I met up with Rolus again inside the school after returning once, and I heard the boys talking.
"They said they got a year's worth..."
"There's no way you can use that much."
I caught the word "a year's worth" and secretly peeked at what they had, and there were words for yakisoba bread.
'Um, do you think those free tickets will go to waste?'
I don't know if it was because I suddenly spoke to them or because I was Count's daughter, but they stiffened for a moment and stared at me.
They looked shocked, like a painting.
'Uh, yes.'
I thought they didn't need to be that scared.
But then again, they were probably the sons of the Baron from the countryside, so maybe it was understandable.
I don't know, though.
'Actually, one of my team members really loves those yakisoba breads. So, um, I know this is sudden and rude, but could you share just a little?'
When I said this while tilting my head, they looked at each other and nodded slightly.
'Here you go!!!'
Isn't it better to use them than to let them go to waste?
That was the idea I was trying to convey, but they handed me a bundle of free tickets, more than half.
W-Were they really planning to waste that many?
'Uh, this is too much.'
'Please, take it!!!'
They didn't give me a chance to say it was too much.
They made me hold the bundle of tickets and quickly left the scene. So now,
"...Rolus, I just stole free tickets from the boys."
"Stole."
"Stealing is definitely something a mean villainess would do."
"...Right?"
Rolus seemed to have doubts about that.
But if they were that scared, I should have acted more like a mean noble girl.
So, because of that, I was able to give Rudger the free tickets for the yakisoba buns.
Then, Rudger wanted to thank me and gave his dessert to Rolus.
Rolus looked confused because he had seen the stealing, and he probably thought that if anyone should be thanked, it should be the boys who ran away, not me.
I think so too.
"By the way, Elena, you found some jewels, right?"
Leve suddenly asked me.
"Yes. I found an iolite in that basement. And I also found a small citrine."
I stopped my hand, which was about to shove dessert into Rolus's face, looking like I was still unsure if I could eat it, and smiled at Leve as I answered.
As expected of the gem I found at the ruins, the fortune-telling teacher said it really holds magical power.
I still couldn't see it, but it somehow felt warm.
The ruby I got from Lady Ruby and the iolite I found in the basement too.
I wonder if this warmth is the magic the stone holds.
Speaking of iolite, it's the earth's magic knight.
"If we had searched a bit more carefully, we might have found more gems,"
Rudger said quietly.
"Hmm? That's true,"
Since we were mainly looking for free tickets for yakisoba bread halfway through.
"Sorry for being so obsessed with yakisoba bread,"
"I don't mind, so it's okay,"
I was really fine since I was already quite satisfied after finding the iolite.
My game brain also tells me that rare items can't be found that easily.
"More than that, I heard that temple was used about a thousand years ago, and I was hoping to find something interesting. Did you find anything, Rudger?"
"Not at all. The yakisoba bread made me blind to everything else..."
At this point, the yakisoba bread seemed to be causing a gestalt collapse.
But even without the distraction of my favorite food, I couldn't find anything, so there probably wasn't anything there.
Even if I had seen the same place in a dream just before going there.
It wasn't even a lucid dream, so it might not have been that important.
Though I do feel a bit uneasy about it.
Looking back now, the feeling of being pulled in the dream was very real.
And my right hand, which lost its warmth from the shock, felt really uncomfortable.
What did that rumbling voice say?
Who was it that pulled my hand?
What was that fear that made me want to rely on Rolus?
The more I think about it, the more I feel like I'm just adding to my confusion, like I'm stuck in a bottomless swamp.
