BJ Villainess Chapter 205

“…What are you doing right now?” I demanded, pushing Damian away as he clung to me adorably.

 

“The morning has dawned, so I was trying to wake Madam. That’s how cats wake people up, right? Ah, or was it dogs?”

 

So, it was Damian who appeared as a cat in my dream. That explains the cat kissing me in the dream.

 

The more I thought about it, the more absurd it felt, and I pushed him away to sit up, only to notice something even more ridiculous.

 

“Why are you shirtless?”

 

“You know, Madam, I tend to get hot easily.”

 

Ding!

[My favorite season from now on is summer.]

 

Damian nonchalantly got out of bed and looked around, likely searching for the shirt he’d tossed somewhere.

 

Come to think of it, due to my sensitivity to cold, he always had to pay close attention to the heating when we were together, leading Damian to often throw off his shirt due to the heat, just like now. Accepting this reluctantly, I suddenly focused on Damian’s abdomen.

Luckily, his bruise is gone. But then it struck me as odd. Isn’t Damian a wielder of white magic, capable of healing bruises instantly? I hadn’t thought that far yesterday after hearing he had been tortured and seeing the bruises myself, but something didn’t sit right.

 

At that moment, Damian shyly said, “And Madam like my body, don’t you?”

 

Ding!

[We like it too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!]

 

I was speechless at the unjust accusation. “When did I?”

 

“Madam was openly staring just now.”

 

Ding!

[“To be fair, Theresa does seem to check out people’s bodies quite a bit.]

 

“That was to check if the bruise had disappeared!”

 

“See? Madam did look.”

 

Overwhelmed by frustration, I began hitting a pillow, only for Damian, now wearing a shirt, to laugh and approach me. “This is why I keep teasing you.”

 

After several kisses, which he claimed I found adorable, and after receiving a punch from me, he finally backed off. “Ouch, Madam.”

 

“Didn’t I tell you to stop doing this?”

 

“Then stop being cute.”

 

At this moment, I perfectly understood why Benito kept covering his ears.

 

Feeling my energy drain from the morning, I quickly showered and managed a makeshift breakfast. Damian sat at the research table, looking at me eating sweet potatoes and iced coffee.

 

“You’re not seriously considering that a meal, are you?”

 

“Yes, I am.”

 

Since arriving here, I have been subsisting on potatoes and sweet potatoes. The household staff had stocked the kitchen with various ingredients, but cooking seemed too bothersome, and I didn’t know how to cook, so this was the efficient choice.

 

“Want some?”

 

As I offered a sweet potato, Damian held his forehead. “…Just wait here for a moment.”

 

He then quickly whipped up an omelet. “Eat this.”

 

“Thanks. I’ll enjoy it.”

 

Damian’s cooking skills were excellent, so there was no reason to refuse. The omelet melted in my mouth, deliciously soft and flavorful.

 

“Impressive. Whenever I try, the outside burns, but the inside stays raw.”

 

“You don’t need to bother with such things, Madam. Whatever you want to eat, I’ll make it for you.”

 

His proposal sounded almost like a marriage proposal, leaving me speechless as I chewed on the omelet.

 

Damian chuckled. “You go silent when you’re troubled, as always.”

 

“…I should head to the farm before it gets too hot. I’ll be busy today.” Hastily getting dressed in work clothes and putting on a straw hat to shield me from the sun, I made my way outside.

 

Damian, watching me get ready, stood up and said, “I’ll come with you.”

 

“Are you sure? What if Stigmata appears?”

 

“The magic animals around here will protect us. It’ll be fine.”

 

Considering it, anyone with substantial magical power would likely be detected by the magic animals. Facing a powerful adversary together would increase our chances of survival.

 

“Alright, let’s go together.”

 

Damian happily took my hand and led me out the door. I didn’t know how to react, so I simply held his hand in return.

 

“Where to first?”

 

“We’re going to check the defensive structures from the orchard to the farmhouse. Just follow this path.”

 

It was a task too big to finish in a day, so I planned to split it over several days. During the hottest part of the day, I would stop by the lab, and in the evening, I would work on the ceiling fan.

 

As I opened the equipment with my work-gloved hand to check the magical device, Damian curiously asked, “Why don’t you have someone else do this instead of checking it yourself?”

 

“There is a site manager, but this is my design, so I’m checking it myself.”

 

The protective magical device was inspired by the rift suppressors used in the celestial realms. Once filled with magical power periodically, it could activate a purification magic that blocked the approach of monsters.

 

After filling the magical device with power and closing it, Damian suddenly hugged me from behind. “What can’t Madam do? I’m falling for you again.”

 

“It’s hot, let go.”

 

As Damian complained about being treated coldly, I took him to check the next piece of equipment. This time, we had to inspect the equipment installed at the farmhouse, but as two unfamiliar young men approached, the villagers’ eyes turned to us. They approached us with curious eyes.

 

“Are you employed by Duke Squire?”

 

“Yes, that’s correct.”

 

Damian seemed amused by my natural response.

 

“Oh my, I thought actors had come! How can they be so pretty and handsome?”

 

As the conversation opened up, villagers began to crowd around us.

 

“I heard that Princess Squire is a great beauty, but we wouldn’t know since we’ve never seen her. So, I bet the princess is even prettier.”

 

“How can this young man be so handsome? And so tall!”

 

“By any chance, are you two dating?”

 

At someone’s teasing question, Damian grinned. “Does it look that way?”

 

“You can tell just by looking! Honey is dripping from the boyfriend’s eyes.”

 

Hmm. It seemed that Damian, no matter which version, had a similar effect of drawing people in. The villagers eventually felt comfortable around Damian, joking and following us to the next location.

 

While I checked the equipment, Damian entertained the villagers before sending them back, warning them the area was dangerous. I was grateful because I wasn’t as affable as Damian.

 

Maybe I should skip the lab today and go to the stream with Damian.

 

“Would you like to go to the stream nearby?”

 

Excited by my suggestion, Damian picked me up effortlessly. “Let’s go quickly!”

 

Urged by him, we quickly finished checking the equipment for the day and headed for a swim. Upon reaching the stream, Damian immediately stripped off his shirt and jumped into the water.

 

Splash! Damian, completely soaked, splashed water towards me, gesturing for me to join. “The water is cool, Madam. Come here.”

 

Ding!

[The Constellation ‘Damian, Stop Being Handsome’ has sponsored 1,000,000 coins.]

[So refreshing, so refreshing]

 

I sat on a rock, dipping only my feet in the water. Damian, full of playfulness, splashed water on me.

 

“It’s cold.”

 

“That’s why I told you to come here.”

 

“I can’t swim.”

 

“The water isn’t deep enough to swim here, Madam.”

 

I was too lazy to move, but at his insistence, I waded forward until suddenly the ground dropped, and I plunged in. Even then, the water only came up to my shoulders, but Damian, looking alarmed, quickly lifted me up.

 

“Are you okay?!”

 

“Yeah, I just lost my footing. I’m not hurt or anything.”

 

Damian looked very worried, then suddenly turned away, blushing.

 

Why is he acting like this?

 

Looking down, I realized my wet clothes had slipped, exposing my shoulder. Is he embarrassed over this?

 

“You’re fine being bare-chested any time, but you get shy over my shoulder, showing a bit?”

 

“It’s not just about a shoulder.” Damian sighed, pulling me out of the water, and magically dried my wet clothes, fixing my outfit.

 

“Weren’t we going back in the water?”

 

“…Maybe we shouldn’t.”

 

Ding!

[The Constellation ‘Romance Pass’ has sponsored 1,000,000 coins.]

[Explain why not using the 5W and 1H]

 

He’d probably faint if I wore a swimsuit.

 

Following Damian’s preference, we decided to rest under the shade of a tree instead of playing in the water.

 

When I took out a picnic mat from my inventory, Damian looked puzzled. “Why does Madam have this? You don’t seem like the type to enjoy picnics.”

 

Ding!

[The Constellation ‘Conspiracy Theorist’ has sponsored 1,000,000 coins.]

[Is he implying Theresa has no friends?]

 

Ding!

[The Constellation ‘Born From Theresa’s Heart’ has sponsored 1,000,000 coins.]

[Our Theresa has plenty of friends, got it?]

 

I wasn’t the type to carry around such a mat, but there was a reason I had it.

 

“Drinking on the school lawn is a delicacy.”

 

Damian shook his head, not understanding.

 

I wonder what happened to Clybe. With Clyde gone, the club must be gone too.

 

I had hoped the Clybe would disappear when I first entered this world, but now I felt a bit nostalgic. Maybe I should send out invitations for the party.

 

While I lay under the tree, lost in thought and gazing at the sky, a sound approached from the distance.

 

Tududuk! The noise of a horse galloping grew louder and louder. Curious, I stood up to check the direction of the dust cloud and recognized the familiar figure.

 

“Father?”

 

The person rushing towards us was none other than Raul.

 

…Wait. I am here with Damian, right?

 

“Hide!”
