BJ Villainess Chapter 312

“What do you mean, a lie?”

 

When I glared at him, demanding an explanation for his unbelievable response, Clyde shamelessly explained further.

 

“The request to create a green field is real, but the rest was a lie. I just figured that showing them through action like this would work out better for you.”

 

“So you’re saying this was all carefully calculated?”

 

“In any negotiation, it’s better to make them come to you rather than going to them,” he said as he looked to the side.

 

Curious, I looked over as well, and a portal opened in the air, from which a group of people in elaborate attire emerged. They were clearly high-ranking nobles. The nobles were deeply moved as they watched the greenery continue to grow.

 

“Oh my gosh! We came to see what happened since the walls suddenly disappeared, but to witness such a miraculous sight!”

 

All of them rushed toward me at once.

 

“You must be Theresa! It’s a pleasure to meet you.”

 

“It’s an honor to meet such an esteemed figure of our planet. You truly have an extraordinary aura that befits someone of your remarkable abilities!”

 

As I was overwhelmed by the flurry of handshakes, I noticed a woman standing a little distance away. She had dazzling silver hair like Clyde’s and was exquisitely beautiful. It hit me who she was. Frea.

 

But something about her seemed slightly different from the image that had flashed in my mind when I read <Sand Saintess>. She looks the same, but her expression seems different.

 

Frea looked at me with complicated eyes before approaching with a mature smile. “I was curious to see what kind of person possessed such great abilities, but you’re even younger than I expected. Nice to meet you. My name is Frea Ananuka.”

 

I glanced at her outstretched hand before shaking it. “Theresa Squire.”

 

It was at that moment.

 

Ding!

 

A notification sound I hadn’t heard in a long time rang out, and a system window appeared in front of me.

 

[Server available for connection]

[…Retrieving server…]

[…Connecting to the channel…]

 

Since the dungeon collapsed, the system window hadn’t opened, just like it hadn’t when I was in Pantheon, so I knew the broadcast had completely stopped.

 

[Broadcasting is starting.]

 

Then, the broadcast suddenly resumed.

 

As I stood there, wide-eyed in surprise, a donation message from an unfamiliar nickname popped up.

 

Ding!

[The Constellation ‘♡SoveREIGN 𝓠ueen𝒸𝒶𝓇𝒹 ♡’ has sponsored 1,000,000 coins.]

[Huh? Why did this channel suddenly appear as the number one channel? Isn’t this the Sand Saintess’s channel?]

 

I couldn’t believe my eyes.

 

Sovereign… queencard…? Did I read that correctly?

 

Ding!

[The Constellation ‘vRadiant Cavev’ has sponsored 1,000,000 coins.]

[Pantheon always crashes their servers and can’t manage anything, and now they’ve bumped a new BJ to the top of the rankings? Am I really spending my coins on this -_-^]

 

Ding!

[The Constellation ‘†Dark Angel†’ has sponsored 1,000,000 coins.]

[I’ve been skeptical about this system from the beginning. It seems like a shallow dimension created just to make money off higher beings.]

 

Ding!

[The Constellation ‘∑Cool Dude™’ has sponsored 1,000,000 coins.]

[Yet here you are enjoying Pantheon 105% to the fullest, Dark Angel~]

 

I felt a bit dizzy from the onslaught of flashy nicknames.

 

Something felt off. These constellations were nothing like the ones I knew, and the content of their messages was strange. They sounded like feedback you’d hear when a new game or app launches.

 

Could this broadcast be connected to this era? If so, those nicknames and donation messages made sense.

 

I tried to stay calm, pretending nothing was wrong as I released Frea’s hand. I looked at her. The timing was too perfect for the broadcast to have started just after shaking hands with her. Could this woman be a BJ in this dimension? If that’s the case, Frea might be the BJ and the creator of <Saind Saintess>.

 

Was she struggling to protect her world too? It was possible she felt a great sense of discomfort about someone from another world influencing her own. I understood how that felt, especially after what Ozworld had done to my world.

 

Frea seemed puzzled as she noticed me staring at her. “Do you have something to say to me?”

 

Something to say… there was.

 

“Clyde and I aren’t here to harm this world. Honestly, we don’t even want to be here, and if I could, I’d take Clyde and return to where I came from.”

 

Her expression grew complicated, perhaps because I had hit upon something she was worried about.

 

Ding!

[Quest: Return to <God’s Play>]

▸Reward: ???

▸Failure: Stay here

 

A quest to return to my original world? Did the system think that my stay here was an anomaly? Well, my ultimate goal was to return to <God’s Play>, so this wasn’t bad.

 

I want to check the broadcast information. It might look strange if I stared into space too long, and it was hard to focus on the information in this situation, so it seemed better to check when I was alone. I turned to the nobles to wrap things up quickly.

 

“I’ll handle turning the desert into green fields with Clyde. It won’t happen all at once, and we’ll start with the most important areas, so please pass that along.”

 

The nobles nodded with impressed expressions. But that wasn’t all.

 

“And I’d like Clyde to oversee and report on the progress. I want to stay out of the imperial family’s affairs as much as possible.”

 

Even though my attitude might have come across as arrogant, the nobles continued to smile brightly. That’s how desperate they were to save the planet.

 

“We won’t trouble you, Lady Theresa. But you must comply with His Majesty’s orders. Apart from this, you are still a wanted person.”

 

“I understand.”

 

“It’s good to see that you’re reasonable. Let’s formalize the agreement then.”

 

We moved to Clyde’s mansion to draft the contract.
