BJ Villainess Chapter 32
[The Constellations wonder where BJ is going.]
I answered as I went down the stairs. “The library. There is no better place to run away from students than there.”
The wizards of <God’s Play> thoroughly valued practice over theory. That way, there won’t be anyone in the library. It was an extreme setting that was put in because it was supposed to be Clyde’s refuge and a place to build a tingly narrative with the player.
However, that didn’t mean students didn’t use all the libraries in Valhalla. At least the place with the most users was the library on the first floor. It was also the largest main library and could be visited by outsiders. Anyway, it was the most visited place by students, even for assignments.
It’s a library Clyde never goes to. In addition, the library on the first floor also had a private reading room, so you could use it immediately if you applied.
What I was aiming for was a private reading room. I was going to read the book that Professor Ilya had lent me there until the members of Clybe went home. I crossed the lobby that was still crowded with people.
I’d rather be safer in a place like this. Even if Lumio came after me, we couldn’t talk here, so I could get rid of her quickly. There was another advantage of the market-like lobby. That is, your murmur would be buried by the surrounding noise.
“Can you all hear me?”
[The Constellations nod.]
I opened the book and spoke. To others, it looked like I was muttering while memorizing.
“The young lady I called Lumio earlier is a ‘demon contractor.’ Ah, I guess I should still call her as a prospective contractor.”
[The Constellations are curious about what kind of demon contractor is.]
“Humans contract with demons to make their wishes come true, right? It’s the same in <God’s Play>.”
Ding!

[Lumio seems to be strangely obsessed with Theresa and wants to connect Theresa with Clyde. I presume that she will make a wish related to it.]
“Exactly.”
Lumio had the opposite personality from Theresa. She greatly admired Theresa, who was arrogant and confident in everything. For her, Theresa’s behavior was worthy of her status as a princess.
A healthy, beautiful, and imposing Theresa with the cold, indifferent Clyde. Lumio reinterpreted the character Theresa at her will and enjoyed the delusion of matchmaking her with Clyde, the man she thought was the most perfect for Theresa. It could be understood as fantasizing about dating your favorite celebrity.
[The Constellations wonder what happens when a demon contractor summons a demon.]
“That…”
I think it would be long and boring to explain in words.
Since it was something you would definitely experience in the scenario anyway, I thought that going to that time and seeing it for yourself would be a much more vivid pleasure. Even Ozworld told me not to explain too much.
“It will be easier to understand when you see it for yourself.”
[The Constellations respect BJ’s judgment.]
I wonder if today will end like this. Since morning, I have been through various things, which made me feel tired, maybe more so because of my lack of sleep.
But I wonder what the first-floor library will look like. I wondered what kind of magic book there might be, so I walked faster and faster to the library. Then a familiar voice came from nearby.
“Is it you? You’re the one who crawled into Damian’s personal lab this morning?!”
…It’s a voice I know? When I turned my head and checked, sure enough, it was Mimosa who was raging with anger.
“I already said it’s not me for the fourth time, Senior.” It was Libby who refuted in a calm voice the opposite.
I became perplexed. What? Why are they together?
Mimosa screamed with a face as red as her pink hair. Thanks to this, I could clearly hear what she was saying even in this noisy lobby.
“The color of the rouge on the coffee cup is the limited edition of the Jannelle, which was recently released. It’s the same color as what is on your lips now!”
“Limited edition doesn’t mean it was me.”
“But it’s a limited edition with only 10 pieces?!”
…I can’t believe it was. I should throw away my cosmetics when I go back to the dormitory. Anyway,
It seems like Libby was suspected by Mimosa for using the same rouge as me today. My conscience was pricked just to leave them alone while pretending not to know about it. It happened because of me, so I have to deal with it.
After letting out a short sigh, I approached them.
“I also have that limited edition, Mimosa.”
“Sister…!”
Libby looked at me with relief, and Mimosa was annoyed.
“Are you here to side with your sister now? Since when have you been that kind of person!”
Theresa wasn’t that kind of character. As I shrugged my shoulders insignificantly, Mimosa looked back and forth between Libby and me, then narrowed her eyes.
“I see now. Did you deliberately let your sister approach Damian on purpose?”
In the end, Mimosa treated Libby as a spy from Clybe.
Is there anything to be gained… by doing something like that? If Libby and Damian were connected, it would be easier for Theresa to be wary and keep an eye on the person she hates.
If it was the original Theresa, she wouldn’t have thought of such a high-level plan. Still, it seemed the angry Mimosa highly valuated Theresa. Should I be thankful?
I left Mimosa, who was freely delusional to her heart’s content, looked at Libby, and reached out to her. “Libby, come here.”
“…Yes!”
If I reacted to her nonsense, I would get more tired. As I was about to leave the place with Libby, who came to my side.
Ding!
[Quest: Get an apology from Mimosa.]
▸Reward: ???
▸Failure: Expulsion due to Demisa’s retaliation
…Until this quest window popped out.
Really, everything is sent as a quest. Besides, I didn’t know why the reward part wasn’t clearly mentioned. My enthusiasm plummeted.
To get an apology from Mimosa, who has a great pride second to Theresa? It was impossible to get Mimosa to admit her fault and make her apologize. Therefore, the only way to forcefully get an apology was to make a fight. I really didn’t want to do wasteful things like a verbal fight, but…
“Mimosa, you’re really good at catching innocent people.”
Mimosa narrowed her brows for a moment as if she was thinking about what I meant. Her puzzled expression, ‘I think it’s a compliment because she said I’m good, but why do I feel dirty,’ gradually turned like a demon.
Mimosa, who finally understood what I meant, was very angry. “How dare you make fun of me?!”
Ding!

[The more I look at Mimosa, the more she looks like a high-status person’s child who entered a prestigious university through the backdoor.]
Ding!

[I rather like this.]
Surprisingly, Theresa had a lower grade than Mimosa. If <God’s Play> had been released, people would have asked why the villains were so stupid…
Murmur!
“Is it another fight between Clybe and Demisa?”
“Oh! Isn’t she the representative of this year’s freshman? Is she being bullied?”
The number of onlookers naturally increased as the fight showed no signs of stopping. It was a very unpleasant situation for me, who didn’t like getting a lot of attention.
At this rate, Clybe will flock. I was running away from them, but if Clybe and Demisa also gathered here, it would turn out to be nothing.
There was a quick way to end this fight. It was to reveal that I was the one who entered Damian’s personal lab. But if that happens, I will be attacked by Demisa. Clybe will also suspect my change of mind.
The biggest problem would be Lumio. She might think I switched from Clyde to Damian, which could lead her to summon a demon.
There was an excuse to avoid all those problems. However, if I used that method, I wouldn’t be very willing to get involved with Damian privately.
There’s no other way now. I raised my chin and put on a look of disdain at Mimosa. “Are you sure Libby went into Damian’s personal laboratory?”
“Of course! She’s the only one who put on a rogue from Jannelle in this school!”
“Really? No matter what, you think it’s Libby, right? Will you bet on your honor?”
As I pushed it forward, Mimosa hesitated as if she sensed something strange. However, because of her pride, she seemed to be unable to reverse her words, so she talked with a more ferocious expression.
“Yes! I can bet everything!”
There was a stir among the students who heard Mimosa’s declaration. Now that the perfect situation had been created in which her words could not be reversed, I have driven a wedge here.
“Then let’s make a bet.”
“…A bet?”
When the word ‘bet’ came out, Mimosa seemed to sense that something was going wrong, and her spirits slumped down. However, it would be difficult if she backed off like that.
“If it turns out that it wasn’t Libby who entered Damian’s personal laboratory today, write an apology letter and post it on the bulletin board.”
I arrogantly crossed my arms and continued. “If I’m wrong, I will also post an apology on the bulletin board.”
Mimosa hesitated, not readily accepting.
“If you don’t have the confidence, apologize to my sister right away.”
Ding!

I came closer to Mimosa to put some pressure on her.
“G-get out of the way?!”
We had quite a physical difference. Mimosa was much smaller than average, while Theresa was slightly taller than average.
“Hurry up and choose.”
In order to get what I want, I shouldn’t ask my opponent for a subjective answer. It was an unconditional choice. Also, both options must be in my favor.
This method worked better when your opponent was careless and in a situation where they couldn’t help but to go with it. They couldn’t think deeply, so they would choose from the options you’ve offered.
It’s a trick I learned while calming down the ridiculous demands from my younger sibling. Although it didn’t work after they got older.
“Hurry!”
When I pressed on once more, Mimosa somehow hid her bewilderment and shouted. “L-let’s do it!”
She got caught.
Ding!

[Excellent.]
I then talked to Mimosa with a sorry expression. “I was the one who went to Damian’s personal laboratory today.”
