Chapter 228: The Elven City
Weekly chapters (2/2)
Sorry for the delay. Chapter 229 should be ready early on next month.
That said, I want to speed-up 7th loop Villainess while the anime is still on-going.
Enjoy~
It’s too hard to wake up. To think that the person I didn’t want to meet the most would appear at this timing...
It was probably trying to take advantage of my weakened state.
The sky I saw from the window was a cloudless blue sky, the exact opposite of my gloomy mood.
[Good morning, sleepyhead]
Cecilia’s smile was flawless. I was lured into it and it made me smile too.
Maybe it’s because the two of us talked about our lives yesterday. It felt like we were closer to each other than before.
[It’s nice weather today, so why don’t we go out somewhere? We can go anywhere Fate likes.]
[Good, then...]
While recovering from my sleepiness, I thought about the destination.
It’s nice weather. I concurred with what Cecilia said.
If you remain in a cloudy mood, you will be unsure of your future. Refreshments may be necessary from time to time.
When I told her where I wanted to go, Cecilia laughed at me.
[Even after everything, you still have the appetite.]
[That’s right. The bugs living in my stomach couldn’t wait anymore]
After changing my clothes, I pick up the scabbard containing the broken black sword.
I wanted to show Greed the elf city as well.
[I see that you’re ready.]
[Yeah, looking forward to our destination.]
[Sure, let’s go then!]
I wonder what Cecilia will feed me.
I followed her outside. The sweet scent of flowers wafted on the gentle breeze.
The only people we passed by on the street were, of course, elves. The beastman was nowhere to be seen.
The city was buzzing with activity as if yesterday had never happened. Visit no(v)eLb(i)n.com for the best novel reading experience
The fresh fruits and vegetables lined up in the open were probably grown by beastmen.
None of the elves’ hands looked like they were working on a farm, and they were clean and without a single scratch. Perhaps because I was looking around, Cecilia called out to me.
[Even though the lives of elves are supported by beastmen.]
[Does Cecilia want to change that?]
[I think it would be better if we could understand each other better than we do now.]
[A vineyard...]
[Actually, the wine we sell to the bar here is made in my own vineyard.]
After saying that, Cecilia secretly told me.
I see, that’s why you showed me around this bar.
[If I have time, I can also show you around the vineyard.]
[Maybe help with the harvest?]
[That’s right. It will still take some time to harvest, so please wait until then.]
[I understand, milady.]
[What was that? You sounded like you are parroting a servant.]
Cecilia laughed at me. I’m just applying what I learned when I was still a servant at Roxy’s Hart family.
I was glad that I remembered to put it in even though I was busy fighting.
A friendly-looking barkeep approached and greeted us.
When he saw my short ears, he looked a little surprised. However, he soon smiled and took orders from Cecilia.
[Two of the usual ones.]
[Of course. ....it’s rare to see Cecilia-sama to be with someone here.]
[No need to stray on unnecessary topics.]
[Pardon me.]
When Cecilia looked angry, the master bowed deeply and left the place.
It didn’t seem like she was really angry. They are probably close enough to have such a conversation.
[Good grief, just because I always come here alone.]
[You seem happy about that.]
[Fate, don’t make fun of me as well.]
[Sorry, sorry. Does the barkeep also agree with Cecilia regarding the relationship between elves and beastmen?]
[I don’t know...maybe my position makes them say yes.]
Due to differences in status, it may not be possible to speak honestly. Cecilia said so.
At least to me, the barkeep was very friendly towards Cecilia.
The stewed beef dish on the table had a rich flavor and went well with the astringent red wine in my hand.
Each and every dish was made with care and heart.
[Now that our stomach is full, I guess Fate wants to know more about this world.]
[The sandy beach when I washed up in this world... it looked like a metal artifact under my feet.]
[Yes, it is...this island was created by God in ancient times.]
[God!?]
Hearing those words, I felt like the failure of a God within me...within my Gluttony skill was writhing.
