I Will Create a Good Ending for the Yandere Villainess-Chapter 46: House of Entertainment? (edited)
Lillian sat at the table in her living room. Her upper body collapsed over the table with an empty stained-plate beside her head.
She groaned, "I’m done..." (2)
Marionette sat opposite her with her elbows on the table and resting her chin on her knuckles, "You didn’t have to eat it. No one forced you to."
Lillian raised her head up, staring into Marionette’s beautiful red eyes as they seemed to have softened quite a bit.
"Like I said before... I’m selfish about making people happy by eating their cooking."
"... Is that so..."
Marionette lowered her face, hiding half of it behind her hands as she gazed down at Lillian before shifting her gaze to the empty plate with a thoughtful expression.
"You sound like a glutton to me..."
Lillian gave a wry smile, "Well, thank you for the compliment, I suppose." (2)
"You’re welcome," Marionette responded, ignoring Lillian’s sarcasm. She then looked down at the plate below her that was slightly covered in a red and aromatic sauce.
"Your dish tasted well."
"Is that so? Well, I am glad." Lillian chuckled, smiling. (5)
Lillian then raised herself off the table, placed both the empty plates on top of each other, and brought them over to the kitchen.
Marionette followed her with her eyes and glanced around the room, shortly at the wool carpet on the floor.
Lillian stared at the two plates in the sink, debating whether or not to do them or not. She then remembered the mountain of dishes in her sink in her past life.
’Should I change this habit?’
Something within her told her to do it yet...
’Too lazy...’
Her lazy nature won over both her mind and body. She walked over to Marionette, glancing down at her necklace and thinking about how it hadn’t done anything strange yet.
’It being quiet is good...’
"So Marionette, what do you want to do next—" Her foot landed on the wool carpet beneath her, accidentally sliding off of it somehow.
Lillian’s body then tilted back, rapidly approaching the ground until an arm wrapped around her waist, preventing her from hitting the ground and risking getting a concussion.
Lillian stared up at Marionette.
She then thanked her with a grateful expression, "T-thanks Marionette..." (2)
Marionette pulled her back up, staring at the carpet that had folded in on itself, "You’re clumsy, Lillian."

"Must you insult me?" Lillian’s eyes twitched. She then sighed, suddenly realising that "Uhm... you can unhand me now, Marionette." (2)
Marionette stared down at her arm, which was still tightly held around Lillian’s waist. Her eyes then shifted back to Lillian coolly, faintly smirking, "And what if I don’t want to?"
"W-why wouldn’t you?"
"That’s because I believe you dropped something that seemed quite dangerous, in my opinion." Marionette’s eyes glanced to the side.
Lillian turned her gaze to the size, staring as an overgrown green eye stared back at her, its juices staining the smooth wooden floor.
Her eyes widened, ’Why the hell are you out of the ring?!’ (2)
Did hitting her ring against the floor cause it to exit?
Lillian growled at her necklace, ’What kind of bullshit "lucky accident" is this!? How does that even make sense!?’ (2)
She then pushed Marionette off her and dived towards the eye in hopes she could make it in time to store it.
The eye’s moist surface gleamed at her arrival. It then flashed an ominous light as its body became an ethereal gas that formed a portal that spanned the height from the floor to the ceiling.
"C-crap!" Lillian unconsciously yelled, ’I have a damn gate in my living room now!’ (8)
Lillian felt her body being sucked towards the foreboding gate that looked like a swirling green gaseous oval.
That was when she felt a pair of arms wrapped around her chest.
Marionette wrapped her arms around Lillian, coating their body in darkness as they sunk into the ground, trying to avoid the increasing suction of the gate.
Lillian watched as the vibrant world she was used to become dark and eerie. A world filled with eternal darkness. As she unconsciously tried to breathe, she found herself drowning in the large expanse of darkness.
’Shit... I just sabotaged myself...!’ She clutched her throat. (3)
Unfortunately, or fortunately for Lillian, who was just about to run out of breath, the gate seemed to rip both of them from the eternally dark world and pull them inside the world on the other side.
The gate, after devouring the two, then collapsed in on itself, morphing into a sphere before disappearing without any trace but a messy room and a high output of mana that caused the academy to go on high alert.

"Ugh..."
Lillian groaned, her eyes fluttering open, albeit with a bit of a struggle and glancing around her surroundings. (2)
Tall fabric walls with long colourful stripes of red and white stretched high towards the seemingly endless sky. Around her were elevated seating arrangements like she was in the middle of a colosseum of sorts.
She laid on the sandy, dry ground that had several cracks throughout it. A ground that was impossible for life to survive on.
"Is this..."
Lillian knew where she was. She quickly looked around and found a floating head staring at her in the far distance.
The head then blurred under her cautious eyes and appeared before her, staring at her behind a colourful mask. It wore a hat that had three points that spiked diagonally upwards away from each other.
At each end of the points were small golden bells that shined under her knowing gaze. It jingled as the head magically tilted itself in the air, staring at her as its nonexistent eyes suddenly became filled with liquid black.
It then spoke in a voice whose gender was hard to discern.
[Welcome back to the House of Entertainment. Your last trial had raked in only one God to watch. This time, it seems you have raked in a constellation.]
The head spoke in a robotic tone as its eyes leaked with black, dripping over its colourful smiling clown mask that began to shift to a darker colour faintly.
’A constellation?’ Lillian’s eyes widened as rapid flashes of light appeared behind her. She turned back around and watched as five shadowy figures sat on the seats, staring down at her. (2)
With their bodies shrouded in a veil of darkness, she was unable to discern their identities.
’A Constellation is a group of gods under the same banner... how did I somehow rake in a Constellation...?’ Lillian couldn’t believe her eyes.
What had she done that drew the attention of multiple gods?
Was it due to the fact she was a transmigrator?
She then stared back at the head, watching as liquid black dripped out from its eyes, ’The Jester...’
The floating head before her was called the Jester. One of the many creations of the Gods.
The Jester’s androgynous voice resounded once again in her ears. No, it’s more like its voice was coming from inside her mind.
[Prepare for yourself, Aspirant, Lillian Ker Arius, for your Trial. Entertain your audience well.]
