Taming The Villainesses-Chapter 9.2

(EP-9.2) Flower Aira #9

009 – Evil Flower Aira #9

Edited by: Mochiusagi

━That bastard Tae-oh suddenly changed the law and made it impossible to beat slaves. I can’t even discipline the darned thing with my whip anymore!

━I know, right?

━This slave rights bullshit. They could even file a complaint to the Government Office? Ah, just… Fuck off! That is not even a slave anymore. Also, what type of slave needs to be paid minimum wage?

━Now this is really crossing the line. Was giving them leftovers not enough? Minimum wage, really?

Ah. It seemed that the slave owners were dissatisfied with the enactment of the Minimum Slave Rights Act that I had implemented a few months ago.

There was an episode in which the abused slaves united to revolt and caused a great amount of damage to the Kingdom. Hence, the Minimium Slave Rights Act was created to stop such a thing from happening again somehow.

━I can’t even fuck my female slave. Like, what? Slave sensitivity? I’m so mad that I can’t even speak. Tae-oh, that guy. Is it because he is the Queen’s slave, that he is extremely sensitive to slavery?

━That’s right. Hey, speaking of, wasn’t that Tae-oh bastard originally a slave too? A year or so ago, someone had seen that bastard being sold to the Lioness’s.

━Wow, then after he got sold out of slavery, he became the Queen’s secret concubine? Life is really weird. Now, slaves can have Human rights. On the subject of slavery—

Gadeudeuk-

I could hear Aira grinding her teeth. She was really holding up well. Was she trying to stay true to what I said before, ‘Don’t bother with the gossip about me?’

“They are just blindly cursing you. Tae-oh, you are not my slave. I never thought of you that way.”

Gooo, gwareureu- Gwareureureu- Dolkong- dolkong-

The surrounding objects began to react to Aira’s anger. The windows creaked, as the well-placed dishes fell to the floor, shattering and scattering all over.

Seuk-

With her palm on the table, Aira gently lifted her index finger.

Gwaooo- Dolkong- This made the shaking more intense.

This was the preparatory stage for the Rank 7 magic, Earthquake.

If this continued, the ground would really shake and everything would be buried in the soil.

━What is this, an earthquake? Why is the building shaking? Am I the only one who is feeling this? I haven’t even had a drink yet.

━I guess the time has come for the country to collapse. Now, stop nagging and have a drink.

━Alright, give me a drink.

No, if you thought that an earthquake was going to happen, you should run away, you idiots…

If the situation stayed like this, the building might really collapse and a catastrophe would occur. By then, Aira, who had tasted massacre, might awaken her slaughterer tendencies.

So I had to say something and prevent Aira from going any further.

“You, over there—”

━Hey, over there, stop it. Your loud voices are disturbing the other guests!

Someone interrupted the group that was gossiping about me. Thanks to that, Aira’s finger, which had been slightly lifted from the table, stopped.

━Oh, Sophie. Were our voices that loud?

━Yes, it was loud. It was so loud that the tavern was shaking!

━ No, that wasn’t because of us. It was an earthquake.

━Also, Tae-oh saved me. I don’t know where or what he did back then, but don’t curse my savior.

━Well, if anyone has that kind of power, isn’t it natural to be kind to your subordinates?

━Noisy! Do such people beat slaves?

━What are slaves? Are they also people or not, you reckon?

━Anyways, here. Two glasses of black beer and two pig hind legs. Eat this and be quiet.

She was Sophie, the freckled waitress I had saved. Just a while ago, she was about to be forcefully taken away by the tax collector and nearly beaten.

Thanks to her appearance, the men who insulted me were reprimanded and had to stop their gossiping. Thus, Aira’s anger began to subside.

“What a funny girl.”

“…It seems so.”

I exhaled a sigh of relief.

What I had done before was like the flap of a butterfly’s wings. It had created a chain that eventually came back to me. It was amazing that this had happened because I had saved that girl.

If this wasn’t karma, then what is?

“I, Bionoi, have come-!”

[T/N: 비-어-노-이 => Bi-eo-no-i with ‘eo’ pronounced as ‘Uh’ with an ‘O’ mouth shape]

Then, someone approached us from afar.

It was a girl with short, light amber hair and a youthful looking face. She appeared to be around 14 or 15 years old.

“Who called this Bionoi? I’m busy, but I always free up time for VIPs! That’s my trade skill!”

Distinguished by her short, pointed ears, she was Madame Bionoi, who ran the tavern “Nymph’s Ditch.” However, her outrageously luxurious dress looked quite ridiculous, as if she was wearing her mother’s clothes.

She also spoke like a child.

But no one knew how old she really was.

Nymphs were a strange race that looked young, no matter the age.

“Hello, nice to meet you, Ma’am, Sir!”

As Bionoi shouted in a loud voice, she placed our food down on the table. Aira, wiping the blood from her lips, smiled slightly.

“A real Nymph! So this is a Nymph.”

“I am Bionoi, the Nymph of the creek! However, who do you think you are, rudely pulling the cheeks of this Bionoi? That’s Nymphophobic—!”

“Look, it is different from a Human’s. It’s like a child’s cheek, so soft. Her ears are also pointy.”

“Don’t treat me like a child!”

Although Aira was the head of a country, it was her first time seeing a Nymph.

In the first place, Aira did not have a very broad scope in terms of Human relationships, and her range of activities were narrow.

Nymphs were also so rare that it was extremely hard to meet one.

“What do Nymphs like? Do you like candy like kids?”

Aira seemed to like the Nymph.

“Ahhh, you- You!”

At this time, the Nymph Manager Bionoi, who had her cheeks pulled by Aira, suddenly shouted as if she discovered something.

Maybe she noticed the powerful magic that Aira possessed? I had heard that Nymphs were innate Magicians, who dealt with mana in the air.

However, her eyes weren’t looking at Aira, but towards me!

“Ah, I got it!”

She scrutinized me from all directions before saying with outstretched arms, as if she had finally figured out something.

“A half, you’re a Half-Nymph!”
