<figure class="wp-block-pullquote"><blockquote>Chapter 49 of āAs A Result Of Breaking An Otome Game, The Villainess Young Lady Becomes A Cheat! (Part 1)ā
</blockquote></figure>\nI am Charlotte, the magic cheat girl.\n
Call me āChardonnayā!\n
Eh? Have you heard of me?\n
Yes, thatās right!\n
āChardonnayā is a grape variety used to make white wine!\n
It has a cute sound, and itās delicious, so I love it! Ehehe.\n
Today, I am going to make holy water at the table set in the corner of my favorite garden in order to defeat very scary ghostly demon beasts called [Illusion Wraiths] located on the 8th level of the dungeon!\n
Good luck, Chardonnay!\n
Salt. Water. Cup. White paper.\n
Apparently, these were the ingredients needed to make holy water, but Charlotte, the magic cheat girl, would not use them!\n
All I would need is clean water and a few dozen bottles with lids that would fit in my pocket and were easy to carry.\n
First, I had to put the clean water into the dozens of bottles on the table. I was not using any magic cheats here yet, so it was going to be tedious, but Iād just work with the number of bottles I had.\n
When I finished filling the bottles with water, I was sure to close the lids tightly. This was important!\n
After laying out dozens of bottles on the table, it was time for the magic cheat to come into play.\n
I held out my right hand and expanded the image of holy water in my mind!\n
All impurities will be purged and cleansed. Ghosts, diseases, and everything elseābecome dust in an instant. Annihilate all evil things!\n
ā[Holyā]ā\n
When Charlotte, the magic cheat girl, chanted the spell, a pure white, warm and gentle light enveloped the area.\n
After the light subsided, dozens of bottles filled with glittering liquid remained.\n
Com-ple-te!!! (***T/N: The word for āCompleteāĀ here was āKanseiā and it was separated by characterāāKa-n-se-iā)\n
Letās taste it right away~\n
I took one of the glittering bottles of holy water and opened the lid. Then I tipped it straight into my mouth and drank it all.\n
Th-This isā!!!\n
Itās like a refreshing appleā¦\n
And the taste of ripe pineappleā¦the flavor of this grapeā¦\n
This is definitely the āQueen of White Winesāāa true āChardonnayā taste!\n
Thatās what Iām talking about! Magic cheat girl Charlotte!\n
With thisā¦Iā¦!\n
āWhat are you doing? Charlotte.ā\n
My brother was standing right next to me.\n
āā¦Nn!?ā\n
My heart almost stopped.\n
When did heā!?\n
Demon Lord Lucas-sama appeared just like a phantom\n
Iām begging you, please appear normallyā¦\n
āUmā¦I was making holy water for the dungeon.ā\n
Brother sat next to me.\n
āHmm? Why did you drink it?ā\n
-Gulp-\n
How long has he been watching me?\n
āWell, uh, just tasting it? Likeā¦ā\n
āTasting it? Was it good?ā\n
āYes, it was. It was delicious!ā\n
āHmm. I thought you drank it because Ricardo kissed you.ā\n
My brotherās eyes narrowed as he smiled a dark smile.\n
āā¦Nnu!?ā\n
My face turned bright red in an instant.\n
āEhāN-Noā¦!!ā\n
W-Wait, if he says it like that, itās like saying Ricardo-sama is tainted!\n
Ricardo-sama is beautiful!\n
Rather, I amā¦\n
Ricardo-samaās soft lipsā¦\n
I canāt say that I wanted him to do it againā¦\n
Ahhhh!!!\n
Repeatedly flailing in agony, I was in a state similar to Munchās āThe Scream.ā (***T/N: This is that famous Scream painting by Edvard Munch.)\n
<figure class="aligncenter size-large"><figcaption>Charlotte the Scream</figcaption></figure>\nPurification! I must do more purification!!\n
As I was about to reach for another bottle of holy water, my brother looked in a certain direction and muttered.\n
āOh, Ricardo.ā\n
āWhatā¦?!?ā\n
āR-Ricardo-samā!?ā I bit my lip.\n
I looked closely and followed my brotherā line of sight, only to seeā¦\n
āMira!?ā\n
Mira happened to be passing by\n
He was surprised to be called by me.\n
I was deceivedā¦\n
I was tricked by my brotherā¦\n
There is no Ricardo-sama!!\n
I hung my head in disbelief and sank down on the table.\n
After receiving a surprise kiss on the cheek from Ricardo-sama that day, just hearing the word āRicardoā made me act suspiciously.\n
āWhat are you doing in a place such as this?ā\n
I could tell by the sound of his voice that Mira was approaching me.\n
The respectful tone was probably due to the presence of my brother.\n
I decided to keep my face down and listen to their conversation.\n
āAn observation of Charlotte, perhaps? Why donāt you sit down?ā\n
āObservation?ā¦H-Hey!ā\n
āThank you very much. What happened to Charlotte?ā\n
āOh, sheās fine. Itās just because of what happened yesterday.ā\n
āAhā¦that thing?ā\n
āWell, sheāll get better soon.ā\n
When my brother said that, I got goosebumps.\n
Huh? What is thisā¦I can feel a lot of eyes on me.\n
Am I being watched?!?\n
No, no, no!\n
Donāt look up! Charlotte!\n
āā¦You look scary.ā\n
āHmm? Did you say something?ā\n
āNoā¦Youāre too close!ā\n
Apparently, my brother was closing in on Mira.\n
āYou donāt have to act like such a stranger.ā\n
āEhā¦butā¦ā\n
āJust act comfortable, like Charlotte.ā\n
āā¦ā¦ā\n
Mira was silent for a while.\n
Yes. Yes. I understand what you are going through.\n
Demon Lord Lucas is scary.\n
āā¦What is it?ā\n
āNothing! I understand!ā\n
āWellā¦good. So what do you think of this?ā\n
I glanced up and looked at Mira.\n
My brother was handing one of the bottles to Mira.\n
Upon receiving it, Mira turned the bottle around.\n
āIāve been wondering about this pile of jars. Theyāre glitteringā¦what are they?ā\n
Miraās eyes glittered with a hint of curiosity.\n
Glitteringā¦what? Isnāt it just the reflection of the light from the bottle?\n
āWhy donāt you try your āAppraisalā? You can do it, right?ā\n
āI canā¦butā¦ā\n
Miraās face was plainly confused.\n
I guess he thought that we didnāt know about it.\n
Miraās secret ability was [Appraisal].\n
He was a young genius magic tool developer.\n
And it was none other than the [Appraisal]that raised the level of his abilities.\n
It was the reason why Mira was able to develop so many new magic tools.\n
I knew about this from the game, butā¦Did my brother investigate this thing that Mira was hiding, or did he āseeā itā¦?\n
Heās still a scary guy.\n
Iām not sure if he realized that it was useless to argue with Lucas, but Mira began his āAppraisalā while mumbling.\n
ā[High Quality Holy Water. Effects are immediate and outstanding. Effective on diseases, curses, and demon beasts without a physical body. Can be sprinkled on the target, or be ingested. Itās exquisite white wine (non-alcoholic) flavor will take you to heaven]ā¦What!?ā\n
Mira almost dropped the small bottle of holy water without thinking.\n
I also raised my face with a start.\n
ā¦What an effect.\n
ā¦Cheat-san is scary.\n
It canāt just lure people to the heavens!\n
Well, Iām glad I survivedā¦\n
It was delicious, though.\n
Yes. It was really good.\n
ā¦I mean, there was no alcohol in it, but I could still make white wine!!\n
Yahoo!!!\n
āCharlotte?ā\n
Thatās not goodā¦What should I do?\n
I couldnāt turn my head to the side because I was afraid of my brother.\n
He was definitely smiling. He was smiling with the face of a Demon Lord!\n
Should I just cover it up?\n
Teehee~ Can I do it? I can do it, right?\n
āPandoraās Boxā¦ā\n
Mira muttered with a straight face.\n
Donāt call me āPandoraās Boxā!!!\n
No, no, no, no!\n
I know youāre upset, but youāre just as bad as I am, right!?!\n
Research idiot Mira!!!!\n
After that, needless to say, I was lectured by <s>the Demon Lord</s> my brotherā¦\n
Dozens of holy watersĀ were all confiscated and sealed deep underground the Avi family home.\n
Of course, it was also forbidden to make them without my brotherās permission.\n
Even though I was finally able to make white wine (non-alcoholic)!! -sobs-\n
The holy water for the dungeon was made under the watchful eye of Big brother and Mira. It was completed successfully.\n
I couldnāt tell you how many bottles of holy water I had to put in storage before I finishedā¦\n
Well, in any case, the next step was to defeat the Illusion Wraiths on the dungeonās eighth level!\n
Iāll do my best! Letās go!\n
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\n
T/N: <s>Holy Water</s> White wine acquired! Cheers~\n
