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~
Itâs too hard to wake up. To think that the person I didnât want to meet the most would appear at this timingâŠ
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]
Ceciliaâs smile was flawless. I was lured into it and it made me smile too.
Maybe itâs because the two of us talked about our lives yesterday. It felt like we were closer to each other than before.
[Itâs nice weather today, so why donât we go out somewhere? We can go anywhere Fate likes.]
[Good, thenâŠ]
While recovering from my sleepiness, I thought about the destination.
Itâs 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 appet.i.te.]
[Thatâs right. The bugs living in my stomach couldnât 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 youâre ready.]
[Yeah, looking forward to our destination.]
[Sure, letâs 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 pa.s.sed 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.
The fresh fruits and vegetables lined up in the open were probably grown by beastmen.
None of the elvesâ 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.]
[The way it looked yesterday, itâs a long way off.]
The elves, led by Georg, seemed to be enjoying the reincarnation ceremony.
For beastmen, itâs a terrifying ritual that forcefully turns them into monsters.
Their positions are too different.
Itâs the same for us humans. It is difficult to let go of oneâs inherent vested interests.
Depending on their skills, there are those who have it and those who donât. Those who had money often came from good families and did not have to struggle to make a living. However, there were very few people who reached out to those who had nothing.
Roxyâs smiling face appeared in my mind. She extended her hand to me, a person who didnât have anything.
I feel like Cecilia resembles Roxy in some way. Maybe thatâs why I want to help herâŠ
A way for elves and beastmen to join hands. As a newcomer, I still couldnât imagine it.
[You look as if youâre troubled again. Thank you.]
[Huh?]
[Since itâs you Fate, you must be thinking about the relationship between elves and beastmen, right?]
She guessed correctly, so I nodded wordlessly.
Cecilia was in a good mood when she saw this. I wonder if itâs because I found friends with the same ideasâŠ
She is an elf and involved. Iâm a human and an outsider. Even though our views and positions are different, Cecilia is probably optimistic.
In that respect, she was similar to Roxy.
[Well, here we are.]
[This isâŠ]
The appearance somehow reminded me of a bar I frequented in Seyfert, the royal capital.
I entered the bar with a mixture of nostalgia and loneliness.
The barkeeper was not a man, but a cheerful-looking woman. The interior was so glamorous and calm that itâs hard to believe itâs a bar, reflecting her personality. It seemed comfortable even after spending a long time there.
[How about some food while you enjoy some drinks?]
Cecilia asked me as she took her seat.
Thereâs no need to ask. I like the atmosphere of the bar. The aroma of the food wafting through the air seemed delicious, and I couldnât wait to taste it.
[This is a good place]
[Ehehe, thatâs right. Itâs my favorite bar, so the food is delicious and the drinks are great.]
[Hoooo.]
[Looking at your sparkling eyes, I know itâs worth inviting you. Glad youâre feeling better.]
