Please Bully Me, Miss Villainess!

In addition to the complete water supply system, a pedal-operated washing trough was installed.

“Wow~~~ So fun!”

Adopting an energy-saving roller design, even slightly older children could easily step on it to rotate the washing shaft.

Just by pedaling like a unicycle, four rows of wooden shafts with washing hammers would rotate in the washing trough, making the water inside flow.

This labor-saving bulk washing device could wash dozens of bed sheets at once, saving a lot of manpower.

“This is such a great help~ Changing everyone’s bed sheets was always so strenuous before.”

Delia rubbed her still slightly sore arms, smiling wryly.

“I’m glad it’s helpful.”

“Evie…”

Looking at all the new equipment, although she felt happy like everyone else, Elsa couldn’t help but worry:

“So many things must have cost a lot of money… Is it really alright?”

Even though Yvonne was originally nobility, this much money was quite substantial for her current situation.

Having lived with her for so long, Elsa knew that Yvonne was usually very frugal with money.

After being exiled, Yvonne wasn’t so well-off anymore. This money could have been spent on more important things for her, yet she used it to help the relief agency…

Was it for her sake?

“It’s fine, I think it’s worth it.”

This money was carefully considered and exchanged for ‘villain points’.

“I wanted to do this myself, so don’t think too much about it… Just accept it happily, that will make me happier too.”

She said with a slightly red face. After all, the points were obtained by bullying Elsa, so she wanted to spend them on things that would make Elsa happy if possible.

This was also to strengthen her own resolve.

“Evie~~ I love you—!!”

Elsa was so moved she wanted to rush over and hug her.

However, just as she touched her arm, Yvonne showed an expression as if stung by something, reflexively jumping back a big step:

“How-how many times have I told you, don’t suddenly come close like this!!”

Yvonne’s face flushed red, her arms tightly hugging her chest, her overreaction looking quite angry.

Who would have thought just touching her arm would cause such a big reaction.

Was that half-step backward serious?

Elsa felt very hurt.

Seeing Yvonne still avoiding her, she teared up, looking like she was about to cry:

“Evie, I’ve been reflecting, I really know I was wrong—”

“…I think you should reflect for a few more days.”

“Evie—!!”

After saying this, she quickly left without looking back.

As expected…

As expected, she’s been disliked!

Elsa was incredibly dejected, feeling like all color had drained from her life. These past few days, whenever she approached Yvonne, she would overreact like this and quickly hide far away.

She even directly asked Sister Delia for a key, cleared out a new room in the empty nun’s dormitory, and moved in.

Even now, she was angrily walking away with her back turned, completely unwilling to look back at Elsa.

“Sister Elsa, don’t cry, don’t cry~”

“Sister, you need to cheer up.”

Curled up on the ground hugging her head, Elsa wailed to the earth:

“What on earth should I do~~~!!”

To say she was angry, that wasn’t really it.

After all, several days had passed since the aphrodisiac incident. No matter how angry or ashamed she felt, it had already faded quite a bit.

Elsa hadn’t noticed, but even Yvonne’s ear tips had turned bright red as she turned her back and walked away.

Again…

It’s taking effect again.

For some reason, the drug’s effects from that day seemed to still not have dissipated. Even more terrifying was that this potent effect even showed a trend of intensifying day by day.

Normally, contact with other people was fine, completely without issue. But—only with Elsa, even slight touches would cause her body to react with sensitivity several times beyond normal. That’s why she deliberately put on this cold attitude towards Elsa’s intimate gestures, keeping her thousands of miles away, all to avoid situations like just now—

One hand against the wall, the flush on her face still not dispersed, she rubbed her chest with her hand, wanting to quickly calm the palpitations from just now.

Just now, with just a slight touch, she felt as if all the nerve cells in her body had been electrified, leaving her numb and nearly collapsing to the ground.

If in this state she was suddenly hugged as usual, it was truly unimaginable what terrifying things might happen.

…Just thinking about it was already leaving her breathless.

When purchased goods have quality issues, as a consumer, one naturally needs to seek an explanation from the merchant.

Fortunately, Capella wasn’t very large. After several inquiries and giving some bribes, Yvonne quickly found the unscrupulous merchant who had sold the aphrodisiac at the festival.

“To dare sell such dangerous drugs mixed with demon blood… If I hand over this evidence, how many years do you think you’ll spend in prison?”

Twirling the empty bottle in her hand, the villainess asked with a kind smile.

This villain face’s oppressive aura was quite effective. The merchant, scared into a cold sweat, repeatedly begged for mercy:

“This-this young lady… I’m just a middleman reseller… I need to make a living too, I have elderly parents and young children to support, please spare me, young lady! I didn’t make that drug!!”

“Then tell me the information about that pharmacist!”

Under the villainess’s continuous terrifying interrogation, the merchant finally revealed some information about that mysterious alchemist:

“That strange foreigner has apparently been drinking at the ‘Whisperer’ bar in town recently, you should be able to find her there!!”

The ‘Whisperer’ bar…

Yvonne silently repeated this name, feeling somewhat upset.

She hadn’t expected her search would lead her to such a place.

“I often go to that bar and am familiar with the owner, but that place only opens at night. Little miss, are you sure you want to go to such a place alone?”

The restaurant owner who had been listening on the side couldn’t help but interject.

“At night, there are many strange characters there. For a young lady like yourself, going to such a place alone is quite dangerous.”

“It’s fine, could you tell me the detailed address?”

With a polite smile, Yvonne pressed her slender fingers against the offered silver coin, pushing it across the table to the owner, who immediately broke into a wide smile:

“Of course, that’s no problem~”

However, being a girl, it would be a lie to say she wasn’t afraid.

But to resolve the lingering issue with her body,

Yvonne made up an excuse to slip out, and for safety, she brought along Sphinx, wearing riding pants and boots as she came to the bar late at night.

She loosely tied Sphinx’s reins to a nearby wooden stake.

“Listen carefully, if you hear me whistle, it means I’m in danger. Sphinx, you rush in to help me.”

“Hiss—Hiss!”

The swift dragon Sphinx was quite intelligent, able to understand human speech. Its combat ability was comparable to more than ten adult men. Right now, there was no more reliable bodyguard than it. After Yvonne’s instructions, it stood up straight seriously, its tail making a turn, indicating it would stand by on the spot.
