Please Bully Me, Miss Villainess!

17: A Blessing in Disguise 3



That young lady of the Smolet family was now lying on her lap.

 

“—Lap pillow.”

 

This was the request she had made.

 

“I want this—’Maid’s Lap Pillow’ service. You have that, right?”

 

Tapping her knuckle on one of the set menu services, she asked with a dark face.

 

“As a customer, I’m requesting you for service—Do I have to teach you even this much?”

 

The current Yvonne had completely transformed back into that overbearing young lady she was familiar with, and for some reason, she looked very angry.

 

“…This way, please, Miss.”

 

Having no choice, Elsa could only lead this Miss who had requested her to the ‘Sea Breeze’ outdoor garden dining area. She took off her shoes on the laid-out lunch mat.

 

And so she lay down on Elsa’s lap.

 

The faint citrusy fragrance emanating from her neck made Elsa’s heart race.

 

Why…

 

Why had things turned out this way…

“—I want to request a maid.”

 

…She really said it.

 

“Certainly, which of our maid services would you like?”

 

Mr. Cent, the owner, asked with a smile while polishing a glass.

 

“Of course, the full set.”

 

Clink clink—

 

The young lady pulled out an entire bag full of silver coins and placed it on the table, making a pleasing sound. This grand gesture amazed many of the customers present.

 

The powerful aura she emitted left no doubt about her seriousness.

 

So… Owner~~~ What should I do now?!

 

Elsa shot a pleading look towards Mr. Cent, but to her surprise, Mr. Cent gave her a slight nod and a thumbs up.

 

Does he mean ‘go ahead and do it’?!

 

You’ve got to be kidding—!!

And that’s how it turned into the current situation.

 

“This… Could this be bullying?”

 

Her answer, however, was negative.

 

“It’s not.”

 

“…I see.”

 

Although her heart was racing from the physical contact, now wasn’t the time to reveal these feelings.

 

“This is really too much… Is even this kind of service within the allowed range?”

 

The person in question was still lying on her lap, critiquing her service.

 

“No, this is too improper! As your guardian, I absolutely won’t allow it!”

 

“Since when did Evie become my guardian…”

 

Elsa couldn’t help but retort.

 

“Hmph, if I were an ill-intentioned man, you might be taken advantage of right now, you know?!”

 

Although her angry expression was cute, it also made Elsa a bit nervous.

 

“But… this is part of the job.”

 

“Then would you give a lap pillow to strange men? I don’t want you doing this kind of work.”

 

Hearing this reason, Elsa’s face suddenly turned red, leaving her speechless.

 

Although she knew the other party didn’t mean it that way, it sounded just like an extremely possessive lover.

 

Why could she always so easily say things that made her heart flutter?

 

“If it’s a money issue, just tell me. I can help you.”

 

Leaning against her, she sighed softly.

 

After seeing the looks from those ill-intentioned men in the shop, Yvonne became even more determined.

 

“…No, I can’t take your money.”

 

However, Elsa rejected her proposal.

 

“I’m willing to give you money, I won’t ask you to pay it back, and I won’t add interest. Why not?”

 

She didn’t quite understand the protagonist’s thinking.

 

Elsa’s face grew even redder. She paused, hesitated, but still voiced her thoughts:

 

“…I want to become equals with Evie, the kind of relationship where we can support each other!”

 

In simple terms, the kind that can get married.

 

“So, I need to have my own income! Otherwise…”

 

“Otherwise?”

 

“If I keep relying on you financially, I won’t be able to hold my head up in front of you!!”

 

Hearing these words, Yvonne felt a bit moved.

 

So… this is what she was thinking?

 

In her previous life, Yvonne had also grown up in a family that wasn’t very well-off. From a young age, she didn’t have much pocket money, so if she wanted to buy something, she had to earn it herself. Therefore, she could empathize with this kind of thinking.

 

Does this mean… she wants to become closer to me?

 

“Alright, since you feel that way…”

 

Since she had said this much, Yvonne couldn’t stop her anymore.

 

Although sometimes she didn’t quite understand her thoughts, it seemed it wasn’t as complicated as she had imagined.

 

“Actually, I don’t mind if you do normal part-time work like before… but this kind of badge-wearing job is absolutely not allowed! Understood?”

 

“Mm…”

 

She wanted to answer more clearly, but when she spoke, her voice became softer instead.

 

“If Evie doesn’t want me to… then I won’t do it.”

 

Agreeing softly, she smiled sweetly again, pink flowers seeming to bloom around her.

 

Looking up at that smile, Yvonne was a bit dazed.

 

Strange…

 

She was being overly obedient today.

 

She wasn’t clinging to her or doing anything excessive.

 

Was it because she had acted a bit more assertive? It seems this girl responds well to this approach…

 

Yvonne added another note to her mental ‘How to Handle the Protagonist’ notebook.

 

Just then, a system task popped up in front of her.

 

Ah—

 

Today’s bullying task had arrived.

 

The moment she saw the task, her heart skipped a beat.

 

[Remove one piece of clothing from the target ‘Elsa’.]

 

…!!

 

No way??

 

In a place like this?

 

Take… take off her clothes??

 

“What’s wrong?”

 

Seeing Yvonne suddenly turn pale while lying on her lap, Elsa asked worriedly.

 

“It’s nothing… I just suddenly want to bully you.”

 

To avoid arousing suspicion, she could only continue playing the role of the villain.

 

Hearing this cute bullying declaration, the maid’s face reddened slightly. Placing a hand on her chest, she said with a smile:

 

“I’m your exclusive maid now, so you can do whatever you want to me, Miss.”

 

This suggestive, alluring smile was truly disorienting.

 

If I were a man, I probably would have been captivated by her already, right?

 

Yvonne thought wildly.

 

Too many things had happened today, leaving her feeling confused.

 

But… since it’s ‘bullying,’ I must treat it properly.

 

Her gaze wandered over Elsa’s body, unaware that just her eyes were making the other party’s heart race.

 

…As for clothes,

 

Anything within the range of ‘clothing’ should count, right?

 

To be safe, I’ve decided on this—!!

 

“—You said it yourself.”

 

She reached out her hand.

 

…Eh?

 

Unexpectedly for Elsa, she directly grabbed the white ribbon tied around her neck.

 

This, this is…

 

Could it be…!!

 

“That’ll do.”

 

After removing the ribbon, the task was completed, and Yvonne finally breathed a sigh of relief.

 

Today’s task was unexpectedly easy. Sometimes the system’s judgment was surprisingly lenient, which was truly fortunate.

 

However, after having her ribbon removed, Elsa’s demeanor became strange.

 

“Evie… you’re unexpectedly bold.”

 

Breathing in small gasps, her chest revealed snow-white skin tinged with pink, and her face had turned completely red.

 

Yvonne had a bad feeling.

 

—!!

 

She remembered,

 

Removing the ribbon—also meant wanting to do that kind of thing with a maid, she had read it in novels before.

 

It’s over, she’ll definitely misunderstand…

 

Sure enough, once the switch was flipped, there was no stopping it.

 

“If it’s Evie, I’m willing~~ It’s absolutely no problem!!!”

 

“How many times have I told you not to suddenly hug me—”

 

This girl is definitely cuter when she’s more serious!!
