Please Bully Me, Miss Villainess!

25: Midsummer's Fruit 3



“Evie… doesn’t it feel like this semester passed so quickly? Is it just my imagination?”

 

Fanning herself with a paper fan made from her final exam results, the protagonist Elsa expressed this sentiment,

 

“You transferred here midway, of course it feels fast to you.”

 

After all, she had only been here for half a semester, so it was natural to feel it was short.

 

While tidying up the pile of books on her desk, Yvonne casually replied.

 

The schools in Oz Kingdom follow a two-semester system per year, with winter and summer breaks, and regular academic assessments. The high school division is divided into three grades, and the school has clubs, a student council, and even holds school festivals—all aspects strongly reminiscent of Japanese school activities. Except for most of the learning content being replaced with magic-related subjects, adding a fantastical flavor, these mixed elements still made one want to comment critically,

 

Although the “Wings of the Heart” game world setting is a Western fantasy world of swords and magic, to give the largest base of student players a sense of immersion, even in this magical fantasy world, they set up schools in a pattern similar to the real world.

 

However, being able to enjoy campus life in another world like this is still quite nice, so let’s not dwell on these issues…

 

After finishing the last subject, “Advanced Magic: Elemental Combination Studies,” the final exams were declared over, signaling the arrival of summer vacation.

 

The content she had learned in the noble school in the big city before transferring was no longer sufficient, so the second half of the semester’s content started to become a bit challenging. This exam was Yvonne’s victory, so her mood was slightly better.

 

“Evie~ Are you done? It’s so hot today, I want to go home quickly and eat some ice cream…”

 

There was still ice cream Yvonne had made in the refrigerator at home, which she had been thinking about recently,

 

“Almost done, you can go ahead if you want.”

 

“How could I do that? I want to go back with Evie.”

 

“Then be good and wait.”

 

“Okay~”

 

Sitting on the desk opposite her, swinging her bare feet with a girlish charm,

 

Really…

 

Before leaving school, shouldn’t she at least tidy up her own seat?

 

But it became this messy because she didn’t tidy up much usually.

 

After all, it’s a two-and-a-half-month summer vacation; she didn’t want her seat to become a big camp for insects.

 

Yvonne had a headache when it came to “organizing things.” Although she could arrange things neatly at first, every time by the second or third day, her surroundings would become messy again. This was a bad habit left from her previous life. Even though in this life she tried hard to become a clean and tidy, elegant noble, this habit still couldn’t be changed.

 

“No good… it’s still so hot.”

 

Elsa stuck out her tongue like a little dog, then untied her ribbon and unbuttoned to the third button,

 

“…Hey hey, what kind of appearance is that.”

 

Yvonne finally couldn’t bear it anymore, and couldn’t help but stop organizing her books,

 

“Isn’t this cooler?”

 

“Be more mindful… you’re still a girl.”

 

Yvonne was quite helpless. She put down the book in her hand and went to Elsa’s side to button up her shirt,

 

“At least button up the third button, your underwear is almost visible! Look, your skirt is rolled up too!”

 

Really… is this kind of person really the protagonist?!

 

Be more careful, save these fan service moments for the capture targets, what’s the point of showing them to a villainous character like me.

 

“What’s wrong? Is it really that hot?”

 

After buttoning up her shirt, Yvonne reached down to her thigh to smooth out her rolled-up skirt hem, then looked at Elsa’s flushed face and asked in confusion.

 

She thought it was fine.

 

“…A little.”

 

Elsa turned her head away guiltily,

 

Thanks to her, her heart became restless again.

 

“You’re really helpless, I’ll make an exception and give you this.”

 

Saying this, Yvonne gently held up her hand.

 

Eh? Eh—

 

What is she going to do? Could it be… a proposal?

 

Elsa was too shy to speak, of course, the proposal was just her delusion.

 

“Don’t let go.”

 

—”Wind Spirit’s Mischief”—

 

After holding her hand, Yvonne began to silently recite the incantation for a wind spell.

 

A cool sensation instantly spread throughout her body, carrying away the stuffy heat,

 

“…So cool!”

 

Feeling quite amazed, Elsa opened her eyes wide, her eyes twinkling, as if she had discovered a new continent.

 

“I didn’t know magic could be used like this! Amazing!! Evie, your magical control is really good!!”

 

It was the same that day in the restaurant. Although Yvonne’s magical power was clearly not as high as her own, this kind of precise control of magic was an advanced skill that she couldn’t achieve.

 

“Ah… in your case, it’s probably because you were born with too much magical power, so you find it difficult to control.”

 

Yvonne recalled the settings for the protagonist Dorothy. Although she was naturally gifted as a magic user, there were also several instances in the main storyline where she nearly caused danger due to losing control of her magic. It seems her ability in this aspect was indeed lacking.

 

It looks like she’ll need to teach her how to control her power later, to prevent any future problems.

 

Otherwise, with her current meager power, how could she stop Dorothy if she goes berserk…

 

Thinking of that hellish scene, Yvonne felt a chill in her heart.

 

“If you grasp the key points, it’s not that difficult. If you want to learn how to control it, I can teach you.”

 

Holding her hand, she smiled gently and said,

 

W-what’s going on!!

 

Elsa felt her heartbeat couldn’t slow down at all.

 

Because today’s Yvonne was too gentle

 

Ever since that small episode last time, she had been granting her every request.

 

If she had to say, it was almost like—

 

Almost like a mother.

 

Like a mother…

 

Mother……

 

Crack—

 

Realizing this point, as if struck by lightning, Elsa felt her whole being split open.

 

No no no… it’s definitely not like that!!

 

But sneaking another glance at Yvonne’s loving gaze towards her, her heart instantly became unsure again.

 

‘Sister really likes taking care of people. Miss Dorothy, be careful, once you enter such a passive relationship, it becomes very difficult to become lovers.’

 

Recalling what Garth had said to her, she suddenly felt uneasy.

 

Her relationship with Evie… could it have upgraded from friends to mother and daughter?!

 

Uwah~~ This wasn’t the relationship upgrade she wanted!!

 

Yvonne was completely unaware of Elsa’s complicated expression due to her actions.

 

“Alright— that’s enough, we can’t keep this up forever, you might catch a cold.”

 

It was cool enough now, Yvonne let go of her hand, and the wind stopped flowing.

 

“I’ve finished tidying up here, we’ve stayed at school for quite a while, let’s go home quickly.”

 

“…Mm.”

 

Her fingertips still retained her warmth,

 

The sense of separation after the brief physical contact left her feeling somewhat lost.

Splash splash splash—

 

The weather in June can change suddenly, especially in a coastal area, making it even more unpredictable.

 

It was clear just a moment ago, but now it had become overcast with dark clouds.

 

By the time the two reached the exit, it was pouring rain.

 

“No wonder it felt so stuffy earlier… it was going to rain after all.”

 

Ding—

 

Hearing this special sound effect, Yvonne instantly got goosebumps.

 

The system’s notification sound came.
