Please Bully Me, Miss Villainess!

“Summer vacation plans, huh…”

When asked about this, she had an ice pop she made herself in her mouth.

“Mm-hmm, isn’t Evie going back to see her parents?”

Many students who weren’t locals had gone back to their hometowns, which is why she raised this question.

“No… it’s too far away, and transportation isn’t convenient. Moreover…”

“Moreover?”

As her words faltered, her expression became somewhat melancholic,

“…Unlike me, who has been released, Father is still under surveillance.”

Every letter sent by her father showed signs of having been opened, evidence of being inspected.

Although Yvonne also wanted to see her family, rashly making any suspicious moves would be disadvantageous for her father.

“I’m sorry…”

Elsa felt very guilty, not knowing what to say

“Don’t make that face, it has nothing to do with you, right?”

Seeing the expression on her face, Yvonne waved her hands consolingly,

…No, actually it does have something to do with her.

She knew that.

“What about you? Now that it’s vacation, don’t you have somewhere to go back to?”

Yvonne asked probingly,

Because she had played this game to some extent, Yvonne knew—the protagonist Elsa grew up in a relief agency in a small town in the central region. There was a nun who raised her, and many younger siblings who were like family to her.

Moreover…

She thought of an important matter.

The summer vacation of the first semester… at this point in time, it should be the node for entering the second important character encounter plot.

During summer vacation, Elsa, returning to the convent under the pretext of visiting relatives, meets the second male lead there—the silver-haired Demon King.

Although there were over 50 capture targets, this game seemed to be intentionally made into a classic two-faction choice model. The main storyline that didn’t require microtransactions to unlock mainly revolved around these two male protagonists.

Because this young Demon King had a more beautiful appearance, and had the popular classic domineering CEO character setting, his popularity was even higher than the prince who was the first male lead.

At the time, due to the antagonistic relationship between the characters, there were quite a few fans with “purple glasses” saying ‘These two are the perfect match!’, and large amounts of BL art of these two characters often circulated on certain websites.

Although the encounter plot with the second prince had been brought forward, these two didn’t seem to have sparked any chemistry.

If she returns to the relief agency… triggering a new plot development seems inevitable.

Of course, if Elsa could successfully trigger the second male lead’s plot and go down that route, it might be a good thing for Yvonne.

Yvonne hadn’t completed the game, she had just happened to see some spoilers. It was said that if one followed the Demon King’s route, the demon race and humans would reach a truce—if things developed this way, perhaps the accusation of treason against her father could be cleared.

“I’m going to make good use of this holiday, earn more money to send back!”

Unexpectedly, Elsa denied this point, proudly showing off her summer vacation schedule in front of Yvonne.

“From today onwards, I’m going to work intensively!”

“…What kind of part-time warrior are you!”

Looking at her fully packed schedule, Yvonne couldn’t help but comment,

At this rate, except for coming back at night, there’s basically no rest time at all!

However… it looks like she will continue to deviate from the main storyline as usual.

Thinking of this, Yvonne felt as if a weight had been lifted from her heart.

But…

Somehow, hearing her plans gave her a sense of relief.

“Don’t worry too much, I’m not going anywhere.”

She leaned in close, smiling as she said,

“I’ll try to come back early at night, so don’t feel lonely because you miss me too much, okay?”

“I don’t think that way at all!!”

Yvonne gritted her teeth and retorted angrily, but the blush on her face had already betrayed her true thoughts.

Actually, Elsa had originally planned that if Yvonne was going to visit her parents, she would go along to meet her future parents-in-law, and ask the elders to entrust their daughter to her with peace of mind.

Since there’s no such opportunity, that plan will have to be put on hold for now.

The most important thing right now is still to save money,

Whether it’s to support the relief agency or for their future together, she needs enough money.

This was Elsa’s current thinking, although simple, it was also very practical,

“…Then keep up the good work.”

Seeing her full of motivation, Yvonne was also considering whether to help out a bit at the Leinster family’s guild.

With her connections, she might even be able to find an easier job for Elsa.

“Letter chu! Letter chu!”

The sound of tapping on the window came, it was the voice of the messenger Biidori.

“Eh… why is the reply so quick this time?”

Yvonne was a bit puzzled, she had just sent out her family letter not long ago, logically there shouldn’t be a reply so soon.

She opened the window, and this small gray round ball flapping wings disproportionate to its body landed on the table. It pulled out the envelope from its thick feathers and handed it to Elsa, then flapped its wings and flew away.

“It’s for me?”

Elsa was also surprised,

Since moving here, this was the first time she had received a letter like this.

“Ah, it’s a letter from the relief agency!”

Seeing the postmark on the seal indicating the sending address as ‘Capella’, the city-state where the relief agency was located, Elsa finally realized where this letter came from.

The yellowed and old envelope looked like it had been stored in some corner for many years and suddenly dug out for use when needed one day.

“Did you tell them this address?”

“Yes, didn’t I ask you when I sent money last time?”

“Oh right… I remember now.”

Now that she mentioned it, Yvonne recalled that last month, when Elsa wanted to send some money to the relief agency through the local guild, she had asked if she could tell them the address, and Yvonne had nodded in agreement.

What could it be…

Elsa quickly opened the envelope, which wasn’t sealed very tightly. Inside was only a scrap of paper that seemed to have been torn from somewhere,

Looking at the content, it appeared to be the last page of the “Holy Scripture”.

The handwriting was childish, like a child just learning to write, crooked and slanted.

Children raised in the convent generally received strict theological education and were not allowed to damage those precious books.

So… what could be the message that was so urgent it required tearing the “Holy Scripture” to convey…

When Elsa understood what was written, her face suddenly turned pale.

“…What should I do, Evie!!”

She looked at Yvonne with an expression of such urgency it seemed she might cry.

Yvonne was also startled by her reaction.

“May I take a look?”

She handed the letter to Yvonne with trembling hands,

Yvonne struggled to decipher the characters, and finally obtained the only effective message consisting of one sentence:

‘Sister… come back, Delia… danger’
