Please Bully Me, Miss Villainess!

9: Is This Bullying?



“That should be everything.”

 

Stacking the last bundle of scrolls on the table, she peeked out from behind the towering pile of documents, sweat beading on her forehead alongside her sparkling smile.

 

“Thank you so much! Waah, nobody else was willing to help, I’m so glad you’re here, Ellie—”

 

Finally finishing organizing a mountain of files and documents with the student’s help, the petite teacher with round glasses let out a cry of relief, expressing her gratitude repeatedly.

 

Although her mother was human, because her father was from the small folk race, Yuna’s body was naturally much smaller than average due to genetic influence. She was shorter than many students, which also diminished her authority as a teacher, much to her dismay.

 

“No need to be so formal, Teacher. If you need help next time, you can always call on me.”

 

Looking at her innocent smile, Yuna was deeply moved once again.

 

What a good child…

 

The down-to-earth aura she exuded from her commoner background also made Yuna feel close to her.

 

But… such a good child…

 

“Ellie, wait a moment. I’d like to ask you something.”

 

Thinking of this, Yuna’s eyes behind her glasses became serious.

 

“Is there something else, Teacher?”

 

Looking at this child blinking her innocent and confused eyes, she hesitated for a moment, but still decided to bring up the question gently:

 

“Well… Ellie, how’s your school life going recently?”

 

As she asked this, Yuna observed Elsa’s shoulders tremble slightly, but she quickly regained her usual smile:

 

“…It’s going quite well. Why do you ask, Teacher?”

 

“Ah ha ha… Because Ellie transferred here from elsewhere, so I was a bit worried about you… wondering if this child might be facing any difficulties… If not, that’s great.”

 

Of course, there was a reason for asking this. Yuna had heard some rumors.

 

It seemed that someone might be bullying this child, which concerned her greatly.

 

“Thank you for your concern, Teacher. It’s almost lunchtime now, and I promised to eat with a friend, so I’ll have to excuse myself—”

 

“Alright, take care.”

 

After waving goodbye, watching her small figure gradually disappear, the worry in her heart still couldn’t dissipate.

 

That child… could she be forcing herself?

This worry was soon confirmed afterward.

 

“Uwah!! Watch out—”

 

“Ellie…?”

 

It was now lunchtime, and Yuna was heading to the school cafeteria when she encountered Elsa carrying a towering stack of food.

 

“Teacher Yuna! What a coincidence to see you again.”

 

“Why are you carrying so much? Are you eating all this by yourself??”

 

Yuna looked up, dumbfounded. The lunchboxes stacked like a small mountain were even taller than her.

 

This amount… was clearly more than one person could eat.

 

“Ah… this… I’m buying it for others, not just for myself.”

 

“Isn’t it too much for you to carry all this? Do you need my help?”

 

“It’s fine, I’m taking this to the lawn in the west wing. It’s not on your way, is it, Teacher?”

 

“…You’re going that far?!”

 

Wouldn’t she have to run across half the school carrying all this? Just thinking about it was exhausting!!

 

Who on earth would be so excessive—

 

“Besides, I have to do this all by myself… It wouldn’t be good to trouble you, Teacher.”

 

As she said this, Elsa forced a smile.

 

From her words, Yuna sensed something amiss.

 

Why did it have to be her?

 

Would someone get angry if Ellie didn’t bring it over personally?

 

Wait a minute, could this be…

 

Bullying??

 

“Ellie.”

 

Yuna looked up at her student with a serious expression.

 

“…Eh? What is it, Teacher?”

 

“If you ever face any difficulties, make sure to tell the teacher, okay?!”

 

“…Alright?”

 

Although a bit confused, after glancing up at the clock tower, she no longer had the mind to ask further.

 

“Ah—Not good, I’m running out of time. I have to go now, goodbye, Teacher!”

 

…Would there be punishment if she’s late??

 

Yuna’s mind conjured up an image of Elsa being threatened by bad kids, looking pitifully helpless.

 

Uwah—Ellie is too pitiful!!

 

As a teacher, how could she stand by and watch her student fall into trouble!

 

Being bullied like this every day, why won’t she tell the teacher?

 

Yuna felt heartbroken.

 

But thinking carefully, the reason she might not want to tell her could be that she received threats like ‘If you tell the teacher, you’re finished.’

 

—If that’s the case, I’ll step in and stop it myself!!

 

Thinking this, she clenched her small fist, made up her mind, and secretly followed.

“…You’re too slow!”

 

Yvonne couldn’t help but complain.

 

So slow, she was almost worried to death.

 

She thought Elsa might have been troubled by someone on the way again.

 

“Evie… I’m sorry! I ran into a teacher who’s been very kind to me on the way, so I chatted with her for a bit and got delayed. I didn’t mean to…”

 

“…Don’t make that face. I get it! I get it, okay—I didn’t mean to scold you!!”

 

Anyway, she let her sit down first.

 

“Fufu~”

 

Curling up the hem of her skirt, Elsa sat down next to Yvonne with a ‘victorious’ expression. Yvonne only then realized she had been tricked.

 

Really… too cunning.

 

Today’s bullying task from the villain system was ‘running errands.’

 

Just as it sounds, it required the bullied target to buy specified items for her, with requirements on the distance of the errand route, which is why she chose this secluded place.

 

“…Well, let’s eat something first.”

 

Always making her do things that pushed her limits, Yvonne felt a bit guilty.

 

“Then~ Can I feed you this?”

 

In her hand was a fried fish ball sold at the cafeteria, drizzled with an enticing brown sauce that looked delicious.

 

“Ah~♡“

 

“You really leave me no choice…”

 

As a reward for her hard work, I’ll reluctantly agree to this small request—

 

Thinking this, Yvonne’s face slightly reddened as she opened her mouth, gently biting the food Elsa offered on a wooden skewer.

 

She had underestimated the embarrassment level of this action. Just after eating one bite, her face turned bright red from excessive shyness.

 

“Is it tasty~?”

 

“…Mm.”

 

“Strange, I remember this wasn’t spicy…”

 

Seeing Yvonne’s reaction, Elsa confusedly put the remaining fish ball into her own mouth.

 

Again, an indirect…

 

Watching her naturally touch her lips to the spot Yvonne had just bitten, the sound of her heartbeat seemed to amplify.

 

…What am I thinking about?! Only teenagers would care about such trivial things!!

What on earth are they doing?

 

Hiding in the bushes, Yuna couldn’t hear the two’s conversation clearly.

 

All she could see was Ellie buying things for that fierce-eyed young lady, then respectfully feeding her.

 

Ah ah… This is bullying, right?

 

This must be bullying, right?!

 

Moreover, when she clearly saw the person bullying Elsa, she was shocked to discover it was actually that daughter of the former duke’s family!!

 

The ‘rebellion’ of the Smolet family had caused quite a stir in the royal capital at the time, and Yuna had heard about it.

 

…To think Ellie would be entangled with such a person!

 

This duke’s daughter, known as the ‘Wild Storm,’ was notorious before this. It was said she had made many enemies at her previous school, and after losing her noble title, she transferred here because she couldn’t stay there anymore.

 

But—even without her noble title, she’s still a tiger on the plains, a dragon in shallow waters!

 

How could a little girl born as a commoner possibly contend with such an evil woman?

 

Thinking of this, Yuna felt very distressed.

 

Uwah~ This is a big problem!

 

—!

 

“Who’s there?!”

 

The suddenly raised voice startled Yuna hiding in the bushes.

 

Wind mages were sensitive to the air currents around them. She had specifically chosen a place where people usually didn’t come. At this time, someone sneaking around nearby was likely up to no good.

 

Eek~~~!!

 

I’m about to be discovered!

 

Will I be killed?

 

Will I be killed by that young lady with the scary eyes??

 

I’m sorry, Ellie! Teacher will retreat for now!

 

The timing isn’t good today… Next time… Next time I’ll definitely save you!!

 

With a flash of light, she scurried away like a frightened rabbit using magic.

 

“Hmm? I think it might have been a small animal?”

 

Elsa, her mouth full of food, didn’t seem concerned. After eating her fill, she leaned on Yvonne’s shoulder.

 

“Fufu… I’m a bit sleepy~”

 

She was already tired from helping move documents in the morning. After eating, now she just wanted to sleep.

 

“Evie, let me lean on you for a while…”

 

“…Only for a little while, okay.”

 

In the shade of the tree, Elsa glanced at Yvonne, who had already spread out a picnic blanket waiting for her. The dappled shadows fell on her face and dazzling golden hair. Just looking at this scene, like a painting, made all her fatigue dissipate.

 

Then, she succumbed to the oncoming drowsiness.

 

 

 

 

When she opened her eyes again, what she saw was Yvonne’s rising and falling chest.

 

“…Finally awake?”

 

“Evie…?”

 

This angle…

 

Could it be…

 

!!

 

She realized a fact that made her heart race.

 

Right now, she was lying with her head on Yvonne’s lap.

 

Yvonne’s thighs had no excess fat, with just the right elasticity, possessing that softness unique to young girls. There was also a special fragrance, faint and sweet, utterly intoxicating.

 

“Sleeping on someone else feels pretty comfortable, huh?”

 

“Mm… very comfortable…”

 

Seeing Elsa lying on her lap with half-open eyes, completely defenseless, like a lazy cat napping after entrusting all its trust to her.

 

Evie… how long has she maintained this position?

 

Elsa started to worry about this question.

 

Maintaining this position for a long time would make one’s legs sore, right?

 

But she didn’t move at all, letting her rest until she woke up, without disturbing her…

 

She really is gentle…

 

“Hmph, the lunch break isn’t over yet anyway… If you want to sleep a bit more, you can.”

 

She was still holding the novel she hadn’t finished reading, hiding her eyes that had become evasive due to embarrassment, speaking softly.

 

“Then I’ll take you up on that offer—”

 

Just by looking up, she could see the dappled sunlight filtering through the tree leaves onto Yvonne’s fine hair.

 

Gentle light—and a gentle person.

 

Just lying like this on her made her feel at peace.

 

A breeze blew by, rustling the leaves.

 

Resting against the person you like,

 

There probably isn’t anything happier than this in the world, right?

 

Thinking this, she couldn’t help but hug her.

 

“…If you can’t sleep, then get up!”

 

“It’s not that I can’t sleep…”

 

Although still very sleepy, she felt it would be too wasteful to just fall asleep like this.

Thanks to having a good nap, she was full of energy and radiant all afternoon.

 

But for some reason, Yuna, who taught the Magic Theory course, wore a worried expression.

 

“Ellie…”

 

After class, Yuna found Elsa and placed a heavy hand on her shoulder.

 

“Teacher Yuna… What’s wrong?”

 

“Teacher will definitely find a way to save you!!”

 

“…??”

 

Although she felt the teacher seemed to have misunderstood something, Elsa didn’t know exactly what part was misunderstood, so she could only blink her eyes and tilt her head in confusion.
