Chapter 1489: What Kind Of Villain Am I?
Naturally, I had to tell my girls the plan since I wouldn’t want them having any misunderstandings either.
I was actually expecting them to advise me against it or something but...
"Wahahaha! That sounds great, Sister Aster!! Let’s do it!" Odeta laughed heartily, like I had just invited her to go and fight some monsters.
Katsuki bowed her head "I will do whatever Mistress wishes as well."
Tiara smiled at me, "I think that would be the best course of action considering the current circumstances, Big Sister."
Minnera hummed, "Hmm... I suppose this would certainly make for an interesting turn of events. I don’t see any problems with it, especially since the rumours have already reached this stage anyway."
Delmare seemed a little hesitant about it at first but she eventually nodded her head as well, "I... I will do my best too, Aster!"
Not sure what she will do her best in... Unless she also intends to be as villainous as I am? I can’t even begin to imagine Delmare being evil though so I actually kind of look forward to that. She would probably look really cute.
On the other hand...
Emilia’s eyes lit up, "Really, Boss?! I don’t need to hold myself back anymore?! Then I’m going to go all out this time!!"
Yeah... The Nekomata merchant is definitely going to start scamming people or something... I’m just going to pretend that I didn’t hear anything...
Lisa let out a rather lewd sounding squeal, "Ahhh!! That means I can finally let loose as well, right?! I don’t need to hold back anymore, right?! Ahhhh!! I wanna cuck someone so bad!!"
I almost forgot that was her kink...
Oh well... At least she would pick the ones that actually deserve it...
Ira fiddled with a strand of her hair idly, not saying anything in response to my words.
But somehow, I knew for a fact that she definitely approved of it and had some plans involving this arrangement which I was a little afraid to ask her what exactly she had planned.
Tsara clasped her hands together, "I see... This works very well... After all... there should be other Off-Worlders here as well..."
That made me panic a little but then I relaxed just as quickly when I realised there’s definitely no way Tsara would just go around killing people indiscriminately in the first place anyway.
Lilith had a rather hungry look on her face, "Mmm... Playing the villain... That certainly sounds exciting... Ehe... Ehehe~"
I almost forgot she’s actually a demon... And not just any demon but a succubus...
I didn’t accidentally set a path for the academy to be destroyed... Right?
Well... At least with this, I suppose everyone has basically accepted that we will play the role of being villains here.
And no... I’m not going to comment on the fact that there seemed to be some that looked to be overly enthusiastic about this new arrangement...
Because at this point, I think I would prefer that they were the bullies instead of the bullied.
While the girls seemed to be thinking about what they were going to do with this new arrangement, Katsuki turned to me with a slight tilt of her head.
"Mistress... I would have to ask what type of villainess do you intend to be?" She asked, her tail wagging slightly behind her.
I gave her a confused look, "Eh? What do you mean?"
Minnera turned to me, "I would like to know as well, Aster. What kind of villainess are you planning to be? I’ve seen you create so many different kinds of them in your books so you are planning to embody one of them, right?"
Oh! I actually didn’t even think about that! I was even wondering just what kind of villainous deeds I might have to do but I could just use them as reference, right?
Hmm... I have to say that some of the villainess characters I’ve created are a bit over the top... I can’t imagine myself going around and then giving the ’Gyahahaha!’ or even the ’Ohohoho!’ laugh and I’d probably just cringe myself to death if I ever did that.
Also... I’m not going to be the type that would go out of their way to bully others just because I can, though the reason for that is more because I think my time would be better spent on trying to improve my own skills than making other people’s lives miserable.
Like why should I spend my time bullying some random nobody when I could be somewhere else improving my magic?
Or heck, I could even be hanging out with my girls instead! It would be completely stupid of me to allocate time out of my day to spend it on someone else when I have my loved ones that I could spend it on!
Hmm... So what kind of persona should I play while I’m here then? I don’t really want to oversell it either... Ah!
Since I’m a noble... I might as well just act like those pompous, self-important types who look down on the commoners! That will work!
I even have the perfect skill to go with it as well so this will definitely be the perfect role for me to play!
I straightened myself and tilted my chin up so that it looked like I was looking down on the girls from my angle.
"You... Are beneath my notice, peasants."
All of them stared at me for a good long minute and I almost thought I did it so badly that they were at a loss of words until Lisa let out a really lewd moan.
"Ahhhhnnn~ Aster... I’m already holding myself back, you know? If you do this to me... I might not be able to think about anything else..."
Minnera was already furiously sketching away, clearly trying to draw my current pose and Lilith was only just a second later than her before she also started sketching in her own sketchbook as well.
Alright... I guess I’ll take that as a sign that my acting was on point and it’ll definitely work out then.
I grinned at them, "I suppose that’s what I’ll be doing then~ Ehehe~"
Katsuki bowed, "Understood, Mistress. I shall also do my best to support you."
Err... I don’t know how she intends to support me but I guess I’ll take whatever I can get, especially if it means that my girls won’t face any trouble from the other students.
Lisa giggled, "Ehehehe~ Then shall we go with a quick test? It’s time for dinner to be served in the cafeteria anyway~ This would be the perfect time to show your new self~"
You’re really enjoying this aren’t you, Lisa?
But I suppose this would also be a good time to establish this persona of mine so let’s go.
I led the way with my girls following behind me, this time letting myself sink into the persona as I walked with an air of arrogance, opting to leave using the stairs this time instead of the window.
I walked past the several students and most of them immediately stepped aside when they saw me, clearly aware of the rumours that surrounded me and already opting to stay away from me.
Although it seems like not everyone had the same thought because there was a pair of them who didn’t immediately stand aside and just continued walking in my direction while taking up the centre of the corridor.
They stopped in front of me and I looked down at them, fully committing myself to the act as I gave them the best villain glare I could while acting like they were beneath me.
They gave me a confused look like they did not understand why I was even standing there, making me believe that they probably didn’t even hear about the rumours surrounding me.
That kind of worked in my favour as I put as much sneer as I could in my voice before speaking down towards them.
"Why is there someone blocking my way?"
They blinked at me, as though they couldn’t believe that they were just told to move in such an offhanded way before Katsuki suddenly stepped forward.
I wondered what she was going to do when she simply spoke in a commanding tone that I did not expect to hear from her, "My Mistress bids you move. Move yourself or I shall move you for you."
One of them seemed to not get the clue and opened his mouth to say something, only for Katsuki to chop her hand at the back of his head, knocking him out.
Before he could even fall onto the ground, she picked him up and tossed him aside like he was just baggage, leaving his unconscious body rolling to the side of the corridor.
The unconscious form of the guy slowly dropped onto the ground before Katsuki turned her gaze towards the other guy which made him let out a loud yelp before he quickly plastered himself against the wall, clearing the path for me.
I turned up my chin at him and continued walking, finding more of the other students in the corridor pressing themselves against the wall like they were trying to melt into it after seeing the earlier display.
Welp... I guess there’s no going back now... I better commit to this!
