"Is your brain rotten?"

Oh, I said it out loud.

It was because he said something outrageous out of nowhere. What kind of thought process did this country's prince have?

"Did I misspeak?"

Captain Marius and the others were terrified, but I continued with a smile on my face.

As an expert Villainess, I couldn't be impatient in this situation.

...I mean, I wondered if he knew what he was talking about. I would never sleep in the same room as someone who knew I ...

Should I show my true strength?

No, but I should be humble here... but was it right for a villainess to be humble? No, but it would be better if I didn't show off my magic in front of everyone.

"What are you so confused about? You said you were the strong one."

"That was the prince driving me into it... Besides, true strength is not something to be flaunted."

"That's like a quote from some hero."

"A hero? Not some villainess?"

Victor frowned. Even Grandfath...

Williams Family's Eldest Daughter, Alicia (Age: 16)

...Captain Marius, what stupid strength.

My body was pressed up against the desk, and I was stuck in a position from which I couldn't escape.

The entire atmosphere tensed under Victor's pressure as he silently poured alcohol on my head.

Oh, you have no manners for a Lady, do you? Do you really dislike the first prince that much?

The liquor trickled from my eyelashes.

"Give me your finger."...

The First Seed [Part 3]

Fukushima's POV

The seeds would fly while still being wrapped in a hard capsule, and the impact of the fall would leave a deep cavity in the ground. With the momentum of the capsule bursting open when it hit the ground, the seed would continue to tunnel through a vast area underground. So even if we dug the crash site, the seed wouldn't be there. Because it had already traveled underground to who knows where. The things we ...

[T/N: Catbus from My Neighbor Totoro.]

The family had brought the cat carriage they had once used when they moved from Palace to the Royal Capital to Imperial Japan. They had unknowingly slept like a log while being swayed inside the carriage full of fluffy cats.

The First Seed [Part 1]

Fukushima's POV

"Let's take a short rest here."

I knocked on the Stuart family's carriage and asked them to stop here for a while.

I had somehow been cajoled into leading them to the colony of Overs. Imperial Prince Tasuku would be accompanied by the Tarous and the boy who was said to be a merchant, and we parted ways on the road leading to the Imperial Residence.

I thought there might be some new style because it was a different world, but there wasn't anything particularly noteworthy.

If I had to pick one thing, it would be that the sound of the musical instruments and the dancing were a little off.

I wasn't much of an athlete in my previous life, but in my current body, I could move as freely as I wanted to.

I became a little interested in it and began dancing to the music, taking the steps as I saw fit.

I was forced to change into cosplay-style clothing, with bare shoulders, white fur around my neck, wrists, and ankles, and fur on my buttocks like a bunny tail.

I was really being treated like a pet. What kind of nightclub companion did he think I was?

We departed for the castle with Dirk and Cashmere in the Duke of Prata's carriage. My stomach was seriously aching.

Dirk must have liked my outfit because he kept me on his lap the whole time, and said something sickening with...

Bear-san, Goes To See Shia

His Majesty the King, the Queen, and Tilia did not hesitate to reach for the second candy art.

It's fine, though, since there was still some left, but too much sugar wasn’t good, so I put away the candies' heavy box.

His Majesty the King was disappointed, but he had to be careful with his sweets as an adult.

I watched Princess Flora finish her candy first, and then I took out the picture book from the bear box.

Bear-san, Goes To The Royal Capital

The next day, I used the bear gate to go to the royal capital to give Princess Flora the picture book and souvenirs from the Land of Harmony.

I came to the royal capital before I went to the Land of Harmony, so it shouldn't have been that long, but I feel nostalgic for some reason.

Still, just like I felt when I returned to Crimonia, the buildings and clothes differed in different cultures. In the Land of Harmony, it was l...

As I headed home after being holed up in the library, I recalled the events of the day.

The expression on Liz Cather's face as she fought for her love was stuck in my head. I could not get the details out of my head at all.

Her values were entirely different from mine, and I was unable to understand them. I was so angry after listening to her, but I also felt sorry for her when it came to Duke.

Maybe Liz Cather's need for approval was satisfied by having many people around h...

Bear-san, Makes Popcorn

Now then, can I do it?

I looked at the dried corn. What I have now is corn from the island of Targui. The corn was hard and dry to the touch.

Well, I'll be lucky if I can make popcorn out of these, as I pondered while making preparations.

I prepared a frying pan, started a fire, added oil, and added dried corn kernels. At first, I used only a small amount of corn kernels, as this was an experiment.

I lightly rolled the cor...

Well, I was going to give it to her anyway, even if not as a thank-you gift.

"It's beautiful. Are these all candies?" (Fina)

Fina was amazed to see the candy art in the stacked boxes.

Somehow, Liz Cather did not really understand her situation.

...How could she break the charm spell? I don't think anything other than strong belief and will could break the spell.

It would be impossible for students who truly believe in her to realize this on their own. It would be difficult for them to question the values they had come to believe in.

"How far would you go to satisfy yourself?"

Her expression changed as I said this. It was anything but calm.

I didn't reply and listened to her in silence.

"In my case, Duke helped me. I was not okay with being bullied. I suffered every day, and it was hard. But Duke and the rest of the student council reached out to me."

I felt like the story was being dramatized, but I wasn't there, so I'll keep my mouth shut.

I listened to the elder's story with a more blank expression than usual, and found that it was good that they had moved here, but there were too many rocks at the site of the ruins, making it impossible to cultivate a field. Even if they could get the rocks out of the way, the water was too far away to make life easier, so they asked me for some good advice.

Although I could recover its HP which has been dropped halfway, I probably won't be able to cure its heart.

Flowers and grass were swaying in the gentle breeze; the sounds of insects and rabbit-like monsters with horns were grazing on the grass. As I slowly made my way through the ruins, I came upon a fountain surrounded by trees.

It was a black dragon with large wings that spoke human language.

But it was different from ordinary dragons. A black dragon would have glossy black scales, but this ...

Liz Cather gets along with everyone in the school, regardless of grade level.

She was probably oblivious to the darker side of people. She always had a smile on her face, no matter how bad the attitude of the student.

I think I understand why she is so popular. I felt as if my mind was being purified when I was around her. Her magical power was comforting.
