The Villainess Princess Will Dive into the Labyrinth Again Today – Chapter 35
Chapter 35: The villainess princess plays
Next, Miliaria and her entourage made their way to the artisan’s workshop.
The artisan, who specialized in decorations, raised an eyebrow as he looked at the iron ball placed in front of him.
“Excuse me, Ojo-sama. What is this iron ball?”
“I want you to decorate it beautifully. Polish it until it’s smooth and don’t plug any holes. Oh, and I want you to use gems.”
Miliaria said with a cheerful smile on her face.
She treasured this iron ball even though it was ineffective to some monster.
She intended to keep it forever.
Despite her enthusiastic request, the artisan had a look of confusion on his face.
“Hm.”
“…Mary. Bring that out.”
“Yes, Ojo-sama.”
As instructed by Miliaria, Mary took out several rings from a bag she retrieved.
The bag was filled with large, first-class gems that Miliaria had acquired.
“Please use these. I would appreciate if you could work quickly.”
Miliaria grinned mischievously and applied pressure.
Everyone appeared to be looking at Miliaria with suspicion, but she disregarded their gazes and continued with her plan.
“…Are you serious?”
“Of course I am!”
Miliaria could feel Mary’s skeptical gaze, but she chose to ignore it.
This was a fascinating experiment.
Would adding gems to the iron balls, which floated with levitation, enhance their abilities as equipment support?
Miliaria was eager to find out.
The artisan appeared to understand Miliaria’s intentions and respectfully agreed to undertake the task.
“…Understood. I’ll take care of it. I promise to do a perfect job.”
“I love to hear that. Please decorate an additional 10 iron balls of the same size in the same way. I can’t wait to see the results!”
“Understood. I’ll accept that as well.”
The artisan was quick to respond and seemed genuinely sincere. Excellent.
After completing the task, Miliaria and her group headed to a fashionable café.
She ordered tea with apple pie, but it seems the pudding she wanted to try didn’t exist.
“Hey Mary, why isn’t there any pudding? Is it because there’s a monster pudding, so they don’t name sweets as pudding?”
“I’m not sure, but I’ve never wanted to try monster pudding.”
“Oh…”
The age-old question of which came first, the egg or the chicken.
Even if Miliaria could create pudding, she wouldn’t want to try it if it would be considered creepy and unsatisfactory like monster pudding.
“Anyway, sweets are the taste of happiness.”
“Sigh…”
“What’s wrong, Mary? A sigh means happiness is slipping away.”
“No, I just spent the whole day with you, Your Highness, and I have no idea what we did.”
Mary looked troubled, but Miliaria didn’t recall explaining anything to her.
Even if she did explain, it was doubtful Mary would understand.
“Is that so? We were doing something enjoyable. It’s almost complete, right?”
“Complete? What’s completing? May I ask?”
“It’s the perfect Miliaria-chan, of course!”
“…”
Mary was at a loss for words after Miliaria’s immediate response.
Her expression was indescribable and showed complete confusion.
Miliaria, not liking the silence, puffed out her cheeks and took a bite of her apple pie.
“Well, it’s okay… I can only see a vague outline beyond the dense fog. It might be hard to understand. To put it simply, it’s about training in martial arts and spiritual arts and equipping myself with top-notch equipment.”
Although the explanation was rough, the plan was no more or less than that.
But the explanation seemed to be easy to understand, and Mary nodded her head and looked at Miliaria.
“Do, do you want to become that strong?”
“Yes, that’s right. Don’t you have any aspirations? I’m proud of my recent progress.”
“Y-Yes, there’s no doubt. In fact, Ojo-sama has grown so much lately… Although her eccentricities are a bit obvious at times.”
“Don’t call it eccentricity. It hurts a princess’s reputation. Haven’t you become a bit more outspoken lately? I’ll put a stop to that.”
“Please stop. You used to be… Before, it was intense, but it was easy to understand.”
“…What was it like? Summarize it in 15 characters or less.”
“…Selfishness turned into weirdo.”
“Yes, it was. Miliaria (referring to herself) was hurt.”
“I’m sorry.”
Miliaria offered Mary the newly ordered apple pie and tea, as Mary hung her head.
“Well, you should eat too. It’s delicious.”
“Uh, that’s not what I meant…”
“Oh? Don’t you want to eat what I ordered? Mary, I’ll have to throw it away if you don’t eat it.”
“…I’ll eat it.”
“Good for you.”
Miliaria smiled and nodded as Mary took a bite reluctantly.
“Well, from now on, I’ll need your help more often, so I’ll rely on you even more, Mary.”
“…You’re saying that now?”
“Yes. Miliaria (referring to herself) is like that, even if she tries to change a bit.”
But now is the time to solidify her strength.
She has been regarded as seriously bizarre lately due to the recent monster hunting, and it’s better to have her surroundings recognize her as a presence with actual abilities, rather than sneaking around, so that there will be fewer problems in the end.
For instance, if she shows that she can hunt monsters competently, she will have more opportunities to hunt with ease.
The only thing Miliaria should keep secret is the main hunting ground.
“I have been secretive until now, but from now on, I’ll be more open about it. Let me show you the part that can’t be contained by just being an excellent and beautiful princess.”
“And, what do you mean by that?”
“I’ll show my actual abilities in a full-fledged manner. I think I’m ready now.”
“…It’s kind of scary, but please do your best.”
Mary chewed on the apple pie as she spoke.
Miliaria, having said enough to satisfy her, drank her tea and stood up.
“Apple pie is delicious, but to be honest, I have a preference for pudding now. Shall we make it when we return to the castle?”
“Uh… I don’t think that’s a good idea… it wouldn’t be appropriate, would it?”
Despite Mary’s reservations, Miliaria is as confident as ever.
Although Mary made a face of distaste, Miliaria herself doesn’t hesitate to eat what she desires.
Incidentally, the pudding that was served later was well-received in terms of flavor, regardless of its appearance.
