The Villainess Who Was Dumped Got Married into My Family, a Mob Noble from the Frontier, and Turns Out, She's an Amazing Capable Wife? - Chapter 89: Stupid = Bald

Chapter 89: Stupid = Bald

I left those nobody delinquents to Edward and waited in front of the girls’ restroom for Patricia, who had run off alone.

“What are you doing in front of the girls’ restroom? Are you some kind of pervert?”

Patricia came out, wiping her hands with a handkerchief, and sneered.

How dare she.

I don’t like small, skinny types.

“I can’t have you flitting around the moment I take my eyes off you.” 

“So annoying.”

Patricia showed obvious displeasure at the word “flitting,” probably because she was insecure about her height.

With a sigh, Patricia turned to face me again.

“We’re from the same place, right? That game was only released in Japan.”

“That’s right.”

“Since when? I’ve known since I was born.”

Her casual tone was a bit disarming.

I brushed my bangs up, showing the scar on my forehead as I answered.

“When I was three, an orc split my head open. I realized it then. Though, back then, I didn’t know this world was the same as the game I played in my previous life.”

“Hmm.”

Patricia muttered while staring intently at my scar.

“A guy playing an otome game? You really are a pervert.”

Seriously?

This girl really knows how to get on my nerves.

“I won’t deny it.”

I often wondered why I played it too, but I don’t have clear memories from that time. It’s just a vague knowledge that exists.

Nothing can be done about it.

It’s a fact that I was a heavy user (avid player) who played the game and even knew what others online were saying about it.

So, I’ll accept her words like a man.

However,

“You’re no different, using your knowledge to create a reverse harem.”

Annoyed, I retorted.

“I hate you.”

“I don’t really mind you.”

I don’t dislike strong women.

Due to my relationship with Alicia, I’ll never get along with this woman, but it’s not like I hate her.

If she becomes an enemy, I’ll kill her, but that’s that and this is this.

“Gross! You’re gross and annoying!”

With that, Patricia moved three meters away from me.

“Well, I know you didn’t create a reverse harem just out of desire.”

“Oh, so not just bald huh.”

Bald didn’t mean idiot, but I decided not to say anything.

In the hallway a bit further away, I could hear Edward elegantly intimidating the delinquents. It wasn’t surprising that bald and fool got mixed up in such a situation.

“This is the kingdom’s way of hospitality. Some families take small amounts of poison regularly to build resistance. Naturally, I do it too. If you’re a student from a duchy where skill is everything, this poison should be no problem for you, right?”

“W-What’s with those cookies?”

“Specially formulated poison cookies, or ‘pookies’ for short.”

“Who comes up with such a stupid name—ah, no, don’t make me eat it! Stop! Stop!”

“Ugh, my stomach… What did you…?”

“What you ate was a cookie developed for training against being poisoned by enemies. If you dirty the academy, you’ll have no life left.”

“H-Hi, hiiii!”

Patricia and I watched this scene with dismayed expressions.

“…”

“…”

“What are you going to do? This is your fault…”

“I don’t know! How could a simple rejection turn into this?”

That’s true.

Where did things go wrong, Edward?

But the root cause is Patricia.

It’s all because of this short girl next to me.

She’s a bad woman who seduced Edward and then dumped him.

It’s not my fault, definitely not.

“Let’s get back to the point. What are you aiming for?”

Ignoring Edward’s chaos with the delinquents, I asked.

“You used magic to take Mariana’s position. If a reverse harem isn’t your goal, then what’s your purpose?”

“I’m not aiming for anything. I never said I was.”

She said this while gazing out the window.

“Hey, what do you think of this world?”
