Clack, clack, clack! Damian turned the door handle roughly and laughed when he felt the backlash caused by magic. “You even use magic to trap me?”
It was amazing that she trapped him with such elaborate magic in such a short period of time.
He dismantled the magic formula one by one, muttering like an angry beast growling low. “She didn’t know how good the textbook she left behind.”
His own magic teacher created an absolutely amazing textbook and gave it to him. With that, he was able to easily learn not only the basics of creating magic formulas but also apply them.
Damian came out of the door after 15 minutes. Although some time had passed since Theresa left the room, he was confident that he would find her soon. That woman was too pretty.
Theresa looked so infuriatingly beautiful in the white dress he had gifted her that he couldn’t stop staring at her. Even he felt like that, so what about the others? She must be attracting all kinds of attention like a white butterfly fluttering across the mud.
And sure enough, only ten minutes after leaving the room, he spotted a woman walking on the deck wearing a white parasol. Even though she looked a little shorter than he knew, he called her.
“Wife.”
Then the woman turned around. But it wasn’t Theresa. Her clothes, parasol, and even gloves were all bought by him, but it wasn’t Theresa who was wearing them. How did this happen?
The unfamiliar woman looked at him and asked back with a shy red face. “Did you call me?”
No way.
Damian asked with a cold face. “Where did you get these clothes?”
“T-these clothes are mine.”
There were a few clues from her answer. First, there was a high possibility that the clothes the other person was originally wearing were cheap, ready-made clothes. Also, Theresa must have paid a price to exchange their clothes.
Theresa is pretty. It was to the point no matter how many times you say it, it’s not excessive at all. But a woman like that walks around alone, wearing cheap, ready-made clothes?
Damian swallowed his curse.
Money wasn’t just for honor. He was sure some guys were running around in the underworld here. Although Theresa is a wizard, magic isn’t an all-purpose power that could prevent unexpected crises.
Damian looked down at the woman with a grim look on his face. “You’d better answer straight this time.”
The woman shrank as if standing naked before a beast with its mouth open.
“The owner of these clothes, where has she gone?”
* * *
The ultra-luxury passenger ship had a variety of auxiliary facilities to match its considerable cost. Restaurants and cafes were spread out, and there were also game rooms, saunas, music rooms, and small libraries to relieve boredom.
The place I chose was the least popular library. The library, located in a remote area, was empty, with no visitors or librarians.
“Ugh, it’s cold…”
No matter how remote it is, please provide some heating.
It was a cold day, but the dress I was changing into had a mysterious color that looked like cocoa powder had been accidentally spilled on cement. It was so thin that the hem of the skirt fluttered with every step. The dress was even a little smile, so they clung to my body. It felt like I was unintentionally showing off my body, so I didn’t feel like going to crowded places.
Ding!

“It’s not that I ran away. It’s that I proudly came out on my own, right?”
Ding!

[Damian is probably looking for you with his eyes upside down, right? It’s good…]
Find? Wouldn’t he be relieved that I disappeared on my own feet?
“It’s just the first day… Sigh.”
Even now, I want to jump into the sea and swim back. However, the ferry was far enough to see only the sea around, and it was autumn, so the seawater would be very cold. Crucially, I couldn’t swim.
If I had known this would happen, I would have learned teleportation magic from Ilya. No, I guess it won’t work because I don’t have enough mana. If I fall into the middle of the sea by mistake, I will drown without even being able to do anything.
“Can’t I get a room and board if I ask them to hire me as an employee?” I’d have to find a room somehow.
Some men entered the library while I continuously rubbed my trembling body with my palm. Then they whistled when they saw me in the corner.
“Wow, it’s really great, as you said.”
I thought they came to me for some reason. As if my prediction was correct, the men approached me.
“What are you doing here? Did you come alone?” One guy grinned and took a quick look at my clothes.
“I think she’s alone. I saw that woman coming out of the regular room earlier.”
“Really? That’s good. Would you like to change rooms so you won’t be bored on our long trip?”
That’s strange. I didn’t know if the natives of the dungeon here were particularly like that, but I felt like I was often stuck with cheeky guys. This is already my second time, so isn’t it often? Anyway, it was annoying.
“Get lost when I still say nice things.”
The men laughed at my warning.
“Puhaha! So cute. What is your name?”
“I told you to get lost when I still say nice things.”
“Tsk. You have to refuse it moderately because you’re pretty. Don’t do that, just play with me. My brother has a lot of money. I’ll let you do whatever you want.”
They surrounded me, and one of them tried to hug me by the waist.
Sigh. They’re not listening.
I cracked my neck on both sides with a crackling sound. My clenched fist was wrapped with mana, giving it the effect of a firm glove. This is a newly developed magic for me, a poor person with poor strength, but I never thought I would use it like this.
“You guys, let’s get some hits.”
Those trash who dare to disturb the thoughts of a villainess who is about to die need to be beaten hard to come to their senses.
* * *
I commanded the men who lay down with their backs turned. “Repeat after me. If I say one, say ‘I won’t’. If I say two, say, ‘Do it anymore.’ One.”
“I won’t!”
“Two!”
“Do it anymore!”
“One!”
“I won’t!”
“Two!”
“Do it anymore!”
Ding!

“Tsk, isn’t this world bad? All sorts of strange things are irritating me.” I clicked my tongue and locked them in the library before moving to another location.
“Let’s see. A good place to hide… Achoo!”
I kept shivering in the cold and began to sneeze. First of all, I thought I should go to a café or something and drink some hot tea. If I walked around like this, it might be better than someone walking around the city in a bikini, but I was sure to get about the same level of shocked looks.
It was when I was looking at the sea in a stunned way.
“Did you forget your coat?”
A man with a pretty neat appearance came up to me.
“Would you like to borrow it?” He asked, pointing to his coat.
I shook my head. “It’s okay. Achoo!”
The man smiled sadly and took off his coat. “Don’t be shy, just wear it.”
I looked at the man with wary eyes. I was wondering if he was approaching me with dark intentions.
The man shrugged his shoulders. “If I was going to play a trick, wouldn’t I have told you to go to my room?”
It was too cold for my teeth to chatter to refuse the coat. In case of getting hypothermia, I thought it would be better to just borrow a coat and give him an uppercut when he started making stupid movements.
“…Then I’ll borrow it for a moment.”
When I had no choice but to take the coat, the man hurriedly put it behind me.
“As a gentleman, please let me do this. Beautiful Lady.”
It was then. Whack!
“Aargh! Who is it?”
The man who was putting on the coat fell back with his arm bent. Damian was trying to break the man’s arm.
“What are you doing now?”
He looked very angry. So I got angry too.
“What’s wrong with you? Doing something like this to someone kind.”
“Kind?” Damien scoffed. Then he snapped the man’s hand, and something fell out.
“Aaargh!”
“I guess kind men even carry syringes these days.”
I stared stiffly at the syringe that fell on the floor.
“The world would be safe when you wore nice clothes and walked around with your husband. If you walk around the corner dressed like that, you’ll just become a target for these scums.”
Damian told me about the danger of the world in a kind way and threw the man over the railing. It happened so quickly that I was shocked without even having time to scream.
Damian casually dumped the man into the sea and calmly continued his advice. “The outside world is quite a rough and scary place. And.”
Damian viciously grabbed the coat I was wearing and threw it away. “Be more careful of a man who approaches you kindly. There must be an impure purpose.”
“…I see. Thank you for the advice. I think you always give me useful information.”
In Valhalla and now.
Damian frowned. “What does that mean?”
“Nothing.”
I just turned around. Then Damian let out an annoyed sigh and blocked my path.
“Where are you going like that?”
“It’s cold, so I’m going to go somewhere.”
“Do you know what you look like now?”
I asked nervously, even though I knew how it would look. “How do I look?”
Damian lowered his gaze as if to confirm, then hurriedly turned his head and spat out a swear word. Then he said to me with a patient look on his face. “…Don’t talk nonsense and go back to your room. Please.”
I also hadn’t longer strength to stay outside, so I reluctantly returned to the room with him. There was a cold silence.
Would it be better to stay outside, shivering? I curled up on the sofa and glanced at Damian, who stood against me as he looked out the window. My eyes were dizzy as my mood continued to sink. It felt as if a surge of heat was rushing to my head.
I’m a little tired. However, feeling the need to somehow clear up the atmosphere, I called out to him with my heavy eyelids forced open. “Damian.”
There was no answer. But I said it regardless. “…Sorry. I mean it.”
I just wanted to say I’m sorry and didn’t want to hurt his feelings. But I didn’t know how things got so twisted.
“I’ve never played with you. I don’t even want to do that…”
Is it because my tension has relaxed to some extent? I felt my curling body falling beneath the sofa.
“You’re more important to me than you think.”
I’m probably talking about it well, right?
“That’s why I’m even more sorry. You don’t have to forgive me… Sorry…”
“…Madam?”
And I think I repeated the words sorry about three times. I wanted to apologize more, but every time I opened my mouth, I could feel the heat coming out of me, like boiling water.
That’s when I realized. Ah, I guess I was sick, not tired. For some reason, it was really cold.
“Madam!”
Damian’s urgent voice was muffled in my ears, and I lost consciousness.
Clack, clack, clack! Damian turned the door handle roughly and laughed when he felt the backlash caused by magic. “You even use magic to trap me?”
