Chapter 139 - Decidedly (Un)Pleasant
Chapter 139 - Decidedly (Un)Pleasant
???????????????
While the heroine and Dixie were enjoying Emilia's cooking, elsewhere in the city several people were having a very bad time dealing with the 'supernatural'.
The number of students who had been indirectly involved with harassing and bullying Michelle was far too large for Emilia to bother with on such short notice, and for them, she had simply told Noelle to arrange a few incidents here and there.
However, there were a few students who were decidedly more 'involved' and had made significant efforts to ensure that the girl's life became truly hell. Whether it was out of sadistic tendencies or because of some actually justifiable reason, Emilia didn't really care.
It was for these 'special' cases other than George that Emilia had instructed Justine to gear up with her three new recruits and drive fear of Michelle's ghost into their hearts.
At first, the ex-policewoman didn't believe that it would have much of an effect. After all, these were all educated students, and they shouldn't believe in ghosts, right? Justine believed that they would likely discover the truth soon enough, that someone had donned masks and played a 'prank' on them.
Of course, her instructions went a bit too far for a 'prank', and had she not been briefed about what they had done, Justine might even feel a little uncomfortable doing it.
After all, a prankster wouldn't actually beat the shit out of you, nor would they dare to actually push someone down the stairs, put actual worms in their food, and even 'supply' them with body parts they had obtained from an affiliated medical college… and these were some of the more 'mundane' ones.
If Emilia had really come up with all of these… Justine shivered a little in fear as she thought about what kind of things ran through the girl's mind. 'To think that this innocent little princess is actually so twisted on the inside… No, someone else must have come up with this! Un, she definitely didn't even look at what was inside the file. Definitely.'

While Dixie had still been a little in disbelief, Emilia mistook it as her being 'too sleepy' and 'in a daze', and decided to just carry her princess style to the dinner table, dumbfounding both the heroine and the knight.
"P-Princess—?!"
"Y-You're unexpectedly strong?!"
Emilia rolled her eyes at Crystal as she gently set the blushing Dixie down on the chair. "First, she's actually quite light. Second, how come you think I'm weak?! Come here, I'll show you!"
And before the heroine could respond, Emilia had already lifted her up by the waist and spun her around, though her face turned a little red as she did so. "W-Whoa, you are—"
The heroine's blush was many times worse than Emilia's, and she sputtered in shame as she punched the girl on the shoulder. "I-I'm w-what?"
Emilia had been about to say 'unexpectedly heavy', but cleared her throat. "Very soft in certain places. Um, it suits you, very cute."
Crystal first breathed a sigh of relief, since she had also thought that Emilia would think she was heavy. After all, Crystal had never been 'light' in any of the physical examinations when compared to her peers, though she didn't seem to have any excess fat on her at all.
There had been many days when she had been teased by girls of her age when they looked at her results, calling her a fatty.
Well, she had been a little chubby when she was younger, Crystal won't deny that.
But as she had entered her teenage years, Crystal didn't think she had been far from what she would consider the ideal weight for her. At least, she didn't think she was unhealthy, though she wasn't perfectly thin like Emilia.
If someone were to call her a fatty now, Crystal didn't think anyone would laugh.
Of course, she had never cared much about it before, and she didn't think anyone else should, either. So what if her bone density was better? Wasn't that a good thing? But when she thought about Emilia thinking that she wasn't as womanly as expected, Crystal couldn't help but be worried.
But moments later, she realized another thing. Emilia had only picked her up from the waist, so the only place she could find soft was—!
Giving the grinning girl a glare, the heroine huffed as she took her seat while Emilia just chuckled and squeezed her cheek.
"Cute."
Meanwhile, Dixie was busy taking in the scent of the dish her princess had personally cooked, and if not for Emilia stopping her in time, she would have ended up burning her tongue already.
Of course, this was also great fortune for the knight, because Emilia thought that she must still be half-asleep, and decided to feed her just to be safe.
Crystal couldn't help but sigh as she watched Emilia blow on the fork before carefully feeding it to the obviously gleeful Dixie. 'They sure are close, like actual sisters… How can Dixie not be mad at that bastard when she's even closer to Emilia? Am I the only weird one? I can't bear it at all.'
Even if they had been together day and night, and Emilia had taken care of her so much, Crystal had never been able to put this thing out of her mind. After all, the reason Emilia was staying over was because she wanted to avoid sleeping in the same room with Randy, right?
As Crystal finished up her pasta, a sense of determination filled her. 'No, I can't continue like this. I can't keep thinking Dixie will do it, or Penny will, I have to take care of that Randy guy myself. That bastard better be ready!'

In another part of the city, Randy sneezed, wondering why his electronic blanket wasn't working as well as advertised. 'Fucking scammers! I shouldn't have bought it online…'
