Villainess Is Changing Her Role To A BroCon

Chapter 41

The two of them, or maybe it’s just one of them, hear a voice that they don’t want to hear.

“I don’t like it. I don’t like the idea of “the culprit” coming to school as if nothing happened!” – (Yes Trio 1)

“Yes, Yes!” – (Yes Trio 2)

…It’s been a few days since I’ve last dealt with this stupid nonsense…

I’ve been expecting it, though.

“I think I just heard the strangest nonsense you’ve ever made.”

Ekaterina turns to the “Yes Trio” with a contemptuous smile that raises the corners of her lips in a way that suits the villainess perfectly.

“What do you mean by “the culprit”?

“Oh, um…” – (Yes Trio 3)

The “Yes Trio” seemed to have lost their nerve when Ekaterina, who usually doesn’t pay attention to everything they say, responded.

“It’s the Magic Beast from the other day. It’s strange that something like that would appear in this academy. Someone must have been up to something.”

“Yes, yes.” – (Yes Trio)

She gently grasped Flora’s hand to reassure her, and then raised her eyebrows.

“If you think something is wrong, then the Imperial Guards are doing their best to investigate. And if you are saying that you know the culprit, why haven’t you reported to the guards? If you have some kind of evidence that the guards can’t find, why don’t you submit it immediately?”

“I don’t have any proof…But people are saying it. It’s just that everyone is saying that some commoner with a different background is up to something.” – (Yes Trio)

“Yes, yes! ” – (Yes Trio)

Ekaterina suddenly put one hand over her lips. The key is to hold your pinky finger up a little.

“Oh~hohoho~”

A high-pitched laugh. I’ve always wanted to do a villainess laugh!

Then, with lightning flashing in the background, Ekaterina glared down at the “Yes Trio”.

“What do you mean, “everyone”? I’d like to know the names, please.”

“W-Well, everyone is everyone.” – (Yes Trio 3)

Yeah, all three of you. I know.

“This is nothing but malicious slanders. The Yurinova family will not tolerate this any longer.”

“I would like to take this opportunity to say something. My brother, Alexei, Duke of Yurinova, has sworn an oath. I owe my life to Lady Flora Czerny, who is the friend of all who bear the name of Yurinova, and the enemies of Flora are the enemies of Yurinova.”

At the mention of the oath, the “Yes Trio” turned pale.

“I am also pleased to inform you that I have discovered Flora-sama’s magical attributes. She possesses the rare attribute of Saint. Therefore in the Astra Empire, Flora will be recognized as the Saint and will be a revered figure.”

Ekaterina proclaimed so loudly, so that everyone in the classroom would hear her clearly.

Yes, I wanted to do this, especially so, as to shut up the “Yes Trio”.

“Adding to that, absurd remarks like “she must be plotting something” won’t be tolerated…I won’t let you off, whatever the reason may be. In the first place, do you know how an incident like that could happen, or are you saying that someone captured a Magic Beast from somewhere and brought it over undetected? Do they know about some forbidden technique that even experts of the Astra Empire never knew about, and summoned them there?”

“It’s amazing! For one to come up with that, one would either be well-educated in that field or basically just an idiot spouting nonsense!”

All of a sudden, Ekaterina’s voice boomed abruptly, then the background darkened, accompanied by lightning strikes.

“How, how can that be……?”
