Chapter 4

Though it was still morning, the town center was bustling with people. The weather was very good today, so the number of people out and the level of noise were both double the usual amount. The pleasant breeze swished through the boughs of the trees lining the road. Mary’s silver-thread hair and the scarf around her neck also fluttered in the wind.

But she paid this no heed, walking through the crowded street with a daring smile. Sensing that she was getting ready for a counterattack, Adi looked exasperated as he walked alongside her.

“What are you plotting, Your Ladyship?” he asked with a yawn.

“Don’t say such scandalous things. I’m not plotting anything—I’m simply doing some shopping.”

“Shopping, huh? Are you planning on having Lady Veltina hinder you somehow?”

“You’ve gotten good at this. Yes, that’s correct,” Mary replied, her smile growing wider. Adi only sighed again in response.

Just as he’d guessed, Mary was here to have Veltina hinder her. If the girl was purposely imitating Heart High’s methods of harassment, then there was no way she’d miss out on an opportunity to interrupt Mary’s “date in the town center.” Veltina was sure to appear from somewhere, and ostentatiously invite Adi to go with her.

I’ll catch her during that and have a proper talk with her, Mary thought. She’d tell Veltina that she didn’t mind if the girl wanted to charge at her during school, but it was best to refrain from such behavior during actual high society events. Even villainesses needed to have some manners.

“It’s important to note that she has a fiancé, so if there are any problems, she won’t be the only one suffering the consequences. I have to properly explain that to her. It’s my duty as the original villainess,” Mary asserted.

“This is exactly why you’re called the Talented Dog Trainer, my lady.”

“Then perhaps I should focus on disciplining the dog with a biting problem next,” she murmured, touching her scarf.

Adi instantly turned red and cleared his throat to evade this topic. “By the way...” he said, meaningfully casting his eyes sideways.

Mary followed his gaze. Before her was the lively scene of the town center. Some of the townsfolk rushed about in a hurry, while others wandered at their leisure, window shopping. Every person walked at an individual pace, crossing paths with each other while the shopkeepers called out to them. The street was bustling, indeed.

And also...

“Parfette! There’s a lovely cake shop over here! And this shop’s cookies are simply exquisite!”

“Waaah! This is so lively and fun, I can’t stop my tears...!”

On one side, a girl raised her voice cheerfully, and on the other, a girl quivered with joy. These two were also playing their part in heightening the town’s vibrance. Needless to say, they were Alicia and Parfette.

Mary wondered how on earth the information had leaked. When she and Adi had first gotten into their horse-drawn carriage, the two girls had already been seated inside of it. They’d been acting as if it were all par for the
