Taming The Villainesses

(EP-59.2) Theo #8

059 – Silver Rookie Theo #8

Marmar and I headed to the ‘marketplace’ in the corner of the auditorium.

All sorts of items were laid out on the mat floor, like a child’s playhouse…

There were a lot of things that had price tags on them like conch shells and even some kind of broken glass, but they didn’t catch my interest.

“Is this really the right place?”

“Yes… ! Look, that honey-haired Nymph is selling Angmar’s treasure…!”

Marmar’s finger was pointing to a sitting Nymph with short golden hair, resembling honey.

As I walked there, the first thing I noticed was the rubbish lying on the floor. Could this be porcelain?

Below was a description.

「Nymph’s Jar: It depicts two Nymphs competing in the ancient martial art ‘Melon’. It is also called Korean Melon for Non-Fairies.」

“Hmm.”

Not very impressive though.

I said to the honey-haired Nymph.

“I heard that you sell the treasures of the Demon King Angmar here.”

Seuk-.

The honey-haired Nymph’s forehead wrinkled. Only then did I remember that I had made an error in my speech.

“I heard that there are treasures of the Demon King Angmar here…!”

Fwop.

Only then did the Nymph’s crinkly forehead loosen.

‘Oh my God.’

I badly wanted to quickly get out of this place. How long would I have to use this ridiculous tone?

Then said the honey, golden-haired Nymph.

“I am Goldnoi, the Nymph of Luxury and Treasure! If you want to see the treasures of the Demon King, you have to give 50,000 coins as a gift!”

What was even ‘the Nymph of Luxury and Treasure’?

Just as I was curious, the blonde Nymph, who identified herself as a Goldnoi, explained.

“A Treasure Nymph’s keen sense is able to recognize the real and the fake…! All the things that I, Goldnoi, deal with are genuine masterpieces…! It’s different from the fakes all around you…!”

Sch.

At that moment, Marmar took out her wallet and held out 50,000 coins to Goldnoi.

“Show us the treasure…!”

With a cheeky smile, Goldnoi rummaged through her arms and pulled out a small object. It was a small wooden box.

“The whole floor of Ark was shoveled just to dig this out…! It is a great treasure…!”

… Were there really any treasures of Demon King Angmar inside a box about the size of a pencil case? I had such doubts, but the moment the box opened, I couldn’t help but be surprised.

There were images and letters.

Images of four bowling pins standing on a plate with letters wrapping around its circumference like pizza crust.

‘PAIMON.’

The moment I saw this word…

Shingggg-.

It began to emit light and a lot of information entered my eyes.

「Paimon: A high-level physical destruction spell. The higher the caster’s rank, the stronger the power and mana consumption.」

The explanation was simple to understand.

A high-level physical destruction spell.

Wasn’t this an active spell that could be used to attack directly?

It was one of the things I wanted to have as it could increase my fighting power.

I badly wanted to try it out right away to see what effect it would have.

“Ding! That’s 10 seconds. Your 50,000 coins of viewing is up! If you want to see more, you pay or buy it!”

But at this time, the Treasure Nymph Goldnoi closed the wooden box.

“That Marmar…. I no longer have money…. The salary of Teaching Assistants is too small….”

Marmar said regrettably, but it didn’t matter since I had already gotten all the information I needed.

“Can I see something like this again?”

“You can look forward to next week’s Fairy Night…! The treasure nymph Goldnoi always does her business here…!”

‘I see.’

I guessed it was a good thing that I participated in this event.

I should come next week too.

「You are now a full-fledged Half-Fairy!

Job: Half-Fairy +1 Level!

Lv. 5 → Lv. 6

Fairy Instinct is twitching!」

Seuk.

At that moment, I felt a strange chill in my body.

I could instinctively sense that it was an increase in what I would call my magic.

Numerically, should I say that it was like my Mana Pool went from 100 to 120?

Who would’ve thought that the increase of the Half-Fairy’s level also increased my mana… After reaching level 6, something had definitely started to change!

So there were some good points about being a Half-Fairy too.

I thought there were only downsides…

There was even some kind of synergy between the job Half-Fairy, which increased mana, and the bizarre spells that I could use.

After all, these spells would consume a lot of mana.

Anyway.

I decided to go outside the venue with Marmar, wanting to try the destruction spell as soon as possible.

We were walking towards the faculty-only quarters.

“I will have to starve for a few days from tomorrow….”

Under the glowstone street lamp, Marmar wept as she looked at her empty wallet. Then I remembered that she had indeed spent quite a bit of money this time.

This trip had cost her a total of 150,000 coins. As far as I knew, the average daily wage of a faculty member was 50,000 coins. She basically used up 3 days worth of finances.

“That’s why you should have saved some money. By the way, why did you even spend so much?”

“But I want to help comrade…!”

“Pardon?”

“If it means that Comrade Theo could sound the alarm in this discriminatory world, then I, Marmar Marnoi, can endure several days of starvation and the tyranny of an old v¡rgin Professor…!”

“Marmar….”

I felt something hot rushing through my chest.

Although there was something sloppy, I finally realized that Marmar was really a passionate colleague of Theo.

It was then.

“Ah-!”

Marmar’s body floated into the air.

“Is Marmar finally able to fly like a Great Demon…?”

“No, this is….”

The reason Marmar ‘floated’ into the air was because her long, slender Imp tail had been caught and lifted by someone.

“Noisy Imp…!”

It was a huge man.

One look and I had to wonder if this guy was over 2 meters tall. Regardless, he was big enough that I had to look up. Meanwhile, Marmar had no choice but to struggle like a rat with its tail caught.

“You put Marmar down…! You’re pulling my tail…!”

But the man did not stop the abuse. In fact, he even started shouting at me.

“So you’re here, Theo Gospel! How dare you not attend the SILVERS opening meeting! Did you skip it to flirt with this weird Imp!?”
