T/N: Hello, hello~ Sorry for the impromptu break! I ended up getting a job, so as I was adjusting to my new schedule, I was a bit too tired to feel like translating -_- But I’m back! I can’t promise that releases will be as quick, but I will do my best!!
Also, before I get to the chapter, I’d like to thank Joaquina, Mabel, and Karima for the cookies!! There’s nothing like coming home from work and relaxing with sweets ❤ Thank you!!
Ugh, it hurts…..
I wonder if I caught some sort of bug from Gilles.
My throat is on fire, my stomach feels nauseous, and I’m sweating non-stop. I’m definitely sick.
But could I seriously have been infected with something after such a short amount of time?
No, wait, maybe I could…. My immune system probably isn’t used to the viruses and bacteria in that village, so I guess it could make sense.
“Alicia, everyone’s come to visit~” I hear Alan-Oniisama call from the other side of my bedroom door.
I wonder if I’m hallucinating now, or if he’s actually there.
“Alicia?”
I try to answer, but my voice won’t come out. My throat hurts too much.
Am I…. Am I going to die like this….?
“Alicia, are you there?”
I hear the subtle scrape of the door opening. At the sound, I dimly look in Alan-Oniisama’s direction, feeling faint.
“Alicia!! Are you okay!?”
No. Certainly not. And please don’t yell. My head is already killing me.
I groan and look imploringly at Alan-Oniisama for help.
“Somebody!!” Alan-Oniisama cries, sending another painful stab through my head.
Please stop. That hurts!
The vibration of footsteps shakes my bed ever so slightly as a number of people come running into the room. It might not be strong, but just this much movement makes me feel even more sick, you know…?
“What’s wrong?” I hear Albert-Oniisama ask.
Ugh, I can’t keep my eyes open anymore. They fall shut as I crumple back onto the bed, completely exhausted.
“Alicia’s got a super bad fever.”
“Ali-chan does? Even with that gorilla-like vitality of hers!?”
Congratulations, Curtis-Sama. You’ve provoked a villainess… and it was very effective.
“Let’s take her temperature for now,” Albert-Oniisama calmly recommends, placing a hand on my forehead.
“102.2 degrees…..”
Huh? How did he measure my temperature? With magic?
Wait, now that I think about it, I feel like there was a spell for that.
When I first read about it, I wondered what it could be used for, but I guess this is one such time when it comes in handy.
“That’s quite a high fever,” I hear Duke-Sama remark.
“If I recall, didn’t we have some Josiah in the storeroom?” Albert-Oniisama wonders aloud, and I almost don’t want to believe my ears.
Seriously….? We already had Josiah in the house? Then what was the point in me going all the way to the town for it!?
…..As my stress rises, it becomes difficult to breathe. Each new breath I take sends lancing pain surging throughout my body.
“Ali, are you okay?”
“Alan, go get some Josiah from the storeroom.”
“For now, I think we should all leave the room.”
“True. Though it’s not like we’d get sick from being in here anyway.”
Ahh, I can’t tell who’s talking anymore.
But I would certainly appreciate it if they would all just leave. I had no idea that just someone having a conversation near me could be this painful.
Speaking of, didn’t one of them say something odd?
Something like they wouldn’t get sick from being in here? But why? Why am I the only one suffering from this bug?
….It’s no use. I can’t even think straight.
It’s appalling for a villainess to show others her moments of weakness, but I think in this sort of situation, it really can’t be helped!
I feel bad enough to die!
I’ve never felt this run-down ever since I was born.
The aftermath of Albert-Oniisama’s Spartan sword practices can’t even compare to how tired I feel right now.
As I’m thinking this, without even noticing, I fall asleep.
I wake up with a start to the door banging open.
My headache feels a thousand times worse now. It feels like someone is bashing it in with a hammer… Like they are trying to smash it to pieces.
I… Am I really going to die like this…..?
I wasn’t able to live for a long time during my previous life either, and now this time I’m going to die at only 10 years old? This is just cruel.
No. Stop! Don’t give up!!
You’re going to become the best villainess that this world has ever seen! A villainess that goes down in history!
And you haven’t even met the heroine yet!
….But even with all that self-encouragement, the pain is still there. How am I supposed to get through this?
But wasn’t that the door just now? I wonder who came in.
I very barely manage to peak one eye open.
……Duke-Sama?
Although faint, I feel like I can just barely make out the blue of his hair.
