The Villainess With A Heroine Harem

Chapter 334 Am I Blind?



Chapter 334 Am I Blind?

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 

Immortality… a supernatural ability… a gorgeous and considerate lover… any one of these prospects had an irresistible allure for most people.

The problem wasn’t that there would be more people she would need to share Emilia with, but who these people would be.

Maybe Dixie had been a bad influence on her, or maybe it was because she felt like she had almost lost the chance of being together with Emilia, but Crystal didn’t really mind Emilia taking the girls she liked for herself.

However, that was based on the premise that these girls weren’t just taking advantage of her. If someone was able to sleep with her lover just for the benefits it would bring… the mere thought made her infuriated.

It was like someone trampling on the most precious flower that she had carefully raised and cherished with all her heart. Even if Crystal had been as tolerant and kind as Emilia believed, she still wouldn’t be able to forgive such a thing.

So these ‘unqualified’ people definitely couldn’t be allowed close to Emilia, no matter what. 

Taking advantage of her darling was already a sin worthy of eternal suffering, but what if they hurt her? No amount of repentance could undo the damage from their misdeeds!

But controlling Emilia was also impossible. 

Crystal didn’t know Emilia’s past too clearly, and she didn’t want to dig into her old wounds too deep, so she hadn’t dared to ask either.

Even without her ability, Crystal had long since been able to tell that Emilia’s need for ‘love’ was a little abnormal, and it didn’t take a genius to see that she was somewhat desperate in her heart.

She may never have voiced it, but the crimson-haired beauty had never hidden her heart from them, and anyone who was willing to take a look could see this for themselves.

This desperation had already been soothed through their efforts now, but Crystal knew that the wound that it stemmed from still remained in Emilia’s heart.

Maybe they could mend this wound over time, or maybe they would be able to discover its source and take care of it all at once. But either way, Crystal believed that until this was taken care of, there remained a possibility of someone taking advantage of her darling, and making her injury worse wasn’t a risk they could afford to take.

In the end, Crystal could only sigh in defeat. ‘It seems like there is no other choice… I’ll have to talk to Dixie and figure it out, after all.’

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 

When Emilia woke up, she was only slightly surprised to find Crystal staring at herself unblinkingly, her eyes hazy, presumably from sleepiness.

There were still a few marks left on her chest and neck from their night of passion, and combined with the look in her eyes, Emilia almost made up her mind to go another round before breakfast.

But thinking about how she had been delaying her ‘talk’ with Cynthia, and there were still too many things to do, in the end Emilia decided to put it off for later.

Tucking one of the blonde girl’s shoulder-length golden strands behind her ear, Emilia couldn’t help but smile. “You’re up early, huh… Any special requests for breakfast?”

Crystal gulped, but decided not to mention that she hadn’t slept throughout the night. “N-No, but there’s something I wish to tell you.”

Thankfully, Emilia’s ‘fountain of youth’ made it impossible for her to have dark circles or fatigue despite the insomnia, or she would have long since been discovered.

The crimson-haired goddess blinked at her curiously, and Crystal ignored the throbbing at her core as she steeled her expression. “I-I discovered something change within myself after our first time together. Emilia… do you know anything about it?”

Emilia didn’t seem to be too surprised as she leaned forward to press her soft lips and against the blonde girl’s while circling her waist affectionately. “Didn’t I already tell you? Every time you consume my blood, saliva, or sexual fluids, you’ll be able to gain some of my energy. It will boost your lifespan, so it’s natural to feel a little different.”

Crystal sighed. “That’s not it.”

The crimson-haired girl tilted her head in confusion. “Then? I-Is there something wrong?”

The heroine didn’t want Emilia to start feeling guilty or be distressed for her for no reason, she quickly waved her hands in denial. “Nothing bad, but… I’m sure it will sound like nonsense, but you have to believe me, I… might have awakened an ability.”

Emilia blinked at her in surprise. “An ability?”

Crystal nodded. “Actually, at some level, I’ve always been able to ‘feel’ a few things about people, and I always knew I was a little different from others.”

The blonde girl rubbed her nose in embarrassment. ‘T-That sounds so delusional! W-Why did I have to say that?!’

But looking at the crimson-haired beauty’s gentle eyes, Crystal was quickly able to suppress her embarrassment as she coughed. “A-Anyway, a-after we had sex, this ability isn’t so vague and random anymore, and I can now use it very consistently. Of course, the results aren’t very reliable, so…”

Crystal went on to describe all the little details she had discovered about her ability so far, and Emilia continued to listen attentively, her eyes twinkling with both curiosity and delight.

After she was done, the blonde girl couldn’t help but purse her lips in thought. “You don’t seem surprised?”

Emilia grinned. “I’ve always believed you were special, Crystal. After all, you’re the heroine of justice in my heart, and also the heroine of this world.”

Crystal couldn’t help but swat the crimson-haired beauty’s shoulder in embarrassment. “D-Don’t boast so much! My head will get big! If someone else heard this, they’ll think I’m a weirdo.”

Emilia giggled. “No, really, it’s not that strange to have an ability of your own. Even if you don’t believe that you’re the heroine of this world, aren’t there plenty of other people with special abilities as well? What’s so strange about you having one?”

She tapped the dumbfounded blonde girl’s soft lips playfully. “This is your own ability, so be proud. My blood may just have made it a little stronger than before, or awakened it fully a little earlier, but that’s all.”

Crystal could only roll her eyes in exasperation. “People in this world are quite normal, you know. Only you are special. I’m happy to have a special ability of my own, but you don’t have to downplay your part to make me happy.”

Pursing her lips in thought, she nodded to herself before Emilia could interrupt her. “Without you, it should have remained at the level of ‘sharp intuition’. A good thing to have, but nothing that special.”

Emilia could only blink at her innocently. “For someone who has this kind of ability… Crystal is surprisingly oblivious.”

The blonde girl couldn’t help but furrow her brows in displeasure. “What do you mean? I feel like I’m being made fun of?”

Emilia giggled. “No, I just think it’s adorable. Haven’t you discovered… No, let me just give you an example. Isn’t Dixie strange?”

She had already guessed that this world had some physique variations, such as Dixie. 

Compared to a normal person in this world, the girl’s strength already exceeded what a dozen people could have combined.

There was no way there could be such great variation without any special attributes, especially in a girl who hadn’t trained that much until her late teens.

Even if the Brown family could be ignored as an exception, wasn’t there still the existence of the Nightingale clan? 

And Emilia didn’t believe that these were the only ‘special’ things in this world at all. Of course, most of these ‘enhancements’ were quite mundane. There was no such thing as people being able to bend the elements to their will, or fly in the sky. At least, not yet.

This world seemed to be right on the verge of breaking out of the mold of a basic world with only regular humans to a semi-advanced world with enhanced humans. After that, it could have had the chance to slowly develop further.

Although the world will’s growth could have facilitated this change, it would also have thrown a lot of lives into disarray and turmoil. But of course, now that Emilia was here, their lives were bound to be thrown into disarray for entirely different reasons.

Emilia believed that with Crystal’s ability, the only way she couldn’t notice such a thing was because she refused to believe it herself, and was bound by ‘common sense’.

The crimson-haired girl couldn’t help but squeeze the blonde girl’s cheek in amusement. Considering that she had accepted her as an ‘alien’, and had no issue accepting any of her strange abilities, how could this girl be so adorably airheaded? And her special ability even made her inclined to be a ‘detective’!

Emilia had often heard that love made people blind, but she felt like she would need to use it to pry this oblivious heroine’s eyes open by force. 

Emilia smiled. “You know, if Dixie wanted to, she could start punching the pillars in my mansion and make it collapse on itself. Do you really think that’s normal?”

The blonde girl seemed dumbfounded at first, but the more she thought about it, the more she realized it was actually possible.

Dixie… really didn’t seem to be a normal person?! How could she be so ridiculously strong? No, even those athletes that sat at the top of the world rankings couldn’t compare, right?

How come she never noticed before?!

Crystal couldn’t help but gape at her in disbelief. “W-Why is this the first time I’m hearing about this?!”
