The Villainess With A Heroine Harem

Chapter 183 - Boiling Pot Of Jealousy



━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Emilia could tell that Dixie's pot of jealousy was about to boil over, and feeling like it was best to send the boy away before her knight ended up murdering him on the spot, she cleared her throat. "Sorry, I don't really get it?"

The boy immediately deflated.

Step two failed… That means the route of this crimson-haired goddess was now blocked, right?

Today, Johnny had already decided that he would stop delaying it, and would just get out there and get a girlfriend, no matter what. Even if he got rejected a hundred times, he would go approach a hundred more! Someone somewhere out there had to find him attractive, right?

The place where he had seen the most abundance of beautiful girls had been this mall, and since Johnny expected he would need at least a hundred or so to succeed, this was where he came to try his luck.

But all thoughts of fearlessly approaching girls and not caring about rejection fled him when he really stood near the mall's entrance.

None of them walked around alone, and they all formed groups that seemed ready to absolutely demolish him with mockery the moment he tried to hit on them. His already wavering confidence almost teetered on the brink of collapse, and this before he had even tried.

But that is when he saw her. The moment she had walked in, Johnny's eyes had been glued to her. And he could tell he wasn't the only one.

This girl also wasn't alone, but she only had one friend with her.

For her to appear right when he had been out looking to change his life, it was like a revelation from the heavens.

But before he could approach them, the two had headed for a women's clothing store, and Johnny was too embarrassed to follow. After waiting for them to come out, however, he had already gathered enough courage to approach her.

Unfortunately, he still failed. How could he have messed it up? He should have looked for a better line!

Now, the question was… should he try on the tomboy, or just skedaddle out of here in shame?

At that moment, Emilia finally seemed to realize something. "Ah… could it be… I was supposed to say 'when where who'?"

Johnny immediately felt reinvigorated. It can't be that it would still work?! Awesome. This girl really was too different from what he expected. Not only did she not mock him, she even helped him! "Tomorrow evening, downtown theater, me and you?"

While Emilia was left scratching her head in confusion, wondering if this was a failed pick up line or a bad joke, Dixie finally blew her top. "How about I fix that! Today, the cemetery, just you alone?!"

The boy shivered in fear, almost forgetting that the way he looked now, most people would expect he could hang girls like Dixie off of his biceps with ease. "S-Sorry, I was just—"

Emilia giggled as she squeezed Dixie's arm closer to herself to calm her down. The boy wasn't too rude, after all, aside from approaching them like that. "Alright. Well, nice try. But unfortunately, my girlfriend seems to be getting very, very jealous now, so no more joking around."

The boy's face turned red as he suddenly realized something. Even if he could misunderstand the girlfriends part, the jealousy part clearly meant 'that', right? He really kicked an iron board! He should have known that a girl like this wouldn't be single. "O-Ohh, sorry."

Dixie had already stopped being furious, and even felt happy. Hey, if this boy made her princess say those words, he wasn't so annoying, after all. As long as he disappeared from their sight within the next sixty seconds, she didn't mind not breaking his bones.

Emilia chuckled. "Well… My girlfriend looks very cute when jealous, so it's all good. How about this, since you amused me so, I will let you give your pick up line another try as practice. I'll even rate it."

Although there was no longer any chance for him to get a girlfriend, Johnny was still very glad to talk to a beauty, and he was even getting free pick-up advice! "R-Really?!"

The crimson-haired girl nodded. "Yep."

"O-Okay, here I go." Johnny took a deep breath, but just as he was about to speak, one look at Dixie's dark eyes made him change his mind. "Y-You know what, I think I rather not end up at the cemetery."

But even as Johnny left, he felt like he was a changed boy. No longer was he so afraid of confessing to a girl, and even felt determined to fulfill his goal of a hundred confessions today!

After all, what's the worst that could happen? She turns out to be a lesbian? Well, he's already been through that. In fact, maybe if her lover didn't look so dangerous, he could even seek advice on pickup lines, and increase his chances of success in the next try!

Emilia tried her best to contain her laugh as she waved him away, but even after the boy rushed away, Dixie was still pouting, her eyes gloomy and dark.

The dark-haired girl stomped her feet in frustration. "He deserved to at least get punched in the face, but you didn't let me do anything at all!"

Emilia pulled Dixie closer to peck her on the cheek, not hiding her mirthful smile at all. "Don't be angry. We're on a date, and there's no need to cause a commotion like that. Didn't he go away on his own? Plus, it takes a lot of courage to confess out of the blue like that, and he didn't seem like the thug type who would harass anyone."

She bit Dixie's earlobe playfully, causing her knight to blush. "Who knows, if you traumatize him, it might stick with him for life. And what if he then becomes a stalker or something, and brings us a lot more trouble?"

Hearing her reasoning, Dixie couldn't help but pout again while rubbing her bitten earlobe shyly. "Why care so much?"

Emilia rolled her eyes with a smile. "It's not that I really care, honestly, I'm just in a good mood. Let's continue our date, okay?"

"Ahh… Okay." Dixie's red face lit up with a delighted grin. If Emilia was in a good mood after 'that'… wasn't that complimenting her? It totally was, right?!
