A Sweet Girl Won't Be Fooled By The Villainess - [Vol. 5] Chapter 3

[Vol. 5] Chapter 3: Integration of East and West

Amelia looked at the silver cross that was forcefully placed in her hand.

Illuminated by the kerosene lamp on the low table in the carriage, the smooth cross shone brightly…

It could be seen that Ifia had indeed put effort into it.

Although the makeshift cross was a bit rough, the polishing was very meticulous.

At this moment, faced with the “artifact” that was said to make vampires and demons retreat, Amelia couldn’t help but feel a bit amused and helpless. A hint of resignation appeared in her purple eyes.

Only Ifia, this little fool, would believe in such things.

It was just a simple ornament after all.

Did she really think it could stop demons?

“Amelia, you must keep it safe. Then the demons won’t dare to attack you.”

Unlike Amelia’s helplessness, Ifia cherished it very much. She carefully tucked the cross into the inner pocket of her dress and then raised her hand satisfiedly.

It was just that time was too tight. Otherwise, Ifia would have made some wooden swords, talismans, and so on for Amelia…

If one thing didn’t work, then add another.

Quantity over quality!

In fact, Ifia even wanted to make a clay figurine of a deity herself and then drag Amelia to worship it.

The emphasis was on integrating Eastern and Western elements.

“Well, let’s hurry down. They must be getting impatient.”

Amelia didn’t say much, she followed Ifia’s lead and tucked away the cross, then quickly got off the carriage, fearing that Ifia might pull out some strange things again. She wasn’t afraid of any creatures, only afraid of Ifia’s cunning.

By the time Amelia and Ifia got off the carriage, the church officials and nobles had already gathered, and it was almost ten o’clock as agreed, making them anxious and uneasy waiting.

“Why hasn’t Amelia Barlen arrived yet?”

“The Barlen family is truly arrogant. This concerns the safety of Darwa City, yet they’re late. They really don’t care about the safety of the people in the city.”

“You’re not right in saying that. Why is Darwa City in danger in the first place? It’s all because of summoning demons, isn’t it? Although I’m also worried about whether we can dispel the demons, we can’t blame the Barlen family with a clear conscience.”

“How is it unrelated to the Barlen family? Amelia Barlen held a magical plant auction in Camus. If it weren’t for this auction, how could I have summoned the demons!”

Because it was dark, even if torches were lit, they couldn’t see clearly around them. This led to the nobles grumbling, but they failed to notice that the person they were talking about had already appeared.

Facing the accusations of the crowd, Amelia remained calm as usual, her expression unchanged. She completely disregarded these lowly humans, treating them as nothing more than a bunch of pests.

As long as the initial plan proceeds smoothly, none of these people will escape death in the end.

However, compared to Amelia’s disdain, Ifia was on the verge of exploding with anger.

These bastards!!!

Instead of doing their job properly, they’re quick to shift blame!

The auction held in Camus wasn’t like they were held at knifepoint to force or entice them. They’re adults, don’t they have any autonomy?

And those who are busy blaming Amelia here should have started demon hunting long ago. Now they’re just waiting out of fear of demons, wanting Amelia as their free bodyguard!

Darn it, the more she think about it, the angrier she get.

Ifia wished she could grab Amelia and leave, leaving these people to deal with the demons themselves. It would be best if they were all eaten by demons.

Sensing Ifia’s anger, Amelia found it amusing and reached out to hold her hand, secretly telling her in order to cheer her up.

“Ifia, don’t be angry. Coming here to guard today is just following orders. The next time, we’ll demand payment.”

“!”

As soon as she heard the word “payment,” Ifia immediately perked up.

When she glanced at Amelia, her black eyes sparkled, like a greedy cat seeing money.

(?????)

Amelia couldn’t help but raise her hand to ruffle Ifia’s head, her cute appearance making her want to hug Ifia tightly if the situation allowed.

Well…

Before repairing Ifia’s soul, she had promised to confess to Ifia proactively. Once they returned tonight, she could start preparing.

After all, if she delayed any longer, her little one might start biting people. As for her demon identity…

With Darwa City already in chaos because of demons, Amelia thought it best to temporarily set aside the idea of revealing her true self and wait for a while.

Although proactive confession seemed like Ifia was eager to define their relationship, Amelia was also willing to go along with it and happily break the final barrier between them.

There had been several occasions where Amelia felt that their relationship was about to come to light, but unfortunately, due to Ifia’s stubbornness, they had missed the chance. Therefore, this time, by forcing Ifia to “take the initiative,” the subsequent development went smoothly.

“Hmph, since you say so, Amelia, I’ll forgive them this time.”

These nobles must repent with money!!!

The thought of the nobles about to lose large sums of money immediately cleared Ifia’s cloudy mood. With a smile on her face, she walked towards the crowd. As soon as the two figures entered the torch-lit area, the previously noisy voices instantly ceased.

When Amelia Barlen wasn’t present, they could say whatever they wanted. But now that the related person had arrived, they had to shut up.

Otherwise, if they encountered demons later and the church failed to provide support, they would ultimately rely on Amelia Barlen to turn the tide.

Even if the crowd didn’t respect Amelia Barlen, they greatly admired her strength.

After the nobles finally quieted down, the church officials also breathed a sigh of relief. Without waiting for the nobles to flatter Amelia Barlen, they quickly announced the departure.

The one giving the departure order was someone familiar, Taroumati. Among them was also Saint Tiffany, with her eyes covered by a dark green ribbon!

Ifia secretly glanced at Taroumati.

Seeing the Saint with a gloomy expression during the day, she had thought something had happened between them.

But now, seeing Taroumati smiling happily, she realized she might have been mistaken. Thinking about this, Ifia couldn’t help but look again, accidentally making the person beside her jealous.

Amelia raised her hand to tilt Ifia’s head back, her purple eyes glowing hauntingly in the moonlight. Being stared at unblinkingly by her made Ifia feel a little dizzy.

“Focus on the road.”

“Okay.”

After Amelia ambiguously reminded her, Ifia obediently agreed and stopped being curious, walking quietly by Amelia’s side into the mansion ahead.

This time, they were there to exorcise Count Duler.

It was said that the demon summoned by Count Duler using magical plants was a voracious creature.

It not only devoured various kinds of food but even glass and stones…
