A Sweet Girl Won't Be Fooled By The Villainess - [Vol. 5] Chapter 35

[Vol. 5] Chapter 35: She is Strong Too

“Ah? How could that be! Those nobles who went mad because of summoning demons have clearly returned to normal.”

“That’s right, just the other day when I went out to buy things, I happened to meet a friend who works in another noble mansion. She also mentioned that the nobles have returned to their previous selves.”

“Could it be that someone has a grudge against the nobles and started spreading rumors privately?”

“Speaking of which, Miss Barlen is indeed rational and smart. She didn’t blindly follow the trend, much stronger than those who boldly summoned demons.”

Ifia reclined in the suspended basket swing, her lips twitching involuntarily as she listened to the maids’ conversation.

Amelia certainly wouldn’t blindly follow the trend.

Because the magical plants summoned were auctioned off by her.

Moreover, due to auctioning off these magical plants, Amelia, as the Demon Lord, had to negotiate with those demons to try to prevent them from harming the Darwa City…

However, thinking about Amelia confronting numerous demons, who knows what kind of injuries she might sustain!

Even if she’s powerful, she couldn’t withstand overwhelming numbers… Besides, Amelia is just a slightly stronger demon, not a world-destroying demon god or something.

She can still get hurt!

Ifia sighed in frustration, not wanting Amelia to interfere too much.

Although she’s on the human side, she can’t demand that Amelia shoulder everything just because of that. While others might not feel it, she feels for her!

“Sigh, I didn’t believe it at first either, but as I observed for a longer time, I noticed something unusual!”

The maid who first mentioned that the nobles possessed by demons hadn’t returned to normal let out a sigh, then immediately began to explain. Without waiting for others to speak, the maid continued.

“If their insane behavior disappears, does that mean they’ve returned to normal?”

“You know, demons are always cunning fellows. Maybe because of the suppression by the Church Saint, they’ve had to hide and pretend to be normal humans.”

“Have you not heard any rumors lately when you went out? Relationships between various families have rapidly changed, even friendly ones, with some resorting to direct physical altercations, resulting in significant financial and property losses.”

As Ifia listened, her dark eyes blinked, and as a homebody, she chose not to speak.

During this period, the most frequently used spot in her house was the bedroom…

Her land was almost being plowed due to excessive use.

Meanwhile, Jessica, the messenger, was preoccupied lately due to Austin’s suspected infidelity, naturally not in the mood to gather gossip from others, leaving Ifia without her only source of gossip.

But, to be fair, the maids were quite well-informed…

In the future, when she has time, she’ll come lie down here on the suspended basket swing more often. She’ll definitely be able to hear more gossip!

“Is that so? Siman, you’re making a fuss over nothing. The conflicts between the various families have never stopped… Unlike us hardworking folks who earn money through labor, nobles can rake in heaps of gold coins just by flapping their mouths. They’re all quick-witted people, so disputes are nothing out of the ordinary.”

“But recently, these conflicts between families have been too frequent. It’s like someone is constantly stoking the flames. If this continues, Darwa City will descend into chaos!”

“It’s not that serious. Right now, it’s just a few shops closing down. Besides that, there haven’t been any other disturbances!”

“After hearing Siman say that, I’m feeling a bit uneasy too. It might be a sign of impending chaos!”

The maids debated fiercely about whether Darwa City would descend into chaos, each side refusing to yield, almost coming to blows even though they were initially just gossiping.

Ifia couldn’t help but feel exasperated as she listened to the increasingly loud arguments. She pondered whether she should go out and try to calm things down.

As for whether the nobles possessed by demons had truly returned to normal?

Ifia didn’t know.

After all, the first noble declared to have been successfully exorcised by the church hadn’t actually been completely rid of the demon. The demon, wearing a human skin, chatted with Amelia, the demon lord, and was even personally caught by her…

Therefore, the church’s claim of successful exorcism had its flaws and was not to be trusted.

However, if these demons haven’t truly been exorcised and are living in Darwa City under human identities just to pick fights with other families, that’s really demeaning.

After all, they’re demons!

Weren’t they capable of wiping out entire families with a mere flick of their hands?

Why did they stoop to pretending to be human?

Or perhaps, was there a larger scheme at play?

Ifia pondered for a moment, feeling a headache coming on. She wasn’t suited for pondering such convoluted matters, especially with incomplete information. Even if she thought until her head was spinning, she wouldn’t arrive at the right answers.

It might be better to ask Amelia in the future. Let a clever person help analyze the situation. Perhaps, due to her identity as demons, she could obtain insider information from other demons…

Ah, that sounds like a plan!

“Hehehe, who would’ve thought Miss Barlen was so powerful! She’s kept Miss Ifia bedridden for days. You didn’t see it, but Miss Ifia was staggering even while walking today!”

“Oh? Is that so? No wonder Miss Ifia looked so weak today, she was practically leaning on the wall.”

“Miss Barlen’s strength is widely recognized, she’s unbeatable in any aspect!”

“Miss Ifia still needs to exercise more!”

???

Ifia didn’t understand.

She had just zoned out for a moment, why were the maids making such a fuss and changing the subject so quickly!

They had been discussing extremely serious matters earlier, and now, in the blink of an eye, they were discussing whether Amelia was strong or not…

Ah, please stop.

Why did everyone always say Amelia was strong!

She was strong too.

It’s just that there was a huge gap in physical strength between demons and humans, so it was normal for her not to be able to win.

Instead, being able to hold out for so long against Amelia was already super strong.

Ifia felt frustrated, but she obediently shrunk back into herself, not wanting to be noticed at this moment and face social death.

The maids’ conversation was quickly becoming vulgar.

She’s still a pure girl.

She can’t stand hearing about these things.

But what they’re saying about the scandalous affairs in Darwa City is quite interesting.

For example, the wife of a certain nobleman had an affair with a male servant under the moonlight, engaging in a three-hundred-round battle in the garden, trying out all sorts of positions. Just as they sent away the nobleman’s wife, the nobleman himself sneaked in for an encounter with the male servant again.

The male servant’s stamina was extraordinary, able to attack and defend, continuously outputting a large amount every day.

Unfortunately, their good times didn’t last long, as they were caught by other servants.

This left the nobleman and his wife shocked beyond measure, neither of them expecting the male servant to be so bold, making them…

Ifia was listening with relish, wishing she had some sunflower seeds to snack on while she listened. But then, a familiar voice interrupted her.

“Ifia! Ifia! There’s news from Stefan Parch’s side. We can meet tomorrow morning!”

Oh no!

How did Jessica know she was here?

(O_O)!
