The Villainess With A Heroine Harem

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

While Noelle treated bathing and showering as a hygienic necessity, for Emilia, they were more of a source of relaxation. Therefore, by the time Emilia stepped out, a vague hint of hot steam still rising from her delicate skin, the older girl had already gotten ready and prepared breakfast.

Emilia was only slightly surprised to discover that Noelle could cook, but soon accepted it with a smile. "Alright. Do you have anything for me to wear?"

Meanwhile, the first thought that came to Noelle's mind when she saw the freshly showered Emilia was… did someone fill her water tank with holy water?

It wasn't that the crimson-haired girl looked like an angel, though that was up for debate, but all the bruises and marks on her skin were gone!

Given how thoroughly she had burned the image in her mind, there was no way Noelle would believe she was mistaken about the younger girl's thoroughly ravaged appearance in the morning, but the more she thought about it, the stranger she felt.

"Noelle?"

The gray-haired girl coughed in embarrassment as she realized that, in her daze, she had ended up completely ignoring Emilia's question. "S-Sorry, I was a little distracted. Take whatever you like from the wardrobe, um, as long as it fits."

Of course, Emilia didn't seem to mind at all, and even seemed pleased as she hopped off to the wardrobe, making Noelle wonder if the holy water also had an IQ reducing agent added in.

But seeing how the younger girl had already thrown a couple of outfits on the bed and was about to take off her towel, Noelle could only hurriedly exit the room in shame.

It was only when she heard a giggle through the door that the gray-haired girl realized she had been teased intentionally, and her mood turned complicated as she stared at the gleaming ladies' watch on her wrist.

If not for this hateful concept of time, she would surely have taught that smug little girl a lesson!

Unfortunately, even if Noelle was willing to put a stain on her impeccable attendance at work for the sake of a quickie in the morning, she wasn't quite as willing to accept making Emilia late, so she could only put this little grudge down for later.

Noelle couldn't help but sigh in her heart. 'If only I had the forethought of having someone bring her uniform here so we wouldn't have to make another trip to her mansion later, there would still be enough time.'

But thinking about it again, Noelle realized that she had never imagined even in her wildest dreams that Emilia would be staying over, let alone sleeping with her. So there was no way she could have expected such a thing and prepared in advance, right?

The gray-haired girl paused, suddenly having a strange thought. 'Wait… Emilia didn't return home last night, but I haven't received any communication or inquiry? How strange…'

Knowing Sam, shouldn't the whole city be turned inside out by now if she couldn't confirm Emilia's safety?

Could it be that… Emilia already told her she would be staying over?

Thinking about how eagerly this little rabbit had sent herself to a tiger's mouth, Noelle could only shake her head with a rueful smile.

When Nicole blinked her eyes open, her mind was still a little confused. 'Where am I? Who am I?'

There was a faint ache in her body, as if she had fallen down, and Nicole couldn't make sense of the situation at all. She didn't have a bad sleeping posture, and even when she woke up just now, everything looked orderly. So what was going on?

Trying her best to recall what happened, she slowly started recounting what she remembered. 'So Noelle brought her date back home, and it turned out to be Emilia… and then?'

She recalled going to sleep while listening to music, but her earphones were already neatly placed by the bedside table, as if she had already set them aside after waking up… but wasn't she just waking up now?

Suddenly, there was a flash of sexy lingerie in her mind, leaving Nicole dumbfounded. "No… what was I dreaming of again?"

Reaching into her pajamas with some doubt, Nicole's face immediately turned red. There was no mistaking it… she must have had a wet dream!

Strangely enough, she couldn't even remember whom she had dreamed of, but recalling that Noelle had brought her little goddess home last night, Nicole already had an answer in her heart.

A knock on the door interrupted her thoughts at this moment.

"Nicole, breakfast is ready!"

Although the one knocking on the door was definitely her cousin, but Nicole could also hear another sweet voice from further away, which definitely couldn't belong to Noelle.

Realizing that Emilia must have stayed the night, and she might have to face the object of her wet dream if she went out, Nicole immediately lost all her courage. "I-I'll have mine later, you go!"

"Alright."

Usually, she would already have been scolded for being tardy, but Nicole didn't find it strange that her cousin agreed so easily this time. After all, there was still a beautiful guest at the table, and even Noelle must care about maintaining a good image.

Vaguely, Nicole felt like she was forgetting something important, but she didn't dwell on that thought.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

It didn't take long before Emilia was done getting ready and joined Noelle to start the breakfast, and Noelle could only try her best to contain a grin as she watched the younger girl dressed in her own clothes.

Since their sizes weren't similar at all, Emilia had simply picked out a loose white t-shirt and a pair of blue shorts.

Although Emilia's current appearance could be considered sloppy, Noelle felt like she had an indescribable charm that made the crimson-haired girl appear even more beautiful than when she was properly dressed up.

There was a subtle feeling of satisfaction in her heart, as if she was looking at her own little wife who was kept at home, completely dependent on her lover, but Noelle quickly shook off that thought. 'What the hell am I thinking? We're not married yet!'
