Chapter 50: Dungeon 3-1

Dungeon 3 part 1

Chapter 50 of “As A Result Of Breaking An Otome Game, The Villainess Young Lady Becomes A Cheat! (Part 1)”

Today was a revenge trip to the eighth level of the dungeon where we had to prepare various equipment and tools in order to counter the Illusion Wraiths.

Today’s participants were the members of Team Leah, led by my father, myself, and my brother. Chris-sama, who hadn’t been here for a long time, and Mira, who was participating publicly for the first time, were both here as well.

Mira had previously been secretly following us into the dungeon, so we decided that she would be okay.

There were strong adults here, too.

I was happy to see that Howard was not here today to participate in the knight’s expedition. I did not want to see that hot-headed man right now.

Mira had recently stopped hiding herself, perhaps due to being swayed around by my brother and I for so long.

I can’t help but feel that I don’t matter anymore…

Is that good?…Well, it’s fine.

Mira, who was meeting Chris-sama for the first time, greeted him and the other members of Team Leah. Once that was done, we began to make our way to the eighth level of the dungeon.

First, we went down to the first basement floor. From there, we transport to the seventh dungeon level and head for the exit.

“Chris-sama, it’s been a while. How have you been?”

I talked to Chris-sama as I walked.

Chris-sama, who I hadn’t seen in a while, seemed to be in a good mood and was smiling.

“Yes. Charl seems to be doing fine as well. I’ve heard a lot of rumors about you from Lucas.”

“…Rumors?”

“About Mira’s hair being forcibly cut, about Ricardo and…”

I knew it was disrespectful, but I covered Chris-sama’s mouth.

“Brother…?”

I glared at my brother, but he kept a cool face.

“Charlotte. Chris-sama is about to stop breathing, you know?”

I looked at the hand I was holding and saw that Chris-sama’s face had turned pale.

His eyes were somewhat vacant.

That’s not good!

I hurriedly removed the hand that was holding Chris’s mouth.

…I almost killed the crown prince.

“Ch-Chris-sama! I’m so sorry!”

“No, no…it’s okay. I’m sorry, too. I guess I shouldn’t have said that.”

Chris-sama waved his hand and accepted my apology, but his face was still pale.

Chris-sama forgave me, but…”Attempted murder of the Crown Prince”

—Isn’t that just a straight shot to being executed by decapitation!?

I took out a bottle that I had been secretly carrying.

“Chris-sama, take this…!”

“Hmm? Should I drink it?”

Chris-sama opened the lid of the bottle I had given him and drank down the contents in one gulp.

“……’

I had given it to him myself, but even so…Chris-sama drank it without any hesitation at all.

If I were a bad person, I could have easily killed you.

Still, thinking that he trusted me made me feel a bit happy.

“Charl! This is delicious!”

Chris-sama smiled brightly, and his complexion had regained its original color, unlike the pale face he had just had.

“Moreover, the muscle pain and tiredness I had until yesterday are completely gone!”

Oh. That’s great.

“I’m glad to hear that.”

I smiled at Chris-sama.

Now I can avoid execution!!

“Mira…are you ready?”

“Okay.”

At that moment, I thought I heard the voices of my brother and Mira walking behind me.

“…What!? Oh, Brother!?”

I was suddenly pinned down from behind by my brother.

I was trapped by his strong arms and could not move at all.

“What’s going on? Lucas?”

Chris-sama was panicking in front of me.

“Mira. Go through her pockets.”

My brother ignored him and gave instructions to Mira.

Mira, who was instructed, silently searched my skirt pocket.

“There they are!”

What Mira found in my skirt pocket were four small bottles. Each of the four bottles had a different shape, but one of them was the same as the bottle I had given to Chris-sama.

Inside each bottle was a liquid.

Uh oh…

I could feel my blood quickly drain away from my face.

“Charlotte…what is this?”

The Demon Lord Lucas whispered in my ear.

I bit my lip tightly and shook my head from side to side, trying to resist.

“There are several ways to get you to talk, but…Mira, please.”

I heard a chilling voice that was so sweet it gave me the creeps.

Eeeeeek!

As I began to shake and tremble, I realized that I had made the wrong decision.

Yes. I had to apologize to my brother.

“Oh, Big brother!”

“We’ll talk later…okay?”

Agh, the Demon Lord has descended!!

I looked at Chris-sama as if I wanted to cry, but he just shook his head with pity in his eyes.

Chris-sama you jerk!

“This is what His Highness Christopher drank, isn’t it?”

Mira showed me a bottle.

“[Ultra High Potion. It can instantly heal any injury or fatigue even on the verge of death! It can also heal deficiencies and regrow missing body parts! Has a refreshing lemon sour (non-alcoholic) flavor]…”

…I thought I only made a potion, but…

Did I really make a potion that was “Ultra” and ‘High”?

…As expected of Cheat-san

‘The flavor is a certified lemon sour flavor!’

‘It’s refreshing and delicious!!’

…All the stares I’m getting hurt…

“…Yes. I’m sorry.”

“What about that one?”

“Um…[High Performance Eye Drops. Can cure eye strain and recover one’s eyesight. It can even cure blindness! Has a sour calpis flavor (non-alcoholic)]…”

Aside from that…

[All-purpose stomach medicine. Useful to those who live in a stressful society! It is even able to plug up holes in your stomach! Has an orange cassis flavor (non-alcoholic)]

[Fast-acting Hair Growth Restorative. Useful to those who suffer from hair loss and thinning hair! If that is you, then this is it!! Say goodbye to wigs today! Has a red wine flavor (non-alcoholic)]

“““…………”””

The three of us were looking at each other with indescribable faces at the unexpectedly bullshit effect.

“Ehehe?”

I laughed and tried to cover it up.

Well…you’ve probably noticed it by now.

For some reason, whenever I dabble in medicinal magic, I end up with that has a non-alcoholic flavor from something in Izumi’s world.

…Perhaps one of my dreams has come true with this…!?!

If I add alcohol to these, they would make a fine alcoholic drink!!

I can drink all the delicious alcohol I want!!!

Yay!!!

“Confiscated.”

After releasing me, my brother mercilessly stowed them into his own pocket.

“Big brother!”

Ahh!! My liquors!!! -cries-

Huh? Mira and Chris-sama are looking a little regretful.

Mira…is that the hair growth restorer? You want hair-growth medicine?!?

Chris-sama…the stomach medicine?

My brother whispered to me, who was disappointed to have my long-awaited alcoholic beverages (non-alcoholic) taken away.

“Charlotte is the one who will be in trouble if you don’t get your act together. We don’t know anything about ‘white wine’ or ‘lemon sour,’ do we?”

I was taken aback by the dismayed look on my brother’s face.

That’s right. There is no such thing in this world…

It’s fine if it’s just my brother.

But what about the others???

I wanted to hide the fact that I was the ‘Gift of the Red Star’ as much as possible.

Otherwise…it could cause a huge fuss.

I felt like a dust had been removed from my eyes.

In addition to Mira, there were many other ‘appraisers’ out there.

It would be the end of it all if they questioned what I had made…!!!

I hugged my brother tightly.

“…I’m sorry.”

“You can share it. If you ever want to try it out, just do it in front of me, okay?”

“…Yes.”

My brother gently stroked my head for the first time in a long time.

“Then, let’s move on, shall we?”

That’s right. I forgot about the important dungeon…

My father and his friends were waiting for us at the exit of the seventh level, a short distance away.

T/N: I have to say, I read some of the manga version of this novel, and while many of the events that occur are the same, they are all happening at different times compared to the novel. The novel is more detailed with many timeline differences in my opinion.
