The Baby Fairy Is A Villain [EN]: Chapter 36

“Looks like a dog.”

“……”

Everyone except Karha fell silent for a moment.

It was kind of….

True, but it felt a bit off.

Maybe it was the tone.

Still, it seemed they hadn’t been found out yet.

While Chesha was relieved, Ishuel sighed deeply.

“Please.”

“But it does look like one. Like my dog.”

“Yeah, but it sounds a bit weird to others, so please shut up.”

“Okay.”

Ishuel, having subdued his twin brother with harsh words, gently pushed him back and approached Hata.

Ishuel’s face was full of a soft smile.

He genuinely admired the hats displayed in the hat shop.

“You’re very skilled.”

“T, thank you.”

Nervous, Hata stuttered.

His eyes darted around, unable to look directly at Ishuel.

The first crisis, ‘not getting caught by Karha,’ had been safely overcome.

But now, the second crisis had arrived.

It was ‘not showing how happy he was to see Chesha.’

Hata tried his best to avoid eye contact with Chesha, who was nestled in Ishuel’s arms.

He was so glad he had hidden his ears and tail.

If his tail had been out, it would have been wagging like crazy.

While Hata was doing his best to remain composed, Ishuel smiled kindly and asked.

“Do you have a gentleman’s hat for an adult man and a boy, and any hats or accessories that a baby could use?”

Ishuel first lowered his hood and then Chesha’s hood as well.

The moment he saw Chesha, who was revealed with a flourish, Hata couldn’t help himself.

Hata muffled his mouth with his hand and muttered.

“So cute……”

Ishuel wore a proud expression at the heartfelt voice.

Strangely, the twins seemed to take personal pride whenever Chesha was praised, as if they themselves were being complimented.

‘I don’t know why they’re like that,’ Chesha wondered inwardly.

Hata then brought out the hats he had diligently made.

“I have many baby hats! And hair accessories too.”

Besides the ones he had received orders for from the clothing store, Hata had been diligently making hats for baby Chesha for a long time.

Thanks to disappearing early in the morning to tidy up the shop, he had neatly prepared the hats and accessories he had originally made, so there were many items to display.

In an instant, more than a dozen hats and hair accessories were lined up on the counter.

All of them were perfectly suited for Chesha.

Ishuel’s eyes began to sparkle.

“I’ll buy them all!”

Ishuel picked up a ribbon decoration and held it against Chesha’s head.

“Really wonderful…. Much better than the renowned artisans in the capital? No, there’s no comparison.”

Hata’s lips slowly curved upward at the lavish praise.

In order not to show too much that he liked it, Hata even cleared his throat and said in a somewhat haughty manner.

“Ahem, I’m glad you like them. I will bring hats for the gentleman and young master to wear as well.”

However, his back as he headed to the workshop betrayed his excitement.

Ishuel’s face lit up like a spring flower when he saw the hats that Hata brought next.

His tone also became very gentle, like a soft breeze.

“Let’s buy these too. What kind of wide-brimmed hats do you have? I’ll take them. Among the ones outside, I like this one and that one. Do you have any other recommendations?”

Hata had already grasped his tastes while staying at the Basilian mansion.

As expected, he had picked only the ones that Ishuel liked.

“Perfect……!”

Ishuel had completely fallen in love with Hata’s hats.

He put on a hat with a slightly flushed face and asked Chesha how it looked.

“But, boss.”

Karha, who had been looking around the store to pass the time, approached leisurely.

He asked casually, as if throwing out a random question.

“Do you also make potions at a hat shop?”

“Yes?”

Hata’s eyes widened.

Seeing Hata shrink in an instant, Karha tilted his head.

“Well…. I saw something about a baby fairy before.”

“T, that, I don’t know……”

“Ah, I didn’t look on purpose. I happened to see the inside of the store.”

Hata, who didn’t expect the potion talk, sweated profusely and panicked.

It seemed like he needed to divert Karha’s attention elsewhere.

But Chesha didn’t need to step in.

There was someone who would protect Hata on his own.

“What’s so important about that!”

Ishuel cut off Karha’s words, trembling.

“Why are you looking for a baby fairy? He’s right here!”

Ishuel shoved Chesha in front of Karha and shouted.

“Don’t bother the boss with useless words! He has to keep making hats!”

“Okay, okay……”

Ishuel was already completely devoted to Hata.

Karha quieted down at Ishuel’s powerful shout.

Thanks to that, Hata, who had safely overcome the crisis, looked at Ishuel with affectionate eyes.

Karha might not know, but at least Ishuel and Hata seemed like they would get along well in the future.

Overcoming a series of events, Chesha thought inwardly.

‘As expected, Karha came to the store that day to investigate something.’

Otherwise, there was no reason to enter the innermost hidden laboratory.

While Chesha was pondering Karha’s actions, Ishuel finished purchasing the hats.

It was such a huge purchase that it could be said that he bought the entire store, with some exaggeration.

Hata, who had suddenly become rich, glanced at Chesha while receiving Ishuel’s check.

Nod.

Chesha nodded subtly.

Hata took a breath.

And he carried out the mission Chesha had given him.

“Um, are you interested in clothes?”

“Clothes?”

“There’s a clothing store that sells clothes that go well with the hats I make.”

Hata paused for a moment.

It seemed difficult for him to praise Miya’s clothing store, which he secretly despised.

Originally, Hata wouldn’t even spit in the direction of Miya’s clothing store.

However, since it was something Chesha had ordered, he endured and eventually did it.

“If you want, I will guide you!”

As expected, Ishuel showed interest.

He looked at Karha with expectant eyes.

There was no one here who could say no to Ishuel.

Karha, who was sitting on a chair in the corner and yawning boredly, asked with half-closed eyes.

“Are we going?”

“Yes!”

“Yeah, we have to go…. If we don’t, he’ll kill me……”

Ishuel smiled brightly even while clearly hearing Karha’s grumbling.

He seemed to be in a very good mood.

Chesha, who had successfully led them to Miya’s clothing store, clenched one hand tightly.

‘Good, things are going smoothly.’

But things rarely go that smoothly, especially not in the underworld.

There was a reason why the underworld was the underworld.

The twins, guided by Hata, exclaimed briefly when they arrived at their destination.

“Oh.”

“Wow.”

Karha and Ishuel looked at Miya’s clothing store, each uttering different exclamations.

Miya’s clothing store had an exterior that was very much like an underworld shop.

Windows with iron bars.

Walls with decorations such as scissors and giant needle-shaped iron ornaments.

The huge door was a thick iron door, but….

“Why is the doorknob like this?”

A small hand ax was embedded in the doorknob.

Ishuel muttered suspiciously and looked at the smiling face drawn on the iron door.

Then he raised his gaze to the sign.

The sign was also chaotic.

The jagged font and the wavy marks were a mess.

The most noticeable thing was the carriage on the roof of the store.

A black carriage with a skull shape and the letters ‘Miya’ painted in large letters was placed on the roof as a decoration.

‘Why the heck did she put that up there,’ Chesha wondered.

It was a taste that I really couldn’t get used to no matter how much I looked at it.

In fact, Chesha had seen it so much that he was now used to it, but he was newly embarrassed to come with people who were visiting for the first time.

‘I just hope she doesn’t do anything weird.’

Chesha held a small wish in his heart.

But Chesha’s wish was not fulfilled.

Chesha’s face turned red from the moment he entered the clothing store.

“Woo. Hoo. Hoo. Hoot.”

With a strange laugh, Miya appeared, making bizarre hand gestures.

“The appearance of noble children in an underworld clothing store……”

She pretended to bare her teeth, growling.

“The ignorant must know the terrors of the underworld, meow!”

She even had claw weapons on her hands.

Miya laughed loudly, clashing her sharp claw-shaped weapons together.

“Woohoo! The tender flesh of young noble masters is just a bite for our underworld residents, meow!”

She shouted, striking a pose like a villain boss.

“Know that you are dead today, meow!”

It was a terrible sight that I couldn’t bear to watch…….
