Please Bully Me, Miss Villainess!

Chapter 131 : Unexpected Reunion 2

The voice that escaped was as melodious as silver bells,

"—It's been a long time, Miss Yvonne."

As if unsure what expression to make, she awkwardly tugged at the corner of her mouth, giving Yvonne a somewhat unnatural smile.

For some reason, her face looked a bit red, as if just coming forward to speak had already consumed a huge amount of courage,

...Perhaps contrary to her appearance, she's unexpectedly the type to get easily embarrassed?

"This looks heavy, let me help you carry it."

"...Ah, thank you, that's a big help."

She proactively took half of the boxes from Yvonne's hands, seeming quite at ease carrying the heavy objects. Yvonne immediately felt much lighter.

...What's going on?

From her tone, it seems she really knows me?

However, Yvonne couldn't recall ever meeting such a cool girl.

With these doubts, the two walked up to the third floor,

"I'm sorry... it must be strange for me to suddenly speak to you like this?"

Perhaps seeing the confusion written all over Yvonne's face, the young lady looked a bit uneasy.

"No... I don't think that at all! Really!! If anything... you've been a big help."

But seeing Yvonne's unfamiliar demeanor, the young lady smiled wryly.

"Well... I suppose even my father wouldn't recognize me like this..."

After putting down the luggage at the door.

The tall young lady sighed, using her hand to lift her bangs, revealing a face too gallant for a girl.

"—Can you recognize me now?"

"...Who is this?"

Yvonne still didn't understand her meaning,

Although this face seemed familiar, the other's appearance still gave her a strong sense of incongruity.

"...Ha."

Finally, as if making some kind of decision, she looked around, and seeing no one nearby, lowered her voice and mustered the courage to seriously reveal a fact that almost made Yvonne's jaw drop:

"Um—I'm Michel, Miss Yvonne."

"........."

Hearing this name, Yvonne felt her brain short-circuit,

"...Which Michel?"

Because it was so unbelievable, Yvonne wanted to confirm again, unconsciously asking this extremely foolish question.

There's no girl named Michel among the people I know...

Could it be...

No, no, no—

People can't, at least shouldn't—

No matter how you look at it, it's impossible—!!!

"...The Michel who was once your fiancé, but later had the engagement canceled!!"

Although she wanted to brush it off with a casual "Are you joking?" and a laugh,

The other person didn't seem to be joking at all,

No way...

No way???

The Michel I know, although somewhat dislikable due to excessive narcissism... was definitely not this kind of character—

Yvonne felt her scalp tingling, her body frozen in place, unable to move.

Wait—

Wait??

Due to extreme shock, Yvonne even felt her tongue becoming clumsy.

"...You're kidding, right?? Does His Highness the Prince... have a cross-dressing habit?"

"No—it's not like that!!"

Michel strongly denied, her voice becoming even more high-pitched due to anxiety.

"This isn't cross-dressing!"

Mentioning this point, Michel looked like she was about to cry,

Not knowing exactly how to explain, Michel simply grabbed Yvonne's hand and pressed it against her chest.

"I'm sorry... but I think this might be easier to understand—"

After touching her body, the soft warmth that couldn't be grasped by one hand spread across Yvonne's palm.

"How is it...? ...Can you feel it? Can you understand?"

Michel (female) now anxiously looked at the speechless Yvonne

"!!"

Can the cross-dressing technology in this world achieve this level?

"...Is it real?"

"...It's real."

Yvonne inwardly exclaimed that this was bad.

This time, it seems she's been caught up in something really extraordinary.

By the time she noticed, feelings of jealousy had already spread like wildfire.

"............"

Plop.

Carrying a bag, Elsa looked at the scene at the doorway in disbelief, fresh oranges rolling all over the floor.

"As girls, you should take better care of yourselves—don't do such things in public!!"

She angrily pulled the two who lacked common sense into the room,

"...It's been a long time, Miss Elsa."

Michel, who had become a girl, naturally recognized Elsa too. Not just Yvonne, they were also childhood playmates,

"...You're His Highness Michel, aren't you."

Elsa's reaction speed was much faster than Yvonne's.

"Yes!!"

Seeing that she quickly recognized who he was, Michel was extremely moved,

But of course, they were the original male and female protagonists... it's only natural they would be so in sync.

"Well... let's eat an orange to calm down..."

"Thank you."

Watching their fingers touch as they passed the orange, Yvonne felt vaguely displeased.

Before, she could feel at ease because Michel was a man,

But now, the rival from the original work was no longer a man, but had become a crisis.

·

"...A demon cast a gender-reversing curse on you??"

After listening to Michel briefly explain what had happened to her, Yvonne inwardly clicked her tongue repeatedly.

Another incident independent of the main story line.

It seems not only herself was affected, but other people's stories were also disrupted to some extent.

"By the way... my little sister met with you earlier, right?"

"Yes, Miss Shirushi is still as energetic as ever."

Michel rotated the orange in her hand, sighing, her eyes full of doting and envy when talking about her sister.

"Although that child is still young, she's already a remarkable magic user."

Last time, Shirushi had run out looking for someone for the sake of her useless royal brother, hoping to find the whereabouts of that demon through the magical traces left when the spell was cast.

"I see..."

Combining this with Shirushi's earlier words, Yvonne finally understood some things,

So that's why that child said she was out 'looking for a certain demon'...

After the engagement with Yvonne was canceled, the Oz King arranged another marriage for Michel.

According to the rules, Michel, as a prince, must marry a woman from one of the four great families.

Although the engagement with Yvonne was canceled, the promise passed down through generations of the royal family still had to be fulfilled.

"Oh? Does this mean... Your Highness is dissatisfied with your new fiancée?"
