Please Bully Me, Miss Villainess!

Chapter 178 : This Jealous Expression of Yours 3

"Have you... seen the witch?"

Staring at Elsa, Shirushi seemed to no longer intend to beat around the bush,

Faced with such a question, Elsa only felt cold sweat breaking out on her back,

'Don't lie to that person.'

Brin's warning still echoed in her ears.

She didn't know how to answer,

Seeing Elsa's troubled expression, Shirushi sighed.

"Forget it, pretend I didn't ask."

Shirushi put the book away again,

From the other's facial expression and reaction, she had already confirmed one thing.

She must have seen the 'witch', and had intricate connections with her.

There will be many more opportunities anyway,

The rest... she just needs to slowly pry the information out of this one's mouth.

"Then let me ask a different question—"

She paused, looking up at Elsa with her eyes, her face full of displeasure:

"You... how far exactly have you gone with Big Sister Yvonne?"

This point also concerned Shirushi very much,

"Progress... naturally, we've done what should be done, and even what shouldn't be done—"

Elsa deliberately spoke a bit crudely, observing the expression on Shirushi's face, which was indeed as fascinating as she had expected.

"You... shameless!!"

"If I'm shameless, then Evie is the same~ Has your Big Sister also become shameless?"

"Big, Big Sister is different!!"

Shirushi became flustered,

No matter how precocious, Shirushi was still just a child after all. Hearing such extreme content, her face instantly turned bright red.

"Hehehehehe, how about it? Jealous~? Envious~?"

"You won't get away with this!"

That's right... what I've always wanted to see is exactly this jealous expression of hers!

However, Elsa hadn't anticipated what outrageous things this young princess would do next out of jealousy.

"Miss Smollett, please wait a moment!"

"Your Highness... do you have something to discuss?"

"Regarding the proposal for building the teleportation network, there are a few points I'd like to discuss with you."

"I have some points as well."

Although the meeting had ended, Yvonne was still surrounded by many scholars and nobles.

"As mentioned in the meeting, teleportation using ley lines... does this method of teleportation have any safety concerns?"

"Regarding safety, I believe it can be guaranteed. Of course, to prevent extreme situations, each teleportation point should have professional magic users to deal with accidents."

Essentially, except for unreasonable existences like the 'system', everything that exists in this world has certain correlations and follows certain rules.

Even artifacts like the 'Silver Shoes' are no exception,

What is the essence of teleportation magic?

The Silver Shoes use spatial teleportation through ley lines, but after experimenting, it was found that it seemed to only be able to teleport herself and Elsa. So after experimenting, Yvonne decided to use this characteristic to develop a more widely applicable project.

She and Elsa had already conducted related research in this field before, further discovering the possibility of 'long-distance teleportation using ley lines'.

In other words, if sufficient magical power can be provided, long-distance teleportation through ley lines is not impossible.

......

'Bring new things to this world'

Yvonne always remembered what Dorothea had entrusted to her before leaving.

As long as new things keep appearing, this unfinished story can continue.

Now, she wants to bring new changes to this world.

But ley lines are not like railway tracks for trains, they can't be artificially constructed. They can only be roughly mapped out through exploration, then scholars draw ley line maps, and only then can the construction of 'teleportation points' proceed.

"Can objects be teleported?"

"Yes, but there will be certain weight and volume limitations."

"With Oz Kingdom's current manpower and resources, how long would it take to build this teleportation network?"

"......"

Yvonne pondered, then tapped the wooden board she was holding with her documents.

"The ideal scenario currently is three years—"

By then, it would be possible to establish standardized teleportation points in cities covered by the main ley lines... Using the enormous energy of the ley lines, long-distance teleportation can be achieved at a low magical cost... If the teleportation fees are set reasonably, it could break even in about a year.

Ooh ooh—

After hearing Yvonne's full explanation, the nobles and scholars present all showed expressions of shock and admiration, with some even starting to applaud:

"How amazing!"

"As expected of the Smollett family..."

"I never thought a woman could be so knowledgeable!"

Just as everyone was praising Yvonne for her 'beauty and wisdom', a discordant voice suddenly interjected.

"By the way, Miss Yvonne! You don't have a fiancé now, right? Will you still be meeting with the Prince??"

The previous dissolution of the engagement with the royal family had also been widely circulated

"If not, please, please consider me!"

"—Please consider me as well!"

"...I'm sorry."

Yvonne smiled wryly as she rejected the pink olive branches thrown by the nobles.

Since regaining her title, her suitors had only been increasing,

And... is it because she's wearing glasses today? She felt the gaze of these men on her was overly eager, their enthusiasm a bit too much.

In any case, the protective charm Elsa gave her really has been a great help,

But, if things need to be clarified, they should be clarified properly.

Yvonne bowed to thank the young nobleman who had first expressed his feelings towards her.

"I'm sorry, I currently have someone I'm dating."

Hearing this news, all the unmarried men present were as if struck by lightning on a clear day

"—Who is it?!"

Who is that lucky person!!

The young masters were grinding their teeth in frustration. At this moment, Elsa, who was staying in the Princess's boudoir, sneezed.

"Could it be..."

All the nobles were guessing which nobleman could be worthy of this rumored Young Lady.

They probably couldn't guess even if they racked their brains, because her lover had neither a title... nor was male.

Elsa...

Every time she thought of the always smiling girl who had given her these glasses, Yvonne felt she had the motivation to keep working hard.

However, thinking of her now, Yvonne's heart was filled with doubts.

Why was Elsa here?

And together with Shirushi??

Yvonne felt very uneasy in her heart.

This state had started ever since she saw the two standing side by side and chatting happily during the day

What had happened that she didn't know about?

There were too many things she couldn't understand, and Yvonne unconsciously quickened her pace.
