The Villainess and Modern Weapons
Chapter 48 Unsettling herbal soup

Tap tap tap.

The sound of footsteps resounded along the elegant-style passageway.

A girl in her 18s dressed as a waiter carries a bowl of herbal soup in a tray she carries. A smile ceaselessly faded on his face. He continued walking until he stopped at the door of a room.

Tok.

His hand knocked on the door slowly, he waited for someone to answer the knock on the door from inside the room.

The voice of a little girl was heard, her voice that sounded lazy and cute made anyone who heard it anxious.

"Who?."

"Miss, it's me. I brought her herbal soup from the Duchess." Reply to the dark brunette girl.

The lazy and cute voice appeared again. "Oh, comein..

"Lily." A sweet smile was on his face.

Lili opened the door and walked over to Sherlin who was sitting on the edge of the bed with Felix and Gloxinia standing at the side.

Sherlin looked at the soup and stroked her chin. "Hmm.so, this is the fat-busting soup my mom sent me?."

Lili nodded. "Yes, miss. Lady Duchess advised that you should finish the soup because it is good for your body."

"......."

Sherlin silently did not answer. He just looked at the herbal soup. Hm, it looks like..mud puddle water that is on the road and mixed with mashed grass!.

Sherlin smiled clumsily, where did her mother get this herbal soup from?!.

In the past did not it look like this?, although not much different but the herbal soup that now looks more terrible!.

He had already tasted the herbal soup that he used to and it felt very unsettling. The soup's texture was diluted unlike its look, but it felt really ironic.

First, when the herbal soup enters your mouth and touches your tongue. The bitter taste spread in all directions and then followed with a bland taste and a strong sour taste!.

The expression on your face when tasting it will be ugly. Your eyebrows will wrinkle and your eyes will be closed, and you will bite your lips.

When Sherlin first tried a spoonful of herbal soup first, she immediately regurgitated it and fell helplessly.

And now his mother told him to finish off all that herbal–-raced soup?!.

Holy hooch! what did her mother think!?. Sherlin stared at the soup in horror, her body shaking and her mouth smiling forcefully.

Sherlin had to make excuses so she wouldn't have to eat that herbal soup.

'Wawat! I have to think of a way to avoid that poisonous soup!.' Sherlin silently spoke in her heart.

Sherlin cleared her throat slowly. "Ekhem, ekhem."

"Lili, I think my fatigue is gone and I'm going to bed soon. So, regarding that herbal soup I'm not–.

"Miss, the Duchess also advised that this soup must be exhausted at all costs. So, before you go to bed, you should finish this soup first." Lili smiled knot.

Sherlin was silent, she bit her lip. He couldn't fight back against that mother!

At first glance comes the memory of the quarrel between the Duke and Duchess in the dining room. Sherlin shuddered in horror. If he did not eat the herbal soup, wouldn't something shocking happen to him?!.

With hesitation, Sherlin reached out her hand about to grab the bowl.

He lifted the bowl trembling and tasted a little. His tongue was instantly muffled, his eyes blank.

Kan, as Sherlin had guessed. Soup taste..very.

Sherlin smiled wryly. All right, he'll finish this soup with one sip so that it doesn't taste too much.

Sherlin put on a confident look, she then gulped down all the soup with a single gulp.

Sirk!!

The bowl is put back on the tray roughly. Sherlin smiled sweetly. "Done!."

A second after Sherlin spoke she fell limp on the mattress.His face was pale, her gaze was also pitiful. Sherlin K.O's!

Bruckk.

"Young lady!."

"Miss!!."

"Meow?!."

...----------------...

The sun slowly began to show itself, its light shining in all directions.

Cip..cip...

The chirping of birds perched on the tree branch sounded. The bird flapped its wings towards the balcony of a room.

Tak.

His little feet climbed over the balcony railing, he chirped back.

Cip.cip..

Clamps.

Gloxinia walked quickly to chase away the bird, she threw her hands out hoping that the bird was scared and left.

"Hush! hush! bird, go. Don't tweet on the balcony. Young miss is resting, you're bothering her."

"...."

The bird was silent, it did not move the slightest bit from its place.

Gloxinia was irritated, she approached the bird and was about to scare him away so that he would leave immediately.

Tap tap–

'Sister!.'

"Aaaak." Gloxinia shouted in shock, the bird flinched and immediately flew away.

'Hey!! you surprised me!.' Gloxinia sighed. Eventually the bird left, though she was shocked because her sister suddenly contacted her. But the bird went too.

'Tsk, yes sorry.' Answer his sister Gloxinia.

'No what. What did you call me sister?.'

'Brother, you must come here again! do all this shitty work!. I'm tired already! at least give me a little vacation. I also need time to rest and do what I like."

Gloxinia blinked a few times. 'Brother, didn't I leave a week ago?.'

'Hmph! what do you think I am?! anyway you should come back here again brother!!.'

'Hey! wait up! i–.

"......"

Gloxinia scratched her head, should she come again?.

Gloxinia walked back in and closer to the bed.

She smiled a little. "Miss, are you feeling better?. I've already driven the bird away."

The red-blossomed girl lying limp on the bed opened her eyes slowly. He blinked his eyes a few times slowly.

"Eum, thanks Gloxinia.." Reply with a low tone.

"Young lady, do I need to bring mint leaf water again? your face looks very pale. W-do you feel nauseous again?!."

Sherlin closed her eyes and nodded slowly. "Yes, bring me another mint leaf."

"Sure miss! please wait a minute."

Sherlin nodded slowly. Gloxinia ran outside and opened the door loudly.

Blam.

"......"

Sherlin is not feeling well. After last night he drank the herbal soup that his mother sent him he became like this. My livid eyes, pale countenance, limp body and nausea feeling that kept coming cause Sherlin can only lie on her bed.

Moments later, Gloxinia came up with a tray and bowl of warm water and mint leaves submerged in her bowl.

The drap drap.

Clamps.

The tray and bowl were placed near the table, precisely on the table next to the bed Sherlin occupied.

Gloxinia carefully lifted the bowl and handed it to Sherlin. "Please.nona."

"Yes, thanks.." Sherlin smiled faintly and took the bowl slowly.

"Huuff." Sherlin breathed in the refreshing aroma of the mint's leaf marinade.

"Yeah."

"How lady? are you feeling better?." Gloxinia smiled sweetly, her eyes twinkling.

"certain."

"Thank God then, I'm relieved. I was so shocked when you suddenly fainted last night."

"....." Sherlin did not reply, she just kept silent while smiling.

Crick..krik....

For some reason, the atmosphere became silent all of a sudden.

Sherlin busied herself busily inhaling the scent of the mint leaf water, while Gloxinia was deep in thought.

A little while later, Gloxinia began to talk. He wanted to tell Sherlin if she was going to go again to the Fairy Kingdom.

Sherlin was shocked and looked towards Gloxinia. "You're going again Gloxinia?. Looks like you've got a lot of work, huh?."

"Yes, my job is very much. My sister needs me."

"Of course, go. By the way when did you leave? now?."

"Most likely yes, miss. I'll make excuses for the butler to leave." Gloxinia smiled slightly.

"Hm." Sherlin cleared her throat slowly.

Ahh it feels like he is very bored and lethargic, just lying in bed isn't it very boring?.

He wanted to do something and of course it had to be away from the bed.

Tok to tok.

"Miss, can I come in?." Lili

Suddenly a knock on the door, Sherlin invites Lili to enter.

Clamps.

Tap tap tap.

"What's Lili?."

"Miss there's a letter from the magic tower.." Lili gave a tray containing a letter with a red stamp that had a lotus flower image.

Sherlin rounded her eyes, her mouth wide open. If there's a fly it can be confirmed that he's about to enter Sherlin's mouth.

"W-what?! you're serious Lili!?."

"Sure lady, how could I dare to deceive you." Lily calmly answered.

"Ah, ha ha ha." Sherlin laughed awkwardly.

Then, Sherlin took the letter and opened it and read it.

...----------------...

To my precious student, Sherlina Carolle Von Edinburgh.

Hello my student, how are you today? teacher hope you are okay.

Teacher wants to convey about the teacher's invitation to you, the teacher will pick you up later in the afternoon. So, get ready.

Greetings from your teacher, Fernand Zelary.

...----------------...

".......Teacher wants to take me away.." Sherlin lowered her head.

She secretly smiled. The letter he held was thrown to the side.

Lili and Gloxinia who saw him were shocked, they looked at Sherlin worriedly. In their minds, the current Sherlin was extremely pitiful. Invited by the teacher to travel but unfortunately he is not feeling well so, very dear.

Suddenly, Sherlin looked up and smiled widely. He got off his bed and jumped up and down in excitement despite his somewhat limp body.

"Yeahhhh!! finally!!!."

"Young lady!." Lili was about to hold Sherlin's shoulder when Sherlin picked up and was about to fall.

But Sherlin did not fall. He can keep his body balanced. As a result, he now looked like a limp jellyfish.

Gloxinia and Lili stared anxiously at Sherlin.

"N-miss.do not be too pushy.a-you need not force yourself to go..." Gloxinia.

Sherlin grinned. "Don't worry! I'm fine!."

"Let's get ready! you guys help me!."

"eeee? b-well miss.."

TBC.
