Chapter 9.1



The novel ‘Villain Hunter\' did not spend much time explaining how the currency worked.

In the first place, the protagonist of ‘Villain Hunter\' was a guy who didn\'t care about money.

The only explanation that I remembered about money was that one gold coin could support a family of four for a month. If we compare it to Korean Won, it should be between 1 million and 2 million Won, right?

I really hated that there was no concrete information and only a vague estimate. In fact, there was no other accurate explanation than that.

Of course, for the poor, the actual value might be even higher.

Plus, that amount was just a tip.

“Hiii, a gold coin!”

From the waitress\' point of view, it was not surprising that she shouted in shock.

As a veteran employee, the larger the tip, the quieter they would be and securely stow it in their pocket. But, seeing that she just shouted in surprise, was she actually a newbie?

“Is this not enough? I thought one coin would suffice.”

The problem was that, in response to the outburst, Aira took another gold coin from her pocket and handed it to the waitress…

As a result, the waitress was on the verge of passing out.

“So, so much money! Thank you!! Thank you!!! Heu, uh, I’ll immediately bring the Manager!”

Tadat, Tadadadat-

The girl immediately scurried away without missing a beat. The customer wanted to see a Nymph, then she shall bring her one!

“It\'s my first time tipping. It\'s fun. Did I do it right?”

Aira was naive about her first tipping experience. She knew nothing. I couldn\'t even smile.

Because of what just happened, people\'s attention was unintentionally drawn towards us.

━Hey, did you see that? They gave her a gold coin as a tip. Two even!

━Is she the daughter of a noble family? Why is she in a trashy place at a time like this?

━Who knows? Probably to experience being a commoner or something? It\'s a recent fad apparently. She doesn’t seem to have a single escort, other than that guy. Is he a servant?

I could see a lot of eyes turning towards us, perhaps from noticing our wealth. It seemed that our identities had not been revealed, but it was clear that the situation was not very good.

It would be dangerous if we got caught in an argument or something.

Though it was not us that would be in danger, it was them.

Because Aira was not merciful…

Meanwhile, Aira kept talking to me, as if she didn\'t care about our surroundings.

“I did good, right? I heard that in a place like this, you have to tip.”

“Yes, you did a great job. But, I think the amount was a bit large. In fact, one copper coin is enough.”

“One copper coin? But I don\'t have that? I have never heard of such a thing from Elga."

It made sense. Since you tried to buy flowers from the children with gold coins…

Aira lacked common sense.

But it didn\'t mean that she was dumb. For example, this instance…

"My Lady, excuse me, do you know what 351 times 357 is?”

“Why do you suddenly ask that? Anyways, that is easy. 125,307.”

From this, one could see that Aira was smart enough to complete a complex calculation in an instant.

Otherwise, she couldn’t have become a Rank 7 Magician, which dealt with complex magic. After all, it was said that magic required mathematical prowess.

However, she didn\'t know that one copper coin was enough as a tip…

Excellent brain, but no common sense and background knowledge.

What a waste.

No matter how far she was from succeeding the throne, growing up like a flower in a greenhouse, at this point, one couldn\'t help but wonder what kind of childhood she had.

In the meantime, the things she went through broke her mind.

This was Aira\'s current state.

Then why not teach Aira common sense? Some would say.

However, since Aira did not trust people, she refused to believe the words of others.

To exaggerate, even if someone said ‘2 plus 2 equals 4\', Aira wouldn\'t believe it.

The only people Aira listened to were me and Elga, if I had to include her. However, Elga was more like a bad friend and a bad influence rather than a good teacher.

I was also not in a position to teach anyone, due to my lack of common sense in this bizarre world.

"Um."

I was having a headache.

With a throbbing head, I decided to change my thinking into a positive one.

Like, Aira\'s condition had improved significantly.

About a year ago, when I first met Aira at a court banquet, she was like a rose full of thorns.

In the past, no one could talk to her nor would she listen to anyone. Compared to back then, the difference was like Heaven and Earth.

“I can\'t wait to see a Nymph. Will she come out soon? How much longer do we need to wait? Are the rumors true, that Nymphs like candy?”

Before, it was impossible for Aira to wait for something like she was doing right now.

This basically meant that even Aira could change.

Yes. At this point, anyone should be able to tell.

I was trying to change Aira from a tyrant to a normal human being. At the very least — that was my goal.

If the situation proceeded like that in the novel, then eventually, one day, Aira would be executed.

It couldn\'t be avoided.

It was then I realized.

What if I twisted the story?

Stopping Belmott\'s execution not too long ago was part of my efforts to change the future.

The deterrence of Belmott\'s execution was quite effective.

Perhaps, by twisting the story so much, Aira wouldn\'t ever get executed.

To save Aira and myself, I needed to stabilize the kingdom, leading it to a happy ending of a peaceful world.

Shouldn\'t that be my, the evil Tae-oh Gospel, number one goal?

Then, to further change the story, I must do something that the original Tae-oh and Aira might not have done.

For example, a radical change that would twist the genre of the original novel.

There were a few that came to mind.

The only question now was whether Aira and others would follow suit.

However, the things I worked so hard on over the past year were now starting to pay off.

It was a gamble, but it was worth it.

I had a lot of chips to bet with thanks to the slush funds confiscated from Belmott\'s. Elga also just came back from the expedition. Wasn\'t this the chance to go all-in?

Good, good. Now all that was left was convincing Aira.

“Gospel.”

I returned from my thoughts upon hearing my name.

“Did you call, My Lady?”

“Hey, those guys. They were talking about you.”

Aira was currently wearing a very dark expression under her hood.

She was biting her lip so hard that blood was dripping down her chin. Why did Aira get so angry?

I turned my head and saw some men drinking in the corner.
