I’ll Become a Villainess That Will Go Down in History

I glanced over at the lion. He laid there, limp and exhausted.

The only first aid for the stab wound was a bandage wrapped around it.

“I’ll take the pain away.”

It’s just me and the lion in this hut, so I should be able to use magic for a moment.

I snap my fingers.

The wound on the lion’s leg became covered with a thin layer of black aura. The moment his wound started healing, the color of his fur began to darken.

“What is this…”

Since when did I become capable of doing tricks like a hairdresser?

I wonder if it’s because my magic power is seeping into his body and purifying the drugs.

Before I knew it, a fierce black lion stood proudly in front of me. His golden eyes glittered. I couldn’t help but admire its appearance.

How cool is this! This is the kind of animal I’d like to have next to a bad girl. I look at him with excited eyes.

“Your name… is Rai.”

I reach out and stroke his fur gently.

The lion slowly bowed his head, as if agreeing with my words.

…Well, it’s not like you’re actually a human, is it?

This is the world of an otome game, and the lion is clever. …Maybe it was a gift from the gods to me, a villainess who had been working hard lately.

“It’s a good thing I told the king I wouldn’t let you die, but I had no idea you’d turn black.”

Rai understood what I was saying and returned to his original form with a poof. An ordinary lion with ochre-colored hair.

What a strange coincidence. It seemed to understand what I was saying.

“Which one is the real form?”

Rai turned back into a black-haired lion when I asked….That’s the real one, I guess.

So a bit of magic could make you look like that. Dark magic worked really well!

I’ve always dreamed of riding a lion around the savanna.

“This is hardly the opponent I was fighting a moment ago, right?”

It was strange that just a short time ago, we were attempting to take each other’s lives and now we were trapped together in this cramped hut.

I wonder if any of the other villainess in this world have ever gotten along with a lion. …Maybe a lot of them.

I suppose I wasn’t close to being one yet. I should not get carried away just because I was expelled from the country.

I need to aim higher!
