This Three-Year-Old Is A Villainess - Chapter 81
“Huh…?”
“Come wif me!”
I grabbed Balzac’s hand and ran off.
Though Balzac was confused, stammering and following, we reached the library.
I climbed a ladder to reach a high-placed book.
It was definitely meant for adults as the steps were quite wide, but even a child like me could climb it.
While climbing, Balzac shouted from below.
“What are you trying to do? I’ve already looked through all the animal-related books.”
“Not animaw.”
“What?”
“There are. In the castle. Many things.”
“Dogs? Oh, you mean the Needle Dog at the 2nd gate? Stupid. Needle Dogs aren’t animals, they’re mons… Huh?”
Balzac stopped talking as he realized something himself.
I reached on my tiptoes at the end of the ladder.
‘The Monster Encyclopedia is right there… ugh.’
Why are my arms so short?
Just as I grabbed the Monster Encyclopedia.
Wobble.
The ladder tipped over backward.
‘Aaah!’

Balzac moved quickly.
He leapt forward, closing the distance in an instant, catching the falling Erylotte.
Erylotte, clearly startled, had eyes as wide as lanterns.
‘She’ll cry now, right?’
How annoying.
If she starts wailing, it’s going to cause a commotion.
But instead of crying, Erylotte with her wide eyes suddenly shouted.
“Fast─!”
“What?”
“Balzac, so fast. Amashing!”
“……”
What’s with her?
Not crying.
Instead of crying, Erylotte seemed excited.
“Fwom thewe to hewe, whoosh! So─ fast, amashing!”
“……I’m naturally fast, okay? But what’s that in your hand?”
“Lots of monstows hewe. A whowe wot.”
“……”
For such a small thing, she could’ve just asked me to get it down, why did she have to climb up herself.
Balzac coughed loudly.
“Well, show me then.”
Both of them sat side by side at the library’s table and opened the book.
Hellhounds, deep-sea crocodiles, Needle Dogs…
As they flipped through the book, both children exclaimed “Ah!” at the same time.
Rare Monster
A beast-shaped monster that inhabits snowfields. Resembles a horse.
It becomes an adult after eight years, and at that time, scales grow on its body to withstand the cold.
During this period, it cannot tolerate heat, so when subduing, use fire…
“Snowfield Horse! KingGodUltraGenerationWildHorseRunningAcrossThePlains is a Snowfield Horse all this time!”
The illustrations showed that Genera’s current condition matched the beginning of adulthood.
Erylotte pointed to a specific sentence in the description.
“Hewe!”
“Huh, [‘During that time, it cannot withstand the heat, so…’] Ah, the heat!”
Indeed, ever since spring started, its condition had been deteriorating.
It could hardly move during the day.
At least at cold nights, it showed some signs of pain.
Both children looked at each other with wide eyes.
“Maybe this could save KingGodUltraGenerationWildHorseRunningAcrossThePlains?”
“Ywes!”
Both children nodded at each other with a determined look.
And so, the grand operation to treat KingGodUltraGenerationWildHorseRunningAcrossThePlains began.
“Ice needed. Wo—ts.”
“Bring the ice. A lo—t of it.”
Each of them collected ice from the ice storage, food storage, and other places.
Then, carrying a bucket each, they headed to the secluded stable.
Balzac, carrying a large bucket, and Erylotte, with a smaller one, ran side by side.
From a distance, they looked like matryoshka dolls, identical in appearance.
In the secluded stable, there was only the King God Ultra Generation Wild Horse running through the grasslands.
The two children poured the ice they brought onto the horse.
“Not enough?”
“Yeah!”
“Let’s bring more.”
The ice storage keeper was perplexed.
With spring coming and the weather warming up soon, a massive amount of ice had already been taken.
Crossing his arms in an X shape, the keeper shook his head.
“There’s no more. Completely out.”
Despite their determined speech,
“If I find more and you don’t bring it out, you’ll get a lashing for every piece.”
Balzac’s menacing gaze and,
“Pweeeease.”
Erylotte’s sparkling eyes were irresistible.
“Uuugh…”
Eventually, the children managed to take all the remaining ice.
Thanks to their efforts in depleting the storage to bring the ice, KingGodUltraGenerationWildHorseRunningAcrossThePlains gradually regained its strength.
“Wow─!”
“Woah!”
Both children raised their arms and cheered.
***
At around the same time,
Daymond was furrowing his brow with a serious expression.
His adjutants swallowed hard.
If his mood was this sour, something serious must have happened.
Enzo asked with a stern face.
“What’s the matter, sir?”
Was it a battle with another jurisdiction?
Was someone finally going to revolt against the Duke?
As everyone wore tense faces, Daymond slowly opened his mouth.
“Erylotte won’t play with me.”
