I Will Quit the Entourage of the Villainess 50

39

The students in their work clothes did not…rush towards the bamboo grove .

They walked elegantly .

Some that were among the commoner special cla.s.s began to jog lightly, but the n.o.bles all moved slowly and chatted with one another .

And I too walked in that crowd of people, like a hero of old, and bravely entered the grove . My beloved, trusty hoe in hand…

His Highness and Remias were also searching through the grove with their feet with much familiarity .

The bamboo shoots were buried underground, and so they would kick through the dirt with their feet and search for anything hard in the ground .

George had dashed to the grove as soon as the start had been signaled, and now he was swinging his hoe with the ferocity of a G.o.d .

Even as he was digging out a bamboo shoot, his eyes would wander for the next one, and his feet would be searching the ground .

George had transformed into a bamboo shoot digging machine .

There was no one who could stop him now…!

And he was laughing on top of it all .

“Hahahaha! Do not think that you can hide from me! d.a.m.n bamboo shoots! Haa haahahaha!”

Horrifying .

Recently, it has almost seemed as if George had been possessed by the spirit of a wild boar .

I too moved to a place that looked like a good spot for bamboo roots to grow and continued to dig .

“Hoist, hoist, hoissst!”

Yes, things were going well today .

And someone else was also doing well .

“Ohhhh Hohohoho! Hoho! Hoho!”

Remy laughed aloud as she dug up the bamboo shoots .

However, she was clearly not accustomed to it, and she was either almost scratching the bamboo shoots or had trouble pulling them out .

The other young ladies seemed much the same .

Digging up bamboo shoots took up a lot of energy, so it would be hard for them .

And there were times when the roots got in the way of the hoe .

Seeing this, I approached Remy and decided to give her some tips .

“Lady Remy, the bamboo shoot seems to be curving this way, so you should dig from the opposite side . And once you have dug a certain amount…”

She pushes the hoe in and pulls out the bamboo shoot by its roots .

“How wonderful! So that is how you do it!”

“Yes, yes exactly . ”

Remy was quite athletic and learned the trick in no time .

The other traffic light girls began to copy her .

Marietta…hmm . Perhaps it was because of her exercising and diet, but her handling of the hoe was very impressive .

Just a slight adjustment and she would be able to do it much faster .

“Cosette, thank you . I will give you this bamboo shoot . ”

“No, no . You must keep this one . It is not easy finding bamboo shoots when you lack experience . ”

“Cosette…”

Remy’s eyes became full of tears .

There was really no reason to be so moved by it .

What an adorable little dear .

Angie was…

His Highness the Prince was teaching her .

“Ahh! Oh, it is so heavy! I cannot carry it!’

“But you cannot dig bamboo shoots without using the hoe . You must try . ”

“But, but I am ever so weak…”

Yes . There was something annoying about watching that, so I decided to ignore them .

His Highness would do something about it .

I would just concentrate on digging up bamboo shoots .

As I ignored everything else, a certain voice called out to me .

“Cosette, you are quite good with the hoe . It would seem that you are accustomed to it . ”

Of course, I was . I’ve been using this hoe every single day since I started to grow these bamboo shoots .

I would appreciate it, if you didn’t lump me in with these other amateurs .

“Ohoho . It is an honor to be bestowed with such praise . ”

Having my pride as a digger of bamboo shoots tickled, I looked around proudly to see master Alfred .

He was carrying a tremendous amount of bamboo shoots on his shoulders .

And the servant behind him was also carrying a mountain of them .

This guy…was amazing!

“Ah…master Alfred, you have also dug up so many… Have you done this before?”

“Not at all, it is my first time . But it was easy once I learned how to do it . ”

Master Alfred snorted and laughed in an insolent way .

It made my blood boil .

My fighting spirit had been ignited .

“Is that so…then you are a mere amateur . Don’t take the art of digging bamboo shoots too lightly, you will only regret it . …Sisie!”

“What!”

“What!”

Sisie appeared from behind some bamboo trees .

She had dug up so many bamboo shoots, that she needed a wheelbarrow to carry them .

I moved my arms exaggeratedly in front of the pile of bamboo shoots, then put one hand on my hip and the other to my lips .

And took in a deep breath .

“Ohh hohoho! How on earth can you be so self-important when that is all you have dug up! Did you think that you could beat me?! No! No indeed! No one will ever beat me! Ohh hohohoho!”

I laughed haughtily and as high as I could .

Master Alfred looked very angry at first, but then he suddenly laughed .

“Hmph… You girl, should not underestimate me either . You may be a little accustomed to this, but you are still just a rich girl . As someone who was once in the military, it is you who will live to regret the day that you made me go all out . ”

I glared back at him as he said these words .

He was a small fry who hadn’t even lived half of all of my lives combined! The disrespect!

“Very well . I accept the challenge! Do your worst!”

“Hmph! Don’t come crying to me when you lose!”

We quickly turned away from each other . And then I began to dash towards the bamboo shoots…and stopped .

Kick kick kick .

There was no point in running . The bamboo shoots were right at my feet .

Kick kick kick…
