Chapter 6 The Villainess Builds a Department Store Water rose from the fountain and scattered through the air like mist carried by the wind. The man stared blankly up at the sky, not even caring that his thick, curly hair was getting wet. Water splashed from the fountain, leaving dark, round spots all over his shabby clothes. With his messy hair and equally unkempt beard, the man would have looked exactly like a beggar if he had simply put a chipped bowl in front of him. But I knew…-

Chapter 5 The Villainess Builds a Department Store “Of course, he will grow up to be the respected Viscount Charmoize.” “Can someone who has never received a single warm touch or loving hug in childhood really become respected by everyone?” For a moment, Madame Severin was left speechless. While she hesitated, I drove the point home in a mocking tone. “Yes, perhaps Antoine raised under your discipline will become an excellent viscount someday. He’ll be clever, cold, and able…

Chapter 3 The Villainess Builds a Department Store “Antoine!” I called my brother's name as I flung open the door. The loud noise seemed to startle him, and his crying abruptly stopped. Over the railing of the crib, I met a pair of purple eyes that looked just like mine. His tear-dampened eyes grew wide at the sudden appearance of his older sister. Then, as if he finally recognized me, his lips began to tremble and he started crying again. “S-Sis...?” His words were…

Chapter 2 The Villainess Builds a Department Store So, to summarize the situation I was in: I had been working as a department store sales clerk when I was hit by a car on my way home from work and possessed the body of the villainess from a book I had been reading. And without even realizing it, I had managed to change the original story to some extent. Even though I died without knowing that.

Chapter 1 The Villainess Builds a Department Store One day in December, when the bitter cold was at its worst. People stood in a long line along the walls of a magnificent building, staring only at the hands of the clock. 8:59:10. Thirty seconds. Fifty-five seconds. Ding! At the sound of the bell, the uniformed doorman threw open the glass doors. “Move!” “I got here first!” “Please, stop pushing!” The people rushed into the building as if someone were…

Chapter 6 Even so, not a single sound escaped his lips. Only his roughly tied red hair shook messily. He knew there were people somewhere who dreamed of things like that.

Chapter 5 Rosien gently wiped the water from the tops of Prim’s feet and dried them with his hand like a fan. Then, following Prim’s gaze, he looked at the bouquet and suddenly shouted, “Hey! Prim! Look at your hands, too.” “Ah, these are fine.” “They’re not fine at all!” Rosien stared at Prim’s hands, which were covered in little scratches from rose thorns.

Chapter 4 She really was happy to hear that. But considering how many times she had heard those words from various gods, probably hundreds of times in total, they were no longer enough to move her deeply. The bouquet stirred as if it were wriggling. Prim stared at it quietly before adding, “I am happy, but I’m worried that you might start talking like you did earlier and then get cut off halfway through.” — You care more about the oracle than you care about me! “Varin is…

Chapter 3 After that day, Prim was cursed so that thorns would sprout wherever her feet touched the ground and pierce her. Whenever the sole of her foot touched anything, thorns would grow from it and wound her, no matter what it was. Because of this, Prim could not even wear shoes. At midnight, her wounds healed as if they had never existed, but because of that, she never developed even a single callus. The thorns always inflicted the pain of piercing soft, fresh skin. And because Prim…
