Memoirs of Your Local Small-time Villainess

Chapter 443 - Future wagers

Scarlett studied The Other’s face closely as he offered Yamina a proposal similar to the one he had once offered her.It was always these wagers with him.

Her attention returned to the younger Yamina.

“Baroness, can you still hear us?” a voice broke in, nearly pulling Scarlett out of the quiet she had sunk into alongside the younger Yamina.

Scarlett looked between The Other and the girl across from him.

“I can,” she said. “Though earlier, I was not talking to you.”

A few seconds passed before the older Yamina responded. “I see. Then there is something I need to tell you before this continues.”

“And what is that?”

“Tails.”

“…Tails?”

Scarlett frowned. What was that supposed to mean?

“That should be enough,” Yamina continued. “Now, don’t let me distract you further. Oh, and I do apologise for my younger self’s theatrics. I was always told that I matured rather late.”

“Wait—” Scarlett began, but before she could finish, movement beside her drew her back into the scene.

Stolen novel; please report.

“It will land on tails,” Scarlett declared.

Scarlett held The Other’s gaze, her own frown deepening.

“You are very lucky, Yamina,” she said.

“I’m well aware,” came the older Yamina’s voice.

“Was it worth it?”

“I would argue that it was.”

“Hmm.” Scarlett glanced back towards the girl sitting across from the man, taking in the spellbook on the table and the coin resting between them. “How long until your younger self leaves? I want to speak with The Other regarding that book of yours.”
