Chapter 5: 5
Mother, Father, and all of my brothers had been quite surprised by how much I ate at dinner .
I easily scarfed down three times as much as I usually eat!
And perhaps that’s the reason why when I get back to my room afterwards, a huge wave of tiredness washes over me .
I’ve had a long day and a huge meal and now I really just want to go to bed… . but I have to do my training regimen first .
I start with the sit-ups and to be honest…… they’re pretty intense . Having no physical strength to speak of, even just 50 would have been quite difficult to do, let alone doing twice that amount .
But there’s no way I can just give up here . Having determination and mental fortitude are both things that a villainess can’t do without .
So I continue to pant and struggle and eventually I am able to get through all 100 .
Since I had such a big meal right before this, I’m starting to not feel very good, but since I only have some push-ups left I think I should be able to finish everything that Brother told me to do .
Not wanting to waste any time, I get down into the proper push-up position and start .

Hah! Haah! Agh! …… . By the 10th one, my arms have already started to shake .
I wonder if I have particularly weak arms? Or if its because a 7-year-old’s strength is next to nothing?
By the 23rd, my posture crumbles and I fall flat onto my stomach . My arms are refusing to hold me up anymore .
But as I lay there, breathing hard and shaking, I think about my dream . This is just one of the many trials I need to overcome in order to become a splendid villainess . I have to finish this .
I pump myself up by imagining my future of villainy, and although painful and slow, I somehow manage to finish all 50 .
With that I’ve successfully completed all of my assigned sit-ups and push-ups for the day .
I never would have imagined it could be this hard! But I did it… . I finished today’s training!
After working out, I’m no longer feeling tired, so decide I to practice some back handsprings before bed . Since my body is so lightweight right now, I feel like I should be able to do them pretty easily .
I do some light stretches first and then I just go for it . I fling myself backwards, feeling my hands lightly touch down on the ground, and then in an instant I am back on my feet again… A perfect back handspring! I even stuck the landing .
Elated by my success, I look around my room . Since it’s pretty big, after a quick calculation in comparison to my height, I estimate that I should be able to do 3 consecutive back handsprings without running into anything .

At the thought, all my fatigue seems to wash away and I’m once again full of energy . I stand at the edge of the room and as I ready myself, I almost feel like I can see the gymnastics mat in front of me . It’s been such a long time since I last felt like this, and I feel great! Without hesitation I turn around, bend my knees slightly and push off the ground .
One flip, two flips… . , three flips… . ! I did it!
The last one might not have been the most beautiful back handspring I’ve ever done, but even if my form sucked I was still able to do it!
This is awesome! It seems like I’m still able to use the skills that I drilled into my body during my previous life without much effort .
Hmm, what else can I do right now to help pave my way to becoming a villainess…? Oh, that’s right! How about working on my demeanor and diction? I should start coming up with some cutting remarks! And practice saying them with a wicked expression!
……But just what kind of expression is that, exactly?
I walk over to stand in front of my mirror and try out a variety of expressions, but they all look more comical than fierce to me .
I scrunch up my eyebrows, bug out my eyes, and try to force my mouth into a frown but… . I just end up looking ridiculous .
This isn’t even close to the malicious expression that I’d been picturing in my head .
Hmm, now that I think about it, weren’t the villainesses from my games usually smiling when they were bullying someone?

That must be it! I just have to look as if I’m enjoying myself while bullying others . That means as long as I practice smiling a bunch, I’ll be fine .
Looking back at my reflection in the mirror, I slightly raise up the corners of my lips . The effect is certainly elegant but… . . I don’t really look like I’m having fun .
This time, I try smiling as hard as I can until my cheeks start to hurt .
……Is it because I’m still only 7? Cause this just makes me look really stupid .
A villainess’s expression needs to look more profound… .
I never realized that just smiling would be so hard! I wonder if I keep practicing this from now on if I’ll be able to get better at it?
But I think that’s it for me for today . I’m getting really tired . I turn towards the bed planning to go to sleep, but before I take even one step forward I realize that I had forgotten something super important .
I never practiced my cutting remarks!
That was close… . ! I almost neglected one of the most crucial aspects of being a villainess .

I turn back towards the mirror and start pondering about what a typical villainess would likely say .

“You can’t even manage this much?”
“You’re an eyesore . ”
“Do you know just how awful these lowly sweets of yours are?”
Was it stuff like this?
I just have to pay attention to the flow of the conversation and make sure to interject with some sort of malicious comment whenever the opportunity arises?
… . . That should be easy enough . I’ve been dreaming of becoming a true villainess for so long, if it’s just saying a few lines, I’ve got that much in the bag .
Satisfied, a natural smile blooms across my face .
I really might become a villainess who will go down in history!
Alright, time for bed . I had a really productive day today .
I’ll have to wake up early and continue to do my best to improve tomorrow as well!
