Ah, a guard saluted Calcilast-sama. But he doesn’t seem to have noticed.
It seems the soldier intends to maintain his posture until Calcilast-sama is no longer in sight.
There are many serious people in this country…No, perhaps in this world.
I wonder why people who stand at the top excel. For example, the king.
I hope these happy days continue from now on. Ah, I wished for it.
Even though shooting stars aren’t falling. Or rather, I wonder if I saw something like a shooting star.
Wish three times before a shooting star disappears… That might be how the saying goes, but it’s a little impossible.
It takes the blink of an eye, so isn’t it fine to wish just once.
Woof. Woof. Yup? Am I hearing things or is there a dog barking.
Doggies are devoted animals I liked back in Japan.

Ah, it must be a mame shiba. How cute. But I can’t get over golden retrievers.
I heard Calcilast-sama’s voice. It feels joyous.
“Ooh, it’s a doggy. Moreover, it’s a mame shiba! It’s my favorite breed!”
Hee, Calcilast-sama also likes mame shibas, what a coincidence. Well, they are cute.
Oh, it’s running around vigorously. It’s a proof it’s still young. A doggy with light brown fur. It’s wagging its tail.
But, Calcilast-sama is fluffier than the doggy. I’m envious…
Calcilast-sama said “From today you are Mame-chan! I’m naming you!”
No, no, you can’t name someone’s dog.
Mame-chan licked Calcilast-sama’s enviously beautiful face.
An appearance of a ri, rival? It’s a pinch. I wonder if Calcilast will completely forget about me with this?
Villainess’s Sweet Everyday 85
Ah, I’m uneasy. So very uneasy…
I calmed my wavering heart and moved to Calcilast-sama’s side.
Mame-chan is flirting with Calcilast-sama. They’re intimate, aren’t they.
When Calcilast-sama stroked the doggy’s head, it barked woof in ecstasy. I wonder if it demanded more with it?
Calcilast-sama lifted Mame-chan and showed it to me.
“It’s quite a wonderful doggy. Please pat it”
When I gently held out my hand, the doggy sniffled it and twitched.
Ara, I wonder if it smells. I wash my hands well, but…
I called out to it “Mame-chan” while stroking it.
That child barked woof woof with narrowed eyes.
Villainess’s Sweet Everyday 86
Isn’t it a good child. We’re getting along well. I said to it “Mame-chan, let’s get along, okay?”
Calcilast-sama made a serious face and asked. There’s also some concern in his expression.
“Is it a stray dog? Or is it lost?”
Going by its collar and the price of mame shibas, I replied.
“I think it simply ran away. You wouldn’t normally abandon a mame shiba…”
Calcilast-sama looked like he made a decision. Then he spoke to a soldier who happened to pass by.
“You, might you know of anyone who keeps a mame shiba around here?”
The soldier spoke formally. Of course, with a salute.
“I do not know, but I will go ask other soldiers!”
And soldiers quickly sprang into action. A number of armed soldiers began visiting all houses in the vicinity.
Villainess’s Sweet Everyday 87
It grew into a minor uproar. A prince’s influence is amazing.
I stole a glance at the soldiers in clattering armor while playing with Mame-chan.
“Paw” I said. Mame-chan lifted its paw with a woof. “Sit” I said. Mame-chan quickly sat.
I stroked its head with “Good kid, good kid”
Calcilast-sama tried to teach it to jump.
However, Mame-chan seems to be unable to understand jumping.
It’s staring blankly at Calcilast-sama. As if it wants to ask what he means.
I bought dog treats from a nearby convenience store. I was lost with how unexpectedly many types were there.
I’ll teach the doggy to go round and round with the cheese snacks.
After he turns thrice, I gift it the cheese snacks. And like that, it learned how to go round and round.
Villainess’s Sweet Everyday 88
Calcilast-sama put dog food on a paper plate and handed it to the doggy.
At first, Mame-chan sniffed it, next it munched on it. I wonder if it was hungry.
It’s eating well. Ah, it wants seconds. It has a talent for eating heartily.
After finishing eating, Mame-chan lied down. Now, now, you’ll become a cow.
Is it okay for a dog? Calcilast-sama stroked its head.
It liked it greatly. Well, certainly it’s an intelligent child.
Soldiers came to report to Calcilast-sama every twenty minutes. They’re serious.
Diligence is a virtue. It’s a wonderful attitude.
Mame-chan is sound asleep. Ah, it opened its eyes.
It looks like it wasn’t able to sleep well. I wonder if it became alarmed. I’m sorry if that’s the case…
Villainess’s Sweet Everyday 89
After a while Mame-chan became lively and started running around with Calcilast-sama.
It’s a contest. Seems fun. Good luck.
Ah, Calcilast-sama stumbled with whoops.
Taking the chance, Mame-chan bit Calcilast-sama’s trouser cuffs.
Calcilast-sama raised his hands in surrender. Ah, Mame-chan is rubbing against him like a cat.
The prince is also happy, and while holding it in his arms, cuddled it.
Calcilast-sama asked me. With a laugh.
“Was Marikana like this when young?”
I’m shocked I’d be compared to a doggy, but I returned.
“I believe I was more refined!”
Villainess’s Sweet Everyday 90
“Where’s the difference? What’s dissimilar?” Calcilast-sama said.
I quickly said “Unlike Mame-chan, I won’t lick a gentleman’s face in public!”
Calcilast-sama laughed loudly “Ahaha” and apologized.
“Marikana, sorry. My tension has risen. But, such a Marika is…”
I was listening carefully, but I couldn’t catch his words. Even though I was listening quietly.
Did he not say them? I tilted my head questioningly.
“I am? I didn’t hear you?”
Then Calcilast-sama said “The cake we ate before was delicious…”
I said “Are you trying to change the subject?”
Calcilast-sama returned “Yeah, I’m embarrassed…”
Villainess’s Sweet Everyday 91
I wonder if it means he’s conscious of me? I’d be delighted if he was.
But if that’s the case, I want him to put it into words. That would make me more confident…
Or maybe I don’t want him to say it. Why is that? A black veil covered my heart.
It’s like black clouds hiding my blue sky. My mental state is overcast.
Afterwards, it’s only a matter of time before the downpour of tears of sadness will begin…
I’m gloomy… Trivial things unsettle me…
It cannot be helped, but… it’s pathetic…
I wonder if it’ll change when I grow more and become an adult. My mind steeling itself…
I want to think so, but it’s not easy or simple…
It’s sad, but that’s the reality. I’d like to be a splendid adult, but…
Villainess’s Sweet Everyday 92
It’s a difficult challenge for me… For example, like climbing a tall, tall mountain.
After freeing itself from Calcilast-sama and looking around, the doggy saw me, walked up to me and tackled me.
I wonder if it meant cheer up…
Mame-chan rubbed me with its head with a smile(?). My feet tickle.
I gave it a talking “Mame-chan, stop!”
I wonder if it was just an illusion that it delightedly moved it ears like it was praised.
I crouched and hugged that child.
Does it smell of shampoo? A somehow nice fragrance stimulated my nose.
That child is being treated with great care. Rather than being scared of people, it’s extremely cheerful.
If it was a stray dog it wouldn’t be like this. I’m sure it would be fearful of humans…
Villainess’s Sweet Everyday 93
Mame-chan rummaged in my arms. What a tomboy.
Mame-chan raised its muzzle and gazed and me. Then woofed gladly.
It’s a child you cannot hate no matter what. It has a disposition of a natural airhead.
I raised Mame-chan high, then lowered it. With that, it woofed in wild joy!
Calcilast-sama listened to a soldier with his handsome face twisted in grimace.
I wonder if they haven’t found the owner yet? They’re talking quite a lot. I wonder if there’s some information?
I’m worried. I might have to part with Mame-chan soon…
Mame-chan, thank you for meeting me. Thank you for getting along with me.
After saluting at Calcilast-sama, the soldier ran off in a hurry.
Calcilast-sama walked up to me and said. He looks both sad and happy.
Villainess’s Sweet Everyday 94
“The owner was found. He lives rather close by. He seems to have been searching for it.”
An old man dressed in a chic robe was led by the soldier. His beard is long enough to scrape the ground.
Mame-chan took one glance at that person and leaped out of my arms.
Then, with an energetic dash, returned to its master.
A man and a small dog strongly hugged each other.
He repeatedly thanked me Master Marikanasu-san before leaving.
While leaving, Mame-chan looked back only once and woofed.
I wonder if it said thank you? Or was it bye bye?
Calcilast-sama nearby has tears in the corners of his eyes.
They got along so well… It can’t be helped.
I’m pleased Mame-chan will lead a happy life.
Villainess’s Sweet Everyday 95
Mame-chan, good luck! Fighto!
Separation is a lonely thing. It leaves its trace… It’s painful.
I want to have a dog a little. But, there’s a possibility of raising a violent doggy…
I wish Mame-chan would be a part of my family…
But I definitely can’t say that after seeing how happy it was.
It will be left in my memories as a pleasant incident.
I glanced at Calcilast-sama and tried asking him.
“Do you feel lonely? It’s a goodbye…”
Calcilast-sama forced an unreasonable smile and said. He’s smiling while crying.
“It, it’s lonely… But the next pet I raise will be named Mame-chan!”
Villainess’s Sweet Everyday 96
I gazed at the glittering pale blue eyes and slipped out a giggle.
Calcilast-sama said “Marikana, dirt is stuck to your hand”
I reflexively looked at my right hand. Certainly, it is. Although only a little.
I wonder if it was when I played with Mame-chan or pigeons? Although I’m a young lady… I’m no good.
Calcilast-sama coughed and suggested.
“I happen to have wet tissues. What a coincidence”
Calcilast-sama gently wiped my held-out hand.
Ara, it smells like roses a little. I wonder if it’s their fragrance?
Calcilast-sama said “Let’s join hands a little”
I was shaken by its abruptness, still I held out my hand.
