[The Villain's Confusion]

I left the moment of philosophical enlightenment behind as I pulled the cart.

Originally, a true villain doesn't stay in one place. Farewell, vegetable corner!

"Evelyn, where should this body's next target be? That's it! The sample corner would be good! That's where humans' desires are most nakedly revealed!"

"Your ideas are always excellent, Master."

As we approached the sample corner, a woman in a white hat was handing out small plates.

"Welcome! Try our new frozen shrimp fries!"

Without hesitation, I reached out and swept all the shrimp fries off the plate. One, two, three, four… five at once!

"Kakat! This body will monopolize all the samples! This is true evil! Not giving other customers even the slightest chance, this villainy!"

This will be on the news. Under the title 'Villain who devastated the mart's sample corner'!

But the woman's reaction was strange.

"Oh my, you eat so well! Were you hungry? Eat more. The samples are unlimited."

The woman put even more shrimp fries on the plate.

"Huh? Are you surrendering to this body? Well, it's not bad…."

This must be a reaction of terror! Giving up everything to save their lives!

Then, customers around began to gather.

"Seeing that child eating so deliciously, it must be really good!"

"Please give me one too!"

"Me too!"

In an instant, the product was sold out.

"Oh my, thanks to you, I sold all of today's stock! Thank you, cute young lady!"

"Young lady? This body is a villain! A Vil-Lain!"

[Is this a paid advertisement???]

[Professional sampler Grimoire… seems like a mukbang YouTuber is her true calling, not a villain]

[Wrong career choice lol]

"Evelyn! This is strange! Why does this body's villainy keep turning into good deeds?"

"Humans instinctively follow the strong. Master's very existence is so overwhelming… that ordinary humans unconsciously start to like her."

"Oho… indeed! If it's because of a villain's charisma, then it can't be helped!"

After that, Evelyn and I earnestly bought curry ingredients and focused on grocery shopping.

Onions, potatoes, and…

"The meat to put in the curry must be one-plus grade Korean beef sirloin! Only the finest ingredients are suitable for the palate of a great villain!"

[Korean beef sirloin in curry? Is she really rich?]

[Life should be like Grimoire… a maid like Evelyn…]

[When is she going to do villainy? Is she slowly admitting that she's not a villain?]

[Just a normal grocery shopping broadcast lol]

Oops! I got too engrossed in grocery shopping!

"Ahem, do you still not understand! You're really foolish! This body's villainy is not a simple prank, but a high-level psychological warfare that causes social chaos!"

Evelyn slightly adjusted the camera angle to make my horns more visible. As expected, my maid is a professional!

"What is villainy? Grand destruction? Large-scale chaos? No! True villainy is the immense anxiety created by the accumulation of small inconveniences in everyday life!"

Suddenly, I felt like a genius.

[Calm down… you can do villainy slowly…]

[Her face is red right now, so cute ㅠㅠ Even her horns seem to be turning red?]

[She's become a philosopher again lol]

[Contemplation on social anxiety… postmodernism of a horned girl]

"Dare you mock this body's philosophy!""

I was briefly flustered, but quickly regained my dignity.

Well, villains are always misunderstood by the public!

I looked around the supermarket to find the third place for villainy.

Something with a strong impact is needed! An evil plan that will elevate this body's reputation in an instant!

Then, what caught my eye were the products with the 'Unprecedented Discount, Big Sale!' sign.

20% off… 5,000 won off….

"Is this all that's considered a big deal? To say this is unprecedented, humans are really satisfied with simple things! Then I'll plant an even bigger illusion! I'll start the third act of villainy! The lowest price deception operation!"

I took out a small piece of paper from my pocket. It was a sticker with the number '0' printed on it that I had prepared in advance.

I attached '0' in front of the 20% sale sign to make it look like 200% off. I also attached '0' behind the 5,000 won discount sign to manipulate it to look like 50,000 won off!

"What will happen to the foolish humans when they go to the checkout? If they pick it up thinking it's cheap, but are charged an expensive price? Imagine how flustered they'll be! There will definitely be chaos at the checkout! Or they might fight with the staff for being deceived, kyakyakyat!"

I admired my work with a wicked laugh.

But wait a minute… a question popped into my head.

"How much is 200% off?"

"Grimoire, if 100% off is free, then 200% off means they give you more money."

"Ah, I see! They give you twice the original price… no, a villain shouldn't give people benefits…"

My head became complicated. Math isn't this body's weakness, but suddenly percentage calculations became difficult.

"Then, 50,000 won off? This meat is 10,000 won… so does that mean they give me 40,000 won more?"

[lololol a villain who doesn't understand economics]

[Economics are cold]

[Wow… is the level of crime real?]

[Being cute is a crime]

[Isn't everything being filmed on the mart's CCTV? Is it okay? Isn't she going to get caught like this?]

"Crime? Ha! Now you finally recognize this body as a true villain!"

My heart swelled with pride.

I quickly headed to the canned goods section for the fourth act of villainy.

Tuna, corn, peach canned goods… the shiny metal cans were perfectly aligned.

"This body's next act of villainy is even more wicked! A more meticulous and cruel plan!"

I took out a can of tuna-flavored cat food that I had secretly taken from the pet supplies section from my pocket.

And… I cleverly mixed it among the canned tuna for humans! Making sure that the product name wasn't visible as much as possible, only the picture!

"This operation is the canned goods disruption operation! Even the name of the operation feels heinous! If humans eat pet food… then human dignity will collapse!"

Isn't this a really wicked plan? I was a little surprised myself, but if you're a true villain, this level of wickedness is basic!

The chat exploded.

[This is real villainy though?!]

[No, teacher lololol]

[What if someone actually eats it…]

[A drunk middle-aged man will eat it]

[But cat food is surprisingly delicious]

[How does Daehyeong know that?]

Chats filled with fear poured out. As expected, you don't know what to do with this body's wickedness!

I headed to the health food section for the next act of villainy.

Diet foods, nutritional supplements, dietary fiber, auxiliary foods… everything looked unappetizing.

Normally, I would have ignored this section, but today is different!

"The last act of villainy is the 'sweet temptation' operation! What do you think will happen if humans with weak wills are choosing diet products and find chocolate next to them? They'll immediately succumb to temptation and give up dieting!"

I quickly grabbed chocolate and candy with both arms. Then I displayed them next to the diet supplements.

"Look! If there's milk chocolate next to low-calorie control foods, what human can resist the temptation? If there's sweet candy next to sugar-free foods? And if there's chocolate cookies next to this protein bar? How wicked is this!"

While I was concentrating on placing the snacks, something shiny caught my eye on the next display.

A gold-colored, fancy wrapper.

A gold ribbon.

A rare chocolate logo.

"That's… a limited edition premium chocolate! Dubai Edition!"

I swallowed hard. It's the rare chocolate I saw on TV commercials yesterday!

"Evelyn! There's a tool that's essential for this body's villainy! Put one box of that chocolate… no, three boxes in the cart!"

Evelyn nodded and put the chocolate in the cart.

But, the next display was full of even more delicious-looking things.

"Th-that too! Crunch chocolate is also essential for villainy! And those truffle potato chips too! Gelato candy too! We can't miss any of it!"

As if in a trance, I put snacks in the cart. I grabbed all kinds of chocolates and candies with both arms and poured them into the shopping cart.

"This is necessary. This too… and that too! This body will monopolize the sweet snacks! This is true villainy!"

[She fell for the temptation herself lololol]

[The villain's true purpose: snack shopping]

[Is this for personal consumption? lololol]

[She's just going to eat it herself lol]

[Your teeth will rot if you do that ^^]

[The demon of snacks, Grimoire]

"Th-this isn't like that! It's evidence of the operation! Evidence! I'm securing evidence of villainy!"

I worked hard on villainy today, so I can give myself a reward, right!

Then Evelyn handed me a tablet.

"Grimoire, would you like to take a look at this for a moment? The number of viewers has already exceeded 5,000."

"5,000 people!?"

So many people witnessed this body's greatness?

"That's not all. Real-time clips are being shared quickly. The hashtags #CuteVillain and #GrimoireVillain are trending."

My video clips were being shared quickly on social media.

In particular, the scene of moving tomatoes to the fruit section and hiding canned goods was very popular.

[It's ranked 5th in real-time!]

[Please continue broadcasting in the future!!]

[The cute villain concept is so good!]

[The purest collection of villainy lololol]

[Heeuk, 100,000 won if you do it once more]

[Kakat's laughter is so cute. Please do it more!]

I felt my horns getting hot. Something was strange, but popularity is popularity!

"This body's subordinates are increasing! The day of world domination is not far off!"

"It seems Master's villainy has been a great success."

"Kakat! Of course! This body is the greatest villain in history!"

A smile lingered on her lips too. Evelyn seems happy about this body's success!

[Grimoire, what kind of villainy are you going to do next?]

[Please do a broadcast of you cooking with your maid!]

[A really cute villain… I wouldn't mind being dominated by a villain like this]

"Evelyn, is all the grocery shopping done?"

"Yes, Master. Dinner and snacks are all ready."

In the cart were meat, potatoes, onions, curry powder… and a mountain of chocolate and snacks.

I swallowed hard at the thought of eating it all.

"Good! Then let's finish this body's villainy and go back! If I continue to do villainy any longer, the world won't be able to handle it!"

When I get home, Evelyn will make delicious curry rice!

That's when it happened.

"Excuse me, customer?"

"Heeuk!"

Surprised by someone's voice, I turned around.

As I slowly turned around, a burly man in a black suit was approaching.

He was wearing a mart employee badge, but he was different from ordinary employees.

"We've been watching all your actions on CCTV."

I, I've been caught!?

What should I do? Should I run away? But I haven't paid yet… then, I can't eat the Dubai chocolate.

[She got caught lol gg]

[Grimoire VS Mart Employee, who wins?]

[The mart employee looks like a gangster]

[The way she's shrinking is so cute ㅠㅠ]

[It'll be legendary if she gets arrested from the first broadcast lol]
