Page 32 of The Villainess Chose Naps Over Death Flags

"It's the BEST strategy. Look—" Carol pointed at the survival branch. "Death Flag Radar, Villain Dodge, Professional Apologizing. These are specifically designed to keep me alive. And I get to nap."

"You could get those things by becoming a powerful sorceress too," Lumi argued. "And then you'd also have the power to defend yourself!"

"But would I have Guilt-Free Spending?" Carol countered. "Or Dessert Radar?"

"Those aren't real survival skills!"

"They are for me."

Missy was watching this argument with obvious delight. "I can't believe you're actually going to pick the lazy option. This is amazing. You're terrible at being a villainess but you're GREAT at being useless."

"I prefer 'strategically efficient,'" Carol said. She turned to the interface. "I choose Lazy Lady."

The screen flashed red.

WARNING!

Are you SURE you want to select LAZY LADY?

This path severely underutilizes your rare magical potential!

Your dual affinity is ONE IN TEN THOUSAND!

Selecting this path will:

● Waste your natural talents

● Disappoint magic scholars everywhere

● Make your academy instructors cry

● Cause the system administrator personal distress

Are you ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN?

[YES] [NO]

Carol clicked YES.

The screen flashed red again, more urgently this time.

FINAL WARNING!!!

You have a LEGENDARY DUAL AFFINITY!

You could become one of the MOST POWERFUL MAGES in the kingdom!

Think of the possibilities:

● Defeating The Blight single-handedly!

● Commanding respect and fear!

● Mastering the arcane arts!

● Making your husband proud!

Instead, you want to... take naps?
