Villainess Level 99 episode 8 recap

Episode 8 of the Villainess Level 99 anime, titled The Hidden Boss Meets a Dragon, started off with Patrick Ashbatten attempting to invite Yumiella Dolkness to the margrave's domain before the spring recess. That said, the latter responded rather coldly to the former's attempts and declared that she already had plans for the vacation.
It was then revealed that Yumiella was actually traveling to a mountain during spring break, which was one of her classmates' hometown. Apparently, the classmate had approached Yumiella and requested that she defeat the Dragon that had invaded her hometown.
That said, taking care of the dreaded Dragon proved to be no big task for Yumiella, who was already aware of the existence of a second Dragon. After disposing off the second Dragon as well, Yumiella came across an egg that was left behind by the beast.

As such, she decided to take custody of the egg and also received permission from the King and the Principal of the Academy to raise the Dragon that hatches out of it.
Although Yumiella initially viewed the Dragon as a free mode of transport for her, she eventually grew closer to it after spending a considerable amount of time together. When the Dragon was born, pretty much everyone was terrified of its appearance, with Yumiella being the only exception. To her, the Dragon was her 'child' and even viewed it as the cutest thing in the world.

Surprisingly, the baby Dragon grew into a full-fledged Dragon overnight, which caused even more problems for the people around it. As such, Yumiella decided to try and ride the Dragon in the sky, which ended up going south pretty soon. As Yumiella came crashing down to the ground, Patrick rushed to help her and scolded her for being careless.
Afterwards, Yumiella could be seen heading into the town for the first time. Considering that her Dragon was growing exceedingly bigger with each passing day, she needed to buy a lot of things from the market to be able to take care of it.
On her way, however, she was stopped by a spy from the Kingdom of Remlest, who wanted to have a conversation with her. With this, the episode came to an end, generating a considerable amount of hype for the continuation of this scene in Villainess Level 99 episode 9.
What to expect from Villainess Level 99 episode 9?
Yumiella and Patrick's relationship has been one of the main highlights of the past couple of episodes, as the latter has been constantly and subtly trying to get closer to the former. However, each time, Yumiella inadvertently shut him down without realizing the impact of her behavior on Patrick's feelings.
As such, fans can expect to see their sophisticated relationship take an unexpected turn in Villainess Level 99 episode 9, as Patrick may be getting closer to fully confessing his feelings to Yumiella.
