Although I Was Reincarnated As The Villainess Of The Otome Game I Was Playing, I Only Bought It For

Now then, I quickly escaped from the boring adult’s talk and went to a place with other kids around.

… I’d prefer not to meet up with a Capture Target during their childhood in that weird, game-like sense… but when it comes to an otome game, you’d best get involved with another girl!

Well, I don’t have that kind of preference, but things are as they are, as they are.

In the future, I’ll have to aim to build up a force where I can win even if the whole world turns into my enemy. However, I have no intention of killing for nothing.

Will it be worthwhile?

“… Well, it depends on the benefits, but I’m sure it will be,” I said.

“What are you talking about?”

… Oh dear, it looks like my brainstorming has leaked out.

“Don’t worry about it,” I said, “I was just thinking a little.”

“Oh, weren’t you the one who won against the Golden Lord earlier?!” the other girl said.

I want to be pampered and praised but if I stand out too much, I feel it’s going to be more trouble than it’s worth.

“Shhh, I am,” I said.

“Ye-, I-I see!” she said.

Well, let’s make this person a friend right now.

At a glance she had a gaudy hair color, no, it’s gaudy even if you look at it through this world’s standards than my previous one’s.

Long, emerald green hair. Yep, I saw it for the first time.

It’s a seriously gaudy shade of green.

“Well then, is there a problem?” I asked.

“No, it’s just that… your hair is so beautiful, isn’t it?” she asked.

Why are you talking about me?! No, you have beautiful hair! It’s silky, it’s so smooth you can see it just by looking at it!

And me? For some reason, I’ve got a strong preference towards vertical rolls, it’s a young noblewoman’s hair.

Even if it gets soaked, it’s got shape memory to the extent that it curls back up when it dries.

It’s fair to say that it’s the standard style.

… Straight hair is good.

“Oh, I forgot to introduce myself!” I said. “I am Lillie Rivale! I am from House Rivale, the Duke Family!

“Th-The Duke Family?! How are you so strong on top of that…?!”

“Woah…?!”

Wh-What is with this girl, sh-she just closed the distance in an instant and started holding my hands firmly!

… What is this pressure? She’s the same height as me, she’s also a little girl…!

I, I can’t move…! Why can’t I move?!

“My name is Karin, Karin Smalact, it’s a pleasure to meet you, Lady Rivale…!” Karin cried.

… I, I need an out from this conversation, where…?!

“… I, I see,” I said. “Y-You can just call me Lillie, alright?”

“Y-You’ll let me call you by your first name?!”

… This girl, is so much trouble!

No, this is what happens when you let someone call you on a first-name basis!

“N-No, we don’t have to do that,” I said.

“Then I have something to ask of you if you don’t mind?” Karin said.

“Can you please step back for a moment?” I asked.

Yes, her face is close, so much so that I can smell her breath. It smelled very sweet as it was, what is with this? I’ve never felt this way even in my previous life!?

“I-I’m sorry, Lady Lillie!” Karin said.

I’m sorry to have told her to step back, but is she that kind of person? No, I’m not prejudiced, but I just thought it was a rare thing for this kind of world.

Well, if you don’t delve into a person’s preferences and hobbies, and if you don’t push them around, you can leave them alone.

“So then, what do you want to ask?” I said.

For the moment, let’s give a quick explanation and then leave. Yeah, that’s the best way to go about this.

“How did you fight so well?”

… I can’t say it was because I was a gamer in my previous life.

However, the fact that I haven’t been trained requires some sort of justification…

“Because I’m trying to get something,” I said.

“What are you trying to get?” Krain asked.

Now then, let’s say something that will convince her outright.

“What am I trying to get…? It’s power and cunning, and with those, I’ll win.”

Yep, I’ve always wanted to say that, it’s fun.

“Can I become stronger with those, too?” Karin.

“Well, you could be,” I said.

Well, it does make a person stronger, so that’s not wrong, but it leads to the belief of winning at all costs, regardless of the consequences.

“But ultimately, as a way to become stronger, we’ll have to find another way.”

Well, as a result, I’ll lose, because I’ll be in the position of the Villainess, I’m doomed if I don’t act for the winning side.

“I’m looking for victory in another way,” I said.

Well, I’m actually looking out for a problem so I’m not lying.

“There’s someone my age who thinks that far and is at this level.”

On that day, the White Lily showed me the way.

Yes, my path in life is to be as strong as her!

In that case, I, Karin, will do everything I can to become a woman who can follow her!
