A Virgin Civil Servant Is Reincarnated as a Trashy Character in a Otome Game, but Because He Doesn’t Make a Move Despite Being in an Otome Game, the Girls Treat Him Like a High-Class Catch and Aggressively Pursue Him
“Elliott sama, it’s time to go to school.”
Mary comes to call me just as I’m about to go back to sleep in the bed that’s bigger than my room. She is wearing a school uniform. This uniform is from the school that the heroine attend.
Did Elliott attend the same school as the heroine? I didn’t ask the name, so I assumed he went to a different school.
He went to the same school, but does the fact that he doesn’t appear in the story mean that nothing will happen if I don’t get involved?
“Elliott sama, I’m leaving as usual.”
Mary said this and tried to leave my room as if it were natural. Wait, wait.
“Aren’t you coming with me?”
“Eh, eh! With me?”
She opened her round eyes wide and took a small step back. I see. It’s like acting together with your boss. I didn’t like it either. Remembering that, I immediately withdrew my offer. This is power harassment.
“I’m sorry. You didn’t like it, did you?”
“I’m sorry. It’s not that I don’t want to. It’s just that if I’m by your side, it might affect your reputation, Elliott-sama.”
With that, she declined. She really does have a strong sense of her status. The heroine is supposed to be bullied by those around her because she is a commoner. However, there is no such culture in Japan, where I lived, and the main reason is that I am a man.
“Are you worried that having such a cute girl by my side will make people resent me?”
What is this?! If my original self had said that, it would have been posted on Instagram and become a laughing stock. But now I am Elliott. There is no reason to hesitate.
“Kya!?… That’s not what I meant at all.”
“Then it’s fine. I want to go with Mary.”
She reluctantly nodded at my words. Being able to go to school with a cute girl, I’ve already surpassed half of the happiness of my virgin past life. In the first place, why didn’t Elliott go to school with his maid, who was the same age? But I can’t do anything so bold anymore. I’ll just spend my time quietly. A quiet school life with Mary…
Then I remembered something important. I don’t even know where the school is. I have to go with Mary. While I was looking for something that looked like a school bag, Mary rushed out of my room.
“Can you wait there for a moment? I’ll be right back.”
I put on the backpack I was familiar with from otome game and waited for Mary to return, and then she opened the door to my room with a bang.
“…I-I’m sorry for keeping you waiting.”
She had tied her short hair back and was wearing a cute hairpin. She said nothing, but went behind me and waited for me to go first. She was gripping the hem of her skirt tightly.
Was she nervous? Well, it was her first day with her boss, after all. Was there anything I could do to ease her tension? I tried to come up with something nice to say about her, but nothing came to mind, so I just blurted out what I was thinking.
“Um, well, that’s cute.”
“Hehe, thank you.”
She laughed softly. She must have been wondering why I wasn’t moving forward. Oh no. I just stared at Mary and couldn’t say anything.
(She’s too cute…)
“Is something wrong?”
“When we go to school together, aren’t we supposed to walk side by side?”
“Is that okay? Elliott sama might be misunderstood…”
She walked beside me, just as I had said. She closed the door to my room and, without looking at my face, began to walk as if she were marching, just like at the graduation ceremony.
“You were trying to say something earlier, but are you okay?”
“N-no, it’s nothing.”
She smiled as she said that. I suddenly wondered, do I have to study again? Maybe I have to take the university entrance exam again? No, that’s not possible. I’m a knight in this setting.
Meanwhile, the conversation of the elderly maid who witnessed the scene.
“I thought I saw our Mary and the master walking side by side just now?”
“That’s impossible. That person is very particular about social status, even among nobles.”
“I suppose so…”
“Anyway, please go clean the garden.”
