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
“Elis is from a commoner family! That’s rare.”
Aile chatted casually while opening her lunch box. Incidentally, magic exists in this game, but only nobles can use it. It is almost always true that those who can use magic are nobles.
“Yes. My mother was originally a noble, but my father was a commoner.”
“I see. Then it must be difficult for you at this school. Let me know if there’s anything I can do to help.”
“Eh, Elliott-sama. Your words are too kind.”
With that, Ellis bowed her head in awe. It seemed that her earlier remark of calling me Elliott had been forgotten.
Well, if she’s been made aware of the difference between the aristocracy and the commoners for so long, it’s no wonder she can’t get over it. Seeing this situation, Aile sends me a signal with her chin, as if to say, “Do something.”
What do you want me to do? I was in the position of conquering Ellis, and Cass and the others always took care of things. Now I’m in the position of saving her? Me, who knows nothing about romance?
For now, if she continues to act like that, it will only look like I’m threatening her. I want her to treat me as a friend. Even though we have different social statuses, we are the same age.
“Look up, Ellis. We’re friends, so just say thank you.”
“That’s right. Garbage—-Elliott is right. Don’t use honorifics with us, okay? This is an order. A friend order, you might say?”
When Aile, who was completely riding on my tail said that, Ellis looked a little troubled. However, she soon realized that we were speaking from the heart, and her expression changed to a relaxed smile.
“Thank you, Ellis. Elliott. Thank you for being my friends.”
She smiled broadly at us. This must be her true self. We can’t do anything strange in the classroom because there are other aristocrats there, but when it’s just us, I don’t want you to be nervous.
After that, the three of us had a leisurely conversation before returning to the classroom.

“Hey, Garbage Bug, are you used to dealing with girls?”
Aile asked me that question. I probably responded with a blank look on my face to that incomprehensible question.
“I’ve never had any romantic experience.”
“I wonder if that’s really true. Well, if you say so, then I guess it is.”
“Why do you think that?”
“Hmm, it’s a secret.”
With that, she turned back to face forward and began preparing for the next class. I thought to myself that if it were Elliott’s body, he would be popular in the real world, and I lay down on my desk while watching Ellis prepare for class out of the corner of my eye.
