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
It was the second battle. Dranble probably doesn’t remember me, but I remember him.
“I’ll count on you Aile.”
“Light up, little flame—Flame Spark!”
She floated a fireball into the sky. This should let the others know that we encountered the enemy.
Maybe someone will come to help us, but the chances of that are slim.
“It’s Dranble… An elite-class one at that… Something like that…”
“We can’t handle it.”
The others must be encountering it for the first time. That means I’m the only one who has repeated this world.
“We’re no good. Let’s run away.”
“But the teacher said to stay here!”
“If we stay here, we’ll be killed. The priority is to survive, no matter who it is!”
With that, the first person to run away did just that, as expected. Even if this person graduates, they should not be allowed to work in a job that involves protecting people.
However, it is natural for someone to not want to die so that someone else can escape and survive. Even though they knew they would be safe if they entered the shelter, when one person ran away because they thought it was dangerous, it caused everyone else to feel anxious.
Then they all rush to escape. It can’t be helped.
“Aile, are you sure you don’t want to run away?”
“…Of course I want to run away. But I won’t run away because Elliott isn’t running away.”
“I see… I’ll fight. I’ll fight this guy.”
Aile will fight after all. However, she is still missing something fundamental. Her legs are shaking, her hands are shaking, and the cane she is holding is shaking even more.
“Ellis, you run away! Elliott and I will do our best here.”
“No, I won’t run away. I will fight too.”
She won’t run away. Is there some reason for this? There is no time to find out.
“Ellis, run away! Aile and I will manage here. I’d be happier if at least one of us survived.”
“No, I’ll surely regret leaving you two behind. I’ve decided that I won’t do anything that will make me regret myself later.”
She said that. Her words were not just superficial, but had weight. That was probably because of the relationship between her and her mother. Knowing that, I swallowed her words.
“Then I’ll distract him. In the meantime, Aile and Elis, support me with magic.”
I asked them to do that, but since we had been defeated without a fight last time, we had to attack calmly. I wanted to rely on Instant Legs, but it was likely that it wouldn’t activate.
“Are you saying Instant Legs isn’t necessary against him?”
I complained to the gods who wouldn’t activate my protection. If I keep doing this, I’ll get punished and the protection won’t activate, but it’s too late now. I already said it!
Last time, I let my guard down. It’s a crappy game where one hit means game over. It’s slow, but still pretty fast. However, if I don’t let my guard down, it’s not impossible to avoid.
“I’ll go first.”
