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
I wanted to ask Aile to teach me magic to protect myself, but it seemed that she needed to prepare for it. So she asked me to wait a little longer.
For that reason, I decided to go home as planned. I received a cheerful email from Mary saying, “Let’s go home together!”
It seems that this world also has something similar to smartphones. However, they were called magic tools instead of machines. I realized once again that this world is very opportunistic. I didn’t care about it when I was playing the game, but when it comes to myself, I have many questions about this world.
As I was leaving the classroom with these thoughts in mind, I heard a voice behind me.
“Elliott. Can you come to the staff room now?”
I knew roughly why, but the teacher called me over. I had just told Mary that I was on my way, so this was very inconvenient. It didn’t look like it would be over very quickly, so I left a message for Mary saying that I would be a little late.
“Right now? That’s fine.”
I said that and tried to follow the teacher. At that moment, I heard loud footsteps behind me. When I looked back, I saw a girl with silver hair approaching me.
When she came close to me, she said to the teacher, breathing heavily.
“Can I come with you too?”
“You are…”
“I am Elliott san’s personal maid.”
She said that and stuck out her chest. I thought she didn’t need to stick out her chest because it was already sticking it out
“Ah, what I’m about to say is personal. Is it okay for her to hear it, Elliott?”
“It’s okay, teacher. Thank you.”
After I said that, the teacher took us both to the staff room. He made sure no one else was around before he started talking.
“I want today’s events to be forgotten. Of course, I feel sorry for Elliott. But you understand that the highest level of magic is magic that could shake the country, right?”
“Yes.”
There was no way I could say that I had just learned about it. Mary looked sad beside me.
“We will consider this matter carefully. So, for the time being, promise me that you will not use advanced magic. Of course, I am also concerned about Elliott’s health. He miraculously survived this time, but there is no guarantee that he will survive the next time. Do you understand?”
“I understand. I don’t want to die, so I won’t use it.”
“Thank you. Keep working hard. You have a talent for sword fighting. Why don’t you focus on improving that first?”
“I will do that.”
With that, I left the staff room. I’m sure the teacher is having a hard time dealing with me. He probably doesn’t want to think that I, a mere noble, could shake the country.
Of course, I don’t think I have that kind of power, but I think it’s better to stop. However, the maid standing next to me, who is showing her anger, doesn’t seem to think so.
“My lord, I cannot accept that. You have the power to carry this country on your shoulders. It would be a waste to hide that power and live a normal life.”
“But I don’t want to get involved in anything troublesome.”
“But! The name of Elliott will be known throughout the world!”
Mary seemed to be getting excited. I wasn’t sure if she was serious or joking, but it was more likely the former.
“Mary, I think it’s enough if I have the power to protect the people close to me.”
“I think that’s a good attitude…”
Mary looks a little uneasy. She opens her mouth as if she wants to say something, then starts talking as if she has made up her mind.
“So, you still don’t intend to become the vice-captain of the Knights?”
“Eh…!?”
“But Elliott has changed. Before, Elliott didn’t care about anything else except becoming the vice-captain, but now he’s trying magic and stuff… He’s all over the place.”
What do you mean, I wasn’t the vice-captain yet? Was I supposed to become the vice-captain after being influenced by Ellis in the story? So, will Ellis encourage me to follow that path after this?
No, that’s not right. I met Ellis in an unusual way. I feel like the probability of that happening is low.
“I don’t recommend that Elliott become the vice-captain. It’s a selfish request, but the Knights devote their lives to the country. Even if the vice-captain is fine, they will lose their lives in three years at best.”
“What about the commander?”
“Have you forgotten? The commander is the sword saint, Shutare. She is a commoner and cannot use magic, but she has earned her position with her sword alone. She is the strongest at the moment.”
“I see…”
There was no such character in the game. It must be a character exclusive to Elliott. I’m curious about what kind of person she is, but does that mean I have to become the vice-captain?
For now, I need to measure my abilities against someone else. How skilled am I with swords? How much of my abilities have I inherited?
“Mary, can you spar with me right now?”
“Eh, no, no, not me…”
“Please… Mary.”
“I’m no match for you. Are you sure?”
“I still want you to do it.”
Mary reluctantly accepted my proposal. If I hadn’t inherited his abilities, I would only have the training I received at school. Of course… No, it doesn’t matter.
In that case, it might be better to pursue the path of magic.
However, if I can pursue the path of swordsmanship, it might be better to aim for the position of deputy leader that Elliott was aiming for. If that means I can get closer to the end of this strange phenomenon.
