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!”
I hear Elis screaming behind me. But I don’t have time to worry about that.
It hurts. It hurts. It hurts. It hurts. It hurts.
This is too much. I wasn’t supposed to end up like this when I was reincarnated into a dating sim game. Besides, I’m not supposed to die. Aren’t I special?
“Elliott! Run away. He’s coming!”
I faintly heard her voice and managed to dodge Dranble’s attack at the last second. However, even though I dodged that attack, the situation remained the same.
I was already losing consciousness due to excessive blood loss. I was only able to remain conscious because of the pain I felt on my right side. I wouldn’t be able to withstand the next attack.
“I want to live… I don’t want to die.”
My true feelings slipped out. Ellis looked at me with an indescribable expression on her face. A hero should never have such an expression on his face. After all, I am not Cass or Henderson. I am just a civil servant.
“Elliott, please take Aile and run away. I’ll take care of this.”
“But…”
“Can you hold a sword in this situation? Please calm down.”
Ellis continued to speak to me in a desperate voice.
“I don’t want to see anyone die because of me.”
She left me with such a earnest voice. In response to her wish, I carried Aile on my back. And I attempted a retreat that was not heroic. I was going to leave the heroine behind and run away. From now on, I was going to run away for my own life.
Without saying a word, I tried to run as far away from Dromble as possible. But Dromble wasn’t going to let me get away that easily.
Ignoring Ellis, he came after me. It was as if he understood our conversation from earlier.
Carrying a girl on my back, I was quickly caught up. Standing in my way was it, with my blood on his right hand and a defiant smile on his face.
“Elliott! I’m sorry. I couldn’t stop her.”
“Is there anything else we can do here and now?”
I sat Aile down quietly. Aile’s eyes were unfocused. She was muttering words that didn’t make sense.
“You… I won’t forgive you.”
He mocked me as if he understood what I was saying. I tried to concentrate without worrying about that. However, the pain prevented me from concentrating.
What if I jumped in again and it didn’t activate?
Would I die? What would happen if I died?
Such thoughts raced through my mind. But I had to do it. I didn’t use it. If I relied on it, I would be defeated by the gap when it didn’t activate.
That’s why I thought that. I charged at Dranble as is. But Dranble didn’t even bother with me. He jumped over me and landed beside Aile and Elis.
Then he glanced back at me once, smiled smugly, and swung his right arm down toward Aile.
I witnessed another person’s death.
Aile turned into a pile of flesh without putting up a fight. In that instant, I dropped the sword I had been holding in my left hand.
“What are we going to do?”
I uttered meaningless words. Even after Aile was killed, Elis remained determined to fight. However, her resistance was in vain, and she too became a target.
I couldn’t move. Even in this situation.
And with no way to stop it, Ellis also entered Dranble’s range. Then, just like before, Dranble’s right arm swung down.
This game is over. This world is ending. I will be freed. A mysterious sense of relief arose. I ceased to be human.
Ellis was killed. That’s what I thought.

…
“Elliott… Are you asleep? Thank you for waiting.”
I heard a voice. So, I was killed by it too, and Mary will appear in my dying vision.
I was thinking about this, but I managed to lift my eyelids. There was the courtyard of the mansion that I had seen before.
Mary was looking at my face, looking a little anxious. Am I alive? What’s going on? I’m sure I fought it, and both Aile and Ellis were killed.
“Elliott sama, I’m sorry to keep you waiting. It took a little longer than expected to prepare.”
Saying that, Mary bowed her head. She looked into my face as if it were the most natural thing in the world. I impulsively grabbed her shoulder.
“Hey, Mary! Is Aile alive? What happened to Ellis? What happened to Dromble? What happened?”
“Eh, Aile sama? I don’t know but I saw Elis sama at school today.”
“No! We went into the forest for training!”
Even when I said that, Mary looked at me as if I were crazy. She smiled and urged me to calm down, gently pulling away my hand from her shoulder.
“I heard that the training in the forest is tomorrow. Perhaps you were dreaming, Elliott sama?”
She didn’t seem to be lying. It seemed that I was the one who was strange. Why? The training definitely started.
So that’s how it is. Maybe this world is a game. Someone pressed the button.
