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
Mary, who had finished her errand, ran up to me as I sat there feeling depressed.
“Elliott sam… We don’t have time for this. We’ve already changed our clothes.”
“You’re right. I’m sorry.”
Mary brought up a serious topic to dispel the awkward atmosphere. That’s right. I had already lost the game once and returned here.
I don’t know if I have to do something to change the future, or if Ellis has to do something to change it, but if it’s the latter, there’s nothing I can do.
So, assuming it’s the former, I think I have to do what I can.
“Mary, I’m trusting you when I ask this…”
“Yes, what is it? I am your maid, Elliott sam. Please trust me!”
With that, she patted her chest. Mary’s breasts weren’t that big, but they looked very soft, and I wanted to jump on them.
“breasts… I mean, about ‘instant legs’…”
“Eh, my breasts?”
“No, I mean instant legs.”
That was dangerous… I had said exactly what I was thinking. No, I had a lot of questions about that, but if I did that, it would be game over again.
“You mean Elliott’s Shunkyaku [Instant Legs]?”
“Yes. I was wondering how much you know about me.”
That’s a lie. If she doesn’t know what I’m about to ask, it will definitely seem suspicious. That’s why I have to be so roundabout about it.
“Yes! Shunkyaku is a nickname given to Elliott sama. Nicknames are given to people who will carry the future of the country on their shoulders, based on their blessings!”
“I see. So, what do you think my blessing is?”
A blessing is something that is rarely given to a person, but when it is, it is a gift from God. Of course, Cass and Henderson also have blessings. However, in the game, they were able to activate their blessings very easily. So I thought I would be able to activate mine too, but when I fought Dranble, I couldn’t activate it even once.
Elliott is also a character that can be conquered, so he must have a blessing too.
“…Is this a test? There’s no way I would mistake you. I know everything about you.”
She spoke about me with confidence. Wasn’t she originally being bullied by me? Judging from the reactions of those around her, it seems that Mary was being treated very badly.
“Elliott sama’s blessing is a momentary, extraordinary increase in leg strength.”
“So how do I activate my blessing?”
“Well, I don’t know yet, but it’s supposed to be activated when God feels it should be activated.”
I received a vague answer. So, it’s impossible to activate the blessing on my own will. Since it’s a blessing from God, I guess that explanation makes sense.
Then why did the blessing activate during my fight with Mary last time? Was it necessary to activate the blessing?
“Thank you, Mary. Will you be there to witness it?”
“Yes, I’m not sure if I can be your opponent, but I’ll do my best.”
Last time, I won by a landslide. My battle with her will probably end with my victory. That’s how it should be. Otherwise, I don’t understand why the protection was activated in the previous battle.
That’s how it should be…
“Then let’s go.”
A silence like the dead of night descends on the courtyard. This stillness feels like a sealed-off crime scene. However, the crime scene I was at before was noisy. There were unpleasant voices flying around. The ugly voices of humans and their painful cries. I could hear them. But this place strips away all unnecessary emotions, focusing solely on the sword.
I kick the ground toward Mary. But 【Instant legs】 doesn’t activate. As a result, it becomes a regular exchange of blows.
Mary and I, two swordsmen, neither of us backing down, rely solely on each other’s breathing and presence to seek an opening for the next strike.
“Fast…”
Mary couldn’t help but groan. With each strike, her arms went numb, and her grip strength gradually faded.
But she couldn’t back down.
She kicked the ground to close the distance and swung her blade from a low stance. Mary quickly jumped back, but even that was anticipated. Two strikes, three strikes, chasing after her. Finally, she succeeded in knocking Mary’s sword away.
“I surrender.”
“No, that was quite a sword technique. As I suspected, Mary. Are you studying swordsmanship?”
“No, no, I’m just a maid.”
Saying that, she laughed as she went to pick up the sword I had thrown. She denied it, but the sword techniques she displayed were not those of an ordinary servant.
“Mary, you have a talent for swordsmanship. Maybe you should take up the sword.”
I had thought the same thing last time. Why was she here as a maid? No, maybe something had happened in the past. Not being able to remember it now, giving Mary advice so easily might be a bad move.
“Thank you for sticking with me, Mary.”
I only said words of gratitude to Mary. However, I realized something this time. That protection may only be activated when God is truly needed. In that case, does that mean I have to defeat the elite individual, Dranble, without protection?
Do I have to improve my sword skills by tomorrow? I thought to myself, what an unreasonable thing to ask.
Meanwhile, Mary…
“It’s because Elliott-sama means something to me when I hold my sword.”
She smiled slightly and gripped her sword once more.
