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
We walked together the short distance to school. The townscape was like a medieval castle town that I was familiar with from video games. I thought that people would get excited and stare at the Knight Master walking by, but that wasn’t the case.
However, when we arrived at school, it was a different story.
“Hey, look. Elliott’s got a girl with him.”
“Don’t lie to me, okay? What’s that?”
“Isn’t the girl next to him cute?”
“Isn’t that Mary? Is she Elliott’s girl?”
I could hear the envious voices of the men. Of course they would be. She was with such a cute girl. As she wished, we parted ways before entering the school.
Apparently, it is rare for a nobleman and a servant to be together, so it would attract attention. I would have been proud to show her off, but if she didn’t want to, there was nothing I could do. Besides, we shouldn’t stand out too much.
It seems that Mary and I are in different classes after all. The class divisions in this game are designed to differentiate between students. Ostensibly, it’s to promote physical education, but the system is such that those who excel at magic and athletics go to the higher classes.
We parted ways just before we reached the school gate. Mary ran ahead of me, her skirt fluttering slightly.
“Well then, see you later, Mary.”
“I’ll do my best. See you later, Elliott sama.”
She left with only a smile. And so, I was left all alone. I had already noticed it, but it seems that Elliott is disliked, as I expected. What does it mean when the main character is disliked?
Isn’t he usually popular or something?
There was one reason I realized this. No one tried to approach me. Rather, they looked at me as if I were a heretic. I sighed and let out a voice without thinking.
“I should have tried to win them over!”
…Oh no. Everyone who heard my muttering moved a meter away from me. I must be quite unpopular. Come to think of it, I do have a scary face, Elliott. No one spoke to me, and I arrived at class as I was.
Well, I’m used to it because I didn’t have many friends at school. But I’m not trying to act tough. I feel lonely.
Mary… Help me. Mary is my only salvation.
That’s what I was thinking, but there were many familiar faces in the classroom. That said, it’s just that I happen to know them. Isn’t the facial deviation value of my class too high in the first place? They say it’s harder to make ugly characters in games. Is that why?
However, maybe because I came to this world, the settings have changed. The main characters who weren’t supposed to be in the same class are now in the same class.
The first prince, Cas. The duke’s only son, Henderson. The other two aren’t in the same class, apparently. I feel a connection to them. After all, I’ve conquered them. I know their various forms. I was the heroine until just now.
Thinking about that, I sat down at the seat with my name on it. I calmly looked around.
Cas and the others seem popular. They’re surrounded by various girls. That’s right. But they found (me) the heroine, and invited me to the dance. That was nostalgic.
“…They’re too good-looking, Cas and Henderson.”
I couldn’t help but mutter to myself. I hurriedly looked around, but most people had moved to other seats and hadn’t heard me. However, one person had heard me. The red-haired girl with glasses sitting next to me was looking at me. She had a look on her face as if she had seen something unbelievable.
“No, it’s not like that…”
“No, I think it’s fine. I think that’s good.”
She quickly looked away from me and immediately lowered her eyes to her book. She tucked her bobbed hair behind her ear and read her book with a lovely appearance. Would it be appropriate to call her a literary girl? She had an aura that suited that description.
Her name was apparently Aile. She was a girl who didn’t appear in the game at all. Since I had no prior information about her, it meant that this was our first meeting. I didn’t know if Elliott had been talking to her before, so I couldn’t make a move without knowing what I was doing. Besides, it seems like she hates me.
I’m curious about the girl next to me, but my biggest concern is my former self. Ellis is the main character of this game. She is the heroine, so to speak. Nothing good will come of getting involved with her.
Right now, she is sitting alone. All by herself. Around the end of summer vacation, she was surrounded by Cass and the others on the bus, so it seems like the new semester hasn’t been going on for very long. If that’s the case, then she is too hated.
Well, maybe rumors spread among the nobility like neighborhood gossip. I hope that rumor hasn’t reached Elis’s ears.
“Elis…”
I muttered her name, as if it had slipped out.
“No, I think you should probably stay away from girls.”
I looked at Aile, who had accurately pointed out my slip of the tongue, but she just made the remark and went back to her book.
