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 watched from behind Aile as she approached Elis like a suspicious person. She was clearly socially awkward. The insults she had been hurling at me were nowhere to be seen. She constantly checked to make sure no one was watching and timidly spoke to her.
“Elis-chan?”
Elis, who had been watching her suspicious behavior the whole time, replied nervously.
“Eh, uh, yes? I’m sorry! I was in the way, wasn’t I? I’ll move right away.”
Saying that, she immediately began to pack up her cute red lunch box. At that moment, she didn’t look at Aile’s face at all. It seemed like she thought we had come to take her seat. Well, that’s because it’s an unpopular place.
Additionally, Aile is also socially awkward, so she didn’t know how to approach Elis and looked at me for help, sending me a glance.
In a manga, sweat would be dripping down her face.
I decided to assist Aile. When I stood next to Aile, she finally looked at me, probably because she saw the shadow move.
“Elis-san? This girl wants to eat with you.”
When I spoke up, Elis’s eyes widened. She looked like I did the first time I entered a baseball stadium.
“Eh? W-with me, a commoner? Not just so the two of you can get cozy?”
Elis said that. When I looked at Aile beside me, she had a very puzzled expression on her face.
She was pulling her mouth into a grimace, as if to say, “Deny it, you piece of trash.” I reflected on the past, wondering what had happened to Aile, who had been holding my hand earlier.
“We’re just acquaintances, not lovers or anything like that.”
“…Acquaintances?”
When I denied it, Aire, dissatisfied with my words, stepped on my foot with her loafers. No, she crushed it. Feeling the pain, I modified part of my earlier words.
“No, no, we’re just friends.”
“Right?”
“Yes.”
Watching this scene, Elis covered her mouth and chuckled. Seeing this, Aile smiled at me as if to say, “Good job.”
“So, Elis-chan. Why don’t you eat with us? We won’t do anything weird.”
“Don’t say anything that might cause misunderstandings. I think this girl just wants to eat. Really. Isn’t it better to eat together than alone?”
When I said that, Elis smiled happily, put her lunch box aside, and took a sheet out of her bag. Then she turned toward us hesitantly and said,
“My mom gave me this so I could eat with my friends… Is that okay?”
Wow… Mom. That’s harsh on Elis-chan. I thought, but having lived her life multiple times, I know her mom is giving it to her with genuine goodwill, so it’s complicated.
“Thank you, Elis-chan!”
Aile was smiling more than she ever had when she was with me. Probably because she doesn’t have any friends either. She must be happy to have made a friend of the same gender.
“Then I’ll eat by myself. I’m sure you two girls have things to talk about.”
“What are you talking about? Of course you’re going to eat with us, Garbage Bug!”
“I want to eat with Garbage Bug san too.”
Saying that, Aile tapped the space next to her lightly. Ellis nodded slightly. I took her up on her offer and decided to eat with them.
“By the way, my name isn’t that, it’s Elliott.”
“Elliott san!”
“No, just call me Elliott.”
“Elliott.”
“Yes, that’s right.”
I ended up eating with the main heroine, leaving the other four handsome characters behind.
