An Otome Game’s Burikko Villainess Turned into a Magic Otaku

Camille-sama, what will you be wearing to the dance party?

Aime suddenly said something incomprehensible to me.

Dance party?

Meaning, that, huh?

As in, young men and women dancing madly in ecstasy trying to win each others hearts?

No, Camille-sama! Where on earth did you learn something like that?

Aime showed her indignation openly, placing her hands on her hips. Because she was bending backwards, a button on the chest portion of her maid outfit seemed like it was about to snap off and go flying. How strange, in my beloved otome games and novels in my past life, dance parties were that sort of thing, but

And so, what about the dance party?

You will be attending, will you not? Have you heard nothing from Marquis-sama?

I havent, but if its father, then hes always engrossed with his work so I think he probably forgot to tell me.

The one other person who should have heard from father, our butler Pierre, hasnt contacted me either. Because hes old, though he wont admit it himself, he feels a little senile so hes dodgy. Hes a good old man who is enthusiastic with his job, but it might be about time that itd be better for him to retire from the frontlines.

Hahh, Marquis-samas love for his job is troubling, isnt it? Even though its his daughters dance party debut!

Its the same as always I have learned dancing and manners, so I think it would be fine as long as I ask Achille about the things I dont know in advance.

Hahhh, each and every time I want to take my hat off to Achille-sama Itd be nice if he one day he married into the marquis family.

Aime has a high evaluation of Achille who comes to play on occasion. Not just her, but there are a huge number of his fans among the servants too. You cant make light of Achilles surface mode. The more he matures, the more polished Achilles smile becomes, and the less fake it looks too Its already reached a level that I cant see through anymore.

No matter what, that would just put Achille in a pitiful position, you know.

I may be saying this myself, but I cant call myself a normal nobles daughter. I dont mind since Im like this because I want to be, but I feel sympathy towards any men who marry into this family. Well, I feel sympathy, but I have no intentions of changing the way I roll though

If its with his specs, Achille can hunt as many good women as he wants. This isnt bias because Im a childhood friend; it really seems like that in reality. To him, itd be a tragedy to be stuck marrying someone like me. Its that guy, but I hope hell be happy.

In the game, Achille was a guy who wanted to ruin me, but if its now that were on good terms, as youd expect, I dont think hed relentlessly drive me to destruction. Achille seems to have at least that much affection for me, and Im filled with love for him.

Isnt my destruction flag getting weaker and weaker? Having thought that, to me, the Achille right now is a good friend.

Haahh, Im beat.

On a day a few days after the time I heard about the dance party from Aime, I finished my Red work, and came to the castle to report the details. Because I left for far away to complete my job, it took nearly a week going there and back. And it was night time right now.

Welcome back, Camille. Good work with the dragon extermination.

For some reason Achille came out to meet me when I returned to the castle. Certainly I was coming home from a dragon extermination, but

This time I was left the job of exterminating the dragon that attacked the villages in the frontier one by one, by my Red boss. I moved together with a number of other magicians, but the one that found the dragon responsible and finished it off was me.

Why do you know about it, Achille?

Its under my jurisdiction, so theres no way I wouldnt, right? I received the mission complete communication magic too, you know.

Speaking of which, Achille was working in the public order bureau. I dont really get the difficult stuff, but the intellectual jobs of this kingdom sure transfer a lot, huh. Up until just a while ago, he was supposed to be working in the finance bureau, but Even though Achille is a little twelve year old, hes been left a bunch of jobs for proper adults. The monster extermination of a certain region was left to Achille as well, so tracing things back, it means that I was sent out on the dragon extermination by his instruction, huh. I dont really care where the requests come from and just focus on my job though, you know? Its kind of complicated.

My skill in magic has been noticeably going up, and right now Im at a level where I can take down high class monsters alone. But I have no skill in bringing jobs and people together, or giving directions, so I cant be like Achille. Im totally fine with that. I like hands on work after all Im definitely not jealous of Achille or anything!

Speaking of which, Camille, youll be attending the dance party this time, right?

Mmn, Im attending You too, Achille?

Mmn, an invitation arrived for me too, after all. I plan on going.

How reassuring. This is much more comforting than having just father and I attending. Its a dance party open to princes of foreign countries and whatnot, so both the King Faction and Royal Prince Faction will be attending. The security is flawless, but if I dont make sure that I dont let Royce-sama out of my sight And I must carefully observe Royce-samas dancing form. Royce-sama is growing into a pleasant and kind ikemen. Im suddenly filled with enthusiasm.

And then, leaving aside my delusions of a dancing Royce-sama that Ive never seen before, I suddenly felt doubt about something.

Heyy Achille, why are you in the castle at this hour? Overtime?

Usually hed have gone home at an earlier hour.

Todays a little busy. As for your report, Ill listen to it. After that, lets go home together.

M-Mmn.

It seems that he plans on seeing me home, but if he does that, Achille will get home even later

These last few years, I feel that Achille has suddenly gotten gentler. The amount of times we meet at the castle hasnt changed, but on days off, hell help me with my studies, or accompany my shopping. In the past he was a calculating child (damned brat), but hes growing in a good direction for a person, right?

There was also the exhaustion from work, so on the carriage home I accidentally began to doze off. I was considering getting on my broom and flying home, but it might have been the right decision to let Achille drop me off in the carriage. A magician falling asleep at the wheel and falling off her broom I cant laugh about it.

You can sleep, you know. Once we arrive, Ill wake you up.

Mn But Id feel bad, you know. Being escorted home, and even falling asleep

I dont mind, so its fine. You came home from somewhere far away this time, right?

Mmn I saw the ocean, you know. One day I want to go with you, and Royce-sama too

At some point I fell asleep in the rattling and swaying carriage. I feel like somebody was stroking my hair, but once again my consciousness left me and I stopped being able to think about anything

In the end, I was fast asleep all the way up until the marquis residence.
