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

By the way, the disappointing/unfortunate used to describe Camille is sort of like the disappointment or regret of having somebody who is attractive, intelligent and professional, but is unfortunately a massive masochist. Its that kind of unfortunate.

Like a (disappointing/unfortunate husband) is basically a bum of a husband, or a husband that has one or more majorly bum-like qualities about him. Or is majorly hopeless or something.

A (zannen na bijin) is a beauty that happens to have an aspect of her that just ruins the image completely. Like shes actually a complete slob at home. Or she has a massive and uncontrollable train fetish. Or shes an insufferable shotacon.

There was a beautiful garden, and in the centre was a white fountain surrounded by roses in full bloom. We might be getting close to the inner palace.

Suddenly, I felt like I heard a voice, so I looked down, and when I did, I saw the figure of a child about our age. A small boy with beautiful golden hair was being surrounded by some slightly older looking kids. However, it seemed that they werent playing together.

When I looked in front, I found that Camille was frowning a little. Shes an oddball, but it seems she has a strong sense of justice.

Will you save that boy?

When I spoke into her ear on purpose, Camille was startled enough that it was funny. Oh shit, Ive found a surprising weakness of hers. It seems that this is a bit of a habit.

Is it okay to go down? Wont I get you mixed up in it, Achille?

Its fine, but? That blondie is probably a kid from the royal family It might be a good chance for me to establish contact with him.

Hes wearing clothing thats obviously higher class than the other children, and if I remember correctly, the first prince was a blonde kid of about that age. Even if we save him, theres no loss to us. Also, the one whos getting wrapped up isnt me, but Camille. Im already resolved. If she saves the prince, shell make enemies of the Royal Prince Faction. Even a kid knows about the issue of the two great powers in this country. It looks like Camille isnt thinking about a thing, though.

The very moment Camille heard my reply, she thrust the broom at the noble kid who was mounting the prince.

Heyy! Stop thaat!

The end of the broom stabbed the guy in the arse. Looks painful. While Camille was arguing with the children of the Royal Prince Faction, I ran over to the prince.

Can you stand?

Mn, I can Thanks.

I helped the prince up, and took a distance from the kids.

At that moment, one of the kids tried to hit Camille. Even if I tried to save her, I wouldnt make it in time from here or so I thought, when Camille easily repelled it with defensive magic. It was a perfect defensive wall. On top of that, it seems she was planning on going as far as counterattacking.

Take thiiis!

However, theres supposed to be a strong magic prevention barrier cast on the castle.

Oh?[/Are?] My magic wont come out

Obviously. As expected, Camilles offensive magic turned into smoke and disappeared.

Except for those in security, nobody can use offensive class magic without permission here.

The prince thoughtfully explained to Camille. This much is common sense, though.

The children of the Royal Prince Faction who were stunned by the defensive magic gradually recovered, and seeing them approach us in the corner of my eye, I called out to Camille to ride the broom. After a quick gasp, Camille came running over. She quickly had the prince straddle the broom.

Were ready!

Alright!

Camille had us rise quickly into the air, and we distanced ourselves from the noble children. I guided Camille who was flying a lap above their heads while laughing provocatively.

Lets return to the Magicians Building Father might have returned.

Camille has an immature part to her, so had I left her be, she might have continued taunting them forever. We have to leave here before anybody else from the Royal Prince Faction arrive.

Yeah.

She obediently listened to me, and headed back to the Magicians Building.

Ahhh, Im tired. That was heavy.

According to Camille, carrying three people on a broom was tiring. Even though were in front of the prince, she paid it no heed and dived onto the sofa. Even though we even got to gallantly save the prince, at the very, very end she showed some seriously disappointing sides of her. My impression of Camille has taken an 180 degree turn from the one I had at our first meeting, plus another 45 degrees. She(This) is not someone(something) you can expect a normal response from.

Fortunately, it seems that the prince had no intent of finding fault with Camilles irreverence. He looked in on her worriedly.

Thank you for saving me, you two. Im Royce Garnet, the first prince of this country.

Prince? Roiss?

It looks like Camille has finally realised the princes identity. It seems she really wasnt thinking about a thing. It had absolutely nothing to do with who the bullied child was, and she saved him purely due to her sense of justice, it seems. She really is a young lady thats nothing like a noble. I became even more interested in this girl who had a way of thinking that I didnt.

I-, I am Camille Rhodolite.

Ahh, Marquis Rhodolites Im glad that we met.

Camille was shaken by each one of the princes words, making a hundred different expressions. For some reason I feel it unamusing, and I feel sick near my chest. Acting like this, even though she snorted during my introduction.

After that, I finished my introduction without delay.

Huhu For you two to have been the son and daughter of the Magician Buildings number one and two You two really saved me. I got seen being pathetic though, haha

The prince smiled contentedly. Well yeah, of course he would be, since he basically gained the higher ups of the Magician Building as allies through Camille and I. Good work in stealing allies for yourself.

No, we just happened to be passing by, but I am glad that we were of use to you, Your Highness. What is most important is that you are safe.

You dont need to be so formal, you know? Our age is close, and Id be happy if we could get along from now on as well. Unfortunately there arent many people in the castle that Im close to, you see

Hearing the princes words, Camilles face shone.

Royce-sama In that case, I shall ask my father[/otousama] for permission and bring Achille again to play.

I got dragged into it too, for some reason Well, thats fine. I get to leave that house, and increasing my contact with the prince is something to be thankful for.

Really?

The prince seems happy too.

Of course! If my father allows, though.

Ill have it arranged.

While this was happening, Marquis Rhodolite and father came into the room. Father was stunned upon seeing the prince, but the marquis didnt seem to be interested in the prince. The prince told the two of them about what happened outside, and hearing this, the marquis scolded Camille. The marquis was indifferent towards the prince, but once it involved Camille, his reaction became excessive. The marquis might also be an overly doting, idiot parent like my father.

However, theres no reason to blame Camille. Certainly I was shocked by her audacity in flying above the castle without permission, but thanks to that, we were able to save the prince.

Marquis-sama, if you are going to blame Camille, then I am guilty as well.

Surprised that I was covering for her, Camilles eyes widened. She really is a easy to read fellow. She probably thought that it wasnt like me. Somehow I feel that she knows about my true personality

Mn, Camille hasnt done anything bad. Thanks to her, I was saved.

The prince took advantage of my words to cover for Camille as well, so she wasnt scolded any further.

A butler-like man appeared to meet the prince, and the prince and the adults left the room. Theyre probably talking about Camille and I as well as what theyll be doing themselves from now on.

Are you okay with that, Camille? Getting close to Prince Royce means that youll be making enemies of the Royal Prince(Kings Younger Brother) Faction, you know?

Mn? Whats that?

This girl really doesnt know a thing after all.

Today you made enemies of the son of His Majestys younger brother, you know I did too, though. Thats why from now on, whether you like it or not, youll be seen as part of the Kings Faction.

Ahh So thats how it is.

Not, so thats how it is Even though shes the daughter of the marquis, are things going to be alright like this? Its gone past just shock; Im worried now.

Mn, they might be talking about the same thing outside, huh

Both the Rhodolite Marquis family and the Jade Viscount family will probably be seen as the Kings Faction from now on.

Im fine After all, one day Id have to choose which faction to fall under after all, and I like Royce-sama too

Eh, like!? Camille Are you aiming to marry into power?

For this weird girl who knows nothing about anything to be aiming for the seat of the queen Was all of the stupid behaviour up until now, camouflage to deceive her surroundings?

However, she looked at me as though she was seeing something strange.

Huhh? What are you on about?

Im hoping that Prince Royce will become my patron, but I was wondering if you were aiming for the seat of the Queen, you see Unexpected, ambitious?

Sif I am!

I was negated with all her strength, but hearing this, I felt relieved somewhere inside. Why? I dont really get it myself. When Im with Camille, nothing goes as I expect. I end up being led around the nose by her at every turn.

For some reason Camille was looking my way in indignation for some reason. It seems that she was dissatisfied with my marry into power remark.

Thats true. Right now youre the only daughter of Marquis Rhodolite after all, so you have to find a husband and succeed your family, right?

Marquis Rhodolite is unmarried, and his only child is Camille. She probably understands her position as well, in her own weirdo way.

But even though theres nothing to complain about when it comes to her appearance and status, why on earth are the contents this? Its seriously unfortunate. At this rate, wont a husband candidate never show up? Having the number of rivals decrease is convenient for me, but

Ill become a magician that protects Royce-sama.

Completely cutting off the flow of conversation up until now, Camille suddenly declared this. What is she planning to do this time? I really cant take my eye of her. If I dont take responsibility and stop her before she does something problematic the prince is absolutely going to meet with some harm.

Then Ill become an aide that can help Royce-sama.

I took Camilles hand. She looked at me in wonder.

Youll become a knight?

I have no intention of becoming anything like a knight. If Im going to do something, I want a smarter job.

Nope, an aide.

One day Ill become the prime minister or something too. Ive decided on my goal.

I see! Then lets try our best together.

Camille who probably isnt thinking about a thing, was just simply happy about having her comrades increase.

But I didnt overlook the fact that her eyes looked in bewilderment at the hands I was holding. I was elated by some feeling I didnt know welling up inside me, upon seeing Camille looking shaken for the first time.

What is this feeling, anyway? Its probably, the feeling of accomplishment.

From then on, my father would occasionally bring me to Camilles house, or the castle where the prince lived.
