I Appear to have been Reincarnated as a Love Interest in an Otome Game

Editor: Lord Asmodeus

So you see.

It seems that this insidious resentful woman is planning various ways to undermine us.

I dont think that Count Woodroid would risk the downfall of his family to do her bidding. But, depending on the nature of his love for his wife, thats a different story.

Its easy for people to fall apart in the face of such an obsessive love, and it can easily lead to ruin. Looking back at the history of this country, there are several incidents that come to mind that are not even funny. There is none.

So be careful not to be caught off guard.

The Count is a very successful person in aristocratic society, so his influence in social circles is big in his own right, and he has a good amount of political voice too. If you turn him into an enemy, hes a lot of trouble.

If youre saying that someone like that could turn on your enemies and try to do something, then sure. I dont feel safe leaving Angelica and her friends in Royal Capital. But then, wouldnt that put Douglas and Michelle and the others in danger?

Danielle says that he understands the danger and that its better to take Angelica and her friends along for the ride. I also understood the idea of but then, wouldnt it be better to take Douglas and the others and Michelle and the others with us?

If Im so bitter, then Michelle, who made a habit of seducing Huey to keep him away from this country and then easily chose another man to disappear from the academy must be at the top of Mrs. Clauss revenge list, right?

In terms of resentment, its probably bigger than the one against me.

Of course it would be dangerous, but Lady Michelle and Lady Jackie will be under royal surveillance during the winter holidays, and you know, Im sure you will live in confinement in the same place. Are you prepared to overturn that decision in favor of taking the two of you out?And then theres Mr. Douglas and April, both of whom, for the sake of their futures, are going to be in the social circles this winter. I think it is necessary to be in the right place. If we dont get rid of the bad rumors now, we wont be able to recover from a lot of things.

My opinion was shattered by Danielles good argument.

What Danielle is saying is definitely true. I can understand that, too. But its one thing to be able to understand and another to be convinced.

Is it really okay to just do nothing when you know that its dangerous?

Of course, I know I cant hold it all together and Im not going to be able to hold it all together. Im not going to be able to give them the benefit of the doubt for the future. I understand that you need to be able to defend yourself to some degree. But you cant help but worry, though, can you?

Im sure youve noticed that Im having trouble coming to terms with the fact that Im not sure how I feel about it, but Danielle raised her eyebrows as if to say, Oh dear.

Its a good idea to have a safe base of operations on your own, but why go to all the trouble of putting it all in one place where its easy for the enemy to get you? You dont have to freeze up, do you?

I was shocked by Danielles words he told me as if I had been hit on the head with a heavy blow.

Thats for sure!Even in a game of tag, you dont try to escape from the demons. In order to make it harder to narrow down the target, its standard practice to spread out and run away.

Its not like the girls are on recess, and wherever they go or what they do, Lets do it together in a close group! Hey! What a great target for the enemy to try to round up. Even if acting alone is out of the question, the fact that a small group of people acts separately is enough to disperse the enemys eyes and make it easier for them to see you. Its a good strategy that can reduce the threat, we need to make sure we have enough safety measures in place.

Besides

Maybe if we split into these three groups, theyre all under tight political control and theyre a pain in the ass to deal with. Michelle and Jackie, youre in a position and at a distance where its easy to let go, but you can always let go for that. Plus, Ive already returned the favor so theres a much lower risk of it being directed at Douglas and April. Isnt it?Im sure that out of the three groups, she would be most likely to look at me.

This is because the circumstances of this case are such that my actions are treated as just a hot water cure and also as a top-secret.

Its a good idea to have an elite member of my own shadow squad along with a competent member of the knights corps to guard the public, so Im pretty much invincible with Danielle as well.

Im sure that even the Count doesnt know such a thing.

If thats the case, I think that I, who at first glance seems to be able to manage the crisis better than most, should be the first target.

Youre right!If you can get her to turn her eyes on me that means youre taking Angelica and her friends to the most dangerous place. That means were going, right?

I yelled at the top of my lungs!

I thought wed come to a good conclusion!

It kind of reminded me of the back to square one square that was set up just before the goal of Sugoroku. I cant help but feel that all my hard work has been for nothing. It feels like all my hard work is for naught.

If my place is going to be the most dangerous, I still dont understand why Im taking Angelica and Jessica with me.

I cant help it if Im in danger. Its the role I was born to play, so Im going to have to accept it and be prepared for it. I am. Im sure youre aware of the danger that will entail if you want to support the country in the future.

Im sure Louis is aware of the danger that will accompany him if he plans to become my right-hand man in the future. I dont think hes the only one who isnt prepared for it.

But it is natural for a man to treasure Angelica and Jessica more than himself. Keep them in a safe place and protect them even if they were prepared to do so, isnt it?

In this way, Im stuck in the labyrinth of the gap between hope and reality again and Danielle is looking at me like shes enjoying herself.

What bad taste. Is it that interesting to see me in distress?

Ive been thinking about this for a while. Danielle is a bit of a licker to adolescents, isnt he?

Im one of those pissed-off kids growing up in Japan, you know?It can be sharp as a knife and hurt everyone it touches!

I glared at him with all my might and he apologized, laughing happily, as I knew he would.

I wont accept that kind of apology without any heart in it!

It doesnt matter, Master Kyle. Think about it some more.

Danielle, you know, she just slapped me in the face while I was miffed. What do you mean by that? I dont know if my grumpiness is the extent of that kind of thing!

Huh?Im Danielles master, right?

Well, it certainly doesnt make me feel the Lords dignity or anything at all!

And the frustrating thing is, no matter how hard I try, Im still only ever going to be Danielles underperforming little brother. Ugh. Im comfortable with that position myself, and I dont mind that. You cant help but be angry, even if you think so.

However, no matter how angry and frustrated I am, it doesnt mean that my trust in Danielle will change or that I will be able to defeat him in various ways, so I have no choice but to give up.

Its really frustrating, but well just have to improve our moods and continue the conversation. Its my problem to begin with, you know.

Im sure youll be able to find a way to make it work.

Really, you cant beat Danielle.

Its a good idea to protect them right beside you, considering that they are in danger of being out of your reach. Dont you agree?

Thats certainly true. If its going to be dangerous either way, its less stressful for me to be around to protect you. Nah.

If you leave Jessica to Louis, there will be no problem, and the idea of being able to experience the feeling of traveling with a group of close friends is unbearably appealing.

Once thats decided, we need to decide on a destination and make all the necessary arrangements as soon as possible!
