The Villainess, Cecilia Silvy, Doesn't Want to Die, so She Decided to Crossdress

Chapter 5

Translated by Momo. Edited by Mary!

I like cute girls. I love them.

I like how soft and fluffy they are when I embrace them, their embarrassed faces are cute, and their appearance as they’re coming at me while calling out my name is really adorable.

So, at first, I thought it would be fine.

I was confident in my acting because I was a theatre club member in my previous life, and I was convinced that I fully imprinted the perfect male image loved by any woman using my knowledge of otome games. Although I’m not a specialist in relationships, I love girls, and I could handle the feelings they had towards me.

However, this situation in which I have absolutely no privacy at all now is too hard!

Cecilia was running away.

From a junior who was carrying a gift.

From classmates who were persistently touching her body.

From that senior who tries to invite her to sleep with him whenever there’s a chance.

“Aaaah, it’s impossible! Seriously impossible!”

And so, she continued to run away.

Two weeks after Cecilia’s battle in the auditorium.

The girl’s enthusiasm for the “Prince promoted as a knight (?)*” was at its peak. Cecilia had absolutely no private time, was always being chased around, and there’s always someone by her side no matter what she does or where she goes.

Naturally, in this scenario, the ‘strategy conference’ with Gilbert has been adjourned since then.

Even if she didn’t have any privacy and always had to be careful with her surroundings, she was able to endure it at first. She thought that their prince fever would be short-lived, and things would soon return to the way they were before. However, as the days passed, Cecilia’s patience reached its limit, and this time, she couldn’t help but try to escape from all of it.

“Please wait, Cecil!”

“I’m sorry! I’m in a hurry right now!”

Cecilia fled into the courtyard, shaking off the girls chasing after her. Hiding behind a flowerbed, the student who chased Cecilia passed by in front of her eyes, uttering in an annoyed voice: “Where did he go?”

“I’m finally alone …”

While leaning back on a tree, she slid down to the ground.

“I have to set Leanne up with someone, but I can’t act around freely in this state.”

As Cecilia already got Gilbert’s vote, Leanne needed to form a relationship with someone else and receive another 'treasure’. Fortunately, Leanne and Cecilia were in the same class and it should have been easy to make a move but she can’t do it now even if she wanted to. It would be better if the heroine acted on her own, but so far no signs have been seen. In fact, it was quite the opposite.

“We’re changing the classroom. Would you like to go with us, Cecil? “

“Cecil, can I sit by your side?”

“Please tell me how to solve this problem, Cecil.“

Cecil, Cecil, Cecil, Cecil…

Leanne is getting more attached to Cecil than to any other capture character. Certainly, from her perspective, Cecil is a knight and a possible capture target, but in reality, the existence of Cecil shouldn’t happen in the original game scenario.

“I want to ignore Leanne, but it feels risky overlapping Cecilia’s existence with Cecil …”

Most of Cecilia’s causes of death are related to “Leanne being harmed”.

Her overall feeling is that if she ignores Leanne using the disguise of 'Cecil’ she will ultimately receive the punishment that would befall on Cecilia.

“Well, even without any favourable relationships, Leanne’s third event of her romance routes is surely going to happen. Then, after that is over …”

"Meow!”

“Meow?”

Cecilia’s thoughts were interrupted as she looked back to check where that cry came from.

There was a small cat. Short legs with a mix of brown and black fur. The kitten’s cuteness was highlighted by its lack of motor skills, stumbling on its feet.

“Wow! Cute!! Is it a Munchkin? Fluffy!”

“Meeeeow!”

The kitten wasn’t shy at all, and even let Cecilia hug it.

While rubbing her face on its white furry stomach, she felt like she could even smell a sunny fragrance.

“Oh, your foot is injured. I wonder if you scraped it somewhere …”

Within a minute, Cecilia searched inside her pocket and took out a light pink handkerchief.

Then, she wrapped the handkerchief around the cat’s bloody foot.

“Now, let’s take you to the clinic later. Maybe they’ll have some disinfectant! Oh, I wonder if it’s okay to use a disinfectant that was meant for humans…

“Meow?”

“Let’s ask Dr. Mordred. Because that person is a 'Scholarly character’, I think he’ll know the answer to it!”

“Meoooow!”

Touching the tip of its nose, the kitten moved its head towards her, as if wanting to be closer. It was adorable.

“Ooooh, this is so healing! It’s exactly what I’ve been missing! My cute kitten! I’ll give you a name! Let’s see…”

It was right then and there. People started talking over the hedge where Cecilia was hiding. One is a cute bell-like voice and the other is an intimidating baritone voice.

She recognized both of them.

Cecilia peeked over the hedge.

There were the silhouettes of Oscar and Lean who seemed to have been looking at the roses together.

Notes:

*The (?) was there in the original text. I guess it’s just to highlight how weird it is since a prince is supposed to be a higher ranking than a knight. Everyone seemed to forget that Oscar is also one of the “knights”.
