CH 28

"Ankoro Mochiko, is what I am called."

I passed the entrance ceremony while sorting out the knowledge that I thought was originally in my brain. My upbringing, how I entered the school, and the student dormitory where I live from today.

My name is strongly enshrined in my mind while organizing various things.

“Ankoro Mochiko”

Aa. Why didn't I rename it properly? Or the default name would have been nice.

When asked for my name by the teacher who entered the hall and lined up the students, I timidly gave my name. Then the teacher looked over the list with no emotion on his face, found my name and told me where to sit.

No matter how one think about it, the strange name didn't seem to raise any particular suspicion in this world.

(Even so, embarrassing it is this is. Ann, let's do it with that.)

I moved to the classroom and found my long-awaited Miriella.

A slim and tall beautiful girl. She has the same hair and eye color as Ed, but unlike him, she has a dignified face that makes you feel the dignity and strength of an aristocrat. Ed looks more like a friendly big dog, but his sister Miriella looks like a classy cat.

First impressions are important.

I don't flatter her, but I want to be close to her.

And when I become friends with her, I want to correct her life's trajectory while ridding her of her high-handed personality.

"Call me Ann okay"

"Yes. Then do call the matter of me Miriella and let's get along."

However, the villain's daughter Miriella gave a gentle smile.

--------------------

“I am friends with Prince Alexis, and we are not engaged.

I don't have any entourage, just a girl friend named Anessa in the next class.”

Question marks dance in my head.

Quite, she's different from the Miriella I know.

Strange. She don't smell like a villain.

Haa! *gasp*

Earlier, I dodged Alexis who was scheduled to collide with me in front of the hall. Maybe it changed the world?!

No no. I think it's too early to make an impact.

I thought about it, but there was no way I could come up with an answer, so I decided to switch.

"Then me, make me Miriella's friend too!"

“e? Yes. ..... With pleasure."

Miriella, who answered with a bewildered look, is unquestionably cute.

Not a face with her eyes and end of eyebrows raised, she would be very cute if she had a face like this, is what I thought.

Grasping Miriella's hand, I end up in high spirits despite my age.

--------------------

"Ankoro Mochi.....ko, san."

A young man with red hair looked at me and soon walked straight ahead.

I twist my head at him wearing glasses, but after a moment I realize. it is Leon-sensei.

He didn't wear glasses in the game, wonder what is wrong. There is a slight gap between the change in Miriella and the "Hachi Rhap" I know.

When I was thinking about the mystery of the gap, I suddenly had an idea.

I feel like Leon-sensei just called out to me before "Ankoro Mochi, ko" with intonation.

I did think "No way," yet the "No way," situation already happened.

What if this person was originally a modern Japanese like me? With that in mind, I couldn't help but ask the question.

"Nee Leon-sensei. Do you know what a convenience store is?"

Leon-sensei loses his strength after a look of shock he gets.

And then the convinced me.

As I thought, Leon-sensei was a person in the same situation as me.

--------------------

Entering May, it became the the-cold-is-no-longer-felt-at-all season.

I was sipping tea gracefully in my room and pening through an open notebook.

This is what Leon-sensei told me.

Living in this world, the knowledge and customs of the previous world will inevitably disappear. That's why it's better to write down the things that are important, it seems.

When I heard that, I wrote down various things in my diary.

Right now, I'm summarizing the differences between "Hachi Rhap" and this world I live in now.

Alexis isn't engaged to Miriella, but he seems to have feelings for her. The game world is upside down, but Alexis doesn't seem to be interested in the heroine.

Same with Ed. he seems to be doing well with his fiancé, whose setting was to be gloomy, in this case, there's no way in some way or other to happen with the heroine.

Leon-sensei is a reincarnator like me.

Only Serge-kun, was the Serge-kun I knew. I guess it's because Leon-sensei didn't have contact with Miriella up to this point.

"Fuーmu"

I scratch my head with a pen and think.

Looking at the clock, it was the appointed time.

I put my notebook in the desk drawer and leave the room. Turn the hallway up the stairs, go ahead and knock on the third door.

"Welcome, Ann. I've been waiting for you."

Miriella, who was wearing a loungewear, welcomed me.

The cat brooch, which is usually attached to the chest of the uniform, is attached to the collar today. 

The one that fits her mood is, it seems that Leon-sensei raised it.

"The talk is what about? Miriella"

Sit facing each other across a small table. After Miriella hesitated for a moment, she boldly opened her mouth.

"I, I. The midterm exams"

"let's calm down a little? Miriella"

It's rare to see Miriella to get so flustered like this.

Looking into the shaking scarlet eyes, Miriella nodded.

"I, you know, after this midterm exam.......。 I'm thinking of telling my Oji-sama about my feelings"

Immediately after saying that, with *howaa* Miriella's cheeks turn red.

Uwawa.

A maiden in love is cute!

Even my face turns red involuntarily.

This is already, I have no choice but to support this, don't I.

Prince Alexis sorry me.

"I see. So you're going to confess."

"Yes."

Miriella took a deep breath and continued.

"Always, I've thought to tell my Oji-sama how I feel once I become a fine lady. But when once a fine lady, will be able to say that I wonder..."

"Un, that's right isn't it."

“Anessa is the same age as me and is engaged, and there are even people who are already married anyway.”

"Un Un"

Having said that far, she shook her head.

"I'm sorry, that's wrong. The truth is that I'm worried. My Oji-sama, who is a teacher, is popular with the female students as well, and he seems to be on good terms including with the female teacher."

"Aー. Well yeah"

"Even though the time when I can only meet my Oji-sama at home, I didn't feel that way, but when I see him at the academy, I feel uneasy it's painful."

"Miriella..."

"I am still, from my Oji-sama's point of view, a child I guess anyway. I think he might not even be conscious of me that way."

"Miriella, it's okay."

Turning from the shy face, the eyes that moisten in a twinkle.

To her, who became unbearably loveable, I leaned forward and gently stroked Miriella's soft hair.

"I, because I will root for you! Nee!" [Tl note no 1]

"Thank you, Ann."

Miriella gives me a laugh.

With a ticklish smile, she gently put her finger on the corner of her eye.

"Oji-sama too you know, he always stroke my head in this way."

"Fufu"

Miriella gave me a serious look when I let go of my hand and returned to my chair. After taking a deep breath, she quietly asks.

"Ann knows things about the game, don't you?"

"e?"

"I heard about it from my Oji-sama."

Well that's right isn't it.

Without denying it, I nodded. Miriella smiled with a sigh of relief, and she rested her back on her chair as if with peace of mind.

“Because I, realized at first sight that you might be the heroine, so at first I was a little scared. If I made this person angry, I could go to jail, couldn't I, I thought."

Miriella looks at my eyes and says "I'm sorry" with a wry smile.

"That's why I was surprised and happy, that you became my friend."

"I'm also happy to become friends with Miriella."

The truth is, there was a time when I wanted to change the personality and life of the villainess Miriella though.

Because that's what Leon-sensei did.

I, will root for the current Miriella.
