Otome Game Rokkushuume, Automode ga Kiremashita Chapter 49

Yes, this is Kitakami and so many might be wondering why I am suddenly back on the old site? Well, I’ve been kicked from the group just kidding….anyways for those that don’t know (or don’t remember) I actually don’t own the site () but being the namesake of the group I have my say in decisions of course. *scoffs

That aside the reason I’m back here is because of the recent site issues. Our “lovely” master owner demanded asked me to hand over my account since my Jetpack is linked to the site. Long story short hosting side wanted to troubleshoot issues so needed my account.

I actually didn’t need to come back here to post chapters since I could just make another account on the main site…but I honestly don’t trust in the “stability” of the site right now. I don’t want to post chapters and then have them be inaccessible due to downtime; it’s what I hate the most, having mine and the editors’ hard work go to waste since no one can read them. Thus I’m back here until everything gets sorted out on the main site.

As for old chapters, the main site is still usable and hopefully no more problems as majority of issues are “resolved” (don’t know how many times I’ve heard that these past few weeks) but anyways a.s.suming that’s correct everyone should still be able to read/access old chapters on main site. But for now, new chapters will be posted here until further notice.

Chapter 49: Being Good or Bad

I could imagine what she was trying to imply.

n.o.bles look down on commoners. That is generally acknowledged by many people and quite a few people even openly say so.
Even if I am not like that, I have the face of a villainess. So it seems I ended up giving off the wrong impression.

Even if my thoughts are actually different. Thus judgments based on appearance isn't really reliable.

「……Yes, and?」

「……Huh?」

「Your a commoner, and?」

「What, that is……」

「There is no problem so let's go, even seating in the dining hall is not infinite!」

I didn't hear any objections so I lead the way to the dining hall.
But I heard Primera convincing the reluctant Erumeru behind though I pretended not to hear. If I interrupted poorly it will just become even more messy.

Unlike yesterday, there will be many people at the dining hall today.

People like the prince or Student Council use salons where entrance is restricted, the uppercla.s.smen know when it will become crowded so naturally they leave beforehand, so overall it's a good setup.

There is even a menu list in the dining hall. But since the school is rich that is actually quite normal……is what I would like to say.

In the dining hall the menu isn't a "Please order from this" but rather a "Please order from this if you cannot decide or please use it as a reference". So the dining hall also accept orders that are not in the menu.

It is truly ridiculous. It's actually quite absurd in many ways.

And since I am from n.o.ble birth I am not unaccustomed to normal anymore. But let's choose from the menu.

「Ah, over there」

After instructing the waiter we just need to sit down and wait. I found a vacant table with appropriate number of seats.

Yes, I already knew but this is quite the amazing fantasy……no, this world can only barely reproduce scientific innovations I believe? Even if it wasn't so the driving force in this world is magic.

「It's good we were able to find seats……there seems to be fewer people than I thought」

「Many people are using the dormitory messhall or going to Oztown so it's likely due to that. So it's likely it will get more crowded once cla.s.ses fully start」

「I see……perhaps I should bring my own lunch or something」

Because Primera's childhood friend was nearby, her tone was also more relaxed. It's a good trend, so I will refrain from pointing it out otherwise she might stop.

She still seemed a bit dissatisfied and nervous……but it seems she was more nervous instead of dissatisfied.
I haven't been a villainess all those years for nothing, I can easily detect a strained atmosphere.

Even though I am able to do it, Mariabell just charged ahead ignorantly so every day was a trial of endurance. Just remembering it sends s.h.i.+vers down my spine.

However, I cannot just leave things as they are right now.
I want to befriend her if possible, to be honest I feel like I get along better with commoners rather than n.o.bles. Keito's case is special but even if I remove him.

「……I think I will just eat somewhere else after all」

「Eh……?」

While I was thinking about how to start a conversation, Erumeru eye's flickered about as she suddenly spoke up……she started to say something again but then stopped midway.

「Eru-chan, what's wrong?」

「Did you perhaps mean you wanted to eat elsewhere?」

Her request wasn't heard after all……but it seemed like she gave up, perhaps my expression made her feel sick? If so, please forgive me as I wasn't thinking of anything weird or the likes.

「It's not like that……just the surrounding gazes」

Eh, surrounding? So it's not my expression?
I have no idea what she was talking about, but apparently Primera seems to have realized. She had an expression like she had eaten something bitter.

「Primera also realized right?」

It seems I wasn't mistaken about Primera's reaction, Erumeru then continued speaking.
No, but I don't understand what's going on at all? I can't be the only one not comprehending what's going on, right?

「Mariabell-sama is the daughter of the duke and also found the dormant attributes of two people, besides that your also a fiancee candidate for the prince」

「Former」

I am currently not, I will not concede on that part.

「Among the n.o.bles there are people within the top cla.s.s famous……who don't like being around commoners」

The walls between the commoners and n.o.bles. I never thought of myself like that before, the people usually around me are also the type that typically don't worry about what others say.
Oresseine-san, Keito, Keito's father, and many other servants. The people around me are all commoners but since they don't mind those sort of things we're all on good terms. Up until the end of the last round everything was just really horrible, being hated by everyone and even not having a mother……I am really glad I worked hard.

However, I also understand that my surroundings are within the minority. In truth the n.o.bles around me including my father in the past five rounds, and the capture targets were all indulged in themselves.

Thus the lively heroine obtained a happy ending while the villainess came to an ill end, and ultimately the wall between social status also began to gradually improve.

Currently it's before the original story, there is no heroine so ultimately I am desperately trying to break the flag.

That's why Erumeru is worried about my reputation falling by being with her. Though on the other hand.

She is likely worried about involving Primera since we're together by attracting attention, perhaps she might even be thinking that I will become tired of Primera since she has a commoner childhood friend.

Which is of course untrue. Even though I appear composed right now, I am actually cursing from the very depths of my heart. Being a villainess is hard.
However, regardless of the reason and method, I think it's a good thing to worry about your friends. As a person also with a childhood friend, I can sympathize with her.

But only that part alone.

「Isn't Erumeru being excessively self-conscious?」
