I Favor the Villainess
83. Persuasion and explanation
The practice of service dance continues.
It's time for the college to start, so I just want to take some form during the summer vacation.
"Much better, Mr. Ray"
"It's Lord Claire's whip of love."
"Would you stop saying that!?
"This won't be a problem in terms of health. Just..."
And the chief priest cut off his words there,
"Mr. Ray has no sense of fatality."
Yes, it is.
Me... or the hero doesn't have the talent to dance.
This is something I discover when I dance with the princes in a social setting, but I accidentally forgot.
At that point, I will be dancing with the most likeable prince, but the protagonist will step on the prince's feet many times.
Even though the college has proper social dance classes, it is.
Well, it's a maiden game there, so even if I step on my feet, I'll be done with "Koya Tsu, Hahaha".
Incidentally, Still sees Claire wearing a handkerchief at the end.
Lovely.
"Well, still, I think it's better than it was in the beginning."
"But we don't have that much time."
Master Lily put in a follow up, but Claire is right.
The harvest festival is shortly after the college reopens.
I don't have much time left.
"Well, I can handle it."
"That's where I say it myself, Ray..."
Master Claire is frightened.
Well, that's okay.
I have measures in place.
"By the way, did you gather the number of dedicated dancers?
"Yes. For once, the required number of people has been gathered. After that, we're just going to improve your proficiency."
"I see. Then you're relieved for a moment."
"The seed of concern right now is that Ray may not be able to keep up with his proficiency."
"I'll do my best"
Keep the chief priest's novel in circulation.
That's probably because it's not a problem.
"I'm not gonna let you get out of my hands just because you might not dance in real life, are you?
Master Claire whispered that to me.
"I'll practice properly."
"Is it true? Though I don't seem to see any progress at all for that?
"That's the limit of talent."
This body is really not suitable for dancing.
Even though there is tremendous aptitude for magic and study.
"Master Yu replied."
"They're going to give you a ride. Good for you."
"Really?"
In order to solve Master Yu's problem, I am a certain mischievous.
To prepare under it, Claire had sent a letter to you.
If Yu's reply is no, then everything was broken, but if he says yes, then definitely not.
All I do is do my best.
Then there's the rest...
"The girl's persuasion, I guess."
◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆
"Hey, Misha."
"What?"
Private room in the dorm at night.
Towards Misha, who was writing something to her desk, I cut out an errand like nothing while lying in bed.
"Aren't you going to leave home?
"... what?
Unexpectedly, Misha turns this one around like she said.
Well, that's true, isn't it?
"All of a sudden, what are you saying?"
"No?"
"There's no way."
"Oh, my God."
To my words, "Damn, what is it," and so on, Misha blurts out to her desk again.
"But if I do, what if I can be with you?
"... what do you mean"
"Do you care?
Misha seemed to have been writing for a while, but she eventually stopped her hand and turned this way to see if her focus had shifted.
"Ray, what are you thinking?
"Best Friend Happiness"
"Don't delude me"
"I'm not deluding you."
Yo, come on, and get up with a recoil.
"I don't know if I can do anything about Yu's body."
"How?"
"About the body, as I told you before?
"No, and how are you going to convince the royal palace?
"I won't convince you."
"What?"
I can see a lot of questioning marks floating over Misha's head.
"So how do we do it?"
"Shock therapy"
"... think about it again."
"I don't like people listening."
Though I say I am a hundred percent goodwill.
Though it may be a hundred percent malice against the Royal Palace.
"Actually..."
I gave an overview of my wickedness.
"You... oh, my God."
"But this is all you think you have."
"If they find out you're involved, they'll execute you, too, right?
"I'll do it right there."
……
Misha got a difficult look when she put her hands on her temples as if she had a headache.
"How can you get that far?
"I told you. Even for my best friend."
"That's more than half, isn't it?
"I don't think so."
"Liar. I don't think you're my best friend."
In a tone I assure you, I came a little cocky.
"Why do you say that?
"Because you're not the Ray-Taylor I know."
I got a little upset when I was told.
"Hey, what are you talking about, Misha?"
"The day you enrolled in college, maybe. You're not you anymore."
Not good.
This flow is bad.
"Until then, you were, though you had changed, still within the bounds of a normal civilian daughter. But since that day, you're obviously someone else."
A red eye emitting a cold light shot through me.
"At first, I wondered if the difference in the environment made me neurosis. But thank you. That doesn't seem to be the reason, and there's never any sign of it coming back. I'm sure you've become someone else."
"Misha, do you know what you're talking about?
"I feel like I'm saying something stupid myself. But all I can think of is that."
While Misha was perplexed by her own words, she spoke clearly of reasoning to the end.
"Hey, who are you? Where did Ray-Taylor go that was my best friend?
I thought I couldn't get away with this anymore.
I thought Misha was someone who didn't care much for others, but I never thought she was thinking so deeply about me.
What shall we do?
How can I convince her?
"I'm... Ray-Taylor."
"... that's your answer? Then I'm sorry, but I can't get on with your story. I'm asking you to stop putting Yu in danger."
No.
After all, we cannot delude ourselves.
"Okay. Surrender. But I don't think you'll believe me very much."
"That's for me to judge."
"... right. Then I'll talk. It may sound absurd, but I'll tell you the truth."
"Do that."
Perceived, I decided to tell you everything about myself.
That I remember being someone from another world.
That this world is probably the arena for that separate world of gaming.
That I was reincarnated as a heroine in that game.
That we continue to struggle in this world to save Master Claire.
I told her everything after washing it.
Misha had turned away several times along the way to reveal her surprise, but she listened without blocking the story to the end.
"This world is the game? and the stage of…"
"Can you believe that?
"... Honestly, it's too hard to talk about. The world you were in is a lot more civilized than this, isn't it?
Then Misha bumped into me for questioning me in the story.
With only medieval level scientific knowledge, she seemed to have difficulty understanding maiden games, etc., but nevertheless took the time to explain them carefully.
"... So you're Ray-Taylor, not Ray-Taylor."
"I wonder if it will. I do have memories as Ray-Taylor, but I think the original me got mixed up, so Misha looks like someone else."
……
Then Misha held her mouth to think a little.
I'm sure you're inquisitive about the veracity of my story.
It wasn't until a while before she opened her mouth again.
"In this world, there's gonna be a revolution, right?
"Yeah."
"If that happens, the royal family will vanish"
"Yes."
"... yes. Then my answer is yes."
Misha corrected her residence and turned to me.
"I'll help you. I believe what you say."
I collapsed into bed with too much relief.
"Hey, hey, Ray"
"Good..."
"Were you that nervous?
"That's right. If you don't believe me, I'm completely out of my mind."
"So is that."
Misha continued, though.
"Your words will match all the things you've done."
"For example?"
"With test scores? You weren't a kid who could study so much."
"Wow, that's a disgraceful way of believing -"
So, did Misha stare at me from that point on?
"There's more. That I detoxified the poison of the Nah Empire."
"You're Canterella. Yeah, I'm glad he's a real reincarnator."
Otherwise, Lady Sein is not in the world at that point.
"But well, I'm glad you believed me. Misha is surprisingly soft."
"Unexpectedly what? Besides, I don't think your story is that incredible to anyone in this world, is it?
"What do you mean?
"I wonder if your world was kagaku...... And because of that, I guess the idea is that reincarnation is non-kagaku, but there's magic in this world that's the best of that non-kagaku thing, right?
"... oh"
Is that what you mean?
In short, we have different common sense about strange things.
Paranoid B if they say he was reincarnated in the original world, but not in this world.
Because the paranormal phenomenon of magic is everyday, if you're told you're reincarnated, but your muscles are through, you probably think so.
"In fact, there is a saying in this world that the spirit is lost."
"Ah, you did"
The stray of the Spirit is an ancient legend in this world.
Sometimes people appear in this world who don't know where they came from.
And that man has a special power.
"You would have, too, wouldn't you?
"Yeah."
It is because of this that the protagonist possesses extraordinary magical powers.
The Taylor family's parents are actually stepfathers and mothers with no blood connection.
Still, they adored me as a real daughter.
"Well, that convinced me a lot. Thanks for talking to me, Ray."
"I'm a little neat, too. Sometimes."
"Really? Well, then, it must have been tough for your parents, right?
"To?"
"Heh... No way, you, you haven't told your parents this yet?
"You didn't?
Misha held her head.
Is that it?
Did I say something weird?
"You should explain that to your parents first."
"Oh, yeah?
"That's right. Didn't they say anything on the way home?
"Hmmm...... especially"
"... if you ask me, Ray's parents were a lot of people."
Misha stabbed me with a nail.
"You've been a little late. You're still practicing your service tomorrow, aren't you? Are you okay?"
"Yeah. I'm gonna put myself to sleep today."
"I'll wake you up in the morning, so you should. Good night."
"Good night."
Drop the light on the lamp and lie down on the bed.
When I used a watermagic sleep on myself, the sleeper arrived immediately.
I was supposed to talk about myself unexpectedly, but now I also get Misha's understanding.
Later we just wait for the production.
Well, will it work?
No...
(Absolutely, make it work)
In the midst of all this, I firmly swear so.
