Endo and Kobayashi’s Live Commentary on the Villainess

After school just one day after the entrance ceremony.

Fine was desperately distracted from a girl walking in the middle, lying face down in one corner of the classroom.

Please, don't look at me.

Please, don't try to speak to me.

Obviously, I feel like I'm on my way here, but I feel like my classmates are saying something like, "That common man did it again," but I hope it's your fault...!

No, I didn't do anything today...!

So, it's probably okay... I hope so!

Like betraying Fine's prayers, one girl, Marquis Rezelotte Refenstal, stopped walking right in front of Fine.

Fihne-san, may I have a moment?

"......! Yes, yes! Of course! I'm always free!

In response to Rezelotte's query, Fine stood up instantly, trembling but loudly.

Rezelotte raised her eyebrows and pointed out in a quiet voice to Fine, who stood up with the momentum to knock down the chair.

"It's not like you're a lady to move so fast."

Fine lowered her head as she trembled. His face is pale and he is clearly afraid of Rezelotte.

Rezelotte sighed as she even felt humbled.

"Well, that's fine. If you have time, could you come and talk to me?"

That's what Lizelotte said, walking around, turning her back, without waiting for Fine to respond.

"Ah, hah, yes!

Where to go, what to do, what to do.

Though she didn't know anything about it, Fine replied cheerfully and slapped after Rezelotte's back.

Rezelotte frowned again for a moment on a leg that could not be said to be elegant, but this time she swallowed up the words and proceeded with a beautiful example.

I don't want to scare Fine any more.

Acts like complaining to people in public are not very expensive in the first place.

Fenne, who didn't know the inner feelings of Lizzelotte, was more and more frightened by the silent Lizzelotte and headed to the conversation room of the school.

――――

Here at Royal Magic School, there are several conversation rooms.

From the big ones that can fit dozens of people, to the small ones that are perfect for enjoying tea time with a couple of people.

In addition, although outsiders are basically prohibited from entering the campus, there are exceptions to the conversation rooms that are used not only to interact with insiders, but also to welcome visitors from outside.

It seems that even servants and merchants can enter the conversation room if they apply in advance.

School students are all nobles or royals, except one, so they use it when they need to ask something from outside.

Even though he had heard such stories, only one (Fine), who had never even stepped into the compartment lined up in the conversation room, was following Rezelotte's back as he stared around.

Is that an excuse for not noticing?

"I've been expecting you, Miss Rezelotte."

When Rezelotte stepped into one of the smallest chat rooms, the elderly maid of the Refenstar family said so and lowered her head deeply.

Fihne was swimming her gaze at the maid's greeting as if she had been integrated with the wall, and at the door behind her, which was closed without a sound by someone who didn't even feel a sign of it.

But Rezelotte nodded lightly and called out to the maid, thinking that they were only natural.

"Thank you, goodbye. Let me introduce you, this is Fine."

"Ah, ah... nice to meet you! It's Fine!"

Suddenly, the maid smiled softly and greeted Fine with a lowered head.

"Nice to meet you, Fine. Well, as I told you, you're a lovely person."

"To...?

Did you listen to me? From who?

As if such a question were written on his face, Fihne's ears could hear a little cough of Kohn and Rezelotte.

Fihne corrects her posture with a giggle, and the maid giggles.

Looking lightly at such a maid, Rezelotte gave Fitney instructions with her tight expression.

"Fihne-san, call you first."

"Eh, hah, yes!

Shhh! Fihne sat on the sofa in the conversation room with such a noise, and Rezelotte sat on the sofa opposite the table with a loose seat.

After a quick sip of the tea prepared by the maid, Rezelotte cut out the subject.

"I called you here because I wanted to ask you something."

"Yes, I'm sorry!!

Not long before Rezelotte asked a question she wanted to ask, Fine shouted and sat down on the table and on her own cup of tea.

"Um... what are you apologizing for?

That's what Rezelotte said, leaning her neck in a bewildered manner.

Fine, who apologized reflexively without even knowing it, thinks desperately with her head down.

What the hell are you doing this time? I wonder how far you've been called.

I don't know Fine.

No, but only when you are ordered or reprimanded, such as when Fihne, a commoner, can speak to the sons and daughters of the aristocrats who come here.

Among them, Lieselote Liefensthal, who seems to have a very high status in the school, often [guides] Fine as a position to guide the students.

So, Fihne, who thought this would be the pattern again, came in from an apology.

I came in from an apology, but I still have no idea.

Thinking about what she had done, Lizzelotte sighed in silence at Fine.

"Speaking of which, I've been worried about you for a long time, but you always said“ I'm sorry ”to everyone. I don't mind Fihne-san and I being colleagues, but I was wondering if“ I'm sorry ”would be more appropriate for the person at hand."

"Yes, I'm sorry...."

Lizelotte strokes her temples as if she were suffering from a headache to Fihne, who reflexively said an apology.

"So, what exactly are you apologizing for?

"No, I don't know... But maybe I've done something wrong again.

When Fihne confessed so frankly, Rezelotte bent her neck.

"Oh, do you have any idea?

"No, I mean... if there is, I'm sure it's not soft..."

Fihne answered bluntly, and when she heard it, Rezelotte nodded deeply.

That's true. So, there's nothing to be done. It's not as easy as lowering your head. Show me your face. "

Fine, who said so to Rezelotte, perhaps raised her face.

With a small shrink, Rezelotte exhaled at Fine, who finally showed his face. Then stare straight at her and ask.

"Hey, Fine, why don't you wear a standard uniform?

Asked, Fine looks back at her outfit again.

Today, or today, it's still a school athletic outfit. I'm wearing a robe on top of this during class.

The costume that Fihne has been wearing since she entered this school.

"Well, I told the teacher that standard uniforms are just standard uniforms, so you definitely have to wear them. The rules say," During class hours, you must wear a school robe. "That's why...."

Rezelotte sighs back to Fine, who accurately reflects the school's dress code.

"I see. That's what it says. However, the reason for this is that the children of a noble or royal family like me can dress in a manner that does not damage their integrity.... like you, you can't always imagine a female student in athletic wear!!

"Hyah! I'm sorry, ah, no more!

When Rezelotte slammed the lightning, Fihne lowered her head in agony.

As soon as I said I was sorry, Fine remembered what Rezelotte had pointed out earlier.

When she saw it, Rezelotte said with a faint voice after breathing because it was light.

"I appreciate your honesty in fixing what you pointed out right away. But I think it would be even better if you could take a closer look at your surroundings and be aware of them before they point you out."

"Ah, no, I thought everyone would be watching this outfit. Some people taught me that it was very gentle and strange to go far away...."

Rezelotte frowned clearly at Fine's words.

After seeing it, Fine smiled at random and continued to make excuses.

"But look, that standard uniform is expensive. That's why I couldn't buy it. I mean, I just bought this athletic outfit that I could manage to buy, and I ran out of money...."

"Some girls, like me, come in dresses in civilian clothes. At least if you're a skirt, why are you all wearing exercise clothes?

"No, even if I wear other clothes, the finest sportswear I have is this. Besides, if it's me, you'll wear it during practice, so I wonder if it's still floating...."

"It's floating. [Thoughtfully]"

Fenne, who was cut off by Rieselotte, was finally stuck in her words, silently lying down.

"Well, I understand. I mean, you're not wearing those clothes because of your obsession and beliefs, are you?

"Eh, ah, yes. That's right."

Fine nodded honestly back to Rezelotte's question.

After seeing it, Lizzelotte repeatedly asks.

"So, if you're ready for standard uniforms, you're going to come to school in your uniform, right?

"Eh!? No, I can't. Isn't that really expensive? Two months for a family of four in one dress... no, if you work hard, it's worth three months' worth of food. Besides, I've heard that the fabric is different between summer and winter clothes....."

"I am not talking about the amount right now. I'm asking you how you feel. If you had a standard uniform, would you wear it?

"Well... that's cute, and I think I'd like to try it on."

Hearing Fihne's answer, Rezelotte nodded satisfactorily.

Then she glanced at the maid, and the maid walked out a long time ago, and placed a large box that she had been holding on to on the desk between the two.

"... what is this?

Fihne leaned her neck into a large box that was apparently placed on her side.

"I don't know if you know me, but I'm the so-called Marquis. It is also the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Reefenstahl, who is close to the royal family among the Marquis."

Leaving Fihne's question unanswered, Rezelotte suddenly said so.

"Hee?... well, I know."

Fenne nodded impatiently, but there was a puzzling color in her expression.

Rezelotte ignores it and continues indifferently.

"Besides, my fiancée is His Royal Highness Prince Siegwert."

"Ah, yes, I know."

"That's why I'm determined to be the most talented woman in the country in the future."

Ah, it seems so.

"Even though I'm supposed to study at school regardless of my status, I still see things from around me, and I have a lot of clues."

"Um... it's hard, isn't it?

"That's why I can't wear the same uniform as you."

"Oh, I see! Hee, that's right."

It seems that a series of vague bragging stories have finally returned to the subject of uniforms.

So convinced, Fine nodded with a bright expression.

Rezelotte moisturizes her throat with tea before continuing.

"But I also tried to make a standard uniform once. My parents, or mainly my mother, said," I want to see what I'm wearing. "Well, it's kind of like a commemoration when I joined this school."

"Heh... that's nice..."

That's what Fine said, enviously.

Neither the Marquis Marquis nor His Royal Highness Prince Wang's fiancée seemed particularly envious, but she revealed herself enviously.

Feeling a certain yearning for uniform in her voice, Rezelotte turned into a softer voice and told her.

"I mean, that's the uniform I'm not wearing anymore. If you want it, I can give it to you.

A standard uniform lay in a box opened by a maid to respond to Rezelotte's words.

"Heh!?... ah, really! Uniform, uniform! Wow, so cute!

The moment Fine said so, Lizzelotte gently pressed her mouth.

Only one good maid could see it in the form of a smile.

So Fihne's gaze is fixed on the uniform.

"You'll see it's a uniform. It's not that noisy. Anyway, answer quickly whether you're here or not!

While holding her mouth down, Lizzelotte said she felt tingling.

Asked Fihne, she slightly wandered her gaze and perhaps opened her mouth between the angry expression of Rezelotte and the absurd uniform.

"No, that's right, I'd like it if you could. But this is not a price that you can easily take....."

"I told you it was unnecessary for me. I can't afford it."

"But...."

The maid calmly called out to Fine, who seemed confused again.

"Actually, I've already re-tailored it to Fihne-san's size, so Miss Rezelotte can't wear it anymore. If you don't like it, please take it."

"Heh!? Ah, ah... sure, this might not be enough length for Mr. Rezelotte."

Rezelotte's slender, tall, crispy body shape, her childish body shape, and uniform. Fenne admitted it as she glanced at them.

"Originally, the design of standard uniforms doesn't really suit my hobbies. You'd be too cute for me anyway, wouldn't you? So, even if it was before the tailoring, I was going to throw it away after my mother was satisfied."

Lizelotte said so with a squeamish expression, and when she heard it, Fine reached out to the box with the uniform.

"... but I can't thank you enough for this..."

However, Lizzelotte glanced at Fine, who pulled her hand in while saying so.

"Did I look like a lowlife, even asking for a reward for just picking up unnecessary items?

"Eh!? Uh, no, I don't think so, but I'm really sorry..."

Fine tried to keep her mouth shut.

Lizelotte screams as if she were scolding Fine.

"Anyway, if you don't want it, take it! If you stay the same, I'm in trouble too! If there are such a sleazy girl student, I doubt the quality of my school!

"... ah. Yeah, right. Well, if you keep these clothes, you could be in trouble... It's ugly, right?"

Fihne lied to Rizelotte's strong words.

As she lowered her head even deeper from that slender look, she continued.

"Um, I'm sorry, I don't have enough ideas.... I'm happy with my uniform. Thank you very much."

"Apologies are not required. You shouldn't behave so humbly. Show me your face."

When Rezelotte ordered with a hard voice, Fine gently raised her face, but still had a humble smile.

"Ah, already! If you say you're glad to be lying, laugh as you always are! Nobody despises you because you treat yourself like that! You're the best, at least as a warrior!!

When Rezelotte shouted as if she were angry, she stood up vigorously.

"Um, um..."

Regardless of what I had to say, Fine, who had her apology sealed, was just confused.

Lizelotte, staring down at Fine like that, said with a grumpy expression.

"If you wear the uniform I give you, don't round your back to avoid wrinkles on your clothes. That way, you'll look a little like a student at this school."

Lizelotte turned her back and tried to get out of the conversation room.

"Ah... well, thank you! Take care of your uniform!

When Fine raised her voice to Rezelotte as she left, Rezelotte nodded back only once, told the maid something, and then quietly left.

The remaining Fine gently stroked the fabric while staring at the apparently new uniform.

"Wow, what a nice fabric... I wonder why this touch comfort is so strong that it feels safe anymore... I don't know, but it's definitely a good one...."

Fihne gently touched her uniform with a bump, and the maid of Rezelotte called out with a soft smile.

"Now, Fine, let's try this on. It should fit your back, but you should make some fine adjustments."

"Heh!? Oh, no, that's enough!

"No, because if you don't do what Miss Rezelotte tells you to do, I'll be forced to do it. I thought I'd help this old man. Come on, come on."

The maid who raised Fine with extraordinary strength that did not suit her relaxed tone crushed Fine's objection with a fluffy smile.

"Well, nobody's coming here anymore, so don't worry about it."

"Ah, ah, I'll get dressed myself!

"This is also my job."

"It's okay! I can wear it alone!... here, I'm wearing it!

"Well, it looks really good on you. Perfect for Fine's lovely atmosphere. I see..."

The maid looks at Fine, who has been slightly forced into uniform, from a variety of angles, and writes down in a note what to put on the measure.

Some tired expression on Fitney's face stayed there for a while.

"Oh, good. That kind of adjustment seems necessary. First of all, I will be able to deliver it to Fine's residence by tomorrow morning."

Eventually Fine leaned her neck to the words of the maid with a relieved expression.

"... first? One?

"Yes, I have two more winter clothes and three summer clothes. I will match them to Fihne-sama's size and deliver them later."

Fine glanced at the maid's outrageous remarks.

"No, I can't get that much! I'm scared to wear one, but I don't need that much!

"Really? However, my daughter has already ordered me to do it, so even if you tell me..."

"Hee, I'm in trouble! Ah, so, Master Rezelotte, you just disappeared!?

"Oh, no, I realized that was an exaggeration, and I thought it was awkward and ran away. My daughter is really clumsy, or she's not good at living....."

Phew, Fihne opened her mouth to the maid who exhaled a distressing sigh.

"... I don't really know, but it seems very difficult."

"Fufufu, that's not true. The young lady is cute. I am worried, but I am truly happy to serve that person."

Fine is skeptical of the maid's expression “cute”.

The maid smiles back at her.

"You're really cute. Fine, if you treat your daughter without fear, you will understand. Please get along with him."

"No, no, I don't like being intimate with you!

"That's not true."

"Yes! Even now, every time I go into that person's sight, I'm staring at her."

"I'm not staring, I'm just staring."

"That's not true! They're staring down at me and they hate me!

"Well, did the lady say that?

Asked with a neat expression, Fine was stuck in her words for a moment.

"... no, I wasn't told... But I'm sure I hate to look at it, because I'm not sophisticated. Rather than“ getting along ”with such a beautiful person, it might even be interesting to get close, but, ah, it might help..."

A warm maid's hand was gently attached to Fine's back, lying face down.

"That's not true. It's so adorable. The young lady said so too. Fine-sensei should be smiling with a more grandiose chest. That way, standing next to your daughter won't underestimate you."

"... no matter how hard I try, I think it's inferior. But, of course, you can't wrinkle this nice uniform!

The maid returned a happy smile to Fine, who stretched out her spine and smiled.

――――

About five months have passed since then, just after Fine became an adoptive daughter of the Reefenstahl family, the summer vacation is almost over.

Fine was packing with her mother Elizabeth in a room at the Marquis of Reefenstahl in King's Landing.

"Let me have everything I need and everything I need! In the presence of Josephine, believer of Elizabeth and adoptive mother of Fihne, who proclaimed,

"Speaking of which, what is it? Why did Fine play so poorly? You hardly have any luggage. I heard you even got your uniform ready for me..."

Elizabeth asked Fihne that on the wipe.

"Poor play, or were you actually poor... Sure, Rezelotte, I'm sorry to bother onee-sama..."

When Fine says that to her, Elizabeth wrinkles her neck softly.

"But, Mom, you told Fine to keep a jewel that she could sell at a reasonable price," she said. Please attach a map of the shop that says you can pick it up for a decent price.... you didn't take it back properly?

Fenne immediately shook her head, feeling danger to her mother, who was creating a keen atmosphere towards the store.

"Yeah, I just don't sell it. I didn't even step foot in that store."

"Eh. Why? No way, did you like it so much that you wanted to keep it with you all the time? That tough Pigeon Blood? Oh, that doesn't suit a young girl like Fine very well...?

Asked again and again by Elizabeth, Fihne turned away and confessed with a shy expression.

"No, because... that was the only thing my mom left me. If I sell it, I feel like my connection with my mom will break...."

"Eh, that's good! Did you hear that, Josephine? My daughter is so cute!

Elizabeth shouted with excitement.

Josephine nodded with a serious look when asked for consent.

"I heard. That means you can give Miss Fine another cash gem from me like a mountain so that her precious Pigeon Blood can be kept safe!

Fine opened her eyes to the slanted suggestion, but Elizabeth nodded with a smiling expression.

"That's right. Fill up with gems you can use normally!

"You don't usually use gems!

That's what Fine shouted, but Elizabeth laughed at it lightly.

"Ahahah, it's okay, I'll get used to it! I mean, if you're going to be Marquis Reefenstahl, you'd rather get used to it. So that you can get used to luxury as soon as possible, Josephine, would you say hello?

"Hmm, leave it to me. I'll give you my best!

Elizabeth says more and more dramatic things, and Josephine responds strongly to them.

Fine, who had her head on the runaway of the two mothers, split between them and screamed.

"Please don't! In general, Josephine-san always does too much! All of a sudden, I say all my possessions, and even to Master Rezelotte, I put on six uniforms that I wouldn't wear...."

"Wait, I only had one uniform tailored for Rezelotte?

When Josephine objected, Fine paused.

Fine, who slowly twisted his neck, asked Josephine.

"... eh? Master Rezelotte, did you say that all the uniforms you gave me belonged to Master Rezelotte...?

Josephine shakes his head loosely, and tells the truth calmly.

"That's right, I don't have many clothes I know you won't wear in the future. I just made one for you to wear and paint. Everything else must have been tailored just for Miss Fine from the beginning."

"... that means onee-sama ordered five uniforms for me, a commoner who didn't know I was related at the time."

When Fine confirmed so, Josephine nodded and agreed, and Elizabeth supplemented with a smile.

"Also, I said that you were back and unnecessary so that Fine wouldn't get sick. Oh, love!

"I'm going to thank onee-sama again! While apologizing for the waste I was afraid of at the time!

Though Fihne, who had changed her complexion, tried to rush out immediately, but after remembering Rieslotte's guidance this summer, she left the room on an elegant early walk of the line.

"The Lefenstars are rich, but they like to serve people they like in the first place, right?

While looking away Fine's back, Elizabeth asked Josephine next to her.

Well, I guess so. After all, this house was built with dedication to the royal family. In other words, this is even the instinct of Liefenstal. Therefore, my instinct is to contribute to Josephine. "

Josephine opens her mouth as she pinches Elizabeth's cheeks, which she has identified with her true face.

"No, no, Josephine wasn't born here, was she? You know, before you married this house, you tried to send me a hairspray from the royal family saying," Elizabeth looks better. "

"Ah, that was angry with a lot of people. But because that was the consideration for Elizabeth's painting, I take it for granted that Elizabeth had it...."

Josephine, who still didn't hear the sermon of [various people], said so with a dissatisfied expression.

"No, whatever else, I really have to thank the royal family for what they gave me...."

"I've had short hair since then, but I don't like the sense of sending hair decorations."

Elizabeth smiles bitterly at Josephine, who said so clearly.

"Josephine-chan is really Josephine-chan. Well, to be honest, I can't say strongly because I was saved by Josephine's extreme patronage....."

"What did you do to help?

Oh, Elizabeth nodded with a smile on Josephine with her neck.

"I couldn't resist taking my precious metals out of the house because I had a lot more of them in my personal possession than at home. I'm sorry I sold it, but thanks to you, I didn't starve my parents or my children. Thank you. Which one of you would be happier, Josephine?

"Thank you so much! There is no need to apologize for the jewels that once enjoyed the honor of decorating Elizabeth's body, or for the happiness that I was able to put in the picture by looking at it. Rather, Elizabeth and Miss Fihne were fed. I'm the one who has to thank you!

Elizabeth smiled sharply at Josephine, who said so with a smile on her face.

"Josephine-chan, it's really Josephine-chan!

"... and because this love is too heavy for my mother's daughter, I wonder if Lizzelotte is doing too much..."

Elizabeth spoke to herself with a sleigh, and her daughter's mother, a loving patron and caring mother, simply returned a proud smile.
