Reincarnated into an Otome Game? Who Cares! I’m Too Busy Mastering Magic!

◇ (Gabriella perspective)

"Mother, you've got something amazing. Oh, I want to show you soon!

I run with exasperation. I didn't mind the maid telling me I was behaving badly.

The demonic stone that Kirsche stole from that abominable Alice, according to Kirsche, seems to be a windy demonic stone engraved with letters similar to rune letters.

When I actually glorified the magic, it caused a powerful wind.

Though I don't know if it's his reincarnation cheat or the Auculus family heirloom, it seemed like something I could call Mother's delightful "achievement".

Generally speaking, magic in this world is complicated and cumbersome.

It's hard to remember long spells, wrong combinations don't activate, you have to consume material or you have to write formations, it's boring with all the rules.

I enjoyed watching the animated spell chanting scene or something, but I couldn't if they told me to understand myself.

Except with this demonic stone. With this, you can use flashy magic just by caging your magic. That sounds very protagonistic.

I can't forgive you for monopolizing this. It's not what heroines and other protagonists do to have amazing technology to themselves.

It's the heroism that makes the statement that we should all use it equally.

So quickly, I walked out of school and came to report to the Villandell Upper Mansion, but my mother didn't quite use her time.

Perhaps you are still angry because it touched your mother's scales that put the time of special research activities on the salon's activities.

I told him not to study, I don't know why, but I do think he said, "Sense public movements" or "Read the trends around you carefully".

How could I have been told if an adult like that would have done it?

Anyway, he said he'd finally see me only thirty minutes from now, so I came to see your mother with the Demon Stone.

Knock on the room and wait for your mother to react. When she asked me to come in, my mother sat at the desk and wrote the papers.

In the Villandelle family, it seems your mother does most of the stewardship. I don't know where your father usually is, but it was convenient for me not to be home because I didn't want to believe that such an incompetent man seemed to be my own father even though he was reincarnated because of it.

A mother who does her job well is cool.

"Didn't I tell you not to contact me until I could make a decent report?"

That's what your mother said without looking up. The heart beats to its sobering voice.

Unlike my mom in previous life, my mother in this world rarely laughs at me. And the words are very cold.

But this is your mother's love. That's what I've been thinking lately.

At first, I thought, "Love me as kindly as your mom." But it was different in the first place.

'Cause Ala's mom was sweet, but she never got mad at me.

When I hit a kid I didn't like and injured him, or when I said, "I'm not going to school anymore because I'm in trouble," he just smiled and said, "Okay, that's okay."

I remember reading about that in an online comic book that it's like a kind of "parenting abandonment" too.

I thought you weren't stupid then, but now I can tell you.

My current mother is a little different from my old mom, but she does love me, so cold and tough.

It's supposed to be. Otherwise, it's weird.

If not......

... Anyway, this is how your mother is ghosting my heart, so I want you to show me your accomplishments quickly and get compliments.

With that in mind, I took out the demon stone while watching your mother's trends.

"Mother, I brought you something quick and good! Take a look, this demon stone!

Mother finally looked up and looked at this one. Icey pale eyes turn this way.

From time to time, I showed the demon stone.

"When you cage magic in this, you can have a strong wind without a spell!

That's what I say, I raise my demon stone and cage my magic. I wanted to show you the cool part, so I caged it out of my mind.

But I wouldn't even say yes.

Funny, I had success when I snuck up on it.

I have eyes for my mother. I felt more and more cold sweat.

"… when will it be activated"

"Please wait! Now!"

Let me cage my thoughtful magic again. But now after a pale glow, Bisili made a noise and a big crack in the demon stone.

I can see it turning pale myself. As she was about to be swallowed up by a feeling of impatience and anxiety that she couldn't help, her mother whispered a gentle cat.

"Well, how awesome. Beautifully glowed."

Eh, and look at your mother's face with anticipation. And I immediately regretted it.

"So what kind of research have you discovered that's so wonderful?"

"Ah."

... A mother with such a horrible face as I had never seen, was staring at me.

I have to say something, something.

"Ke, research. Um, everybody, gather in the room, damn, so."

"Your behavior is monitored to a certain extent... I wonder if you did."

"Huh."

When I asked her back as she solidified to Kathikochi about what she was talking about, her mother made a low, scary voice that she had never heard.

"Stupid, such as letting your side work stealing directly. Do something that's easy to put on your feet like that. I wonder what you would have done if your enemies had tied your sides to each other?

"Hih......!?

It caused a reflexive scream in the first bottom-cold voice I ever heard. Mother continues.

"You are my successor. He who succeeds me. That's why I don't want you to have this idea like a whore at the end of the day."

I don't understand half what your mother is saying.

Mother took me out of her sight and sighed.

"I thought giving you an excellent pawn would make it better, but that was a mistake.... Kirsche is on your side only as a pawn. In times of need, they are made to follow instructions without any problem, even if they are perceived to be incorrect in the circumstances or ethics. Though I should have said so first."

Kirsche? What did Kirsche say?... Speaking of which, before school, I felt a mess like that from someone at home, but at that time I was full of my head and barely listening to the anger that had plundered Johan.

"I don't know if I'm fit or not, so I left it for a while... but if you let me use my time for this crap again, think there's no next time"

There were no words.

Next? What do you mean there's no next?

My mother, who had me brought out to the maid who couldn't move, didn't even look at me then.

They sent me back to my room, I dived into bed. Put the blanket over your head and hold the tremor in.

Why, why are you saying such a scary thing? No matter how much love, it's very hard. Oh, it's hard and hard.

How pathetic, I...!

This happened, yes. Because no one stopped me.

Now I see there's a reason Kirsche can't rely on me... but yes, why didn't Nicholas stop me?

... No, I did say something messy about whether I should stop or not.

In the first place, I've been complaining a lot lately about what I do with something.

That's what happened then. I've been trying to stop Johann's substitute from putting his ideas at risk, so come on.

I slapped him, tied him up, told him everything, and then locked him in the room for a while.

That's right.

Nicholas didn't stop me more properly then, so this is how I got mad.

Nicholas made your mother angry.

... Yes, this is because of Nicholas!

I grew more and more angry when I was so sure. Now what kind of punishment shall I give him? And if you don't do something painful and miserable, I'm sorry.

Just the same sadness and pain I felt. No, I need to give you something tougher.

And now we have to do it right.

This is not the same as winning eight bullies. Education. So I can't help but do something a little worse. Just imitate what your mother is doing to me.

Good hurries.

I jumped out of bed and called for your maid.
