Chereads / Listen to My Lady's Story ―Villainess Conquest Record― / Chapter 39 - (Chapter 38) The heroine notices the truth

Chapter 39 - (Chapter 38) The heroine notices the truth

"How did this happen..."

Maria sat on a quiet beach under a starry sky where only the sound of the tide could be heard, staring at the horizon in the distance with empty eyes.

Maria, who was supposed to have been taken away by the Kraken by the attack event, found herself on this deserted island.

Luckily, the island was home to so much flora and fauna that food was not scarce, and all other problems could be solved with almost universal magic.

And Maria knew that the crucial rescue would come in a week.

Yes, this is also an event in a real game.

The purpose of this uninhabited island event is to cooperate with the targets who have drifted together, interact with them, and sometimes deepen their love.

That's why Maria is going to have a fun desert island life with Albert and the others this week.

It was supposed to be.

"Oh no..."

She doesn't feel like eating it, so she puts her mouth to the grilled fish in her hand, but Maria frowns at the indescribable taste that spreads in her mouth.

Originally, it was simply grilled colorful fish from the sea, but even this is a better meal for Maria and her friends today.

The sweet fruit, bloody meat, and mysterious soup that gave off a strange smell were tantamount to torture for Maria, who had memories of living in a gastronomic nation in a previous life.

Yes, this desert island life is an important food, clothing, and shelter for humans, but the food is terrible.

In the first place, apart from Maria, the only people on this uninhabited island are the children of royalty and powerful nobles, and of course they are a group of people who have never cooked before.

No matter how versatile magic is, there is nothing you can do about it.

Maria is the only one who can cook simple dishes, but even she doesn't know how to cook such tropical ingredients.

Of course, in the beginning, Maria and the others tried their best through trial and error, but all they were able to do was the aforementioned getemono dishes.

As a result, it doesn't work any further, so I have no choice but to eat the food.

(Why isn't Mr. Crow there in the first place!) )

We know what happened.

Originally, in addition to Maria and the others, Isabella and Crowe were also involved in this desert island, and Crow was supposed to be in charge of the main cooking.

This is absolute, regardless of whether he is on his route or not.

But for some reason, there is no cook because the Crows are not on the island, and Maria and the others end up eating hellish meals.

Naturally, in such a situation, everyone's mood dropped, and there was no time to enjoy the romantic situation.

"Why can't it work out like this!?"

He throws away the remnants of the grilled fish he was holding and bites his nails to suppress his irritation, but it doesn't work.

This is not what "Maria" should be.

Lately, it's somehow different from the game's scenario.

It should have been fine in the beginning, but how did this happen?

It's also strange that the hidden characters' strategies aren't going well in the first place.

Both Dee and Crow are supposed to be here and whisper their love to Maria, but Dee returns to the Empire, and Crow is sticky to Isabella.

(Wait...?) )

In the midst of her frustration and frustration, something caught in the corner of Maria's mind.

Yes, it's an adaptation of the original game's scenario, and most of it centers on Isabella.

In the expedition training, Isabella played an active role in place of Maria, who was originally active, and the hidden characters Dee and Crow were also by her side.

Naturally, Crow isn't on the desert island because Isabella had disappeared before the Kraken attacked.

The rest of the swimsuit store issues were probably also related to Isabella and the others beforehand.

When you realize that, all the events that have been dots up to now are connected.

How could he not have noticed?

It was a mistake to think that Maria was the only one reincarnated.

Isn't this a common story in a previous life?

"It's a villainous Ojou thing... Oh!"

Among the novels that Maria loved to read in her previous life, there is a genre called Villain Princess Mono.

There are several patterns, but the content is basically that the protagonist, who has been reincarnated as a villain daughter of otome game, twists the original scenario with his own specs and avoids his own destruction.

To be honest, I'm not interested in Maria at all in what happens to Isabella, but the problem here is that in this case, the villain's scenario can usurp the heroine's position.

It is not uncommon for the villain daughter to be in the heroine's position for some reason, and the original heroine is eliminated as a villain instead.

Don't do that!

"Fufufufufu.... yes, that's what it is..."

Perhaps Isabella was not the main target Albert, but the two hidden characters who were still before Maria fully conquered them.

They should have been able to capture it, but their events never happen.

If the ending had gone unnoticed, Maria would undoubtedly have been ruined by Isabella's ruse.

However, I was able to find out when Isabella tried to get Dee and Crowe out of extra greed.

"Stupid woman..., I would have missed it if it weren't for the extra greed, but if that's what you're up to, I have an idea."

Isabella was no longer perceived as a convenient guess to color the scenario of the heroine Maria, but a clear enemy.

A mere guessing horse wouldn't have bothered after the game scenario was over, but with Isabella, the reincarnate, alive, you never know what Maria would look like.

For the sake of her own happiness, it was decided in Mary to eliminate Isabella.

"I'm the one who wins!"

Yes, this is already a great war.

Maria and Isabella, the only way for one of them to be happy is to eliminate the other.

Maria's eyes were full of madness, glaring and fighting spirit, looking beyond the horizon.

◇◆◇◆

"In the end, I was only able to enter the ocean at the beginning."

"I can't help it, because you can't play in a sea full of monsters like that."

"Not at all, the knights of that city are useless."

As she swayed in a basket carried by a wyvern on the way back, Miss Isabella, sitting next to her, complains about this trip.

In the end, by the time we returned to the royal capital, the princes had not been found, and the safety of the sea could not be ensured, so the Ojou-sama was only allowed into the sea once.

Certainly, if you can't enter the sea even though you came to the sea, it's no wonder that the Ojou-sama is dissatisfied.

"Not satisfied?"

"No, I didn't say that."

Resting her head on my shoulder, she lightly presses into my linked hands.

In fact, although she complains, the Ojou-sama is not so grumpy.

She spent most of the remaining days in the villa, just superimposing her skin as she wanted, but the Ojou-sama seemed to be satisfied.

"Crow..."

When I was called, I noticed that the Ojou-sama was looking into my face with her eyes up.

It is clear that his eyes are moist and in estrus.

It seems that it was too much to hold him almost continuously for almost a week because he couldn't get in the way.

Originally, there were signs of this, but now the Ojou-sama has become a naughty girl who just by touching me.

Personally, I love young ladies who are in estrus and ask for actions from themselves because their pride as a man is stimulated, but if you think about it calmly, it would be too much to train the daughter of the duke's family like this.

"Ojou, we are about to arrive in the royal capital, so be prepared to go down."

"Well, I can't help it."

It is an invitation from the Ojou-sama, but unfortunately the royal city is already visible outside the window.

When I told her that, the Ojou-sama instantly suppressed the feverish expression she had been wearing earlier, and immediately switched to that of an aristocrat.

The strength of this reason is like a Ojou-sama.

What is there is Miss Isabella, who has become the ideal duchess from any point of view, and the lewd atmosphere that invites the man from earlier is nowhere to be seen.

"Ojou-sama, please take care of your legs."

"yes, I know."

The wyverns safely lowered their baskets into the royal capital mansion, and when I got out of the basket first, I offered my hand, and the Ojou-sama took her hand and slowly descended the stairs provided.

"The city of Mare wasn't bad either, but the royal capital is better after all.

"Ojou?"

The Ojou-sama, who has stretched out as if to unravel her stiff body from sitting down, stiffens as she tries to head towards the mansion.

The slight tremor from the linked hands tells us that the Ojou-sama is unusually nervous.

Looking back at the Ojou-sama suspiciously, an old butler with dull gray hair stood in the middle of the row of servants who greeted them, as if representing them.

"Welcome back, Ojou-sama."

"Chief Butler..."

"It's been a long time, Mr. Crow, I heard that you were seriously injured, but he seems to be doing well."

The old butler's name was Norman Stewart.

He is a member of a family of servants who have served the Duke of Variers for generations, and is the chief butler who organizes the servants of the Duke's family.

The old butler, who is also the master who taught me the basics of being a butler, greets us with the same gentle smile as usual, but I look at Norman with sharp eyes.

Honestly, this chief butler is a normally nice person.

Although he is the head servant of the Variers family, he always takes care of the other servants with a calm demeanor, and he has a good reputation among everyone.

She is one of the few people who cares about the Ojou-sama who is disliked by the servants because of her troublesome personality, and I have been indebted to this person many times before.

Yes, he's not a bad person, and I don't really want to act like this, but the fact that he's here is what scares her so much.

"It's been a long time, does that mean you're here, is your husband here?"

As chief butler, Norman is always by her husband's side, the man who is Miss Isabella's biological father and the head of the Variers family.

Naturally, the fact that he, who should normally be in the domain, is here, and his husband, who is the lord, must also have come to the royal capital.

"Well, just yesterday my husband arrived in the royal capital with us."

「... Hmm."

At Norman's words, the Ojou-sama holding my hand gives me a small shrug.

No wonder, the relationship between the Ojou-sama and her husband is never good.

The husband sees the Ojou-sama only as a tool of political strategy, and in front of such a husband, the usually bullish Ojou-sama can only shrug like a small child and be frightened.

Glancing at the edge of my vision, I stepped forward to protect the Ojou-sama.

I look at Norman and hold her hand to reassure her.

Perhaps conveying that thought, the Ojou-sama squeezes my hand back, albeit slightly.

To be honest, I may be powerless with my husband, but I should still be able to support her.

"Oh..."

Norman rolls his eyes unusually at the sight of us, but soon turns into his usual meek smile.

"Don't worry. My husband is planning to stay at the royal castle for a while and work on political affairs.

I just came here today to get what I need for that."

"Well, then your father isn't in the mansion now, is he?"

"Yes, you're right, Ojou-sama."

Perhaps they didn't see us, but suddenly Norman's words released the tension at once.

Perhaps the Ojou-sama was relieved to know that her husband was not in the mansion, but when she let out a small breath of relief, the strength was released from her tense hand.

"Tell me that first, I'm going, Crow."

Don't pull your arm!"

If my husband was not in the mansion, there was no reason to stay here anymore, so she took me by the hand and ran towards the mansion, and I was dragged by it.

"This is this..., both of you have changed a lot in a little while."

While staring at the back of such a master servant, the old butler who was left behind had a kind smile on his face.

Uninhabited Island Event

An event that occurs when you meet the conditions and choose to play on the beach.

The heroines, who are swept away by the Kraken and washed away on a desert island, cooperate with each other to survive.

Basically, you will be helping each target with your strategy, but what you can do is determined by the status at this point, so if there is an event you want to see, you should think about the swing in advance.

Rescue will come in a week, so you can survive until then, but it's not really that difficult event, so don't worry about it and think about deepening your interaction with the target.
