An Otome Game’s Burikko Villainess Turned into a Magic Otaku Volume 1 - Ch 10

First of all, having so trouble sleeping tonight, so I thought why not translate sothing easy? so I did. Once again (Ive ntioned this in Maou and in the previous chapter), good will is a very, very common Japanese euphemism for like/love.

I have no confidence in myself. And, I hate myself. Because of my position as the prince, everybody around serves as though its natural, but in the end, am I sobody worth doing that for?

From when I was small up until now, Ive had my life targetted. Up until I was five, I almost never left the inner palace. There were a lot of dangers outside, after all. Ojisan was targetting my life after all Those were the reasons. My world was a closed one.

The first friend I made in that small world of mine was my servant Colette. She passed away before my eyes Because of the poison that was in the snacks suddenly brought in by a maid.

The next friend I made was my guard Adolphe. He also died before my eyes When sobody tried to assassinate , he covered .

The third friend I made was my tutor mile. He tried to betray and kill , and was instead killed by my guard.

If I didnt exist, none of them would have died

After that, I decided to try my best to have as few people close with as possible. I was afraid of my heart hurting from the people close to becoming sacrifices. In order to kill , in order to protect , from now on many more people would be sacrificed, and before long my heart wouldnt hurt as much. I thought that that was fine.

Because I avoided creating friends that I could relax around, naturally I had nobody of my age around . I was different to Raiga. My butler was desperate to have quickly make friends of the sa age in order to protect myself, and the children of the King Faction nobles were brought to et but I couldnt get into it. I did think that I needed allies, but I couldnt take action. I didnt have the courage to move, nor did I think I wanted to move. Because of the suspicion of being betrayed again, and the fear of losing sobody again. Even if Raigas followers werent aiming for my life, they diligently picked on . On that day too, I was surrounded by Raigas followers.

In the inner palace, even when they pushed , and tried to get on top of , I didnt even resist. It was always the sa, and after a while, they would probably get tired of it. Each ti, they wouldnt do anything too cruel. If it stayed at the level of children ssing about, the guards wouldnt move. If I endured, for just a little

But the hit I anticipated didnt co.

Heyy! Stop thaat!

Suddenly ca a voice from above my head. At the sa ti that I heard the voice, the boy that tried to mount was sent flying.

What descended from the sky was a pink haired girl and a caral brown haired boy. I stared wide-eyed at their bizarre entrance.

Can you stand?

The boy helped up. The girl was holding back Raigas followers. In spite the fact that there were overwhelmingly more of them. What she used to protect herself was a carefully created, beautiful barrier magic. I had never seen sobody of that age use that. The two of them sat down on the broom, and brought to the Magic Building. I was overwheld from seeing the view from the sky for the first ti. They were children who were beyond expectations in every way, and being with them was fun. It was the first ti I felt that way.

I was at a loss about these feelings in my heart that I felt for the first ti since I was born. At the sa ti, I felt that I want to try talking to them a little, try getting to know them a little. It had been a long ti since I had heard a friendly voice talking to that energetically. Even though I should have already decided that I wouldnt get deeply involved with others anymore. If it was them, would it be okay for them to stay beside ? Would they beco the first allies of my age? My stupid expectations raised its neck.

A sly person like thought to use political power to capture them with my status as the first prince. The days I spent with them were exciting, and filled my heart with warmth. Thats why I had forgotten.

And a regretful incident occurred. That day, I invited Achille and Camille to co with to tour the castle town. It was because I simply thought that it would be more fun with a lot of people. Along with the guards prepared for , I headed to the market in high spirits. No matter how much I regret it, it still wouldnt be enough. Amongst those guards was an assassin.

Achille and Camille tried to get to escape. Camille prepared a broom with magic, and told to escape. But I couldnt move. Wouldnt I lose the two of them? Like the guard who had covered for in the past Thinking that, I beca afraid. I couldnt leave there. In the end, Camille was injured.

With the last of her strength, she killed an assassin, and protected . Even whilst blood was streaming from her stomach. The knife that had stabbed her had lted and dropped onto the floor.

Camille! Camille!

While trembling, I propped her up. Achille applied ergency aid with the healing magic he learnt, but it was all he could do to stop the bleeding and treat the burn. As for , I couldnt use magic at all. I cursed myself for being useless. Im always, always protected by others. Just how many people have to be sacrificed for before Im satisfied? Im so pathetic. I was disgusted with myself for being unable to live without sacrificing others. Even though I was supposed to have understood, before I knew it, I had beco spoilt from the comfortable environnt. I didnt plan on this happening. As I thought, it would be better if I didnt exist. The two of them might part from , but when that happened, I had to resolutely let go of them for their sake, I thought. Seeing their two injured forms was more painful than I had imagined. As long as they were by my side, the two of them couldnt live peaceful lives.

Royce-sama, Royce-sama~

Camille who was in a good mood was frolicking about . Even though she had gone through sothing like that, she followed around even more. A cute, but dependable older sisterly or maybe young sisterly important person to . Her good will towards was open to see, but not even a little amorous, romantic feeling could be see. Thats why I could associate with her without putting any distance between us.

Camille, isnt it bad for you to follow around Royce-sama that much? Like that, Royce-sama cant move about, you know.

Said Achille, nonchalantly parting Camille from . He isnt conscious of it, but he holds good will towards Camille is what I think. Up until now, hes been thoroughly looking after her. I secretly think it would be nice if the two of them paired up with each other. The only one who can take off Achilles poker face is Camille after all, and the only one who can stop Camilles rampages is Achille after all.

Right now Camille is working at the castle as a Red magician, and Achille is working there as an apprentice in things related to the governnt. Far from leaving , the two of them even beca apprenticeships in jobs for my future. Im no match for these two.

I felt that it wouldnt do to stay this way.

I have to graduate from holding these feelings of inferiority about my father the king, and about my cousin, and stop wallowing about in feelings of guilt about existing. So that from now on, Ill be a lord worthy of these two.
