An Otome Game’s Burikko Villainess Turned into a Magic Otaku Volume 1 - Ch 2

How weeeeird~

I turned five. In other words, two years have passed since then. But despite that, I still havent woken up from my dream. Since it cant be helped, Ive been continually enjoying and experiencing this world. At the end of the day, its a place like the country of magic that Ive longed for. Its a dream, so no ti will have passed when I wake up right?

Camilles fathers, the Marquis Rhodolites, love for magic has been growing more intense, and hes been working at his current job. But because hes a genius, he pays no attention to things outside his interests(magic). I can understand the feeling of being uninterested in what doesnt interest you, but its a situation where he really is neglecting the matters of his household. It seems his daughter Camille had a lonely childhood.

Up until now hes been imrsing himself in his beloved magic, and was a marquis who was completely ignoring his family and was unqualified as a father, but lately his daughter has started to show interest in magic, so he occasionally cos ho. Their parent-child relationship has been changing for the better At least thats the rumour thats been whispered amongst the servants lately.

Now, when the marquis isnt busy with his job, he teaches magic to his daughter Camille. Its one of the few tis that the parent and child co into contact with each other. As for things unrelated to magic, hes still the sa as ever, though Rather than being indifferent to his daughter, it feels more like he doesnt know how hes supposed to deal with things outside of magic. When he actually does teach magic, hes a very kind father. Hes probably a clumsy person. By the way, when hes busy with his jobs as the marquis, he even sends his subordinates to the estate to teach magic. Despite being five, Im receiving a gifted education. Fortunately it seems that Ive inherited my fathers ability in magic. As expected of my dream; the setting is really convenient.

Now then, today Ill be asking a question that Ive been wondering about for a while now.

Father[/Otousama], is there a magic for straddling a broom to fly, or a magic for riding a broom to fly, or a magic for hanging off a broom to fly?

Its all brooms, huh Theres magic to fly but, why brooms?

It seems that even the idea of flying on a broom doesnt exist in this world. Speaking of which, even in gas theres nothing but cool spells for attack and defence, huh. Is it a matter of appearance?

Wouldnt flying on a broom be cool?

Thats an amusing way of thinking, isnt it? If you used a spell that made things float, you could probably do it But doesnt a broom look too shabby?

My father answers even my foolish questions seriously, so I love him.

Im shocked by your growth in magic, Camille. As expected of my daughter.

At this rate, wont I be able to go to a magic school like the protagonist of that certain film? warts, Im always ready for your invitation.

Camille-sama, its about ti to get down.

In one corner of the marquis residence, fathers subordinate Viscount Soleil Jade, called out for from below. With long, light blue hair and a gentle deanour, hes a man of about fathers age. With a kind looking face, and a slim figure, though it isnt as much as father, hes my type. Guhehe.

Soleil teaches magic when father is busy, and acts as my private tutor(magic coach). Right now Im taking his class, and in the middle of flying above the estate on a broom. Thanks to father and Soleil, Im able to fly quite stably. Even when Im by myself, I straddle my broom and fly about the garden. Once I went outside the estate, but father got angry at super seriously. I guess it cant be helped that as a five year old, my actions are limited, huh

Okay, Im coming downnn!

The broom slowly descended, and I landed on the ground.

Still, youve really been thinking, havent you? Using a broom as a interdiary makes it easy to handle, and most importantly, you can fly quickly while stable, huh.

The one who ca up with it wasnt though~

For a five year old, Im picking up magic exceptionally quickly. Besides flying in the sky, I can create a light or fire, and I can blow leaves with wind. If I put these to use, it feels like I can do even more. Its incredibly interesting.

Soleil who was looking at the little with eyes narrowed in affection has a son about my age.

Hes a really intelligent kid, you know? he always brags.

Hes a stupidly doting parent, but the way he is is very heartwarming.

Is he that cute a kid? It sounds like hed be a pleasure to et~

Hes probably like Soleil, huh~

Itd be nice if I could show him to you. Ill ask Marquis-sama.

Soleil who had taken my half lip service It sounds like hed be a pleasure to et~ seriously, had decided together with my father to let their children et. And so, today Im at their workplace I ca to the royal castle.

I found out after I asked father about it later, but Soleils second son who Im eting today is actually the child of his mistress. Geez, Soleil. Even though you have such a harmless looking face, you sure get busy, huh! Right now hes taken custody of that son from the mistress, and is raising him at his house though. Since its Soleil, I think itll be fine, but it often happens that the son of a mistress feels ashad, sothing like a template in stories, huh? Im a little worried about that kid.

If I rember correctly, there was a character like that in the ga too, huh~ A character who used his past of being oppressed as the son of a mistress, as ntal fuel to climb up in the world, and was attending the sa school as the heroine, as the right hand man of one of the love interests. In the ga, the heroine accepted that characters past, and through consolation, a friendship budded between the two of them. And then following the orders of the K of Hearts, he was the ringleader behind annihilating the Q of Hearts(right now, ). It was horrible treatnt, enough that you could say to him, You didnt have to go that far. The players who enjoyed the ga through the heroines perspective were all cheering Nicely done! though

But well, that has nothing, nothing~, to do with , though~ Probably. Ill probably wake up from this dream before that.

I entered the break room that my father uses during work. A job being a job, the workplace isnt sowhere a child can just wander about randomly. Mn, I understand! I wont do sothing so childish! I have the intellect of an adult, after all! (Even if my brains are chu2)

But Im curious about what kind of job involves magic When I stealthily peeked outside the room, I saw so people who looked like magicians working at the castle. Everyones walking around busily, but unfortunately they dont seem to be using magic. Perhaps its a magicians uniform, but everybody is wearing a sleeveless robe thing. The colours are varied, and at a glance, there seem to be three types; black, red and blue.

Im curious about the clothing too, but what Im even more curious about is that they have sothing like a tattoo running from their face to their arms. In fact, my father the marquis has tattoos on his arm and back as well. I accidentally saw them when he was changing. Let just say that I was definitely not peeking! At that ti, I was like, whoa, you sure cant judge people by their looks and backed away a little, but perhaps a magician is an occupation that requires tattoos. Ill ask him next ti!

And while all this was happening, father and Soleil brought a small boy into the room. He has caral brown hair and cobalt blue eyes, and is a bishounen with an insanely beautiful face. His kind features are a little bit similar to Soleil. Hes dressed in navy blue clothes for going out, in the style of a young noble boy, and it suits him quite well. And my clothes are similar; grape-coloured going out clothes for the daughter of a rich family[/an ojousama]. Reflecting my tastes, its a design with not too many frills, and is neat and cut knee-length.

Soleil pushed the boy forward.

This is my son, Achille, the sa age as you, Camille-sama.

The boy t eyes with and smiled. But it seems that it wasnt a smile from the heart. It kind of feels like the kid in front of is interested in my reaction. Even though hes a little brat, hes evaluating ? How cheeky

It is nice to et you, Camille-sama. My na is Achille Jade.

Ahh I know those eyes Theyre the eyes of a person who behaves with confidence that he has the good will of females. Outrageously, an arrogance, of not believing there to be the slightest chance that a person of the opposite sex would hate him, is just barely hidden.

And right now hes dealing with in a way that hes calculated to be the most attractive to . A little five year old girl with no resistance would probably be bewitched. However, I can see through him. After all, there were n like this around in the world outside of this dream as well.

Handso n who were not only aware of their own facial skills while approaching you full of confidence, but egocentric as well. Theyd thoughtlessly call out to , who was a not bad looking girl, and on top of that, treated like a sitting duck; one in a line of convenient won who they could use to keep up their reputation. For so reason I would often get approached condescendingly by flashy-looking, handso boys. But because Im that on the inside, let state that if they made accompany them, Id have suffered quite a bit. To begin with, the mont they tried to pick up as a candidate for casually playing around with, it was already compleeetely out of the question. Ill refrain from such fruitless relationships.

But still, this Achille boy For him to be able to use his appearance to maximum effectiveness as a kid Hes not going to grow up to be a decent adult you know! However, I wont be done in by the likes of a kid. Dont look down on not-bad-looking high school girls! Hmph! And so, I got worked up about a five year old child. Of course, I didnt say any of this aloud. Well, hes still a five year old child, and the fact that hes been seen through by the likes of a faker like is kind of cute, though.

Its nice to et you. My na is Camille Rhodolite.

I pinched my skirt, and did a little curtsy. However, I decided not to use the pretty face I have in this dream. Its a bother, and to begin with, I cant do sothing so skilful.

Shes an extrely lovely girl[/personage], isnt she, father[/Otousama]?

Achille looked up at Soleil and spoke. Soleil looked at his son fawningly.

Were going out for work, so please play together in this room.

Thats right. Today was a day that Soleil was working, to say nothing of father who holds a supervisory position here. He should be busy today as well. Father and Soleil left the room side by side. Only and this precocious brat were left in the room

Being left in the room with only Achille, I was troubled. In these situations, what am I supposed to talk about? Honestly speaking, Im bad with children. Perhaps because he noticed I was fidgeting, Achille called out to . What are you gunna do if you make a five year old child be considerate for you, !?

I have heard from my father that you are skilled in magic, Camille-sama. That you have already progressed to interdiate magic, for example

Achille talked to with that affected smile from before. Hes unnecessarily close, huh. As expected of a precocious brat.

Just Camille is fine. I an we are the sa age for once, and Im not going to kick up a fuss about your manners, so dont worry about it

Its a pain, so I asked to stop with the keigo. I wonder if Im acting unbefittingly for a lady. But I dont wanna be stiff and formal with a kid, and its just the two of us anyway, so it should be fine.

I heard from Soleil that youre really smart, Achille. Do you like studying?

Achille looked a little troubled, but seemingly accepting my proposal, he imdiately changed to an informal tone.

Yeah, I basically do nothing but study. I was told not to co out of my room too much, so

As expected, it seems that as the child of a mistress, he cant be too bold in doing what he wants. Going out today might be an exception amongst exceptions. If thats the case, I want him to be able to enjoy himself a little

I suddenly caught eye of a few brooms for cleaning in the corner of the room, and my worthless head ca up with a stupid idea.

Since its been so long since youve been allowed outside, wanna go all out and play?

Eh?

I straddled a broom, and beckoned for Achille to co over. Its just the sky, so they probably wont bla us for anything, and even if they do find fault with , were both children so itll probably end with just a light lecture.

Most importantly, its boring to just stay still in this room. It feels like my ntal age is steadily being pulled down to this bodys.

Get on.

I forced the bewildered Achille to sit behind , and I kicked off the ground. The broom lightly floated in the air, and moved towards the outside of the window. I could tell that Achille had caught his breath behind .

The broom vigorously flew out the window. The speed is steadily increasing.

Achille, hold onto the broom tightly!

Unlike the marquis residence, the castle is wide so flying seems worthwhile. You can see the Magicians Building that my father works in below us. The Magicians Building is sothing like a circular tower. Behind the Magicians Building, you can see lots of plants growing in the fields, and they seem to be growing dicinal herbs used for magic.

Camille Where are you planning on heading?

Achille who had cald down again called out to . Geez, it would have been nicer if he showed a more shocked expression. How uncute. And even though I told him to hold onto the broom, why are his arms wrapped around my waist?

Mn~, I havent decided. For now, maybe we should fly a wide lap around the castle.

I see. Then lets try going near where the important people live. If we co too close it feels like well be targeted by the people guarding, so lets fly a little distance away, okay?

That sounds interesting But just where is it?

Isnt it further in?

We headed towards where the living quarters for the important people seed to be.

It sounds like hed be a pleasure to et~ is actually I want to et him, huh. except this is a very common phrase in Japanese. In Japanese, youd recognise this as lip service, but in English it sounds like an actual request, so I had to make up sothing that sounded like lip service.

Soleil (soh-lei-yyh) Achille (ah-shil)
