It Seems Like I Got Reincarnated Into The World of a Yandere Otome Game Chapter 52 - Volume 4

Extra arc 『The Stage Ghost’s Cappricio』 Chapter 4

I left ho cheerful that day.

My goal today wasn’t to go see a play, but to observe the dress rehearsals.

And Miria herself invited to!

She said, 『We’re already friends, so you don’t have to bring presents when you visit. If you’re interested in our practices, please feel free to co and watch』！

That’s right, I got invited!!

I want to yell it out now.

You can get friends even by assaulting them with gifts! So long as there’s enough sincerity!

With the tarts that my nanny baked for this morning in hand, I headed to the doll opera in high spirits.

As soon as I stopped the carriage in front of the theatre at the ti I’d planned from the start, a youthful man wearing a bright smile imdiately approached .

It was a face that I knew fairly well.

Frandert Vernus. 22 years old.

He’s an acquaintance of Father’s and, since I visit this theatre quite frequently these days, he’s soone who’s collaborated trendously with .

He’s my comrade.

We got to know each other through Father and were very lively on the subject of how wonderful Miria Galant was from the very first eting. Nowadays, he’s taken over the role of my escort — or rather, my guardian, in lieu of my busy father whenever I visit the theatre.

I should’ve departed today with so ti to spare, but surprisingly, he arrived at this place earlier than .

「Frandert-sama. I’m sorry to have kept you waiting」

As I tried to get off the carriage in a hurry, he took my hand and gave a bright smile.

「No no. It’s a little embarrassing, but it’s just that I arrived way too early. I was in such a hurry...」

Sheepishly scratching his head, his facial expression was completely honest.

Although I doubt it’s because he was born in an Earl family that’s famous for contributing to the promotion of local performing arts, his expression changes rapidly like in a play. In addition to his gentle appearance, he has a bright smile and honest nature. With this, I could see why he seems to be loved by won in high society.

Be that as it may, the person himself didn’t have even one bad rumour floating about him and was exceedingly earnest. It seems he has a beautiful fiancee and treasures that person very much.

「Besides, I’m not alone. My fiancee is in the carriage right now」

After he said that, he pointed to a remarkable horse-drawn carriage that was parked.

「Oh! Did the two of you co here today to observe? Would you mind introducing to your beloved?」

I ended up fangirling over the fact that I might be able to et his fiancee who was rumoured to be a beauty.

「No, she has sothing important to do after this」

「Is that so. That’s too bad」

「But if you don’t mind, I’d like to introduce you. She also wanted to et with you」

As we cheerily approached the carriage where his fiancee was boarding, a lady alighted from it.

She was a lively-looking beauty who had a healthy glow on her skin. Her figure which was energetically walking towards us was slender and tall.

（T-that’s unexpected... but so wonderful!!）

This woman, who was barely just shorter than the son of the earl, Frandert, introduced herself as Nilda. The shape of her dress that didn’t have so much as a bulge on her hips suited her dignified figure very well.

I’d heard his fiancee was from a rchant family, but I was taken aback since I was imagining a rich, sheltered young lady. Instead, she seems to be a woman who wouldn’t feel uncomfortable even if she disguised herself in n’s clothes and got on a rchant ship.

「I’m honored to be able to et the duke’s daughter from the rumours」

Her surprisingly soft voice was all the more wonderful.

「Sa here, it’s an honor to et you too. But, “rumours”... you say？ Were they from Frandert-sama?」

「Yes. What’s more, I’m acquainted with your father. It’s thanks to Duke Lilia that we have the privilege of trading with other countries without problems」

I see, diplomatic work had an inseparable relationship with the tradings of rchants who co and go to other countries. She said 『we』 here, so Nilda-san was probably involved in her family business. A working lady. How cool.

「......Thank you very much」

Overjoyed that Father was praised at a place I didn’t expect and by such a wonderful woman at that, I couldn’t stop myself from smiling. Seeing like this, Nilda-san had what looked like a motherly smile.

M-my heart fluttered. Since I don’t really rember my mother that much, I’m weak to being shown these sort of maternal expressions.

「I have so errands I need to do today, so I’ll excuse myself from here. I leave escorting Lycoris-sama to you, Frandert-sama」

「Yes. I understand」

Oohh. So Nilda-san calls her fiance by his na, 『Frandert-sama』, huh? Considering the difference in status, that’s probably natural. But maybe they don’t use honorifics or they use nicknas when it’s just the two of them.

Both of them were smiling brightly at each other, what a sweet couple.

「It’s such a sha I can’t tour together with you, Nilda-san」

What I was saying was no longer lip service as far as I was concerned. I truly wanted to talk with her a bit more. Not giving up easily, I tried asking her 「Is the errand related to work?」. If her errand was sothing that could be finished quickly, then I definitely want to et up with her afterwards.

「No. Today is personal. I’m visiting a tailor shop at the royal capital high street to pick up a wedding dress」

「Oh? Is soone going to get married soti soon?」

「Yes. Frandert-sama and I」

....................ha?

Nilda-san said it like it was nothing. When I glanced at Frandert-sama confused, he scratched his head again looking embarrassed.

「It’s around... oh right, 15 days from now, isn’t it?」

Nonononono.

It’s not ‘it’s around 15 days from now, isn’t it?’, Frandert-sama.

Then what? Does that an he’s visiting the theatre every single day and doing things like acting as my escort when he himself is preparing for marriage in approximately 2 weeks?

「I-if you’d said sothing, I would’ve held back from disturbing you!」

At my outburst, the pair looked at each other.

However, Nilda-san seed to quickly understand my concerns.

「......Ahh. Please don’t worry. I’m just going out to pick up the dress today. Besides, Frandert-sama was the one who suggested to escort you」

That’s certainly true, but...

Eh? Was that really okay?

Seeing that I was unconvinced, Nilda-san continued as if covering up for her fiance.

「Originally, the one who recomnded Frandert-sama to get a hobby was . He’s the type to get completely absorbed in one thing and ends up thinking about that alone. So this is his distraction」

But calling it a distraction was a little... rather, didn’t he get completely absorbed in his hobby of theatre-going?

Nilda-san was cheerful to the very end and didn’t seem to take the situation seriously. Hmm. Was I simply overthinking things?

When I parted with Nilda-san, I began walking alongside Frandert-sama.

I felt that sothing foggy remained in my heart.

Frandert-sama, who was walking beside .

He was my comrade.

That is, this person was 『soone who claims to be a big fan of an actress who’s around five years his junior and frequently attends her public performances』.

...up till now, I hadn’t planned on faulting soone for actions I myself was doing.

But with the news that he was preparing for a marriage with his fiance in two weeks ti added to it, doesn’t it straight up feel wrong...?
