I Favor the Villainess Chapter 1

"It's the lowly commoner's role to arrange the desks for me, know your place!"

When I came to my senses I was suddenly in a situation I don't understand well.
A girl with blonde curls is staring over here with irritated eyes.

Okay, calm down me.
There's no reason to panic.
Let's ascertain the situation calmly.

Looking around, what came into view is a room like a high school classroom.
Compared to the high school I used to attend, with a small number of desks it gives off a spacious impression.
There's a crowd of girls with curls surrounding me at a distance.

The problem is, everything that comes into my sight, including the girls, is without a doubt not Japanese.

Let's leave the girls in front of me alone for now and trace my memory until the current moment.
I worked for a smaller company and after doing a little illegal overtime, if I remember correctly, I played games at home.
The only entertainment for the mostly uninteresting me were games.
I could enjoy almost everything called a game.
From board games such as shogi and go, to MMOs with gorgeous 3D graphics.

Among the many games I've played, I especially adore love simulation games.
Love simulation game is where the player enjoys romance with boys as a heroine.
However, the way I've enjoyed them is slightly distorted…

When I remember that far, I realized I was familiar with the girl in front of me.

"Ah. Claire…?"
"Oh my! To address me by my name without an honorific!"

There's no doubt about this yapping voice.
She is Claire François.
She's my favorite character from the love simulation game 「Revolution」.

So that means, this is perhaps, possibly?
Is this, another world reincarnation?

"Claire-sama"
"That's right. It is expected of commoners to attach honorifics"
"Do you remember my name?"
"Are you stupid? Rei Taylor"

I see, I understand.
Somehow, I really am experiencing another world reincarnation.
My real name is Oohashi Rei, Taylor is the game's heroine's family name.
In 「Revolution」 you can freely set the heroine's first name, but the family name is forced to be Taylor.
That's to say, this world is the stage of the game and I seem to be the heroine.

"Hooray!"
"Could you not say things without a context abruptly? And it is such a vulgar expression. This is why commoners are…"

Claire-sama grumbled something, but let's ignore her for now.
Reincarnation into a game world… How often did I dream about it.
In this world it's possible to have real conversations with my favorite characters without relying on choices.
And――.

"Claire-sama"
"What is it? I do not wish for a lowly commoner to address me with a familiar voice"
"I like you"
"…Ha?"

Claire-sama made a blank face.
It seems she couldn't understand.
It can't be helped.

"Claire-sama, I like Claire-sama very much"
"Wha… wha wha wha…!?"

As the words I said permeated into her brain, Claire-sama lost her cool.
Yup, cute.
In 「Revolution」, my favorite character wasn't a capturable man, but Claire-sama.

She - Claire François is the villainess of 「Revolution」.
The villainess is someone who bullies a heroine, only to at the end turn around and become a stalking horse character.
The child of good family with bad personality, accompanied by her followers she harasses protagonist over and over again.

Nevertheless, I was completely charmed by the villainess Claire-sama.

Domineering personality, yapping noisy voice, evil disposition leading to numerous wrongdoings.
Even though the person herself is in front of me, just recalling the memories of playing the game I broke into a smile.
Normally Claire-sama would be a target of antipathy, but I couldn't find a reason to hate her.
Needlessly high pride, threatening behavior to conceal her fragile heart, going mad with jealousy to not let her rival in love steal from her - so strangely full of human traits, she perfectly suits my preferences.
Rather, I remember being uncomfortable with the protagonist who was like a saint.
I have to say it's a troublesome personality.

"What are you talking about!?"
"What… I simply like Claire-sama very much"
"Hm… hmph, is the lowly commoner trying to curry favor with me? It is futile. I will not trust a commoner in the slightest"

Claire-sama huffed turning her face away.

"… How cute"
"Wha… wha wha wha…!"

Oops, unconsciously my worldly desires rushed out of my mouth.
Claire-sama is extremely shaken.

"You… Perhaps you are skilled at it?"
"No, such a conclusion… There's no such thing, anyway, Claire-sama is cute"
"Hii!?"

She drew away.
Nice… Such a pure reaction.

"Claire-sama dislikes me, right?"
"T, that is a matter of course!"
"That's good. Please continue bullying me. Bring it on"
"What… What is with this person…"

Rather, it's Claire-sama who's beginning to panic.

"Now, it's the beginning of a fun, fun school life, Claire-sama! Let's enjoy ourselves together will all our might!"
"Why is the story proceeding on the premise that I will voluntarily involve myself with you!?"

In this way, I bid goodbye to my everyday life of overtime, and I imagined spending every day admiring the lovely Claire-sama.
It's a precious another world reincarnation.
I will definitely cherish Claire-sama to my heart's content.

My prospects for another world reincarnation are bright.
