Chapter 14

After spending quite a lot of time in the world of ‘Destined Lovers’, I can now say for sure I’ve ruined the original story.

I spawned into this world in front of the villainess, Raena von Armina, told her that we were in the world of an Otome Game and have tried to aid her in bringing about the Perfect Happy Ending.

Or that’s what was supposed to happen.

What the Hell are these developments?!

The good news is that the villainess isn’t bullying the heroine, and Raena is working to bring about-

“There’s no way that’s true!”

I screamed and huffed and puffed, blushing a lot as I remembered Raena and Victoria’s kiss.

Why did two villainesses kiss?!

How?! Why?! It’s strange no matter how I think about it.

In the game, Raena hated Yui for taking away her parents and for getting what she earnt for free. She then hated her even more once the prince began to take interest in Yui and started neglecting his proper fiancé.

That’s how it was in the original.

Or is that just how Yui sees it?

No, but we get some scenes from Raena’s POV…which I skipped without reading, ah!

Dammit!

Why didn’t I play the game properly?!

Eh, who cares about any route but Lord Cain’s - ah, what an idiot past me was.

“Present you is still an idiot.”

Oh no, the villainess has started insulting me in my head.

I must be going strange, and it’s all Raena’s fault!

Why did I have to get involved with her?

W-well, it’s not all been bad. She can be kind and gentle, and she feeds me and saves me deserts and-

Mmm, but she’s always a mystery and I don’t want to think about how many nightmares Raena’s oni-face has given me.

She says she’s aiming for the perfect ending plan, and she did save Lord Cain, but then she ruined Lord Michael’s reputation and k-k-k-k-k-ki-ki-!

I slammed my head against Raena’s mirror.

Forget it!

Forget about it!

Forget how it made your heart skip a beat!

Actually, why did Raena kiss Victoria?

…Wait…she’s not actually into girls, right?!

Maybe she’s bi-sexual, but…no, there was…nothing like that…in Lord Cain’s route at least.

Ah, why didn’t I play through the other routes properly?! I didn’t pay attention to any of Raena’s scenes in the harem route end either, so I have no idea!

…Maybe she was bi. It’d explain why she was okay with the Harem Route ending in the original game, and maybe even why she accepted it now.

So, should I assume she’s bi?

Or maybe she’s a perverted sadist who only cares about her fetish?

I wonder - if she’s bi-sexual, would Raena have liked my old-?

“What am I thinking?!”

Flushed and embarrassed, I slammed my head into the mirror repeatedly.

Ah, that was so embarrassing and cringey!

I’ll force these memories to disappear!

Why would I care about if-?

I stared at my tiny self in the mirror.

Green hair.

Wings.

Floating on top of a book.

Not even a foot tall.

Tentatively, I reached out and touched the fairy staring back at me.

When did I get used to seeing this face looking back at me?

…Actually.

I pulled my cheek.

What did I used to look like?

I-I remember.

Brown eyes, bob cut, not - not -

Black hair, short, and-

I sighed.

If, one day, I learnt how to transform into a human who everyone could see, what would appear?

Me or the fairy?

Would Raena be disappointed if it was me?

I didn’t want to think anymore today.

I just wanted to forget.

There was one thing that I couldn’t forget though.

That kiss was burned into my mind, as was the tugging feeling in my heart.

I didn’t want to confront these feelings.

Not now, not later.

Not ever.
