The sixth chapter of the comic adaptation of "The World of Otome Games is Harsh for the Villainess" has been updated!
You can enjoy it on Comic Walker and Nico Nico Seiga, so please be sure to check it out.
When the fourth-year students advance, they are given a six-month long vacation.
During this period, the students of the young school return home to relax.
Liam, who defeated Derrick, also returned to the Banfield territory.
His fiancée, Rosetta, and his subordinate, Wallace, are with him.
Similarly, Liam's vassals have also returned to the mansion.
Two thousand years ago, Marie, who was petrified, visited Rosetta's room.
"Milady Rosetta, it's time."
She called Rosetta using the intercom next to the door.
Rosetta hurriedly replied.
"Y-Yes!"
Rosetta, who came from the Duke of Claudia's family, which had no servants, was not used to life in the mansion.
Therefore, she often acted submissively towards Marie.
Two female knights were always guarding outside Rosetta's room.
The servants were also on standby, and Marie called out.
"How is Milady Rosetta doing?"
"She is not used to being served and often refuses, feeling embarrassed. This morning, she said she would get ready herself, so we are waiting outside."
Marie put her hand to her chin.
"---That's a problem."
In a world where there are plenty of convenient tools for morning preparations, servants are not necessary.
However, the servants around Rosetta are professionals.
Not letting such people do their job was a problem.
"What did Lord Liam say?"
"He said to watch her until she gets used to it."
Although I want her to get used to it quickly, if Lord Liam allows it, I cannot go against him.
Originally, Lord Liam keeps few people close to him.
Due to his unique upbringing, he only keeps those he trusts close.
---That's what everyone thought.
Even though, as a viscount, it would not be unusual for him to have many servants around him.
In a world where machines can do everything.
Luxury is having a professional take care of you.
Sometimes, nobles even compete over how many people they have around them.
Therefore, many children became spoiled because they were pampered too much by servants during their childhood.
The young school is also a place to educate such children.
(Lord Liam is too frugal. Considering his position, I wish he would indulge a bit more.)
As she was thinking this, Rosetta came out of her room.
"I-I'm sorry for keeping you waiting."
To such a meek Rosetta, Marie straightened her back and replied.
"Milady Rosetta, you must not be meek to those below you."
"Y-Yes, I will be careful."
While Marie was troubled by Rosetta's attitude, she led her to the vehicle waiting in the hallway.
"Then, this way."
---The mansion is so large that there are vehicles in the hallway for transportation.
Rosetta couldn't understand this.
"Why is there a vehicle in the hallway? Is this even a hallway? Is it an arcade?"
It's strange to ride a vehicle inside a mansion!
---That's how Rosetta felt.
"You'll get used to it soon."
Marie helped Rosetta onto the vehicle and began to guide her through the mansion.
This was not a job for Marie, the second-in-command of Liam's knights.
However, Marie felt a sense of closeness to Rosetta.
Seeing Rosetta's nervousness, she thought:
(That fool turned me to stone, and the Claudia family was made an example of. Thinking about that, Milady Rosetta is my comrade.)
A comrade who suffered at the hands of the emperor who ascended two thousand years ago.
Liam, who saved such people as herself and Rosetta, was very precious to Marie.
"Today, I will show you the hospital inside the mansion."
Rosetta was surprised.
"There's a hospital inside the mansion!?"
"Of course. It's that big."
"But I heard that the Banfield family has a hospital with medical facilities that rival the capital planet."
If there is such a hospital, why is there a need for one in the mansion?
Rosetta couldn't understand.
"---I will show you that one eventually, but be prepared. The people treated there are not ordinary."
People who have been captured by pirates and suffered terribly.
"I've heard about it. The head knight said that to become a suitable wife for Lord Liam, I need to know these things."
Marie's forehead twitched, but she forced a smile in front of Rosetta.
(That minced woman! Don't preach to me like you're so high and mighty! Next time, I'll turn you into minced meat.)
"Lord Liam's knight order is still new. It's only been about ten years, and the head knight changes frequently, so don't worry about it."
"R-Really? Ten years is short. Yet, there are so many excellent knights."
In this world, ten years is considered short.
For a knight order with a history, at least five hundred years must have passed since its establishment.
"Still, 'husband,' is it?"
"Is it strange?"
"No, only Tenjou calls Lord Liam 'husband.'"
"Tenjou---is an android, right?"
"I'm also worried about what Lord Liam thinks, but to stand out, we should think of another way to address him."
"Other? Is there anything else? His name or a nickname?"
After thinking for a moment---
"How about 'Darling'?"
---That's what she suggested.
When I returned to the mansion, I indulged in luxury from the morning.
"Playing in the pool in the morning is such a luxury!"
The giant pool, which was cleaned and refilled with water overnight.
If only I could line up all my beauties in swimsuits, but they are not all here yet.
Only Tenjou and Bryan are in swimsuits.
Tenjou's swimsuit is a modest pareo type.
It suits the reserved Tenjou.
I asked the merchant Thomas to prepare a high-quality swimsuit made of expensive fabric.
When he suggested something more revealing, I angrily told him, "Are you an idiot?"
This isn't a show.
I can't have Tenjou wear something revealing.
Bryan's swimsuit covers her elbows and knees.
---That's not important.
"Lord Liam, here are the fruits for breakfast."
"Are they fresh and high-quality? I only eat the best."
"Of course! The finest from the territory, including the soil, were brought here."
---What a waste of effort!
The idea of bringing the soil with the plants is outrageous.
When I tasted it, it was fresh and sweet.
The juice was smooth.
"Delicious!"
To go to such lengths for just breakfast.
Being a corrupt lord is the best!
Tenjou calmly cut the fruit.
"Eating locally grown produce. How wonderful, Lord Liam."
"Is that sarcasm? Don't get angry. I couldn't indulge in luxury at the young school."
The hometown is great.
After all, no one disobeys me, and I can enjoy the feeling of being a king.
However, I am something worse than a king.
Bryan brought the next dish.
"Lord Liam, next is the yogurt."
"Is this also high-quality?"
"No, this is homemade by Bryan."
"You surprise me sometimes. Well, I'll eat it. ---Ah, it's good."
I was a bit frustrated that it was unexpectedly delicious.
Wallace watched the modest Liam.
Seeing him eating breakfast by the pool at home, he thought:
"Liam is so modest. Everything he eats is from his own territory."
Nobles with territories like Liam's have their desired foods brought by spaceships.
For fruits, they bring the fields and people.
To a modern person, it seemed like he was eating from a home garden.
In this world---the luxury of nobles is on a different scale.
They might spend an outrageous amount of money on a single cup of coffee.
They bring the best water.
They source the best beans.
They gather the best equipment and the best people---
In short, they go to such lengths.
From Wallace's perspective, Liam is very---modest.
Bryan (´；ω；｀) "It's hard. Being in a position where I'm called back immediately after saying a temporary goodbye---it's hard."
Wakagi-chan ( ゜∀゜) "The sixth chapter of the comic adaptation is updated today! Everyone, enjoy it!"
Luxion ( ●) "Why do everyone want me to be the heroine?"
Clare ( ○) "It's fine. I haven't even appeared yet."
