I Appear to have been Reincarnated as a Love Interest in an Otome Game: ChapterĀ 23
Chapter 23: An interesting development?
Author:
Recently Iāve writing too much perverted stuff that, although it was fun, my HP is at a dangerous level.
My HP is so low that it will be over in one shot, so please go easy on me.
Eight days passed since the last conversation. Since we set the next meeting to be after ten days, we wonāt be having any meetings for the next two days.
We decided to gather more information as well as deduce what we can until the next meeting.
Thanks to that, our usual teatime at the dining hall revived. I still donāt like having to be exposed to the pervertās sight, but itās better than relying on Daniel for everything.
Getting information from someone else and seeing with my own eyes is different, and I could concoct a more effective plan.
I also want everyone to realise how perverted and dangerous Brad is. I already told them to not approach him along with the reason why not, but I thought that might not be enough.
Thus, although it may be dangerous, I thought I should show his nature to everyone. If they feel for themselves his abnormality, I donāt think anyone will approach him on their own.
Though, it didnāt seem like anything bad was going to happen just by getting into his sight, and it didnāt seem like a plan was undergoing.
If there is anything āstrangeāā¦ā¦
It would be that I could feel his sleazy gaze when Daniel is serving us tea?
To me, it felt as though he was targetting at Danielā¦ā¦
If that is the caseā¦ā¦ then he is one really reckless personā¦ā¦
When Daniel appears, the air around Brad changes. Maybe Iām just imagining it, but even his glasses seem to shine brighter than usualā¦ā¦
I saw hallucinations of purple roses every time too, making my face twitch.
Just what is that? That mood of an aestheteā¦ā¦
Iām quite sure that Daniel too felt is gaze, but neither his expression nor his behaviour changed.
Though for me, I felt frightened at that consistency.
Itās as if heās just fanning the flames.
I canāt help but think that if you smile at me like that?
Youāre instigating Brad, right?
Daniel-san, please donāt involve me in thatā¦ā¦
.
Then, about Michelleā¦ā¦
For some reason, her distance with Jackie, the out of focus character, was closing in.
From the start, Jackie was her follower, but he was not very enthusiastic.
It felt like he was doing ābecause heās in the groupā, since he was never that close with Michelleās other followers.
However, I can feel a sweet mood between them as of late.
Additionally, heās somewhat balancing it so that heās not fanning the flames of jealousy, sorta?
.
If the yandere Henryās distance with Michelle is either too close or too far, he will go on a rampage of jealousy and possessiveness, so we have to tread lightly around him.
If he does go on a rampage at this level, itās probably straight to the imprisonment course.
As for the bespectacled bastard Brad, since there is a high chance that he will kidnap people, if he becomes envious there is a possibility that he will become an even more dangerous yandere than Henry.
Brad routeās happy end is āa happy married life where Brad is brutish yet kindā, but if itās the bad end, āshe is trained by that brute and live out her life like a slaveā.
According to Michelle, itās possible to be trained as a āhuman toiletā in the R-18 edition.
The spoiled brat Hughie also has the possibility to fling about in anger if heās instigated.
In his happy end, they become a cute couple, like some high school students. However, in the bad end, Hughie stalks Michelle and ultimately kills her.
As reference, here are the endings of other characters.
First, in the happy ending with Prince Kyle, Angelica is married away to some other country and Michelle becomes the legal wife.
In the bad end, she becomes his concubine, but thatās it. She doesnāt receive his love, she doesnāt have authority in the palace, and she couldnāt even bear a child.
It sorta looks as if a dangerous was quarantined as a concubineā¦ā¦
Although heās already out of the picture, Robert is the easiest conquer. Most choices raise his affection, that itās actually harder to get the bad end, or even the normal end.
In some way, heās the biggest obstacle to clearing the whole game.
In the happy ending, Michelle becomes the wife of the Royal Guard Captain, receiving even the blessing of Jessica.
In this ending, Jessica says, āIāll also be happier than Robert-sama,ā but now I know what that meant.
Louis probably did some things behind the scenes.
As for the extremely rare bad ending, it only happens if Michelle badmouths Jessica in front of her.
This is quite hard, as you have to find Jessica within three days after the annulment of betrothal even.
Also, if you can improve your relation with Jessica, the story progresses to the normal ending.
Somehowā¦ā¦ in Robertās route, the shadow of Louis is ubiquitous.
Douglas.
In the happy ending, he gets over his past well, and the two of them live a peaceful life, while Douglas becomes the advisor to the prince.
In retrospect, his state at the annulment event might have been the overture for heading into the bad ending.
Now, about the topic of debate, Jackie.
His route is rather unusual. In the happy ending he settles in the Empire and they live happily.
In the bad ending, he goes into exile, wandering the lands like an adventurer.
.
As to how the normal ending is achieved.
Itās possible to achieve normal ending with any character by raising the affection level above a certain threshold, but not becoming lovers.
However, in Michelleās case, she raised the affection levels to the maximum when she was Bitch, so there is no possibility of a normal ending.
Theyāre all yanderes, does that mean Bitch managed them all with her natural abilitiesā¦ā¦
I donāt itās possible for the current Michelle to do that. Sheās too tenderhearted for this. Itās too much of a burden for an ordinary Japanese high school girl.
Thatās why I ordered Daniel to reveal his presence, so they get the message, āIām watching you. Donāt try anything funny.ā
I hope this keeps them on check, at least a little, so that Michelle may be a little safer.
However, Michelle was unexpected good at controlling them.
Quite amazing.
I could no longer find that awkward she had when she just reincarnated, nor does she feel like Bitch.
At first, I thought she was dealing with the situation quite well thanks to the merged memoriesā¦ā¦
But upon further observation, that was not the case.
I think Jackie is controlling everything behind the scenes.
He smoothly creates space for himself and Michelle, while taking care not to get too close to herā¦ā¦
Heās acting so naturally and stealthily, I donāt think anyone noticed yet, really? Well, Michelle knows and is moving to his direction, so maybe theyāre planning in advance?
I could also feel some resolve in Jackieās blue-grey eyes when he looks at Michelle.
Itās the eyes that Louis and I have towards Jessica and Angelica, respectively. āIāll protect her.ā
From that gaze, I could tell that heās on Michelleās side.
However, to protect Michelle, he looks like heās willing to sacrifice us, so we canāt yet say that he is ally.
Still, since we canāt openly help Michelle, Iām thankful that heās Michelleās ally.
Already, Iām like, āI leave Michelle to you!ā
Could he be a reincarnator?
My suspicions grew stronger every day. However, the next meeting is tomorrow.
Well, Iāll leave that for tomorrow, and Iāll focus on observation for now, to gather more information.
For example, Henryās butler, whoās been watching us recentlyā¦ā¦
Daniel was worried about it too.
Butlers have their ādomainā, so even if they are ordered by their masters, they to donāt involve themselves in war or crime.
So I donāt think that they will try anything drastic, but his gaze is disturbingā¦ā¦
Henry too must have seen our reactions, for he was talking about us to his butler.
Without a doubt, Henry is scheming something with his butler.
Well, since Iām also using my butler itās not strange for him to do so as well. Itās just the way heās using him.
Itās different, using a butler for protection and using a butler for schemes.
I donāt think butlers, who value the ādomainā, will lend a hand to that, so I donāt think that itās going to be a serious problemā¦ā¦
But I should keep it in mind.

The day of the information exchange.
The visitor was not just Michelle, but also another man, whom we expected to a certain extent: Jackie.
