The World of Otome Games is Tough For Mobs-Volume 1 Short Story – Marie’s school life

Gamers Bonus SS

I’m Marie! A pretty girl who reincarnated into an otome game world!

I’m a pretty girl with beautiful hair and a cute slender figure.

I lived a very pitiful past life so I’m sure that reincarnating into this otome game was god’s way of apologising.

This time around I’ll surely achieve happiness in this world which is kind to women.

“Then let’s get started right away with ensnaring rich handsome men”

I wasn’t reincarnated as the protagonist but I’m sure it’ll be fine to just take one or two away from her, right?

First off, let’s go catch the prince - his highness, Julius.

In school. While searching for the place where Prince Julius would be cheered up by the protagonist, I found a girl wandering around by herself.

“Umm, excuse me? I happen to be lost.”

This girl who seemed to be lost and called out to me was perhaps the protagonist.

I also thought this whilst I was playing the game, but this airhead protagonist really ticked me off. ƒ𝓇e𝙚𝔀𝐞𝚋𝓃𝐨𝘷e𝙡.𝒄𝗼m

“Why do I have an obligation to help you? Instead of that, I’d rather you hurry up and leave this place.”

“U-Umm, did I do something bad to you?”

Her troubled expression was also annoying. It’s no wonder that guys would trip all over themselves in front of such a woman.

“I’m irritated just by having you in my field of view. I hate women like you.”

“I-I’m sorry.”

Seeing the back of the protagonist who left as if to run away, made me feel really good.

“Now then, I wonder where the prince is? …Found him!” 𝐟𝐫𝗲𝙚ｗ𝚎𝐛𝙣𝐨𝙫𝘦𝗹.c૦m

Having found Prince Julius who was crestfallen by himself, I probably laughed in joy.

“Found the prince. Wait for me. I’ll solve your problems for you right away.”

If I recall, in the game the prince was very unfriendly on the first encounter.

As I got closer to him, he rejected me.

“I don’t want to talk to anyone right now. Stay away.”

Different to the gentle vibe that he was giving off at the entrance ceremony, unsociable handsome guys are also pretty hot. But the choice that I make here is—

“Hey, isn’t that attitude a bit too rude!”

“Do you even know who I am? Complaining to me, are you an idiot? I’m in a bad mood right now. Name yourself, woman. I’ll crush you just like you wished for.”

In response to the prince with this kind of attitude—I’ll do this!

A slap with a magnificently satisfying sound.

Pachin! I planned to only slap him but perhaps the force I used was a little too strong and his highness Julius collapsed from his knees.

“You’re the worst for trying to intimidate others with your status! You should name yourself instead!”

I hurriedly tried to imitate the protagonist’s lines but… I know Julius’ name already and this line felt somewhat off. Will I really be okay even after hitting him? Am I going to be executed? That thought suddenly came to my mind.

His highness Julius’ knees were trembling as he stood up…

“Y-…You’re different from ordinary women. Will you let me hear your name?”

Julius’ response was somewhat less cool than it was in the game but I decided to tell him my name.

“It’s Marie. I’m Marie Fou Lafan.”

His highness Julius held a palm against his cheek and then smiled at me.

“I didn’t think there would be a woman who dared to slap me. You’re the first since my mother. That said, Marie.”

“W-What?”

Julius looked at me and apologetically said this—

“If possible, can you lend me your shoulder to lean on? That was more than expected… I can’t really walk like this.”

…What’s going on? This feels somewhat different to the kind of fated encounter of destiny in a game.

I tried to lend my shoulder, but due to the difference in height, it feels more like I’m carrying him.

“I’m really sorry. You’re unexpectedly really strong.”

“How rude! Despite this, I’m still a frail girl.”

His highness Julius smiled with a swollen red face.

“My bad. I’m Julius… Julius Rafa Holfort. Despite how I look, I’m still a prince.”

“A prince!?”

I showed an expression of surprise but considering I saw him at the opening ceremony, I’m supposed to know, right?

“Did you not attend the ceremony? Well don’t worry about it. I have no intention of punishing you. Thanks to you, I feel a bit better now.”

While carrying the boy who I struck down myself… Wait a minute, isn’t this somewhat different to the game? While thinking that…

“Hey, can I just call you Marie?”

While being asked that by a handsome guy, I had no choice but to blush and give my approval.

“Y-Yes!”

“I-I see. You can just call me Julius.”

His highness Julius looked happy. That’s a bit cute. That said, wasn’t this a bit too easy?

(…Hmm? Maybe I can aim for a reverse harem?)

After all, it’s my second life. It’d be a waste if I don’t enjoy it more.

I’ll aim for a reverse harem.
