The World of Otome Games is Tough For Mobs-Volume 6, Chapter 6 - Support Ship Ideal

It was a few days after the New Years Festival.

It was time to return to the kingdom, and Livia faced Anjie in an awkward atmosphere.

There were only two people in the room, and no one came in for a while due to a nifty Cordelia.

Even though Livia was depressed, she summoned her courage in front of Anjie and called out to her."U-Uhm!"

"Livia, I don't think ---

But they both called at the same time and there was another pause. The two clumsy people looked at each other annoyed.

Then their faces started to show a funny expression.

At the same time, they were able to understand the wish that they wanted to forgive each other. When they smiled, Anjie spoke to her.

"I'm sorry I caused you so much trouble. You are right about Noelle's situation. I ignored her feelings. I'm sorry.”

Livia shook her head at Anjie's apology.

"I shouldn't have done that. I didn't even consider your position and said something like that. Besides, I knew you had a lot on your mind.”

They had disagreed with each other about Noelle's case and now they were going to reconcile. However, Anjie's stance remained the same.

-I'm sorry. But I still think that Noelle should go to the Kingdom."For the good of the country, right?"

-That too.

-That too?

When Livia nodded her head, Anjie spoke about Noelle's future.

By having a ridiculous treasure called the little sapling of the Sacred Tree, Noelle, who was chosen as the priestess, has become something that all countries desire.

"From now on, Noelle will be wanted for the rest of her life as she is someone of great value."

-I know.

"No, I don't think you know exactly what's going on."

Anjie seems to think that Livia's perception was still naive.

"… People are creatures who can be cruel in any measure. And they will do anything to get the most outrageous winnings hanging in front of them.”

"Anjie?"

Anjie shook her head.

"I don't want to go into details either. But the worst that can happen to Noelle is hell waiting for her. It's not good for her, but what do you think would happen if another country took her away and made her unhappy?”

"I-I don't think it's …”

Livia didn't want to think about it too much either, but Noelle would be unhappy.

However, Anjie was worried beyond that.

"If Noelle is unhappy, then Leon will worry. That's the kind of man he is. I don't want to see Leon suffer.”

Livia was embarrassed to learn that Anjie was thinking of Leon.

-I'm sorry. I just didn't think you were thinking so much.

"Unfortunately, I only recently started to think this way. At first I didn't think much about it. I also feel guilty.”

When Livia looked down, Anjie hugged her. Livia also put her hand on Anjie's back.

Anjie whispered in Livia's ear.

"Honestly, I didn't want another woman next to Leon, either." But that guy attracts trouble, you know? I don't want to make Noelle unhappy, even as an individual. And as a nobleman, I can't leave Noelle unattended either.”

"I feel the same as you."

-Forgive me. Even though I know you won't like it, there is no choice but to keep Noelle by Leon's side. I cannot take her back to the Kingdom of Holfault and hand her over to the Royal Court.

When Livia nodded, Anjie's face moved closer. Continuing like this, their lips met.

◇

Yumeria, who was cleaning the front door of the mansion, looked out atthe good weather."It's another beautiful day ~

Being tired, Yumeria wanted to take a nap.

But she shook her face and turned her attention to her work.

-I should not. If I don't work hard, Kyle will be mad at me again. Let’s go! When he went back to cleaning, a woman came through the door.

There was a blue sphere nearby."Huh?" Mr. Luxon?

While she was confused, Lelia spoke."Hey, are you Leon and Marie?"

Yumeria was surprised when asked and nodded many times."T-They are… I mean… they are here!”

"Well, go get them. Just say that Lelia is here.” "Y-Yes!"

Overwhelmed and in a hurry to get back to the mansion, Yumeria slipped as she turned around.

"Ouch!"

"H-Hey, are you okay?"

-I'm sorry. I'm a bit clumsy.

"You are Yumeria, right? You can take your time, but can you call those two anyway?”

-… Yes.

Yumeria got up, shook her skirt with her hand, and hurried over despite being told not to.

"H-Hey don't rush! Ideal, what happened.”

[… No, it's nothing. The elf woman here was called Yumeria, right?]

As Yumeria entered the mansion, she could no longer hear their conversation.

The story will continue whether I’m there or not.

◇

Noelle sat on the stairs, hugging the jar that held the sapling. Beside Noelle was Marie, who had become her friend.

Marie, who knew what was going on, followed Noelle.

"You'll be fine if you leave it to Leon. More importantly, what do you plan to do in the future, Noelle?”

Noelle, who was hugging the vial, didn't seem to have made up her mind yet.

"What can I say? I don't think it's right for me for Leon to take care of me. Because, having two fiancees, do you think it's okay for me to do that?”

"He ruined your wedding. He owes it to you.”

-It’s not that.

Noelle, who disagreed with Marie's extreme comments, still seemed to be worried about Leon.

"Well, take your time to think about it." There is still time. While saying that, Marie was internally impatient.

I can't leave Noelle alone, however my brother says to leave it to him, what should I really do !? Heavens, nothing goes as planned!

As Marie tried to figure out how to move, Yumeria knocked on the door."Ah, Miss Marie!" Y-You have a visitor!

-I?

"No, they asked me to call Mr. Leon too, so I'm going to his room now." I-I'm retiring … ah!

A nervous Yumeria stumbled on the stairs and hit her knee, then felt the pain. Noelle picked up Yumeria.

"Hey, are you okay?"

"I-I'm fine. The visitor wanted me to hurry, so I have to hurry.” Marie didn't mind keeping the guests waiting.

After all, if someone called her and Leon, it's obvious who that person is.

It was Lelia, who came running from the door, and was now with her arms crossed.

Beside him was the figure of Ideal, who had been listening to the conversation. When Yumeria went to Leon's room, Noelle went downstairs and approached Lelia."Lelia, what are you doing here? Hey? Why is there a little Luxon-like thing here?”

Ideal spoke to Noelle, who seemed curious, in a friendly way.

[Nice to meet you, Miss Noelle. I am Ideal. I am… well, I am the same species type as Luxon. From now on, I look forward to working with you.]

"Uh, ah, yeah."

Noelle was confused about how Lelia had an item just like Luxon.

Marie was not surprised, but from Noelle's point of view there were nothing but questions."You always come so suddenly."

As Marie made a disgusted face, Lelia ran a hand through her hair back.

"I thought I told you earlier that I would talk to Leon." More importantly, what the hell is going on?

Since she couldn't speak with Noelle there, Marie urged her to wait in the back room."Wait in the living room." Leon will be here in a minute.

-Well, I'll wait. In the meantime, I'd like to talk to my sister.

Lelia said, then grabbed Noelle's hand and headed to the back of the room. Marie was upset by his attitude.

?… What does that girl think Noelle is?

◇

Noelle, who came to the reception room, was surprised to hear Lelia's story."Stay in the Republic?"

She did not ask her to stay. It was an order to stay.

-It is so. I don't think you're going to do well in a foreign country, and you're safer in the Republic to begin with. I'll protect you.

"I'll protect you," Noelle felt a lack of respect for his attitude."You say that just because you're engaged to Emile."

"It's not about Emile. I will protect you myself.”

-What do you mean? It's Emile who's going to protect us, right? I can understand that as well as you.

Noelle thought Lelia was being optimistic because she was engaged to Emile. However, Lelia didn't seem to trust Emile.

"I don't care about Emile anymore."

"What do you mean you don’t care about Emile? Are you two fighting, by any chance?”

Maybe it was an instinctive feeling as sisters, but Noelle had guessed from Lelia's appearance that she and Emile had had a fight.

That seemed like a perfect guess.

-It is none of your business.

-Of course yes. I don't know what's going on here, but I don't think Emile is going to do anything. What did you do?

Lelia's expression clouded, as if Noelle had hit the target.

Noelle was sure when she saw that Lelia had looked away from her.

-I knew it.

-It is none of your business! Besides, I don't need Emile anymore.

"What do you mean you don't need him? You're the one who made that mistake with Emi” --- When the sisters started arguing, a knock came from the door.

The two of them turned their gazes in that direction and saw Leon with Luxon.

"Well, they’re here, so let’s stop fighting.” Behind him was also Marie.

"Who are you to tell that to us?" Those are not the kind of lines you get from someone who is always fighting.

"I'm a pacifist. I do not like fights.”

-Yes. You are good at it!

Noelle and Lelia were feeling stupid and stopped arguing when they saw Leon and Marie looking at each other with smiles on their faces.

Lelia crossed her arms and told Noelle to leave the room."I need to talk to Leon and the others, so you have to go."

-Why? Why do you always make me look like I'm a complete stranger?

-Just go away!

And so Noelle was kicked out of the room by Lelia.

◇

"I see you have a lot of attitude towards your sister."

I looked at Lelia, who forced Noelle out, and was appalled.

The Lelia of now had gained great power and had become arrogant."You better stop talking like that just because you've gained power."

Hearing my advice Lelia seemed disgusted, but it was Luxon who was surprised at me. [Master, you've always told me to look in the mirror when I talk like that.]

The same was for Marie.

"Brother, how can you say those words to someone else when they also apply to you? Are you not ashamed of yourself? I'm ashamed to be your sister.”

Why does Marie have to tell me all that?

"You are in no condition to tell me what to do!" --- Well, it doesn't matter. Lelia said "Hey!" And then he blamed me for my attitude.

However, there is no point in talking about it, so we quickly got to the point."Lelia, why did you set up Ideal’s defenses in the Rault house?"

When I asked the question, Lelia cocked her head.

-What are you talking about?

Marie put her left hand on her hip and pointed at Lelia and Ideal with her right hand.

"We can't help Louise because you guys did something unnecessary! Just take those defenses out of the way.

Lelia didn't really know, but she showed her combative attitude towards Marie.

"I don't know what you’re talking about! Don't blame me. Also, I didn't know about Louise's case and I didn't come visit you to discuss it.”

Marie and I didn't see this coming. [That would narrow down the culprits.] Luxon's red eye went to Ideal.

[So, Ideal…]

[I-I'm soooooo sorry!]

Lelia was surprised that he had suddenly apologized to her.

-Hey what's up?

[Actually, it was Lord Serge's order to provide a defense team.]

—Serge? Hey, I am your Master!

Lelia didn't seem to understand either. However, Ideal was also confused.

[Hey? No, I registered both of them as my masters at the time.

Therefore, the two people who can give me orders are Lelia-sama and Serge-sama.]

-… You're lying.

Lelia seemed to hear it for the first time and was shocked.

She got a cheat battleship, but the other guy also had the right to give it orders; you probably didn't expect this dilemma.

That is why she was worried.

"Of all people, Serge?" It is the worst option to pass power to someone like him.

He is the type of person who would hit someone out of nowhere. I do not like it.

Marie was in a good mood then, because the matter was simple.

"But it's resolved, isn't it?" Lelia, order them to get rid of the defense team as soon as possible.

-Well well. Ideal, please. [I can not.]

-Eh?

Ideal rejected her as if it were natural.

[Unfortunately, Miss Lelia and Mr. Serge have the same power. I cannot revoke the orders of one side without reason.]

I turned my gaze to Luxon.

-What is he saying?

[The artificial intelligence of the military has a different chain of command than mine. Isn't it also a standard when it comes to property?

More importantly, this would allow us to secure Louise if we only destroyed the defense equipment.]

I think we can avoid a fight with Ideal.

"The problem is Serge." I heard you have a problem with your family.

I looked at Lelia and she looked away from me to see if she had an idea.

"He was adopted and taken in by the Rault family." I heard that he didn't fit in and wanted to be part of a genuine family.

"… From my point of view, it's an enviable family."

It's no use comparing families, but without a doubt, the Rault family is the overwhelming winner when it comes to having an older sister.

Damn … how much better my life would have been if Louise-san was my sister.

However, for Lelia, the Rault family is the enemy. She didn't have good feelings for them.

-Where? Serge told me."I'm the only one they don't recognize as their family." I think they just wanted an heir. They are so selfish that they don't care if their children are dead or not.

However, from my point of view, they were kind people.

I remembered Mr. Alberg, who was even trying to start a war for his daughter.

"… Well, I don't care what you think." Anyway, Serge is going to be an adversary in this matter, right? Whose side are you going to be on, Ideal?

Serge is likely to become the enemy. And if that's the case … Ideal is a danger.

Sensing the meaning of my gaze, Ideal flicked his eye sideways as if to say "oh dear". This part of him is the same as Luxon's.

[Normally I would like to avoid acts that prioritize one over the other, but circumstances are circumstances. I will not supply more forces.

However, that is all I can do. I cannot take away the strength that Master Serge has.]

"You just have to promise me that and we'll be fine. We will take care of this problem ourselves.”

Well that solves the problem.

The only thing left to do is how to get Louise back.

Thinking that Louise's problem was solved, Lelia raised another topic.

"Then let's talk about my sister. I will be clear. Now that Ideal is here, I have the power to protect my sister. I don't need to trust you guys.”

Marie tugged at Lelia's cheeks.

"You, don't get carried away. If my brother gets serious, you will be defeated.”

Why does this chick overestimate me? I don't want to fight Ideal.

However, Lelia did not show the same confusion as before, perhaps because she felt more confident after obtaining Ideal.

"Oh, can you do it?" Ideal is a warship. Luxon is an immigrant ship, right? Would it even be a fight?

Then Luxon, who had been silent until now, spoke quickly.

[Oh? I'm surprised that Lelia can analyze our strength. First of all, do you know my original function? You are very confident that you are going to win even when you don't really know it. Also, Ideal is a supply ship, even if it is a warship. If I had to explain it to you in simple terms, it is not the type of ship that fights in the front. It's designed to work out of the rear, so it wasn't made specifically for combat, didn't you know?]

?Eh? Wh-what?

Lelia sought help from Ideal and made a change of players.

[Luxon, please don't intimidate Miss Lelia too much. Also, I have a lot of experience in actual battles, even though I look like this. If we really fight, it's hard to know who will win. Am I wrong?]

[… I guess so.]

Luxon did not say that he could definitely win. Do you have uncertainties?

"That's surprising. Didn’t you say you're going to win?"

[We were created to fight new humans, not humanity in a war between humans. In other words, we have no data on ships fighting each other.]

You will never know unless you try.

Ah ~ so that's it. No wonder he's so insecure. I'll make fun of him later. Anyway, it was nice to hear all that about Ideal.

"Have you fought the new humans?"

[Yes. That battle was really bad. He had returned to the base for maintenance, and was waiting for the new masters to arrive. However, they allowed an enemy armor to enter the base and we were forced to be in a semi-destroyed state. Fortunately I was the only one who survived, but unable to move due to the waiting orders.]

Lelia had never heard of it before.

"Hey, really?" Oh, could it be that the armor you saw that time was magic or something? [Yes.]

Here Luxon showed quite an overreaction than usual. [qawsedrftgyfujikolp; !!!!]

Surprised by his reaction, Lelia had fled to the wall."W-What was that !?”

-I'm sorry. This guy hates magic armor a lot. Ideal nodded.

[I get it. I hate them too.]

Compared to him, this one is much quieter. Luxon's red eye glowed mysteriously.

[Where is? Where is the magic armor? If you don't destroy it, if you don't destroy it without leaving a single trace of dust, the entire legacy of the new humans will be the target of destruction.]

-You are always like that.

A happy Ideal was calming the flustered Luxon.

[Please calm down, Luxon. I have destroyed the magic armor on my own. There are no more.]

[… I see.]

Once Luxon calmed down, I told Lelia, who was glued to the wall, my thoughts on Noelle's future.

"Lelia, I think it would be best to let Noelle decide on her own."

-What's the matter with you? I need my sister and the baby tree!

"If something happens, then we'll figure it out. Also, I don't think the Sacred Tree is going to lose control right now.”

"Yes, but …”

I don't think the current Alberg-sama is the last boss. And if it is … is it when we lose Louise?

Losing your daughter… may drive you to despair.

In other words, saving Louise will keep the world from falling apart.

Oh, I'm going to save the world again, right? How painful, I'm going to save the world again! --- And until here we leave the jokes.

"Noelle is stronger than you think." So---

When I said that, Lelia lowered her head and left the room. [Ah, Lelia-sama! Excuse us all, we withdraw. Lelia-sama ~!] Lelia and Ideal left, leaving Luxon, Marie and me.

Marie was not happy.

"She's getting carried away now that she has Ideal. Onii-chan, you should threaten her more like you always do.”

-No. And what do you mean by "always"? Marie brought her gaze to the ground.

"That Lelia, she thinks Noelle is an object or something. Leaving it to Lelia will only make Noelle unhappy.”

Despite the fact that they are twin sisters, Lelia is reincarnated. Perhaps the feeling of being sisters is thin. 𝗳𝗿𝐞ℯ𝙬𝗲𝗯n𝗼νel.𝒄𝑜𝘮

-What should we do? Luxon, what do you think?

[When you have a problem, you entrust it to someone else. In fact, the Master does not think for himself to solve problems.]

-I'm dumb.

[He's only clumsy when it suits him. Didn't he say he was usually very handy in life?] "People are very convenient, aren't they? So what do you think?”

[With great power, even if you are not a Master, comes arrogance.

However, he is human and I like him. It's nice to feel the pain once, but with Ideal by your side, that should be difficult. ---Alone…]

-Alone?

[It’s nothing.]

"Say it to the end, I'm curious."

[As the Master will be confused, I will tell him when I have a firm backing. But more importantly, are there no preparations to rescue Louise?]

Oh, that’s true.

-Yes it's correct. I'll prepare for that. Oh, Marie, go find the five idiots."Okay, but what do you want them to do now?"

-… Something funny.

When I said that with my best smile, Marie made a face that she didn't understand. ◇

Lelia ran out of Marie's mansion and was lying face down in the back seat of the car Ideal had prepared for her.

The automatic car was heading home.

Ideal, who was in the driver's seat, was comforting Lelia.

[Lelia-sama, don't worry too much about that. They don't understand how much you think of Noelle-sama.]

Hearing Ideal's words, Lelia agreed with it.

-Yes. Nobody understands it. No one knows … how much I've been thinking about my sister.

Lelia remembered her previous life.

◇

Lelia also had an older sister in her previous life.

An older sister who was better than her, was not a proud older sister, but one that she was always compared to.

"Why can't you do as well as your sister?"

"You're very bad at this. Your sister could have done this when she was your age.” Her parents always compared her to her sister.

The same was at school.

When she confessed her feelings to a boy she liked, he rejected her and then said "Oh, can you introduce me to your sister sometime?"

In her previous life, Lelia had an older sister who was an obstacle for her. When Lelia grew up, she had a fiancé.

He was a young man whose family owned a company, and he was the next president of it. He was not a serious man, but he was still an attractive and funny person.

And for Lelia in her previous life, she was proud of him.

I can beat my sister. I can beat my sister!

At the time it was clear that her fiancé was better than the boyfriend her sister was dating.

And so it was that she took her fiancé to her parents' house, as if to shake off the resentment she had been feeling.

At first her family was happy saying: "If you are fine with this daughter." But within months, her own fiancé was dating her sister.

In her previous life, Lelia did not understand what had happened.

When she asked her fiancé why he did that, he didn't seem offended by answering her. -I'm sorry. But I get along better with your sister.

And her sister's response was even worse.

-I'm sorry. But … I'm sure you'll find someone much better. So, you will congratulate us, right?

Lelia still remembered her sister laughing at her as she apologized. She hated her sister.

She protested to her family, but her parents disagreed …"He wasn't suitable for you."

"You deserve more than that." “You need to find someone else.” They didn't care.

From there, in her previous life, Lelia cut ties with her family. Due to this experience, Lelia couldn't help but hate her sister.

◇

In the back seat he remembered his sister from his previous life, which later overlapped with her sister in this life … Noelle.

Lelia didn't like the idea of being the older sister.

She will be treated like an extra from her sister, no matter how far she goes.

"… I even took him." I chose a boring and simple boy who I had to put up with, so why couldn't he function the way I wanted?

Lelia was mad at Noelle for not getting her way.

Although she had chosen Emile out of her own patience, Noelle didn't even look at the other boys to attack.

Of all the boys, she chose Leon, a reincarnate just like Lelia. f𝙧ee𝘄𝐞𝚋𝐧૦ѵeƖ.c𝘰𝓶

"She and my older sister are the same." She is taking everything from me. She was also chosen as the priestess. I was born in the same Lespinasse house, but they didn't even give me the requirements.

Lelia was envious of Noelle, the heroine of this world.

She was reincarnated as her twin sister and had the expectation that maybe she could be a priestess.

However, that expectation was soon shattered. Her parents from this world spoke to her.

They told her that she did not have the qualities of a priestess. It was then that Lelia realized it.

No matter how far I go, I'm just an extra to my sister. I thought I would live modestly this time. Why do you get in my way?

She was mad at Noelle for not getting her way and she was also mad at Leon and his friends for helping Noelle with that.

They are also reincarnated, but they chose to help Noelle rather than themselves.

"In the end, everyone chooses my sister." Anyway, I'm just an extra to my sister. But even I am stubborn.

Ideal's red lens gleamed suspiciously as he glanced in the rearview mirror at Lelia, who was lying down in the back seat.
