Its Fine to Reincarnate as a Villainess Daughter! But the Name Ijiwaar Deswaar Seems a Bit too Cruel, Dont You Think!?Sara Salar, Barons Daughter SIDE (CAUTION!)

* * *

From here on, its a collection of side stories about various people.

First up is the story of Sara Salar, the Barons daughter (appeared in Arc 5).

To be continued in the .

Ding, dong Ding, dong

The sound of the bell announcing the time echoed through Royal Kiralimake Academy, bathed in the setting sun.

In this season, when the sun sets early and its too cold to play outside, few elementary school students remain in the school building at this hour.

Unless they have a specific reason, children return to their dorms before sunset and start their homework.

Strange this is strange

In other words, this pink-haired beautiful girl, walking down the empty corridor, muttering to herself with a ghostly expression, with her arms crossed and her head down, had a reason to stay in the school building until this hour.

The name of this girl, walking alone, her blazer-like uniform bathed in the yellow light of the setting sun streaming through the semi-circular window, is Sara Salar.

She has excellent grades and is also very athletic.

She embodies the ideal of being both academically and physically gifted, and is also a beautiful girl.

Although her birthright is low, as the daughter of a baron from a rural area, normally, shed already be attracting attention from the royal family and powerful nobles, even at this stage in elementary school shes that much of a prodigy.

Yes, normally.

But her current situation is far from being surrounded by high-ranking people in fact, people are keeping their distance from her.

Theyre thinking, Ehhh no, that girl isnt she a bit weird?.

Why?

Its because of her personality and behavior.

Despite being from the countryside, her behavior is completely lacking in common sense.

Even though shes still in elementary school, no even if she wasnt in elementary school, it would be strange, she blatantly treats certain male students differently.

She lacks modesty.

Her sense of distance is off.

Shes filled with this mysterious confidence that she deserves to be loved by everyone, and its kind of scary.

She sometimes mutters things that dont make sense, which is creepy.

She often acts preemptively, as if she can see the future, which is super creepy.

There are countless reasons why shes being avoided.

On top of that, shes unable to reflect.

For example, lets say she does something outlandish, and the teacher, in a logical and easy-to-understand way, cautions her.

Shes intelligent.

So she can understand the teachers lecture perfectly.

While listening, shell tremble, her face pale, tears welling up in her adorable eyes, acting as if shes reflecting.

But.

After an hour or so.

Shell completely forget about the lecture and, with an adorable smile, repeat the same thing.

The teachers have given up on trying to improve her behavior.

There was a hypothesis that shes being manipulated by some advanced curse or magic, but it was denied.

They secretly examined her, but nothing came up.

If her behavior is due to a curse

Its a super advanced curse that cant be deciphered by humans.

The only ones who could cast such a thing

Are gods, for example.

Ridiculous.

A god, cursing a human child?

Impossible.

Saying that, the adults stopped investigating further.

In other words, Sara Salar, the Barons daughter, is a strange girl.

They decided that, and stopped trying to investigate her, or guide her.

Even the excellent teachers, who are passionate about education.

In other words, theres the intervention of a supernatural being, twisting the teachers ideals and beliefs without them realizing it, but theres no way for humans to notice such a thing and even if they did, theres nothing they can do about it.

Back to the story.

Now then, why was Sara Salar still in the elementary school building of Royal Kiralimake Academy in the deserted evening?

Why isnt Akinaine-kun here? According to the Kira Academy storyline, he should be in the classroom, looking for his hidden textbook?

Its to intervene in the otome game event and increase her favorability rating with her capture target.

Shes been made to believe that shes reincarnated as the protagonist of the otome game Swords and Magic and Romance ~Sparkling Academy, Underdog Love Story!~

And shes further been implanted with the desire to capture all the targets and build a reverse harem.

Shes been guided to act outlandishly, to become a person whose tragic end wouldnt make the viewers feel sorry for her.

This time, she was trying to capture Akinaine, the son of a newly-rich merchant.

Because Akinaine is the child of an upstart, some of the sons of high-ranking nobles resent him.

So, originally, he should be bullied in class

His textbook should be hidden, and he should be desperately searching for it, holding back tears

But in reality.

No matter how desperately Sara Salar searched, she couldnt find the son of an upstart being bullied anywhere.

The student named Akinaine, although enrolled in the academy

Has already improved his relationship with the sons of high-ranking nobles, and theyre all laughing and getting along.

In this situation, the event couldnt happen.

This is all because of that villainess, Ijiwaar, again! That wicked girl must have used her familys power to intervene beforehand, stopped Akinaine-kun from being bullied, and brought peace to his class As expected of a villainess, what a hateful, wicked act!

Well, if she brought peace to the class, thats a good deed.

It couldnt be the act of a villainess.

Putting that aside.

Sara Salars words, muttered as she bit her nails, were born from her delusions, without any evidence, but theyre actually correct.

The Ijiwaar shes referring to is Ijiwaar Deswaar, the Dukes daughter.

Indeed, Ijiwaar Deswaar, the Dukes daughter, unlike Sara Salar, acted before the bullying occurred and resolved the issue.

Originally, Ijiwaar should have been a selfish, arrogant girl who doesnt care about others.

But in reality, shes kind, cheerful, and although a bit tomboyish for a Dukes daughter, shes a popular girl whos liked by everyone.

Like Sara Salar, she excels in both academics and athletics, has a wonderful personality, and was born into a high position.

On top of that, despite her young age, shes already involved in various businesses the spinning technology called Ijiwaar Magical Weave she devised is creating a huge movement in the fashion culture of the Golden Continent.

Everyone praises her as a wonderful person.

Its as if shes loved by God, they say.

Well, she actually is loved.

Anyway, Sara Salar hated Ijiwaar.

She dislikes the fact that shes acting like a good girl despite being a villainess.

Its frustrating that only she knows that shes a villainess but no one believes her.

Ahh damn it!

Thinking about Ijiwaar, Sara Salars thoughts gradually became clouded, and she couldnt think straight.

And in the end, only the feeling of hating Ijiwaar remained.

And thats also really unpleasant, a source of irritation for her

Frustrated, Sara Salar scratched at her beautiful pink hair, messing it up.

It was at that moment.

?

Sara Salar felt a breeze gently caress her cheek.

Did someone forget to close a window?

Then she has to close it.

Sara Salar naturally thought so.

Although shes been made to act outlandishly when it comes to otome game matters, shes relatively good-natured and common-sense at her core.

If the window is left open, the room will get cold, and the heating costs will increase, and its a shame for the child who forgot to close it to be scolded.

Thinking that, Sara Salar walked towards the source of the wind, a door at the end of the corridor that seemed to be left open.

That room was the art room.

Is it empty?

She thought that and peeked through the open door, but

There was a boy in the room.

The boy was positioned in the center of the room, moving his arm intently towards a canvas.

He was painting.

A room filled with the setting sun, bright and glowing.

White curtains swaying in the wind.

Cold air caressing her skin.

The smell of paint.

A boy painting.

A scene that didnt appear in the otome game.

Sara Salar before she knew it

Stepped into the art room with a light heart.

Her heart is light, but

Her mind is strangely clear.

She felt that way.

The fog in her head, the irritation, the hatred

It seemed like those things had faded.

Hey.

Sara Salar spoke to the boy who was painting.
