Chapter 80 - Volume 5 (2/2)

“Hey, what’s that person, wait, it’s Kako, what’s that villainous woman doing…”

*pon*

“Missy, what are you doing over there?”

“……eh”

Inside the fence of the school, every several dozen meters, there was a direct communication line to the guards, a [Report Button] had been installed. It was just nice that it was close by.

Just 2 minutes after pressing the button, a security guard was tapping Matsuri lightly on the shoulder.

“I am the heroine of this world” then,

“When I’m done with my plan, I’ll bury you” then,

“Hey, say something to these guys, what are you doing!” then

She cried out a lot and was taken elsewhere.

By the way, it was famous amongst some people that the security guards of Takamine were unforgiving to even minors who trespassed, thanks to the example of high school girls.

Oh my~, I got to see something I don’t usually get to see often.

By the way, I shot everything that happened properly on my mobile phone.

＊＊＊

Matsuri was born as an only daughter to an ordinary house in the suburbs.

Although her father was occasionally absent at times when she was growing up and her mother worked in the nightlife business, she never had to live in need. Because her neighbors were friendly people, she grew up without ever feeling like she was lonely.

Her steady mother dedicated herself to raising Matsuri alone as a single mother.

Matsuri had the talent to charm and attract men unwittingly, and growing up with her bright and cheerful personality in the suburbs, she was beloved by everyone.

With this kind of upbringing, she would have grown into a ‘little devil’ that attracted men unconsciously and innocently.

However, when her mother remarried with the president of a start-up company, a certain event caused her life to flow in a different direction.

“……I…… am Sakurazaki Matsuri.”

It was a little different from the spelling of the Sakurazaki that was the surname of her new father, but she noticed that her appearance in the mirror looked like the heroine of the Otome game [Layered Love Mille-feuille ~ Ikemen Paradise~] that she had played many times.

And at that moment she whispered those words, a huge volume of memories rushed back into her, and her little brain couldn’t tolerate the load, and when she woke up from her sleep a couple of days later, she was the Matsuri of now.

Matsuri recalled the memories of her previous life. The details were ambiguous, but she was now fully combined with the Matsuri of her previous life.

The Matsuri of her past-life was the student of a school that would enroll any student just because they were lacking in student numbers, and played this game through the night for four days and lost her life because she fell asleep while eating steamed buns.

However, Matsuri delighted that she was born again into this world rather than being in her previous life.

Although she had heard of reincarnation in the world of games, she realized that this was the world of the Otome game [Layered Love Mille-feuille ~ Ikemen Paradise~].

The story of the game started from the Middle school of Takamine School where the sons of the upper class gathered and their graduation six years from then was the stage.

Here, Matsuri, as the healthy daughter of the suburbs, was going to grow her ‘love’ with the capture targets.

There were 5 capture targets.

Kuon Kouki.

The grandson of the Kuon family that was both a lawmaker and a celebrity, suffered from his grandfather’s involvement in bribing, and when one encountered an event where he went out in the middle of the night with a popularity rating of over 50%, one would hear of his troubles, and would change from friends to the path to lovers.

Nikuno Handsome.

The scion of a well-known meat processing company, he was convinced that he was cursed by the animals which became meat and wouldn’t live long, and was stressed and became fat from overeating.

He was troubled by having to slim down when the engagement event happened, and the flag was established by solving his troubles.

Besides this, there was the black-hearted glasses-wearing friend of Kouki in the student council, for which events wouldn’t be generated unless their compatibility was 80% or more.

A boy born in a temple that used his mysterious power to solve the problem of Handsome Prince, and his love level wouldn’t rise unless Handsome Prince’s event progression went past 70%.

A young teacher, who was distressed over his name being “The electric beast of a certain game”, solved the problem of Handsome Prince who was also a fellow sufferer, and the compatibility would become negative if one didn’t take part in his intervention.

Evidently, this game was a multiple simultaneous strategy simulation, and the final goal was to make a [Ikemen Paradise Harem] like the title suggested.

In order to avoid the criticisms that such a thing was impossible in reality, the final happy end was a rare relationship without marital relationships which could be called a “carnal paradise”, which even included R-rated content. The game was a phantom game that was discontinued 3 months after release.

From her previous experience playing this game for more than 2000 hours without studying, she knew what was essential for the initial capture of Kouki and Handsome Prince.

Finding out at last about the Takamine School that was slightly different in setting and name from the game, Matsuri wondered if there were other differences since the game became a reality, and unable to wait until she entered secondary school, she forced her new father to move her to the primary school.

As for this world, it was [Reality] and not the [Game World].

It was only a story that a game scenario writer managed to write by chance by seeing what happened in reality in a kind of “prophetic dream”.

Still, by following the content of the game, Matsuri’s hope could come true to a certain extent.

Only, there was this one person…… there was a [Girl] that hadn’t appeared before in this world.

Author’s Notes:

Come to think of it, if this was to be placed within a sub-genre, what would it be? Urban low-fantasy? Or thinking about the 3rd book, high fantasy?
