My Sister the Heroine, and I the Villainess - Chapter 90

Chapter 90

Translator: Cryus

Usually during lunch break, I walk down the middle of a busy hallway .

There are always a lot of students, but the crowd doesn’t stop me .

That’s because people look at me as I’m walking, and they give me a lot of space . I can hear their whispers and squeals as I walk by .

I’ve been surrounded by people like that .

“……Hmph!”

I end up scaring them off with a loud snort . Today, I’m heading straight to the dining hall as I skipped classes, so there’s no one around me . Now that I’m alone, I’m probably going to stand out more .

This situation is surprisingly enjoyable .

For better or worse, it’s nice to be looked at . The faces of fear and awe are equally satisfying to me .

Squandering money downtown and keeping low company are actually fun to me, even though they’re actions unbecoming of a lady . My main hobbies now are buying and eating things from various places .

These types of behavior are unimaginable for a good student . I’ve built up to that image, so people are currently gossiping about me . Christina Noir, the daughter of the Duke, doing such things .

Of course, I’ve had to work towards building such a reputation, but it hasn’t been difficult . I might have had the personality befitting a villainess after all .

And I’ve been behaving very much like a villainess . My reputation as a person has been ruined, so only a few dare to stick around with me . I always take these few people with me around the school .

Although they’ve approached me because of my status as the Duke’s daughter, they’ve done no wrong at all . The reason they’re following me is probably because they want a share of the power I would eventually possess . I’m not so childish to deny that people sometimes form connections based on gain and benefit . When the time comes for my ruin, I’ll try to spare them from sharing my fate .

My objective right now is to meet Michelie .

Then, I’ll hurl some abuse at her . I’ll make it clear that she’s not my sister, and that a member of the Noir family leans on no one for support . I’ll say that in a sarcastic way, and set the event for Michelie’s bad start in school .

“……”

Hm .

My stomach hurts .

I’ve lost my appetite all of a sudden . I really want to leave early, but I can’t today . I can’t run off . If I do, then I will have wasted my efforts these past two years . Namely, bearing the pain of not seeing her at all, and also cutting off my ties with Surfania, Leon, and Charles .

It’s alright . Right now, I’m the top delinquent of the Academy, but I’m still a genius deep down . I can do it . I can’t turn back, not now .

“Alright . Come on, Christina . I’m a genius……!”

I mumble to myself and look up with renewed determination .

It’s the beginning of fate . The glorious stage of my ruin, and most of all, Michelie’s bright future . I proudly enter the dining hall to announce the opening act .

I start searching for Michelie by looking for the light of my beloved archangel . I notice that something’s different .

“Hm?”

I’m in the dining hall, but no one responds . Usually, someone would have spotted me, and everyone’s attention would gather on me like a ripple . There’s none of that now .

Instead, they seem to be focused on some kind of commotion in a corner of the dining hall .

“……What’s going on?”

I’m heading towards the center of attention . A few students notice me and look at me with astonishment, but that’s all .

I’m approaching the cause of the commotion, not as an onlooker, but as a furious person . This is the supposed to be the event that decides her future, and yet there’s something else going on and taking the spotlight away . I have to punish the people involved .

But the crowd is so dense that I can’t even make my way through to see what exactly is going on .

“Tch . ”

I click my tongue .

From what I can hear, it’s more one-sided than an actual argument . I can only hear a grating angry voice .

It’s irritating .

“Hey, let me through . ”

I announce my presence just loud enough for the crowd .

The students look at me first with suspicion, then with a shocked expression . Whether each of them noticed me or not, they hurriedly make way for me . This happens a few times before I manage to make my way in .

It’s tough, but my role here is to cruelly announce to Michelie who has just enrolled, “You’re not a member of the Noir family, and you’re not my sister at all . ” I have to make that loud and clear in front of all the students here .

So I prepare myself to take care of this stupid mess .

“Michelie Noir! I will never acknowledge you as the sister of Lady Christina!”

“?!”

Someone stole my line of abuse towards Michelie . At least now I know what the commotion is about, but I feel the urge to cough out loud .
