My Sister the Heroine, and I the Villainess - Chapter 97

Chapter 97

Translator: Casbrin

At this Academy, the student council room was a sanctuary of sorts .

Teachers hardly came, and there are restrictions on which students can enter .

For the student council room, no one except members can enter . The student council members were a collection royalty and particularly, high ranking nobles . There is a terrifying story that once there was a commoner elected to the student council, but the backlash was so great they eventually ran away from the school for good .

Listening to a story like that, it makes me think this school is really warped .

In our country, there has been a rise in affluent families who aren’t part of the aristocracy . For that reason, a school where a person’s parent’s wealth or status was irrelevant was needed . Aside form nobles, rich families became to control the economy too, unlike previous schools, it was hoped that this school would be a great equaliser since it made dormitory mandatory .

However, as it’s prestige as a learning institution rose, previously home educated royalty even begun to attend the school .

Because of that, social classes ended up seeping through the whole school, and, well, there’s not much that can be done about that .

Well, my fate won’t let me stay until graduation anyway . For a school that has become entrenched with the distorted structure of this country, nothing can be done .

Basically, the student council room is perfect for having conversations you don’t want others hearing .

In that very same student council room, His Highness and I were sitting across from each other .

“Well then Your Highness . How was yesterday . Did it go well?”

That isn’t to say it was just the two of us . My second in command, Rona, who was also secretary of the student council, was here as well, but she was currently preparing tea in another room . Having read the situation, she had made herself scarce .

Our conversation topic was, of course, the encounter between His Highness and Michelie yesterday . Even though I had provided him with a perfect situation, I couldn’t help worrying about how the main actor, His Highness, could mess up .

“It greatly troubles me, whether or not I ought to trust someone like you . ”

I asked for details on yesterday, so why did I get this nonsense instead?

With no clue why he said that, I could only incline my head in confusion .

While I didn’t tell His Highness about my previous life’s knowledge and my destiny, I did let him know in advance that I would harass Michelie .

“… . What do you mean? Was there a mistake somewhere in the advice I gave you?”

“Rather, you were greatly mistaken . You were fundamentally wrong in the information you gave me . ”

“Ha?”

What do you mean fundamentally?

How could there be a fundamental flaw in my carefully prepared plan? As if I would believe such a stupid false claim . I say I can’t believe it but, these are the words of someone who was there I can’t just ignore them .

In this carefully planned story I have to act as both the director and as an actor . If there is a discrepancy, then it makes things different from the fate I’m supposed to love . No matter what, I have to fix this .

“What exactly was wrong . Michelie was surely crying in that cafeteria . It ought to have made a favourable impression if you went there and comforted her . ”

“Aaah, well she was crying . ”

His Highness confirmed what I had said .

If it was like that, then there couldn’t have been anything wrong with my advice .

“Michelie was so happy she was moved to tears . ”

Wait a, that makes no sense .

“How could you tell me to go and comfort Michelie when she was crying of happiness huh . I have no idea what you want from me . ”

“Eh? Wha, what do you mean?”

“… . I don’t have any more words for someone as dense as you . After all, I should really stop putting my trust in you huh . ”

Grr, this conceited prince .

“What’s with that . Isn’t this Your Highness’ misunderstanding? Isn’t this just you misreading the perfect situation I set up? How unsightly, to fail and then blame me!”

“Shut it ugly . Rather…”

Ignoring my complaints, His Highness changed topic .

Since it’s not going in his favour he’s trying to escape now huh . However I’m not in the mood to be deceived . I was about to snap back at him when-

“Christina Noir . You haven’t seen Charles yet . ”

From this inconvenient topic he presented, I quickly looked away .

“Wha, What are you talking about . ”

“I’m saying, that even though Charles has entered the academy, you still haven’t shown your face in front of him . ”

“… . . Shut it . ”

Why do I have to hear things like this from Endo .

Even though I think that, I can’t argue back . While I am still at this school, I will not meet Charles, this is the reality I have chosen .

As I sunk into silence, Endo let out a sigh .

“Honestly, whatever happened to change your heart three years ago, It has nothing to do with me . Since it’s convenient I thought I could utilize it, I thought as long as you don’t get in my way it was enough . That’s why I’m not going to look into it . ”

He was going to look the other way at my strange behaviour .

His Highness has matured into an adult . By actually interacting with people, he has gained a sense of balance with human relations . For Endo, it seem these four years as a student has had a positive influence on his personality .

I will honestly recognise this .

“It’s a problem between you and Charles . Anyway, you’re the one who will regret it in the end . It not something I should be involved in .

“… . . I don’t regret it at all . ”

I pursed my lips .

I have, I have done what I must do . I have no room for regrets . That’s why, unless it is necessary for my plan, I will not reach toward anything else .

I am in love with Charles . That feeling will never change .

However, there is not even a year left until my ruin .

ALthough i decided to force the progression of Endo’s route, knowing what I do, to meet Charles, it just too cruel . I don’t care about me, but I will never drag Charles into an end that will only cause him sadness,

Endo who knows nothing of my considerations for others, simply scoffs .

“Whatever is up with your feelings, I don’t care . Don’t underestimate Charles though . He is… . frankly terrifying . ”

To Endo’s faraway look, even I smile bitterly .

Surely because we’re both his family, we understand perfectly . And even I agree with him on that .

“I know”

Charles is that sort of person .

I know that much after all . Charles is honest with his own feelings, which is even more reason why I must not waver . Without caring about the surroundings, faithful to his desires, that attitude, is such that sometimes it is frightening .

But, my remaining time isn’t even a full year . Even Charles, by himself there’s nothing he can do .

With my solemn agreement, the conversation has abruptly ended . seeing that out conversation has quietened down, Rona has returned with tea .

“Please, lady Christina . I put my whole heart into this tea . ”

“Thank you . ”

Drinking the tea Rona presented with a smile, I find some calm .

Since there is no more reason to converse with His highness, I shall make idle chat wit Rona instead .

“How is the student council doing? With His Highness, things must be quite difficult . ”

“Yes . two years ago was especially difficult . Really, his HIghness knew nothing about the the hearts and minds of people in this world… . Recently though his attitude has become a lot more understanding . ”

Endo seems to be making a bitter face at our remarks . Serves you right .

“When I think of how lady Christina shall be the next student president, I will do my utmost!”

“…I, I see . ”

I can only ignore the words Rona says, as her smile knows nothing of what will happen in the near future . It is good to throw in my surroundings and express harsh words, but it is an idea that I become a Yes-Man .

In the first place, the president is decided by a vote amongst the student council . Strictly speaking, I am an outsider . I am not a member of the Student Council . I only come here because it’s convenient to talk to Endo, I could never be the president since I don’t even belong to the student council in the first place .

“Don’t talk about such odd things, Ronafia I will never allow a savage like her to become the student council president of our esteemed school . ”

“Hmm . Is that so, Your highness…”

To the words of His Highness, the current president, Rona responds with an ice cold voice .

Her eyes cold, Rona extends a cup to Endo .

“If you please, Your Highness . I wholeheartedly put some tap water in a cup for you . ”

“Oi”

Preparing in advance, Rona is someone who can really read the atmosphere .
