I Favor The Villainess Chapter 46

Chapter 46
Manaria Sousa

“Nice to meet you . I’m Manaria Sousa . Everybody, let’s get along”

Saying so, Manarisama smiled refres.h.i.+ngly .

Strangely similar to schools in j.a.pan, in this academy there’s something like a homeroom before lectures .
Manarisama who was admitted as an exchange student, was told to introduce herself in front of everyone, also like in j.a.panese schools .
The beginning was her brief introduction .

She has rather short platinum blonde hair that gives her a boyish appearance, she attracted gazes of not only men, but also women .
Claire-sama, who’s sitting next to me, made a proud expression that for some reason made my nose twitch .

“Many of you may know, but Manarisama is the First Princess of the Sousa Kingdom . Everyone, don’t be impolite――”

“Tred-sensei . It’s an unneeded worry”

Manarisama interrupted Tred-sensei’s words with that .

“Regardless of the Sousa Kingdom, I came to this country as just a student . It’s no problem if you treat me normally . Everyone, please let’s be friends”

Like she’s acting a bit, she put her hands to her chest, bent at her waist, and bowed her head .
Then, she raised her head, once again showing a refres.h.i.+ng broad smile .
I could almost see a flowery screentone floating around her like in shoujo manga .

“As expected of Onee-sama”

Sure enough, Claire-sama reddened slightly while gazing at her in admiration .

“Let me just tell you this, Manarisama . As the First Princess you probably won’t be treated as you wish”

Tred-sensei made a troubled face .
Although teacher received a peerage, he was originally a commoner, he seems unable to hide his bewilderment at treating royalty without appropriate courtesy .
Rather than a genuine n.o.ble, he has the disposition of a researcher, otherwise he would be unable to teach in this academy with many n.o.ble students .

“Even if it’s said I’m the First Princess, it’s in name only . As I’d been caught in a succession struggle, I was basically got rid of as a nuisance”

It took time for Tred-sensei and most students to understand the meaning of what she smoothly said with a smile .

“Studying abroad is an official stance . In reality, I was banished”

When Manarisama put it simply, the cla.s.sroom became astir .
Contrary to my expectations that Claire-sama would be shaken, she didn’t appear that shocked .

“Were you aware?”
“Yeah . It is an annoying matter”

According to Claire-sama, she seems to have frequently exchanged letters with Manarisama and heard that studying abroad is just a pretense for banishment .
For Claire-sama who adores Manarisama such humiliation is unpardonable .

“That’s why, I’m not a princess anymore . Everyone, please treat me as your equal”

There’s no sign of her putting on brave front .
She’s happily smiling from the bottom of her heart .
It was a smile br.i.m.m.i.n.g with such charm that the heavy mood improved .

“Cough . Let’s take our time to think about Manarisama’s treatment, for now I’ll start a regular lecture”

Saying so, Tred-sensei urged Manarisama to take a seat .

“Got it . Tred-sensei”

Manarisama promptly responded and came here .
Then, she sat to Claire-sama’s left, opposite of me .

“Yo, Claire . Long time no see”
“It has been a long time, Onee-sama . I am glad you are well”

Claire-sama replied with a smile to intimately smiling Manarisama .

“To disregard a person like Onee-sama, and nominate such a fool as a successor, Sousa’s king knows nothing”
“Ahaha . Don’t say that . After all I’m an illegitimate daughter”
“However――”

“However――”
“You know, being apart from family squabbles is rather refres.h.i.+ng . I’m free now”

Manarisama’s smile devoid of malice stopped Claire-sama who was about to continue .
That’s surely because Manarisama spoke her true feelings .

“I understand . If Onee-sama says so, I will not say anything more”
“Thank you . By the way, who’s she?”

Manarisama light brown eyes looked at me with great interest .

“My servant . You, introduce yourself”
“I’m Rei Taylor . My beloved Claire-sama’s manservant . Please treat me well”
“Hee, manservant…”

To my joke, Manarisama for some reason smiled with admiration .

“Hey you, what are you trying to make Onee-sama think!? She is just my servant, a servant!”

Claire-sama hurriedly corrected me .
I’m dissatisfied .

“I haven’t heard of that name . Is she a n.o.ble from other country than Bauer Kingdom?”
“No, this person is a commoner . She is disgracing this traditional and prestigious academy . It is not unreasonable Onee-sama was not aware”
“Hee, for this academy to let in a commoner, I’m sure she’s excellent”

In contrast with Claire-sama who’s dissing me with an amazing vigor, Manarisama has a favorable att.i.tude .
Seemingly not amused, Claire-sama continued .

“Even if it is said she is excellent, she is far from Onee-sama . Listen . Do not get carried away just because you possess two attributesDual Caster? Onee-sama is the only four attributesQuad Caster holder in the world”

Claire-sama proudly said as if it was her who possessed them .
Cute .

What Claire-sama said is true .
Before, I think I mentioned that Tred-sensei is the only three attributesTriple Caster holder in the kingdom, but Manarisama is the only confirmed four attributesQuad Caster holder in the world .
Moreover, unlike Tred-sensei, whose many attributes have low apt.i.tudes, Manarisama is an outrageous person who has high apt.i.tudes in all attributes .
As Claire-sama said, I can’t possibly measure up to her .

“I don’t feel proud of something that was decided before I was born . However, it is convenient”
“What are you saying . Onee-sama was blessed by G.o.d”

Claire-sama corrected Manarisama’s grumbling .
Not that it matters, but Claire-sama likes Manarisama too much .

“Manarisama, Claire-sama . I’m sorry, but I am in the midst of explaining right now . Could you leave catching up for later”

Tred-sensei said truly apologetically .

“Oops . I’m sorry, Tred-sensei”
“I am sorry”

The two obediently apologized and became quiet .

“Er, then, for the Amour’s Festival that’s scheduled for the end of this month…”

Tred-sensei’s talk continued .
While I was listening carefully to his voice that became somewhat hoa.r.s.e from age,

(Hey, Rei . Do you have a moment?)

a voice resounded in my head .

(Ah . Sorry for doing it so suddenly . It’s a magic to directly address your mind . I can’t really peek inside your mind, so be at ease?)

The owner of this voice is Manarisama .

(I am aware)
(Ah, you understand how to communicate with thoughts?)
(Only because Manarisama opened the channel can I use it…)

Thought communication is a type of the wind attribute magic, it’s like telepathy .
If a user with a high apt.i.tude opens a channel, even those unable to cast it can use it .

(So, what do you want?)
If a user with a high apt.i.tude opens a channel, even those unable to cast it can use it .

(So, what do you want?)
(Yup . I was curious about you)

It came, I thought .

Manarisama properly appears in Revolution .
Along with Misha, she’s one of the few protagonist’s allies .
Manarisama has a special skill to manage Claire-sama, it’s a rare disposition .

Manarisama is Claire-sama’s distant relative, Claire-sama was left at Manaria’s residence at young age .
It was just after Claire-sama lost her mother .
Claire-sama, who grew with Manarisama like they were sisters, admires Manarisama and is no match for her .
For that reason, Manarisama who became protagonist’s ally, became a s.h.i.+eld against Claire-sama .

By deepening friends.h.i.+p with her, she attracts Claire-sama’s attention while you pile up trysts with princes, it was one of the techniques from middle stages onwards in Revolution .

However―― .

(I’m just a boring commoner . Manarisama doesn’t need to pay any attention to me)

I bluntly answered .

I have no interest in capturing the princes, rather as I’d like to enjoy trysts with Claire-sama, Manarisama’s existence is unimportant .
Rather, I’m jealous of Claire-sama having a greatly favorable impression of her .
Or more precisely, she’s an enemy .

(Nn, that reaction is fresh . I’m becoming more and more interested)

Glancing at Manarisama sidelong, a bad smile is floating on her face .

(… A troublesome person has come)

Without caring about thought communication, I muttered to myself .
