I’ll Become a Villainess That Will Go Down in History

“…So why am I even in the drawing room?”

Finn-sama and Curtis-sama dragged me half-heartedly out of sword practice and into the drawing room.

Of course, I had not yet changed. I was still in my sweaty practice clothes.

I wondered why these two men showed such a lack of apology for taking me away, and why Big Brother Albert was here at their beck and call.

It was a call from Big Brother Henry for Finn-sama and Curtis-sama, which meant that Big Brother Albert and I were better off without them.

Why must I feel so distant in my own home?

I sat down on the sofa in front of me and glanced at Finn-sama and Curtis-sama, who seemed to be enjoying themselves.

I addressed Big Brother Albert, who was sitting next to me, in a small voice.

“Brother, I want to change my clothes.”

“…Yeah, me too.”

“How can those two be so…bossy?”

I was wondering the same thing.

“Can I just get out of here?”

“No. Don’t leave me alone.”

It was easier to talk with other men. I was sure there would be plenty to talk about without me…

At any rate, since they came all the way to our house, they should have some kind of conversation with me.

I opened my mouth to talk about something.

“Are you two in love?”

…Why!

Alicia! Why would you ask such a question!

How could I be so stupid? The only thing that came to mind was love.

In every region, in every time period, “love stories” were always a lot of fun.

But I was sure that it was not the topic of conversation here and now. My choice of topic was wrong.

Finn-sama and Curtis-sama both looked at me with wide eyes, as if they didn’t expect me to ask such a question.

I also felt a look of surprise from Big Brother Albert next to me.

I know, I know. It was unbelievable that I, someone with almost zero deviation from love, would bring up the subject of love.

I was starting to feel sad after saying it to myself. Let’s not talk about love anymore.

“…Let’s talk about something different. Has anything interesting happened recently?”

I said with a light smile, trying to loosen the hardened air.

“Now.”

I let out a reflexive “What?” at Finn-sama’s answer.

“Just now, Alicia, your reaction was so funny.”

“…I am not amused at all. The answer was rejected.”

I said to Finn-sama, narrowing my eyes.

“Eh, why!”

“What about Curtis-sama?”

I ignored Finn-sama and turned my attention to Curtis-sama.

He, too, was in the mood to give the same answer as Finn-sama, but I prevented him from doing so with a smile.

“Well…you know…funny thing…”

“Let’s get back to Alicia’s topic earlier.”

Curtis-sama was at a loss for words when Big Brother Albert entered the conversation from the side.

I just changed the subject, and now it was a complete waste of time!

“You want to talk about love…?”

I looked at Big Brother Albert with some suspicion. He grinned at me.

“A love story between Finn and Curtis would only be an interesting story, no matter which way you look at it.”

“…Indeed.”

I nodded broadly at Big Brother Albert’s words.

I felt kind of embarrassed and changed the subject, but I’m simply curious to see what kind of romance they’re having.

This was a world where things were no longer as they were in the scenarios of Otome games.

I was very curious to know what kind of romance they are having when they are not into Liz-san.
