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

I could tell by the look on her face that this place held significance to her.

…This world was really full of wonders, wasn’t it? I didn’t feel like I was in an Otome Game world.

The world I was living in was so complicated that I was tempted to think that some information from this world might have entered the brain of someone from my previous life and created an Otome Game out of it.

Thinking about this, I felt as if my face was going to touch the ground at any moment.

Was I going to die? The moment I realized that I felt my soul nearly leave my body, I stopped falling and floated in midair. It was a common occurrence in some fiction for the body to stop just before landing, but I never thought I would experience such a thing myself.

It was terrible.

I almost kissed the flower garden.

I glanced sideways at Sheena, who was standing surrounded by flowers with a cool expression on her face.

“…Why?”

Just as I muttered that, I fell to the ground with a thud.

It didn’t really hurt, but why was I the only one who landed so awkwardly!

I immediately stood up and glared at Sheena. She didn’t seem the least bit afraid of my glare and returned a smile.

“I’ll have Alicia-sama train here.”

“…In such a fairy-tale like place?”

I couldn’t help but tilt my head.

Sheena’s statement surprised me, and I instantly forgot about my embarrassment at the awkward way I had landed.

This place seemed more like a place to relax than a place to work out….

The clean air and pretty little flowers. Furthermore, they release a sweet, sleepy fragrance.

I looked up at the sky from which I had fallen from.

The sky was clear and cloudless with a vivid blue tint. …How exactly was this working?

“Who’s my partner?”

“…I don’t know.”

“What do you mean?”

“Different people fight with different partners.”

…What an exciting turn of events!

Did it really seem like God would come from the sky?

Sheena, sensing the sparkle in my eyes, gave me a wry smile.

“In my case, it was Kushana.”

For a moment, I couldn’t understand her words.

I paused in my thoughts and parroted back, “Kushana?”

“Yes. . the one I most wanted to fight and didn’t want to fight.”

“Does that mean I’m fighting a phantom?”

“It’s a little different, to put it crudely, but that’s how it should work. It is an illusion that is as close to real as possible. The face, the physique, the personality, even the abilities are all the same.”

Was that magic? I was about to ask, but decided not to.

I didn’t think it was a question I should be asking now. I could ask as many questions as I wanted after the training that was about to begin.

“Who did Kushana fight?”

“…I can’t tell you that.”

“I see. …And what happens if you don’t beat this opponent?”

“You will die.”

“What?” I let out a small gasp.

“Strictly speaking, your soul will be sucked out of you.”

Sheena said in a calm tone.

It was true that losing a battle was the same as dying. But I didn’t understand what she meant by having your soul taken from you.

Because, who would take it…? Enma?

“I don’t understand, but you’re not going to tell me anything now, are you?”

“Yes. When it’s over, you’ll know all about it.”

A warm wind blew softly, gently blowing our hair. I squinted in the direction the wind was coming.

Sheena’s voice was clear as she said, “It’s time.”

Time for what? I turned to look at her, but she was no longer there.

“Good luck.”

Her last words were the only ones that rang in my ears.
