Reincarnated as the Villainess's attendant

Zoemi had a problem with the younger of the Victureo siblings – although Ehmi clearly said that Grazio wanted to apologize, but that simply had to be a misunderstanding on her part – but Zoemi came up with a rather petty but completely non-aggressive way to annoy the red-haired capture target.

|...what if I become good friends with his sister...? Wouldn't that piss Grazio off...? The only mention about her in the game, that I know about, was that Grazio was extremely protective of her... I wonder what kind of face will he make if he sees me talking with her with my face all healed up...!|

Inflicting mental damage on his most hated person was such a great prospect that he started smiling to himself and surprisingly enough, his eyes lost the light in them...

"...whoa..."

...but shockingly enough, that expression seemed to catch Ehmi's attention and really captivate her while she was at it...

"Hmph! Fine! I'm not a petty person!"

"..."

Zoemi felt a tiny hand touching his shoulder and shook his head to clear his mind of the petty revenge plans – at least for a moment...

"From now on just don't forget to greet me when we pass each other! And since I'm so merciful, you don't need to kneel in front of me or anything! And you can call me Ehmi, too!"

What that girl lacked in height she tried very hard to make up for with overbearingness and haughtiness – to a varying degree – still, if she wanted to be cute she did an amazing job.

...if she wanted to be treated seriously though...

...well...

"As you wish, lady Ehmi."

Zoemi nodded gratefully showing off a proper way to act and straightened his back.

"No. Only Ehmi."

The platinum-haired girl muttered and grabbed onto Zoemi's sleeve.

|HNGH...!|

The black-haired boy somehow stopped himself from loudly gasping at this sudden forwardness and took a deep breath before answering her.

"As you wish, Ehmi."

He agreed politely – knowing that if high nobles had a single thing in common, it would be getting their way and it was simply best to just play long.

"Mhmhmhm~! Unya-aaaaa-ah...!"

The short girl nodded with a cute smile of satisfaction and then she suddenly stepped away from the black-haired boy, then yawned and stretched.

"It was a nice talk but pardon me – a mature lady needs her beauty sleep~!"

"..."

She waved her hand benevolently and returned to her room leaving Zoemi stunned at how much her mature voice didn't fit her petite frame.

"..."

"...?!"

But it seemed that Ehmi wasn't quite done with him yet, as before she closed the door, her hair lost all the pink hue and the deceivingly young-looking girl turned around with a soft smile as the actual high and mighty aura suddenly returned to her, making Zoemi straighten hs back and want to kneel down in an instant.

"Goodnight Zoemi."

"...!"

The platinum-haired girl smiled at him and closed the door

"Goodnight, my lady."

Zoemi couldn't understand why, but as Ehmi spoke those words he was submerged in an unexplainable nostalgia and ended up kneeling in front of the closed door for a full minute before he realized what was going on.

"...huh...?"

Finally, he flinched and shook his head like a dog exiting a bath.

|Ah! What am I doing!? She said that Burushi used all the words from the game – what if she is a reincarnated person too?!|

The black-haired boy realized and got up, running in the direction pointed out by the young lady Victureol at the beginning of their conversation.

|But why in the world would she go to Xeonith too?! Wasn't he trying to grope her before?!|

...Zoemi thought to himself in confusion while running as silently as possible as he bit his lips...

----

"...good luck..."

The door to Ehmi's room opened and the platinum-haired peeked at the rushing attendant with a loving gaze.

"...my toy~"

She muttered to herself and smiled.

-------

"Where could she be...?"

Zoemi dashed out of the dormitory and started looking around but aside from teacher Rokiana standing by the fountain there was no one.

Rokiana noticed the black-haired attendant, smiled, and waved at him.

She was holding the glowing green communication crystal up to her ear.

"Zoemi! Ah, senior, Zoemi came by here - Zoemi, do you want to talk with your dad?"

The blue-haired teacher smiled brightly while waving her free hand to the black-haired boy and came over to him in order to offer him the communication crystal connected to Mizoe.

"Good evening, teacher. I would love to, but I can't I really am in a hurry - please tell him I said hi!"

Zoemi took a step back and raised his hands while shaking his head refusing to take the crystal – he couldn't stop thinking that the green crystal would break because of him and he wasn't going to risk destroying something so expensive that Rokiana had to take a loan to buy...

"I have urgent business with young lord Derizno, you see... Oh...! Teacher, by any chance have you seen him somewhere around?"

Since Ehmi told Zoemi that the heroine left on a day with Xeonith, he figured out that considering the late time it would be better and less suspicious to ask about the boy rather than a girl.

After all, in case of suspicion, he could always say that he wanted to talk with him about close combat training that Xeonith was known for being a prodigy in.

"Senior, Zoemi can't talk right now, but he said hi!"

"..."

Rokiana conveyed his message instantly with a happy expression, kind of making it sound like she didn't hear the black-haired boy but as it turned out Rokiana did hear him very well just wanted to make sure that Mizoe was up to date with what was going on.

"And, yes, I saw him, he was together with student Burushitto though, they went behind the school building – If I remember correctly teacher Auequas is supposed to patrol there so watch out."

She pressed the shining crystal to her shoulder so that Mizoe wouldn't hear that.

"Should I go with you just in case...? She... well... I don't suppose that the two of you like each other very much, so it would be better to not give her a chance to mess with you..."

"...huh...?

The blue-haired woman asked with a worried expression, causing Zoemi to furrow his brows and look back at her cluelessly.

"There's a teacher with the same family name as me and she doesn't like me...?"

The black-haired boy asked tilting his head.
