Reiko’s Manners – She’s Referred To As A Villainess, But Actually She’s Just Penniless

feelings are the most important.
I also wasn't thinking of dismissing Mr.
Sakurada for this one.
After all, his charisma is amazing.
However, management these several years was terrible.
He probably became arrogant.”
“He is only an upstart, after all.”

Lady Sara in her irrepressible anger said that Lady Yuria Sakurada didn't have the pedigree to be normally allowed to be a member of the Meisei Academy salon.
Lord Souju had kindly explained to me.

The prestigious private Meisei Academy operated through large donations.
However, immediately after the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers in 2008, they could no longer gather their expected amount of donations due to the recession.
Then, the daughter of the president of the rising Sakurada Online enrolled in their elementary school.
The Sakurada family did not possess the pedigree that would allow them to normally enroll in their elementary school.
Therefore, Lady Yuria Sakurada was an irregular existence among the salon members.
As such, Lady Yuria Sakurada was ridiculed as a part of the nouveau riche.
However, since she was a salon member, she was classified as the upper echelon in the hierarchy.
The sons and daughters of the vieux riche distanced themselves from her, so she ended up sticking to her friends and her childhood friend Lord Katsuragi in the salon.
Those friends were also capture targets: Lord Yuu Madenokouji who was expected to become poor and Lord Mihail Madoka Shiroyama, the pianist.

“It's an unrelated story to me, being that I'm at the lowest level of the hierarchy.
Lady Sara and Lord Souju are at the top of the hierarchy, right?”
“Well, I guess, but that's the same for Mr.
Katsuragi.
I hate that guy, though.
He goes at his own pace too much.”

I think that Lord Souju also considerably went at his own pace.

“Lord Katsuragi is also a capture target, but so is Dr.
Ichijou.
He said that he knew her since they were young since he was a relative of his elder sister's in-law.”
“Ichijou is also a capture target?!”

Lord Takaoka spat out the coffee he was drinking in surprise.
They were classmates in school.
While he seemed mostly aware of the events surrounding Lady Yuria Sakurada's delusions, it appeared that he didn't know that Dr.
Ichijou was a capture target.

“It's a problem for a teacher to fall in love with a student.
It is an infringement of morality.
It'll be a problem if Dr.
Ichijou were to fall in love with the heroine, Ms.
Miu Yuuki.”
“Ichijou with a female student… I can kinda imagine him doing that.
Back in high school, he was quite the gaudy playboy.”

This matched up with his flashy appearance.
Dr.
Ichijou did not betray our expectations.

“So, Ichijou told Yuria Sakurada's parents that she hurt a student and needed to apologize.
But, that guy used too few words.
If he had at least said that it was the daughter of the prestigious Kujouin family, they would've investigated who the student was.”
“Even if you criticize the doctor, it can't be helped.
He gave me some delicious tea and cookies.
I don't think he's a bad person.”
“Rei, you were really easily bribed with food.
You should be careful.”

Consolidating Lady Sara's and Lord Souju's stories, Lady Yuria Sakurada acted as a docile lady in front of the male students but an arrogant nouveau riche in front of the female ones.
Her followers adhered themselves to her like glue in hopes of getting some of the leftovers.
Since she was still close to Lord Katsuragi and those friends, a group of prestigious ladies also became friends with her since they desired that influence.
So, such a girl hit her head and remembered her past life.
She was a commoner in that past life, but the only detailed memories she had were about the otome game.
If that was true, then how much did she enjoy otome games?

“In that case, how about I too be the villainess who remembered her past life? That way, we can make her realize that I am not her enemy.
If we're lucky, we can get a grasp on the contents of her delusion.”
“Why must Rei have to do such a thing?!”
“That’s right.
You should just crush Yuria Sakurada.”

I wanted to handle the situation amicably and didn't want to cause everyone any more trouble.

“I think that there is value in trying, so I would like to try resolving the issue this way.
I am not a doctor and thus cannot cure her.”

Lady Sara and Lord Souju look discontent.
However, I was stubborn.
I would make them agree.
The plan afterward was to have dinner together with the three of them as well as their grandparents.
They said I can be at ease, but truthfully, I was nervous.

Dinner was held in the expansive solarium.
The garden beyond the glass was illuminated.
This was probably done according to the lighting designer.
It was wonderfully magical.
We sat down first.
Lord Takeru Hongou and his wife Lady Youko Hongou slowly walked in afterward.
I stood up from my seat and greeted them.

“Oh, my! It's like Lady Mary Shirasagi has visited us!”

AAAH! Did my face really look like Lady Mary's?! Ah, I hope my personality isn't a match as well.
With that unease in mind, dinner started.
