Given That I've Become a Villainess, I'd Like to Live Freely

"Don't you like Routh?

"... I don't know. But when I'm with him, I feel safe and happy, so I think maybe I like him.

"Really?" He said, looking back at me differently than he had found a target.

"I like Raus. So you and I are rivals!

What? What? What? Suddenly a rival declaration!?)

Suddenly he was appointed a competitor.

My competitor suddenly appeared even though I realized I was in love earlier when Master Linoa told me.

(Well, it could have been much later if it had not been for Master Linoa to realize this thought. No, but I can't believe you're suddenly declared a rival...)

"Oh, you know, what's a rival?

I asked Master Linoa with a rough nose.

"Pfft. I'm glad! I went to school because of it. Speaking of school, it's not love! When it comes to love, it's a rival. There was no such thing in the Land of Earth. So happy!

She jumps happily with Piong Piong.

There was no sharp vibe until earlier or poor tricks the first time we met, it just seemed like it was moving as instinct... with a very lively Master Linoa in front of me.

"... sama... li... dear... linoa!

We noticed that someone was calling for Master Linoa a little further away.

"Dear Linoa, someone..."

The person who had called Lord Linoa appeared before us.

"Hmm? Was Roselia here too?

"That's unusual, Rose and Linoa."

The person who showed up was His Royal Highness Eric... and Elle, the subject of earlier.

"Raus! Are you here to call me?

I happily entangle my own arm in Elle's arm and ask Elle. The trick is so cute and even I of the same sex come cum.

"His Highness Eric was looking for Linoa. You were told you couldn't just go away on your own, right?

Elle doesn't try to take that arm off while frowning.

(... when you realize something, and then you look at it... and it's not like it's gonna work.)

"Why don't you take that arm off!? Does Elle like Master Linoa? 'What a word is going to come out, desperate and conscious not to open your mouth.

Miss Linoa, I'll show you around.

"Will Your Highness guide you? But Raus will do the escort, won't he?

"Well, I have business with Rose. And the escort will be done by His Highness Eric.

When I said that, he gently removed Master Linoa's arm and came to me.

Miss Linoa, I'm sorry, but I need you to be patient with me.

I don't look “sorry” at all. His Highness Eric forced Master Linoa to escort him.

(That's more like an escort... not listening. It's like I'm pulling a dog with a lead, is that okay?)

"Rose, has Linoa done anything to you? Are you okay?"

I leaned over to Elle, who looked worried and peeked into my face, not to find out what I thought earlier.

"Something done!?

As a result, it took a little while for Elle to correct a different mistake.
