Chapter 3: I’m Not That Kind of Person

I stared blankly at her face.

Sparkling blue eyes.

Blonde hair braided to the side.

Everything was exactly the same as Elena’s appearance in the comic.

Seeing her made it even more clear.

That I was really possessed in the comic.

Yeah, it definitely has to be that level to be the heroine.

Seeing her, I could easily understand why there were many villains who said they liked Elena and followed her around in the story.

Because her face is the plot.

They wouldn’t have left her alone.

She may not know it.

But even before entering the academy, there were many flirtations towards her.

Of course, until now, because of Bella Hurt, the fool for his daughter, no one could easily approach her.

But in the academy, where the influence of the nobility is greatly reduced, problems begin to arise.

‘In the first place, the reason they get involved with the male lead is because of one of those incidents.’

The most important first meeting between the two in the scene where the comic begins in earnest.

The reason is to save Elena, who is in trouble.

And after that, it gradually changes to a relationship like a ‘some’.(TL note : some referes to relationship which is not official but have romantic feeling)

So.

I’m going to stay quiet without any contact with the main characters in the beginning.

Anyway, the two will automatically connect no matter what I do.

If I see any signs of it turning into a harem, it’s not too late to step in.

I can’t change the future by stepping in.

What I want to see is the love story of the two that I couldn’t see in the comic.

That’s why I decided to interfere with the main character’s harem.

For a moment, I was looking at Elena as if possessed, but I came to my senses again at the stinging gaze of the maid next to her.

I was worried that Elena might have a bad impression of me, so I ran out of the store.

When I breathed in the fresh air, I felt like I was coming back to my senses.

But I feel like I forgot something….

Oh, that’s right.

I forgot to buy pudding.

“Hmph! She knows she’s pretty.”

“Huh? What’s wrong, Ollie?”

Miss Elena, who was eating pudding with a happy face, looked at her strangely, as if she was staring at her surroundings with ax eyes.

“It’s nothing. Miss! It’s already tomorrow.”

It’s tomorrow.

The day has finally come for the young miss to enter the academy.

“I’m so worried.”

“Hehe. Don’t worry, Ollie. I can do it well, you know?”

The young miss confidently stretches out her chest and tells her to trust her.

‘That’s not what I’m worried about.’

But she swallowed the words she couldn’t bring herself to say.

What should I do with our innocent young miss?

She seems happy that she is finally getting out of the stuffy estate and going to the academy.

But I know.

So far, the people of the Marquis family have been protecting her with one heart.

But if she goes to the academy, many men will harass her.

Just like a moment ago.

I clearly saw a strange man with white hair staring blankly at his master and running out of the store.

It’s obvious.

He must have fallen in love with the young miss.

Well…, he was quite handsome.

But that’s not enough.

The young lady must be connected with a more wonderful person.

Like someone from a novel.

Good ability and handsome.

And….

Yeah, if possible, I wish he was a romantic person.

In addition, a pure heart that only looks at his young miss.

Nobles are legally allowed to have multiple wives.

But I hope that the young miss will not be sad at all.

The young miss is a really good person.

She never got angry even at a servant like me.

An angel-like being who always gives a happy smile to others.

So she must also receive the love she has given.

“Just trust me. Miss!”

“Hmm? Hehe. Okay, Ollie!”

Elena’s maid, Ollie, firmly vowed that she would make the young miss happy.

After leaving the store, I walked aimlessly down the street.

Before coming to the capital, there were many things I wanted to do.

Is it because I saw Elena?

I don’t feel like it anymore today.

Yeah, I can do that at any other time.

Let’s rest for today.

I was about to move to go to the inn that Berno had reserved in advance.

Thud.

“Ouch…!”

A boy who popped out of nowhere bumped into me and fell to the ground.

“I’m sorry!”

“It’s okay. But are you hurt anywhere?”

The boy who repeatedly bows his head and apologizes to me.

With a generous heart, I reached out and helped the fallen child up.

“I should have been looking straight ahead…. I’m sorry.”

“It can happen.”

I am a person who is infinitely generous to the weak.

I can forgive this kind of mistake.

A young face that looks like an elementary school student.

I brushed off the dust from the boy’s body.

“Thank you!”

The boy bowed his head to me and quickly ran away.

“He’s lively.”

Seeing that, I smiled for a moment.

Although this world is a world in a comic.

They are clearly living people.

I have been feeling it to the bone here.

That they are all living with their own souls.

I watched the boy walking away and started walking again.

And I was able to arrive at the inn that Berno mentioned in no time.

“It’s 10 gold per night.”

As soon as I arrived at the inn, I checked my reservation.

But unlike Berno’s words that he had booked the inn, the payment was not made at all.

What, Berno booked a room and didn’t even pay in advance…?

He’s subtly insensitive.

I felt it while training with him.

He’s a nice person.

How should I put it….

He seems a little clueless.

He should have paid first in this kind of situation.

Really.

Thinking of nagging Berno later, I put my hand in my pocket.

But.

I can’t feel anything.

My wallet is gone.

I’m embarrassed for a moment, but thoughts quickly pass through my head.

A moment ago.

The boy who bumped into me.

And the missing wallet.

“Could it be…?”

A secluded alley where sunlight does not enter.

The boy who bumped into Louis was sitting in a corner, bragging about his achievements to his younger siblings.

“Wow…. Awesome!”

A luxurious-looking wallet in his hand.

The other children around him admired the wallet.

“If I put my mind to it, this is nothing, you know?”

“Brother…. You’re so cool!!”

The boy, with his shoulders raised, struts around.

He moved his hand to open the wallet in the eyes of anticipation looking at him.

“Huh…? Why isn’t this opening?”

“Of course. Because it’s enchanted.”

“Eh?”

“Got you. You rat.”

“Ack!”

He was so focused.

He didn’t even notice me appearing behind him and lifted the scruff of the pickpocket’s neck, who was struggling to open the unopened wallet.

“H-how…?”

Only then did he notice my presence.

He began to be surprised with his eyes wide open.

Did he think that the wallet carried by the son of a count would have no device?

This cheeky brat?

Of course, anti-theft magic or tracking magic is basically installed.

That’s why pickpockets don’t easily touch the belongings of nobles.

If they get caught, their wrists will disappear easily.

But this cheeky brat didn’t seem to know that well.

Seeing how sloppy it is.

“Give me the wallet, will you?”

“No!”

Things didn’t go his way, so he decided to be stubborn.

He put my wallet in his arms and held it tightly as if he wouldn’t be robbed.

But no way.

I gave strength to forcefully take the wallet from the boy’s arms.

“Ugh…! I can’t give this!”

“Waaaaah! Don’t bully our brother!!”

“These guys…!”

The other brats around started to grab my legs and hit me with their small hands.

But no matter how much the brats gather, they can’t beat the strength of an adult man.

The moment I took my wallet back from the boy.

“What…. are you doing?”

A red-haired woman suddenly appeared in the alley.

Holding a wooden sword tightly in her hand, she was glaring at this side.

She seems to have entered this alley after hearing a loud noise.

But if you look at the situation right now, it’s a good situation for anyone to misunderstand that a strong man is bullying innocent children.

I hurriedly opened my mouth to explain the situation.

“It’s not like that. These guys…. Huh?”

What, where did they go?

The brats, who were clearly right next to me a moment ago, had all moved to the red-haired woman’s side.

“Help us!”

“That person bullied us!”

Haha. Look at those guys?

When did they go there?

As expected of pickpockets, their movements are very quick.

I was about to hurry and open my mouth before the other person misunderstood.

“You are a bad person.”

“…What?”

What is this person saying right now?

“I think there’s some misunderstanding….”

“No questions asked!”

“…Ack!”

This crazy woman?!?

I instantly ducked my head to avoid the sword that was being swung at me.

Although it is a wooden sword made of wood.

It’s clear that it will hurt a lot if I get hit even once.

“Are you crazy??”

“You’re the one who’s crazy. Bullying such young children. Are you even an adult!”

“No, so. There’s a misunderstanding, okay? How about listening to me?”

“I don’t listen to the excuses of evil people.”

She’s a really frustrating person.

A type that typically lives in her own world.

A personality that never compromises once a conclusion is reached.

In a good way, she has a conviction.

In a bad way, she’s inflexible.

And that type is the type that is easily scammed.

Like now.

“Put that sword down before you regret it later. It’s quite barbaric to swing such a dangerous thing at people.”

“I don’t swing it at innocent people. So there’s no problem.”

She’s swinging it at an innocent person right now….

The woman raised her sword without noticing the truth that only she doesn’t know here.

I can’t help it.

I drew up the mana (magical power) in my body.

And quickly approached the woman and snatched the sword from her wrist.

Thud.

The wooden sword that fell to the ground after flying in the sky.

And the silence that follows.

“……Huh?”

The woman seemed embarrassed and started to roll her eyes.

Well, what will you do now?

“J-just wait and see!”

She eventually chose to run away.

She ran away without looking back, throwing out a cheap villain-like line.

And now, only the cheeky brats and I remain at the scene.

“Hehe.”

“Come here. Brats.”

“We’re sorry!!”

They bowed their heads late, but it was too late.

I’ll teach you properly so you can’t do bad things again.
