I was Reincarnated as the Villainess's Older Brother, but it seems My Sister is Obsessed With Me. And for Some Reason, the Male Love Interests are also Doting On Me.(BL) - Chapter 19

Time passed, and I turned fifteen. Fiona was now fourteen.

That meant—this was the year the main story of the otome game began.

Before diving into that, let me briefly summarize my first year at Evil Academy, the game’s setting.

The school events were simple and similar to those in Japan.

End-of-term exams, sports festivals, cultural festivals, overnight field trips, and instead of a ball game tournament, we had a magic tournament.

As for the capture targets, Cristel, Allen, and Stefan Raveles were all enrolled at the academy. However, there wasn’t much for me to do yet.

I decided I would spend this first year as a proper mob character, keeping a low profile.

Or at least… that was the plan.

At first, things were going well.

On the entrance ceremony day, I had braced myself for potential harassment from Allen and even prepared a backup performance to distract from any trouble—only for it to go completely unused.

It was likely thanks to Fiona’s engagement with Allen.

Maybe he no longer saw me as a threat. Or maybe, for the sake of appearances, he decided not to provoke me outright. Either way, I had no complaints.

At first, there were rumors about a “prodigy with two magic attributes” enrolling, but since my appearance was so plain, people eventually lost interest. Their conclusion? “Oh, so he just has two elements. Big deal.”

Academy life was fun.

The lessons were engaging, and the practical training in swordsmanship and magic was exciting.

As for events like the sports festival and cultural festival, I went all out. After all, who would have thought I’d get to experience student life again? I fully embraced the youth I had been granted—to the point where even Stefan was taken aback.

Then one day, just as I thought my peaceful life was secured, I was approached by Cristel while relaxing alone in the garden gazebo.

We were classmates, but we barely exchanged more than polite greetings.

“May I have a word, Clive Arclight?”

“What is it, Prince Cristel?”

“It’s nothing important… but since you are the brother of my brother’s fiancée, we’ll eventually be family. I thought we should have some small talk.”

…Small talk?

What kind of casual conversation do you have with a prince?

About national prosperity? Diplomatic relations with neighboring countries? Maybe even war strategies…?

“The weather is nice today. What do you usually do on your days off?”

…It was totally normal.

I was expecting state affairs, but this was more like an elderly couple snacking on rice crackers on their porch.

“I usually practice my swordsmanship and review my lessons…?”

Thus, for some reason, Cristel started talking to me every single day.

This was practically harassment. From the outside, it looked like we were friends or something.

And that was a huge problem.

Why?

Because Cristel was not only ridiculously handsome, but also incredibly eye-catching. His bright red hair practically burned like flames—you could spot him from miles away.

And since he was the Second Prince, just talking to him made me the subject of curious, admiring, envious, and downright hostile stares.

Thus, I was given the very uninspired nickname “The Man Favored by the Second Prince.”

I had never heard something so uncool.

And, of course, Allen was furious.

“Aren’t you Fiona’s brother? Why are you sucking up to Cristel instead of me?”

The air around him was oppressively dark. His element was dark magic, and it felt like shadowy tendrils were about to wrap around my throat.

“I… I wasn’t sucking up to anyone…”

“Then from now on, you will stay by my side.”

“But we’re in different years…”

“We were just about to select new student council officers from the first-years. I will be student council president next year. You will be my secretary.”

What.

The student council? That would make me even more visible. And wait—secretary?

“I don’t recall there being a secretary in the student council.”

“I just created the position. Be grateful. Now, you can stay by my side outside of class as well.”

“…”

And that was the end of my peaceful student life.

Thus, in my second year, I officially became Allen’s servant—I mean, secretary.

But hold on. If I was constantly by Allen’s side…

Wouldn’t that mean I could interfere whenever the heroine, Alice, tried to approach him?

If Fiona was at risk of being condemned, wouldn’t it be better for me to play the role of the villainous nobleman instead?

Yes… this could work!

If I block the romance route between Alice and Allen, Fiona will be safe.

And once Allen graduates, I’ll be free again!

After that, I could finally enjoy the rest of my academy life. Maybe even… fall in love?

Just wait, my beautiful student life! I’m coming for you!
