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 24

Point of View: Alice

Meanwhile, at the residence of Baron Welton—

“As I thought… Cristel is supposed to be engaged to Fiona.”

I, Alice Welton, sat in my room, staring down at my notebook in frustration.

“And Sphere—she’s supposed to be the antagonist in Stefan’s route. If I recall correctly, she’s Stefan’s younger sister who opposes the relationship, saying the rank difference between a duke and a baron is too great. She shouldn’t have any connection to Cristel or Fiona…”

Muttering to myself, I began writing down everything I could to make sense of the current situation.

Sure enough, several inconsistencies stood out.

Cristel, who should have been engaged to Fiona, is instead engaged to Sphere.

Allen, who wasn’t supposed to have a fiancée at all, is engaged to Fiona.

Fiona and Sphere each have their own entourages, and they’re not supposed to have any connection. They remain nothing more than classmates until the end.

During the encounter event, Stefan should have been surrounded by several girls. Instead, he was accompanied by one unremarkable-looking man.

And the strangest thing of all—this unimpressive man is said to be Fiona’s brother. According to the original story, Fiona and her brother had a terrible relationship, and this character didn’t even exist. Not once were his name or face mentioned in the game.

Despite that, I saw them having lunch together, chatting. No matter how I looked at it, they didn’t seem to have a bad relationship at all.

I’ve heard that man is serving as Allen’s secretary—but was there even such a position in the game?

“…Suspicious.”

After pondering for a while, I reached a single hypothesis.

“Could it be… Fiona is also a reincarnator?”

It’s a common plot in light novels—the villainess reincarnates and does everything in her power to avoid her doom. If that’s what’s going on, then everything starts to make sense.

The personality that should have been twisted by her brother’s influence remains intact thanks to her memories from a past life. She gets along well with her brother, chooses a different fiancé, and builds different friendships.

That means… she might not try to torment me either?

“This could be a good thing! Maybe, since we’re both reincarnators, I can even become friends with Fiona!”

Humming a little tune, I began preparing for tomorrow.

—In my previous life, I was just a plain office worker.

Then, one morning, I got into a traffic accident, and somehow, I was reincarnated into this other world.

I only regained my memories of my past life recently—about three months before entering the academy.

Until then, I must have lived the heroine’s life exactly as in the original game. I don’t remember anything from before that.

When I came to, I had become the heroine of the otome game I had obsessed over in my previous life—TRUE LOVE.

I mean, I’m seriously cute now—I’ve caught myself admiring my reflection more than once.

But… ‘Yay! I’m the heroine! Time to enjoy a fun school life surrounded by handsome guys!’
—That thought never even crossed my mind.

Why? Because I hate handsome men.

The handsome men I knew were… freeloaders who lived off women, hosts who made women buy them expensive gifts, and seemingly normal guys who turned into violent abusers when alone.

Those were my ex-boyfriends. For some reason, I always ended up dating handsome guys—but my luck with them was horrible.

‘I will never date a handsome man again.’

And thus, I, a hopeless Dame-Otoko Walker, vowed never to walk that path again.

—However, trouble soon followed.

“Alice! Let’s go hang out!”

That was my childhood friend, Arnold. True to his “puppy-like” nature, his looks and behavior stirred a protective, maternal instinct.

“Alice, what are we doing today?”
“Alice, the other day, you know…”
“Alice…”
“Alice…”

Alice this, Alice that—so annoying!

We’ve only spent three months together, but I can tell Arnold’s not a bad guy. I know that. But his constant “I like you” energy is overwhelming.

I honestly have no idea how I handled him before regaining my memories, but since we’re childhood friends, I can’t just ignore him outright—so I smile and brush it off.

Once I enter the academy, the otome game will automatically begin. That means the handsome love interests will start flocking to me.

I trusted the game wouldn’t betray me—but now that it’s reality, it’s a different story.

A happy ending? For me, that’s more like a bad ending. I’d rather be sent to a convent.

My plan? Tank all their affection levels into the ground—lower and lower until they completely lose interest.

If a villainess shows up, I’ll gladly say, “Please, take them—be my guest,” and hand them over with a smile and a bow.

The otome game storyline only lasts through the first year of school. Once that’s over, my youth truly begins.

This is my second shot at life, and this time, I swear—I’ll date a decent mob character and live out the glorious youth I never had!
