The Yandere Villainess’s Past Life Was That of a Lonely Woman. After Reflecting and Stopping Her Stalking of Her Fiancé, He Somehow Started Approaching Her Instead. - Chapter 10

“Cold—!”

A sudden splash of water struck my face, making me let out a small cry. It was probably the heroine’s magic.

In the game, the heroine could learn and use multiple types of magic.

Lycoris had darkness, Lucius had fire. In this world, it was normal for people to wield only a single element, regardless of how powerful it was.

But the heroine could master any magic except darkness. That alone made her extremely rare.

It was for that reason she attended the noble academy as a scholarship student for magic.

What’s more, depending on the heroine’s specialty, different capture targets would appear, and their affection levels would rise more easily.

If, at the start of the game, the player chose water as her strongest attribute, she would encounter a boy who also used water magic and become easier to win his favor.

It was surprising that the magic she used just now wasn’t fire, which paired well with Lucius’s own attribute—but then again, setting the hallway on fire would be a problem.

As I wiped the water from my cheek with my sleeve, I recalled a scene where a girlfriend splashes cold water on her boyfriend’s mistress at a café.

Then I froze at the sight before me.

My fiancé stood there, completely soaked—not just his cheek, but his entire body, as if he’d fallen into a river. This was no glass of water’s worth.

“What do you think you’re doing, Lucius-senpai? This is a school!”

“Na-Nazuna? This, I-I was just—”

“Cool your head before a teacher finds you!”

Reprimanded by the younger heroine, Lucius floundered like a child.

The girl named Nazuna stormed at him with a force that made it hard to believe she’d been bullied and surrounded by female students just moments before.

Oddly enough, the fact that she was furious at her own boyfriend rather than at me—her supposed rival—sparked a faint sense of respect in me.

And I wasn’t about to waste this chance.

While Lucius was being scolded by the heroine, I quietly slipped away and bolted straight into the girls’ restroom.

Shutting myself inside a stall, I pulled from my uniform pocket a device that closely resembled a cell phone.

It was a Magical Phone—a handy tool that allowed even those without communication magic to make calls to others with the same device.

In the game, the heroine used it to invite her chosen love interest on weekend dates. It was a luxury item, but so useful that nearly every student at the academy had one.

I had been given mine by Father when I enrolled.

With trembling fingers, I worked the device and called home.

When a servant answered, I reported that I was unwell and requested a carriage to be sent to the rear gate so I could leave early.

After hanging up, I let out a deep sigh. Relief and exhaustion crashed over me all at once now that I had secured a way home.

Leaving the stall, I stepped back into the restroom. Thankfully, Lucius hadn’t tried following me into the girls’ bathroom. Nor was the heroine anywhere in sight.

My fiancé’s sudden shift in behavior was unsettling enough—but his supposed girlfriend was even more strong-willed than I had anticipated.

I wasn’t a sharp-tongued person. I was timid at heart. I didn’t want to go head-to-head with that heroine if I could avoid it.

If her scolding was enough to knock some sense back into Lucius, that would be ideal.

When the bell signaling the start of class rang, I stepped out into the hallway.

Then, heading outside, I waited for my carriage at the school gate.
