Reincarnated as the Villainess's attendant

The platinum-haired girl nodded her head and looked curiously at the black-haired boy before she walked closer to him and moved his fringe out of the way to have a good look on his face – completely stunning the boy in the process...

"I like the way you look now."

She smiled and said without reservation.

"Th-thank you...? Not only does it looks better – but my face no longer feels numb, it is really nice – but speaking about miss Burushi – did she...?"

Zoemi furrowed his brows and leaned away looking at the platinum-haired girl with suspicion – but he was interrupted by the girl herself.

"I wasn\'t talking about that, but I can\'t blame you for misunderstanding."

"Huh...?"

She smiled and shrugged her shoulders throwing Zoemi for a loop with her answer.

He knew that he should ask more about the heroine – or better – to just go and find her and ask about the details by himself, but at the same time, something deep inside of him was telling him to stay and listen to the girl in front of him.

"Alright I know that you don\'t remember me – but are you sure you don\'t know me? I should be quite famous in the Academy... or are you just teasing me...?!"

All of a sudden, the platinum-haired girl furrowed her brows and asked in an almost challenging tone, spreading her arms to the sides as she pouted.

"...I..."

Zoemi honestly was lost for words – first the deja vu, then this girl who despite her small frame seemed to be completely overwhelming him with her presence.

"I have seen you at least twice – maybe some other times too – but I don\'t think we were ever introduced."

The black-haired attendant answered as politely as he could but...

"Eh...? That\'s not what I\'ve been asking you about!"

"You... you weren\'t....?"

The girl scoffed – and shockingly enough her platinum hair and eyes became slightly pink as if something illuminated them from below – the young-looking girl also dropped the noble act and pouted all while the enormous presence surrounding her disappeared.

"What nerve! I am Ehmi Gamemi Victureo, you know? And I am a third-year student here! I\'m a senior! And I know who you are! You\'re the attendant of lady Miriette, that my dumb brother wants to apologize to but is too proud to do that! What do you mean you have seen me twice!? We pass each other in the hallway all the time!"

|Victureo?!|

The small girl with platinum-colored hair with a pinkish hue to them suddenly got really angry and started scolding the black-haired, wide-eyed boy who was at a loss what was going on to the point that he stood up and started staring at Ehmi from above.

"I even waved to you to lift your spirit when everyone thought that you raped that stupid girl that got kicked out from the Academy!"

"...and did you just say that Grazio – GRAZIO wants to apologize to m... Huh? Wait...! Who left the academy!?"

Zoemi gasped in disbelief and gasped in surprise only to then be surprised by another fact – this one sounding eerily similar to one of Miriette\'s bad endings from the game...

"That blue-haired girl, Ralia-whatever – what, you now you are going to say that you don\'t remember her either? Wasn\'t she from your year? Anyway, her family made her withdraw from the academy and then they banished her and she had to leave the country... You really didn\'t know?"

Ehmi crossed her arms and declared in a prideful voice while doing her best to look down on the black-haired boy in front of her but only ended up looking adorable.

"Well no, I did not..."

"...!"

Zemi lowered his head with an apologetic expression which made the pajama-clad girl flinch and look away while blushing.

"Enough about her! Me! Do you remember me now?"

Ehmi scoffed, trying to mask the embarrassment with anger, and started tapping her foot on the floor impatiently and attempted to glare at Zoemi – but she was getting more and more timid the more she tried to look straight up at him.

|That\'s right... I do know of another Victureo character that\'s supposed to be a student...|

Before the black-haired boy spoke out loud, he did his best to recall all the details that he could about that specific character which honestly wasn\'t that easy...

He remembered that Grazio had an older sister, but she never appeared in any of the scenes for the other capture targets routes and Zoemi never played through Grazio\'s route, dying in his past life right after he started that playthrough...

Still – even with that knowledge, he never expected her to look so... young...

She was supposed to be a third-year student, being an OLDER sister and all...

"I\'m terribly sorry, lady Victureo. Somehow I missed you in the hallways on those occasions..."

Since the short girl was shoving the pattern of behavior very similar to Miriette on a bad day, Zoemi started acting the same way as he would in order to calm his own master down to reduce the risk of enraging the noble lady – and bowed down apologetically.

"...eh...? Y-you did...?

"...!"

...since he already categorized her as Miriette-like, he was completely unprepared for the sudden timidness and the look of embarrassment on Ehmi\'s face as she realized that she wasn\'t even acknowledged on her attempts of being friendly...!

"N-no...! I, I mean, yes – I didn\'t notice you too many times in the hallways, my lady – but that\'s just because I was constantly busy with the schoolwork and my duties as the attendant! Also, with your height, it must be hard to spot you in a crowded space...!"

"...my height...!?"

Zoemi hurriedly explained, but the moment he spoke another sentence, he knew he had said too much as the face of the short girl became red – and her platinum hair became slightly more pinkish, surprisingly – but not because of embarrassment, but anger at the lousy excuse.

...almost instantly her hair returned to being only slightly pinkish, but her face most definitely did not...

"It\'s because I\'m so short, right!? What, am I so tiny that the big handsome attendant never noticed me? Is that it!? You don\'t care what happens below the height of your navel!?"

Ehmi stepped closer to him and poked at the boy\'s stomach despite the fact that she wasn\'t that short, but it was rather obvious that she was exaggerating things to vent off her anger.

|She\'s a noble lady all right.|

Zoemi found himself smiling to himself – in the first place, even though Ehmi was trying to act really angry, it was obvious that she is just putting up a front to hide her embarrassment and only ended up looking adorable in the boy\'s eyes...

BUT – as someone who had literally grown up with someone far moodier he knew exactly how to deal with that without hurting her feelings and making him hate him – so he bowed his head into an almost official-looking apology – which unintentionally resulted in him getting his face close to the girl\'s face.

"My lady, this servant is very sorry, I swear that this won\'t happen again and I promise that I will make it up to you if you so wish."
