Chapter 2

When I woke up, I started to sort things out. "Hmm~ Alright, so I'm Alice la Valentine. A villainess that played a big role in literally all of the routes."

I said so as I wrote down what I remembered on a book."Even if I don't interfere with the heroine and the capture targets, other villainesses would still interfere."

So, it should be fine if--

["Little girl."]

"!!"

It's that voice! ["Who are you anyway?"]

["Who I am isn't important. Little girl, as I said last time, I gave you a present 'Analyze'. It gives you the ability to look into people"]

["Why are you giving me this?]

["...you died young. Even though you still had so much time left. So, I gave you you're previous life's memory. So, you won't die young again. Change your future."]

["Oh? Thank you very much."]

["But I see that you aren't panicking like I thought you would."]

["Why would I panic?"]

["Well, you suddenly got reincarnated into another world. Shouldn't it be a shock?"]

["Maybe just a little bit."]

["Haaa~ Alright I won't ask you about it anymore. Anyways, your magic..."]

["..? What is it?"]

["You don't have a specific type of magic."]

["What..?"]

["You have the ability to use every type of magic because you have tremendous amount of mana you can use. And of course, you're from another world after all so it wouldn't hurt to give you some cheats."]

["...eheheheh"]

["...?!"]

["Oh, sorry. So, that means I can use every type of magic then?"]

["Yes."]

["That's great!!!"]

["I know right, it's amazing."]

["Thank you very much for giving me a second chance and for the present!"]

["No problem, since you'll need those things in the future."]

I smiled happily. With this, I don't have to care about my destruction flags! I could just wipe all of them out with my magic.

["Now then, I'll be leaving. You can just call me when you need me."]

["Ehhh~ but what's your name?"]

["Just call me... Lucas."]

["Alright!"]

["Then, I'll be going now."]

["Goodbye Lucas!"]

I went back to writing what I remembered from my previous life.

Alright. The first capture target, the first prince and the crown prince of the Adaline Empire-- Edgar Valacia de Adaline. He has quite a sadistic personality, and he is constantly bored since he can do anything at first try. He is also always fake smiling, but he smiles sincerely around the heroine.

The second capture target, Noah von Lancaster. The heir to the Lancaster House, the first son of Duke Lancaster.

He has a little sister-- Lilith von Lancaster, she is the main villainess in Noah's route. So, I don't have much of a role in Noah's route. He has a surprisingly kind personality despite his cold looks.

And he... has an extreme case of sister complex, the same goes for Lilith.

Then, the third capture target, Leon de Archer. The soon-to-be master of the magic tower and the second son of Marquis Archer. He is very mysterious but playful at the same time. He likes to tease people... perhaps, he is similar to Edgar in some ways. And also a playboy.

Now, the last capture target, Lucas Vincent Otar. He is publicly known as the adopted son of Marquis Otar, but he is actually one of the people who handles souls.

... Hmm? ["Lucassssss!"]

["What's wrong?"]

["Are you THE Lucas Vincent Otar?"]

["You found out about that faster than I thought you would. You really are a smart girl."]

["So, you are the one who handled my soul and send me here, right?"]

["Yes."]

["So that's why you can talk to me telepathically."]

["Right."]

["You can just come out, you don't have to hide..."]

["Hmm~ Alright, I'll come out."]

He appeared out of nowhere right before my eyes.

"It's nice to see you."

"... You look exactly like the Lucas in the Otome Game, but younger."

"Of course I look the same as that Lucas, and I'm the same age as you as well!"

"Then, why did you call me little girl?"

"W-well, that was so you wouldn't have any suspicions."

"But it was pretty easy though?"

"Y-yeah, you really are smart."

"Oh my~ thank you for the complement."

*Whispers* "But it wasn't a complement"

"? What did you say?"

"N-nothing."

"... Okay..."

"Why are you looking at me like that?!"

"... Nothing. Anyways, why did you help me?"

"Didn't I just said it's because you died young?"

"I know that. What I mean is, why did you help me? In the Otome Game, there was no such thing."

"All of your actions may change the future. So, if you don't want to die young again, you have to survive."

"Then, why don't I just make them disappear or something? That way, it would be all over."

"No! You can't just wipe them all out, I said you have to survive!"

"Alright, just stop shouting already."

"Hmph."

"..."

"You'll probably need my help dealing with troubles, so I will work here at your house."

"Work?"

"Yes, work. Your house, is a house that raised many powerful magicians, right?"

"Probably."

"What do you mean, probably? You should know."

"That's mainly the reason why I'm trying to recall the plot of the Otome Game. And you are bothering me right now."

"S-sorry..."

"Haaa~ So, what will you work as?"

"... A mage!"

"That's a given, isn't it?"

"Of course. Since I was chosen to be one of the people who handles souls after all."

"I'll talk to my father about it."

"Alright, thanks."

"Just stay here, don't go out."

"Okay!"

I don't really trust him but, whatever.

"Emma!"

"Yes, Alice-sama?"

"I want to meet father."

"I will bring you to your father, Alice-sama."

* * *

"Father!"

"Yes, Alice?"

"I want to recommend a person to be my personal mage."

"Oh? Who is it?"

"He's... my friend!"

"Okay, but I want to see what he's capable of."

"I'll call him right away."

I walked back to my room hastily. 'Phew~ he's still sitting there. It would be troublesome if he wandered around the house without permission.'
