Reincarnated as the Villainess's attendant

Chapter 167 - 49 - Intermission That Changed The Perception (part 2)

|Wait – the light...!|

She scoffed to herself and hurriedly turned off the lamp

"Miss Buru – it is within your best intention to not ignore me."

"...!"

But that only brought the exact opposite effect to what she wanted – resulting in the sudden visitor immediately realizing that she was indeed inside, and he or she whispered in a serious voice.

Although, even though it was only a whisper, it didn't sound like it was a woman speaking on the other side of the door – but that means that...!

"Miss Buru – I am the supporter of the second prince – and I come to you with an offer."

"...!"

The person outside decided to partially reveal his identity.

The blond heroine's eyes widened and she rushed towards the door...

"Eh...?"

...but as she unlocked it and tried to open it – neither the doorknob nor the door itself budged...

"Oh – no, no – there's no reason for the two of us to meet face to face – I just came here to give you a little advice."

The whispering supporter sounded as if he was shaking his head – while he also must have been holding the door preventing the girl from leaving her room.

|IS this the part of the event? Whose? Wait...! What if the DLC added a separate ending for Surou and this is a part of it?!|

The blond girl was reaching but after everything that happened to her – the explanation she came up with didn't seem all that farfetched to her...

"...what advice...?"

She ended up asking, letting go of the doorknob.

"If you wish for protection – do not associate with the attendant anymore..."

"EH?!"

The mysterious supporter declared and the heroine gasped and put her ear to the door to hear him even a little bit better.

"...I also wouldn't put my trust in Reo, if I were you..."

The mysterious supporter continued, not paying any attention to the noises that Burushiitto was making.

"If things will turn bad – go to Xeonith – he should be easy enough to manipulate with all your... advantages..."

The last part sounded as if the person in the hallway was holding back hearty laughter – which certainly didn't sit well with the heroine.

"You...! I am the fiancee of the second prince! How dare you to...!"

"You THOUGHT that you were the fiancee."

Burushiitto shouted angrily, smacking her fist against the door – but then her own words were interpreted by the slightly louder whisper that somehow managed to overpower her outdoor voice...

"If you want to have a chance with the second prince, you would have to bring him back – and for that, you would need Xeonith's help – earth attribute is certainly the best defense against the wind attribute, right?"

The mysterious supporter claimed as his voice became calm again.

"Why Xeonith? Why not Arisu or Grazio?"

The blond girl scoffed and angrily waited for an answer.

"~~It's all Miriette's fault.~~"

"..."

The response was so completely out of nowhere that the heroine had to take a spet back in shock...

Her eyes were unfocused and she actually didn't seem to be aware of what was happening around her...

"...?"

After five full minutes, Burushiitto shook her head and blinked a few times.

"Hey! Did you hear me?! I asked you why would I go to Xeonith and not Arisu or Grazio?"

Burushiitto scoffed angrily, acting as if she didn't hear the answer, and grabbed the doorknob to open the door ajar.

"...!"

She stepped outside to confront the whole mysterious supporter – but the hallway was completely empty, and judging by the perfect, slightly eerie silence – Burushiitto's person of interest had left – which wasn't all that surprising considering how long she was out of it...

"...what the hell was that supposed to be?! Intermission?"

Burushiitto scoffed to herself, closing the door and turning the key in the lock with no hesitation, not realizing that something was wrong...

"He couldn't be serious – could he...?"

She pondered to herself before she started circling her room too nervous to go back to bed.

"Though – if that guy is just a faceless NPC who just carries the information for me, obviously the abnormal one is Slutiette!"

The heroine stomped her feet.

"Even after I made an effort to not interfere with her! Yes... all of this happened because of the change in the script that the DLC has made - the same thing that happened with Surou route must have happened with her character!"

Burushiitto's declared to herself acting a little bit jittery – oddly similar to how Surou was always after his talk with the mysterious supporter – but since the blond heroine was the one affected, she didn't realize a thing and simply continued falling down the path that someone had pushed her into...

"That means I just have to deal with her, but how...?"

The blond-haired heroine put her hand to her mouth and squinted her eyes carefully considering her options.

Her foot started tapping on the wooden floor.

"...that guy... now that I think about it... he was right about whom I should trust...."

The heroine nodded to herself with a bitter expression.

"Staying around Grazio would be like straight up telling Zoemi and Slutiette that I was going to go against them – as long as he won't change his attitude at least... And if I want to get rid of Slutiette through the bad ending – then his come far too late into the story to be of any use without the acceleration from Surou's route..."

She mumbled to herself.

"Arisu? Well, he is strong, he could protect me for the moment, but Slutiete gets screwed only by chance in his route, seeing how strong she is thanks to the DLC, she would probably run away from the assassin or straight-up defeat them even in her sleep... and the marriage proposal from the different country... Tsk, that should have already happened, but she is so chummy with Horeo that there's no way that will actually come to fruition..."

Burushiitto clicked her tongue in dissatisfaction.

"What's left? Reo, ugh...! No! I hate his guts! Denied!"

She shivered from disgust.

"That really leaves Xeonith..."

The heroine straightened her back and nodded her head.

"He is strong, apparently as strong as the first prince and Miriette, though I have never seen that in person..."

She looked to the side.

"Though... if I remember correctly he was placed first on the magic examination ranking for the second year..."

The blond girl tilted her head to the opposite side and pointed out.

"And the bad endings for Slutiette include being strangled by the rampaging murderer in my good end and getting thrown into the castle's prison on my bad end which of both can happen fairly early if I'll play this game correctly..."

She scratched her chin and squinted her eyes in consideration.

"Yes, that sounds like the best option..."

Burushiitto stopped in front of her wardrobe, full of clothes that Surou has bought her, and looked into the mirror attached to one of the doors.

She grabbed her ample breasts, pushed them together, and made an innocent expression.

"I do have all the assets necessary for winning Xeonith over, don't I?"

She smirked confidently looking at her reflection – acting and planning something that would never even cross her mind ten minutes prior...

"Just you wait, Slutiette. I'll make you pay for what you did to me!"

She declared and reached out to her left hand to remove the ring that Surou gave her...

"...!"

...and stopped, touching it gently and putting her left hand to her heart, momentarily breaking away from the dangerous mindset she contracted while talking to the mysterious supporter...

"...can't really have that now, can we...?"

Suddenly a voice coming from underneath the door to the heroine's room whispered maliciously and...

"..."

The blond girl's eyes lost focus and she removed the ring, put it back to the small box, and walked straight to the bed with a completely vacant expression, without even turning off the light.

"Hmph... a far stronger will than that power-hungry kid, but still nothing too worrisome. I have become quite proficient with that spell after all~."

The voice from underneath the door scoffed...

"Still... what was all that crazy talk about games, events, and bad endings...? Was that one of the side effects of the spell? Most peculiar - I should do some reasearch and... Oh, who cares – I guess that once this is all over I can push all the blame on her and use that nonesense to convince everyone that she is insane~"

The mysterious supporter – who was most definitely mysterious, but was as far from supporting as it was physically possible – giggled, minding the volume of his voice, and left the heroine alone – this time for real.
