Villainess Is Changing Her Role To A BroCon
chapter-88

“Flora-sama, hurry up.”

“Yes, Ekaterina-sama, but there’s no need to hurry.”

Flora laughed as she accompanied Ekaterina down the corridor to the entrance hall, walking as fast as a young lady could.

“It’s my first test results. I’m curious.” (Ekaterina)

“I hope you got a good enough score to be posted.” (Flora)

“Flora-sama will be fine!” (Ekaterina)

Ekaterina’s POV

Yes, today is the day that the results of the first exam after entering the school will be announced. It was an important event in the Otome Game.

If all goes well, Flora-chan should be in first place and the prince in second. This should complete the lock-on from the prince, in which he’d start having an interest in her, and begin messing around with her until he asks her to be his partner at the ball later on.

…The events of the duke’s family have so much impact on me that the events of the otome game are about to fly out of my head…but for the dukes’ sake, let’s be careful and do our best to avoid the doom flag!

“Most of the answers were the same as Ekaterina-sama’s, so it must be a similar result.” (Flora)

“If that’s the case, I’ll be very happy.” (Ekaterina)

At the Academy, the names of the top ten students in the examinations are posted in the entrance hall after school on the day of the announcement, with their names and rankings.

I believe I’m doing pretty well, but if I am included in the list of top ten students, maybe my big brother will be very proud and happy!

3rd POV

With this in mind, Ekaterina could not help but quicken her steps.

When she arrived at the entrance hall, the exam results were already posted and a group of students gathered, checking for their names.

She would look exactly like a villainess if she said, “Make way!” Thinking this, Ekaterina and Flora instead queued behind the students.

When the students noticed them, they started poking each other and gave them some space.

Ekaterina’s POV

“My, I am grateful for making way. Thank you.” (Ekaterina)

I looked at the names of the first-year students and wondered if Flora-chan was in first place.

…Hmm?

“Ekaterina-sama! Congratulations!” (Flora)

No, wait. Wait, wait, wait. There’s something weird going on here.

I’m going to review it from tenth place. There are names I don’t know…

When I got to the third place, I found a familiar name.

Third Place: Mikhael Yurigran.

Second Place: Flora Czerny.

First Place, Ekaterina Yurinova.

3rd POV

Without thinking, Ekaterina summoned her phantom partner and tsukkomi in her brain.

What? The first place!?

The tsukkomi smacked her hand into her partner’s back.

How did it end up like this?!

I don’t know!…but is it okay if you smack me again, tsukkomi?

No, that’s not the point!

(E/N: Tsukkomi has several meanings. In comedic sense, the tsukkomi is the one reacting to the jokester, usually with ‘that’s absurd/ridiculous’ type of reaction. Simply put, she’s having an internal drama with her own tsukkomi version.)

Ekaterina’s POV

It’s funny that I somehow ended up scoring first place. Just the day before, we were hosting a visit from the royal family.

Then, as soon as I got back to the school dormitory, I was so tired that I didn’t prepare for the exam at all and fell asleep.

Not only the day before, but also Saturday and Sunday were consumed with preparation, and even on weekdays, I couldn’t concentrate on my studies because I was always distracted by other things.

Even so, my answers were definitely close to Flora-chan’s, and even for that I thought I was amazing..
