(Life in fuuuun!)

The location was the school courtyard.

Marie was sitting on a bench and being complimented by everyone around her.

“I always knew Lady Marie would be chosen as the Saint.”

“M-Me too!”

“Oh my, from the very moment we enrolled at school, I knew she was different to other people.”

Even though she knew they were empty lies, the compliments soothed Marie.

“Geez everyone, you’re exaggerating too much.”

It was very fun to have everyone trying to appeal to her to get on her good side.

All the students who had disrespected her until now had come back to lick her boots.

Having become the saint, Marie’s reputation had undergone a completely 180 degree turnaround.

From the villainess who ensnared Julius and his friends, she had now become the saint who was adored by everyone.

She struggled to even hold back her desire to laugh.

At that instant, a man and woman walking through the school courtyard caught her eye.

They were Leon and Angie.

Angie was happily walking alongside Leon without any entourage following her.

(A duke’s daughter without any entourage. It’s exactly the same as the game. But somehow it looks like she’s having fun.)

In that otome game, Angie who was antagonistic towards the protagonist lost her entourage and ended up alone. She was a character who got the retribution she deserved and ended up miserable. Marie felt proud of winning against her.

(You’re a good fit for that mob character there. After all, the villainess Angelica is destined to be either executed or married to an ugly man in the countryside.)

In the game, Angie only had two possible endings.

The first was to be pushed away to the rural countryside.

This was the ending where she would be forced to unwillingly marry an ugly man in the sticks.

The other option was execution.

Everything would depend on the protagonist’s mood.

Both endings were terrible, but Marie preferred the route of forcing her to marry a rural noble.

She knew that Angie would definitely have a bad time so this choice was the more satisfying option for her.

After all, as a punishment, it was harder on Anjie to struggle over a longer period of time compared to something simple like execution.

(Thinking about it like that, this outcome is exactly the same as it was in the game. This mob guy rules over a small piece of rural land and Julius and co. are overwhelmingly superior in the looks department.)

If just comparing appearances alone, Julius and co. were easily superior. But—

“Take me to your family home again for this holiday.”

“I don’t mind but there’s nothing there.”

“There’s your floating island, isn’t there? I like the hot springs you have there.”

—The two were eagerly looking forward to the upcoming holidays.

Back at the entrance ceremony, despite being surrounded by her entourage, Angie didn’t look very happy.

How about now?

Her facial expression had softened and she had lost the thorniness she used to have.

(—She looks like she’s having fun. Somehow that pisses me off.)

Marie personally wanted her to have a more miserable ending.

(But I’m also curious. Hmm? Speaking of which, I never got to see exactly what ended up happening to Angie in the game.)

Depending on the choice of Angie’s eventual ending, the only things that changed were character lines in the game to match up with the reality.

Marie didn’t even know things such as how she was supposedly executed or which man she ended up marrying.

(Is it possible that Bartfort is the baron who she was supposedly married off to? But he’s a viscount now so it was probably someone else.)

Who exactly did Angie get married to in the game?

Marie tried to guess but ended up giving up.

Since it didn’t matter how hard she thought about it, she gave up trying since she’d never be able to know the correct answer.

But most importantly, she was irritated by Angie’s smile.

(Why does she look like she’s having fun? Even though she had her engagement broken and lost the support of her entourage.)

Having been antagonistic to the protagonist, Angie only had bad endings in the game.

But what about now?

In the same way, she lost her entourage and Julius broke their engagement but she still looks happy. On the contrary, Leon, the man she ended up getting was completely incompatible with her in a socially hierarchical society.

(That kind of man is just the right fit for you. You should just be satisfied that he’s reliable and is capable of earning you a little bit of money without relying on you to feed him—)

Having thought that far, Marie suddenly felt a sense of defeatism.

Julius and co. were certainly handsome men.

She could rely on them to help her and they had excellent grades which wouldn’t lose to Leon. But right now, all of them were relying on Marie for a living.

Even if they had high specs, they were relying on Marie to feed them.

On the other hand, even though he was a rural noble, Leon had land.

And according to Angie, he even had hot springs.

(A hot spring, huh? That sounds nice.)

She remembered the family holiday trip in her previous life.

Her brother was still alive back then and they had a lot of fun as a family of four.

Looking at Angie’s smile, it seemed as if a heavy burden had been lifted from her shoulders and she had become a lot happier.

Seeingt her like this, it was as if she was better off having broken off the engagement with Julius. Having thought that, Marie was frustrated by the situation.

(Isn’t that as if she heaped her burden onto me? Just the thought alone makes me feel sick.)

On the contrary, Marie felt as if a burden named Julius had been dumped onto her.
