Extra 1 Villainess Young Lady DLC (3)

“Konomi?”

Uwa―

He doesn’t seem to care that I’m frowning .

The moment he saw me, he called me by my name, shook the crowd away and ran to me .

Then 

―In less than a minute, the schoolboy reached the hallway we are in .

“Fuu . To meet on the day of the Holy Festival, the G.o.ddess of fate sure likes to play mischief――”

“It’s just a coincidence . ”

“Let me say it to the end at the very least!”

I want to skip as many events as possible .

However, I don’t want to leave without saying h.e.l.lo to the acquaintances I met .

I bowed down .

“Long time no see, Gonneau-senpai . ”

Dominique Gonneau, a third-year student at Fitzgerald Private school .

He is supposed to be the ill-natured “Ore-sama” character in this game, “Promised fortune . ”

And also, he is currently making rough breaths and his shoulder-length hair are disheveled .

He also has the ability to see the character “me” through, although the reason is still unknown .

He tried to catch his breath while I said my greetings .

He combed his hair with a comb he took out from somewhere and regained his calm .

“Fuun . You seemed to have been doing well . And most of all, we met once again―― Today, let’s play with cards . ”

“Cards?”

“Aah”

He exclaimed and took out a small box and some sort, rectangular in shape, from his pocket .

There are many blue checkered cards in a small business card-sized box . Surely those are playing cards .

When it comes to a two-player card game, the famous ones are blackjack and speed .

And with Eileen joining us, we can do something like old maid―― no no .

It’s okay to do it, but since he said, “game” instead of, “play,” the winner would have to receive something good .

My thoughts seemed to be right on point as he continued,

“If you win, I’ll give you a planetarium ticket, a special Holy Festival Day ticket― It’s a couples ticket that will allow another person in . You can’t not want that, right?”

He said with a huge smile on his face, and a particular rectangular paper fluttering .

If I look closely, there are some letters on it .

It’s not readable from here, but it’s probably the “ticket . ”

So that’s it . I thought to myself . But not that I accept the conditions he offered .

I can somehow tell the “original” scenario of Dominique’s route .

Probably, in his original route, after this game, if I win, I can go to the planetarium with him . And also, if I lose, I become his, and ultimately follow the same route whether I win or lose . I think .

I’m not interested in dating Dominique . And I’m not interested in this .

However― A planetarium ticket .

This might be worth it . “Umm, Eileen,” I called her, who was standing right next to me .

“What is it?”

“We talked earlier, about the gift . ”

I pointed to him,

“If we share the ticket, we can go right away . ”

“I don’t even want to feed it to Aldo . ”

So, I bowed to Dominique .

“I’ll be waiting for your application another day . ”

“Wait wait wait wait . ”

He really killed my appet.i.te as he swiftly get right before my eyes and said from a spit’s distance away,

“Don’t just immediately shove aside the person who is inviting you to a date, right in front of him no less!”

“But I can’t even sell the couples ticket whose use is limited to just today to a p.a.w.n shop . ”

“It’s not about whether it can be p.a.w.ned off or not!”

I thought there might be a fancy game in the flea Market, but unfortunately there are no PCs, smartphones, or the Internet in this world .

When I turned my eyes back to him again, he tried to say something and opened his mouth―― But he closed them again without saying anything .

He looks regretful as he smacked his lips and said,

“Aah, fine . I’ll let it be like this for today . ”

“Eh! You’re giving me the ticket?”

“Do you think I would!?”

He hides the ticket close to his chest as if he’s protecting it .

How stingy .

He glared at me with the eyes of a savage beast, and put his playing cards and ticket back to his pocket .

Anyway, his business with us seems to be done .

“Well then, Eileen . Let’s―”

“Hey . ”

I was interrupted by Dominique when I’m about to say, ‘let’s go’ to Eileen .

“What is it?”

Is there something more?

He goes, “Ah, uh,” for a while, and hides his face halfway with one hand .

“…again, next year . ”

Next year, what?

It seems that his pride does not allow him to complete his words to the end .

But what he wanted to say is transmitted to me .

His face is covered with his hand, but his red ears cannot be hidden . I smiled and shouted, “What’s wrong?”

But my teasing doesn’t mean much to him .

He simply shakes his head with a bitter smile .

“I mean, likewise . I’ll be in your care too next year . Unless Senpai lost his popularity and lost his fan members . ”

“…Why does that sound so ominous?”

Dominique didn’t know about the situation “outside”, but he seemed to have felt instinctively horrible at my words .

He holds his arms around his body and rubs his back, listening to me with a blue face

But well . If it’s Dominique, it will be fine . As I said, I think it’s needless to worry for him . After all――

“There seemed to be a lot of people in the world who did not find Senpai’s att.i.tude irritating . ―Though, you can’t afford to show other people your weakness, and have to always have your back and shoulders straight . You yourself will face a lot more hards.h.i.+ps . ”

“……Huh?”

Did he never think that his stance would be evaluated like that?

He opened his mouth wide, like a fool .

And I gave a nice smile so that we can truly wish each other a good new year―

“Best regards for the coming year . I hope we can play a good game again . ”

Thereupon,

“Yo… Yo y-you!”

Dominique started to open and close his mouth like a goldfish . Perhaps, due to lack of oxygen? He points his finger at me, but no more words follow .

And all of a sudden, everything from his ears to the entirety of his face and neck turns red .

“Senpai? Your complexion is strange . ”

If he’s sick, he should probably go to the hospital . No, this is a school, so if he’s going, the health room should be the place . When I started to worry――

“…Re, re r-r-remember me!”

He looked like he’s weeping, and faced back, running all the way down the hallway .

“What is it, throwing a small-fry-like tantrum and leaving like that . ”

He’s still as weird a person as ever .

I could not understand his actions and tilted my head .

Then Eileen, who is also looking at the direction of Dominique’s departure, whispered,

“What was that, Konami?”

“What was?”

“He’s such a hopeless child, isn’t he?”

“Huh?”

I am puzzled at what led her to give such a remark, but she answered, “it’s nothing,” and said nothing more .

I do not understand . Is it related to this country’s unique culture or something?

I thought about such a thing―― 

When suddenly, the thought of “cultural differences” this place might have with j.a.pan came to my mind .

“Um, Eileen . ”

“What is it?”

“Does the ozoni of this country come with round mochi? Or a square mochi?”

(TN: Ozoni – New year’s soup containing mochi and vegetables

Mochi – sticky rice cake)

“Ozoni?”

Apparently, it seems to be a culture not found in this country .

In my house, soy sauce flavored soup with mochi has been around for a long time .

AN: By the way, how are the ozoni of your house prepared?

Round mochi 37%

Square mochi 56%

Others 6%
