The World of Otome Games is Tough For Mobs-Novel

Volume 9, SS: Nightmare Claire-chan

――I didn’t know that the five idiots had a younger sister.

But, when one considers it, it’s natural.

This world is a dangerous world.

There are wars and people are more likely to die than in my previous life.

This inevitably tends to increase the number of family members.

The thought of preserving blood naturally leads to the conclusion that the more children, the better.

My parents’ house is the same.

I have five siblings: an older brother, an older sister, me, a younger sister, and a younger brother.

So it’s not strange that five idiots has a sister.

[Master, you have been agitated for some time now.]

“No, I was just surprised by the unexpected turn of events. I didn’t expect to meet their sister.”

[Considering what has happened so far, it’s not surprising that they hold a grudge against you.]

“How many times do you think I’ve saved the world? I don’t remember being resented.”

[Isn’t it a bit much to exaggerate by a mere two times? And those two times, it was only because of my strength that it worked.]

“Two or more times are multiple. Two or three times is kind of a margin of error, right?”

[I am relieved to see that you are still the same person. I admire Master’s bold personality. I don’t think I want to imitate you, though.]

“You’re plenty bold yourself, though.”

To regain my composure, I decided to return to the boys’ dormitory.

I met Greg and Brad’s sister in the morning and couldn’t help but feel restless.

Let’s go back to the room and take a rest.

That’s what I was thinking, but then I heard voices coming from the boys’ dorm bathroom.

“Onii-sama, what is going on!?”

A female student’s voice came from the boys’ dormitory.

◇

I looked into the bathroom and there was Chris.

He is still wearing a loincloth as usual.

That’s fine, but isn’t he cleaning the bathroom with a deck brush in the morning.

Beside him was a bespectacled girl with short blue hair.

The girl has a serious personality and, like Chris, wears glasses.

Her chest is ―― yes, it’s modest.

I think she beats Marie.

But ―― give me a break.

Even here, I encounter them with their siblings.

Chris looks uncomfortable in front of his much like sister.

“[Claire] what do you want? I just want to finish cleaning the bath and go to school. You, too, go back to the school building.”

Claire’s fist was trembling when she saw Chris cleaning up.

“No, I will not back down. Why is this? Whenever you had free time, onii-sama would swing a wooden sword and hone his swordsmanship. But now you are dressed strangely and cleaning.”

“Dressed strangely?”

Looking at himself, I thought that Chris, who was wondering, was in the final stages.

Loincloths have become so natural that he doesn’t understand what is being said.

Lately, even I’m starting to feel less uncomfortable.

When I saw a guy in a loincloth, it was Chris or Greg, right? That’s what I felt.

But from Claire-chan’s point of view, she probably doesn’t like the idea of her adoring older brother cleaning the bathtub in a loincloth.

“Onii-sama ―― Please return to your former self. Let us return to the path of the sword together.”

Claire-chan tries to get Chris back on the straight path, but Chris looks at her with a very displeased look on his face.

“I practice swordsmanship. But right now, the bath is more important.”

“Why! In the old days, you used to be ――”

“It’s more useful to scrub the bathtub with a deck brush than to wield a wooden sword.”

As Chris says it out loud, Claire-chan staggers back.

“I-I’m sorry to hear that. You have been defeated by Bartofalt and your heart is broken. But rest assured ―― I will avenge you!”

Claire-chan pulled out the sword she was holding and looked at me as I was watching her at the entrance.

Did she notice me?

“S-Stop. You’ve got the wrong guy. I’m not Bartofalt.”

[Master who can lie naturally on the spur of the moment is truly a quintessential example.]

I told her she had the wrong person, but Claire-chan didn’t believe me.

I see cold blue eyes behind the glasses.

“If it weren’t for you, onii-sama wouldn’t have gone astray.”

“No, your brother would have gone off the path even without me.”

In the first place, they were seduced by Marie even if I wasn’t there.

Don’t blame others.

When Claire-chan did her eight-phase stance, she slashed at me.

“There being no use in arguing! Punishment! Fugya !?”

“Noooo ―― Eh?”

Claire took a big step in the bathtub, but stepped on the soap and fell forward as it was.

When I hold her up, Chris crosses his arms and lets out a sigh.

“Claire has always been a clumsy girl.”

“A clumsy girl!? ―― More importantly, aren’t you cold to this girl? Maybe you’re not on good terms?”

“No, we aren’t on bad terms, but I wouldn’t say we’re particularly close either.”

As I looked at Chris’ cold demeanor, Claire-chan woke up.

Then she blushes and jumps back from me.

“Hya, whyat are you dyoing!”

Perhaps she was flustered, she wasn’t speaking properly, so Chris translated for me.

“She thought something had been done to her while she was asleep.”

“I’m not!”

Claire-chan is crying.

It hurts me to see her wiping away her tears.

“O-Oi, I said I didn’t do anything”

“――If”

“If?”

“I-If this happens, you will have to take the responsibility!”

As Claire-chan got up and ran off, I reached out my right hand and froze.

“――Eh?”

I didn’t understand, and Chris told me as he returned to cleaning the bath.

“While she was unconscious, something happened to her and she wants you to take the responsibility. That girl will push forward when she thinks she has to. Well, I’ll leave the rest to you, Bartofalt.”

“Wait a minute! Clear the misunderstanding!”

“Isn’t it fine. In the first place, it would be easier for me if she was crazy about you, so I’d prefer that.”

D-Did this guy think so lightly of his sister?

Rather, onii-sama, she said! I feel sorry for Claire, who adores him so much.

“Is that all right for you!”

“I don’t mind. I’m rather glad that the girl, who has only learned to use a sword, is interested in love. I’ll leave the rest to you, Bartofalt. ―― I have a bath to clean.”

Seeing Chris go straight back to cleaning, the question comes to mind as to whether I am wrong.

Luxion, who was floating by my side, muttered.

[Master, only two left.]

“――Still more?”

I’m full of it already.

Sapling-chan ( ゜?゜) “Volumes 1 to 5 of “The World of Otome Game is a Tough for Mobs”, which is talked about as the protagonist is too fiend, are now on sale. Readers who have not yet done so should purchase it!”

Sapling-chan (　゜д゜) ” More importantly, isn’t it funny that when I make an appearance, I get a lot of jeers? I was the heroine of the afterword. You can’t see the postscript now that it’s gone, but I was very popular during the serialization. “

Luxion （　●） “That’s how you spread the lie that it was popular in the afterword.”

Creare （　○） “Dirty. That’s my girl, Sapling-chan, so dirty. You really are a bad girl.”
