Chapter 1: I was a Heroine!

Chapter 1: I was a Heroine!



The time when I had started to feel uneasy about this world -- if I remember correctly, I think I had just passed my fifth birthday.

I -- the eldest daughter of a baron family, Flora Eurencie -- was raised to be, and grew quickly into an innocent ojou-sama. Cherished by the people around me, a bit of selfishness was tolerated as well.
My private tutor had instructed me on basic etiquette and morals though; so it didn't reach the extent of becoming an unreasonable ojou-sama. You have to thank my parents, in that respect.

I was raised, without incident, as an ojou-sama; and so I had also thought that I'd one day become someone's fiancée and then become a very ordinary wife — that's right.

Until one day.



Suddenly the world lost its familiarity.

「Where is here?」

…… The country of Grimis?

「Who am I?」

Flora Eurencie…… Flora?

Reflected in the mirror was a cute little girl.
Clear sky-blue eyes.
And shining, sparkling, fluffy, light pink hair that hangs over the shoulder like a game character.

Game character... huh?

It was an indecent purchase. One with ikemen for you to enjoy and make-believe as your lover.
There were also racy situations in it.
Look, such a thing…… such a thing as 『Forbidden Passion～ Sweet Trap of Rape』 was an amazing title for a R-18, ne?

Wait.

Who am I?

A Japanese, an ordinary clerk……

Wrong, now I have become Flora Eurencie, the heroine of『Forbidden Passion～ Sweet Trap of Rape』!

The girl with pink hair in the mirror could be seen with her mouth wide open.
My eyes turned white and I collapsed and apparently had nightmares for three days and three nights.





「Ojou-sama, are you already at your limit?」

I was angry at the cold hearted and emotionless man's voice and so I reflexively emotionally retorted.

「I can still go for more.」

「If you say so, yet aren't you already shaking as you stand on your feet? Aren't I always saying that it is important to know your own limits?」

As I tried to stand up using the sword as support, I immediately collapsed and fell face first on the ground. It grazed me a little bit.
Seeing that there was a sting, it seems that a scratch was made.
I casted a recovery spell, but it seems that the MP was insufficient as it was not invoked.

「…… Damn.」

I hit the ground with my fist.

「Even if you object vulgarly, the ability will not appear, and it merely sounds unpleasant.」

The man who quickly reproached me, approached and looked down coldly at me from behind his glasses. Anger welled up inside me; but because what was said was true, I couldn't say anything.
The man with sleek black hair and silver coloured eyes -- my exclusive butler, who was been watching me -- has been my magic and martial arts mentor for six years.

I was around five years old when I noticed I had reincarnated into an otome game world where I knew, in the future, ikemen with rape routes will be waiting for me. This troubled me endlessly.
But because I wasn't that bright, I raised my offensive abilities instead.

If they hit you, hit them back. With that much power, you might be able to escape the evil clutches of the nefarious ikemen. Even if your power is no match for a man's, you can still fight back with magic; and if it hits them and you continue to resist, there might still be the possibility of escaping.
In the end, I can only rely on my own power.

Thinking so, I read beginner magic books and practiced them until they wore out, repeatedly exhausted my magic power until the quantity rose, did running and weight training until I collapsed -- as the basis of my endurance training. As well as begged my parents for a magic and martial arts tutor.
By the time I was twelve years old, my tutors told me 「I have nothing more to teach you.」and advised me to do more advanced training.
So it was then when we hired Karl.

「Until when do you plan to grovel? If you were inside a forest, you would have been eaten by a demon long ago.」

I glared at the super-butler with the worst personality, whose hand was held over my ankle.

「…… Heal.」

In an instance, my MP was restored. It was obvious that Karl's timing was perfect. Though hateful, this guy was truly capable.
Moving slowly, this time I was able to get up.

「So then, we will end here today. You have to fix that habit of putting in too much power when you're emotional.」

「……Yes. Thank you very much.」

Swallowing my frustration, I bowed my head.
Without looking back, he turned around and returned to the mansion.

「……How vexing! What with that, Sebastian person?!」

「It's Karl.」

Cursing him from behind, only a cool reply was returned.

「All butlers are Sebastian's!」

Tears trickled and flowed down my face, causing the wound to sting with pain.

「Uuu……」

Sobbing and crying while rubbing my eyes, I returned to my room.
I was completely unable to catch up to today's Sebastian-ish Karl.
There isn't much time anymore and I -- I am still weak. If it is like this, then it is useless.
If it is like this, I am going to be attacked and raped.

「Ojou-sama!」

The maid, Ellen -- who was waiting and preparing the bath -- rushed over in concern at my miserable appearance.

「Maa, there's blood on your face!」

「I'm completely no match for Sebastian……」

Sob sob.

「Heal.」

Ellen looked pale as she saw the blood, so even if I was crying, I healed the wound by using the MP I had saved up on my way back to the room.

「Aa, How heart wrenching……even though Ojou-sama is doing her very best. Well then, please wash up and rest well.」

Ellen said that to coddle me; but in order to oppose against those ikemen with monster-like powers, it is useless unless there's someone around who could beat them bare handedly.

I need power.
For that, even if I'm in tears and end up grovelling, I have to train.





When I got out of the bath and finished dressing, Karl appeared with tea prepared. The black tea was poured elegantly.
Karl is truly a first-class butler as all his movements are beautiful.
He wears a black suit, perfectly fitted to his body; and his wages are so high, they can't be compared to other butlers. However, he does the work corresponding to it.
Our house is of a baron, and though our social position isn't that high in the ranks of nobility, father has a good head for business and there is no need to worry about money, thankfully.

Multi-colored sweets were arranged in front of me.
This teatime also serves as a break in training, to replenish energy, and is also part of an ojou-sama's training according to the super butler.

「Please.」

「Thank you.」

I received the offered tea with the etiquette of a lady and said.

「Ne~ Sebastian.」

「It's Karl.」

「Right now, how strong am I?」

「How strong you say?」

「Specifically…… That's right. Am I able to fight against a knight of the castle?」

「If it's an underling knight then it would be an equal match.」

Uwa, an underling's level, huh.
But it's not going to be an underling, ne? The ikemen who will be the capture target.

「For example, if it were a captain's class…… Right. If I use underhanded methods and used magic to catch them off-guard? Could I win?」

「What on earth does Ojou-sama plan on doing? …… Well then, if you surround them in plenty of traps, there may be a chance to win, right?」

「Ara, really?!」

「But to use underhanded methods…… Why would you look so happy?」

「Ne~ Well then, if the other person was a chief magician, how about it?」

「If it's a surprise attack or similar; if the other party is unprepared, Ojou-sama's magic and sword may have the potential to knock down the other party…… Really though, what are you intending to do?」

「Eh? Is that so…… So, nfu~ nfufu~」

Karl saw me break into a grin and looked at me weirdly.
I unexpectedly heard a good response from Karl, and so my mood improved.
There is a chance of victory!
I'm quite strong, aren't I?
Yatta!

Oh, but, I'm being defeated black and blue by Karl everyday, and there is no progress?

「Sebastian, you, how strong are you?」

Then, although he rarely changes expression, he grinned and smirked.
And due to the excessive evilness of it, I shuddered.

「It's Karl…… And it's a secret, Ojou-sama.」

Karl…… Who exactly are you?

TN:

• Flora Eurencie ⇒『フローラ・ユーレンシー』
• Grimis ⇒『グリミス』(Initially wrote Grimace, but was reminded of that McDonald's character, or grimace as in a frown.)
• Karl ⇒ 『カール』 (It could be a C but I intentionally spelled it with a K as if you read Audrey's story, Calfan's nickname is actually also カル without the long カー. I did this to distinguish between the two more easily.)
• If they hit you, you hit them back. ⇒ Thanks to fellow translators for helping me figure out this line.
• Sebastian ⇒ This refers to Sebastian of the popular manga/anime, Black Butler.
