CHAPTER 01
I Remembered After Falling Into the Pond
I decided to jump on the trend and write a villainess reincarnation story!
Ah, I must surely be a villainess.
Just before I turned six, I placed a tiny frog with round eyes on a fan because I wanted to show it to my little brother.
“Big Sister? What are you doing?”
“Look!”
“Uwaaaah!”
Startled, my little brother shoved me, and I splashed straight into the garden pond!
After I was rescued, memories came flooding back while I lay feverish in bed.
In my previous life, I had lived in a country called Japan on a planet called Earth.
I was completely obsessed with light novels and spent every waking moment staring at either a book or my smartphone while walking around.
Walking while using your smartphone is dangerous.
Yes, I got into a traffic accident because I was walking while looking at my phone.
Walking while using your smartphone is dangerous.
It’s important, so I said it twice!!
Seriously, don’t do it!
Anyway…
I loved light novels so much that it seems I ended up being reincarnated into another world.
As the daughter of the Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Menayuha.
My appearance is beautiful, with fiery red twin-tails and slightly sharp, cat-like eyes that make me look rather mean.
When my fever went down and I looked in the mirror, I suddenly realized it.
Ah. I have the face of a villainess.
Unlike the typical light novel scenario, I have absolutely no memories like, “This is that game!” or “I’m that noble lady from that novel!” or “That character from that manga!”
However, villainess reincarnation stories were incredibly popular when I died, so that must be it!
“Lady Cardinal! You mustn’t get out of bed yet!”
“Cardi! Don’t underestimate a fever!”
The maid Marsha and my older brother suddenly burst into the room and scolded me, sending me back to bed.
Cardinal Browrose is my current name.
Ah, if this follows the typical pattern, it’ll probably involve getting engaged to a prince and then having the engagement broken off, right?
The daughter of the Prime Ministerâhow clichĂŠ.
But there’s one problem.
I’ve only ever read light novels about villainess reincarnations.
That’s rightâI have never played an otome game!
Umm… what exactly is a villainess supposed to do again?
As I lay in bed, that was all I could think about.
And so, a new story begins.
I hope you’ll join me on this journey.
