The World of Otome Games is Tough For Mobs

Volume 3 Short Story - Marie’s study Livia compilation

WonderGOO Bonus SS

Marie was laughing loudly.

“I can’t stop laughing!”

Sitting atop her bed in her room in the girls’ dorms, she held out her arms and looked up at the ceiling.

“Isn’t it a bit too easy to become the saint!”

Originally, Olivia should have been the one to become saint.

But in some kind of mistake, Marie was chosen as the saint.

In that otome game, the protagonist who had a high level of healing magic was chosen as the saint.

In that case, shouldn’t she be able to become a saint too?

With thoughts like that in mind, she gave it a try and succeeded.

“The effort I put into practising magic immediately after reincarnating was worth it.”

After reincarnating into a world of swords and magic, this time around Marie sought a happy life.

Even as a compliment, she couldn’t really call her new family great.

In these sorts of circumstances, Marie worked hard without relying on anyone else.

Making use of her game knowledge, she raised her magic ability.

There was also the motive of “If I improve my healing magic, I won’t need to worry about having nothing to eat”.

She worked diligently every day so that her efforts wouldn’t be wasted and finally was able to become the saint.

“It’s fantastic that all my hard work is being rewarded! If I had this power in my previous life, I’m sure—”

—She might’ve been able to save her brother.

Marie calmed down and then sat back down on her large bed.

“No good. I can’t keep moping forever.”

Marie was sure that from now on, her life was going to be blessed.

“With the status and honour that comes with being the saint, Julius might also be able to return to the position of crown prince. Once that happens, I’ll no longer be troubled by matters related to money.”

Money was very important.

In her previous life, Marie had a lot of problems related to men and money.

“If I have money, I’ll be able to feed everyone.”

Thinking about the future with her troublesome lovers, becoming the saint gave her a sense of relief.

But—

“What about the protagonist Olivia? I thought she might approach Julius and co. but she showed no interest in them at all.”

That was a huge relief for Marie who was wary about the possibility of her feeling her own destiny and approaching Julius and co.

“Well she suits that mob guy. He’s a bit strong, has achievements to his name and has a lot of money but all things said, he’s just a mob character.”

Compared to the likes of Julius, that mob guy Leon isn’t really anything great.

That’s what Marie thought but then she calmly thought it over again.

“Huh? Hold up.”

Leon certainly lost in the looks department to Julius and co.

But unlike Julius and co. he was someone who obtained all he had though actual accomplishments.

Before enrolling in school, he went out on an adventure and obtained his own wealth.

Even in the looks department, he couldn’t really be called ugly.

In comparison, what about Julius and co.?

She was happy they chose her over their fiancees, but they were disinherited. They caused a lot of trouble to their surroundings, and even in the future, she continued to hold worries about them.

And most importantly—they had no monetary sense.

Originally, they were a crown prince and a bunch of heirs to prestigious noble families.

Their monetary sense was completely on a different scale to Marie.

Marie often couldn’t understand their wasteful usage of money.

Just comparing their earning ability alone, Leon was the better option.

And most importantly, Leon had fought the five of them and won.

He wasn’t handsome but that wasn’t really an issue.

“Isn’t it amazing how he won so easily against those five?”

Leon had arrived at his current position through achievements and had his own armor and airship. Compared to the other five was he really inferior? If anything, it felt like he was better.

“Wait a sec—like actually hold up! Other than his looks and personality, he has the full package!”

While holding her head in her hands, Marie finally noticed.

Julius and co. were handsome and kind but they were mooches.

On the other hand, Leon’s appearance was only so-so but he was a working man and had produced results.

“M-Maybe that chick!”

Marie’s entire body went stiff with chills.

That otome game’s protagonist Livia naturally attracted the best boys to herself. In the game, Julius was the crown prince and the others were all heirs of prestigious noble families.

They had status, prestige and wealth.

But what about now?

All five of them were dependent on Marie.

Marie realised her mistake.

Whilst I was busy feeding everyone, she was aiming for the mob guy and living a peaceful life.”

While holding her head, Marie imagined Livia’s smiling figure. She felt as if she was being mocked.

A terrible woman who aimed for the man with the highest specs - was that the true form of Livia?

Did she instinctively choose the strongest and most reliable man?

Was it possible that instead of stealing those five guys, they were pushed onto her by Livia?

Marie became wary of the woman called Livia.

She broke out into a cold sweat.

“B-But once I become the saint, our situations will be reversed again. I bet that evil woman Olivia never expected this to happen… she wouldn’t be able to predict this, right?”

Marie suddenly grew scared of Livia.
