Reincarnated Villainess From Scratch

Chapter 1

Chapter 1 Transmigrated as a villainess and then was judged

~~~~

[Alicia, will you admit to all the crimes such as bullying the Holy Maiden of Light, Ifty?]

[…]

Alicia was dazed and confused about what was happening in front of her.

Why was she handcuffed and shackled, facing the cold eyes of everyone, and being judged here?

What’s more, why do they call her Alicia… Her real name is Hanane, a harmless college student.

How harmless is she? On weekdays, except for the necessary attendance, she basically does not step out of the gate of her rental house.

After all, her greatest joy is to stay in a simple rental house to make up for time in Otome games.

Thanks to this lifestyle, let alone having conflicts with other people, when she went to college for two years, she doesn’t even know anyone.

After all, in order to avoid contact with people, Hanane opened up excel to formulate an action plan that allows her to have the least contact with other people while barely meeting the minimum number of attendance, and she strictly followed this plan of hers.

For her meals, she orders take out and does not go out unless necessary.

Hanane believes that contact with people is meaningless and troublesome, and feels her life lackluster. Only when she is immersed in the world of anime can she feel the color of the world.

If you want to talk about dreams, it is to watch all the animes in the world and push down all the beautiful girls in the Otome games.

This is her, she has nothing to do with bullying.

The white-bearded old man sitting on the high platform wearing a judge’s hat banged on the table angrily ‘bang bang bang’ when he saw that Alicia didn’t speak.

[Refusing to admit hard facts. Unexpectedly, you would still stay silent when all the evidences are placed right in front of you! What a vain daughter of a duke. Well, let the witness speak for you. First up, Prince Arthur.]

A tall and majestic man took a step forward, his face very serious under his short gray hair.

[Duchess Alicia, who once stuffed her most hated caterpillars into Ifty’s clothes, I witnessed it with my own eyes and I naturally stopped it!]

[Very well. Next is the second prince, Edward.]

A handsome man with long blond hair and a flirty smile stood up.

[Yes, I testify that Alicia stole the magic props from the academy and wanted to frame Ifty-chan. As Alicia’s ex-fiancé, I know her perfectly well.]

[Very good. Next is William, the son of the prime minister.]

A dark-haired gloomy handsome man stepped forward.

[Yes… Alicia, she once took a few of her followers to besiege Ifty in the woods outside the campus. Unfortunately for her, I witnessed everything and helped Ifty clear the siege, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.]

[Is that so, the daughter of the Marquis, Tilla and Roselle?]

The two eldest ladies with exaggerated curly hair stepped forward and complained tearfully:

[Mr. William is right. But Alicia used her power as the daughter of the duke to force us to help her do evil. All of this was orchestrated by Alicia alone, we tried to persuade her otherwise, but to no avail.]

[Great! Now finally, our last witness, the most outstanding student of the year, Joffrey, a commoner. He is without a background so what he says should be credible enough.]

A man, wearing glasses, took a step forward and gave Alicia a vicious look before saying:

[In the magic theory exam, it was Alicia, who tried to cheat, yet she framed it as if Ifty was the one who did it. If I didn’t clarify it in the end, Ifty would’ve been expelled.]

[I think we have heard enough. So many witnesses testified together, including the princes, future prime minister, as well as an excellent commoner. If what these people said together are not credible enough, then I’m afraid no one in this world is credible.]

The white-haired old man paused and said towards Alicia:

[Alicia, I’ll give you one last chance to plead guilty. May this be your last dignity before passing.]

[…]

Alicia didn’t understand the situation at first, but when the witnesses charged herself impassively and seeing their faces, she suddenly realized:

Aren’t these all the characters from the Otome game “First Love Magic Academy ~ Dokidoki’s Heart Adventure”?

There are a total of four characters that the player can interact with: the reliable prince Arthur, the handsome slutty second prince Edward, the gloomy prime minister’s son William, and the commoner Joffrey.

The protagonist of the game is the baron’s daughter, Ifty, who looks gorgeous but her presence is a little transparent due to her lack of outstanding achievements and status.

However, with her beautiful face and kind heart, she succeeded in attracting the attention of these male targets and finally awakened light magic.

A double harvest of both lovers and career.

Of course, the game is not smooth sailing. Among the challenges you face, there are many villains, who will do everything possible to obstruct the protagonist.

The most distinct of them is Alicia, the fiancée of the second prince.

Although Alicia’s little stature does not have the villainous style of the eldest prince’s fiancee Sarah, she is worse than being annoying, harassing you everywhere.

Therefore, after Alicia was finally convicted, even Hanane, who was a little tired of the cliches in the game, felt a little refreshed.

Of course, if she is the one being convicted, she will not be happy at all!

Bang bang bang!

[So you won’t admit it ‘till the end? That’s regrettable. Now I will sentence Alicia to death. With grave crimes such as bullying the Holy Maiden of Light, Ifty! She will be executed today!]

—-

‘Hey, is there something wrong with the death penalty?!’

Leaning against the cold wall of the prison, Alicia felt like she was in a dream and it was a nightmare at that.

She racked her brains and finally concluded that the reason for her death sentence was because her duke parents were charged with treason.

The other characters, who bullied Ifty, were only punished in each story line, but it was only Alicia, who could not escape this fate.

She was thinking that if she were to be halfway through the story line, she could still rely on her rich experience playing this game to prevent her irreclaimable future.

But if the start is here, what is there could she do!? Could it be that she played too many Otome games that she was punished for her frequent empathy?

‘Cuckoo Cuckoo Cuckoo…’

[Uhm… I’m so hungry…]

Click…

The iron door of the prison cell suddenly opened a crack and the guard handed over a hearty bowl of pork chop rice.

[Miss, this is your last meal, so enjoy.]

Bang… The iron gate was slammed shut again.

No matter how much (imaginary) stars appear in her eyes to show amazement at this, she just ate it immediately.

After a full meal, Alicia, whose blood was concentrated in her stomach to promote digestion, was a little drowsy.

This must all be a nightmare, just close your eyes and go to sleep, when you open your eyes again, it will be the familiar rental house ceiling.

That’s right, she was just pulling another all-nighter playing this game and fell asleep accidentally, that must be the case.

This is just a nightmare that warns her to not stay up so late in the future. Forget it, go back and change your bad habits.

The next day.

Early in the morning, Alicia, who was rudely awakened by the guard, did not return to the reality she wished.

And without any struggle, she was dragged out by the guards and walked in the dimly lit prison.

Climbing up more than 100 steps of stairs, the sudden exposure to sunlight made her narrow her eyes slightly before stepping forward, the noise of the crowd echoed in her ears.

Squeak…

Alicia was dragged to the wooden stage where she saw a large crowd and at the front of the crowd is exactly Ifty, who is the cause of her trial in the first place.

Beside her are the male targets of the Otome game.

And in front of her eyes is…

The silver-white blade fixed above, the reflected light on the sharp blade was very dazzling. This… is that Alicia only had seen in history books and games, The Guillotine!

No, does she really want to be executed? Why are so many people looking at her, so scary, so scary…

Alicia’s pupils dilated, only then did she remember to struggle desperately, but it was too late. Her weak body was completely unable to defy the heavily armored guards.

Soon, her neck was fastened to the wooden plank that declared her death. Unable to bear the gazes of people, Alicia had to close her eyes tightly.

With the passage of an unknown amount of time, the grip of death hasn’t got a hold of her yet, not that she felt her soul float out her body.

In the darkness, Alicia could only hear the clamor of the crowd suddenly amplifying. Then her vision returned.

‘In the end what happened?’ With such a question in mind, Alicia opened her eyes, and in front of her was Ifty, who was crying with tears in her eyes as she covered her mouth in distress.

[No, no, I never wanted Alicia to end up like this.]

[Darling, you are just frightened. It’s okay, just don’t look at it. ]

Edward blocked Ifty’s vision, and looked straight into Alicia’s eyes with contempt as if looking at a worm. Unable to stand the contempt-filled vision, Alicia avoided his gaze.

Out of the corner of her eye, she saw herself… No, it was her lower body.

‘Oh, so I’ve already been executed.’

This nightmare is really dragging for a bit, but after you close your eyes again, you will return to reality.

The previous fears vanished with the onset of darkness.

—-

Bang bang bang bang!

[Alicia, will you admit to the grave crime of bullying the Holy Maiden of Light, Ifty?]

[What?]

Opening her eyes again, the first sentence she heard was the question of Judge Whitebeard.

What on earth happened!? Did she… go back in time?
