Reincarnated in an Otome game as the ugly character in the background - Chapter 99: The Calamity Witch is a girl too

Chapter 99: The Calamity Witch is a girl too

We slept over at the church where Lily grew up.

I got up early as a rooster came in and pecked my face.

After changing my clothes went running with my Raijin straight to deliver the bikes, then I came back and went to check on Lily.

She was sleeping cuddled up with the local kids.

I got a little jealous of a little girl who slept on her breasts.

We said our goodbyes and said we would send presents soon and come back next year or whenever we could make it.

Raquel told me to take care of Lily after giving me a light smack on the cheek, I smacked her back too, but on her sacred parts.

She was a real woman now, I think.

After returning I lay down for a while as I was still sleepy.

When I wake up I will resume what is the most important of the day, Amy.

◇

I woke up again and went downstairs to have breakfast with the girls.

They were all eating toast with jam and bacon.

I said to Eli as Lily devoured a large mountain of toast.

“Eli, I’d like what’s left of this vacation, to be left alone.”

“…?”

Of course, she didn’t understand what I was saying. She looked cute as she ate her toast and her mouth was full of jam.

“Why? It’s almost time to enter classes, we should spend it together.”

“I know. But there’s someone who hasn’t been here in a long time and I want to give her the attention she deserves.”

“… You’re talking about Amy-san, right?”

“Yes.”

Amy has been alone since the day we all went to the beach.

I tried to talk to her afterwards, but she seems to be walking around resenting me.

So I’ll take this opportunity to talk to her.

I’ll take Leila for a walk while I’m at it.

My relationship with her is just like a master and his dog. I don’t know if she would be a member of my harem considering how she is.

Eli swallowed his toast before saying.

“If it’s what you must do, do it. I’d hate to have to see a girl mad at you just for giving us attention.”

“… It would be bad if she killed you in your sleep just for walking around resentful.”

“What did you say?”

“Nothing.”

*Chew*

I hurriedly ate and after saying goodbye to the girls I went to look for Leila.

“Master!”

I greeted her, Leila wears clothes that make her look like a man, she really likes to dress like that.

I asked her as a favor to take me to Amy as only she should know where she is.

She told me to follow her and we went to find her.

◇

Leila led me to the docks where the ships were anchoring.

The place didn’t reek of seafood despite bringing in lots of it.

In the distance I saw a figure dressed in white.

A woman was wearing a beautiful long dress, slippers and a white hat.

Amy was using a branch to touch a starfish.

Leila, who was next to me watching the fishermen landing fish, I told her to go play around while I thought about what to say to her.

“H-Hello. It’s been a while.”

She saw me and made a “Hmph” in a very childish way. She puffed out even her cheeks.

I asked her “Can I sit next to you?” and she said.

“If you want.”

As I sat down, I tried to slowly move closer to her.

But like an annoying child she kept moving away from me.

I froze because she was evidently moving away from me.

What should I do?

“… Did you have fun?”

She suddenly spoke to me without turning to look at me.

“Y-Yes. If you had been there, it would have been much better.”

“You should know better than anyone that I hate humans.”

“I am one.”

“You’re different. You’re the one who saved me that day.”

I moved closer and she didn’t try to pull away.

“I’m sorry.”

“Is that all you can say?”

“I-I’m not good with words.”

“Make something up. I’ll wait for you.”

You want me to make something up?

I waved my hands in desperation for Amy caught me off guard.

“Err… emm… uhh…”

I couldn’t think on something.

Stupid me!

*Sigh*

“Razel-sama. What am I to you?”

After hearing Amy’s sigh, she asked me something.

I told her without wasting any time.

“Someone important to me. One of my women. The first one in fact.”

“If I’m the first of them all, why haven’t you contacted me in all this time?”

“It’s been about half a year since we saw each other in the lawless city. You don’t even remember asking me for your help.”

I immediately prostrated myself in a dogeza to beg for forgiveness.

“I’m so sorry Amy!”

“What are you apologizing for?”

She asked me that, I said.

“I-I’ve neglected you so much. You’re not only an important ally, you’re also my woman.”

“Because I’ve enjoyed time with everyone else I’ve neglected you.”

“I’ve made bad choices in my life.”

“But the worst has been ignoring you thinking you’d be fine.”

That’s when Amy finally looked at me.

She wanted to cry.

“…Why are you saying that now, what’s the point of just saying it?”

“You know all this time I’ve waited for your visit just once.”

Her tears began to fall.

“I remember when we were since the day you found me together.”

“Every day you came to see me, we talked, ate together and even got to tease the golems who guarded the place.”

“But when you entered the capital, you left me all alone.”

“My only company is Leila, but she’s no good for that, I can’t have a proper conversation with someone who has an intelligence equal to a dog.”

“I waited every day for you to come to see me, a letter, a gift something… the only time you contacted me was to ask for help and then you forgot!”

“It makes me happy to be together, but you don’t even understand that I also want to be by your side more than those women!”

“I’m annoyed and jealous that you can have a day off with them while you ignore me like I’m a piece of paper on the wall!”

“Why can’t you understand that I too have simple feelings like those girls do!”

“I’m also a girl who doesn’t know the world and just wants to spend an afternoon with you, but even that you can’t grasp!”

“You haven’t bothered to come to see me more than once in almost two weeks! I’ve been completely ignored by you! You treat me like I’m someone else and not who I am!”

*Crying*

Amy’s cry was a loud punch in the face which I couldn’t block.

The reason for that is because she is right.

I always when I mention Amy I do so with the thought that she is the witch of calamity.

An enemy of the game.

But the girl in front of me is not that.

She’s a normal girl like Eli and Lily.

She’s not the woman who will lay waste to half the capital city, let alone the bearer of capital sin.

She is just a girl who went through a traumatic time in her life and, thanks to me, she did not generate contempt for human life.

Amy is strong because of her magical power, but the emotional state is different.

I better than anyone else understand the words of rejection and being ignored.

I can’t excuse myself, I always thought she would be fine without me.

But she wants to be with me like the others.

“Really. I always end up ruining everything.”

Just like with Eli, with Barbara and now Amy.

“I can only say the same thing. I’m sorry. No matter how many times I say it, it will never be enough.”

I prostrated myself before her to ask for forgiveness.

But Amy kept my head from touching the ground and hugged me, it was a gentle hug.

“I’m upset because you ignore me. But I can’t hate you since you are the most important person in my life.”

I hugged her back.

“You too. They all are, but it’s because of you that I’ve been able to gain my own strength. If I was my old self, I would have died a long time ago.”

“Thank you for being by my side Amy. I love you.”

“I love you too.”

We looked at each other for a moment and gave each other a warm loving kiss.

It was short lived, but I could feel the world stop.

As we pulled our mouths apart I said to her.

“I promise to make you happy. This time I won’t let you suffer.”

I was saying this both to Amy present to me and to the Amy in the game.

I will not let that Amy exist as she suffers.

We stood up and walked down the beach holding hands.

“I want to spend more time with you. But there’s almost no time left before we enter classes.”

“As much as I’d love to say I’d like to miss classes, Barbara will prevent it. Just like Eli and Lily would scold me saying ‘The future duke must have good grades, if he graduates with a lousy score it would be very dishonorable for us’ something like that they would say.”

Amy laughed a little.

“Fufu, those girls as you describe them seem to be quite the case.”

“Should I brainwash them?”

“… Wait, is there such a thing as brainwashing magic?”

“No. But I could try.”

“Please don’t. Who knows what could happen.”

I began to sweat at the thought of such a thing existing.

Brainwashing people is horrible.

I say that because the perpetrator could be some lunatic.

Amy said to me with a straight face.

“I said I won’t do it, you don’t need to be uptight.”

“S-Sorry.”

We kept walking and then she took a few steps forward to tell me.

“There’s something I want to know.”

“What’s that?”

“Between me and that woman, Barbara I think it was?”

“Who is prettier?”

“They’re both pretty, their long hair gives them both a touch of maturity that the others don’t have.”

“Eeh…”

“Good. Now…”

Now Amy cornered me, she used her hands to lift her large breasts.

“Between her and I. Who has the bigger breasts?”

(That’s playing dirty!)

(Not for nothing is Barbara at the top of my top three girls with the biggest breasts.)

(She’ll get mad if I tell her it’s not her!)

(Should I lie? Yes, this is also for Barbara’s sake, as Amy might become resentful of her.)

I will definitely tell her. It was what I was thinking at the time.

“You─”

“It’s obviously not I. Haven’t you seen the size of those breasts? They’re clearly bigger than mine.”

“That woman is in every definition a cow.”

“…”

I was speechless, but she came up to me and said.

“If you want me to be ‘stuffed’ too, you must give me a baby. On that condition alone I don’t mind looking like that.”

(What do they all have to do with getting pregnant?)

(I’m only 17 years old! No, I’ll be 18 soon so it’s worse for me since according to the laws of the empire, I’m under the obligation to get married.)

(I want to play a little more before I spend all day in an office and change diapers!)

I hugged her and told her so she wouldn’t think badly of me again.

“O-Of course you do. Just let me find a suitable date.”

Amy looked at me, I could see the darkness in her gaze.

It was the same darkness that the Amy from the game showed when she heard about the love Lily was talking about.

“Are you sure?”

“Y-Yes. Very much so.”

“Okay.”

*Smile*

She smiled in a cute way despite seeing me with those menacing eyes.

“Masteeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeer! Onee-samaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”

A voice called out to us from afar.

It came running at full speed raising a new one of smoke.

It was Leila… who had apparently stolen fresh fish.

I said to Amy.

“Can we go somewhere?”

“Where would you like to go?”

“I saw a nice place yesterday where it says they serve a very delicious seafood soup.”

“Let’s go then.”

Amy held up her finger and both me and Leila were lifted up to fly out of there.

“What’s the name of the place?”

I told her the name of the place.

“Weissland Village.”

“Let’s go then.”

Amy took us straight to that place. No doubt this day will be a great day for us as we will spend it together.
