The Consequences of Having a Master-Servant Relationship With a Yandere After Reincarnation - Side Story 4
T/N: I hope this one comes out okay, the editing for this one was quite the ordeal lol.
Side Story 4 – A Servant’s Failure
For the past three days, we have been going to and coming back from the school in a group of four.
Me, Ashley, Leila, and Alicia Campbell.
I don’t know why, but one day Ashley suddenly asked me to let her join us on our walk to school. Not only that, he asked to let her join us for lunch as well.
Well, Miss Campbell is sticking to Ashley, like usual. What had changed was Ashley’s behavior toward her. He would smile at Miss Campbell and engage in conversation with her. Not only that, he even called her Alicia. What the hell happened to him in these few days…?
Next to me, Leila is there, grinning as he clings to my arm, mimicking Miss Campbell.
“D-did you just get NTR’d by that evil woman?”
“From where did you learn that word? Don’t ruin your pretty face by saying that kind of word.”
“Eh, don’t mind that. Let’s just have fun together~”
“I wonder what kind of thing would a grade-schooler like you enjoy? Soccer? Tag?”
I pondered about it for a bit, while pacifying Leila who raged at me and tried to tell me to not treat him like a child.
“Now that I think about it, compared to me, they’re just a bunch of kids, aren’t they?”
“No? I’m technically a 29-year-old!”
“Oh no, I wasn’t talking about you.”
Ashley didn’t know, but I’ve already got enough information from my playthrough of other routes. That’s why I could keep my composure in this situation.
It’s surprising seeing him pulling this kind of childish stunt, it’s unusual, or maybe it is not? He’s been acting like he’s an adult for the longest time even though he is younger than me.
While he’s talking to Miss Campbell I noticed that he would occasionally throw his glance at me. I guess he thought I wouldn’t notice him doing that.
I would give him the benefit of the doubt, but honestly, I still feel annoyed. He’s trying to toy with me, hm?
I’m going to give him a lesson as payback, as both his master and someone older than him.
* * *
“Good afternoon, Rona, may I have a word with you?”
“Huh? With me? Not Ashley?”
I went to Ashley’s classroom during lunch break and found him hanging out with Miss Campbell there. Perfect timing.
If it’s around this time, Ashley can’t complain about who I’m hanging out with, and besides, I want to talk to Rona about a lot of things, from the information about the game, and things that I normally won’t talk about with Ashley.
“Yes. Do you want to join me for lunch? Ashley is currently occupied with Miss Campbell. Besides, I never told Ashley that we had to have our lunch together every day. Also, I’m in the mood to have a chat with you today.”
That came out like I was giving out an excuse, but, whatever.
“Ehh… No, no, no. I’m not going to have lunch with a girl who’s already taken ~”
“Then, let’s invite your brother too.”
“Mm… well, in that case…”
During lunch.
“Right, I’ll say that the best pairing is still LufAle.”
“No? If it’s that pairing, it should be ALuf! Alec is the seme while Lufrey is the uke[1]! Also, the best pairing is AleGra.”
“That’s my favorite until recently! Thanks to your brother, Gray’s image was ruined for me.”
This is a conversation that shouldn’t be talked about with a loud voice, so we whispered the whole thing. Gray-senpai, who had a bitter expression on his face, glared at both me and Rona, who giggled in response.
“Just let me go already.”
“No way. Ashley will rage at me if I talk to her by myself.”
“Then don’t bring my name up into your conversation! Rather, just stop talking about this already!”
Then, should we stop? I asked Rona with my gaze. Well, I guess Gray-senpai is feeling left out, huh?
“By the way, you’re set on using ‘boku’ to refer to yourself, huh?”
“Well, yeah, I mean, it fits my current body more, no?”
Now, I wish a certain protagonist would follow her example. He would use foul language without any restraint these days, it’s concerning. There’s no way that he could marry anyone anytime soon. Maybe we could force him to become the Queen? I mean, Flugel did fall in love with him not long ago.
It’s rare for the royal family to be married because of love nowadays though. But, if Gray and Ashley could give them some push, it might be possible… Since Leila is still close with both Flugel and Oswell… Yeah, it might work.
“Anyway, what about you, Rona? Can you get married when you’re inside that male body?”
In this world, same-s*x marriage isn’t allowed in any country, and the rule is still going strong since the older generation is still ruling the countries. But, one day, if Flugel inherits the throne, he might be able to change this… If that’s the case, Rona and Leila would be able to get married without any problem.
Well, it’ll still take time for him to inherit the throne, and it’ll take even more time to change the law, so they might still not be able to marry anytime soon.
Rona’s older brother, Gray, looked at her with a sympathetic gaze.
Though, Rona on the other hand seemed to be unaffected by her situation.
“Eh? I’m fine with marrying either a man or woman, though?”
…
“Wha?! That’s dirty! Aniki, what’s wrong with you?!”
Senpai, that’s dirty, don’t spout the tea on me, please.
“Cough! …H-how can you say that thing so casually like that? What’s wrong with your head?!”
“Eh? I thought you know about it, Aniki. I used to play galge too.”
Ah, she used ‘atashi’ again.
“Did you think that would be enough for me to know about your s*xuality?!”
“But anyway, don’t you think people put a little bit too much emphasis on gender? I mean, if you like someone’s face and you feel comfortable around them, that means you love them, am I wrong?”
Even if you asked my opinion about this, I’m straight, so I don’t even know what I should say… Still, it’s amazing our conversation would derail this far.
“In my previous life, well, I didn’t tell my Aniki because I thought that he would be disappointed in me, but I dated both a boy and a girl, at the same time!”
“Woah, what a sc*m.”
The ultimate form of two-timing! If Leila had been as skillful as her, he probably would have nailed himself a boyfriend already.
“So that’s the reason why you neglected your study.”
“Right back at you! Your servant once threatened to kill me in the bathtub, you know?”
“That’s… I’m sorry…”
I’ve already told him that he shouldn’t be doing anything extreme like that! Seriously, Ashley and Rona both fit the title of the game, what’s with their bloody way of settling things.
“Well, in this life, I already set my sight on my targets! I’m going to capture both Wood-senpai and Cosgrove-senpai!”
“I’m going to tell them to stay away from you.”
When someone blatantly said that they would two-time someone, I think I’m morally obligated to stop them.
“Eh, why aren’t you supporting me instead? It’s an otoge world you know? We’re supposed to capture our targets.”
“You’re the one who’s supposed to be captured, not the one who’s capturing.”
This child has a serious problem. Why is it the people who got reincarnated with the wrong gender are so problematic?
The matter of opposite or the same s*x… I don’t know anymore.
“W-wait, a-aren’t you using the same room as Ashley… to, uh, change clothes?”
“Ahh… yes, I saw his everything.”
“What?! I’ve never even done that before!”
It’s not like that! I-it isn’t like I want to see his body or anything! But the thought of someone that isn’t myself seeing his bare body is disturbing me.
While they are technically of the same gender, this person would lust over the same gender no problem.
“Did you imagine that, senpai?”
“No, I didn’t!”
“Yes, you did.”
Even if I did, I wouldn’t say that I did. Even if I imagined it, I wouldn’t say that I imagined it. Wait, no, I didn’t imagine it. Absolutely not.
I just noticed this. Ashley and Rona live in the same room. Rona is a girl, all things considered.
“It’s okay, I’m not going to grope him or anything, I’m used to seeing the naked body of the men in the bathrooms. It’s just, sometimes I miss the soft body of a girl, you know?”
“Are you acting like Leila now?!”
I’d better not get too close to her.
“I’m not a pervert though, I’m just s*xy.”
Don’t call yourself that!
“Wait a second! Back then when there was a boy who came over on the long vacation… could it be…”
“Oh, c’mon, don’t ask me something so obvious, o-nii-san ~”
“You… shameless woman!”
“I’m a man now though ~”
Ara, so she got herself a boyfriend in this world already. On top of that, she’s still trying to chase Lufrey and Sarah. I’ll tell Ashley to keep his guard up, just in case.
“Ah, right, do you want to get along better with me too, senpai?”
“No, thank you.”
“I’m kidding ~ Senpai might have a beautiful face and a big chest, but if I actually try to go after you, Ashley is going to kill me.”
What is this? She’s becoming more and more like Leila by the seconds. Though I’m glad that she is aware of how dangerous Ashley could be, so she wouldn’t carelessly act on her desires.
“You’re too close to him. Don’t let him hold your hand.”
“Hii?!”
Someone suddenly grabbed me by the shoulders and spun me around in my chair. It was so sudden that I let out a strange voice.
His face is too close!
“Ashley! Seriously, that was bad for my heart!”
“I don’t get you. Why aren’t you bothered when I go out and chat with another girl? You didn’t even spare a glance at me. It’s strange. It isn’t supposed to be like this…”
“What are you, a maiden-in-love?”
I don’t know how to feel about that. I still like him though.
“Rona, aren’t you on my side?”
“Well, this and that happened.”
I see. Rona is his collaborator.
Miss Campbell then came up running behind Ashley.
“Wait, Ashley! What are you doing? You know that he’s still…”
But then someone else came up running toward Miss Campbell.
“Alicia! What on earth are you doing?!”
Miss Campbell’s cheeks twitched. Her pretty face twisted into a crumpled mess.
“S-sensei…”
A weak voice came out from her mouth, it was so sudden and so out-of-character, I almost choked from hearing that.
[1] Well, if you don’t know already, in BL, seme is the dominant one and uke is the submissive one.
