I Am The Game's Villain

After eating, Lyra, Jayden and Milleia exchanged their numbers and created a group. Speaking about cliché, it was a good one. Since I left everything in the mansion, including my phone, I couldn't give them my number.

Still, why the hell was Lyra already close to Jayden and Milleia? Was that because of me? She had a bad impression of me in the game though? Did she change her view on me just because I hung out with Jayden and Milleia, who were just commoners?

I honestly don't know what to think of that, though I doubted it was the second case.

Sigh…I already changed the plot but I planned to involve myself so I didn't really feel bad. If I had to say it in a game-like way. I was going to be the controller moving and choosing for the character Jayden.

Lyra proposed to visit the academy right after, so we did that. I was tired, but I needed to know every corner of the academy since several things would happen there. We didn't enter the buildings of the second years and third years though, because well, Jayden and Milleia were a little reluctant.

If the freshmen noble students were already bullying them, then what about the sophomores and the nobles being in the last year? Their pride must be high enough to be annotated to even see commoners in their buildings. Of course, I and Lyra were there, as high-ranking nobles, no one could really insult Milleia or Jayden who were with us, but Milleia didn't want to bother us.

"We should take a look at our room in the dormitory as well. Let's go."

Lyra was sure active. She grabbed Milleia's arm and dragged her ahead. Even in the game, they were besties, but not on the first day. Looks like my change really affected the story. In the game, Lyra didn't approach me like she did at the end of the class today.

"Let's check our room, Edward."

Jayden called out to me.

I followed him.

Now that I think about it, where was my room located in the first years of dormitory?

I know where Jayden's room was since I played with him in the game, but not Edward.

We walked for a few minutes and reached the first years building. The dormitory was conveniently built next to it so we wouldn't have to walk long before reaching our room.

By the way, most of the students lived in the dormitory, regardless of whether they had a mansion in the capital or not, because they had everything here. Honestly, some lived better in the dormitory than in their own mansion.

For example, Lyra preferred the dormitory to her own house even though she had a mansion in the Dorian Capital where her parents were currently. Then there are Milleia's and Jayden's towns, which were very far from the capital, so they had no choice but to stay in the dormitory. Well, only family guys like them would rather be in their little house in a godforsaken town than a five-star suit of the academy…

As for me, I was, of course, staying in the dormitory as well.

I mean, aunt Belle didn't have a mansion in the capital and even if she had one, she wouldn't come here. She liked the Falkrona's capital town as she felt at home there. How many men had she rejected for that reason…

There was also a mansion built by my father in the capital of Dorian but no way in hell was I going there! It was Simon and Elona's home now. Just imagine the ambiance with the three of us, urgh. No thanks.

I'd rather be in my five-star suit and enjoy my large bed alone.

[<So you want to be a virgin until the end?>]

'I never said that!'

I cursed Cleenah inwardly and scanned my academy card on the reader. Once the led shone green, the transparent barrier would disappear to let only one person enter.

We arrived at a spacious reception hall and headed to the receptionist there. A young woman smiled at us. She probably recognized Lyra and me but didn't show much expression…except for me, a little pause. Anyway, she was used to seeing famous people like us and she was chosen for her competences, so nothing really surprising.

"We would like to know our rooms."

Lyra shifted to her noble demeanor and asked.

This girl wasn't on her first time.

Few seconds before, she was speaking with Milleia with that grin and now she was elegantly speaking.

The receptionist took our cards and scanned them.

"Room 46 on the fifth floor for lady Milleia, room 78 on the eighth floor for Sir Jayden, room S-11 on the S-1 floor for lady Lyra Kertalir and room S-7 on the S-1 floor for Lord Edward Falkrona."

The receptionist handed a key-card to each of us.

They were the same rooms as in the game. At least for Milleia and Jayden, since I didn't know about Lyra and me, though I expected us to be on the S floor, on one of the highest floors of the building. There were thirty or so floors with a dozen rooms on each floor, the same was so for the S-floors. On

"S?"

As we walked to the elevator, Milliea tilted her head.

"Yes. High-ranking nobles like me and Edward can choose to get a room on the S floor, which is the most securised and lavish floor. The suits there are premium and very furnished. It's like a VIP room in normal hotels if you want."

Lyra replied.

Yeah.

There were only two VIP floors in the building.

The S-1 and S-2 floors have a dozen rooms on each floor. There you could find the VIP, so the highest-ranked nobles of the Kingdom. If you want to see the epitome of arrogance, then go to that floor.

I was included.

I can still remember myself filling out the paper asking for a suit on the S floor. I didn't want to be on the lower floors. No, even now, I don't want to be on the lower floors…

"We are all separated…"

Milleia lowered her head a little sad.

This girl was too sensitive, even more than in the game. I had that impression.

It wasn't good at all.

I liked her kind personality but knowing the next events, she needed to be stronger psychologically.

"Don't worry, Milleia. You can request a S suit if you get a high rank in the exams."

Lyra said with a smile.

"Really?"

Jayden asked me.

"Yeah…get a good rank and you can be next to Lyra and Milleia as long you want."

"I-I don't want this room for that!"

Jayden stuttered.

Once on the elevator, we swiped our card and pressed the fifth floor button first.

"I will accompany Milleia, do the same with Jayden, Edward."

Lyra winked at me as she went out with Milleia.

"Am I a babysitter?"

"He is like a baby, show your pride as a noble."

"It has nothing to do with pride."

"Let's leave Milleia!"

Lyra, seemingly finding that I was indeed right, ignored me.

"Y-Yeah! See you tomorrow Jayden, Edward!"contemporary romance

"See you Milleia!"

Jayden pressed the button for the eighth floor and waved his hand as the automatic doors closed.

There was an uncomfortable silence lingering in the elevator.

I mean we have literally nothing in common and I couldn't act normally with him. He was the Protagonist and one of the main guys would be responsible for my death in the game.

"Are you interested in Milleia?"

"W-What?!"

"In Lyra as well then? Or maybe you prefer a refined girl like Aurora? "

I asked questions about the important topic that would decide the Celesta Kingdom's future. It might be surreal, but the kingdom's future rested on the ability of Jayden to seduce all the heroines.

[<You will become a professional wingman if it continues like that.>]

'Yeah, it's pathetic, but could you stop using that word?'

'I'm really trying hard not to think about it!'

[<You worry too much, Amael. You should enjoy it a little. Isn't that what you wanted?>]

Cleenah said.

'I will enjoy it once I put Jayden on the good route for a 'happy ending'.'

Yeah…once he has all the Heroines, I will be at peace.

Though I said that I had that bitter feeling in my throat.

"N-No...We just met but it's the first time I'm seeing girls that beautiful…so I can't say I'm not interested."

Jayden scratched his neck, a little timidly.

Hm.

So he was interested in them, huh.

It was a good start, since Milleia was also a little interested in Jayden. At least it seemed like that to me.

[<I confirm, she is interested. He is a commoner like her, so she might feel a sense of closeness with him.>]

'Yeah, he is also handsome enough to attract every girl in the academy. That was what I read in his biography of the game on Earth.'

-Dling!

The elevator opened on the eighth floor and we walked in the corridor.

"Room 78, 78…aah! It's here!"

The number 78 was engraved in gold on a wooden door.

-Clank!

Just when Jayden was about to scan his room card, the door of the next room, room number 79, opened.

A girl came out.

Not any ordinary girl, she was my ex-fiancee.

I closed my eyes.

The encounter between Jayden and her should have happened the next day, but whatever.
