I'm in Love with the Villainess (私の推しは悪役令嬢。)

Welcome to the world of Revolution,

a dating sim set at the Royal Academy,

with three princes to choose from.

But there's only one character I choose and that's

Miss Claire!

I'm in love with you and I don't care who knows it!

Claire François.

The spoiled, bossy, rich girl

who torments the heroine,

until her plans blow up in her face at the end.

That's right,

I'm in love with the villainess.

My name is Rei Oohashi.

I used to work for a small business.

The overtime was constant.

But playing my favorite game at night

helped me de-stress, or so I thought.

How deplorable.

You can't actually expect someone like me

to sit in class with someone like this.

- But then suddenly. - Is this some

ill-conceived attempt at humor?

Lift up your head and face me at once!

Excuse me! Are you listening?

I opened my eyes and there she was.

I told you to stand up!

I refuse to share a desk with a commoner!

You need to learn your place!

Claire? Is that you?

How dare you!

Addressing me by name alone

as though you've earned that right!

- Wait. -Right over there.

- What's happening? -I know.

- Where am I? -That's what I'm saying.

This is just like the game!

Sorry, Miss Claire!

Was that so hard?

You must always remember

the proper way to address your betters.

I will, trust me.

And you remember my name, right?

Are you trying to insult me,

Rae Taylor?

Taylor is the family name of the game's protagonist,

and Rae is the user name I chose.

I seriously might pass out!

If this means what I think it does, then.

Have I been reincarnated in another world?

-I love you. -Huh?

I said I'm in love with you and I don't care who knows it!

Whaa? Wha, Wha, Wha, Whaaa?

Unhand me, you miscreant,

have you gone completely mad?

I don't think so, but I'm crazy in love with you,

if that's what you're asking me.

Ugh, honestly!

Do you think you can curry favor with me?

I'm a noble.

No flowery words of love

will soften my disdain for a mere commoner!

Aw! You're so adorable!

Hmm, sorry! Was that out loud?

Guess I got carried away.

By how ridiculously adorable you are, that is.

What? Who exactly are you, anyway?

Someone you hate.

Isn't that right, Miss Claire?

Yes.

I thought I had made that obvious.

I am a hundred percent okay with that!

In fact, you should keep the bullying coming.

Please! I love it!

You wha...?

What a totally awesome start

to a super fun-filled school year, Miss Claire!

I'll make sure you enjoy every moment with me!

I cannot imagine why you would assume

I'd want to associate with you at all after today!

-Rae? - Oh, my!

How silly of me!

The way you were just staring off into space,

I thought you were part of the décor!

Miss Claire?

What do you want?

I hope you're not expecting an apology.

-That was incredible! -

You've got your minions, but you're so independent,

you pick on your targets yourself!

Way to totally subvert the bully stereotype,

you are so brave.

What are you even talking about?

Did I mention I love you?

'Cause I do.

Oh, no, I thought it was an ugly bug,

but it was just your shoe!

Harder.

I beg your pardon, commoner?

If you have something

you want to say to me, then speak clearl...

I said if you're gonna step on me, then do it harder!

- -Come on.

I could feel you hesitating, show me some muscle!

You've got no reason to hold back on me,

so put your foot where your mouth is!

Huh? Wait, what happened to my book?

Oh, how sad!

Are you so poor

that you can't afford even a single textbook?

I'm so sorry, Miss Claire.

I was too stupid to see what you were trying to do.

Well, it's about time you learned

your lesson, you absolute--

I can't believe you wanted to sit next to me in class

so badly that you hid my textbook to make it happen!

I mean, we're already seat neighbors.

But...I don't mind

scooting closer so that we can share!

Share? You are making zero sense right now!

Honestly, Rae,

I have no idea what goes through your mind.

You just had to start the year provoking people.

I can't say I'm surprised

Miss Claire's coming after you now.

Hmm, I wouldn't say she's coming after me,

it's honestly more like the other way around.

Listen,

as your roommate, I feel I owe you this warning.

Do not get on Miss Claire's bad side this year.

Her family, the house of Francois,

is one of the most prestigious families

in the Bauer Kingdom.

If you upset her,

there's nothing she can't do to get even.

You worry way too much, Misha.

I'm from a ruined noble family.

Trust me, I know how these things work.

I get what you're saying.

But still, I love everything about Miss Claire.

You love that she's a self-serving princess?

How could anyone not fall for that wicked cackle

she does when she's being malicious?

She is my perfect evil queen and I would die for her.

You truly are one twisted individual.

Here's the thing about Claire.

Even though she's a bully, she only takes it so far.

She pushed me down in the hallway

where it was safe.

And she only hid my textbook.

She didn't throw it away.

See what I mean?

Please have faith in us, Miss Claire.

We would be more than happy

to take care of that commoner for you.

Absolutely not.

If I want her to submit to me,

I'm more than capable of making her do it on my own.

Even though everyone wants to do favors for her,

Miss Claire would rather bully others herself!

She's a proud person by nature.

She uses intimidation to hide how fragile she can be.

I could never dislike her

when I understand who she really is.

Maybe it's that complexity

that makes her so irresistible to me!

Uh, how unsurprising.

No one wanted to be your partner?

That seems to happen to you lowly commoners a lo--

Teacher! It's okay.

Miss Claire said she'll be my partner!

No, I did not!

You're so filthy,

I thought you were a pile of mud!

Stop that! No touching!

I'm so cold, Miss Claire,

please warm me up.

Miss Claire,

why is this flower in my spot?

Since it's my very first gift from you,

I'll press it so I can keep it always!

That is a weed, you utter moron!

Don't you think

that maybe

you're being a bit too resilient?

Huh? What do you mean by that?

I mean exactly that! That face!

Why on earth are you smiling throughout my mistreatment?

Mistreatment?

-You mean tough love? -Absolutely not!

Then what would you call all this flirting?

How dare you speak to me in anger, Rae Taylor!

Commoners must keep quiet

and devote themselves to hard labor!
