Chapter 1

A drop fell with a plop.

She looked up. Where could it be coming from? It had started raining outside, and the air was damp. Amidst this, Rabi Heathfen recalled a distant past. She let her fingertips trail along the window frame. Seeing her pitifully thin, bony fingers and dry nails, she laughed.

---

Ah, finally, this moment has come.

She clutched at her chest. Her body was frail, as if it could collapse at any moment. The servitude marks that once heavily restrained Rabi were now gone. Tears fell. Sobs overflowed like a dam breaking, and she desperately tried to swallow them. Finally, she was free.

At the same time, Rabi Heathfen remembered the memories of "her" from a distant past.

***

Before becoming Rabi, she lived in a country called Japan. She lost her parents at a young age and lived alone, standing on her own two feet. She ran tirelessly, working in sales despite not being particularly good at it. Her daily joy was playing otome games. She would come home, excitedly turn on the game, and enjoy it on the sofa without even bothering to take off her makeup. Her memory ends there.

Well, in other words, there must have been some unfortunate accident. She has 16 years of memories as Rabi, so it feels somewhat unreal. The main issue is that the world she is in now is exactly like the otome game she used to play. Not just similar, but exactly the same. The country's name, the settings, everything. Moreover, she even knows some of the characters, and there are even noble girls who harass her. Even the existence of the heroine—

Rabi Heathfen, for instance, is the villainess who harasses the heroine, Nelra Harry, a girl who is like an angel. In other words, Rabi was reborn as the villainess. Regarding this, since she had also dabbled in web novels in her previous life, it's somewhat expected, so while she is surprised, she understands. Still, she can't quite come to terms with it. But there was an even bigger problem.

"Who would have thought the heroine would be such a terrible person...!!"

As a fan who played the game in her previous life, it was a bitter disappointment.

I aim to update this as a side story to the main series, at a leisurely pace.
