I was reincarnated as a villainous aristocrat with a certain death route.

"......, and that's how I became friends with Mars.”

　After school was over and we got back to my house, I told Kisara about my day.

“Well, Master Raven has a friend!　I'm so happy!'

　Kisara was very happy.

“I was worried ...... that Raven wouldn't have any friends.'

"Is that so?"

"Oh, no, I don't care about the old Raven, but I wouldn't be surprised if the new Raven could make friends, hehehe."

　You're disrespecting the old Raven - in short, the 'villain' Raven before my awareness grew, Kisara .......

　Well, that's not too much to say.

　The original Raven was arrogant and ruthless.

　He is not the type to make friends.

　He is a tyrant who uses his power and talent to silence those around him and make them follow him.

　The game's protagonist, Mars, rebelled against such a Raven and eventually antagonized him.

　I, of course, will not go down that road.

"I hope your school life will be fun.'

Ah. I have Mars, and of course Kisara."

'What, wow, me? ......!”

　Kisara rolled her eyes in surprise.

"I'm glad to be attending the academy with you, Kisara."

"Oh, ......!”

　She rolled her eyes more and more.

I'm honored...... ...”

　She mumbled in a quiet voice.

　The fox ears twitched restlessly.

“Kisara ......?”

'I am also happy to attend school with ...... Raven-sama,.......”

　She said and smiled wryly.

　I held my breath for a moment at the cuteness of it.

　After all, she is cute.

　　　　※

"～～～～～～!”

　After parting with Raven, Kisara returned to her room and nuzzled her face into her pillow.

{I'm happy to go to school with you, Kisara.}

　I keep repeating Raven's words from earlier in my mind.

　Over and over again.

'Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...'

　I naturally smiled.

　I couldn't blatantly grin in front of Raven, so I held it back all the way until I was alone.

　There is no need to be shy in my own room.

　I had been clearly aware of my love for him for almost a year.

　Yes, he changed his heart (?). I have been in love with him since he changed his mind and started practicing magic.

　Until then, he had not liked Raven, who was arrogant, violent, and always abusive to others.

　He never raised his hand at me, or harassed me in any way, but he was just plain cold.

　It was as if I was dealing with an entity that could explode at any moment, and I was terrified every day.

　But one day, Raven changed.

　Raven was truly a different person.

　Since then, he has been stoic in order to improve his own strength, and he has become kind to others, including his servants.

　As I continued to observe his dedication to his training and his gentle nature up close, my dislike and fear of him changed to liking and respect.

　And it didn't take long for those feelings to turn into love.

(I love ...... Master Raven)

　Of course, I am aware of the difference in status.

　It was a feeling that I could never reveal.

　It was a feeling I kept to myself.

　In the first place, he has a fiancée.

　There was no room for me to intervene.

　But still...

“For now,......, just for now, I will be by his side,......."
