Level 99 Villainous Daughter

Theres a girl in a rural elementary school who doesnt have someone else in the same grade as her. The closest thing is a boy two years older than her. He didnt hate her and listened to her stories, and he also teaches her how to study.

He will be her first love.

My situation is the same as that girl, I guess.

What? Whos the girl?

Since I didnt have to interact with many people, I think I am mistaken between affection and love.

So, what are you talking about?

I let Linus, the neighbouring kingdoms spy escaped, and I also used the same route to escape.

When I returned to the academy, I thought with a cool head, and I concluded that I misunderstood my feelings for Patrick.

Right now, Im speaking to him. Im so embarrassed I didnt say the last part. Naturally, it didnt make sense, and he couldnt understand it, so he asked me what Im talking about.

Etto, I told you I wanted to be friends with Patrick.

I muster up my courage to say that, and he replied with a tone of disappointment.

Did you never thought that were already friends?

Eh?

We are friends already.

Combined with his appearance, his answer made him look even cooler.

No, such a person didnt exist. There must have been something behind it, I wont get tricked.

Im not going to attack Remrest, but Ill defend from it if its necessary.

His hometown lies along the border. Im sure the Count Ashbaton territorys utility is immeasurable.

Considering your distrust about other people Will it become a bad influence?

Im ashamed to have to repeat this, I wont take advantage of Yumielas strength. In the first place, I dont want to do that myself, and I know if thats happening, you will run away.

Patrick says as he stares fixedly into my eyes. Even when his face began to turn red a little, he keeps looking at me.

Even if you became Level 1, Ill still stay by your side.

Its okay. I can raise my level from the start again.

Thats not haa.

Patrick sighed heavily.

Is it embarrassing to raise your level again? Well, I can understand if he feels embarrassed.

Right, I want to tell you something. Someone wants to meet and talk to you.

How unusual, its not every day Patrick tried to introduce me to someone. Do they know me?

Right now Im in a good mood, so Ill meet with anyone and lets have a conversation.

Sure, who would you like me meet?

When I asked who I should meet, Patrick seems to have a hard time answering me.

I know you dont want to see him and didnt trust him, but hes reflecting on it

Who? Tell me quickly.

His Highness Edwin.

When I heard the princes name, it suddenly gave me a terrible feeling.

In the school parlour, this is the room that used when the principal summoned me. And now we sat face to face in silence.

The prince doesnt seem to like to start talking. He supposed to speak when hes the one who wanted to meet me, especially when he asked Patrick for help.

So, whats the story?

It was unusual for him not to bite when I asked, when hes ready to answer, he opened his mouth in a determined manner.

Im sorry.

Eh?

Im sorry for my disrespectful behaviour to Miss Yumiela. My assumption was wrong, and my stubbornness also didnt help at all.

My thoughts stopped when I heard his words. He keeps saying his piece even with my confusion.

From the start father already explained to me that theres no way you can be the Demon King. I dare say myself understand what it means.

But I couldnt bring myself to admit what I said was wrong. And all those conversations around me, I only heard things that were convenient for me.

Due to my immaturity, I must have caused trouble for Miss Yumiela. It would have been unpleasant. Im terribly sorry about that.

Theres no anger when I heard Prince Edwins apology, it was just a feeling of resignation that I wasnt a child.

He wasnt the only child; every student in the academy are basically children. Theyre swallowing all those groundless rumours, rejecting those who stand out being conspicuous and the minorities.

Because the class leader dislikes me, everyone just ignores my existence. What I experienced here could also happen in Japanese senior high school.

Why the sudden apology?

I questioned what the reason for the sudden change of mind was.

I listened to Patrick.

Patrick? Why did you mention his name here? Speaking of which, he was also the one who told me the prince want to meet.

Prince Edwin continues to answer my question.

Patrick told me what Miss Yumiela said. Thats your strength is based on efforts that are incomparable to us. Ive been hearing everyday stories about you, and I finally understand that you were an ordinary person.

I was blind to believe that I was making the most effort, but deep down in my heart, I was scared that you werent normal.

I know it sounds like a poor excuse. And how selfish is this, but can you forgive me?

I understand his Highness situation. I was also aware that I lack common sense myself. Please treat me well.

I dont know whether to forgive Prince Edwin or not, and its not that I dont want to get along with him, nor do I want to retaliate. I dont think this will change my behaviour in particular.

Id like to do something to make up for my mistakes, is there anything that I can do for you? Ill try my best to make it happen.

Then, will you allow me to accompany to the subjugation of the Demon King?

Every time he did something, my peace became distant, so I dont need anything else. If possible, I dont want you to get involved as much as possible.

Ah, just like what Patrick said.

Prince Edwin looks satisfied. What did Patrick tell him?

Your Highness, may I ask a question? What did Patrick have to say about me?

I hope I can ask this much. Im worried to hear it.

He said that Miss Yumiela has no interest in power and fortune, basically a good-natured person with a strong personality and even though you have a bad reputation you didnt give up.

It was way more than I expected. Theres just one thing that worries me.

Basically What do you mean?

Patrick said that Sometimes your mind and behaviour are strange but you are a good person.

I knew it, I shouldnt have said anything. The prince, who felt my gaze, explains.

Im answering your question sincerely

You cant help but be serious in a strange place. Somehow, I found out what Patrick thought about me

When Prince Edwin finished with our discussion, he left the room, passing Principal Ronald who came in.

How was your talk with His Highness?

I thought he was a different person. Its not his body double, right?

When I gave him my honest impression, he gave me a wry smile and said.

Its been a strange year, from the start Prince Edwin was a well-informed and flexible child. Im relieved that he finally opened his eyes.

Well, I can cooperate and help to raise his level, will he managed to take care the Demon King?

I cant help but feel grateful to Patrick for his intervention, and I might be able to spend a decent school life.

However, the other three are still being their usual self.

The other three that being mentioned here would be Alicia and the two capture targets.

It would be good if his Highness could convince them

I did that, but its not working. Alicia-san is stubborn, and the others are blind to her. So, I decided to intervene by forcing Alicia-san, even if she didnt want to level up.

But, Id like to ask is this okay? As long as she didnt die, its fine, right?

That stupid prince, since you apologize, I wanted you to persuade the others. Looking back a little, I feel the same way.

I dont mind with Alicias power levelling since Im the one who suggested it to the principal earlier.

Alicia may be a little bit more reasonable if she learns the fun and joy of leveling up.
