The Reincarnated Thirty-Something Woman’s Otherworldly Reform Life

[Interlude: Another Reincarnator II (Viscountess Rishua's Perspective)]

Translated by: ME

Treat me to a Ko-Fi to give me more motivation!!!

*****

It seemed she had likely died from a sudden change in her condition and reincarnated into the world of Everyone is in Love with You! (Min-Koi), which she had been obsessed with in her previous life.

She hadn't reincarnated as the heroine, a staple of isekai tropes, nor as the villainess, the other key figure.

She had reincarnated as a character who was a mob among mobs, someone whose name didn't even appear.

—Even though I finally reincarnated! With my knowledge, if I were the heroine, I could easily reach a happy ending.

If I were the villainess, surely the standard trope is to avoid death flags and become the heroine myself, or maybe go full throttle with a "Serves you right!" revenge plot, let's freakin' go!?

No, no, no.

Just think about it for a second.

I was fourteen living in modern Japan on Earth. Just a middle schooler. And because I was sickly, I was practically bedridden, so I'm a fourteen-year-old with essentially zero social experience.

Such flashy roles are just too heavy a burden. I don't have a speck or shred of confidence I could pull it off.

If anything, navigating a social world swirling with conspiracy is impossible, and I'm terrified of even living as a noble.

Basically, living in a world with a setting where you can't tell if it's medieval or early modern is a tall order in itself.

The Middle Ages are bad news. In many ways.

A modern person would probably drop dead immediately.

So, I'm glad it's only medieval European-style! Glad to be a nameless young lady! Glad to be a low-ranking noble! And glad we're nouveau riche so I don't have to worry about money!! That's how it is.

(My knowledge of this world is perfect. I'm definitely going to watch this and that with my own eyes, live, from a super special seat~♪)

She had devoured the comic adaptation, the novel adaptation, and the game strategy guides as if licking them clean; of course, she had cleared all target characters in the game. As for her favorite, who knows how many loops she did? She was a hardcore Min-Koi otaku.

Every single event was input into her brain.

She was, literally, a living dictionary of Min-Koi.

Deep down, she was a little disappointed; she would have preferred to be a beautiful girl with blonde hair and blue eyes, like a foreigner.

Looking in the mirror, she had brown hair and brown eyes—neither a beauty nor ugly—an appearance that embodied the unnoticed masses.

(Come to think of it, this face is the face of that young lady often found in the crowds!)

She was still small, but the resemblance was there.

The person who was always there in the crowd when Magnolia messed up.

When Gardinia was admonishing the heroine, and when the heroine was flirting with the capture targets.

She was even at the condemnation scene during the Prince's graduation ceremony.

(Oh, was the Viscount Rishua's daughter a groupie of someone? Just a rubbernecker? She was everywhere!)

She had reincarnated as the daughter of the nouveau riche Viscount Rishua family.

She felt a bit of affinity with that state of being.

...Maybe she was just drawn that way because it was an easy face to draw, though.

Lining up at the very front of various events was exactly the position she desired.

(...Come to think of it, isn't it almost Magnolia's fourth birthday? Has the debut happened yet?)

Magnolia Gilmore.

The second villainess of Min-Koi, the young lady raised in hiding by the Gilmore family.

The daughter of the black-hearted Prime Minister Gerald, one of the capture targets and the Rishua daughter's favorite ("Oshi").

Magnolia was raised shunned by her parents, but when her father Gerald became Prime Minister, he schemed to push her as a candidate for Crown Princess to strengthen ties with the royal family.

He hadn't debuted her as an infant, but under the pretext that she was sickly but had recovered, he would hold a grand debut on her fourth birthday.

「Fawther, wash there a debut for the Gilmore family's young lady wechently?」

She asked Viscount Rishua during mealtime.

Whether they were invited or not, it was the debut of a four-year-old daughter of a great noble. There was no way there wouldn't be rumors.

Her father was sweet on her.

Being spoken to, his face melted into a happy smile.

「Hm? I believe there are no young ladies in the Gilmore family?」

「Eh!? It'sh Lady Magnolia!!」

She was weak with "sa, shi, su, se, so" sounds.

For her, possessing the consciousness of a fourteen-year-old, using baby talk at this point was unbearable.

...Deep down, she thought it was super cringe.

「By Gilmore family, do you mean of the Gilmore territory? Or the Azenda Margrave territory?」

「The Gilmore tewwitowy... It'sh the houshe of Lord Gerald, who is doing the Pwime Minishter work!!」

Viscount Rishua looked at his beloved daughter with a troubled expression.

「Lord Gerald is not the Prime Minister, you know? The Prime Minister is Duke Bristol.」

「Ehhhhhhhhh!?」

(Say whaaaattt!!)

She was surprised. Super surprised.

(What does that mean!? Lord Gerald isn't the Prime Minister? Magnolia Gilmore doesn't exist!?)

「W-What's wrong!?」

「Are you okay!?」

At their daughter's overly shocked reaction, her parents rolled their eyes.

However, she was in a panic herself and had absolutely no leeway to pay attention to her parents.

(Eh? ...Could it be that Magnolia hasn't been born yet? We're supposed to be the same age!!)

Since the topic of the Prince came up the other day and she heard his age, knowing there was a two-year gap, she had assumed she was the same age as Magnolia.

(And what does it mean that Lord Gerald hasn't become Prime Minister? What about the record for the youngest Prime Minister in the Ascald Kingdom!?)

「...What about Lady Gardinia? Lady Gardinia of the Shteizen family!」

「Lady Gardinia is around. She is one year older than you... You know a lot, don't you?」

Her parents nodded as if impressed.

However, it didn't reach her ears; it just passed right through.

(Gardinia is as per normal, the Prince is as per normal... Only the Gilmore family is off? Is it different?)

Why!?

Her scream of the soul (with imaginary blood vomiting) reached no one.

Did my reincarnation cause a distortion?

Or is this a world similar to Min-Koi but different?

Are there other reincarnators avoiding things?

...If he's not the Prime Minister, is Gerald not a capture target?

The daughter of Viscount Rishua felt a disappointment bordering on despair and suspicion for the first time in this world she had finally reincarnated into...

(Ehhh!? Heeey, someone! Answer!! Answer pleeeeease!!!!)

The Magnolia she was searching for was currently entering the entrance of the Azenda Margrave territory, accompanied by the Demon General, the Black Lion of Azenda, a cheerful undercover assassin, and an energetic maid, and was seriously five seconds away from a one-on-one fight with a Giant Ant.

It will be approximately four years until the mob young lady, the daughter of Viscount Rishua, encounters the other reincarnator, Magnolia.
