「The eldest daughter of the Earl of Dolknes, Yumiela Dolknes… Level 99. 」 In the Royal Academy’s Great Hall, the teacher who measured the level and everyone in the room lost their words and stared at me. And I realize I must give up my goal not to stand out, and I remember I can reach level 99 because I need to escape from reality. When I was five years old, I remembered my past life memories and realized that I reincarnated as a villain of the otome game. Since I was small, I feel out of place whenever I stare at my reflection in the mirror. I have a doll face. With darker hair and eyes, it seems like absorbing all the light. When I think about my appearance, I recognize the shape of a Japanese Kimono and my understanding of a language I have never heard before. And little by little, I began to remember my memories. Born in Japan in the Heisei era, I was a homebody college student and was probably killed by a car crash on the sidewalk. The 20 years of memory rush through my mind, and my breathing becomes intense, and my palpitation increases. I crouched down unintentionally, closing my eyes and taking a deep breath, and trying to endure until I felt calm. After I felt I was calm enough, strangely, there was little to remember. I only know my name is Yumiela Dolknes, five years old, and a noble. I hardly remember leaving my room, nor do I remember my parents. The maid seems to avoid me and takes care of me minimally, and we have little conversation, and I don’t know the name of the country I live in or the current situation. I don’t have any memory or knowledge, so I looked around my room for information. The furniture and clothes in the room are similar to Medieval Europe. There are no modern appliances like electrical appliances, and the maid called the lamp a devil's tool. It glowed with something akin to littering scales, but the exterior appearance looked like a lantern from a previous life. Based on this, I thought this was a different world, not the Earth, and I began to gather more information. The first thing I did was to be the maid. Up until this time, I rarely talked, but because of this, I became more talkative. The maid seemed surprised, but she answered my questions. The name of the country is the Kingdom of Balshine. I live in the Count of Dolknes' residence, and I’m the eldest daughter. My parents live at the Royal Capital, and they hadn’t returned to the territory since before I was born. My parents shunned me because I had black hair, and they sent me to the territory alone. In this country, black hair is said to be an ill omen and a symbol of evil. By the way, getting information from the maid for this part is very hard. It’s a battle of straightforward questions and indirect answers. Ah, no wonder the servants in the house are unfriendly. My parents, who hate me, are their employers, and I was the quiet black-haired kid who must have looked scary. It's no wonder that when I touch them, they shy away. Now that I knew what was going on, I decided to learn to read. I’ve spoken with the maid, telling them I want to learn to read, and they will arrange a tutor for lessons soon. After I learned how to read, I frequently visit the library in my house. I read all kinds of books, from picture books, history to political books. As a result, I believed this was the Otome game’s world that I played in my previous life. The title of the game is 「The Heroine’s Light Magic」, known as 「Hikayuu」. In a world full of swords and magic, the heroine is a commoner who can use Light Magic and enroll in the Royal Academy. She will cooperate with the capture targets to get stronger and to finally defeat the Demon King. It’s a typical royal story. The story is repeatedly repeated between RPG parts, like defeating the monster with capture target, and the other is trying to raise the intimacy of the capture targets while in the academy. From my name and the country where I live, I can guess what was going to happen. At Hikayuu, I, Yumiela Dolknes, am a villainous daughter. I frequently appear in the Academy part, doing petty harassment and being a minor nuisance to the heroine. As the story advanced, her screen time decreased, and by the time the heroine sets out on a journey to defeat the revived Demon King, the players completely forget about her. But that’s not Yumiela’s end. When the main story ends, there is an extra ending. When they went to the Demon King's castle once more, a hidden boss appeared. The player who saw the hidden boss figure then would say, 「You are the hidden boss! 」 . Yes, the identity of the hidden boss is me, Yumiela Dolknes. And of course, the hidden boss is stronger than the Demon King. I will challenge them the moment their party defeats the Demon King, and almost every player chooses to run away. Even if you used the effective tactic for the Demon King, reducing the dark magic effect with dark magic resistance equipment and light magic. On the other hand, if you went with a physical attack route, you would die from high-level dark magic. Hikayuu is an unusual game where the Otome and RPG parts are balancedEach enemy had their weakness; the key strategy to defeat them is attacking them with their weakness, such as magic, physical, or another attribute However, there is no strategy other than to raise your level to the limit and keep pushing to defeat the hidden boss. It’s something called a balance breaker by the players.. The production staff said, 「After the game finished, I added a little opportunity for the villainess. I made it strong enough that you can’t defeat them unless your level is maxed out because she’s the last boss」 Nd the recommended level to defeat the demon king is about level 70. The reason why she appears as the last boss in the game was, 「Because she hates how the heroine gets along well with capture targets, that hatred then awakened the black magic inside Yumiela」 There’s no profound reason for this, ; it’s just a postscript freebie, and the staff didn’t put much thought into i. In my previous life, I liked grinding, and I cleared the hidden boss. Yumiela, who is equal to 4 levels 99 from the hero party, was not a villainess but something else entirely When I realized I was the balance breaker’s hidden boss, and found out I could use dark magic that could only be used by the enemy characters in the game. I can feel my gamer’s blood rising. I have to raise my level. I started to read magic textbooks in the library and practice how to sense my magical power according to the book’s instructions. 30 minutes later, I was able to use dark magic. I never thought it would be this simple. As I expected, Yumiela has a talent for dark magic. It has nothing to do with her hate for the heroine. The next day, I decided to sneak out of the grounds after breakfast. I needed a spacious place to practice my magic. Last night I told my maid that I wanted to go out, and I found out that my father had forbidden me to leave the house. He seems to want to hide his black-haired daughter. After breakfast, I pretend to go to the library as usual and sneak out of the estate. I can easily climb over the fence surrounding the estate. I have an unusually high physical ability. At level 1, I’m not worthy of the name balance breaker. When I headed out to town, I had prepared a hat to conceal my hair. Since there is no wall around the town, it was easy for me to leave. After I entered the nearby forest, I activated ge-scale magic that I couldn’t test in the library one after another. Engrossed in practicing my magic, I noticed that I was hungry. I was supposed to go home before lunchtime, but when I looked up at the sky, I saw a beautiful sunset. I started to practice my magic at 09:00 and now it is 17:00. I’ve been practicing for 8 hours. If I keep on concentrating, I can use magic on and on. Surprisingly, I won’t run out of magical power. Indeed, the hidden boss won’t be out of magic, but she doesn’t have an inexhaustible supply of magic. If this is the hidden boss’ specs at level 1, I’m afraid it’s going to grow worse. As I hurriedly went home, I needed to start thinking about the future. I jumped over the fence to enter the residence and returned to the library, thinking that it would be impossible to sneak away undiscovered. The prepared lunch went untouched in the library. I couldn’t stand the hunger, so I ate a cold meal in a daze. After I finished eating, the maid came in to bring the dinner and take away the dishes. She looked normal and didn’t have the suspicion that I was sneaking out. Now that I have spent my time in the library, I will need to bring my supplies. Did they think I was here all the time and just happened to be out of the library at lunchtime? At this moment, I was thankful that I didn’t have that much contact with the servants. It allowed me to move more freely, but it also meant I had to be extra careful. With each passing day, the need for a plan grew stronger, and I couldn’t afford to make any mistakes. The next day, I asked them to prepare my lunch bento because I don’t want them to enter the library, and I continue sneaking out of the residence every day. Working hard to defeat the monster on the mountain near the city to raise my level. And I didn’t forget pto prepareclothes to get dirty using the money from selling the monster’s materials. When selling the materials, the merchant strikes a hard bargain, but it can’t be helped when you look at the other side, and they see I’m just a kid. From the age of 7, I started taking lessons in manners and history from my tutor three times a week. The less time I spent leaving the residence, the more I realized the efficiency of raising my level. Before I turn 15 and receive a letter from my father, I will spend my day trying to raise my level. This is the first time in my life that I've gotten a message from my parents. The contents are summarized as follows: 「Go to the Royal Academy. When you are in the Academy, get close and try to cultivate friendships with high-ranking nobles’ sons as much as possible. It doesn’t matter if he’s not an heir; I’ll make him take over my position.」 What do you think of your daughter? I can say I’m not that kind of noble, but if you want me to marry a high-ranking noble, you shouldn’t leave your daughter alone and get her accustomed to high society. I went to the Royal Capital by carriage officially; it was my first time leaving the residence. I have to act curious about my surroundings, even if my heart races with anxiety. Nevertheless, the carriage is slow, shaking, and the ride is uncomfortable. Running is much faster. I find myself longing for the freedom of the open road, where I could explore and discover at my own pace. As the scenery drifts by, I remind myself to absorb every detail, every sound, and every sight, preparing myself for the world that awaits me at the Academy. After being on the road for 2 days, we arrived at the capital. I didn’t visit DDDolknes and chose to the dormitory immediately. Because of that, I don’t even know my parents’ faces. All noble children will attend the Royal Academy for 3 years from the age of 15. Rather than studying, the Academy will focus on fighting abilities related to this country’s origin, It is said that this country was established by a hero and a saint. Therefore, when an emergency happens in this country, it is recommended that the nobles lead the fight. Well, that has been reduced to a formality. It seemed that I had only arrived at the Academy. The next day was the entrance ceremony. When I wear the new uniform and head to the assembly hall, I can feel the random glances people throw at me. Luckily, the manners I learn will help me enough so I don’t become a laughing-stock, my face grew a little harsh, but it wasn’t that bad. A little later, I realized their gazes focused on my head, and I understood it was caused by my black hair. Some people openly showed their disgust, which makes me feel uneasy about my future.. I have no plan to stand out. Despite all of that, I plan to spend my time scheming for the heroine and capturing regress. According to the story, the heroine will defeat the demon king. If they fail, it can’t be helped that I’ll be the one who defeats the demon king in a flash. The Academy entrance ceremony was held without a hitch, and the level measurement began with the introduction of the new students. I didn’t listen and closed my eyes in total darkness. One after another, the new students step forward, put their hands on the magic tool, and measure their level. Generally, their level is in a single digit, but there is only one person who exceeds level 10. I don’t know my level. I never measure my level or anything, since I’m already strong when I was level 1, it’s hard to guess. When my turn came around, I stepped forward. I froze in front of the magic tree, too. At the time of enrolment, the headmaster said in a gentle voice, "Don't be alarmed if you are level 1. Not really When I feel ready to put my hand on the magic tool, in my heart, I wish the tool would function. However, my wish didn’t come true, and that brings us to the situation at the beginning…
