Chapter 12: 12
“Alicia, I’m about to head over to the Smiths’ house now, but do you want to come with me? Henry and Al are planning to go too,” Alan-Oniisama says, walking over to me after after taking a break from his sword practice .
The Smith Family… . So that must be Finn-Sama’s house, right?
I really want to see it! Lately I’ve been getting bored since I haven’t been going out at all .
“I’ll come! I’ll go get ready now and be back in a few minutes . ”
I hurry up to my room and change into an appropriate dress for making such an outing .
Although a lot of my wardrobe consists of loud colors and showy dresses since that’s what I preferred before I had regained the memories of my past life, I now like simpler ones best, so I rummage around to find a dress that is a little more modest .
As an 8-year-old choosing to wear a simple dress, doesn’t that show that I have pretty good taste?
It was only for a short time, but I had attended a high school that had connections to the fashion industry so my fashion sense should actually be fairly good .
I pick out a slightly brighter chiffon dress . It’s a lovely amber color and I also put on some amber-colored earrings to match .

Since Alicia has a pretty face, it seems like everything looks nice on her .
Since my hair still isn’t long enough to pull back, there isn’t really anything that I have to do to it to get ready .
The Alicia from the game had often boasted about this straight, silky black hair of hers .
And it’s not like I can’t see why . It’s almost unbelievably silky and smooth!
As a final touch, I tuck the strands of hair on the right side of my face behind my ear and take a final look in the mirror .
Somehow, I don’t really look like an 8-year-old . I actually look quite mature for my age .
How should I put it… . . It’s almost like I’m looking at the spitting image of a villainess .
As I look at myself in the mirror, I can’t help but become entranced by my own reflection . It seems that just by choosing the proper attire, I can look quite wicked .
I guess that means I need to start putting a little more thought and effort into my fashion choices from now on .
“Alicia~”

I hear Alan-Oniisama calling me so I hurry back to the entrance hall .
Then we all get into the carriage and head for the Smith’s family residence .
To be honest though, I have a bit of a problem with carriages . After riding in it for a long time, my butt really starts to hurt .
How I would love to be able to ride a horse instead!
……Speaking of which, I did try to learn horseback riding a while ago… . but it seems that I got bored with it almost immediately and gave up .
But that sensation should be something that has stayed with me, right?
So if I were try riding a horse again now, I would probably be able to manage it one way or another I should think . When we go back home, I’ll have to try practicing horseback riding as well .
But this country sure is beautiful . It seems like no mater where I look, the scenery is as pretty as a picture . Ah, if only they had cameras in this world… .
“Ali? What’s wrong?” Albert-Oniisama asks worriedly after seeing my face .
Hm? I must have let some of my wistfulness leak into my expression just now .

At a time like this, I’m sure a true villainess would be able to come up with a whole slew of nasty remarks that she could reply with .
I wonder if I could say something fierce as well in this situation .
…… . But I can’t think of anything to say . I guess I still have a long way to go on my road to villainy .
So I settle with smiling and throwing out some suitable lie instead . The power of ambiguity and a vague smile sure is convenient .
“Man, you really have changed Ali,” Alan-Oniisama says, staring fixedly in my direction .
“I’ve changed?”
” “Yeah . A lot,” ” Alan-Oniisama and Henry-Oniisama reply, remarkably in sync .
Have I really changed that much? Though I suppose before my past life’s memories had returned, Alicia had been pretty awful .
Even though she is a villainess, she hadn’t been putting in any effort to prepare for her life of villainy .
Was she really able to become a proper villainess with just that? What would have happened if my previous life’s memories hadn’t returned? It’s scary just thinking about it .

Albert-Oniisama looks at me hard with a rather serious expression on his face .
“It might be a little late to be asking this but… why are you suddenly being so…… diligent lately?”
“Diligent?” I say, tilting my head to the side, surprised .
I’m diligent? He thinks that I seem diligent!?
Oh no, what should I do… . . ? Of course, villainesses are always diligent, but that’s beside the point . The important thing is to make sure that no one around you realizes how much effort you are actually putting in .
“I’m not being diligent at all . I’m just doing the bare minimum of what should be done,” I say, and give him a sweet, relaxed smile in hopes of removing all such diligence nonsense from his mind .
Albert-Oniisama seems surprised at my words for a moment, but then he murmurs, “I see… . ” and gives me a gentle, kind smile in return .
T/N: Ah nice . No stalking today! Just a nice family outing to go visit a love interest… . Now that’s what I’m talking about! XD
Though, maybe I’m just a bit sad? I really enjoyed reading everyone’s funny comments about how outrageous the boys have been acting lol .
