Revolution: a dating sim that takes place at the Royal Academy,

in which the player can enjoy romantic encounters with three princes.

And my favorite character in this otome game is...

Miss Claire!

Claire François.

The mean-spirited rich girl who torments

the heroine, her rival, but has the tables turned on her in the end.

a villainess.

Episode 1

Rushing Headlong into Life in Another World

I, Oohashi Rei, was an employee at a small business.

I had finished another day of exploitative overtime,

Ugh! Since when did this academy admit such low-born peasants?

and was immersing myself in my preferred video game...

Or so I thought.

Claire

How deplorable. You expect me to sit in class with someone like this?

But...

Open your eyes at once!

This is not funny at all!

Excuse me! Are you listening?!

The next thing I knew, she was right in front of me...

A mere commoner has the nerve to share a desk with me?

Claire François

Know your place!

Claire?

My word! You dare address me by my name alone?!

Huh?

What?!

This is...

just like in the game...

A commoner like you must address me with an honorific title.

Do you remember my name?

Rae Taylor?

Was I really, actually...

reincarnated in another world?!

I love you.

Huh?

I love you, Miss Claire!

Wh-Wh-Wh-Wh-Wh—

What in the world are you saying?!

What do you mean? I'm just saying I love you, that's all.

Hmph! It will do you no good to try to curry favor with me.

I will never be even the slightest bit cordial with a mere commoner!

You're so cute.

Oh, I'm sorry. My real thoughts slipped out.

You hate me, don't you, Miss Claire?

O-Obviously.

And that's okay! Keep the bullying coming!

I welcome it!

Well, I guess this is the start of our super-fun school life, Miss Claire!

Let's enjoy it to the fullest together!

Rae?

That was magnificent!

I love you, Miss Claire!

...arder.

I can't hear you, commoner!

If there's something you want to say, say it clear—

If you're gonna step on me, step harder!

I could tell you were holding back with that stomp!

What reason does someone like you have to hold back?!

Huh? My textbook is gone.

What's the matter?

Are commoners so poor that they can't even afford textbooks?

I'm so sorry. I didn't realize how you felt.

If you had just behaved so nicely from the start—

You wanted to sit closer to me during class so badly that you'd hide my textbook?!

Let's get cozy and look at yours together!

Wha... You are making zero sense!

Honestly, Rae, what are you thinking?

Misha Jur

And right after the school year started, too.

It's no surprise Miss Claire's got her eye on you now.

I wouldn't say she has her eye on me.

More like I was trying to get her eyes on me.

Her family, the house of François,

is one of the most prestigious families in the Bauer Kingdom.

There's nothing she couldn't do to you if she really wanted to.

I come from a ruined noble family. We've been through a lot.

But you know, Misha...

I love Miss Claire.

A self-serving princess like her?

You really are an oddball, aren't you?

Miss Claire may be a bully, but there's a line she'll never cross.

And she only hid my textbook. She didn't throw it away.

Plus...

Miss Claire, please trust us.

We can take care of that commoner for you from now on.

Absolutely not.

I will personally make that commoner submit to me.

Miss Claire only gets her own hands dirty with her bullying.

That unnecessary amount of pride she has,

the way she tries to hide her real fragility behind intimidation...

All those things just make her irresistibly cute to me!

Oh, what's this?

Teacher! Miss Claire says she'll be my partner!

I will not!

You're so filthy, I thought you were a pile of mud!

Eek! Don't touch me!

Miss Claire, please warm me up.

Is this... from you, Miss Claire?

It's my first gift from you!

I'll press it and carry it around with me!

Why would you think to do that?!

Don't you think...

How can you remain so calm throughout all this bullying?!

Bullying? It's out of love, isn't it?

It is not!

What is it, then?!

Why are you the one getting angry at me?!

Commoners should just keep quiet and devote themselves to hard labor!

Adoring you, Miss Claire, is my hard labor!

Nay, it is my service to you!

I can't take any more of this girl!

Miss Claire! You mustn't lose heart!

Perseverance makes one stronger, you know!

Miss Claire?

You sure about this?

I don't want that!

What am I gonna do if Miss Claire stops bullying me, Misha?!

Well...

I guess you should become someone that she can't ignore.

Huh?

That's it!

If I act just like we would in the game,

the highly competitive Miss Claire won't be able to ignore me,

and I'll get to admire her all I want!

Could this relationship be any more win-win?!

It's been almost a week since the school term started.

These days spent playing with Miss Claire are the ultimate bliss!

Miss Claire!

Good day to you, Miss Claire!

Stop right there, commoner!

Don't act so friendly toward her.

You and Miss Claire live in completely different worl—

Oh, sorry. I don't have any business with her flunkies.

Well!

So anyway, good day to you, Miss Claire!

Don't get so full of yourself.

I have nothing to say to you.

Besides, "good day" is what you say when you part ways with someone.

But you still talked to me!

You even corrected my mistake for me!

I love you!

Enough of this!

You've been saying things like that for days now!

Cease your ridiculous jokes!

Leave this academy right now!

You're an eyesore!

I was so uninterested, I completely forgot.

This is an otome game world!

The first prince, Rod Bauer...

First Prince Rod Bauer

Second Prince Thane Bauer

And the third prince, Yu Bauer.

Third Prince Yu Bauer

They're the princes of the Bauer Kingdom, where the game takes place.

What's goin' on here? Something fun?

Let me in on it.

Prince Rod!

There's nothing fun going on at all.

There's just one person here who brings disorder to this academy. That is all.

Are you saying you want to be disorderly with me?

I do not!

Rae Taylor, wasn't it?

She's the highest ranked among this year's new students, right, Misha?

Yes, Prince Yu. She and I attended the same elementary school.

She's definitely not the kinda girl who usually hangs out with nobles.

And her dad's ideas about meritocracy had a pretty hilarious ending, too.

Thane.

C'mon, join us.

Prince Thane...

Miss Claire, why don't you go talk to him?

What?! Wh-Why should I...

Yes, the one Miss Claire has feelings for is Prince Thane.

Right?

Wh-Wh-Wh-What are you talking about?!

Oops... It slipped out...

But she looks so cute when she's all flustered!

I have no interest in Prince Thane whatsoever!

I-I didn't mean...

Looks like you got shot down hard, Thane.

Oh, man! I really blew it!

Prince Thane has always been outshone by his two talented brothers,

and he's super insecure about it. He's a tough guy to deal with.

The Three Princes: Squeeability ♥ Ranking

The Princeliest Prince

The Difficult One

Me, Me, Me

I don't dislike him, though.

What have you done?! How could you tell Prince Thane that—

Let's go apologize, Miss Claire.

Prince Thane is a sensitive guy.

What would a commoner know about anything?!

Whose fault do you think—

Let's go apologize.

I won't stand for this any longer!

If this is how it must be, I'll keep bullying you until you submit to me in tears!

Prepare yourself, Rae Taylor!

I will never give up, no matter what!

Maybe I should dump tea on her?

But boiling liquid would be too...

Miss Claire, why don't you just put that commoner out of your mind?

The more you bully her, the more she likes it.

It's kind of creepy.

No! I will not stop!

Well, our exams are tomorrow.

Oh, don't remind me!

That's it!

Rae Taylor.

Let's see which of us performs better on tomorrow's exams.

If I win, you will leave this academy.

Huh? I don't want to, though.

I mean, there's not really anything in it for me.

And if I leave the academy, I won't be able to play with you.

I don't like your idea of "playing with" me!

Don't use phrases with double meanings like that!

Just agree to this contest with me!

Or does the top-ranked new student intend to run away?!

All right, then. Let's do this.

But if you don't win, you have to do one thing I ask of you.

What? Why must I do that?

Oh, are you running away?

Are you trying to provoke me?

Misha, you will be the witness to this competition.

Is that okay with you, Rae?

Of course!

Then make your vows.

I swear to God!

Culture, history, literature...

General subjects that aren't directly connected to day-to-day life

are where nobles reign supreme!

In other words, I have the overwhelming advantage!

I'm winning these exams!

The exams will now begin!

After all the hours I spent grinding in this game,

I've already experienced this event plenty of times.

For someone as serious about the game as I've been,

these exams are like taking candy from a baby.

It was easy in the game because it was all multiple choice.

Having the skills naturally because you've been doing it all your life helps a lot.

Nobles have a huge advantage here.

Sh-She's too beautiful!

Miss Claire! You never disappoint! I love you!

I want to burn this image into my retinas!

Rae Taylor loses points.

We'll start by assessing your basic magic ability,

Final Exam: Magic Ability

followed by your use of magic tools.

In the basic magic exam,

we will evaluate your attributes as well as your aptitude.

There are four attributes: earth, water, fire, and wind.

In general, one person can possess one attribute.

Aptitude is expressed in five levels:

Exceptional

High

Intermediate

Low

Nonexistent

exceptional, high, intermediate, low, and nonexistent.

Amazing! You've done it again, Miss Claire!

I can't believe you have high aptitude in the fire attribute!

But of course!

My, what a lively group.

I put my hand over it!

Those who have been graded can move on to the magic tool exam.

Prince Rod!

You look like you're having fun, Rod.

Oh, hey, Yu.

Done with your exams?

Yep. Done and dusted.

What about Thane?

Boy, he's in a bad mood.

Apparently he struggled with the general curriculum exam.

Next, Rae Taylor!

Hey, that's...

The girl who was with Misha before.

She moved it?

Fascinating.

Miss Claire!

Rae Taylor, eh?

Oh? It's unusual for you to commit someone's name to your memory.

Yeah.

Are you tired? Shall I massage your shoulders?

And just what do you want at this hour?

After a full day of exams, I'm worn out in both body and soul...

So I came to replenish my energy!

Please give me a goodnight hug!

You're certainly in a good mood, Miss Claire.

Does it look that way to you, Lene?

Yes. Is there something you're looking forward to today?

The results from our recent exams will be announced today.

Oh, dear, commoner!

Yeah, I didn't get a wink of sleep last night.

Oh, you poor thing!

You were so worried you'd lose to me that you couldn't sleep?

Well, I was trying to decide what I'd ask you to do,

and suddenly, it was morning.

That's why?!

I will now announce the results of your exams.

First, the general curriculum exam.

Oh? It's no surprise Yu and I took the top two, but...

Not a bad showing, Rae.

Thank you!

I've done more than just sink all my time into the game.

I put out a doujinshi, too!

It's a villainess story about Miss Claire falling from grace and rising back up!

I needed to understand the game's world and the age it takes place in,

The World of Revolution

so I read all the books on its setting from cover to cover!

Frankly, I'm pretty sure I know more about it than the staff that made it!

Next, the etiquette exam results.

Wait, wh-what?!
