Of All
Things, I Became a Crow: Chapter #84
Translators: Nyx and Ririi Rain
*Rainelle’s POV
However, the heroine did not intend to
let me go. She opened her mouth with twinkling eyes instead,
"---some..."
"...Kkak? (Huh?)"
"Awesome---! Sexy!!"
Uh, huh? Ok? Eh? Huh?
"Whoa... as expected, crows are
sexy... Glossy feathers! Sparkling eyes! Dignified figure!"
As she shouted out like that, her eyes
twinkled. And when I saw her cheeks got red with my own eyes… my mouth, no, my
beak gaped.
"Ah, I don’t know I'll get a
chance to see a crow this close---!! As expected, people need to have dreams!
Wow! I’m so lucky to see a crow so up close---!!"
"..."
"Hahhhh---!! These silky, shiny
feathers! The warmth of the bird's unique body temperature! Unusual purple
eyes! This body type! Yikes---! What a chubby thing! You ate and grew up
well---!!"
The spirits were not moving, either
because they felt no malice or because the heroine's behavior was so absurd.
So am I! Uh? Um? Miss? Excuse me?
"Caaw!! (Hey!!)"
"Hehehehehe---! Okay,
okay---!!"
Aaaaaah! Police!! Here's the culprit!! The bird molester is
here!! Arghhh! Don't rub your cheeks on my body! Don't smell my body while
laughing!!
"Kakk! Caw!! (Stop it!! You crazy
punk!!)"
"Ah! Don't be like that~ I'll
touch around a little more!"
"Kyak! Kkaak!! (No! You
pervert!!)"
After struggling for a while, I was
able to escape from the heroine’s magic(?).
Ahhh... my, my feathers!! OMG! It was neatly organized, but
I have to rearrange it now!
Annoyed at the fact that it had to be arranged
again, I began to pick the feathers with my beak.
"Ahhh... You're so cute when you’re
arranging your feathers---!!"
...If it wasn't for the heroine who
was strangely chirpy on the side, I could have done this more refreshingly.
No, wait! Why is it so different from what I expected?!
Isn’t she the heroine?! Isn’t she the one who possessed the original female
lead?! She may be nice, but in order to win her target, won’t she have to use
all kinds of ways to get rid of the extras or to engage with the target?!
"No, but wait a minute. Why are
you..."
"...Aaaah! You returned to your
human form!! Huhuhu---, such a pity---!!"
A cold sweat ran down my forehead at
the woman's action of putting her hands on the floor and taking a completely
frustrated pose.
Excuse me? It's good that the scene I imagined didn't come
out, but this shocking…?
"...Please explain why you're
doing this
"Oh, yes! First, let's openly and
frankly tell each other why we fell into this world! Miel must have gone, so
there's only the two of us here, right?"
I nodded unconsciously under the
influence of her words. Then the heroine poured tea into her teacup, drank it,
and began to open her mouth,
"Can you believe it? When I woke
up, I possessed the original female lead. Gwynell von Adriana, was it? I
thought I was lucky to have entered a memorable game... How about you?"
"...I see... But before that, I
have a question for you."
"What?"
"That... I'm a crow that I don’t
know if it appeared in background 1 in the original game or not, but, I have
twisted the original story, right? That's why I feel bad, somehow..."
The heroine looked dazed for a bit
while I say that. And then, soon…
“Pu--ha ha ha!”
She let out a very big laugh.
"What! Did you think I was going
to bother you like a possessive person?"
"...There are other reasons, but
yes."
Hearing that, she laughed even louder.
The heroine, who laughed so much until she was barely not rolling on the floor,
wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said,
"Oh, come on... I get it, but!
Ah-ha-ha-ha-ha! Uh-ha-ha! Oh, don't worry about that! I really have no
intention of doing that!"
When she said that, I was relieved for
once. Maybe she’s lying, but she’s
laughing too excitedly to be lying, right? No, I still don't know, so one more!
The most important thing I have to ask!!
"Well, then I'll ask you the most
important thing!"
"Hahaha... who is Rainelle's
favorite character? If it doesn't overlap with mine, I won’t touch him."
"-Do you really mean that?!"
At my words, the heroine started to
laugh like crazy again. I felt the urge to crawl into a hole as I felt
infinitely embarrassed due to her reaction.
"Oop (holding back laughter), let
me guess something. The person Rainelle is interested in is Karmeut, right? The
current emperor."
---! For real?! Is she a mind-reader?!
Seeing my startled gaze, she grabbed
her stomach and laughed hard for a while, then she barely spoke after a while,
"Ah, my stomach, my stomach...
huh, puh huh... it’s obvious if you just think about it for a little. I heard
that you are close to the Emperor to the extent that things are different from
the original, and that you are the next empress? Then the answer is clear.”
"...ah."
"And my target isn't Karmeut. Oh,
how did Rainelle get here?"
"Oh, me? I..."
"Ah, please feel free to speak
casually, speak informally. And since we live a second life here, we should use
our new name, right? So you’re Rainelle, and you can call me Adriana or Aria.
Got it?"
"...Okay, uh. I’ll use
Aria?"
"Crows are cute, pretty, sexy,
cool, dashing, and the most dignified in the universe, so there is no such
thing as a disgrace to be one! How can you speak formally to a humble
butler?!!"
"...Ah, yep..."
...isn't the ‘butler’ expression usually used for cats?
I wanted to say that, but I couldn't
openly make that question with her eyes burning with passion like now.
"Ah! You don't have to force
yourself to tell me how you came here! It might be a painful memory, so I won't
pressure you!"
The woman, no, Aria clenched her
fists. I closed my mouth at her actions.
...this feeling of being swayed is probably because of the
mood, right?
"...But you can't talk to people
in the form of a crow?"
"---Uh, yeah... Of course, it's
true that crows can say one or two basic words when they learn them, but it's
not enough to use for a conversation, right? It's the same here."
"Ahh, that's too bad! It'd be
great if I could hug Rainelle and talk while rubbing you…"
A cold sweat came out naturally at
Aria's behavior of groaning and sighing while holding her head.
---Isn't this the female lead position I was thinking of?!
You can't do that!!
"---Haaah... It's far from the
image of the heroine that I thought..."
"Why?! What’s wrong with this?!
What's wrong with being a bird fanatic!! Do you know how wonderful, beautiful,
cute, lovely, and adorable birds are?! I would have been so happy if I had
possessed a crow like Rainelle!"
"---! The crow is a bird that
symbolizes misfortune and plague here! Do you know how unfortunate this
is?!"
"It's because people here don't
know how intelligent and clever crows are! The black body! Shiny feathers!
Excellent intelligence! And the ability to imitate words when taught! I swear,
crows are the most perfect birds!"
"Don't show your devotion here!
I'm embarrassed because it seems like you're talking about me!"
"Oh my God---!! In that sense,
please change into a crow! I won't hurt you! I’ll just hold you in my arms and
rub your feathers!"
"That's bird harassment! It's
molestation!! How surprised I was earlier!!"
"Ahhhh! Rainelle-nim! Let me hug
that cute body!"
“Birds have hollow bones, so if you
hug too hard, they’ll break!! And you're going to hug me and sniff me!
No!"
"What's wrong with that?! Birds
are so fragrant!! And I don't want to give up my desire even if you say so!"
"It is your personal
thought!!"
"I mean, crows were my dream!
Aaah! Master! Please present your warm heart to this humble butler!!"
"Choosing a butler is my
right!"
"Then I will give you everything
until you choose me!!"
"Ahhhh! What the hell is this!!"
The heroine deviates a long way from my expectation!! Of
course, it’s a relief that Karmeut isn't her target! But I don't think this is
right!!
...After a long quarrel, we finally
managed to calm down. Of course, the heroine, no, Aria barely managed to calm
her excitement. Me? I'm tired and just sipped my tea.
"Okay then... Let's talk
again."
"If Rainelle- nim wants it, I'll
be here for hours!"
"...If you say that, I won't you
turn into a crow, you know? Why don’t you put away that gaze?"
“…Ugh."
"Oh really!! This is too much! If
you keep doing that, I'll never turn into a crow in front of you!!"
"Ahh! I can’t accept that!!"
"It’s my decision. So
what!!"
"I will stop! So please take back
those cruel words!"
"Behave first."
Aria pouted her mouth at my remark,
but she didn't chatter anymore. After setting the mood somehow, I sighed and
opened my mouth,
"Uh... So the point in which I
possessed this body was when Karmeut was attacked by his brother, Luwellin, and
fled into the woods."
"Oh, back then? Oh, I envy you.
So you experience the pre-original story?"
"...I met with Orcs, getting
stoned by Karmeut, and fly 30,000 miles to find herbs and berries. Besides, at
the end of the day, I was hit by a Gnoll's arrow and got a hole in my
wing..."
"No, how dare a dog's head punch
a hole in a bird’s wing!!"
"Karmeut bit all those Gnolls and
killed them."
"As expected of Karmeut! No less
from a target character!! Wow~ So cool!!"
"Ah, but who is Aria's
target?"
"My target? From the moment I saw
the ‘game start’ screen, there was only one man that caught my eye."
Saying that, Aria's eyes were brighter
than when she molested(?) me earlier.
"There has never been a character
that burned my heart as much as Marquis Namuel! Long live the possessing! I can
attack Namuel for real!!"
"Marquis Namuel?"
The name brought up Marquis Namuel’s
figure in my head. A wizard with gray hair and green eyes. He doesn't like
people and doesn't trust people, so I was shocked when he smiled at me. Because
I remember that he only smiled like that while playing the game in the second
half of the attack.
"...Namuel has so many events
that he can be called the main character, right? And yet?"
"That’s why he’s worth it! It's
so heart-throbbing that a man, who doesn't trust people, slowly breaks down the
boundaries!"
"I see."
I have nothing to say because she said
it so passionately.
Hah! Then!!
"You mean, you don’t care about
Karmeut?"
"My favorite character is always
Namuel! I have no intention of looking at other men!"
I was greatly relieved by that
statement.
Whew... it's a relief. In a way, this is the best, right?
We like different people, so we don’t need to compete---!!
As I thought of myself liking Karmeut,
heat rushed to my face. Seeing my expression like that, a strange smile
appeared on Aria's lips.
"Oh my? Your face turns red all
of a sudden? Who did you think of?"
"Oh, no, that, hmmm! No
one?"
"---Well, since you say it's no
one, I'll believe that."
Seeing the smirk on Aria's lips as she
said that made me realize that I had failed to deceive her.
Urghhh! Hey, don't laugh while making that face!!
"That’s a relief, isn’t it? We
like different guys from each other."
I nodded my head, tasting the feeling
of confirmation from those words.
Haa---!! Well, I'm glad I don't have to compete---!!
"---Oh, by the way, Aria
remembers about this game? I played it years ago, so I only remember the
characters and the major things about them."
“Ah, I remember. I played it recently
to see Namuel."
...huh?
I’m feeling a bit nervous!
“I forgot the title of the game
because of the novel-like setting when entering this world of the game and the
behavior of the original heroine’s family who looked at me with pity.”
"Really?! What if you forget
that?!"
"What's the use of a title? The
important thing is that I remember the events of the characters! Based on that,
I will attack Namuel step by step and bring him down!!"
What to say, that’s a really solid
goal
I lost. Oh well, then there’s only one
thing left
I'll have to ask.
"Then do you remember about the
hidden character?"
"Hidden character?"
"That, you know, the assassin
character."
"...Aaah! Sedarun, right?"
Aria thought for a moment, then she
clapped her hands. Fortunately, I asked that.
“Do you know what the conditions are
for that character to appear?”
While saying that, I did not take my
eyes off Aria's mouth.
Please remember! At this point in time when even the threat
of the heroine is gone, the most important thing to pay attention to is the
existence of the assassin!!
