Reincarnated as the Villainess's attendant

It's been almost a month since Zoemi's awakening in this old but new world so strikingly similar to the one he remembered as his original one.

Each day he would go to school and sit through the classes while meditating whenever he got the chance. After school, he would visit the clinic owned by the family of the girl who most likely was Burushi, and try to win her trust or make her slip up and reveal some sort of secret...

...which all of the beforementioned activities did not yield the expected results...

The black-haired boy could feel that the spiritual energy within him was right there and he simply needed to reach out to gain access to it and unlock the star power that was sealed within him – only to be out of his reach without any warning!

It was basically the same with Yuusha. The cautious girl seemed to be open to him but refused to talk privately – that is in her room – or get out with Zoemi.

Without being able to grasp her reasoning, the black-haired boy figured out that both of his problems must have been connected.

The Burushi-like girl must have been too afraid to talk with him until he would regain the power of the stars that would directly counter anything that the filth named Cherro could possibly throw their way.

Even after making such astute – and kind of wrong, or rather very wrong – observation, Zoemi didn't feel any better – if anything the inability to access the power that he was certain was there was beginning to drive him crazy.

Even more, so that he already checked out the entire student roster of his school and was still unable to find Miriette even though he found out most people that he knew from the past timeline.

It was infuriating... but it definitely wasn't something beneath Cherro.

If anything, that sort of petty revenge on someone he thought didn't have any memories of the past timelines definitely wasn't above that filth's code of honor – if he even had one to begin with, which was very doubtful.

"Kiddo! Aren't you going to be late?"

"..."

Zoemi's father called him from the kitchen making the boy breathe in angrily and slowly open his eyes.

He wasn't sleeping but meditating, and once again the control over the spiritual energy circulating through his body had slipped away from him when he could almost taste it!

"No, I won't! Don't you remember that I destroyed the record on the treadmill?"

Zoemi rushed to the bathroom to freshen himself and called back to his father from the hallway in the middle of putting his uniform on.

"Treadmill is treadmill, there are people who don't want their personal best saved there. Anyway, you're in luck, I will be passing by your school anyway so I will give you a..."

"It's okay~! I want to run anyway~!" *WHOOOSH* *SLAM*

The honey-blond-haired man shook his head and was about to give his son some kind of offer but Zoemi refused while passing him like the wind and slamming the door to their house while already outside.

"...damn... Shouldn't we enlist him to some sports meet or something? His speed is already on Olympic level...!"

The man breathed out leaning against the kitchen counter watching through the window as his son overtakes another high schooler – with the exception that his boy was running and the other one was riding on a moped.

"The luckiest sign today will be Capricorn! You will get reach your goal, but watch out to not misunderstand your situation~!"

While the honey-blond-haired man took another sip of his coffee, the TV speaker read the horoscope.

On his run to the school Zoemi had to pass by the clinic, in recent days he would stop by to say hello to Yuusha, but honestly, the girl was almost never there.

This time since he was already late, the black-haired boy wasn't going to bother – but that was where he got surprised.

Because the Burushi-like girl was standing outside the door to the building and perked up the moment she noticed that the fastest moving person on the sidewalk was none other than Zoemi.

"M-mister Kuro...!"

She called out timidly raising her hand when the boy leaned back so much that he almost laid flat on the ground to lose momentum.

"Yuu~!"

"....!"

Zoemi cheered out causing the girl to become flustered all of a sudden.

"Y-you know... I do have tomorrow free and... you know... if you want... we could... I mean... if you want... you definitely earned yourself at least one da... da... da... ate..."

Yuu murmured looking straight down while fidgeting unceasingly, unable to properly put her thoughts into actual words.

"YO! Really?!"

"!!!"

Zoemi cheered out and the next moment he was already right in front of the girl, holding both of her hands with an overjoyed expression.

At least one of his problems was about to get resolved!

"Y-you're okay with that...?! I... I am the older one so... so... I came up with the plan and all... i-if you don't mind we could go to a few nice places..."

The girl tensed up but when she looked up she actually looked really happy about the black-haired boy's enthusiastic reaction.

"Of course! I'd love to!"

|It looks like the problem wasn't on my side but rather she wanted to find a place where we could talk without being watched by Cherro!|

Zoemi cheered out loud while also feeling fantastic on the inside.

He felt so ecstatic that he could not hold it back.

"Yuu~! I am late so I need to go, but I will show up after school is done so we can work out the details~!"

Zoemi laughed leaning down a bit and...

*chuu*

Kissing Yuusha's left hand before dashing away and rushing down the sidewalk.

"SEE YOU, YUU~!"

Zoemi called out one last time waving at the stunned girl whose face was so hot it would not be weird if steam started coming out of it.

"...I... I wanted us to exchange contact info too..."

Yuusha gulped down her saliva while gently touching the spot that got kissed.

"G-geez... if he's like that now, what he will do on our date...~?"

She smiled to herself feeling her face grow even hotter.

"Huh...?"

In time shorter than it would take the car to go from Zoemi's house to his high school the black-haired boy was already by the gate – but judging by the teacher and two girls with the disciplinary committee's armbands standing there with a notebook, it must have been the uniform inspection.

Actually, when Zoemi thought about it, it wasn't anything surprising, the date of the inspection was clearly stated on the school announcement board the past week...

The only surprising thing was that the teacher doing the inspection with the two disciplinary committee girls was the Rokiana-like math teacher when the announcement mentioned the PE teacher...

Nonetheless, Zoemi didn't want to allow himself to get late, and unfortunately, the trio by the gate had already spotted him and one of the girls readied her notebook and a pen – which wasn't ideal considering the time.

Interestingly enough though, the female students were twins. What's more, they looked EXACTLY like Teo and Veo.

And since Zoemi was hyped up about finally getting the Burushi-like girl to trust him enough to share the information she managed to gather, he was feeling kind of playful too.

So as he was about to enter the school grounds, he unbuttoned his vest and the first three buttons of his shirt and basically slid in front of the trio, taking the vest half off and posing.

"???" "?!??!" "!!!" *WHAM* *click*x 20

The teacher was just plain taken aback from surprise, the first twin blushed and stepped back, but the other one did not disappoint Zoemi – in one smooth move, just as if she and Zoemi planned it beforehand, she threw down both the notebook and the pen that she was holding, instead pulled out her smartphone and started taking photos of the cheeky boy as if she was his paparazzi.

"I knew I could count on you~!"

Zoemi laughed and winked at the girl that acted more Teo-like than Teveo herself and then using the utter confusion he rushed into the school, fixing his attire on the go.

He was already in his indoor shoes when the duo by the gate managed to shake off the shock.

Yes, duo, not trio – the girl who literally dropped her duties to take photos was not shocked at all – she was fawning over the said pictures without paying attention to her twin sister or the teacher.

With less than a minute to spare Zoemi dashed up the stairs, passing a third-year female student with a model-like figure.

"Kuro! Stop running in the hallway!"

The girl bearing striking resemblance to Ehmi Gamemi Victureo – with the only difference being her hair and eyes were black instead of crimson red - that he passed called out after him furrowing her brows.

"Miss President, I love you too but I'm running late so let's chat later~!"

"Wh-whaaa...?!"

Zoemi called to her while breaching the last few steps in one leap and disappearing behind the corner robbing himself of the chance of seeing the Ehmi-like girl absolutely losing her composure and hiding her blushing face in her hands.

The boy burst into his class wiggling past the last few classmates that were also threading the line of being late and hurriedly sat down next to the Kierul-like Sato.

"My dude, you're absolutely insane, you know?"

Sato greeted him shaking her head with a large grin.

"I don't know what you are talking about though...?"

The black-haired boy tilted his head innocently and played a fool knowing full well that without leaning dangerously out of the window it was impossible to see the school gate from their class.

"Mhmm, sure. Well, my boy-toy sent me evidence of your disrespectful conduct at the gate, so try that innocent look with someone else~!"

Sato scoffed at him before putting her smartphone triumphantly in his face.

She had a message app opened – someone had sent her the video of Zoemi stopping by the teacher and the twins from the disciplinary committee to have his photos taken.

"..."

"Wh... HEY!"

Instead of paying attention to the video itself Zoemi put his index finger to the screen and scrolled down gaining access to a photo of a packed lunch that Sato prepared for the person she was messaging followed by a lovey-dovey exchange – which of course brought a screech of embarrassment out of Sato's throat as she hurriedly took back and hid her phone.

"Boy-toy, huh... Who do you want to trick? You big softie~!"

"Shut up!"

"QUIET! It's already after the bell!"

Zoemi laughed at his friend, making her hiss at him furiously but then both of them were silenced by the teacher entering the classroom.
