Chapter 1

## The World of An Otome Game

This is the first chapter of the manga adaptation for *I'm in Love with the Villainess Wiki* series.

## Summary

A romantic adventure game,"Revolution".

Set in a Royal Academy, the player gets to enjoy their time with three wonderful princes.

It really is a great otome game.

But, in that world,

the one that I loved the most was...

The Villainess, Claire François.

Rei Taylor and Misha Ortho are introduced to the readers.  A few days ago after Oohashi Rei finishes another long depressing shift from work, she plays otome games as part of her routine-- but before she knew it she gets awoken by Claire François. Upon seeing Claire, she immediately confesses her love to her, much to Claire's disbelief.

Back from the present, Misha comments that Rei has changed a lot and gives her an advice. After that Claire begins to bully Rei, but Rei on the other hand rather than being discouraged by Claire's bullying she accepts it delightfully. But one day Claire confronts Rei, commenting that despite all of the awful things she's done to her she still remains the same. Rei rebuttles by saying that all of the "awful things" she's done to her is just Claire's signs of love making Claire frustrated and runs out of the scene.

Next day, Rei tries to shower Claire her love in the morning but Claire responded rather quite harsh causing to create a scene which is when the three princes intervened and got introduced. In the end Claire promises that until the day Rei cries and finally give in, she'll harass, bully and torment her. Rei responds to this quite happily.
Respect for the royalty

* Revolution, a love simulation game, has a romance element.
* Rei reaffirms no interest in the male capture targets.
	+ According to the game route, Rei's plan is to utilize the route that gives her the most time with Claire.
	+ This would be Sein's route.
* Rod begins paying more attention to Rei.
	+ A flag to capture Rod includes excellent results on the test.
	+ From then on, Rod will continue to make passes at her.
* Rei shows disinterest to Rod but he characteristically persists.
* The current situation carries two problems:
	+ Attention from Rod somewhat affects Rei's planned Sein route.
	+ If the test results are too good, Sein's favorability decreases.
		- He is weak with people with higher ability than him.
		- Rei remarks that Sein is troublesome to love.
* Yuu seems to be the only person unaffected by the test results.
	+ The test result didn't raise any flags with Yuu.
* It's revealed that, in-game, Misha is always by the heroine to dispense advice.
	+ This always pairs the two with Yuu which is disastrous if the player chooses the Yuu route.
* Rei tries to shut out Rod by declaring more of her love to Claire.
	+ Misha apologizes on Rei's behalf.
	+ Claire demonstrates her principles by asking Rod to reprimand Rei for her disrespect.
	+ Rod is not offended as he holds the student position in priority to his nobility.
		- Rod, the first prince, also asserts himself as the future king.
		- For Claire's sake, Rei decides not to point out that Rod isn't guaranteed to be king.
	+ Although Claire's concerns were overlooked, Rei finds it pleasing and within her character.
		- Rei recognizes Claire's frustration and validates her.
		- Claire is surprised by the support but states that she does not see Rei at her level.
* Rei closes with, "Today as well, Claire-sama is cute."

Matthew Jones

Matthew Jones est personnage principal de Wanted Gang. D'abord tueur à gages à son compte, il rejoindra le gang de Leon Frey.

## Personnalité

### Caractère

Matthew semble pragmatique, n'accorde pas facilement sa confiance et reste particulièrement sérieux.

### Connaissance

Grâce à son passé avec le Cyclope, Matthew semble connaître certains éléments concernant les tueurs à gages ou les mercenaires. Cependant, il n'a pas l'air très informé pour ce qui est des gangs qu'il rencontre. Il dit pourtant avoir déjà eu affaire à des mafieux.

### Compétences

Matthew est un sniper qui sait utiliser des armes à feu, telles que des pistolets. Dans les livres, il ne manie qu'une fois des armes blanches et ne semble pas être familier avec elles. Matthew semble aussi plus efficace lorsqu'il utilise un fusil de précision, car il ne rate que rarement sa cible en tant que sniper.

## Historique

### Pendant la collaboration avec le Cyclope

Matthew a fait équipe pendant un temps avec le Cylope, un autre tueur à gages, anciennement braconnier. On ne sait pas combien de temps a duré cette collaboration, mais elle s'est terminée car le Cyclope tuait les personnes mises à prix même s'il devait les capturer vivantes.

### Après la collaboration avec le Cyclope

Après la fin de la collaboration, le Cyclope n'a eu de cesse de voler les contrats que Matthew voulait remplir, probablement pour se venger. Cela semblait amuser l'ancien braconnier. Matthew était désireux de lui échapper, ce qu'il ne put pas faire. C'est alors qu'une porte de sortie s'ouvre à lui, un nouveau business, en rejoignant un gang.
