## Synopsis

In his previous life in modern-day Japan, he was Kenzaburou Tondabayashi, a 52-year-old civil servant—and now he's the villainess! Reborn as Grace Auvergne, the drill-haired villainess of an otome game his daughter used to play, Kenzaburou is quite confused.

From the little information he possesses, Kenzaburou knows he should be a haughty noble girl, but the disciplined older man is simply unable to act in such a manner. His calm and kind aura leads him to befriend the heroine and further endear him to the student body as the pinnacle of elegance. As he tries to keep the story on track, Kenzaburou will have to draw on his years of experience in the workforce, his perfect Japanese manners, and his family-oriented morals to fit in with the fellow kids.

Kenzaburou Tondabayashi is a 52-year-old civil servant. He lived a fulfilling life, balancing his daily work with his nerdy hobbies and building a good family with his wife and daughter who are as nerdy as himself. At the end of the saved memory, I noticed that I was the daughter of the Duke of another world, Grace Auverne (15 years old).

I understand that I was reincarnated in another world, and that Grace, who was reincarnated, is the villainous daughter of the otome game "Magical Gakuen Love & Beast" that my daughter was playing, but Kensaburo has no knowledge of the game content. Plays the role of a villain daughter in her own way and tries to maintain a relationship between the game hero and the target of capture, but since he is in contact with the natural taste of the person and the parent's perspective unique to the uncle, a game that should be disliked originally The main character of the game, Anna Doll, has come to love her, and the good-looking guys who are the target of the game (although Kensaburo doesn't intend to do that) have come to like her.

On the other hand, in Japan, after the accident, Kensaburo was hospitalized without any noticeable trauma but unconsciousness. Kensaburo's daughter, Hinako, who left her mother at the hospital for her hospitalization procedure, discovers a game machine with "Magical Academy Love & Beast" still running in the living room. The game, which accepts almost no operations other than reading the message, including the power supply of the TV, proceeded without permission, and the telop when Grace appeared was "Grace (Kenzaburo)". Convinced that her father's consciousness had entered her in the game from Grace's words and actions in her game, Hinako decided that it was necessary to clear the game to regain her father's consciousness, and this anomaly I will proceed with the game with her mother who accepted the situation easily. And in the "Beast" summoning event, which is a feature of this game, you will be able to interfere in the game for the first time. Hinako inserts her hand into the LCD TV screen according to a mysterious message, and mixes the deformed headed Grace summoned by Grace in the game and two beasts that look exactly like Kensaburo, creating the conflicting attributes of fire and water. The beast of the ancient dragon (Ancient Dragon) is born. Grace = Kensaburo is worried about the huge hands and familiar voices that appeared at the time of summoning, but the game progresses without any way to directly deliver the voices from his wife and children.

* After the memory of Kensaburo, who was the previous life, was restored, he was surprised that his words and actions were different from before, but Kensaburo's words and actions were automatically converted into perfect and elegant things as a duke's daughter. It is interpreted as "growth and calm personality" rather than being suspicious of becoming a different person because "conversion (elegant cheat)" is activated.

### Abilities

Grace Auverne (Kenzaburo Tondabayashi) has descent magic powers. She/he can cast magic spells (fire, Water, etc.) Because of this, she or he studies the flow of this Otome game. The magic of this world is effective by inputting arbitrary effects with a wand on the activated magic team, but Grace can expand the effect and shorten the input time by inputting Chinese characters from Kensaburo's knowledge.

A beast of an ancient dragon born by synthesizing the magical powers of Grace and Kensaburo by Hinako. Normally, each beast should have only one attribute, but it has two attributes, when it has a fire attribute, it has a red body color, and when it has a water attribute, it has a blue body color. It does not accept instructions from Grace Kenzaburo and requires Hinako's operation to switch attributes. Instructions from Grace Kensaburo are not accepted, and it is necessary to operate Hinako to switch different element attributes.

Because of Grace Auverne's charisma was able to be pulled by Kenzaburo Tondabayashi by interpreted as "*growth and calm personality*" rather than being suspicious of becoming a different person because "*elegant conversion* (elegant cheat)" that she activated. For her survival in this world, she/he studies and practices swordsmanship, she/he studies and practices swordsmanship. Her or his swordsmanship is so decent that she or he is able to protect herself in case of a dangerous situation. She has a custom-made Fan wand built for her by Master Valtz, it acts as a medium for her magic.
