The Villainess Wants to Marry a Commoner!!

A while after I turned seven years old, when I was practicing cooking at the camp on the mansion’s premises, my father called me to the drawing room, and Sean, the butler, came to pick me up. It seems that they I will meet the newly hired servant that was choses as my exclusive maid. I already had three exclusive maids, including Marie, and I was wondering if I still need another one, but I followed Sean and headed to the drawing room.

The door of the drawing room was open, so I went inside, and a cute girl with orange hair in a ponytail was standing next to my father in brand new maid clothes. Father introduced her while pushing the child’s back toward me.

“Ah Bella, you’re here. Let me introduce you right away. She is Anne, Anne Envi. With an introduction from the Schneiver family, I’m going to hire her as your exclusive maid from today. She’s going to go with you when you enter the academy.”

I wonder if Anne is about 10 or 12 years old. But Anne didn’t match her age. She was bewitching, or rather, she was a girl with a sense of being so sexy that even I, a woman, had a bad heart. Anne smiled at me with a relaxed smile and opened her mouth slowly.

“Nice to meet you. My name is Anne Envi and I will be by your side as the exclusive maid of Isabella-ojousama from today. Thank you very much.”

“Nice to meet you too. I’m Isabella. When I graduate from the academy, I’m going to marry my fiancé Ursch-kun, and go around the world while peddling, so this relationship will last until I’m 18 years old, but I think I’ll be indebted to you until then.”

When I said that, Anne laughed like a flower, and whispered that it would be good to go around the world. The small murmur was not a social greeting, it sounded really envious, so I thought about taking her with me for a moment. Well, not only fun things, but there will be a lot of hardships, so I’ll leave this cute girl behind.

But it’s the first time I’ve met her, but I’ve seen her somewhere before. . . Where was it? ‘Anne Envi’, a girl with orange hair.

Hmm? Orange hair?! Come to think of it, Marieta told me to be careful of girls with orange hair!! Is it her?! Is it her that Marieta was talking about?! But it’s an introduction from the Schneiver family. . . I don’t think Ursch-kun will bring a dangerous person closer to me, so I think she’s a different orange-haired girl from Anne.

I don’t know, so I tried an appraisal.

Title:
[Changeling]

This is that. It’s called ‘Battle Maid’. At the young age of 12 years old, I wonder how this happened and how she trained. Also, the name is doubled. . . What should I do, this child might be a little dangerous. Is the overlapping of this name the same as when Ryan’s name overlapped with the name of Aaron-san, Viscount Hillson? Or is it doubled by an alias of a different factor? Maybe a dual personality?

Wait. . . What?! Did this child have inheritance special skills?! What kind of skills did she have? And the lost ‘Inheritance Special Skill’ has changed to be called [Possession] skill. . . Is the double name because of the [Possession] skill? Does this mean that a girl named Anne is possessing a girl named Mary right now? No, it’s not. If it’s a skill that’s being activated, ‘Activated’ will be displayed in the appraisal result. I don’t know.
Speaking of worrisome, is there a ‘Inheritance Special Skill’ other than the ‘Shard of the Deadly Sin King’? I thought that the Sin King Fragment Skill would not be able to lose the right of inheritance unless you don’t have the evil eye and [Envy] of the same sin king at least, but is there any other way to lose inheritance from the inheritance skills?

Hmm. At the very least, I want to know if Anne’s skill is a ‘fragment of the deadly sin king’ or a ‘succession skill’ other than the deadly sin king. . .

Ah, that’s right. When the fragment of the deadly sin king transformed into ‘the king of the deadly sins’, the target evil eye disappeared! Just like when Chris-sama’s [Ear of the Pride King] turned into [Pride King], my [Pride] turned into [Clairvoyance].

. . . . . [Omitted]}

Wait!! [Envy] is gone?! Instead, [Absolute Replication] is there?! It’s the same with Ursch-kun’s [Absolute Appraisal], but what it the ‘absolute’ of ‘absolute appraisal’?! Is it a sign of confidence and determination?? Like, I’ll do it no matter what!! You’re a cheeky for a skill!! And if [Envy] has disappeared, does that mean that Anne had ’00 of the Envy King’? But why is Anne’s skill not [Absolute Replication] but [Possession]? Is it because each skill they had differently between the [Envy King] and [Envy]?

No, wait. It just happened to be the right timing, and it hasn’t been confirmed whether Anne’s skill was a piece of the envy king. Ursch-kun may know something about it, since she came to our house with the introduction of the Schneiver family. I’ll ask him next time we meet.

By the way, what is the title [Changeling]? For now, before I ask Ursch-kun, I’ll ask her what I can find out for myself.

I went back to the camp with Anne to practice cooking again. Seeing the camp site set up with a tent near a stream on a large site, Anne rolled her eyes.

“Isabella-sama. What the hell are you doing here?”

“I said earlier that I will be peddling around the world, didn’t I? But if that’s the case, I think there are places that don’t even have villages, let alone inns in the middle of the trip. That’s why I’m practicing so that I can even camp alone.”

“Did you set up this tent all by yourself?”

“That’s right. I’m good at setting up tents because my brother threw me into a military training and marching practice of the Beast People’s troops as punishment if I did something bad since I was about 5 years old. I also caught the fish I’m cooking in the stream there.”

Anne, who heard my explanation, was worried for a while and thought about it before opening her mouth.

“If the maid helps with the camp, it won’t be practice, so it’s no good. . . So. . . Shall I blay the role of the bandit who suddenly attacked you?”

I seriously bought the role of a bandit. Certainly, if you want to camp, you need to come up with countermeasures against bandits, demon beasts, monsters, etc., but it’s not something that attacks very often, and I think it’s a little different from attacking a seven-year-old who is practicing camping on their parents’ premises. I don’t think so. Raise one hand to control a cooperative sexy maid in a strange direction.

“. . . No, thank you. Right now, I have to do something about cooking practice rather than interpersonal games.”

“Are you practicing cooking?”

“Yes, for some reason, everything I cook becomes a very delicious sludge.”

I have cooking skills, so there is no problem with the taste. It’s very delicious. There is no problem with cutting and washing. But for some reason, the finished form is sludge. It’s like a curse, even if it’s a salad, it becomes sludge.

When I showed her the dish of sludge I made earlier, Anne averted her eyes while hiding her mouth with her hands.

“Well. . . but you can eat it right?”

“If you don’t care about the appearance, you can eat it. Do you want to try it?”

Saying that, when I put the sludge in a mug, stuck a wooden spoon in it and gave it to her, Anne was afraid to pick up the spoon. She carried the sludge to her mouth with an anxious expression, but her expression suddenly became brighter.

“Isabella-sama, this is very delicious!! The rich taste of milk and cheese and the aroma of spices spreads in your mouth. Even though the taste is strong and rich, the aftertaste is refreshing.”

“Right? It looks like sludge, but the taste is delicious, isn’t it? You can’t say anything about the taste like moderately burnt cheese, right? But it looks like sludge and it’s creepy, isn’t it? I want to do something about this look.”

“That’s right. It looks a little creepy, at least if the color is dark gray, it will be easier to eat. By the way, what kind of dish was this sludge supposed to be?”

“Stewed beef and tomato in wine.”

“Eh?”

“Stewed beef and tomato in wine.”

“. . . . . . What about milk and cheese?”

“It’s a problem because I didn’t use it at all. No matter what ingredients I use, it becomes a tremendously delicious sludge with a completely different taste. It’s creepy, isn’t it?”

Does this mean that Anne took over Mary’s body? And would Mary also be in Anne’s body or is she dead? Or since it says she is a changeling, does that mean that Anne’s body just changed to look like Mary? Or is it all the other way around and the person is really Mary taking over Anne? And was she really sent by the Schneiver family? And why can’t Isabella make normal food? I have so many questions!

I am looking ahead of time to find the next novel to translate so that I can take my time finding the right one. If anyone has any recommendations for Japanese shoujo fantasy novels to be picked up or started from the beginning, please leave your suggestions in the comments.

I hope you enjoyed this chapter and thank you for reading!
