I've Been Reincarnated as a Villainess' Older Brother

After all of the day’s classes were over, Cain left the school and returned to his dormitory.

He entered his room, closed the door, put his bag on his desk, and let out a big sigh.

“Yay!”

He pauses a beat after his sigh and strikes a gut punch.

He clenches his fists and pulls back his elbows.

After being kicked out of the table by Cain and the others in the cafeteria, Julien went to the table where Sillylea was sitting and arranged an after-school library date.

Cain and Arruarat clapped Julien on the shoulder and praised him, while Gelatoni and Dindirana gave him a thumbs-up.

By now, Julien and Sillylea should be in the library together.

In a library, you have to be quiet, so even if you don’t get much conversation going, you can say that’s just the way it is in a place like that.

They are probably pretending to be reading a book at a desk just out of sight of Eurphyris and Arruarat and asking how they are doing.

Eurphyris would be watching to make sure that Sillylea would not be neglected.

Arruarat and the others will be watching for Julien’s courage.

For Cain, it would have been enough if Julien and Sillylea had been properly and deeply in love with each other.

It would have been enough if Julien had not become a man with a loose lower half who was fond of women, had a sweet face for everyone, and even took a third queen because he was a lover.

I would not have married Diana to such a man.

If Julien is willing to take a side queen other than Sillylea as a business associate talent, like the second and third wives of Arruarat’s father, that is still fine.

If so, it is because it is better to take useful people from within the country than to take wives from the neighboring country of Rimut Blake.

What Julien wants to do is to develop a new town.

For this purpose, it would be more convenient to get a daughter of a prominent domestic noble than a duchess from a neighboring country. If Gianluca were to study in Rimut Blake and say, “The duchess is to be my brother’s wife,” he might turn her down.

Better yet, he could fill all of Julien’s fiancée slots before Gianluca goes to study abroad.

Either way, it would still be convenient if he and Sillylea got along well with each other and are in love.

“Whatever the case, both Sillylea and Julien care about each other, but they haven’t been able to take the first step.”

Cain took off his uniform and hung it in the closet, then changed into his workout clothes and left the room.

Today is a part-time job cleaning the dormitory bath.

When I opened the entrance to the large public bath with a sign that read [Preparing] and entered, another student from my part-time job had already arrived.

“Yes! Master Cain is with us today!”

“Master Cain, can you go in the bathroom? We’ll do the changing room.” Read the most updated version of this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at Novel Multiverse – “NovelMultiverse dot com”

“Got it. You’ll take care of the changing room.”

The part-time jobs offered by the school are on a rotating duty system to ensure that there is no unfairness.

I helped the librarian, assisted various teachers, cleaned the school grounds, cleaned the dormitories, assisted in the dorm cafeteria, cleaned the dorm bathrooms, etc., etc., etc.

Generally, the work is rotated evenly, but there are some exceptions, such as Maddy, who is often assigned to help in the cafeteria.

Among my part-time colleagues, it was considered lucky to be in the company of Cain when he was assigned to clean the bathrooms.

The reason was simple: he could clean the large bathtub in a blink of an eye with his water magic.

Cain took a deck brush from the tool closet and scrubbed in areas that looked particularly dirty.

He piled up the tubs and chairs on one wall to remove obstacles from the washing area, then stood at the very edge of the entrance to the changing rooms and used his magic to zap the water away.

Once the washing area is clean, he then enters the bathtub carrying a deck brush and scrubs water stains from the edges of the tub.

Since this is another area that I clean every day, I focus on the areas that stand out, and then just scrub the rest lightly.

After getting out of the bathtub, I magically let out a large amount of water again to wash off the dirt I had scrubbed off.

After finishing cleaning the changing rooms, the other students enter the bathroom and arrange the chairs and tubs that Cain had piled up into their original positions.

Cain also waits until all the water that has been used to wash away the dirt has run down the drain, plugs it up, and fills the tub with water using his magic.

Once this was done, all that remained was for the school’s hired workers to heat the bathtub with wood.

“The changing rooms are done, too. All that’s left is to take out the trash, and you can go up for the rest of the year, including Cain.”

“Thank you!”

“Thank you very much.”

Many of the students who are offered part-time jobs are aristocrats, but many of them have an efficiency-oriented mindset. Even if they are in a higher grade or of a higher family rank, it is common for them to take on garbage disposal if they think their room is closer to the waste incinerator.

Students work part-time for various reasons, and it is not always because their parents are poor. Maddy is one of them. She is told that her family is well-off, but she is working part-time with the intention of leaving her family after graduation.

Some students work part-time because they have been issued a sweet ban from home and their allowance has been reduced to avoid eating desserts. That student is pudgy and fat.

After my part-time job was over, I was walking down the hallway, pulling back the sleeves of my rolled-up workout clothes, when I saw Julien and Sillylea walking outside the window.

They seemed to be walking hand in hand, as they had been told to do during lunch break. Rather than holding hands, it looked as if Julien was holding Sillylea’s wrist and leading her away.

Julien’s face was bright red, while Sillylea’s face was downcast, so I could not see her complexion.

Maybe they are holding hands like this because they are embarrassed to hold hands properly, so they grab their wrists and pull back. And maybe they are walking too fast because they are embarrassed.

As I was looking at them, thinking they were smiling, I saw three boys walking mid-stride a little behind them, hiding in the bushes.

They seemed to have noticed Cain watching from the window of the hallway leading to the bathroom, and all three of them smiled toothily and stuck their thumbs up at Cain.
