I had memories from my previous life. I used to be a really popular girl. My job, being a hostess, also required me to be popular.

Again, maybe it’s my destiny to be popular. Well, I was also popular with a lot of boys in my private life, too. But I digress…

…So, back then, I had three boyfriends.

There was a slight misunderstanding, and all three of them turned into yanderes. At first, I enjoyed it. But when they brandished knives and locked me up, it was no longer a laughing matter.

Oh, right, my brother came to my rescue at the end…

Well, both my brother and I died due to a yandere massacre.

Ahaha~ Hey, brother, your face is scary (LOL).

Then, we reached to the afterlife. The Goddess pitied me, the tragic heroine.

“If you’re so frustrated, why don’t you try to live in an otome game?”

Well, I’m really frustrated that I couldn’t control my men properly.

Oh, yeah, at that time, I blurted everything to the Goddess.

The Goddess, who accompanied me while I was drinking alcohol was a really nice person☆

After listening to my various requests, the Goddess issued me a special cheat code.

“This is called [Yandere Code]!! It’s a cheat that turns all targets into yanderes☆”

Quite frankly, the Goddess must had been drunk as well.

Well, there’s no reason not to play such an interesting game!

—Thus, I was reincarnated!

My past resembled that of the otome game’s heroine. I was born in poverty, but… My mother in this lifetime was a very nice person. Furthermore, I was adopted by the Yattermen family and always had enough to eat, so I was grateful for that. Regardless of the original storyline, I still intended to marry into money to ensure a comfortable life for my mother.

Until that point, I was still carefully considering who I should settle down with…

…But then, the villainess, Lumiere, said ‘kyururun’ and triggered the reverse harem route, which shocks me even now.

Okay, so do you guys understand that we’re currently in the world of an otome game now?

Perhaps, the concept of a [game] was difficult to comprehend. Well, please think of it as a world inside a story woven by someone somewhere. Could that someone somewhere be the Goddess? Apparently, it was a bit different… But that had nothing to do with the present, so I just omitted it!

What I wanted to say was, my brother and I—oh, right… My brother was Silver. Yeah, we were both the so-called reincarnators. In all honesty, I knew next to nothing about this game. After all, I never had any interest in otome games before. So, my knowledge about this world only extended to the synopsis that the Goddess told me.

Yes, that’s right, older brother Bruno. You can think of the ‘synopsis’ as some kind of prophecy.

So, the prophecy of this world foretold of a beautiful girl who was formerly a commoner, but she suddenly discovered that she was a descendant of the royal family. Thus, she went to attend the aristocratic academy. Afterwards, she’d save the world with the person she bonded with through [True Love] at that school!

—or something like that…

“Where have I heard such a backstory before…?”

Bruno, Irene’s stepbrother, was shaking his head.

Irene scooted closer to him.

“That’s right~ I’m the heroine. Aren’t I adorable?”

Upon seeing Irene’s face up close, Bruno blushed and stammered. “I-I don’t know!”

Irene haughtily pointed at everyone.

“Let me say this—this is my original face! Yes, this is the exact same face I had in my previous life! I’m cute even without game corrections! Don’t underestimate Shibuya’s number one hostess!”

“—Who cares! My face is also the exact same as the one in my previous life! What do you think? My face makes me worthy of being the Ginza’s number one, right?”

—These siblings are TOO similar…

Silver was always proud of how he looked. He did mention that it was his face from his previous life… Although, I didn’t really get what they meant by ‘Shibuya’ or ‘Ginza’, nor did I want to know… Nevertheless, I understood that the siblings were similar to each other.

—At first, I felt lost because I didn’t understand the relationship between the two…

I breathed out sigh of relief. It felt like a thorn that had been embedded in my chest had been removed.

I don’t know why.

In the meantime, Irene went on.

“We’re getting sidetracked. As a reincarnator, I was given a special skill by the Goddess. Apparently, if I say, ‘ I want to fall in love with a yandere!’, the [Yandere Code] will be activated.”

Silver mercilessly yanked one of Irene’s twin tails as she continued to speak.

“…Cancel it.”

At his low, husky voice, Irene pouted.

“Eh—!? But my Yandere Revenge plan—…”

“Shut up! How many yandere do you even need!?”

“I mean—”

She spoke, counting on her fingers.

“—As for Lord Bruno, even though he’s my stepbrother, I’m not really into sibling rom-coms. He only reminds me of a certain older brother of mine, which gives me goosebumps.

“—Well, there’s Lord Hielo, but he’s abusive, so no.

“Hmm, I suppose I can go with His Highness Grimwald, but I’m still not sure…

“Ragri is also a no, cause’ he’d raise his hand against a woman.

“Oh, and about His Highness Redmond… Well, I don’t like red hair. So…

“…I’m currently looking for a hidden character!”

“—Cancel it.”

“Eeeeh?”

“Did you forget that I died because all three of your yandere went crazy!? You owe me for that!”

“But you were the one who rushed in and got stabbed…”

“Exactly!!”

Silver exploded, and Irene shrugged her shoulders.

She dropped her head and muttered in a low voice.

“…I’m sorry.”

When she got smacked on the head by her brother, Irene snapped her fingers.

Immediately, all the men except for Silver collapsed. They didn’t lose consciousness, and quickly returned back to their positions.

I rushed to them, only to be stopped by Prince Redmond.

“…I’m all right. My head feels clearer somehow…”

“Your Highness Redmond…”

“Once again, I want to dissolve my engagement with you.”

His voice was serious.

I stood firmly, my expression becoming taut.
