I Will Live with Humility and Dependability as My Motto
by Hiyoko no Keeki（ひよこのケーキ）
(Baby Chick Cake)
Translations: Estelion
Proofreading: Readers
妹It was something that happened while I was waiting for the day of the primary school entrance exam. I realised that I had become one of the characters of a shoujo manga that I loved reading in my old life, 『you are my dolce』.
妹The role I was assigned was a character who bullied the commoner protagonist and tried to get in the way of her love with a rich boy nicknamed Emperor; a typical villainess ojousama, Kisshouin Reika.
妹At the end of the story, Reika suffered the Emperor’s retribution and even her family fell into ruin. With the villain gone, the protagonist and the Emperor overcame their trials and became a couple. And they lived happily ever after.
妹Wait, that’s terrible for meee! The manga ended with just that, but I have to continue living my life after my family is ruined!
妹I’m fine with the protagonist having fun with her romance or love or whatever. I’ll erase my presence so that I don’t anger the Emperor.
妹Eh-? The story isn’t progressing well because there’s no villain, you say? But I’m busy saving up money and studying so that I can live well after the collapse.
妹I want to avoid getting involved with the Emperor as much as possible so that I don’t end up ruined. If you two are a destined couple, then please just get together even without facing those trials.
妹In my previous life, I was a complete commoner. Right now I’m an ojousama from a rich family. I can’t forget the taste of junk food, so I’ll sneakily slip out of my house to buy potato chips.

There’s the Class Rep group, which includes his crush, another dude, and one other girl.
Then there are the girls in the fanart on the Table of Contents page.
There’s also the ‘rougher, normal kids’ group from her high school cram school. They aren’t scared of her, and tease her rather. Your typical, slightly punky high school kids.
Finally, there’s Wakaba-chan. So in the end, it could be said that she makes a lot of friends. (:

Ah, well, I was actually going to translate Kenkyo today. I’ve been focusing on Tilea because it’s getting another light novel this month, and volume 2 should be covering all of Arc 2.

Hm, wondering what was it, that took precedence over the epicness of Tilea, I read something pretty random. Almost dropped midway through, since characters were quite nauseous back there. But fluffiness seems rather unique idd.
I also hope, that domineering Reika shall return. The only RPG element of studying is nowhere to be seen lately, and that’s sad too :( Guess, she’s not 16th anymore. Anyway, how can one be such a coward? It’s been nearly a decade, why not just tell the family and person himself, that she doesn’t like him in any way possible, and be done with it already? Desperately trying to make friends with anyone around too…even Ririko might have turned out to be the better best friend, than Sakura x_X Another thing is how MC is such an incredible goody two shoes. Why is it necessary to help out each and every one? Ahh, normal chaotic characters are sure hard to come by :(
Looks like High school is absurdly enormous, going for over 200 chapters :o Hope, it’s closing on the end in original at least. With a magnitude like that, could have made it into High school – Uni – Career – Pension arcs.

Hello! It’s December 25th today and I started reading your translations 2 days ago. I’m sooooooo happy when I saw the mega updates. I love this novel and I love your translation-style even more! It’s so easy and fun to read, the flow of the words are so much better than most. I hope you’ll continue to translate this series until the very end!!! It’s IMPOSSIBLE to get any light novel series in my country…and even less possibility of getting those in english so I’m always so grateful to the translation groups out there. And even more to you since these are all so beautifully translated. I just wanted to tell you that I’m really happy and this made my year -thank you so muuuuuuch!!!

Hiya, thank you very much for translating this. BTW, it looks like a lot of people keep asking whether this is dropped or not. Might I suggest something? Just put the status at the top. Like, “Status: Ongoing” or “Schedule: Irregular Updates (roughly 3-4 per month)” so that people will stop asking.
LikeLike
I could, but then everything I translate is “schedule: irregular” and has been for years so I don’t really see the point.

Does she ever notice that her plan is based on a logical fallacy?
LikeLike
Shh let sleeping dogs lie…
LikeLike
What fallacy is that?
Her plan basically boils down to:
1) Don’t act like the manga Reika.
2) Save money and get educated enough in case things do go wrong.
3) Avoid any involvement with the people who have the power to destroy her family.
Which strikes me as a completely reasonable plan.

I wanted to say that I really appreciate all the work that you put into the translation and all the bonus you give us! I mean by that the images, links and explanations of Japanese customs and food. It makes the reading of this story a lot more enjoyable (I usually Google those things by myself, but it… cuts the flow of the reading, I guess? Do you use that in English?). And playing the YouTube links for each the boys while reading (especially Katsuragi) made me laugh so much. Thank you again!!

Hi! I am a big fan of Reika-sama for a few years now; I must have read the raws 4 or 5 times at least, a tendency accentuated when I have deadlines. I refresh the syosetsu page every day and always read the next chapter(today I was lucky, ch 298 as awesome!). The thing is…I am a translator with some experience – I translated on Baka Tsuki 6 novels a few years back but life got in the way. I want to get back to it and Kenkyou is my obsession ATM. I would like to start from 20 or 30 chapters ahead of you. Would you be OK with that or not really?

Um, probably not. You’re more than welcome to start from chapter 1 though. I’ll link you and stuff.

I honestly love this series :):) I cannot get enough of it!! As far as the pairings go…..it would be really funny if reika stays single for her entire life while all her friends get boyfriends/girlfriends during or after high school. XDXDXD Or she friend-zones the guys unintentionally when they “ask her out”. Or (although impossible) she could always marry her lovable older brother. Hehehehe The power of incest love! Besides if Reika’s brother punches his friend for suggesting reika to marry into his friend’s family, might as well punch all the guys who are attracted to Reika’s weirdness. The mom would be upset and the father would be happy (even if Reika nearly kills/harms him from time to time).

I haven’t been to this site since 2017 when I found out the story went on hiatus. However, I was searching though novel updates and came across this again. I took another look at the author and saw its still on hiatus…
I can’t believe I’ve been waiting for nearly 5 years now for this book to continue, but I guess that shows how good it was to me. Translator thanks so much for your hard work. Your translation is incomparably better than the other translation out there and I hope you one day translate till 299. I wish this story would continue, it’s so clear that there are so many fans both English ones and Japanese. I feel like at this point it’s unlikely the raws will ever continue, but I’m glad that we all got to enjoy 299 chapters of it at least. Stay well everyone. Hopefully the author is ok. You could see that the releases started getting much less frequent towards the final chapters.
