The hero becomes the villainess or not chapter 2 – more friends and school start
This chapter will cover episodes 3-4 for main content but also expand the world and cast beyond the story of my next life as a villainess further.
I will get into that as the chapters go on and add more fate crossover elements as well as well as explain the other crossover characters.

One of the things Shirou liked to do was listen to news of the world from traveling bards and adventurers. But I liked reading romance stories even if they were considered lowbrow. It was when the maid invited me to another party that Shirou wanted to collect information while I wanted to try and make a new friend to share my love of romance books with. He wanted news of the Labyrinth and the part of me that was merging with him wanted to know about it as well. at the party, I eat lots of food and drank lots of tea and on my way, I found a new person in need of help in the form of a white-haired girl. I caught her being bullied and the part of me that wanted to get down and the part of me merging with Shirou decided to save the girl by scaring the bullies.
That lead to me meeting eyes with the new girl and after my bathroom break learning her name was Sophia Ascart. Then soon feeling a familiar aura about her like I should know her. When I ended up taking to her, I soon learned our interest in books aligned and as the party ended, I invited her over to my house to talk all about romance novels.

From splitting my awareness off Katerina's main body in the form of a bird familiar. I learned about a strange spider monster that was known as the nightmare of the labyrinth and said monster escaped and left offspring around the time Katerina was a toddler. People would talk about how this monster was extremely unpredictable and seemed to heal and kill humans on a whim. But before it vanished the monster seemed to be more heroically aligned. It made me wonder if like me this spider may have been a human in its past life. I also started to figure out this world was likely a hub for other reincarnations and some of Katerina's friends had to be reincarnations that had yet to regain their memories. I was only starting to adapt magecraft like Structural Grasp on other humans and start to see the layers of who they are. I used to figure out that so far Geordo and Sophia seemed to be from other worlds, but I could be sure how much they knew.
I also in time learned after the nightmare left the labyrinth, she left a power vacuum that ended up being filled by a being called the insect of the abyss. I also learned about strange storm zones that couldn't be reached via normal means and made wonder if Al was in this world and could help me enter said zones. I was sure she likely followed but how had and if they could use the knowledge or magic from her book form was a secret I would need to learn after fully merging with Katerina.

It was a few days later that Sophia came along with another boy that had to be her older brother Nicol. I soon learned that she brother was another one of the winnable heroes in Fortune Lover. But in talking with my minds, we figured out he was the most harmless to Katerina and made friends with her. but through our talks I made her into a truth friend as I accepted her albinism. In time I added Mary to the book club with Sophia and her parents even liked that we pulled the girl out of her shell. I started to see connections between Sophia and my friend Atsuko from my former world but her being here would mean said friend suffered an equally dark fate that I did.
It was over seven years my mind fully merged with Shirou, and I figured out he passed on a massive number of skills on to the new me. I learned our fusion both made me a demigod and gave me the new role of a Campione. It was a role like that of the hero but lacking the one of kind part that was the true hero. I also learned from the role this world had gods that I would have to deal with sooner or later. The final thing I gained was magical skills that nobody else in this world could even grasp onto, magic all about swords with a collection of all kinds of insane legendary swords from all kinds of myths and legends. I was sure all the training and new abilities would make the doom endings pretty much impossible but, also began to figure out if this world needed a Campione my doom endings were the least of its issues.
It was in the day if my birthday ball, I learned the prince I was engaged too pretty much wouldn't break off our engagement but also, he might have been a person like Artoria in his past life. But he seemed to not know of it or want to show that he did know it. besides the changes of maturing to fifteen had in my merging, my hair went from Katerina's brown to Shirou's former auburn. I was sure at least all the boys we bonded with at least saw me as a friend but maybe even more and they could each be reincarnations as well. I knew very soon I would enter the academy the game took place in and meet the very girl that could be the next hero of this world. I also knew I would need to try and gain knowledge of this world as a whole since the school attracted nobles and royals from all over the human side of the world.
As soon as I got to the school, I was brought to my room, and I began to expand it via dimensional magic into a makeshift workshop in the closet. I could only do so much without Al, but this would do for now. I just hoped I could find her here. I knew the protagonist of this game Maria would be here and I would try and make sure she gets with at least my brother but pretty much anything but one of the princes would be best since I didn't want to have to takeover the kingdom by force unless I had to. The other minds and I went over how we changed what would be the game, but I knew political power was what I needed.
It was after the meeting of the minds, i went through the opening ceremony and learned the princess of the elves, Filimøs Harrifenas would be attending school with us. it was after the ceremony I ran into said girl and she looked at me almost like she was seeing through me, it was then I heard BB's voice in my head saying, "I managed to get into the system of this world, and she is the Appraisal skill on you. But since she is I can copy and merge the skill with your Structural Grasp into wisdom." I mentally agreed with her and gained said skill and began to scan the elf girl.

I knew after the opening ceremony I needed to check the students to learn which were reincarnations. But on learning the name of one girl was Katerina Claes, a person I knew was the villainess of an otome game, I needed to scan her to make sure this girl wouldn't be as much as an issue that I feared Hugo to be. But as I scanned her with Appraisal, I got messages saying "warning Campione, danger do not engage." I then saw she had two names and then saw she had a strange skill called Structural Grasp, but as I noticed it the skill then changed into wisdom as she gained ruler of wisdom. Then my scan was blocked. I then asked Katerina while trying to hold in the pee inside me. she started to fill me with that much terror. I then asked the girl, "who or what are you? The Katerina in fortune lover wasn't this strong." She replied "like you I am a reincarnation, but one that merged with another reincarnation halfway into my young life. I gained the ability of a god slayer among other things. Now go ahead and finish your appraisal, I will let you see everything."
I then looked and saw a massive number of titles and skills one only the final boss of ultra hard otome games should have. I saw she had a stat pool that was close to the level even the spider queen from the elf forest. But the pluses on her stats scared me even more. It seemed she could go even higher. She then shut me out and said, "miss elf why don't you join me for tea and snacks." I said "no I have others to meet and decided to go find the reincarnations on the class ledger and just pray she didn't become a problem to me later. But thinking she could be the one to help stop the administrators.

It turned out after my display of power the elf girl got scared, but I knew it was time I would have to meet her and learn the group she latched onto to. I also knew I would need to use wisdom to further scan my friends to see how I knew then and maybe try and find a way to recover their past life memories. But I would do that after eating.
It was when I did get to the tea party, I forgot my wisdom was still on while eating and learned Geordo and Keith were definitely reincarnations as well as I learned my fiancé's former name was Artoria Avalon. Then for my adopted brother I found out he used to be Illya but on checking his skills, they weren't the same as the Illya from my world. it was during meal, I found our Geordo met Maria the protagonist. But due to my tree climbing, the meeting wasn't nearly as impactful. Part of me was starting to worry about the girl and I started to wonder what the difference my Artoria and Artoria Avalon was and wanted to try and reawaken his memories to see if I could form a similar connection that Shirou did. I even worried about it all night.
Then came the first day of class and I learned my brother met her while I was lost in thought, I then knew it would be best to force my brother with her. I knew that could get her to my side and after learning there was a current hero who was the brother of Schlain Zagan Analeit. I knew it would be best to try and get to know both her and Schlain as soon as possible in case something happens to the current hero.
It was in class, I finally ran into Maria and got distracted by her and that gave my teacher a chance to try and embarrass me but doing so made me release a burst of killing intent to make his nearly pass out. It was after class, remembered the rest of my scan of my fiancé and learned he had fire magic active but If gain staff of selection he could do light magic. It was later that day, and I checked my test score to see that I ended up in fifth place overall. It ended up not being long that I finally made it to the student council room and that's the place I had my first meeting with Maria and under the scan I learned she did hold the hero skill. After talking with her, I found out she was a very nice girl that was an expert at making sweets. I knew I could cook very well from the skills I inherited in the merger, but sweets were never among Shirou's cooking area. I then convinced her to make some but as I waited, I found the girl being bullied and released a powerful killing intent that made the girl run in fear. I then tried the cupcakes she made and ended up eating the whole batch. It was after I finished, I learned Maria wasn't a reincarnation at all. But she was happy I enjoyed her snacks.
It was when my brother came to check on me, I went over my memories and found out that I ended up stealing one of my fiancé's romance events. It made me wonder if I may end up winning the girl over to my side as a romance.
