From Bureaucrat to Villainess episode 3 recap
Titled Dad Makes A Pun!, the episode began with a brief view into the Student Council - its members were handpicked for their talents and social standing. They were to be the face of the school before eventually ascending into powerful positions in the kingdom. Grace (Kenzaboro) also noticed that all the heroes/romance options had distinct hairstyles, likely indicating popularity.
Thus, Grace (Kenzaboro) felt that this could dictate who might Anna date later in the story. It was also revealed that Virgile would be the toughest romance option, given his potential ascension to the throne and his habit of attempting to gauge people's usefulness to the kingdom, even his partners. True enough, this is what Virgile did next.
The Prince evaluated Anna and Grace (Kenzaboro) doing the accounts and was highly impressed when the latter solved a discrepancy in the books. But this was out of Grace's (Kenzaboro) character since she always struggled with numbers. Virgile "realized" that she may have been secretly practicing and was even humble about it, thereby skyrocketing her value to the kingdom and as his potential partner.
Next, there was a short action sequence as a sparring session between Auguste and Richard, to determine the strongest prince. After the battle, a special type of bettle stuck to Auguste's back, which Grace (Kenzaboro) removed. Not killing it, Grace (Kenzaboro) used magic to send it to the forest saying that all living things matter, her action leading to Auguste catching feelings.
Moving on, the school's weapons vault was introduced, guided by Richard. Its maintenance was the Council's responsibility and during the tour, Richard made a ton of weapon puns. Grace (Kenzaboro) joined in and Richard acknowledged her as the true "pun master". Here, two new characters were introduced - Lucas Vierge (Virgile's younger brother) and Lambert Balance.
Like Anna, Lambert was born to a poor family and later adopted into nobility. Due to his intelligence and aptitude for magic, he enrolled at the Academy. As the story progressed, Grace (Kenzaboro) encouraged Anna to teach both Lucas and Lambert the proper use of an Abacus. The episode ended with Grace (Kenzaboro) realizing that a villainess wasn't meant to complete romance routes, but hamper the protagonist's journey, thus a rethink was needed.
What to expect from From Bureaucrat to Villainess
episode 4
From Bureaucrat to Villainess episode 4 is set to release a week later and will take the story forward for Grace (Kenzaboro) and Anna. This next one should delve deeper into the Magic aspect of the series. Grace's character has been touted as "gifted at magic", which will be likely be on display when From Bureaucrat to Villainess episode 4 drops.
Moreover, it should also expand on the other Princes possibly, since the previous episode gave viewers a closer look at Virgile, Auguste, and Richard. All in all, Grace's (Kenzaboro) development as the villainess is going down a slightly different route and it will be interesting to see what comes next.
