Chapter 28 (1/2)
Chapter 28 – I fell into a pinch
“How’s ‘Fortune Lover’ going? Did you beat it?”
During a break, my otaku friend A-chan asked me that with a smirk on her face
“I was able to capture the self-important prince, but I still haven’t captured the evil sadistic prince…… The villainess rival’s quite a in the way……”
As I sighed and said so, A-chan’s ser
“Hehe, I’ve already cleared all of it”
“Ehh, you’ve already cleared it all!?”
“Mets, I’ve also cleared all the hidden ones too”
As she said so, I looked ateyes
“As expected of A-chan~, so fast~ I guess there are hidden capture targets after all”
“Yep, after you clear all four capture targets you’ll be able to go on their routes By the way, do you want to knohich characters they are?”
“Wait a minute, stop~~ spoilers are prohibited~~”
I said so and coveredrather sinister
“The hidden characters are~”
“No~ I don’t want to listen~~”
“Katarina-sa Please wake up”
“Mmm~, nooo, I don’t want to listen~”
“Katarina-saet up soon, you’ll be late for classes”
“……Mmm”
When I finally openedthere next to me
“……Anne, ”
“Yes, goodSince you’re awake now, please prepare quickly”
Anne was already brisklyquite yet and I just stared blankly…… I tried to re just up until now……
“Somehow…… I feel like that was a rather important dream……”
“……Dream?”
Anne replied to
“Yeah, the drea just up until now…… For some reason, I feel like it was a really iotten it all~”
“……Is that so…… You did see in your sleep…… But it didn’t sound like anything important……”
“Eh? Was that the case?”
Is that it, was it just ination? What kind of drea so, that must be it
Thinking that it was an iination And so I reached a conclusion, and began preparing to go to school
It’s already been more than half a year since I’ve enrolled in school, and it’s just about to turn from fall to winter
I’ame’s heroine Maria Also, I’ve been able to become friends with students outside the student council as well The field is going well, and I’ the toy snake
I’s
However, the only part I’m troubled about is, that I’m completely clueless about how love between the all-i
No matter how many times I asked Maria if she has anyone that she really likes, she would always reply with “I look up to and ade the issue What’s more, Maria seems to have no self-awareness at all about how popular she is
“I’m sure that all the boys in the student council are head over heels in love with you after being charhtened her with
“That’s definitely impossible Everyone already has someone else that they’re head over heels in love with”
Maria had a very surprised look on her face as she said that
As for these capture targets, other than the heroine Maria who’s si, they shouldn’t have anyone else that they’d be head over heels in love with……
I think Maria really needs to pull herself together, it seea……
Just recently, Maria and Keith also explored this topic together, and Keith had said “the person I’hed as I accidentally overheard the conversation, I think that Maria’s denseness
The capture targets probably have quite a lot of hard work ahead of them, eh……
And so, even though I didn’t kno everyone’s love was progressing, everything else was going really well, and I was having a calm and peaceful school life It suddenly ended
The game’s finally started its movements, eh……
During lunch break on a day that was quite cold, I was heading to the cafeteria with several of my classmates
Usually, I would be together with my friends and stepbrother in the student council, but on that day, everyone else said that they had so else to do and would be there later
Now that I think back on it, so around me seemed to be different that day While the student council me lunch break, but…… Even so, for all of the, it’s never happened before
However, at that ti at all, andabout the lunch menu for the day
And so, without having noticed anything was off, I carefreely arrived at the cafeteria – that’s when it happened
“Katarina Claes I have so important to say to you”
Standing in front of irl of quite high ranking
Before I got engaged to Prince Jared, she had been the strongest candidate…… She was always sodecent at all
However, she also had upturned eyes and thin lips, and had a villainous face similar to me, I had always felt that she was a comrade in looks, but……
The girl’s upturned eyes were turned even further up while she was glaring aton
However, behind this girl, were ten or so other students, and they were all glaring at me just like she was As expected, it seems like just like her, they’re all people that one-sidedly hate me and want to verbally attack me
However…… I feel like I’ve seen this scene somewhere before
“Katarina Claes, today, we shall publicize a nuht here!”
The girl’s voice resounded loudly throughout the cafeteria as she confronted me
There should be athered here at the cafeteria during lunchtime…… If you use such a loud voice…… The usually noisy cafeteria suddenly beca this way
Perhaps she’s noticed this as well, the girl raised her thin lips
During all this, as foron, and just stood there frozen still in confusion
So throwing my toy snake? No, but I haven’t even thrown that at a person yet…… I don’t think it would even be that annoying…… Ora field at the school has been exposed? It’s so made a field at such a venerable school?
And then, without caring about the wayto think about the cause, the girl continued
“You’re a duke’s daughter, and Prince Jared’s fiancee, you’re abusing your authority, and oppressing those of lower status than you! And, you’ve been jealous that Prince Jared and the student council have been on friendly teric, Maria Cauilty of the cri people!!”
“……!?”
At this girl’s lines, I remembered…… I should have seen this somewhere before
This is the event in the game which I’ve seen several times over where Katarina Claes is convicted of her crimes…… In front of all these students, all her criht to her ruin……
And I had always been so vigilant, unbelievable, to suddenly get into such a predicament……
I just dazedly looked at the girls in front of rim faces
However…… I really don’t understand at all…… Indeed, no ets condemned for her crimes, but……
Originally, when condeets on the student council should have been here as well
If it was the Jared route, Jared should have been here standing next to Maria and protecting her…… If it was the Keith route, Keith should have been here standing next to Maria and protecting her……
Right now, none of them are here……
I was coa me loudly
“It’s no use to just play du evidence, and there’s witnesses as well!”
And so, she opened up a bundle of papers, and gave a sign to the girls that were glaring atnear her
