Chapter 3 : Heroine's finally learning how to play

I died again. This time, a random Maid pushed me off a flight of stairs.

Dead end : Error File not fo@\|%ç_'("ù101101

Welcome to@\|1011%ç_'("ù10101

I think I've been rebooting this game so much that the functions are becoming corrupted

It's pretty annoying. But I've recognized a pattern.

Finally.

There seems to be a Rule, in that if I'm making a pursuit on Lilia, she cannot directly cause a dead end for me like she did for the three other love interests.

Fufufu, for the Strongest Rival to have such a weak point, how adorable...

Ah, but, since it's her route, it would be more fitting to have her Butler as the Rival. Yes , it makes sense.

The only thing I have to do now is to get rid of her dear 'Nagito-kun', and she'll be ripe for the picking.

It's going to be sweet indeed. Her CG are really much more beautiful that the other guy's that I've seen on the internet. But yet again, I like flowers, pretty dresses and she does look like a doll~

Now, back to 'Nagito-kun', whatever should I do with him ?

If I try to get rid of him myself, I'll be cut down, either by that pesky boy or by Lilia herself.

She's very protective of him, it seems.

The only times during our conversations that she seemed genuinely interested in were the ones when I mentioned his name after all.

Troublesome, how can I conquer her if her mind's full of that boy?

There must be a way ...

Okay, what do I know so far about him.

Absolutely nothing.

Hm, let's think like a game developer. His butler outfit is obvious, he's Lilia's servant. What about that heavy looking book and the chain , though?

They look like an important plot point, if you ask me.

So, I will go and get some info on it.

"Ah, librarian-sama, I have a question for you !"

It's weird that I can interact with characters without using the triple choice interface, but it's much more immersive that way, I actually like it.

Anyways, back to the old man...

"Ah, first Duchess, what can I do for you today?"

"I had a question. It's about the third duchess' butler. Now I don't want to speak ill of anyone, bu he's been ... Odd, at best. And the way he's been chained to that book is suspicious. What exactly is it anyways ?"

Th old man readjusted his glasses.

"By the looks of it, it is a family grimoire. From an ancient and well off family, might I say. Why he is the lowly servant of a fallen third duchy is beyond me. Without the symbol on its cover though, I can't tell you more."

"Ah, but I have seen the symbol on the cover, though...Do you have something to write ?"

Find this and other great novels on the author's preferred platform. Support original creators!

The old man gave me a pen and paper.

"It was like that, with this, and that."

I had opened the CG window and put it on semi transparency, so that I could draw it exactly. The CG I'm using is the one in which he stabs me, 'Jack of blades' is the name.

The old man sucked in a breath when he saw the symbol.

"Are, are you sure it is this symbol ?"

"Hm ? Yes, I pride myself on my perfect memory for details."

It seems I chanced upon something impressive...

The old man slammed his hand on the paper, crumpling it and setting it on fire, his eyes mad.

"You must tell no one that you saw that symbol. It is... It is the symbol ot Oriens' original royal family."

Royal family ?!

"Royal family ?"

"Yes, they were very powerful and very feared mages. They singlehandedly resisted Mana, until they unleashed 'Them' and caused the fall of the last era.To think there was still one of them alive, the implications of this are too large for even you or I to understand..."

Ahhh, so Nagito-kun was a hidden magical prince. And there is an entire country who would want to see him dead... And another who'd want him to become king.

No wonder Eshel died often, he was only an impostor...

Well, That was good information indeed...

I was walking pondering on what I should do next when I heard some muttering.

She looked like some low nobility woman, so I didn't pay attention.

"Alistair, my Alistair, dead, your fault unforgivable!"

I didn't know who Alistair was, but that woman creeped me out.

She grabbed me by my hair, opened the window and threw me through it. I fell to the ground, my bones snapping and my body squelching. My last sight was a thoroughly puzzled looking Lilia. Yes, my theory was exact, she didn't engineer that one death.

Black screen.

=+}#&@\|%ç_'("ù101101

Hm, that became corrupted even more, I should take it to its makers. Ah another game can't hurt.

Loading upgrade. Summoning complete

Welcome to your new life in a heart throbbing kingdom

Well, it looks like the update worked, the text is clear now.

Now that that's taken care off, off to the council, it should be time.

Strange, I can't use the interface to fast answer the test.

Aaah, nevermind, I'll do it manually, more immersion, huh ?

At the end of the first day, I sent a missive to known royalty loyalists in Oriens.

Let's see how it will turn out, shall we ?

----------------------------------------

Finished !

Friggin finished !

I hate you heroine for making me work so much !

Everything's your fault !

And what are you trying to do to Nagito anyways ?!

And she forgot about Alisteir! How could she forget about Alistair !
