How many women in the world can act so indifferently in front of me like this?” “....” “I like you very much, Lady.” [ 〈 SYSTEM 〉 Diel Marsotis’s favorability increases by 2%. Diel Marsotis’s current favorability: 11% → 13% ] Oh, stop rising already! There was no point because I wouldn’t be opening Diel’s route anyway! I clenched my fist in frustration, pressing my…- 537.6 K • Ongoing
- ‘...Maybe it’s Diel, who is more dangerous than Allen.’ Opening his route was a different level of risk compared to opening routes for anyone else’s. After a brief contemplation, I pressed the system’s rejection button, and in that instant, the system window appeared before my eyes as if waiting. [ 〈 SYSTEM 〉 Penalty for rejecting the route! Diel Marsotis’s favorability decreases by 3%. Diel Marsotis’s current favorability: 1% → 0%…

- Of course, the chances of finding a brooch that looked rather luxurious in the street shops were low. Nevertheless, I went to check just in case, though I ended up feeling bitter inside because my expectations were too high. Seeing my expression, Marie carefully added her words. “By, by the way, Young Lady! Does it have to be lapis lazuli? In fact, if it’s a gift for Young Master Heron, wouldn’t a silver-toned brooch be better than blue?” “What?” “Well, of course, gemstones that…

- “Young Lady, are you okay?” “I’m fine.” “I’m really sorry. I should’ve acted more considerately, but I gave you the tart for no reason…” I thrust a sweet chocolate cookie into her mouth as she mumbled an apology. Looking at Marie, who blinked her eyes in response to the sudden cookie in her mouth, I smiled and raised the corners of my mouth. “Marie, do you realize that if you apologize one more time, it will be the tenth time?” “Young Lady…” “So, you can…

- He was a man of entitlement and paranoia, driven by the fact that he stuttered. Of course, up until now, Allen had made various efforts in his own way to overcome this sense of entitlement. Accumulating wealth by building the merchant community to prevent others from ignoring him or hiring strong knights to create the Bonn Bairmun Knights, the knight order of the Duchy of Basilic, were examples of his efforts in this regard. Still, even if he did all that, it seemed impossible to erase the dismal goal…

- ‘What, what is this…’ [ 〈 SYSTEM 〉 Penalty for rejecting the route! Allen Basilic’s favorability decreases by 3%. Allen Basilic’s current favorability: 8% → 5% ] The bar displaying his favorability rating before my eyes suddenly dropped. I panicked and thought over the words I had just said to him. ...Did I reject him badly enough, to the extent that it offended him? Ah, no. Don’t think about it. I should just avoid this…

- This game occasionally presented missions to improve your understanding of the characters. Of course, the understanding of the characters wasn’t quantifiable, and there were no penalties for rejecting these missions, so there was no need to do them if one didn’t want to. Nevertheless, based on my experience playing the game so far, it was usually best to accept these missions whenever possible. Having a better understanding of the character was a significant help in achieving the ending with…

- Contrary to Heron’s statement that he was going to inspect the arena where the competition would take place, the caretaker informed me that he wasn’t there today. I couldn’t hide my disappointment, as I had hoped to meet him and give him some green grape tart in hopes of raising his favorability even a little. Marie, who was quick-witted, suggested that I try to change my mood by trying the signature menu at the cafe in the square to lift my spirits. Since I had been thinking about conquering…

- “Yes, I brought some without the chef’s knowledge so that the Young Lady can try some tarts made with the green grapes that were delivered.” Her words, delivered with a casual smile, made me involuntarily break into a smile. “Thank you, Marie.” “You’re welcome. Would you like to eat it at your desk?” “No, I’ll eat it at the table.” At my answer, Marie set the tray down on the table. As I got up from my seat and moved to the sofa, she poured the properly brewed tea into…

- It was a refreshing morning to greet with new hope in hand. After having a simple breakfast with a creamy soup and a salad made with seasonal fruits, I sat down early at my desk. Looking resolutely at the blank white paper placed on it, I soon picked up a pen and organized my thoughts about everything that had happened until now. 1. Penalty for not opening the route for a target character (Vien). (Because the favorability rating was at 0, health decreased. Current health is at…
