Now, autumn came. Speaking of autumn, it’s the season for cultural festivals. You may be wondering why there is a cultural festival in such a world. Well, it’s a Japanese otome game. So, there will be obviously a cultural festival in this school as well.
In the game, it was an event in which Amy collaborated to organise an exhibition while working with the capture target. This time it looks like the reverse harem route, so it seems that all the capture targets, Amy and the villainess will be exhibiting something.
By the way, at this cultural festival, you can do anything within the bounds of common sense. Also, it seems that it has nothing to do with one’s grades. However, participation is mandatory.
As the independent research gave a huge toll on my spirit and the event that I want to stop at this cultural festival happens in the corridor, so there is no need for me to get involved with Amy’s group this time.
Also, after something like that, even Anastasia wouldn’t probably ask for my help.
Thinking so, I decided to do an Orc meat skewer stall by myself and completed the necessary procedures.
I’m an adventurer. So, hunting an Orc and doing a dismantling show would be fun.
When I was thinking about that, Anastasia called me.
“Hey, Allen” “Yes, what is it?” “Have you decided what you will do at the cultural festival? If not, why don’t you help His Highness again?”
Wow, really? We hadn’t talked much since then, so I thought I wouldn’t get asked anymore, but this was surprising.
“I’m sorry. Actually, I have already submitted an application for an Orc meat skewer stall.” “… Is that so? I’m looking forward to it. Good luck.” “Thank you”
I bow to say that, but the expression, which usually stays frozen, seems to be a little downhearted. Somehow I feel guilty.
“Ah, but if it’s absolutely necessary.” “No, it’s okay. I’ll go eat it because it’s a big deal.” “Yes, thank you.”
Anastasia then turned back and left.
No, but Amy is also suspicious, so it may be better to keep an eye on her.
Thinking so, I decided to act to stop the worst.

Today is three days before the cultural festival, and I have infiltrated the workroom of Anastasia’s group.
It seems the Crown Prince & Co. decided to exhibit about the downtown culture of this country. In short, it looks like they have created a place where Amy can play an active role.
And, just like in the game, the Crown Prince & Co. are making the exhibition in a group, but No matter how you look at it, Anastasia is just moving around. It seems that Amy and the capture targets have decided everything entirely. Anastasia was not given the right to choose and is told to manage the booth.
No matter how much I have to be there for the future’s sake, even I’ll get sick, I think.
And recently, When there are no capture targets, where Amy and Anastasia are alone, Amy becomes sarcastic. Even now, she started her sarcasm again without noticing that I was watching them with 【Concealment】.
“Anastasia-sama, you are still here?” “…” “Because it’s not cute like that, you’re not loved by Karl-sama, you know?” “… Our engagement is not like that. It’s for the country.”
It was good that I was watching it. Apparently, the event started in an unexpected place.
“Eh? But that kind of Karl-sama looks cute, don’t you know? I’m sure, Karl-sama and the citizens understand that a cute queen is more good, don’t you think?”
When I heard that, it felt like the air in this room has cooled. Even though the air was cold, it wasn’t like the weather changed. The air itself was physically cold.
As evidence, cold air is visibly swirling around Anastasia.
“Oh? What’s wrong? It’s no good. Look, the future Queen is smiling.”
With that said, Amy posed with a smile and shook her neck as if to incite Anastasia. Her hands were squeezed and only the index fingers were raised such that the fingertips were placed on her left and right cheeks.
She was doing the so-called cheek and finger flirty pose.
Also, it was scary how Amy’s face was smiling, yet her eyes weren’t.
“Amy, are you insulting me?”
“Noo, Anastasia-sama, you’re scaring me.” (Tl:- Imagine it as if doing it to anger someone.)
I was getting frustrated while watching from the side. Anastasia, who is not yelling at her from this, is great.
However, the conversation in the game was more flowery. It was not a terrible conversation like this.
No doubt, she is trying to anger Anastasia to raise her hand.
It’s a pity that I can’t record this because I don’t have a smartphone, so I keep watching.
Anastasia sighs loudly and begins her sermon, which I don’t know how many times she had told her.
“Listen, this country has a social status system. It can’t be overturned even by the students of the same school. So behave yourself.”
However, Amy argues without hesitation.
“That’s strange because Anastasia-sama and I are both humans. Everyone is equal before God.” “That’s the story before God. I’m just telling you to behave according to your status. To begin with, what do you think you are? Cuddling with men who have fiancées. Don’t do anything that will mislead others!”
Perhaps Anastasia’s patience was running out as her voice gradually becomes louder.
“That’s not the case, I and Karl-sama are friends. Also, Marx, Leo, Oscar, Claude are all-important friends. Don’t blame my friends!” “I’m saying it’s weird. Choose a man without a fiancé!” “I’ll not let an outsider like Anastasia-sama interfere with our friendship!” “What!?”
When the air got colder, the capture targets rushed in after hearing the noise.
“Hey, Anastasia. What the hell are you doing? Weren’t you both preparing things? Didn’t I warn you not to quarrel? Can’t you do that even though you usually say things while making yourself look great?”
“His Highness! That’s, this woman!” “Karl-sama. I only wanted to get along well, but Anastasia-sama was rude to me.” “Hey!”
At Amy’s messed up explanation, Anastasia tried to protest, but the Crown Prince yells at Anastasia.
“Shut up! Shut your impudent mouth now! It’s an order!” “Gu~tsu” “The relationship between me and you is when we are outside. Don’t bring that relationship to the school.” “Under…stood……”
Anastasia then resumed her work with a frozen expression.
****
Then, in the evening, the capture targets went out of the room with Amy. Anastasia, who had been working for a while with a frozen look, left the room with all her belongings. Perhaps she was going to take a break.
I sneak out after that.
And as I walked down the hallway for a while, I saw Amy standing with her back against the wall. There she smiled and said, provoking Anastasia when she passed in front of her.
“What a klutz. How do you feel about your fiancée getting robbed?”
Anastasia’s eyes open widely when she heard those words. Then, with her face bright red, she raised her right hand.
“Fue-cushion”
At that moment, I sneezed as loud as I could after undoing my concealment.
Astonished Anastasia, stopped in her posture without swinging her right hand.
“Oh, Oh? Anastasia-sama? And Amy-sama also? Ah, maybe you were talking? Excuse me!”
When I said that, I ran away from the place in a rush as if I happened to be there.
I stopped Anastasia’s actions with a perfect performance that I think is Oscar-worthy. I got out of the sight in the shadows and activated 【Concealment】 again, then returned secretly and resumed monitoring.
“It seems useless to say anything to you, but remember. Your Highness is the future king of this country. You who do not understand the role of the royal family and the aristocrat is not suitable for him. Don’t approach His Highness. “
Anastasia said so with a frozen look and left without hitting Amy’s cheek.
And Amy, left on that spot, regretfully glares at her back.
“What is the meaning of this? That mob called Allen shouldn’t even appear in extra mode?”
While muttering to herself, Amy also left the place. And shortly after that, the Prince & Co. chased after Amy and passed in front of me.
But what is an extra mode? Does that mean there was a mode I didn’t play?
But there was no such information even on the Wiki…
The content was quite different, but this was the event I was trying to stop.
In the game, Anastasia, who was furious, slapped Amy’s cheek, and surprised by that, Amy crouches down and begins to cry. Then, the Crown Prince and the route’s capture target appears and unilaterally blames Anastasia. And the relationship between Anastasia and the Crown Prince shatters.
Well, it looks like it’s already collapsed.
Now, I remove my concealment when I couldn’t see anyone else.
Also, there is one thing that is clear about this time. As expected, Amy is the same as me.
I can say it definitely this time.
In short, a woman who has played that game has reincarnated as Amy and is trying to follow the game scenarios to capture the reverse harem route.
So that’s it. As a woman, it may be a dream-like situation to get surrounded by handsome men. If I had reincarnated as the main character of a gal game, I might have aimed for the Harem route.
However.
I don’t like it!
It is the destruction of the capital city that is waiting for Amy if she proceeds with the capture targets.
It is not the world of that game, but the reality in which mother, master, senior adventurers, Monica-san and all the peoples who took care of me are living.
