Chapter 11

Translated by Momo (Unedited)

Cecilia was guided by Gilbert to the courtyard where Leanne was standing. There was also a young man facing her.

She stared at them, hiding in the shadows.

“Is that Jade?”

“Jade Benjamin. He’s one of the knights, right?”

Jade Benjamin.

Born in a commoner family, this young businessman is completely out of the norm in the aristocratic Wruhel Academy. His father is a famous merchant, and Jade himself helps his father at the family business and also started his own endeavours.

It’s no exaggeration to say that the Benjamin family is running the economy of the Prospere kingdom, and they do business in a wide range of fields. In recognition of their recent achievements, they received the title of Baron from the King last year.

Jade has a calm temper that doesn’t match his reputation as a capable businessman and he exudes an adorable charm like a large dog. All of this made him a fairly popular character in the game.

“Hey, isn’t it a pretty nice atmosphere over there?”

“Indeed.”

At Gilbert’s side, Cecilia nodded and agreed.

Both looked flustered while chatting. They also chose a secluded place to talk, it looks too suspicious.

“Sis, you seemed tired because there were so many things going on lately, so I thought you’d be happy if I told you about this.”

“Gil! Perfectly! You’re the most thoughtful stepbrother!”

“Sure.”

The best thing in the world is a stepbrother who cares about his stepsister.

In order to not waste her brother’s precious effort, Cecilia observed them attentively.

Leanne, wary of the surroundings, took out a note from inside of her uniform and passed it to Jade. Her cheeks blushed and the expression blossoming in her face is just like a maiden in love.

“So, is this an ‘event’?”

“Yeah. This is the fourth event that won’t happen unless you reach a certain rate of affection! It’s the 'exciting diary exchange event’!”

Cecilia said enthusiastically while lowering her voice.

All the 'events’ until the third instance will absolutely happen without any favourable relationship between the characters in the game, but it’s different from the fourth on. This event doesn’t occur unless there is some mutual trust established.

“But for Leanne to achieve Jade’s 'exciting diary exchange event’ so quickly! She must have been aiming at him from the start! That’s good information!”

“Whatever is fine. The name of this 'event’, did you make that up?”

“Ooooh, how did you know?”

“It’s simply outrageous.”

Gilbert released his poisonous tongue with a great smile. It really makes one wonder who was that polite kid talking to Oscar a while ago.

“So what kind of 'event’ is this?”

He resumed the topic by making another question. Cecilia tried to remember the strategy guide to capture the 'targets’.

Leanne and Jade in the game were relatively close since the beginning. Not only they were classmates, but both of them are former commoners so they have a lot of similarities in values ??and thoughts about life.

It was inevitable that the distance between them would shorten at a fast pace.

However, they become so close that other students realized it and started to tease them. Embarrassed by their classmates’ harassment, Leanne distanced herself from Jade.

She was a very innocent maiden and ideas about romance haven’t even begun to sprout inside her head.

Upon that, Jade secretly called Leanne and handed her that note.

“Would you like to create a secret together with me?”

After Jade whispered that while chuckling nervously, Leanne became conscious of him as a possible romantic partner for the first time.

Then the secret messages exchange between the two began.

“Jade’s route is a bit based on deduction too, so that note becomes useful later on!”

“Hmm.”

“… Gill doesn’t seem interested in it at all.”

“Well, basically other people’s love relationships don’t really matter to me.”

That’s definitely the thought process of a guy who will never understand dating simulation games.

Despite having such thoughts, he still listened to everything for Cecilia’s sake so she really can’t be thankful enough for it.

After a pleasant conversation, Jade and Leanne left separate ways.

Cecilia came out of the shadows, feeling cheerful but also embarrassed.

“Aaah, I saw something good. For now, let’s use all of our strength to get them together!”

If Leanne is able to obtain at least one 'treasure’ from another knight, then Cecilia would be safe for the time being. That will be their immediate goal.

“We’ll soon be attending the school’s camping experience! We must make sure the event that takes place there will be successful!”

As she inhaled energetically, she found a piece of paper that fell at the place Leanne was standing.

Cecilia walked there and picked up the paper.

It was the page of a notebook.

“What is this–WHAT?! ”

“Sis, what did you find?”

“Gil! Don’t come here!”

“What?”

“Don’t come!”

Cecilia checked the contents carefully while stopping Gilbert, who was trying to walk in her direction, by raising her hand.

◆ ◇ ◆

I circled my hands on his back as if trying to confirm his presence.

I can feel his heart pounding. This was already enough to make me tear up with happiness.

“Why are you crying?”

When I heard that, I realized that tears were running down my cheeks.

These passionated, crazy, and tear-inducing feelings flooded my heart– And I realized for the first time that this was 'love’.

I fell in love with him even though he was also a man.

There’s a guilty feeling that can’t be described. But these feelings couldn’t be stopped anymore.

I pushed him down and traced his chin with my thumb.

And then, his lips–

◆ ◇ ◆

“Sis?”

“Wow, oh– whaaaaat? Don’t stand behind me!!”

It was a . It was a BL .

The names of the protagonist and his partner weren’t written, but it was definitely a BL .

And not only that, it was almost an R-rated one.

Cecilia hid the shameful in her back and shook her head desperately.

“Gil is too young to look at this!”

“I don’t understand what you mean with that but…”

“You don’t need to know! This is an 'abyss’! Once you’re hooked, you won’t come out until you die!”

Was Hiyono, Cecilia’s previous incarnation, on 'that side’? The answer is no. She just truly enjoyed all kinds of romantic love stories, including BL, and didn’t have any prejudice or commitment to only one genre.

Actually, the 'abyss’ was introduced to her by her best friend that, no matter in what anime, s or comics, could dig out a loving relationship between two males.

Her friend was rotten* to the core.

And she was a valiant girl that didn’t hide any of her preferences. Bright, energetic and devoted to her desires. She was a very fun person to be around.

In fact, she also had a favourite male/male couple in the 'Wruhel Academy Saint Princess 3’ game.

It’s a romantic dating sim focusing on a female main character but she still pushed for a male/male couple.

Wouldn’t this be considered blasphemy to the official content?

Sometimes Hiyono would have such thoughts, but how to enjoy the gameplay is an individual choice.

“But why would this appear in a place like this …”

Did someone just write this down on a paper and it got blown away by the wind? If so, it’s such bad luck. It’s too dramatic.

(Is there really a person with such a hobby in this world…?)

What an unlucky child to be born into the world of an otome game.

At that time, her friend’s words played back from her memories.

“Since the male characters in an otome game are basically all handsome boys, it’s easy to put them together as a couple. Ahh! I want to be reborn in the world like that! So I can spend a lifetime watching pretty boys together!!”

“Actually, they might be surprisingly lucky.”

Cecilia said it in a nostalgic tone.
