I Favor the Villainess

125. Imperial cage operation

"... derivative works...?

"Yes."

The next night, when the family decided to board the Empire, I was consulting with Master Claire about my plans for the future.

May and Allea are already asleep.

The table in the living room was expanded with the resources (...) fees (...) that I had made available.

"As I explained during the revolution, I have some prior knowledge of what happens in this world."

"That's what you said. I saw something like a prophecy in a previous life, something like that."

"Yes."

It's actually a maiden game, but I told Master Claire so.

"The prophecy is called Revolution, but there was something called Revolution Lily Side in the derivative."

Revolution Lily Side - commonly known as Revolutionary is another work derived from Revolution, a maiden game.

As you can guess from the title, Revolyri is a lily game.

Actually, I was playing this Revolutionary before Revolution.

I was an omnivorous geek of almost anything for games, but I also had my own sexual orientation and I was addicted to lily games.

At the time, there were not so many lily games yet, but it was Levolili who was famous among them as a famous lily game.

"Revolution Lily Side - I'll abbreviate it Revolutionary because it's long, but Revolutionary had information about the Empire. I'm going to take advantage of that."

Revolutionary is one of several derivatives created since Revolution became popular, setting the stage for the Nah Empire.

The protagonist becomes Empire Empress and makes love to Emperors, bureaucrats, school classmates, etc.

Of course, all the key characters are women.

I first played this Revolutionary, and then I fell for Claire, who was out of exile, who was a guest there, playing Revolution Unmarked.

"The Empress of the Empire is Philine, but if you guide her successfully, the Empire will collapse."

"Oh, can you do that?

"I can."

This is the revolutionary route in Revolyri.

Levolili can normally enjoy a relationship with an attacking target, but there are other routes that, like unmarked ones, do not fall in love with anyone, but become the flag of the revolution and defeat the empire.

Just like the route I used during my revolution in Bauer.

"Well, if you collapse the empire, that's a lot of problems, so I'll go after it, but for one thing, let's list eliminating the invasive nature of the empire as a goal"

I have no objection.

Master Claire must have made me feel like I was talking about grabbing a cloud, but she still agreed with me.

"I like it."

"Hey, what, all of a sudden"

"No, I thought they trusted me."

"It's not natural."

"Kufu"

I just reaffirmed Master Claire's affection and I go on.

"There are a few key figures in the empire's powerlessness, but most importantly, this filine"

I pointed to one of the names listed in the dossier.

"She's basically a grown-up, pull-in-the-mill kid,"

"How can such a person revolutionize?

"No, isn't it funny how those kids grow up"

"... Growth? We're talking about the prophecy, right?

"Oh, excuse me. This is the story."

This may be a story of arbitrariness and prejudice, but the protagonist of the maiden game is a small number of children with no personality or thin contents.

I don't really like this type of protagonist, although it seems it's hard for players to get emotional when their personality is too strong.

Filine, the protagonist of Revolyri, also acts like her disfigured protagonist at first.

But as the story progresses, Filine grows more and more independent as one woman.

That trend is also strong in stories with offensive targets, but the best sight is still the revolutionary route.

Incidentally, guest star Claire stands as Philine's biggest obstacle.

Villain Lady Pozi as well as unmarked, but there are more cool scenes than unmarked.

I don't know how many times I've seen a scene where Philine convicts me and executes me, and I can snap my neck laughing high.

... Well, every time I get depressed for about three days.

"Well anyway, we need to make contact with Filine and direct her to be good"

"I get it. So, what am I supposed to do? You can't just push a job on Ray."

Dear Claire, you can say something reliable.

Before the revolution I was struggling on my own, it was a feeling of peace of mind in the clouds and mud.

I feel like I could do anything with this.

"First of all, you confirm it because of the difference between the history I know and the history I have today. In my known history, Master Claire is a leading aristocrat of the Empire."

"Of the Empire!? What kind of flow would that happen?!?

"Well, I'll break it down there"

"I care too much!?

"I'll fold it."

"I can't solve it."

'Cause it's gonna be long.

"Anyway, you're not in the same position as Claire is now. Claire in the prophecy is somewhat on the institutional side of the empire, but now Claire is the opposite."

"Right. So, Ray's knowledge can't be very athe this time?

"Certainly compared to the time of the previous revolution. But I don't think it's going to do any good."

I'm counting on you.

I don't know what to do, super happy.

I wanted to hug Master Claire without context, but I'm in the middle of a serious conversation, so I'll put up with it a lot.

"Well, that's why Lady Claire's in a different position, and that's the other way around."

"What do you mean?

Lady Claire tilts her neck to encourage her to continue.

Yes, sweetie.

"Philine is a cheeky kid, but she's also a sweet kid, so she's negative about the invasive foreign policy of the empire today."

"So?"

"For her, Master Claire, who opposed the Empire head-on and achieved a bloodless revolution, would be quite fascinating to see."

"I wonder...?

Master Claire is twisting her neck.

"Well, I don't think the story is that simple, but at least she should be interested. Let's use it."

"You're kind of like a bad adult, Ray, sticking with an innocent kid and fooling him."

"In fact, it's no big difference. Let's be, bad adults."

"... well, you can't pretend."

In the meantime, Master Claire seems to agree with the general policy.

I continue watching Master Claire sip a cup of tea.

"We go to the Empire as exchange students, so we can probably make contact with Filine there. That's where it comes from."

"Fine, you're just hitting it off."

"Please call me ad hoc. And I'm going to ask Claire to thoroughly put into her head what I've written about Revolyri."

"Are you sure? Sure, you didn't manage to tell me that Ray's advantage would disappear when I found out?

Master Claire, I remember you very well.

"Because then it was about Claire herself. Let's work together this time to attack Filine."

"Stop saying that offense. It's so sweet."

"... Lady Claire's Eh"

"Yes, you want to burn me?

"It's a joke, Master Claire. Please spare me the magic ray. The house burns."

Frightened by the Francois family crest that floated over my head, I deceived Master Claire.

"Let's start with matters concerning Filine. There are quite a few."

"I'm good at remembering. Leave it to me."

That's how our Imperial Cage operation began that day.
