The World of Otome Games is Tough For Mobs
[]/(n) transition period/
Third grade classroom.
"Ahhh, you were tired yesterday"
Weird enough, the other guy was the guy who came to protect his pretty little sister's share.
I don't understand what it's like to adore my sister, but she's not going to be hostile to me in the first place, so no problem.
Instead, compared to Lelia and Serge - it was pretty decent.
With my cheeks on my desk, Daniel and Raymond approach me.
"Lion, I need to talk to you for a second."
"Ready now?
When I look up, they both look a little troubled.
"What's the matter with you?
"No, the -?
"Yeah."
Daniel and Raymond have been talking to me about this since we met face to face.
"Actually, there's a tea party in May, right?
"There is."
"It's that tea party - is Lion inviting anyone? Or are you going to open it?
"Huh?"
What the two of them are having trouble with was the Tea Party in May.
There is already no need for boys to invite girls, but the custom that has lasted for years does not disappear.
If an anxious boy throws a tea party, the rest of the boys will be restless.
"What happened last year?
Daniel makes his gaze wander.
"The dean also said he didn't have to do it - me and Raymond didn't open it. But a girl complained."
I shake my neck.
"You guys, when I asked you out to Argentina on a long vacation, you said something like you had a girlfriend"
Raymond takes off his glasses and wipes his tears.
"In the meantime, other boys took it. When I got back, I was dating other boys."
- I think I did something a little bad.
"As it were, well, you guys would have a lot of girls if you asked them out."
The position of men and women has been reversed since the school's policy shift.
However, even when the men's position suddenly grew stronger, previous common sense seemed disturbing and confusing.
"That's a problem, too. Look, you've widened the range of people you can marry. When you speak up, dozens of people come together."
"Width?"
Raymond shakes his neck.
"Why doesn't Lion know? A knight's girl can get married. It's a trend like that."
I'm not listening.
If you ask me in detail from Raymond, many nobles evicted their full wives after the war against the Principality.
Next, I will officially welcome a woman who has previously been treated as a sideroom or mistress as my wife.
The kingdom has a history so far, and you can't say you're strong enough - even your knightly daughter can do it, can you? It was in that state.
Exactly, they refrain from doing so above the Count's, but the atmosphere was that a poor Baron would be fine with a knight's daughter.
"I like your knight's daughter. No more girls than the Baron's."
When Daniel said that, Raymond also agreed.
"That's right. I don't know if I'd have any trouble sneaking up on you right now."
The girls who were listening to those two were dropping their shoulders or letting their gaze wander.
We are a generation in transition.
Girls are the last school year to know about preferences so far, and boys know both bad and good times.
The graduated boys have also heard that they are increasingly cutting ties with their full wives in response to changing circumstances as soon as possible.
I mean - it's also a very confusing generation.
"Well, that's better than no one coming"
"Yeah, but you're worried. So I was wondering what Leon would do."
Raymond asks me, and I put my hands behind my head.
"Invite three fiancées. It's a tea party. Oh, Erica and Erica will ask you out."
"You're jealous. Is that your fiancée, Erica? Why are you treating me like I'm a different frame?
When Daniel wonders, Raymond shines his glasses.
"Daniel, this is my local girlfriend in the Republic. Lyon, you brought him home."
"Oh, you are!
You two look at me and you're angry, so you laugh and you forgive me.
"I'm sorry. I have a fiancée now, so I'm not inviting anyone to a tea party."
He was looking at me like the girls said something, but - No, I really can't.
Both Ange and Libya would surely be angry if they invited someone else.
I don't know because I've never invited another girl.
"Leon, you can hang out today. I'm going to talk to you about your lover."
Daniel tells me, but not today.
"Bad. I have business at the Royal Palace. The Duke calls me."
Raymond quickened up his glasses.
"The Duke? To the Duke of Red Grave?
- I have a feeling it's going to be some trouble.
◇
"You've finally met me, Marquis Bartofalto!
A room in the royal palace.
It was Mr. Vince and - I don't know - the man who welcomed me.
Around thirty nobles with blonde blue eyes, curled with slightly stretched hair tips.
He's got a beard, and depending on what you see, he's a beauty.
"Huh? Um, the..."
"This is rude! My name is [Dominique Fou Mottley]. Think of it as a fan of the Marquis Bartofalto."
"My fans!?"
What the hell happens, can I have an old man's fan?
Look at me in trouble, Mr. Vince sent me a rescue ship.
"Count Mottley is a lord who guarded his borders from other countries during the war against the Principality. And after the war, he separated his wife."
What does that have to do with me?
"Driven out to the border, the kingdom dies! And I spent days whining about the curse, but what a change of policy the kingdom had when I got back to the territory! Until now, no one complains about trumpeting something that was my wife who has been making fun of me. On the contrary, I was officially welcomed as my wife by the woman who supported me. - I can't thank the Marquis enough."
Mr. Vince is laughing.
"I kept his wife as our adopted daughter until recently."
"I am grateful, Duke of Red Grave"
To sum up the story - here's the thing.
The matrimonial companion of the fortified Earl of Mottley, but was a Viscount's maid.
This wife, but she seemed like a feminine figure in the kingdom aristocracy.
That alone gives a good idea of how patient Count Mottley was.
Other countries attacked the border and reluctantly headed into battle when they told me to go out to the kingdom - when I came back, the kingdom was making a policy shift.
Just when I was fighting the Principality.
The tide of the world has changed, or it's the beginning of tough times for women.
No, you're back to normal?
Anyway, his wife's home was crushed in the war against the Principality.
No one complains, so Count Mottley takes his wife apart.
And he seems to have asked the Duke's family to accept his current wife as his adopted daughter in order to be united with a samurai who supported him on the side.
He was adopted from the civilian to the Knight family, and then gradually grew in character and eventually became the Duke's adopted daughter.
- A samurai who was a civilian, wondering if she was an adopted child launderer! I will be a nobleman, I will marry the Count safely, and now I will say that I also have children.
"There's no longer a need to let a kid who doesn't know whose kid he is, inherit the Mottley family. And all thanks to the Marquis Bartofalto."
I say it with a very good smile.
"Oh, really?"
- The Marquis of Bartofalto at times.
"Yes?"
"Would you like to burn the royal palace with me?
- What the hell is he talking about?
If you are in trouble, Mr. Vince supplements Count Mottley's story.
"Count Mottley is radical. But, Lion, I'm counting on you, Ange's husband."
"Duke?"
Count Mottley turns to the face.
It doesn't seem like a joke.
"Marquis Bartofalto, you may not know it because it seems like you've been away from the kingdom for a while - but the kingdom is very dangerous now. Our Lords, who have borders with other countries, are anxious about that."
Mr. Vince also looked serious at some point.
"Mr. Lion, do you think you need a royal palace now?
- Is this what Ange was saying!
When I didn't answer, Mr. Vince smiled.
"I want you to think about it. Many people are not convinced to keep the kingdom alive. Someone needs to stand."
Who is that? - I'm sure it's Mr. Vince himself.
I'm sure you're counting on Luxion's performance.
◇
School.
Marie was searching around for Erica.
"Because as soon as you take your eyes off me, you're gone!
I guess I take good care of you because I have the remnants of my previous life.
It was Noel who would find Marie like that and wave at her.
"Ah, it's Marich"
"Again, you gave me a subtle nickname. Noel, are you all right now?
"Yeah, I have permission to exercise lightly. More than that, where are you going?
I'm looking for Erica.
"The princess?
The two walked together and talked to the public.
From Noel's point of view, the kingdom's schools are full of surprises.
"Hey, they're having a tea party in May, but aren't the boys responding subtly?
"Ah, that one. Guys, I'm really bothered about the tea party. My brother would be happy to open it."
Apart from tea crazy boys students, I'm not interested in the May Tea Party or anything else.
However, it is also customary to not do it - the boys seem to be lost as well.
"I wish I could invite whoever I want"
"It's hard for a girl not to be invited, though."
Marie knew that the women were also confused by the sudden change in the kingdom so far.
I've been told to keep my head down, but suddenly I'm in trouble.
With smart girls moving early, the girls who can't cope with change are always dragging their old senses.
But I can't help it either.
(I think you'll calm down in a few years, but you can't do it for a while. If you think so, our generation could be pretty tough)
"Has Marich been invited by anyone?
Marie becomes faceless.
- Those five invited me.
"Why is it dark? Why don't you just be happier? Maybe we're together from time to time, so there's no novelty or something? This luxurious man."
"There's no way you'd be depressed for that reason. I've decided not to expect those five. I'd rather be at my brother's tea party."
Absolutely expensive teas and treats will come out, and Lion should invite Erica.
Marie wanted to join you too.
When they walked into the school courtyard, there was a young man in a hat deep enough to take care of the garden.
Noel sees it and gets anxious.
"That's dangerous. Maybe a new gardener? Don't you have a senior to mentor or something?
He seems to be taking care of the garden, but the movement is awkward no matter how he sees it.
It's dangerous to watch.
Marie agrees.
"I can still be better at this. Something I used to take care of my garden too when I was in a republican mansion. The lawn was too healthy in the summer, and I don't like it anymore."
Only the ability to live, even in silence, improves.
Marie is getting sad.
"Marich's in trouble too."
"That's right. It's tough. So when you get out to your brother's tea party, get me some sweets."
To Lion's fiancée, he was Marie, who forced her to make sweets.
◇
A lousy gardener throws up evil when two female students disappear.
"Damn it! I don't know anything, you little shit."
Removing his hat, the blonde youth's face was distorted.
Beat the tools to the ground.
"How could I, the nobleman, have to do this! I was supposed to be a baron!
The young man was - rut art.
He is the son of Zora, a former Baron Bartofalto's regular room, and Ruto, a former man of honor.
"Mother and Merse, push me to do this job"
Luart, dived into the school, was gathering information.
It's all about preparing for a successful coup.
Pick up the tools and make them look like they're working.
I was listening to the conversation between the students whose streets would take.
"Did you hear that? Erica was called to the Marquis Bartofalto Tea Party."
"I envy you. I mean, why didn't the seniors go after the Marquis? Whatever you think, it's not a promising stock since school."
"I don't know that. But now I have a fiancée and I'm not getting close. To Erica, Angelica of the Redgrave family."
When the topic of Lion comes up, Ruto bites his back teeth off.
(That's him. Because of him, this is what I'm seeing. I'll never forgive you, Lion!
Once upon a time - to Lion, who was my brother, was a rutoart determined to avenge him.
