CH 27

I, am called Ankoro Mochiko.

Just kiddingー.

It's the name I ended up using while I was fooling around.

But there's no way, I'd know this would happen, is there.

Even me if I knew this would happen, I would probably spend all night long searching the internet before starting. And would've used a cutely, exist an originality, wonderful name.

But I was tired then.

Even though I thought "I would get fat if I ate it at night," I ended up eating the ankoromochi I bought at a convenience store.

The only saving grace here must be that everyone will immediately accept the abbreviation "Ann."

Let's talk about "Honey-Coloured Rhapsody" for a little.

This game is about a heroine who entered a royal academy aiming for the title of the most dignified woman in the academy, "Princess of the White Rose".

There, she meets four men and becomes close to them, and in the process of getting help from them, she falls in love with one of them.

Prince Alexis, Edmont, Leon-sensei, and Serge.

In the language of flowers, the white rose means mutual love.

She was chosen as the "Princess of the White Rose" and falls in love with the young man with whom she has formed a bond. That is the happy ending for the heroine.

After completing everyone's route, a new fortune teller route will appear. This one, atypically, the ending will also change greatly, but I will leave it at that.

The Prince is the royal road tsundere route.

When he learns that the heroine he met at the academy doesn't flutter at him, he becomes interested in her, saying, "She's an interesting woman." Having his heart taken by the heroine, who is different from the women he knows, he eventually annuls his engagement to Miriella.

Edmont is a student romance route.

Fed up with his bad-personality sister and gloomy ex-fiancé, Ed leads a school life with no interest in women. Such heroine who hits it off with him is attracted to each other's bright and positive personalities.

With Leon-sensei, it will be a love route with an age difference.

Leon-sensei, a kind teacher, actually has a past in which he was taken in as a spare by a duke family with whom he is not related by blood. Leon-sensei has lived his life as someone's spare. Touching his kindness, it is the heroine who appeals that Leon-sensei is a one-of-a-kind individual who cannot be made into a successor.

Serge is, the attacked route.

Serge, a cute puppyish knight, adores the heroine as a princess from the day they meet. A child-thinking Serge, who wants to be a knight to protect his princess, just vigorously keeps on coming, and the heroine would have to go through many events for it to develop into a romance.

I used to have a very frustrating experience playing this game. That is, the heroine is too naturally insensitive. That's the problem.

Even if Leon-sensei shows deep kindness only to the heroine, and even if Edmont did the kabedon, a heroine who can't quite move forward. [Tl note: kabedon is the act of pinning down a love interest against the wall.]

When it came to the tsundere prince route, the back-and-forth was so frustrating that it made me momentarily tighten my chest, caused by powerful feelings beyond my irritation.

Such me, ended up noticed.

Miriella, the villainous daughter who always gets in the way of the heroine, is actually a moe character.

Miriella is the prince's fiancée in name only, and she flares out at the heroine who has the prince's eye on her.

In mini-games, she'll harass you as a deformed character, and in story mode, she comes along with her entourage to say sarcasm every time.

On top of all that, she deceives the heroine and locks her in a hut, exposing her life to danger. She was impeached by the princes for that, and Miriella was finally captured and sent to prison.

However.

It's not like I don't understand Miriella-jou's feelings. After all, she was originally the fiancée of the prince. she may have a little bad personality, but she had her love in her own way. [Tl note: "jou" means Miss]

Harassing the heroine with her entourage was also a result of being teased by those around her in a high position, which made her feel pitiful.

If I was still a teenage girl, I might have looked at things differently. But that's how it seemed to me in my thirties.

Moreover, Miriella has an exceedingly poor endgame. No matter how many times she loses to the heroine in a mini-game, she will continue to attack her in the same way, and come to say ineffective sarcasm (even though it is necessary for the story), which made her clumsiness to stand out.

Gradually, in my eyes, Miriella became a character I couldn't hate.

This girl isn't that bad, is she. With light pink hair and reddish eyes, she looks lovely with a red ribbon on her head.

I'm sure she's cute when she's acting dere. [Tl note: dere, as in, affectionate. it's a japanese thing.]

When I cleared everyone's part, that feeling became even stronger. [Tl note: part, as in, route]

If I become the heroine, I will become friends with Miriella and clear up the prince's misunderstandings. It might not go well, but the tragedy of Miriella being impeached by the prince will be avoided.

And I will be married to the cute Serge-kun.

His sword skills are top-notch, so he might be recognized by the higher ranks and given a peerage. But it might also be possible for the two of them to go on an adventure together. I'm sure Serge-kun will always protect the heroine and live with her in any kind of life.

There were times when I was grinning thinking about such things during my tiresome work.

--------------------

Right. I was so busy with work that I couldn't do it without escaping from reality. Days without overtime work became rare, and my eyes are always tired from computer work. Before I knew it, I began to stagger on my commute to work, and that time has come.

(Aーa, no, I did it......)

It was an accident, not by any means what I myself wish.

I was horrified when I remembered the room full of otaku goods at home. I felt sorry for my family in the countryside. All of that is now beyond my control.

Regret, chagrin, and a sense of liberation turn round and round.

When the torrent subsided, I opened my eyes and found myself standing in a corner of a school building that I had never seen before.

I clung to the trunk of the tree next to me and calmed down. I must have had an accident and lost consciousness. Despite that, I stand composed. in a place like school.

I recognized the school uniforms worn by the students walking in the distance.

"No way," with that in mind I felt the bag I was holding in my hand.

I took out a hand mirror that was mixed in with writing utensils and handkerchiefs, and timidly peered into it.

"Aha.......。It's a lie isn't it."

The shiny platinum hair is in a silky bob style, not unlike my own dark, curly hair. In addition the face wrapped in it is exactly the heroine. It was the heroine's face, boasting an impregnable beauty.

Aa.

To me, who was doing my best to work seriously, does it means that God gave me the "one chance" I wonder.

I don't know.

I don't know, but now I'm the heroine of "Hachi Rhap".

Even if this is a dream, I am the heroine until I wake up. I have no choice but to live here as the heroine.

If I'm going to live anyway, I want to live happily and positively.

"I haven't sorted it out yet, but even if I'm being pessimistic or even flustered, it can't be helped."

I told myself so and started walking towards the hall where the entrance ceremony would begin.

Suddenly, I see a handsome blond man walking from the direction of travel.

Oh, that's right.

As the heroine hurriedly headed for the hall, she bumped into the third prince, Prince Alexis. Later on, the two of them said, "You were of that time...", but now I don't need that encounter.

I move out of the way with unhindered motion and pass by his side, and enter the hall.

Thus, my redo life began in the world of "Hachi Rhap".
