“Haa… haa… So, Marion has become Wilfred’s Personal Maid…”
Gasping for breath and sprawled out in the Training Grounds, I explained the events of last night to Alexandra. Not just about Marion and the dinner party, but also about telling the Head Maid about her fate.
But, acting like a petty villain, I said with a vulgar grin, “I decided to give that woman to Wilfred as punishment. I’m so kind, aren’t I?” The Head Maid’s subtle expression at that moment was a masterpiece. There’s no doubt my reputation has gotten even worse now. How depressing.
“I see.”
In stark contrast to me, Alexandra looked as cool as ever, despite having shown so much movement. I think her strength is even greater than the main heroine’s.
“However, I still think Prince Harold is being a little too lenient. It would have been better to just banish her without question, to avoid any future troubles…”
“Ah, haha…”
I gave a wry smile as she glared at me with her Sapphire Eyes. Certainly, if we banished her, we wouldn’t have to deal with her in the future, and she might not even appear after the main story of EnHaza begins.
After all, Marion only meets the protagonist in EnHaza through an event that takes place at the Royal Academy. I guess she was able to attend the Royal Academy because she had money saved up from working as a Maid in the Royal Palace.
We had a chance to eliminate one flag, but now, as Alexandra says, I can’t deny that I’m being too lenient. Moreover, I’ve paired her up with Wilfred before the main story even begins…
“Ahhh, Lady Alexandra!?”
“Fufu… but I find that kindness of yours very appealing.”
She came right next to me and even offered me a lap pillow. Seriously, am I setting up some kind of weird death flag by having my favorite character do something like this for me?
But… how could Harold from EnHaza ever break off his engagement with such a wonderful woman like Alexandra? I can’t believe it.
“By the way, changing the subject, how does Harold-sama wish to become stronger?”
“Huh?”
“For example, do you want to become a swordsman, or a mage? There are various weapons to choose from, and the options are endless. We are currently prioritizing building your basic physical strength, but considering the future, it would be more efficient to set a goal in advance.”
“Ah…”
What I want to become, huh…? Now that she mentions it, I was just thinking about maxing out Harold’s stats in EnHaza, since I know them, and making the most of my only advantage, my magical abilities.
“…Actually, I’ve only been thinking about getting stronger, and I haven’t really thought about what I want to become. Besides, I don’t have much stamina, so Martial Arts probably aren’t for me.”
Well, Harold’s abilities are too specialized, and the fighting style also changes depending on the weapon you get, so it can’t be helped.
“I see. Certainly, everyone has their strengths and weaknesses, but even so, I believe that one’s Feelings about what they want to become, what they want to achieve… are what make a person strong more than anything else. So, I don’t think there’s any need to narrow down your options from the start.”
That’s right… This world is Engage Hazard, which I loved more than anything in my previous life.
When I first played this game… I was completely focused on the two-dimensional heroines, but even so, when I finished the tutorial and learned about the story, I remember feeling as excited as a child. Maybe I’ve become too accustomed to EnHaza, and I’ve been focusing too much on efficiency.
Then.
“Lady Alexandra… I want to become a strong man who can protect myself and the Precious Thing. It doesn’t matter if I’m not cool, or if I’m unrefined. But I want the strength to protect what’s important to me, no matter what, no matter who the opponent is.”
That’s right. I regained my memories of my previous life, learned that I was a sycophant and less than a stepping stone, and decided to break the flags and survive no matter what. I decided that I would never break off my engagement with Alexandra=Chevalier, my fiancée, who wasn’t even my favorite heroine in that EnHaza prologue.
That’s why I want to become stronger.
“For the sake of what you want to protect… for the sake of the woman you want to protect, is it…”
Alexandra, her cheeks slightly red, muttered as if repeating my words.
“Fufu… it’s wonderful that you include yourself in what you want to protect. Then, I will definitely train you to become such a person.”
“Ah, haha… p-please be gentle…”
Seeing her eyes shining with enthusiasm, I felt a twinge of anxiety.
And as expected, from that day on, her training became extremely brutal.
