Only two days left until the release of “The Incompetent Rascal Prince Wants to Survive”!
You might be able to find it in bookstores in the metropolitan area tonight!
Please see the afterword for details!!!
It’s lunchtime, ten days after Lyra started guarding Florencia.
We’ve gathered behind the school building to share information, including whether there’s been any progress since then… but.
“………………….”
Yes, Carla, completely excluded, is sulking with all her might.
Well, she’s a physical-specialized heroine, and without a way to prevent the curse, we can’t ask for her cooperation. I think my judgment is correct.
“Carla, there’s no helping it. If I were to be cursed in a place where you weren’t, I could lose my life in the worst-case scenario…”
“I understand!!!”
Christia tries to admonish her, but Carla interrupts and slams the wall with all her might.
Florencia, who is present, turns pale at the tremendous sound.
“So… until this problem is resolved, I don’t want Carla to contact us. Otherwise, you’ll be recognized as an accomplice and become a target.”
“…”
I don’t want to say this either, but it can’t be helped to protect her.
I revealed it today because she happened to witness us and followed us here.
Then.
“That’s…”
Sandra and Monica are beckoning Carla from the shadows of the school building.
I told them both not to approach me and Florencia until the moment of truth, so what’s this about? Won’t we be found out instead?
But, seeing that, Carla goes to them as if drawn in, and glares at us from the shadows of the school building in the same way. Jeez…, troublesome.
“Well, now that it’s just the four of us, let’s continue the discussion. So…”
“Yes. Lucio seems to be casting curses on me after all, and seven substitute dolls have already been destroyed.”
Saying that, Florencia showed us seven dolls torn to shreds from her pocket, and four dolls that were still in perfect condition.
So, that means we can prevent Lucio’s curse four more times.
“So, we have to do something before the remaining dolls are destroyed.”
“…That’s what it means.”
Florencia puts away the dolls and drops her shoulders.
It’s tough when we can’t even find Lucio’s hiding place…
“How about Christia-san and Lize?”
“Thanks to you, I haven’t been cursed yet.”
“Me neither.”
I’m relieved to know that the two of them haven’t been harmed.
Even if you have the skill to remove curses, you still receive the curse itself. I don’t want them to suffer even a little.
“So, that means he hasn’t been able to obtain a part of your bodies, or…”
“Perhaps it’s because we’ve been paying attention and cleaning our rooms since then.”
“I see.”
Speaking of which, Monica cleans perfectly every day, so thanks to her, there’s no need to worry about my hair being obtained. Lyra always looks frustrated that her job has been taken away.
“Hal, what are we going to do now? Things won’t get better if we just stand idly by.”
“Yeah…”
According to Themis, Lucio, having had his curses thwarted every time, will try to contact Florencia to obtain Florencia’s Hair in order to activate a more powerful curse.
We have no choice but to wait and see when that happens.
“…Everyone, just a little more patience. The time to confront Lucio is coming soon.”
“Yes.”
“Yeah.”
Christia and Lize nod at my words.
But.
“………………….”
Only Florencia is silent with a dark expression.
I also heard from Themis that Florencia doesn’t want to fight Lucio, whom she thought of as a younger brother, and depending on the protagonist’s choices, there’s a bad ending where she accepts the curse and dies.
She must be wondering what to do.
“Florencia-san.”
“!? Y-yes!”
“I’m trying to help you, even involving my ‘Precious Thing’. I want you to not forget that.”
“………………….”
By telling Florencia that, I’m warning her not to easily accept the curse. If I do this, she won’t give up out of guilt towards us.
–Keen Kon.
“Oops, lunchtime is over.”
We hurried to the classroom so as not to be late for the afternoon classes.
At that time.
“!”
A male student with silver eyes was watching us.
I thought it was Lucio for a moment, but he’s not enrolled in the Royal Academy.
“…No way.”
I shook my head and chased after Christia and Lize, who were walking ahead.
Thank you for reading!

The book “The Incompetent Rascal Prince Wants to Survive” will be released by GA Bunko on July 14th (Sun)!

We have made considerable revisions, including Harold’s character settings, so I think everyone who has read the web version will surely enjoy it!
Also,
・Animate, Gamers, Melonbooks, and BOOK★WALKER have bonus short stories.
・Melonbooks has a B2 tapestry drawn by Yuzuki-sensei as a paid bonus.

It is a must-see to see what kind of end Sandra met in the original Scenario of “Engage Hazard”!
