In the end, I found myself sitting at the table with the strange kid in my lap. To be honest, this wasn't very comfortable with me, being some sort of budget Santa. Yet, apparently, it was the only way that this little guy was willing to sit with us while Raisa was here. Regardless, he was still glaring at Raisa the entire time while grabbing onto part of my shirt almost like I was a weapon he could use to defend himself. The chefs were rather confused, but still prepared another and placed the bowl…-

To be honest, I didn't really want to talk to Bernie. However, it seemed like there was something he was determined to say, so I decided to let him go through with it. When the others were about to object, I cleared my throat, speaking before they had the chance to. "Let's just hear him out." Jess and Raisa both frowned, but it seemed like they were at least willing to do that much. Bernie closed his eyes, mulling over how to start for a few seconds. Then, he slowly opened them. "Upon…

After Charlotte posed that question, I turned to look at Nathan. Though Rae's strict lecture about friendly fire had also happened in the story, there wasn't actually an option to console her or give advice. Because the protagonist wasn't supposed to be able to even attract her this early in the first place. But ironically enough it wasn't even Nathan that did it, but the actual protagonist, Natan, that had somehow wooed her. Charlotte's eyes seemed to sparkle somewhat, while her lips formed a small…

Now that I think about it, showing off my fighting style to basically all of the nobles put me on the backfoot when it came to surprising people. From what it looked like, Sam was consciously preparing for the moment I went for a liver punch. But at the very least, while it was blocked, there still seemed to be an effect. While Sam was a bit out of it, I used it to press my temporary advantage, trying to get an upper hand over him in combat. I performed several feints before twisting my sword like…

Now that the notion of groups came about, Nathan and I looked at each other. We both narrowed our eyes slightly. I could tell he was thinking the same thing I was. We wanted to be on opposite teams, and see who would win in that situation. Yet, right after our eyes relaxed somewhat. The reason being we were going to fight together in the future, probably with teammates as well. This was a good opportunity to get used to that. Perhaps after everything calms down a bit, we could have a fight like…

Several ways to contact Bryson had come to mind. Just trying to directly talk to him, leaving behind notes, or getting someone else to say it for me. However, I thought it would be better for me to get in contact with Nathan and see the results of how he handled Natan to see how it worked out for him. There was still a part of me that just wished Bryson was actually gone, but I felt that was unlikely. More than that, I decided to focus on meditating. I recalled the events of the game, which…

There was the slightest tinge of pain in the back of my head, something I wouldn't have noticed if I didn't pay attention to it. Though I hadn't actually started to try using Dark Arts at the time, it appeared I was successful, just that the effects were rather... extreme. From the looks of things, the mask actually did work, just that it needed to be activated via Dark Arts, thus letting me teleport. It made me wonder what memory I had lost. For a second, I thought it was an illusion, but I…

Though my first impression of these guys was not exactly the best, it's known that really powerful people in stories tend to be eccentric. After all, having weird quirks about them gives them an excuse to not use their powers or help the protagonist for basically free. Not that anything like that happens in this shitty game, but still. After looking at the mess that they had become, I spoke up a question, interrupting their arguing. "Um, since you said that you've made great advancements in Dark…

When I first heard the voice, I didn't think too much while turning to look at them. Yet, when my eyes landed on his face, I involuntarily ended up freezing up. The person I found myself looking at wasn't particularly threatening in any way, but he was someone that I had recognized from this shitty dating game. Shen. Fucking hell, this guy is supposed to show up an entire year later! Why the shit is he here now? ...Well, maybe he isn't hostile right now. He looked like a guy my age with…

After coming to the conclusion that Bryson might not actually be gone from the story, I decided to think of a way to deal with this. I mean, it's hard to imagine the main villain will be taking theft of his own body that easily. "So, Natan. Have you ever felt something like a personality shift or something like that? I've noticed that you are acting a little differently today." Raisa nodded shortly after I said that. "Yeah, I was thinking that earlier. It looks like it's not just me." Charlotte…
