It Seems I've Been Reincarnated As A Mob Character In An Otome Game World, But The Prince Dropped Out Before It Even Started - Episode 3

Sad news!!

The premise of the otome game collapses! The main character comes out as gay in front of the heroine!!

I’m dizzy from the sudden revelation.

Huh? Was Lady Cedi a homosexual? I had no idea at all.

Come to think of it, I did think it was quite manly.

Even though he was extremely popular with the girls at school, he completely ignored them, which I find really stoic and impressive.

There was no sweet atmosphere with the fiancée, the villainess, at all, and even when they escorted each other, it was very formal.

But I thought everything was going according to the anime’s plot!

In the anime, Prince Cedric hated the villainess.

I cherish the memories from my childhood, believing that I have a fated pink-haired heroine.

Moreover, it seems that the villainess, who was said to have gone on a rampage in the game because she liked Prince Cedric, was actually nurturing a platonic love with her true love, the second prince, in the anime.

By the way, I was also working on the other targets.

Before the pink-haired heroine could save those who were troubled, she was eliminating the cause and helping them.

The younger stepbrother (now a first-year student) in the small animal role is already attached to her (a common trope in otome games. The villainess is the only daughter and has adopted a distant male relative to inherit the ducal family), and he is conscious of her.

The serious, bespectacled prime minister’s son (now a third-year student) has reconciled with his father, who neglected the family (a common trope in otome games), and the same goes for her.

The muscle-brained count’s son (now a second-year student) is still as annoying as ever.

There doesn’t seem to be any particular worries, and she doesn’t seem to be interested in women in general, let alone being a villainess. She loves muscles more than women.

He and I have a bit of a connection, but he hasn’t changed since we were kids. Well, he’s a meathead anyway.

There should have been other characters called hidden otome game but since they didn’t appear in the anime, I don’t know. They were probably already defeated by the villainess.

However, in the anime, Prince Cedric and the villainess were not on good terms.

So I wasn’t really concerned, but I never expected that the prince not only disliked the villainess but also other women… Huh?

The game heroine who is the true love interest of Prince Cedric.

It was supposed to be released in about a month, but could it be that women in general are not allowed—?

In front of me, a battlefield was beginning to unfold.

Not the prince and the villainous noblewoman, but the prince and the half-brother.

It seems that the story came as a complete surprise to Prince David as well. He is leaning forward, pressing his half-brother for answers.

In this world, homosexuality isn’t particularly taboo.

But… if Prince Cedric ascends to the throne, the position of the villainous noblewoman who becomes queen will no longer exist. It would definitely be a white marriage.

Look away from the battlefield.

I checked with the colleague standing next to me.

“You knew about the prince’s sexuality, didn’t you?”

“Ah… yeah. Well, that’s that.”

While averting my gaze, I am affirmed.

I thought you didn’t seem shaken by the “coming out,” but I guess I was wrong.

Even though he’s just a mob character, he is the count’s son. If he were related to high-ranking nobility, his secret fetishes would probably have been revealed.

Well, I’m just a low-ranking member. It’s only natural that there are things I haven’t been taught.

The baron title of my adoptive father is something prepared by a government agency—commonly referred to as the “dark side”—because only nobles can become attendants to the royal family.

There are several other Irving families besides mine.

After being taken in from the orphanage, I was also drilled on the basics.

The reason I didn’t pursue a career as a professional in intelligence is that it was decided I would become a subordinate directly under Prince Cedric.

Hehehe, I’m an agent, you know.

The role is to be a human shield, protecting with one’s body.

Not your classmates. That is the role of the targets.

To act as a body double, I dyed my hair the same black as the prince’s. I haven’t seen my natural hair for a while, but it should have been a shabby, faded red.

I’m also wearing secret boots to match his height (maybe because I’m actually one year younger than the prince, I’m still a bit short…).

The color of blue eyes can’t be faked, so I’ll leave them as they are. If necessary, I’ll wear gold contact lenses.

“Are you saying, brother, that instead of choosing a queen, you will choose a king consort and ascend to the throne?”

Instead of Beatrice, who has undergone harsh queen training since childhood, you choose a partner based on “true love” just like His Majesty the King?

“The future where the daughter of the Duke of Wenham becomes the next queen of the Kingdom of Cunningham remains unchanged.”

While quietly watching his enraged half-brother, Prince Cedric speaks.

“You will ascend to the throne next, David.”

“――――”

“I will suddenly fall ill from now on.”

The illness will likely be announced as severe. I plan to leave the academy and go to a distant place for treatment. Eventually, I will also renounce my claim to the throne.

You will first become the student council president of this academy from now on.

A year later, I will be engaged to the daughter of the Duke of Wenham, and another year later, we will marry upon graduating from the academy. I will be officially appointed as the crown prince.

To his half-brother, who calmly announced his withdrawal from the public eye, Prince David shook his head, his lips trembling.

“I can’t do it. Being a king is just……”

“Mr. David.”

I am here. From now on, I will always be by your side to support you.

The villainess is comforting Prince David, who looks like he might collapse at any moment.

The attendants of the Second Prince and the villainess in the student council room are watching the two with smiles, but the attendants of the First Prince are expressionless.

Well, no matter how you look at it, at this point, it’s nothing but infidelity… mumble mumble.

The distance between the two of them is just too close.

While maintaining a strictly appropriate distance from her fiancé, the villainess had been on friendly terms not only with the second prince but also with several male students who were her targets.

It might be possible to see it as part of the social duties of someone who will become a queen in the future, but the fact remains that you were entertaining a member of the opposite s3x who is not your fiancé.

Well, since the engagement with the First Prince will be annulled, this doesn’t concern us anymore.

“I always intended to support my brother, who became a magnificent king.”

To show that to those around me, I have not learned the education of a king. I have continued to avoid it, no matter what my mother said. I,

“David”

Without particularly caring about his half-brother’s lament, the first prince casually said with a smile.

“You still have two years until graduation. Just do your best.”
