I don't pay much attention to the wonders that are all around me, and I don't notice them.

　That's me in a fantasy world where the earth is floating.

　I'm so used to being afloat that I don't even question it.

　Doesn't it bother you?

　No, it doesn't.

　How many people are curious to find out why the ice floats?　That's what I meant.

　But I had to be stunned by the view I was seeing.

　I rubbed my eyes repeatedly, wondering if I hadn't seen it wrong.

''Well this is a surprise.

　On deck I was amazed at the view from my new airship.

　The characteristic of the new airship Einhorn is probably the single horn on the bow of the ship, as the name suggests.

　It's a long, narrow horn-like ornament attached to the bow of the new airship.

　It may have a functional meaning, but it is more distinctive than other airships.

　The view from such an airship is a large tree in the middle of a floating continent.

　It's not a mountain.

　A tree so large that it seems to have lost its sense of perspective, but it is visible across the sky in a pale light.

　With my hair disheveled by the wind, it's Marie with long blonde hair that's in more trouble than I am.

　She has a habit from the beginning, but she's holding her messy hair together.

'How's that, isn't it great?'

　Marie, who had a small, slender body, had a pompous attitude towards me.

　For some reason, my brother and sister have all been reincarnated in the world of otome games.

　That's right, Marie is my sister from a previous life.

　Normally you would feel fate or have an emotional reunion, but the only thing between me and this guy is fate.

'Why are you being so high and mighty?

　After leaving the Kingdom of Horfath, I finally came into view of a foreign land.

　The reason why I'm here is ostensibly to study abroad.

　The real purpose--I just came to see how the main characters of the sequel are doing.

　Studying and experiencing different cultures is secondary.

''If there hadn't been a sequel in the first place, I wouldn't have come here.

　Marie was rather enthusiastic about it.

　He even took quite a bit of time to study on the boat trip in order to master a foreign language.

'My brother was the kind of guy who didn't want to go abroad or anything. Studying abroad doesn't sound like fun.''

I don't enjoy this one at all. And don't call me brother. You and I are strangers in this world.

　Marie sits on my leg.

'You're dumping me!'

'I don't listen to people!　Then step away. I have a fiancée.

　Shaking it off and releasing it, Marie looks frustrated as she bites her nails.

'What!　I'm not a much better woman than those two!

What?　The two of you are much better women than you are!　I mean, don't compete, it's weird.

　My sister is jealous of my fiancé?

　I'm not happy about it.

　He returned his gaze to the continent he had come to see in the distance.

'So that's the Arzel Republic.

　Marie, still looking frustrated, said, "Yes," and talked about the Arzel Republic.

　It was the setting of the Arzel Republic in the game.

''The continents look like one from a distance, but the seven continents are connected by a central holy tree. They say it's a noble republic, but I think it felt like seven connected countries.

　The vague expression of "I feel,

　This was something that Marie couldn't be sure of, as quite a bit of time had passed since her reincarnation, and her memory was vague in some ways.

'There would have been other ways to fight a war and come together as one, or something else.

　A country in which seven countries are governed by a collegial system.

　That is the Republic of Arzer.

'I don't know about that. ─ I don't know about that, but it seems that although they are inward-looking and sometimes contentious, they are united in their fight against foreign enemies.

　Does it all line up?

　However, this is not the time to criticize the politics of other countries.

　What I wanted to know was the current situation of the protagonist in the Arzer Republic.

　In the first place, I'm not in a position to criticize politics.

　The situation is so bad that it's impossible to complain about other countries right now, such as the Horfath Kingdom.

　No, it was bad to begin with.

　Roland's scumbag is especially bad.

　I wonder if he'll be the only one imprisoned?

"And the great thing about the Arzer Republic is its defensive warfare. They've never allowed a single invasion by another country in their history.

Are you sure?　That would be awesome.

　That's great.

　Even in the Horfath Kingdom, they have allowed the enemy to invade the mainland several times and have built a bridgehead.

　The reason for this is because they have airships, which have a high transportation capacity.

　If you think about it, it's easy to see that the Arzer Republic is a country that can't be trusted.

　Is it the political system, or is it the technical or operational strength... Anyway, there's something superior about it.

''Is the cultural level the same as the Holfert Kingdom?''

'A little higher?　There are trams and such, and if we were talking about Japan, it would be the Meiji or Taisho era.

Is your diet different?

'I don't know that much about it, and I don't remember it. The game system itself was very similar.

Why don't you tell me more about it?

　While on the move, I was busy with something else and didn't get a chance to talk to Marie.

　The reason?　Because there are five people in the way.

　Not only are those guys really useless, but they are more troublesome than the enemy in my opinion because they even get in the way.

'It's pretty much the same thing. There's an adventure part, and then there's a strategy part. The daily life part was pretty much the same but... oh, yeah. We don't have a villainous daughter.

　It's in the same otome series.

　I thought it wouldn't be surprising to see the main character's rival, the villainous daughter, but apparently she's not in the next game.

　I like the simplicity of it.

　It's important to be easy to understand.

'There's no one in Angier's position,' he said. And who's in Libya's position?

　Marie has a complicated look on her face.

'What?'　Quickly answer the question.

'No you see, the game was the type of game where you had to type in your name, so I know what you look like from the illustrations, but I don't know your name. My last name was Beltre, and my real last name was [Jill Respinas] with my middle name.

'Your real last name?　Yeah, he was actually the heir to a great nobleman or something like that.

　The protagonist of the next story is a young lady who lives as a commoner but is actually a member of one of the seven great aristocracies - a young lady who is descended from one of them.

　It seems that the reason why the scene starts with the house burning down in the past is because the other houses of the seven great noble families betrayed them and attacked them.

''The Lespinus family was the house that served as the chancellor and produced the priestesses of the Holy Tree for generations. That wasn't fun and the other seven great nobles destroyed them.

Hmm.

　When I try to look uninterested, Marie glares at me as if I'm not amused.

'Why aren't you interested?　I think this is the important part, don't you?

After all, you're just trying to seduce that bastard into rebuilding his family, right?　As far as I'm concerned, as long as it's not an irreversible situation, I'm fine. I'm a sophomore now, right?

　It's a sequel to the series, but it's set up to be the same age as Livia and her friends.

'Right. If you want to talk about it in a game-like way, we had a male character from Horfert come to study abroad in Arzel or something like that if we had clear data.

"Fan service?　But you don't get along with foreign students, do you?

It's a--

　As I was talking with Marie, Julius came on deck with a bucket and a mop, as if he had misunderstood what he was talking about.

　He was wearing sandals and rolling up the sleeves of his trousers and shirt.

'Marie, are you all right!'

　Both me and Marie became expressionless at Julius' appearance.

''Hey, stupid prince. Are you done cleaning up?

　Julius walks over to us in a big stride.

　The dark blue-haired prince is also wonderfully realistic, what a great feeling it is to have a cleaning tool.

''More than that, what the hell do you think you're doing, Baltophalt!　Two people in a place like this.......you don't think they're after Marie!

　I cluck my tongue.

I have a fiancée and I'm not going to mess with another woman, you idiot. I don't want to be in the same boat as you.

I don't trust you!

"Look in the mirror!　Because there's an idiot prince out there that I don't trust any more than I do!

　As they were gawking and arguing, one by one the bastards came out on deck.

'Your Highness!　Count Baldfalt, what is the meaning of this?

　Zilk came in, his long green hair tied up and in a ponytail.

　He was worried about Julius, but couldn't forgive him for being on deck alone with Marie.

'You have a fiancée and you're going to mess with Marie!

　The next gymnast who came out was Greg.

　He had short red hair and was intimidating due to his size and muscles.

'You missed out on this one, Baldfart!

　The next one, Purple, is ... well, a narcissist.

　He's a brainy bastard who is weaker than the others, but is good at magic, but he's a bastard who is a failure at s*x appeal and shows his pompousness.

　His name is Blood.



　The last one with blue hair and serious looking glasses was Chris.

　They all had mops and other cleaning tools.

　Now I'm letting Einhorn do the cleaning work for me.

　I was using my pinky finger to poke at the holes in their ears, and I was using my attitude to show the five of them how annoying they were.

''Well get back to cleaning, you idiots.

　Marie is also dismayed at the five of them.

'Nothing to see here, everyone go back to cleaning. We're having a rather important conversation right now.

　Julius puffed out his chest in a shirt with an open chest.

　His pectoral muscles come to life and I could see that he was working out quite well.

　........I'm not happy about the bastard's service scene or anything.

'Then we'll be fine. If it's important, we'll be there to listen to it.

We'll work an hour overtime.

Why?

　When I told them to work overtime, Julius and the others would protest.

　........I had to take these idiots to study abroad with me or it was nothing more than a punishment.

　This is all Roland's fault as well.

　I was asked to do this by Lady Milene, the queen, but it's Roland's fault as king.

　It's also Roland's fault that I had a hard time in my marriage.

　Since it's all Roland's fault, I'll get my revenge one day.

　When I closed my eyes in disgust at the five of them, I saw Roland's scumbag laughing with his belly behind his eyelids.

　

　If that guy wasn't a king, I would have punched him in the face.

　I'm an adult, so I wouldn't do that.

　I'm an adult!

　If you put it together with the previous life, you're already forty years old mentally.

　I'm going to show you how to endure this with the ease of an adult.

　I'm going to be the one to tell you.

Why don't you say something, Balticphalt!

　I slapped Julius on the head with my slap.

'Shut up!　I'm not a bored person like you guys who are thriving at all hours of the day!　For the most part, my preference is for women with big tits. Marie is out of the question!　That's not what I was meant to do in the first place.

　Marie looked down at her chest and touched it with both hands.

　I was getting sad as she whispered, "Soooo, there's a little bit of it," or something like that, like there was a mountain on an empty plain.

'Ta, you slapped me!'

"There's nothing wrong with hitting them!　You're no longer the crown prince and you've given up your usefulness!　It's enough to treat me like this!

　Yes, this guy gave up his position as crown prince for Marie.

　And just recently, he attacked Ms. Hertrude, who became a duchess, and as a prince, he was deemed to have a problem with marital diplomacy.

　........A prince with no use value.

　Metallic colored spheres appeared on the deck.

　One red eye turned to me and approached me as it was.

　It's my partner, Luxion.

I'm sure you're aware of the fact that the airship claiming to be from the Arzel Republic is approaching. They want us to enter and inspect them before they land. Do you want me to shoot it down?

"...you know what you're doing and you're not listening?　Rejected. Tell them we'll accept an on-site inspection.

Yes, sir.

　He's a capable partner, but he's soon to eradicate the newcomers.

　I've been thinking about this for a while now.

　I've noticed recently that this guy is pretty bad," I said.

　I clap my hands in front of the complaining faces.

I clap my hands in front of the complaining faces. You guys get your gear out of the way, then get dressed and ready to go.

　Zilk turns away.

'I don't want to be ordered around by you, sir.

　Okay.

　I looked at Marie.

　She cleared her throat once and then changed her voice and expression.

"Everyone, let's get ready for the Republic's arrival.

　The handsome men carrying mops responded with a dumb "Yes~" and moved into the ship.

　This is the kind of place that is honest.

　Marie also slumped her shoulders and headed into the ship.

''Why do I have to take care of those five guys?

　I feel sorry for you, but you had it coming.

'Because you're going for a reverse harem,'

　Marie was teary-eyed.

'If I knew this was going to happen, no one would aim for a reverse harem!

　I smile.

'Reality is cruel, isn't it? I don't take my days so seriously that I wouldn't screw up like that, though!

　Marie said, "Mookie! I walked back into the ship with a look on my face, as if to say, "I'm not sure I'm going to be able to do that.

　I remained on deck with Luxion.

　I look up and see a large Republic ship approaching us from overhead.

'An intimidating bunch, aren't they?'

"The kingdom of Holfert has been licked.

　This kind of approach was rude.

　Usually, they would match the same altitude and approach side by side.

''Well I hope it doesn't get you into trouble.

　I hope that the main character of the next movie, which we have yet to see, has successfully seduced a man.

　At the same time, I wanted this study abroad program to end without incident.
