âYouâre cute.â Damian smiled, pinching my cheek slightly so that it wouldnât hurt.
Ding!

[Itâs now!! Kiss him!!!!]
If I did such a thing to Damianâs meaningless skinship, my end would be assassinated by him. I didnât even want to kiss him in the first place.
âLook. Youâre making a blank face again.â
This wasnât a blank expression but an expression of looking at the support window with an absurd remark written on it. I couldnât explain it like that, so I just looked down at the magic book.
However, Damian wasnât tired of playing with my hair and occasionally talked to me. âYou said you were going to the Sun Palace this week, right? Arenât you nervous?â
âItâs natural to be nervous.â
Iâm afraid Iâll die.
Today was already Friday, and two days later I had to see the emperor. The thought of facing the crazy tyrant alone distracted me from reading the magic book.
Itâll be fine. Itâll be fine.
I was fine being in front of the archdemon but in front of the human emperor⌠I didnât think I would be okay. Huhu. Since I received the invitation, I couldnât avoid attending it.
I relaxed by studying magic that was useful in practice as much as possible in case of an unexpected situation. Damian got up first as I put the book in my bag.
âI think itâs almost time to start the lecture. Shall we go?â
âYes, letâs go.â
When I got up after him, Damian held out his arm with a mischievous smile. âLink your arms around me, Lady. Iâd like to escort you to the main building.â
I couldnât help laughing at the sudden prank. Indeed, whatever the handsome men did was interesting. But apart from the pleasant feeling, I refused, pushing his arm away.
âNo. Being seen by Mimosa will only hurt my head.â
Due to things like the student council and escort wizard these days, Mimosa was barking at me like an angry wild cat.
âAah.â
Damian dropped his gaze obliquely as if he was contemplating something with a smile on his face. That was an expression of contemplating how to deal with an annoying opponent. And usually, when he made that expression, his choice always leaned toward the direction he was comfortable with, that is, to get rid of the annoying things.
Oh my. I quickly linked Damianâs arm to protect Mimosa. âOn second thought, I donât think I need to be troubled as Iâm receiving an escort from my escort wizard.â
As I clung to his arm, Damian erased his gloomy eye and smiled brightly as if he had been given a sedative.
The emperor is not the only problem. This guy and that guy are all problems. It was my sin to make them like that.

I stared at the olive-colored carriage with a dazzling presence from afar with cold eyes. If anyone sees it, theyâll think the imperial family has visited. I heard that the carriage itself had become legendary in Valhalla, not just a famous one.
In front of the legendary carriage, Libby, who was born as a noble lady, was surrounded by male students.
âWhat are you doing this weekend? Would you like to come to my house to play?â
âNo, letâs go to the lake with me. Itâs a nice day to go on a picnic.â
âTake this flower. I bought it because it looks like you.â
âWhen are you going to give me an answer to my confession?â
It looked like the side characters were having a war.
I got up close to them with an upright posture. Then Libby, who was troubled but still making a friendly expression, found me and was very happy.
âSister!â
The male students shrugged their shoulders at the same time and looked at me stiffly. They looked so hazy that no one could be compared to Libby.
As I mentioned before, the protagonist is a being that requires an enormous amount of work cost. Of course, the work cost included labor costs. Naturally, my labor is included! Itâs even tremendous!
Were the side characters, who were automatically generated, trying to seduce her even without knowing their subjects?
The male students hurriedly backed away with pale faces, probably reading my eyes full of murderous intent.
âI-is your sister here? Then Iâll be on my way!â
As they left in a hurry, Libby tilted her head and soon approached me with a bright smile. âThis is the first time weâre going home together like this!â
âYes.â
I climbed into the carriage, watching the surroundings with a wary eye for anyone trying to approach Libby. âFrom now on, if any annoying guys approach, use me as an excuse. Most of them will back off on their own.â
At a time like that, you have to use Theresaâs notoriety. When else will you use it?
Libby laughed as if she thought I was joking.
Come to think of it, the current Libby can love someone even if that person isnât necessarily the male protagonist.
Honestly, the male protagonists have the charm of wanting to make you conquer them in the game. Still, in reality, they were characters who made your life difficult when you got involved with them.
So I became curious. âLibby, do you have any ideal type?â
âIdeal type?â
Maybe it was an unexpected question, but Libby tilted her head and put on a serious, worried expression.
âI like someone who is honest, quirky, and friendly.â
There arenât any male protagonists like thatâŚÂ All of them were gloomy and tyrannical guys hidden behind their masks.
âReally? But I donât think thereâs anyone like thatâŚâ
When I mumbled troublingly, Libby replied cheerfully. âThere is! Itâs Sister. I like someone like Sister.â Then she laughed about what was good.
I narrowed my brows. Itâs a big deal. Libbyâs eyes are really worse. Theresa wasnât honest but rude, she wasnât quirky but downright bizarre, and she walked a completely opposite path from friendly.
Ah. Is she referring to me after possessing Theresa? Even so, looking back on what I did when I was with Libby so far, I wasnât different from Theresa. I showed her nothing but bickering with my father and fighting with my friends.
It was when I threw my eyes out the window in confusion. ââŚGiuseppe?â
Outside the window, I happened to see Giuseppe surrounded by boys taller than him. I knocked the carriage to stop before I could even think about what the situation would be like. It doesnât look like a good situation at all.
âWhatâs going on, Sister?â
âGiuseppe is there.â
There was no time to explain further. Just looking at the atmosphere, it seemed that one-sided bullying would happen at any moment.
As I approached the boys, I began to hear them arguing with each other in high-pitched voices. I tried to call Giuseppe.
âYouâre not close to Princess Theresa.â
Until the boys mentioned me.
Do his friends have to talk about me when theyâre fighting? As I approached them curiously, I heard their words more clearly.
âThey said you would be the next duke. How are you going to beat your older sister, who controls the magical creature? You canât even purify the monster!â
âShut up!â
âMy dad said that you will be kicked out if the princess becomes the successor. Everyone knows that Princess Theresa hated her new family so much!â
âI told you to shut up!â
Giuseppe finally tried to cast magic, and the boys responded as if they had waited.
Many nobles saw this situation as it was a shopping district with high-end shops. Things would get out of control if the shopping district or nobles got caught up in this fight.
I put my index finger on my lips. âShh.â
This was a magic spell that destroyed the existing form. In order to use magic as simple as setting a hotkey, it had been improved as simply as possible through a few actions and short language.
âUb? Uub?!â
The boys were confused when their lips, which were about to chant a spell, suddenly stuck together.
âNow, cancel everyoneâs magic.â
And this was the second method I was developing. To use magic as if talking straight away.
Existing magic had to give specific commands through the most precise language. In order to use the same magic conventionally, an incantation such as âO magical power, cease thy creation and disappear!â was required.
This method also works in practice.
I approached the boys and moved my fingers from side to side. âAttention. You can talk now.â
ââŚOh, I can speak now!â
Giuseppe was also controlled by my magic, so as soon as he found me, he shouted with a furious look. âWhat are you doing! Release me right now!â
âNo. If I release you, you might fight again with magic.â
After saying that, I smiled at the boys, who were staring at me with a stunned look. âHi?â
The boys looked at me with bewildered expressions and burst into admiration.
âUhâŚâ
âWowâŚâ
Just then, Libby came to my side. âWhatâs going on?â
The boys looked at Libby and made another admiration.
Ding!
