âGraduation ceremony of Reed Royal Academy-
Originally it should have been sad, saying goodbye to his friends and departing for his new journey.
However, the atmosphere was as heavy as a court hearing due to the crown prince, Jason.
â-These are the wrongdoings youâve committed. A woman like you canât be left in charge of the future! I hereby break my engagement with the Marquis of Windsor Pamela! Your sins are unforgivable! To ensure that no one in the future commits the same deeds as you, I hereby order you to a public execution!â
Those words definitely cut off the relationship they had so far.
However, before the people present could respond and twist the wordsâŠ.
The voice of a single man broke the silence.
A young man let out a scream full of joy.
It was Isaac, the son of the Marquis of Welrod, who was well known for his eccentricity and peculiar behaviour ever since his early childhood.
There he stood with both arms high while doing the so-called Colombian pose.
(As planned ⊠I came here and cleared the engagement cancellation event. With this, the connection between the royal family and aristocrats will be completely broken. If the plan proceeds as expected from here, Iâm sureâ)
Why did he know that all this would happen?
It was because this world was the world of otome games that his sister played in the previous life.
-Osamu Takahashi, 24 years old-
A normal full-time employee of an izakaya chain with two days off per week.
After failing all his job interviews, he ended up getting a job in this chain after graduating from college.
On the days when part-time workers take off without any reason he hopes that bad luck befalls them and they get killed.
He is a second grade member of society who doesnât even have time to read novels, manga or even attend to his hobbies. All of his free time is spent resting his weary body.
Sometimes after finishing his usual shift from 9am to 7pm he feels a bit envious towards his friend who works for a trading company.
The fact that he also earns enough to be able to afford the latest brain-wave interference type VR equipment just adds to the feeling of envy.
Osamuâs sister entered his room.
His sister whoâs in her second year of high school came into his room to use his computer even though he is sleepy after work.
It was to play a game she borrowed from her friend.
âMasami, is it a game again?â
âThatâs right, Itâs not like my dear Onii-chan has something that would get him in trouble if someone sees it, does he?
âI donât have anything like that on my computer so do as you like.â
(Itâs on an external hard disk so you canât see it anyway.)
Being an ill-mannered younger sibling, she rarely considers that her actions invade her brotherâs privacy.
Before falling asleep he caught a glimpse of the cover of the game his sister brought in, which made him quite worried regarding her future.
The cover was the cliched cover of otome games where a group stands and smiles with the main character being the main focus.

â⊠What with that Tibetan fox-like character?â
âThatâs the protagonist. Heâs the protagonist of the game â To the end of the world with you ââ.
âYouâre lying, this? If I were to appear in this game then Iâd definitely choose that aristocratic-daughter like character. Even if the plotline leads to a bad ending Iâd definitely choose that one.â
Osamu recommended the supporting character drawn on the back.
The design of that character was a bit feminine, but at least it looked much cuter than the main character.
âThe theme of this game is predatory love. Itâs a game where you capture and steal male characters from template characters who are popular with men.â
âSeriously! Why are you playing such a game? This makes me worried about your future⊠I think itâs better to play games where you polish yourself up and confess to the crown prince, right? â
Osamu worried about her sister.
Predatory love only gives rise to unhappy humans.
Although it was just a game, he didnât want his sister to play it that much.
However, it seems that the brotherâs feelings of concern over his sisterâs future didnât reciprocate with her.
âWhat are you saying? Everything is a competition now. Things wonât be set into motion if you donât polish yourself up. People are working hard everyday just to live. In reality you wonât succeed in taking someoneâs love away, so you have to do it in a game. â
Osamu was worried about his sisterâs personality, but then he realized that he had next to no romantic experience so he wasnât one who could talk all high and mighty about such a thing.
âItâs wrong because I think it is.â Osamu couldnât admit that.
However, he didnât even dye his hair and his underwear were all light blue and whites so he wouldnât be able to follow up on his argument with his sister if she said âitâs better for a manâ.
Having no energy to continue that conversation he retracted back into his futon.
The music and dialogues from who was apparently the target character reached his ears.
â Iâm the crown prince, I wonât tolerate that attitude. âŠâŠ Uh? Oh, thatâs okay then. Iâll forgive you â
â Are you trying to challenge me, the strongest? Huh, fine⊠Even though youâre a woman I wonât hold back! â
â Having intelligence is what separates a man from a beast. Now, which one are you? â
â What do you want? Youâre going out of your way to get involved with someone like me huh? Youâre a rather interesting person . â
â You donât realize who you are facing. Okay, Iâll be serious from now on then . â
âYouâre smiling too much.â
Osamu involuntarily got up and did a tsukkomi.
(TL note: Okay âTsukkomiâ, it refers to an action played generally by comedians where they âbutt inâ between someoneâs dialogue to deliver a remark or joke.)
âIf youâre going to sleep then donât butt in anymore.â
âI canât help it because I can hear it.â
âIf I donât go to bed early then I wonât be able to work properlyâ thinking that, Osamu covered his head with a pillow and closed his eyes.
Leaving home at noon and returning home by the first morning train.
This daily routine made him quite tired.
He was so drowsy that he could fall asleep even if someone was playing music right next to him.
However, he was a little too tired of the ikemen-voice from the game inviting him to sleep with a lullaby.
The same thing was repeated for several days after that.
He usually didnât care much, but for some reason the game Osamuâs sister played
â To the end of the world with you. â
He was curious about the so-called âyouâ, so he browsed the official website.
He didnât have time to play many games after his job so he took this quite seriously.
(Let alone a manâs point of view, this game is a shit game even from a womanâs point of viewâŠ)
The main scenario writer got selected just because he had relatives inside the company.
The main character being the primary selling point of the game just showed how amatuer the writer was.
To make the heroineâs liking become high, the prince will give unreasonable commands to the other âcapturedâ characters.
If they are unable to achieve the order then heâll curse in front of the heroine but ultimately forgive them for their failures and raise his appeal.
A hot-blooded young man who aims to be the strongest knight and goes on challenging anyone whoâs strong.
However due to his heritage, everyone around him takes extra care so that he doesnât get hurt.
â A person who has no intelligence is no different than a beast and thus has no right to live â, even though the main character proclaims this, his own grades are nowhere near the top.
His fiancé has a lot of interest in studies so he pretends like he does too.
However, the prince gets sullen when his fiancé performs better than him.
Whenever near the heroine, he lets out a meaningful laugh.
However, the prince doesnât think about anything, he just laughs because he thought itâd seem like heâs having deep thoughts if he did that.
He thinks he is a really competent person but his grades are really low for a crown prince.
A person who thinks he isnât doing good enough just because he isnât serious.
The official title features âGo menâ including the main capture character along other capture targets belonging to the same generation as the main character.
(⊠Are they apologizing?)
[TL note: Here the âGo menâ actually signifies the 5 main capture characters; it sounds similar to âGomenâ the japanese word for sorry.]
There were rumours of there also being a sixth character.
(Maybe the sixth character is just a ghost.)
Now matter how you looked at it, most of the characters would make you think âIs it worth capturing these guys?.â
Although many sub-characters could be captured, the main characterâs bad writing didnât make any sense to Osamu.
(Itâs nice to be a prince and all but, to plunder the love interest of othersâŠ)
If there were no sub-scenario writers on the net then itâd be just an art book.
Just because the voice actors were good it was decided that the game would be good as well. But that opinion was held by only a minority of people.
Most of the people online said that the voice actors were just wasting their time.
Afterall, a game needed good content in the game itself.
Basically the design was to attract a women audience, but somewhere along the way it gathered a male audience as well.
The daughters being robbed of their lovers was probably the thing that attracted men.
From Osamuâs perspective, the treatment of the daughters was completely unreasonable.
It was understandable if the captured characters were being taken away from villains, but even in that scenario getting robbed of your lover wouldâve been too pitiful.
The worst thing about the game was the princeâs endingâ
âThe scenery you can see from here is mine.â
âYes, itâs all ours.â
âBut ⊠there are other countries beyond the horizon.â
âHuh, youâre certainly greedy. Canât you be satisfied just by being the queen of this country? â
âI didnât mean just what is visible to us. â
âHuh, well then. I will give you everything till the end of this world. â
This was the last exchange ââ.
In the end roll, there were pictures of war, so it seemed that they started a reckless war.
But amidst that, only the regrets of the captured characters were visible.
Osamu was worried about his sister playing such a game.
