Unfortunately, Renmi did not attend me.
　Rather, she was physically unable to attend.
　She was no longer able to do so because she was being followed by the men who had been released by me.
''What kind of flag did you get! I'm running around and hiding while shouting "I'm not going to be able to do this!

　Because I'm able to stay in another world, Renmi hasn't given up on the hidden character attack.
　She probably thinks that this happening is an event or something.

"Hey, can you come with me?

　It was the fifth day that Ayana called me out.
　I was inwardly nervous that she would find out I was peeping in the bath, but that wasn't the case.
　I was introduced to Miss Selina in an empty classroom.

　Then Serena rolls her eyes at the encounter.

'Well. Have we met?

　Hmm?
　Last time I saw you, you were out cold, you were out cold.

No.
'Well, I beg your pardon. It's nice to meet you, Selina-Bronchneige. I've heard a lot about you.
Hi, I'm Ryoji Takahagi, a crappy otherworldly tripper.

　Scratching his head, he chuckled at the situation, which was the first time they had greeted each other since the fifth day.

'Thank you for all the accommodations you've made,'
Don't thank me.

　I've already seen your unkempt body many times as a reward.

Well, I was wondering if I could talk to you about... About my, um... accidental death.

　Mistress Selina looks down while holding back her trembling hands and mutters in a faint voice.
　When Ayana gently taps me on the shoulder, I look up with a huff.
　When we nodded at each other as if to make an agreement, Miss Selina looked straight at me with her strong-willed eyes.

''Perhaps I will be assassinated.
Assassination...

　The truth of the accidental death was actually an assassination... well, that's more convincing than the fact that the duchess died by accident.

In that case, the culprit is Prince Are you right?
''No, because from the epilogue, Allen-sama is supposed to be so shocked that she's going to cut off her relationship with the heroine... or as we call it in this case, Renmi Hakumi.

　Oh, well, that's what I was talking about.

Of course, it's not impossible that the Hand could have been clever. I'm a duchess, if not a commoner. I don't think it's unthinkable that one of my men did it on their own.

　Ayana nodded, so I guess that means I can believe that in a pattern.

'Then who do you think it is?'
The one that seems most likely is the Second Prince, Lady Drake.
Drake?

　Come to think of it, I think his name came up once in a while.

''I've only met him once, unfortunately, but he was a rugged man full of wildness. I've often heard it said that the man who truly cares about this country is Prince Drake. I'd hate to think it was that man, but I can't think of anything else in particular.
Hmm. What good would it do him to kill you?
'I can unseat Lady Allen. If the engagement is formally annulled, but I'm in the middle of a pending session. Then you can make me the deceased while you still can.
That would be the First Prince's downfall.

　Ostensibly, Miss Selina will be declared an accidental death.
　But of course there will be a rumor that she might have been killed. If the intention is to oust them, the assassination team should actively spread the information.
　If it's an assassination, the first suspects are Prince Are and Hasumi, considering the circumstances.
　Since the second prince Drake or something like that isn't in this school, no evidence will come out unless the relationship with the perpetrator is brought to light.
　Normally, they wouldn't make a mistake that could be traced back to them.

　But as long as the truth about the accidental death is not revealed, Prince Are's suspicions will never be cleared.
　If that happens, I'll have no choice but to cut off my relationship with Hasumi....
　It seems to make sense, though.

''Does the noble family that has a close relationship with Drake also attend the school?
Yes, of course it is.

　So you can use the perpetrator in the school?
　Hmm, in that case, I don't have to leave.

In that case, I'll need you to continue to guard me. I'll let you know if there's any suspicious activity but I'll try to approach it from a different direction on my own.

　And that's exactly what I'm going to do, and that's the only way I can do it.

Oh, um...!

　I was stopped in my tracks as I was about to leave the classroom.
　When I looked back over my shoulder, Miss Selina was in tears.

'How could you do that to me?　I don't have any ties to you...

　Certainly this one has nothing to do with the pledge.
　It's my complacency, a futile and pointless extension of my own.

'Mr. Selina,' he said, 'I'm not working for you. I don't really work for you, you know.

　Part of me is sorry that I saw you naked, but that's not all.

'It's fate, it's inevitable. It's a forced event, or an infinite loop. It's simply disgusting to think that someone would die for such a stupid reason.

　All that stuff is bullshit.
　I won't feel better if I don't screw them over.

'Or are you not going to reach out to someone in the same situation as you when they're trying to fight their fate?
No.

　Although she often stared into the air in dismay at my question, Miss Selina barely responded with a tearful voice.

'I'm sure she would like to do what she can to help. I think you would think so.''
You're a good man, you know that?

　There's no way I'm a badass daughter.
　She's a far cry from me, she's a softie without a bottom.

　Mr. Tanaka is right.
　Helping people like that is what I'm supposed to be doing, isn't it?
　Well, the sad reality is that there are too many trashy people for me to be a hero of justice.

'Well, feel like you're on a big boat. As long as I'm on your side, I can't kill you, even if you're a reaper.



　That night, I was biting down in front of my laptop.
　On the screen, in a decorated font, was the words, "Heartbreaking ☆ Handsome Prince! It is described as.

　That's right, I installed the data from the other world that I analyzed into my laptop and recreated the game software.
　But this is different from the original "Heartburn".
　I intervened and made a game out of this other world itself, which is being altered.
　In other words, I can refer to flags and scenarios from the future of this world.

　To tell the truth, until I talked to Miss Selina earlier, I thought the accidental death event was just something to look forward to later, but then I changed my mind.
　When it comes to this, I'm going to do it thoroughly.

　Besides, console commands alone are inconvenient in terms of referentiality to search for future scenario flags and IDs.
　So I decided to convert it to a complete digital copy of the data.
　This would reveal the future scenario that I wanted to see, that is, the "truth of the accidental death".
　That's what I thought, and that's what I did.

"Ha ha ha....awful. That's awful.

　A dry smile breaks out on my face.
　After running the analysis software, what was revealed was a sloppy reality that the player couldn't see.

'You think this is a game?　Scenario titles and flag management are a mess...

　I'm not an expert in programming languages or anything like that either.
　Thanks to the translation cheats, I can make sense of it, that's about it.
　No, that's why I was able to understand with my senses how the program of "Chest Yagaa" is full of shoddy things.

　The reason it took me so long to analyze it wasn't because of my weakness.
　I'll assure you that it wasn't my weakness. This other world is buggy.
　Otherwise, do you think this is a specification?　

　In addition, I've seen programmers complaining about the number of days it takes to make a game and the deadline in places that have nothing to do with the game, like a diary.
　These three words appear over and over again in memos that make you feel bad.
　And when this was left, it was confirmed.

'Has this otherworldly creator god transplanted the game straight to the 'stars'? Without altering or modifying a single thing.

　Any creator god usually doesn't cut corners that much.
　They create some groundwork and then overwrite the data where it's needed.
　Because if they don't, they'll have an empty horizon outside the game.

　
　In other words, this nobleman's academy is a boxed garden other world.
　Once you leave the academy, there is no such thing as a kingdom, and those that go outside the academy will disappear, and after some time, people with the same memories will reappear. Of course, the memories of the outside world are implanted in them.
　The energy given by Gaff and the 'stars' will be enough to compensate for that. After all, the world itself is so small that it consumes little energy.

　Moreover, once the ending is reached, this different world seems to circle (loop) as long as the player is there.
　The opening begins again, and it begins with Hakumi Renmi's trip.
　So the events up to that point are rendered meaningless and the game starts from zero again.
　This occurs even if you kill Renmi Shirakai. Because "Heartburn" has a dead ending. Since even death is a type of ending, Renmi seems to come back to life at the opening.

　Maybe Renmi Shirami has seen all of the non-hidden routes to the ending.
　It's understandable if you think that the imposing attitude at the graduation party was backed by the knowledge she gained through repeated rounds... a kind of confidence.

　But then, I have no idea what the purpose of the creator of this different world was.
　Could it be that he simply wanted to recreate the game?
　The hidden route seems to automatically generate scenarios from what we're seeing now, but that's just a minimal function that Star's Will prepares to add up--

...Is that what you're saying?

　What's the point of that?
　Does the God of Creation, like Hakkai Renmi, want to see what's ahead (...)?
　Are you trying to create a true ending to a hidden route by auto-generating a world using the benefits provided by Star's Will?
　That's ridiculous, that would take a tremendous number of laps. What kind of passion is this........


　-- It looks like the message board on the official website has gone up in flames.


　Suddenly, I remember Ayana's words.

''Come to think of it, is the Genesis God here himself a player?

　Then the chestnut creator god would have taken out his anger on the official side.
　He might have posted on a flaming message board.
　In the end, the DLC was never released to the world, and Soseijin never got to see the ending he wanted.
　We didn't even get to meet the hidden characters.


　--I heard that the hidden character was the second prince Drake-Ovan, who was a popular character but didn't have a strategy route, but the official side denied this, so it seems that a completely different character was prepared for the game.


　Why did the official side deny it in the first place?
　If a popular character might be coming to the DLC, it would create a buzz.
　If a different character is coming, players will still complain but they'll still play it...
　Maybe there were so few scenes that they couldn't very well lie about them appearing in the game?


　--I've only met him once, unfortunately, but he was a wild and rugged man. I've often heard that the person who truly cares about this country is Prince Drake.


　The fact that Selina only met him once means that Drake doesn't attend the academy.
　As long as he hasn't come to the academy, the only opportunity for Miss Selina to meet him should be 'outside the game'.
　On the contrary, if it was when 'the game hadn't started', then the memory of meeting her is definitely something that was planted by the world.

　But there is a contradiction.
　If Drake doesn't appear in the game, then he can't be a 'popular character' like Ayana says he is.

　........Then of course Drake-Ovan would have appeared in the game as well, right?

　That's what logic says.
　There's a Pandora's box of truth in front of us, and the lid is popped open.
　Let's do a search for "Drake".

　I searched for "Drake" and found it easily.

"Oh, right, the reminiscence scene!

　Sure, you don't have to be in the school, but you can still appear in the 'past' that characters in the school reminisce about!
　Moreover, it is a recollection from the point of view of the villainous daughter, Miss Selina-Bronchneige.
　Then it fits with Miss Selina's testimony.

　You're right, I'm curious to see what kind of scene it is.
　That's why I played it back.

'Haha, hahaha. Hahahahahahahaha!

　I laughed too hard.

　I finally figured it out!
　I don't know why I've been called to this other world by Renmi!
　Why did Renmi Hakumi conveniently mistake me for a 'hidden DLC character'!
　And ... why did I think that Miss Selina had met me before!

　A scene from Selina-Bronchneige's past reminiscence.
　The man with the gleaming smile in the event CG.


　In other words, Drake-Ovan looked exactly like me.


Selina Bronschneige. Don't you reach out to your people when they're sick and starving?
And he even says the same thing!

　I giggled and flicked the mouse to advance the scene.
　It's as if I've really become a character in an otome game.
　Starring, Ryouji Sakagagi!　We want our money. We want our money!
　I mean, I'm going to sue the production company for portrait rights.

　Come to think of it, the only people who recognized me as Drake were two of the players.
　Maybe Renmi Hakumi didn't think I was the same Japanese. She thinks I'm Drake-Ovan, a hidden character who's a snobby janitor, and she thinks I'm Drake-Ovan. The setting that Renmi mumbled about when she heard my story doesn't mean that she found out about my background, it just means that Drake prepared it for her. In other words, a misunderstanding.
　I don't know about the Selina girl, but it's a bit of a rote memory. My recollections of her as a player and my memories of her as a villainous daughter are mixed up.

　And probably none of the people in this other world have ever met Drake.
　There was no Prince Ale Prince in the recollection scene. So we don't know or question what Prince Ale looks like, only that he is aware that he has a brother according to the setting, and we don't know what he looks like.

　In other words, Drake-Ovan is not real.

'As expected, it's not like it's a non-existent young man plotting an assassination attempt.

　So, it's an accidental death.
　Then what's suspicious is the auto-generated event by "The Star's Will".
　He follows the text that Miss Selina will die and kills her to make sense of it.
　There is no intention or emotion there. It just happens because it does.

　People, it's called fate.

'Selina's accidental death was before the graduation ceremony. Let's try to kidnap all the events generated today and the sixth day...

　I typed away at the keyboard in an uncontrolled state of enjoyment, which seemed bizarre to me.
