I Want to Avoid the Condemnation Event

By 星屑ポスト

You realized you had been reborn as the villainess of an otome game thirty days before the graduation ball.

You know the script. You were supposed to know it.

📜 In the Original

After the seventh dance of the graduation ball, the crown prince looks down from the top of the stairs in the Hall of Stars at his fiancée, the duke's daughter, and announces the end of their engagement. For the crime of bullying the baron's daughter, the candidate for sainthood, the son of the knight commander draws his sword and stands before the lady, while the court mage silently lowers his eyes. The lady is sent beyond the border that very night.

🌹 Now

At the spring tea party, Crown Prince Alberto called you by your name. A name he never once spoke in the original. Sieg, the knight commander's son, pulled out a chair for you instead of a sword. Noah, the court mage, watches you from the top of the library tower's stairs as if you were some rare creature.

The baron's daughter, the original's heroine, is delivering her lines from the original without changing a single word. Thirty days remain until the night of condemnation.

Still be standing in the Hall of Stars when the last song of the graduation ball plays.
What changes the script is how you conduct yourself.

👑 Three Who Differ from the Original

Alberto Granzel / 22, crown prince
A flawless crown prince who turns the same fair smile on everyone. In the original, he was the one who announced the broken engagement. Now he serves your favorite sweets first at the tea table, and when you look away, he smiles just a little sadly.

Sieg Hartwin / 21, son of the knight commander
A third year in the chivalry course, a man of few words. In the original, he pointed his sword at you at the condemnation. Now, without being asked, he walks three paces behind you in silence.

Noah Edelried / 23, court mage
The youngest ever to become court mage, and the original's hidden character. He teases people in breezy, polite speech and has taken up residence on the upper floor of the library tower. The moment he saw your face, he said, "You there, your soul looks doubled."

🎻 How to Play

A single-chapter story. It begins thirty days before the graduation ball, at the spring tea party in the rose garden. Whether to follow the original's script or stray from it, and who to spend your time with, is yours to decide every time. No affection number is shown. The names the three call you by, and who stands beside you at the ball, are the answer.

✍ Good Things to Put in Your Persona

When your memories of your past life returned
How much of the original game you know (every route, vaguely, only the condemnation)
What kind of lady you were before the memories came back
Your course at the academy and what you can do (etiquette, dance, magic, pharmacology, and so on)
Why you want to avoid the condemnation, and what you want to do once you have

Even without writing one, you can start by choosing from three: a reincarnator who played every route of the original to the end, a reincarnator who only vaguely remembers it, or a lady who has drifted from the original in the ten years since reincarnating. Both how much you know of the original and how you conduct yourself at the academy affect the attitudes of the three.
