After Starting a Thread as a Reincarnated in an Unknown Otome Game, I Got Caught in a Battlefield of Beauties - Chapter 19: Storm of Shame

Chapter 19: Storm of Shame

777: Former Earthling

[Bad News]

Leticia barged in at the worst possible moment.

778: Anonymous Earthling

What do you mean by the worst possible moment? LOL

779: Anonymous Earthling

Depending on the situation, we might need to take down Itchi… are you okay with that?

780: Anonymous Earthling

>>779

I’ll bring a chainsaw then.

781: Anonymous Earthling

>>779

Then I’ll take a sword.

782: Anonymous Earthling

Everyone’s got such murderous intent, it’s hilarious.

783: Former Earthling

>>778

I was on my knees, refusing the princess’s marriage proposal. The kind-hearted princess lifted my head and gently held my hand.

At that moment, Leticia showed up, ready to abandon her home to help me. 

She saw me holding hands with the princess and lost it. 

That’s where we are now. What should I have done?

784: Anonymous Earthling

LOL, it’s over.

786: Anonymous Earthling

This is more chaotic than I imagined, lol.

787: Anonymous Earthling

It can’t be helped… I’ll forgive you this time.

788: Anonymous Earthling

I do feel bad for Itchi, but if I were in Leticia’s place, I’d be pretty mad too.

789: Anonymous Earthling

So, in the end, it’s all Itchi’s fault?

790: Anonymous Earthling

Forget that, Leticia’s too pure and it’s making me tear up.

791: Anonymous Earthling

For real! Even though she’s only been engaged to Itchi for two days, she was ready to abandon her home to help him. That’s seriously amazing.

792: Anonymous Earthling

I want a wife like that, LOL. But I know it’s impossible, LOL.

793: Anonymous Earthling

>>792

You okay? Wipe your tears on my shoulder.

794: Anonymous Earthling

>>792

I totally agree, lol.

795: Former Earthling

Anyway, can someone give me a way to get out of this crisis?

796: Anonymous Earthling

>>795

How would we know? 

We’ve never experienced something like that.

797: Anonymous Earthling

>>795

Figure it out yourself, Itchi. 

And just so you know, it’s not because I’m jealous or anything.

798: Anonymous Earthling

Everyone’s being harsh, LOL. But yeah, we’re in the same boat, so all we can say is good luck, LOL.

799: Anonymous Earthling

Why don’t you just explain everything that happened? 

Or maybe confess again?

800: Anonymous Earthling

Doing this in front of the king and the princess just makes it even harder, lol.

801: Anonymous Earthling

Leave it to me. 

I’ve conquered many girls.

.

In dating sims, that is.

802: Anonymous Earthling

That last sentence makes it so pathetic, LOL.

803: Anonymous Earthling

Asking us about such a complicated romance situation is useless. Probably 80% of us have never had a girlfriend.

804: Anonymous Earthling

For real, LOL.

805: Anonymous Earthling

If we had girlfriends, we wouldn’t be here.

806: Anonymous Earthling

That’s the truth, lol.

“—ALTO…?”

“L-Leticia…”

Disappointed by how unreliable the forum members were when it came to romance, I let go of Lara’s hand and took a step back as Leticia stormed towards me. 

Being in the same room meant I was cornered, and Leticia’s cold eyes pierced into mine as she leaned in.

“Alto… what exactly were you doing just now? We’ve only been engaged for a day, and… are you cheating?”

“No, of course not! Who do you think confessed to you? Without my overwhelming feelings for you, I wouldn’t have cheated to get into the academy or confessed in front of the prince and duke’s son as a mere viscount!”

“…”

I immediately denied the false accusation.

In fact, I hadn’t even mentioned wanting to marry Lara. I was in the middle of rejecting her. I could confidently say I wasn’t cheating.

But even though Leticia blushed slightly at my words, she still seemed doubtful, giving me a suspicious look.

“Even so, I can’t trust anything coming from you after seeing you all over Hecate just a while ago. And just now… weren’t you happy when Princess Lara held your hand?”

Leticia’s eyes were accusatory, making me shiver inside.

—H-How did she find out…!?

At least, I thought I didn’t show it on my face. 

And it was just for a moment before I thought of Leticia, and with her barging in, I didn’t have the luxury to think of anything else. But she still figured it out… is she a mind reader or something?

While I was too shocked to speak, Leticia looked down sadly, as if she had realized something.

“…Of course, I understand. Men often wish to be surrounded by many girls. But… you could have talked to me about it at least—”

“—Wait, hold on! I don’t feel that way! I only have eyes for you, Leticia!”

“…Eh?”

I interrupted Leticia, who seemed to be misunderstanding something. I felt incredibly embarrassed, but I decided to go with it.

I confessed to Leticia again, who was looking confused after hearing my words.

“Sure, anyone might get a bit flustered by a beautiful girl, but the one I love is Leticia! I don’t want to marry anyone but Leticia!”

The room fell silent, and I felt a strange sense of accomplishment. I said it… I’m dying of embarrassment, but I said it all…

I hope that was enough for you, forum members.

I couldn’t look at Leticia for a few seconds due to the embarrassment. But since there was no reaction, I glanced at her and…

“…W-what’s with you…”

Her eyes were wet and trembling, and she hid her red face behind her hand in embarrassment. 

The sight made my heart skip a beat. But before I could recover, Lara spoke up, adding to Leticia’s embarrassment.

“Leticia, everything Sir Alto said is true. He just refused me because he’s engaged to you.”

“〜〜〜!!”

The moment Leticia heard those words, she realized her mistake and couldn’t bear the shame any longer. 

She covered her face with her hands and crouched down, her whole body shaking with embarrassment.

“L-Leticia…?”

“D-Don’t… t-talk to me right now…! …I’m overwhelmed with happiness.”

Her voice was muffled and shaky. 

I couldn’t catch her last words clearly, but her embarrassed, slightly childish tone was honestly adorable.

While I found Leticia’s reaction cute, Lara’s constant, cheerful smile as she watched was a bit scary, but I kept that to myself.

—————————————————————————

Here’s a shocking truth: It’s not even the end of day two yet, and the engagement is still unclear. So, what will Itchi do next?
