After Starting a Thread as a Reincarnated in an Unknown Otome Game, I Got Caught in a Battlefield of Beauties - Chapter 59: Alto, Unenthusiastic About the Cultural Festival

Chapter 59: Alto, Unenthusiastic About the Cultural Festival

For me, it was unusual… really unusual, but a week passed without incident. 

Sure, my classmates constantly avoided me, and I somehow couldn’t see Aria, but those were minor issues for me.

Aria was supposedly still attending the academy, so there was no need to worry too much.

However, I had one concern.

“…The cultural festival, huh…”

Yes, the cultural festival held at this academy.

It wasn’t just students and their families; various people would come.

From this, anyone with a bit of intuition could guess what I was worried about.

“—Something is definitely going to happen.”

This one sentence summed it up. 

I had finally come to understand.

I am always going to get caught up in something.

After all, this world is part of a game—though it doesn’t feel even a millimeter like an otome game to me, the forum members insist it’s a game world—so it must be.

Given that, there’s no way a big event like this could pass without something happening.

As for my class’s cultural festival preparations, the mood was either depressingly low or everyone was happily preparing while excluding me. So, I didn’t really care anymore.

I was a loner in my previous life too, so I never once thought that being reincarnated would mean I’d get to joyfully prepare for a cultural festival with everyone… Not even a little… Not at all!

…sniff.

“Huh, my vision is getting blurry… that’s strange, did my eyes rot?”

“…Contractor, I’m here with you. No matter what happens, we’ll always be together.”

“…That’s not exactly comforting.”

“Why!? I was trying to cheer you up in my own way!”

Hecate’s voice echoed through the empty classroom as usual. 

Today, Leticia was busy with cultural festival preparations, so it was just the two of us.

And why? The reason is obvious.

If I stay with this good-looking but troublesome spirit, I’ll definitely get caught up in all sorts of things.

In fact, about half of the trouble I’ve been in so far has been because of her.

“Ugh… I can’t argue because it’s true…”

“See? It’s because I’m with you that weird things keep happening.”

“No, no, you attract plenty of weird stuff on your own! Even if I wasn’t around, you’d still get into all sorts of trouble.”

“S-Stop… Don’t say scary things like that.”

…Maybe I should make a new type of bomb just in case.

This time, I want to create a bomb that only affects the target and doesn’t cause collateral damage. 

Usually, I end up blowing up all sorts of things and causing massive problems.

With Hecate’s magic, I might have a chance at pulling it off.

Oops, I got a bit off track.

Anyway, what I’m trying to say is… I’ve always relied on the forum members for help when things went wrong, but this time is different.

This time, I’ll avoid getting involved in any trouble and live a peaceful life like a regular student.

I’ll enjoy the festival with my fiancée Leticia and Lady Lara, wandering around the stalls like a couple.

—So, I decided to ask the forum members about the future.

1: Former Earthling

Guys, we have a cultural festival coming up… something is definitely going to happen, right?

2: Anonymous Earthling

It’s already that time… wait, is it really that time of year?

3: Anonymous Earthling

Oh yeah, the cultural festival. 

Wasn’t that before the middle of the story? LOL

4: Anonymous Earthling

So slow lololol.

I thought we were already in the endgame because of Itchi’s antics kek

5: Anonymous Earthling

Seriously, it’s hilarious that he’s managed to unlock both spirit gods so early, when it’s not even the middle of the story LOL

6: Anonymous Earthling

Totally lol. 

At this point, I almost admire how much Itchi has messed things up lololol

7: Former Earthling

I don’t care about the past.

Just tell me what’s going to happen at the cultural festival.

I really want to live a normal life for once. 

Honestly, with two fiancées and a lot of money, my life should be pretty stable.

8: Anonymous Earthling

Now that you mention it, Itchi has been living quite the successful life, huh.

It’s amazing how I’m not jealous at all, huh.

9: Anonymous Earthling

His constant screw-ups ruin all the good parts…

Itchi messes up no matter what he does…

10: Anonymous Earthling

Seriously lol. 

I can’t imagine Itchi not messing something up lolol.

11: Anonymous Earthling

Itchi, there’s an event at the cultural festival where the Holy Nation tries to kidnap Aria because she can contract with the Spirit God. 

During that event, it’s revealed that Aria has a contract with the Spirit God of Light. 

The attack happens on the last day of the three-day festival.

12: Anonymous Earthling

Here comes the expert!

13: Anonymous Earthling

Feels like it’s been a while since I’ve seen the hardcore player. 

Just knowing you’re here is reassuring.

14: Former Earthling

>>11

Thank you so much. 

Now I can prepare. 

I’ll show everyone I’ve grown!!

15: Anonymous Earthling

No way, that’s impossible lol.

16: Anonymous Earthling

Do you know what that’s called, Itchi? 

It’s called a flag.

17: Anonymous Earthling

It’s fine. 

We don’t have any expectations for Itchi’s growth anyway.

18: Anonymous Earthling

In fact, please keep messing up. 

It’s way more entertaining for us lol.

19: Anonymous Earthling

Itchi isn’t trusted by anyone lol.

Or maybe he’s trusted in a different way?

20: Anonymous Earthling

It’s impossible for Itchi not to mess up!! 

It’s Itchi we’re talking about! 

If he didn’t mess up, he wouldn’t be Itchi!

21: Anonymous Earthling

Exactly!! 

There’s no universe where Itchi doesn’t screw things up!!

22: Anonymous Earthling

There are some hardcore Itchi fans here, lol. 

But yeah, I also think Itchi will mess up no matter what.

23: Former Earthling

You guys are so rude!! 

Just watch, I’ll enjoy the festival with Leticia and Princess Lara without any problems!!

24: Anonymous Earthling

Oh, I’m looking forward to it, LOL.

25: Anonymous Earthling

It’s funny how you’re actually doing something enviable. 

But still, we’re counting on you to mess up, Itchi, kek.

—————————————————————————

Thank you so much for reading this far. Seriously, I appreciate it.

Long time no see, everyone. 

Before I knew it, exactly a month had passed since the last update. 

I was really surprised myself.

Well, I’ve been pretty busy with various things… but to be honest, I was just procrastinating.

However, I recently received a notification about a recommended review of this work.

I thought, “Ah, I really need to write… well, once I start writing, the story will progress on its own.” And, as expected, it did.

From now on, I’ll be posting at a frequency of about twice a week at best, and once a week at worst. I would be very happy if you could leave supportive comments or recommended reviews.

Honestly, I’ll probably procrastinate again in the future, but I promise to complete this work no matter what. 

Thanks for your continued support.
