I Appear to have been Reincarnated as a Love Interest in an Otome Game

Seeing that I did not show antipathy to becoming a bait, the tense atmosphere surrounding Jackie loosened somewhat.

Since it would normally be lse majest to suggest such a thing to a prince of a country. Though he looked casual, he was in truth rather nervous.

Even so, he must have been quite desperate, to bet on my response

It just meant that we are in dire straits now.

According to Jackie, Henry and Brads aims do not match. Henry strongly desires to bring harm to me. In contrast, Brad is fine with whomever.

Thus, wanting to eliminate me, he planned on handing me over to Brad as tribute.

For example, say that Louis and I were caught just as Henry planned.

Then, Henrys objective is achieved. Also, upon learning that her brother and I are caught, Angelica will most definitely dive into the enemys position, without anything

If Louis and I get caught, it would also mean that Daniel will have his hands tied.

Then Brads objective too will be achieved

Quite an intricate plan for Henry.

Then, what benefits do we get if we become bait?

The targets of Brads obsession is currently Louis, Daniel(?), Angelica, Michelle and me.

And in this situation in which we do not know who he will aim for nor when he will strike, its hard to deal with that.

One that would have the fruit must climb the tree, they say. Ill take this chance and crush them all in one fell swoop! (TN: raw says, , which in a direct translation would mean, one that would catch tiger cubs must enter a tigers den.)

Lets put some spirit into it, and steer the talk towards the baiting!

.

That idiot Prince, he plans to kidnap Your Highness and Louis-dono while Your Highnesss butler Daniel is keeping an eye on Brad. They also want my help in it, to lure you into the room, apparently.

Huh? Whats with that childs trickery. Do they really think that they can get away with such a lax plan?

Still reeking of a small fry, Henry

Do you not think that is a trap? Maybe they have already planned a step or two further

H~m really? They were preparing anti-magic barriers for the room as well as some strong aphrodisiacs from our country and some various prince collections? I thought they were really strange, to be able to chat happily while holding such suspicious things

What the hell! Scary!!

Jackie said that casually, but he was gently pressing his forehead and shaking his head in disgust.

I also ended up grabbing my head in pain.

I had though there might be something more, but there did not seem to be.

Just vulgar? Just suspicious?

Using such things on us!?

The three of us stared off into the distance. Michelle probably didnt understand our conversation, just having a blank expression.

If theyre using such things, I have to do something quickly before anything happens to Angelica!!

My Angelica is going to get tainted just by thinking of those things! What if she gets pregnant!?

.

Fuu. I knew that itd come down to this, but the question is, when are we going to do it? We have to prepare some things too various things, like guards, or guards! Or guards!

Louis too must have been thinking of Jessica. He looks sickly. Also, we too are placed in maximum danger.

If there is an anti-magic barrier, then does that mean that we cant use our trump card Daniel?

Anti-magic tools are designed to counter Daemons and magic tools. As long as one is in this barrier, only physical ability is not hampered.

I have confidence in my swordsmanship, and I also know some martial arts. I can protect myself to some extent.

However, if they use aphrodisiacs from the neighbouring country, Im helpless

Their aphrodisiacs are known for being odorless, tasteless and volatile. Thus, its hard to tell when and where it is being used.

Normally, one would carry around antidotal magic tools, and butlers would prevent harmful substances so there usually is no damage from poison

If there is an anti-magic barrier, then one will be rendered helpless against aphrodisiacs.

I realise that it is a risky proposal. However, if we do not take action now, there will not be nay way to help one another in times of need

Indeed. If we move rashly, we will all be caught..

Is this really a problem we can solve by ourselves?

Trying to find a walkthrough for this impossible game, we got lost in thought for a moment.

But as Louis said, if theyve prepared this much, we cant take care of this just by ourselves.

If we can prove that theyre planning to use the tools and aphrodisiacs on us, we can take other measures, but we cant do that.

There are quite a few nobles who use aphrodisiacs to enjoy intercourse. Though some aphrodisiacs are prevented, its not possible to punish them just with aphrodisiacs.

It was the same in Japan, things made for people convenience can be abused for malicious purposes.

The things Henry prepared this time was also like that, just normal stuff.

Just that hes using it for malicious purposes. I wonder if his small fry nature is finally showing its villainous side?

Daniel, are their any good countermeasures or magic tools?

Unable to think up a solution, I put both hands behind my head and stretched back as I asked Daniel for his opinion.

Hes the best butler in history, he might know some countermeasures or magic tools to use against barriers.

But if Daniel also doesnt have a plan, well have to give up on the baiting plan. Then, the only choice left is to abuse my power

If possible, I want to avoid having to resort to that.

I want to avoid the reputation of a tyrant prince. However, even thats a small price to pay for Angelica

When I let out a sigh thinking such things, as if to cover it up, Daniel said,

Then, how about this plan, sir?

Suggesting a plan proving Daniels real worth, as a mischievous grin formed on his face
