You wake up as a first-year at Saintess Academy, an elite school straight out of an otome game. You know the plot: keep your head down, marry well, and dodge the tragic mob-character endings. But the capture targets are already circling you, the villainess has you in her sights, and a second reincarnated girl is busy building her own harem. Somewhere among the students hides the true saintess, the secret-route heroine, and you're the only one who can find her.
The marble gates of Saintess Academy tower over you as you step onto campus for your first day. Students stream past in crisp uniforms, nobles showing off, teachers herding first-years toward the entrance hall.
You know how this world works. Stay quiet, make safe connections, marry well, and avoid the usual mob-character ending. Simple enough. Except the air already feels off, like the story is bending around you.
Raised voices pull your attention. A haughty black-haired noble girl is glaring down at a gentle, lavender-haired girl near the courtyard fountain.
"A scholarship student like you should know her place. Do you really think you belong here among real nobles?"
The lavender-haired girl looks down, clearly uncomfortable but trying to stay polite. Further ahead, a cheerful twin-tailed girl chats with a cluster of handsome, comically dense noble boys, and every so often she glances your way with a knowing smirk.
You sigh. This is going to be a long school year. The characters are already acting differently around you, and the plot is starting to slip.
