For the fourth time...
The first time, I was like a fresh-faced college graduate and chose the noble, kind Second Princess.
When she said she wanted to give everything up and become a saint, I foolishly followed her.
"Chris, will you come with me?"
"As long as you can pay me."
"Hehe, I can more than afford your salary."
"Stop! Please, everyone! It's all my fault! I... I'm just a useless princess born to a commoner! Punish me instead! Please, Chris... Make it stop...!"
The second time, I chose the First Princess, who seemed like a safe bet.
"Now that you've joined my order of knights, I guarantee you wealth and prestige."
In the end, I watched her turn back halfway and fall on the battlefield with me in her arms.
There's only one option left. Surely I can't get it wrong again.
"I long for true peace. I want to create a world without war."
"As you wish."
"I can already see the world you've envisioned... Your Highness."
"No... No..."
I returned once again to the afternoon before graduation.
I'm done playing. I'm running away!
The creepiest part is that this time, the princesses all remember me.
And they've locked me in the basement, taking turns trying to win me over by force and persuasion.
The increasingly assertive First Princess:
"You've turned into a girl? Then it'll be easier to push you down... I mean, you're even cuter now."
The Second Princess, who bursts into tears every time she sees me:
"Don't go... Chris, please, stay by my side. Don't ever leave my sight..."
And the Third Princess meows at me all day long.
"Want me to feed you mouth-to-mouth? Ahh~~ Meow."
...Just let me go.
