Trapped in a Dating Sim: The World of Otome Games Is Tough for Mobs (⼄⼥ゲー世界はモブに厳しい世界です)

The royal capital is farther than I thought.

How is the princess?

She's so exhausted, she can't even stand on her own.

Honestly, I can hardly believe she's still alive...

after summoning those guardians.

It's the border forces.

Sweep them aside.

Reverse course and retreat at full speed!

B-But if we run...

Do you know how the palace has treated us until now?

We're not obligated to fight! Run!

Retreat!

Hey! What about us?!

Wait!

Don't go!

Are you serious?

I don't feel good about letting the kingdom's people die.

I'm not about to stand idly by when I know so many will die.

Besides, it's something every boy dreams of doing once.

Being a supreme commander, I mean.

If You Don't Like It, I'll Just Run

Supreme commander?

To be frank, you lack credibility and experience.

My sanity will be questioned if I recommend you.

If you don't like the idea, I'll just run.

Can anyone else fill the position?

As things stand, you can't even get close to their forces.

You'll be wiped out.

To turn this situation around, I need the royal ship.

H-How do you know about that?

It was the driving force

behind the kingdom's founding, as well as its trump card, right?

Th-That ship isn't easy to use. It's a lost item.

I need it. Let me borrow it.

It's inoperable.

Neither the king nor I could make it work.

I'll use Prince Julius and Marie.

Gather the other four, too.

But she's awaiting her execution.

Then let's have them operate the royal ship before she dies.

We can't win without Livia on that ship.

Can you beat them?

Yes. For that, I'll need the royal ship and to be appointed supreme commander.

Marquis Frampton will object to the idea.

His faction is the largest at court. We have few allies.

Still, this is what we have to do.

Very well.

But promise me you'll return. Got it?

Yes, of course.

H-Honestly, I know we did this to ourselves,

but I wish other knights were as loyal as you.

You did it to yourselves?

What do you mean?

We placed too great a burden on many men,

especially the nobles in remote regions.

Very well.

I'll tell you everything.

I know I have few allies and can't expect much from them in battle.

Boys' Flower Garden

But it's okay.

I have the power of friendship.

Yeah, no.

We hid because we're scared of war.

Tons of nobles and knights are fleeing, too.

Nobody's willing to fight for this kingdom.

Right?

It's not like students can even fight.

I hope my family comes to get me soon.

Come on, guys! Where's your pride as nobles?!

Don't bother, Leon.

There's no reason to try so hard when you were arrested on false charges.

If the kingdom loses, we'll just serve the principality.

Right?

I heard men have more power over there.

Seriously? Then they have my allegiance.

Take a look at this!

A sales contract for a ship?

What about it?

You accepted my ships, didn't you?

Don't act like you forgot.

You know your ships can only be maintained at my family's factory, right?

You need them, right?

Are you really going to let go of your ships?

That'll hurt your marriage prospects.

Wha—

Plus, I'm going to fight the principality.

Do you think they'll just let you surrender

after you received combat-ready ships from me?

If I lose, they'll assume you're on my side.

They hate the kingdom.

You could end up enslaved or slaughtered.

But don't worry. I'll win.

Trust me!

Oh, fine! You never play fair, Leon!

You villainous knight!

Is that a compliment?

This sucks!

I knew those contracts were a trap!

You're a fiend!

The devil himself!

You see that, principality?

This is the power of friendship.

Mr. Leon is?

I've never heard of a student being made Supreme Commander.

Regardless, he's seeking the position.

Including Partner, he can only secure 20 ships for combat.

The kingdom's forces are unknown.

The temple's forces are exhausted from their recent failure.

We cannot count on them.

The rural nobles won't help him?

They have their hands full with the invasion.

Many have surrendered already, as they have little loyalty to the palace.

B-But why?

Because the lords were made to obey the kingdom by military force.

I wish I could ask my father for help,

but I may as well be disowned after dishonoring my family.

The duke's daughter is groveling alongside a commoner! Pathetic!

The Redgraves have fallen.

I'll find something I can do to help Leon.

Are you certain?

Yes. I trust Leon.

Angie is always looking forward.

Me, on the other hand...

What can I do?

Please! Take me with you!

Shut up! You've always looked down on us!

Let us on your ships!

The principality is attacking!

Let me on!

I don't want to die!

Children first! Quickly!

Dad!

Leon!

You're okay?

Yeah. I came because I was worried about you,

and I have a request for Dad.

Weren't you arrested? Did you break out of prison?

Yeah, right. They released me.

I was framed.

I already have the evidence to prove it.

The nobles who tried to win me over revealed

all kinds of things while trying to make a deal.

What's going on, Leon? Tell us.

Don't worry. I've got it handled.

You could've been executed.

Hey! How dare you hit my Miauler?!

This scumbag sold out my son.

He won't get away with it.

H-He sold him out?

Balcus! What are you doing?

Let us on your ship!

We have to retrieve our riches from the capital!

Are you ready?

W-Wait! Let me speak—

Silence.

He got what he deserved.

Anyone who harms those dear to me will pay.

Dad...

Rutart, this'll be your first battle.

As Zola's eldest son, you've lived a life of comfort.

That ends today.

You must defend your loved ones, too.

N-No!

Don't tell me what to do, you savage backwater noble!

That's right! Who do you think you're ordering around?

Who do you think has supported you until now?

Hand him over.

I'm sending him into battle as the eldest son of the Bartforts.

Wh-Who do you think you are?
