The Incompetent Bratty Prince is out (3/4 chapters)
Protagonist Appears even though He isn’t Called

“Ouch…” (Liliana)
“A-Are you okay… huh!?” (Harold)
Reaching out my right hand in a hurry, I stiffened when I see her face as she sits up.
After all…
“N-No, I’m fine!” (Liliana)
The girl before me was Liliana Abbott, the female protagonist of ‘Engage Hazard: Girl’s Side’.
In fact, there is no other woman like her in this world with pink hair and onyx black eyes that would never exist in reality, and a slender but slightly unfortunate figure. She is the only one in the female-oriented series ‘Enhaza’’… or rather ‘Galhaz’. However, I had only activated the ‘Galhaz’ app to obtain special event rewards in my previous life, and I had only played up to the tutorial…
In other words, my information regarding ‘Galhaz’ is only the visual and name of her, the protagonist, and the fact that Cardis and others appear as capture characters. So, what am I supposed to do? Well…
“W-well… actually, I don’t know where the entrance ceremony is today…” (Liliana)
The protagonist, or rather, Liliana, said that while curling up like a small animal and looking up.
Oh, the name Liliana is the default name, and in ‘Galhaz’, players can freely change their names. Wilfred? That guy can also have his name changed by the player.
Putting aside such trivial information, what troubles me is the way Liliana appeared and her line. This is exactly the same as the encounter scene with the first capture character in the tutorial. In other words, it means that I, Harold, who does not appear at all in ‘Galhaz’, have taken the place of a capture character. What should I do?
By the way, the name of the capture character I took the spot from is Alan Stevens. He’s the second son of the Household of Marquis Steven, a self-absorbed hero. I don’t know anything else.
“…You. Don’t you know that the person you bumped into is His Highness Harold, the Third Prince of the Dehaubalz Kingdom?” (Alexandra)
“!?” (Liliana)
When Xandra announced my name in an alarmingly low voice, Liliana gasped.
By the way, I was also surprised in fear, even though I shouldn’t be involved.
“O-oh, is he a prince!?” (Liliana)
“Yes. He is the most wonderful, most capable, and most splendid person in this country. That is His Highness Harold… my fiancé, Haru-sama.” (Alexandra)
Xandra emphasized the part ‘my fiancé’ a lot.
This is undoubtedly her trying to take a mount over Liliana… no, maybe to eliminate her? In any case, she is wholeheartedly trying to crush the romance flag, which is the fire of misfortune that fell upon me.
“Well, I’m not worried about it, and I’m actually sorry for tripping you. We were just heading to the auditorium, so let’s go together.” (Harold)
“Y-yes!” (Liliana)
For now, I tried to change the atmosphere and cheerfully invited Liliana. Maybe she sensed it, as her expression softened.
Of course.
“Ah… heh heh.” (Alexandra)
I intentionally held Xandra’s small hand in front of Liliana, and the slightly sulky girl blushed happily.
I need to make this kind of appeal properly. I don’t want Xandra to misunderstand, and I need to make Liliana realize that I am not a capture target. So…
“Wow… it’s so big…” (Liliana)
As soon as we arrived at the auditorium, Liliana was lost for words at its vastness.
As I recall, she was an illegitimate child born between Baron Abbott and a maid, and her mother, who was pregnant with Liliana, left the Abbott Household and raised her single-handedly. Therefore, she lacks the manners and common sense expected of a noble, and that leads to the capture characters becoming interested and the story developing into a romance. This is a common trope in Otome games and female-targeted light novels, isn’t it?
Now… what should I do? To be honest, I don’t know what the scenario is like since I’m not well-versed in ‘Galhaz’. Based on my experience playing the tutorial, it is a romance RPG, like ‘Enhaz’, and the skills and mechanics are common, so I don’t think there are any issues in that regard.
However, I can’t determine if the main scenario centered around the protagonist, Liliana, is shared with ‘Enhaz’.
Thinking that way, it would be wise to keep my distance from Liliana and not get involved in the ‘Galhaz’ scenario. After all, Harold doesn’t even appear in ‘Galhaz’.
While I was thinking that…
“Saintess, is this where you have been?” (Wilfred)
…Wilfred showed up out of nowhere without anyone calling for him.
“Your Highness Wilfred. It’s been a while. But how did you know that I am studying abroad at the Royal Academy?” (Christia)
Her expression was cheerful, but the eyes of the Saintess were not smiling. Rather, even though it was supposed to be a secret, she seemed wary that he knew about Christia studying abroad in advance.
“Of course, I heard it from someone in the palace.” (Wilfred)
“I see. Then, could you tell me that person’s name? The Holy Kingdom will protest to the kingdom regarding the unauthorized leaking of information.” (Christia)
“!?” (Wilfred)
Wilfred, not expecting such a response, flinched. I thought Christia, while wearing the mask of the Saintess, would be friendly with Wilfred on the surface, but this was a bit surprising.
“…The Saintess said, ‘There’s no reason to be friendly with His Highness Wilfred, who is in opposition to His Highness Harold and Alexandra-sama, even if it is only on the surface’.” (Carla)
Carla came to my side and whispered softly in my ear.
I see… she shifted to flattering me wholeheartedly because Xandra was scary.
“Y-yes, I will punish that attendant as well. I have preparations for the new student greeting, so I will take my leave now.” (Wilfred)
Saying that, Wilfred hurriedly left for somewhere.
“Hehe… even after a year has passed since then, he’s still such a shallow person.” (Christia)
“Hehe, you understood it well.” (Alexandra)
Staring at Wilfred’s back, Christia chuckled. Xandra also smiled happily at Christia’s words.
It’s kind of scary.
