“I refuse.” (Harold)

I said it clearly.

“Hehe♪ As expected of Haru-kun! You’re quick to decide… wait, whaaat!?” (Ulysses)

It seemed like Uly never imagined I’d refuse, and he screamed loudly.

“W-Why!? He’s the protagonist, right!? You can totally get back at those idiots you’ve been mocking with a big ‘serves-you-right’!” (Ulysses)

“But if I become the protagonist… then I won’t be able to stay engaged to Xandra, right?” (Harold)

The goal of Engage Hazard is to ‘bring the world’s best fiancée’. In other words, it means I’d have to go look for a fiancée. And that would mean I’d have to abandon my current fiancée.

“My fiancée is Alexandra of Chevalier, and only her. There’s no way I’m accepting this kind of proposal.” (Harold)

“Ha… Do you really understand? If you’re not the protagonist… Haru-kun, your role will remain that of a punching bag. In other words, the engagement with her is inevitable to be broken off, no matter what.” (Ulysses)

“How can you say that?” (Harold)

“Because it’s obvious. It’s… been decided… like that…” (Ulysses)

I see… From Uly’s words, it seems like the ‘compulsion’ that’s typical of game reincarnation is in play here.

“So, how about it? Even if the engagement is broken off, wouldn’t it be happier for you this way?” (Ulysses)

Uly peered into my face with a carefree smile, tempting me. However.

“Don’t decide my happiness for me. If you say that’s my… Harold Weir Dehaubalz’s fate, then I’ll break it to pieces.” (Harold)

“Ahahahaha! That’s impossible, obviously!” (Ulysses)

Apparently, what I said was so ridiculous that Uly fell to the floor, clutching her stomach and rolling around. But ever since I regained my past life’s memories, I’ve been fighting to ‘change fate’. Impossible? That’s something I’ve already faced and overcome.

” That’s why, sorry.” (Harold)

“Ha… Wilfred is an idiot, but you’re an even bigger idiot… After I went through the trouble of making such a great proposal…” (Ulysses)

Uly openly slumped her shoulders. However, strangely enough, even though this man in front of me should be my true enemy… I couldn’t bring myself to hate him. Maybe it was because he, too, was one of my ‘important people’.

“…You won’t regret this, will you?” (Ulysses)

“I don’t care. You should be prepared, too. I’m definitely going to smash that so-called fate of yours.” (Harold)

I said, lifting the corners of my mouth.

At that moment…

“Haru-sama?” (Alexandra)

“Huh…?” (Harold)

I was brought back to my senses when Xandra called out to me.

It seems I’ve returned from that space with Uly… Wait.

“S-So, where’s Uly!?” (Harold)

“Uly… Who’s that?” (Alexandra)

“Huh…?” (Harold)

I let out a confused voice as I looked at Xandra’s puzzled face.

“U-Uly, I’m talking about our classmate Ulysses Stone, that male student…” (Harold)

“Your Highness, there is no such student at this academy…” (Alexandra)

“M-Monica, too!?” (Harold)

Why don’t these two know about Uly!?

“Surely Liz knows, right!? And the Saintess, Carla, and Liliana, too!” (Harold)

“Uly… I don’t know her.” (Lizette)

“Are you tired from the duel with Wilfred? Should I cast healing magic on you?” (Christia)

“Hm, that’s the first time I’ve heard that name.” (Carla)

“I don’t know, but I’m just really hungry for meat!” (Liliana)

Aside from Liliana, how is it that no one knows about Uly!?

“…I’m sorry.” (Alexandra)

“Ah, n-no, it’s not something for you to apologize about! More importantly, I’m the one who’s sorry for saying strange things…” (Harold)

I hurriedly apologized to Xandra, who looked down, feeling down.

I’ll have to think about this later. Well… Now I understand that Uly is the true mastermind behind everything. I’m still trying to process it, but what I need to do is clear. I have to break the predetermined fate and protect the future of me and my ‘important people’, who are doomed to an unfortunate ending. And Uly doesn’t know this.

—That I know everything about this world.
