To Save My Favourite Character, I Decided To Destroy the Game’s Plot

"I won! too!"

Saraswati, who had just finished her match and was returning to the guest of honor's table, came running toward us with a big smile on her face.

'Congratulations!"

"What? You don't look surprised at all!"

"I was sure that you would win, Saraswati".

" Ah all right then Lucy! You saw it, didn't you? I won!"

　She must have been really happy.

Saraswati seemed to be more excited than she normally would have been.

"I saw it ------ ------. Stop, stop. The meat is getting stuck in my throat!"

"Oh, really?'

"You're being too hungry at a time like this."

"-----, but if I move, I get hungry."

"Norwin is too hard on Lucy! Hey, don't you think so too?"

　Saraswati, in a good mood, even spoke to Vasel (Schneizel's second-in-command, now on guard duty with us).

" I think so, too."

"I told you. Two to one we win!"

"Yes, I know. I lose."

　Saraswati was in a good mood, which was cute, and no matter what she said, it made me feel better.

　The actuality that all of us have successfully passed the preliminary rounds is a relief.

"Oh, Norwin!"

While the three of us were chatting and laughing, Raymond, who arrived at the guest of honor's table a little later than Saraswati, waved to me.

　He is the eldest son of a historical marquis. , which means he is a very high-ranking figure, but at only six years old, he doesn't seem to have much awareness of that.

He was so impressed by a little aristocrat like me that he was dashing toward me.

, "Did you see that? I won. ------"

"I saw it. Raymond is very strong, "

"Oh, heh, heh. I wonder if so."

"Oh, yeah, . And you don't have to use honorifics. We're friends, right?'

"Really? I see. We are friends. Friends, friends."

　Raymond fron the game had no friends even at the beginning of the story.

He was still very young and was truly amazed at my words and chewed on the word "Tomodachi" with real joy.

　What can I say, kids are so pure that they are so easy to fool, and my guilt is so bad.

　Compared to Raymond, who tries to be a good friend, I have my own calculations.

Well, all this is for the future of Cress!

Saraswati and Lucy are already my companions, and I'd be so encouraged if Raymond would join me!

" Oh, this is the one..."

. He thought it was rude to hand me the letter that he had grabbed and run all the way here and was all crumpled up.

"What's wrong? What is it?"'

So I smiled reassuringly at him and gently urged him on.

"I told Mom and Dad that I had made a friend. Mom and Dad were so pleased, and they said I should ask you out to dinner next time."

　In short, an invitation to a dinner party.

　As someone who wants to be friends with them for a long time, this is a perfect event for me.

I'm sure it's a good idea. I'll come over to Raymond's next time! Can I invite Lady Saraswati and Lucy too?"

"Yes! As long as it's okay with you "

"Well, I don't mind."

"I want to go ------."

'You're being very aggressive."

The girl genius replied again, as she prodded at Lucy, who was eating her fill.

------ "because I have a feast."

"I think you're being too gluttonous."

"I'm not denying it, ------. "

　I turned around to see Raymond looking at me, Saraswati, and Lucy in turn, tilting his head curiously.

"What's wrong?""

"Oh, you know, Saraswati? I wondered why you spoke to Saraswati in such a polite way, but you seemed to be talking to Lucy in a friendly way."

"Ah."

　I remember that.

I've been using honorifics since the moment we met, and I've continued to do so until today.

　I don't have any particular reason for it, but...

　Hmm?

I felt a strange gaze and turned around to see Saraswati glaring at me from the side.

'Nah, what is it?"

'Come to think of it, yes. Why do you only speak respectfully to me? You still call me just as Lucy. calling me "

"Well, Saras?"

"Saras."

"If you're gonna blush and be shy, you don't have to ask me to do it".

"Shut up! Call me Saras from now on. It's not fair just to Lucy, and it's easier to talk to you that way! No honorifics!"

"Okay, Saras."

"Uh-uh. No more honorifics!'

"Okay, Saras."

"~~~~! Shut up, you idiot!"

　With a blush on her face, Saraswati walked away from me with a thud.

'------ Norwin, are you enjoying yourself, ------ ?"

"I had a little bit of fun, a lot of fun."

"Yes, Norwin, did you enjoy that?"

" I think it's time to sit down and watch the next match."

I think Saraswati will probably come back if we leave her alone, so the three of us took our seats side by side.

We were chatting and enjoying our conversation for a while, when suddenly there was a lot of noise around us.

"What is it?"

　I looked around and saw that all the nobles were looking in the same direction, and then they all stood up and took the nobles' salute.

　"What the hell? Should I do it too?'

I hurriedly followed the others and took the bow.

I poked Raymond in the back, who was so flustered by the sudden change that he couldn't do anything.

"No, I don't know, but..."

As I was about to answer, I saw an intensity of light that almost consumed my vision.

　No, it was not a glow. It was an overwhelming sense of presence that gave the illusion of brilliance.

　It does not have the gravity of Schneizel, Hian, or Ghardiaz. That is probably characteristic of warriors.

What I see now is a much more noble, simply brilliant aura.

"All of you, look up!"

　A group appeared with many guards. Standing in the center of the group was an elderly man with a crown on his head.

　He must be the king. He was undoubtedly an outstanding man with a tremendous radiance, and although his vectors were different, he had a presence that was close to the pinnacle.

However, it wasn't the blinding bright, insignificant plating that caught my eye.

　What was it? It's just a pest? Is it a pest? Fireflies are more beautiful because they're harmless.

But I got off track.

I couldn't take my eyes off Crescencia, the girl who stood hiding in the back of the group.
