The new character Hertrauda will be voiced by Yui Ogura. ◆ Kyle CV: Junko Takeuchi An elf boy serving as Marie's attendant. A tsundere little brother-type character who clearly points out flaws even to his master, Marie. ◆ Mylene CV: Sayaka Ohara The queen of the Kingdom of Holfort and the mother of Julius. She is full of beauty and elegance, and also possesses the dignity befitting a queen. She sometimes blushes at Leon's actions and words. ◆ Hertrude CV: Sora Amamiya The first princess of the Duchy of Fanoss. She attacked Leon and his friends during their school trip but failed, and now attends the academy as an exchange student from the kingdom. She uses a lost item, the Demon Flute, to control monsters. She exudes a cool atmosphere, but her hatred for the kingdom runs deep. ◆ Hertrauda CV: Yui Ogura The second princess of the Duchy of Fanoss and Hertrude's younger sister. She seeks to fulfill the role her sister could not. She plots revenge against the kingdom in place of her sister, who is studying abroad in the kingdom. ◆ Vandel CV: Shusei Ugaki The strongest hero of the Duchy of Fanoss, known as the 'Black Knight'. He is loyal to the duchy and burns with a desire for revenge against the kingdom. He pilots armor wielding a greatsword, once giving Leon a hard fight. Work Information [Introduction] Leon, a former office worker, is reincarnated into a world of swords and magic from an 'otome game'. In this world of extreme female superiority and male inferiority, the only weapon left to him is the 'knowledge' of this game, which his sister forced him to play in his previous life. He tries to survive this unreasonable world by using that knowledge. Leon befriends Olivia, who was supposed to be the protagonist at the center of a group of handsome men, and Angelica, who was supposed to be the villainess who bullies her. Despite facing interference from Marie, who somehow occupies the protagonist position, he rises to the rank of viscount. However, as Leon greatly changes the flow of the game, the world begins to show signs of 'distortion' little by little. Selected for Marie's Saint Guard after she becomes a saint, Leon is eventually drawn into a conspiracy that shakes the Kingdom of Holfort...
