Rain Barnett 17 years old. Barnett Family and Evergreen Family co-founded the largest trading company in the kingdom. While Evergreen Family, Oliver's family, was from the upper class in aristocracy, Barnett Family was a commoner. However, they had flourished business here and there, thus the family became a super rich family in just a few generations. Nouveau riche, or something like that. It must be just a matter of time before they bought the noble title.
Those were what I knew from reading the [User Manual]. Rain being a commoner did not surprise me since he behaved like a spoiled rich kid. Somehow he reminded me more and more to Rian, the neighbor's kid. His family was also filthy rich and their house was the largest in our neighborhood.
Rain and Oliver had some ties in their families. That mentioned why they looked friendly to each other. But, then, it also increased the possibility that my game over was also related to Oliver. Like, probably he hated that I called his friend 'stupid'. Well, but he said the same thing, so I did not think so. Or was it because I embarrassed his friend in public? He should just interfere, then! It was possible that it simply because I got involved with Rain.
"Maybe I should avoid contact with him too."
[Why are you avoiding people, Clarissa?]
Suddenly, I recalled those words, a question that certain someone asked me not too long ago. If my memory was right, then that certain someone was Joshua. However, I did not remember my answer at that time.
My reminiscence was disturbed by a soft knock. It was already about time for Griselda to appear, so it must be her. I opened the door and found the beautiful silver-haired girl in front of the door. It was really Griselda.

After that, things were progressing the same as before. Or so, I thought. I kind of forgot there was an event with the second prince with his ridiculous fur cloak on the way to the dining hall. Here, Griselda and I were taking the exact same route as before, so we met that fur cloak prince again. 436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6o3Q3XCIr
But I never thought that the scene would change. That prince was accompanied by someone, unlike the previous time. Moreover, that someone was the pink-haired girl that I met after assembly. Her hair color was so weird that I ended up remembering her. Only the hair color, though. 436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8GS6oC9mJ
Oh, but according to Castille, many otome game heroines had pink hair. She should be the heroine instead of Clarissa Edelrose. Compared to that pink hair, Clarissa Edelrose was a little plain.436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wMGY2vl5f
"Brother! She is the one I told you before! The insolent girl who dared to talk back to me!"436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKS4JQEOll
Brother? Did I hear that right? Then, that pink hair was....a princess?436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8TGyIWhOb
