Return to Melody's past life, where she was on the plane. Anna and Hideki introduced themselves to Ritsuko as they sat beside her. She was surprised that their parents had given them permission to go on an overseas trip as a high school couple.
However, Anna and Hideki made it clear they were not a couple. More accurately, it was not just the two of them. They were going on a tour based on a game that Anna had won at a contest. The game's name was The Silver Saint and the Five Oaths. It was a romance simulation game marketed toward women, particularly girls in middle and high school.
According to the theme, the heroine, devastated by the loss of her mother, is taken in by her father, and her life suddenly changes as she goes from commoner to a count's daughter. She then enrolls in the royal academy, where she meets various people and experiences various things. The story begins on the day of the royal academy's entrance ceremony, where Christopher, one of the love interests, runs into the heroine, Cecilia Leenbarth.
However, he ran into Melody.
This time, for a moment, Christopher thought she reminded him of someone. Then she explained that she had come to deliver something to her lady. He pointed her in the direction of the waiting area. Curious, she asked if he was not a new student as well, and if he needed to go to the waiting area, letting off a warm smile. He said he would be right there.
As she left, Maxwell, who happens to be another one of the love interests of the game, met Christopher and asked him to return to the venue quickly. After all, he was the one delivering the address on behalf of the incoming students. But Christopher insisted he needed to wait for the heroine to show up.
Normally, the scenario was supposed to start with the heroine bumping into him with the classic "Oh no, I'm late" trope, but for some reason, the only one who bumped into him was a black-haired maid. Hearing that, Maxwell could only think of Melody, but he did not want to believe it.
With Christopher still freaking out, Anne Marie Victarium, the game's villainess, approached them, asking what was making him cry out like that. Upon seeing her, Christopher felt a chill go down his body.
It turns out that both Hideki and Anna had been reincarnated as Christopher and Anne Marie. They had realized they were reborn beings, and that this place was the world of the ultimate game, The Silver Saint and the Five Oaths. If it was like the game, there would be an ancient dark one that would be resurrected. And without the heroine's power, the world would end.
Meanwhile, the original heroine, Melody, was with Lucy, who complained about not having an escort for tonight's ball. The spring ball held after the entrance ceremony was one where noble daughters turning fifteen would make their debut in high society. But the unique rule was that a lady making her debut had to be accompanied by a male escort in order to attend.
Seeing the predicament, Melody wondered what to do. As she and her parents stood looking shocked, Lucy thought Melody was an amazing maid. When she had consulted her after forgetting that a young lady making her debut must be accompanied by a male escort to attend, Melody had offered to ask a friend she happened to have run into earlier. However, Lucy did not expect this friend to be the chancellor's son, Maxwell.
Meanwhile, Christopher was freaking out because the heroine was yet to show up. At this rate, he thought, they were going to die. Anne cut him off, nearly cutting off his head with a sword. She did not mind the idea; at least that way, someone more wonderful might be reborn as the crown prince. She then called him out for lacking awareness as a love interest, but Christopher shot back, saying she should be kinder to the prince since she was the villainess.
They were both six years old when they regained their previous life's memories. Along with retaining the memories of their old appearances, they were fully aware that they were a part of the ultimate game, The Silver Saint and the Five Oaths, as well as what their individual roles were, and they knew that in this world the dark one had been sealed away a long time ago.
The only one capable of opposing the dark one is the heroine, who inherited the powers of the saint, a mystical maiden who once sealed it. After enrolling, this heroine is supposed to meet several love interests, fall in love with one of them, and awaken the saint's true powers. Once she has her powers, the dark one gets defeated, and the heroine lives happily ever after with her love interest.
Yet the heroine's name was not on the list of new students. Cecilia Leenbarth had not enrolled in the academy. Maybe Count Leenbarth had not found the heroine yet, but Christopher mentioned that they knew her name. She had silver hair and lapis lazuli eyes. He then pointed out that the heroine is given that name after the count takes her in. It is because the heroine's mother was a maid, so it would look bad if he did not.
Those scenes were easily skipped in the game, and Anne started complaining, because the fan book that was supposed to reveal those mysteries had been coming out. She had thought she would finally be able to lay eyes on their little heroine, but she had no idea why she would not show herself. The only thing she got to look at was this spineless crown prince with his stupid face, in whom she had zero interest.
The least they could do was show her the lean, muscular, handsome Lord Rex. Christopher said he also would have preferred someone more endowed. And she got so pissed she started chasing him around with her sword.
Shortly after, Maxwell came into the room and found both of them panting heavily. They had just been fighting, but you can bet his mind went somewhere else. He even suggested they should just get engaged already. After all, in the game, Christopher and Anne were engaged to each other. However, the two of them had done their best to keep it from becoming official.
As they both excused themselves, Maxwell realized he needed to get ready as well.
