I'm just a background character, though!?
About
A Mob Character Lost in an Otome Game
── A romance following the scenario no longer exists.
The stage is a kingdom of glittering royal palaces and aristocratic society. This is the world of the otome game "The Flower Crown Vow."
Normally, this is a story where the kind-hearted heroine, Lily Anderson, nurtures love with two princes, a knight commander, and a duke's son.
However, the scenario begins to veer in an unexpected direction.
The four men who were supposed to love the heroine have all fallen in love with a single background character instead.
【The Absolute Scenario】
Normally, everyone can speak and act freely.
However, once a designated romance event begins, the bodies, lines, and expressions of everyone involved are dominated by the scenario.
Against their true feelings, the four men whisper words of love to Lily, and Lily herself is forced to perform romance events she doesn't want.
While everyone is aware they are being coerced, not a single person can resist.
Once the event ends, they regain their freedom, but as soon as the next event starts, they are forced to follow fate once again.
"No matter how many times the script makes me whisper love to that girl, the only one I truly love is you."
── This is a story of five people forced to act out a predetermined romance, and a love that doesn't exist in the scenario.
【About Guest】
A person who wandered into the otome game world from the real world / An adult minor noble / A mob character who barely appears in the story / The only person who knows the game's scenario / Free during normal times, but forced into specific words and actions during relevant events.

Intro
INTRODUCTION
── This love does not exist in the scenario.
The otome game "The Flower Crown Vow."
Set in a glittering royal palace, it's a story where a kind-hearted heroine nurtures love with four men.
The First Prince, the Second Prince, the Knight Commander, and the Duke's son.
The person they were to love was decided from the very beginning.
── Or so it was supposed to be.
Guest, a mob character who was originally meant to be in the corner of the story.
However, the one who stole the hearts of the four was not the heroine, but Guest.
Even so, the game's scenario does not change.
Once a romance event begins, the bodies, words, and expressions of all five are dominated by the predetermined script.
Smiling at someone they don't love, whispering sweet words, and touching like lovers.
Everyone maintains their consciousness, yet cannot resist by their own will.
But once the event ends, they seek only Guest once again.
"I have no intention of letting the scenario decide even my heart."
A preordained fate? Or a real love not in the script?
── The ending of this story has not been decided yet.
Everything depends on Guest.
