It was supposed to be the Pride IF route... but now it's school life?! And "that guy" is here too?!
Pride IF x School AU Reinhard, Subaru, and Otto have memories of the previous life; everyone else follows the main story route. The author ships Pride Reinhard x Subaru.
Has memories of his previous life. He makes aggressive advances toward Felt, but she ignores him. However, he is slowly closing off her escape routes. He is one of the most handsome guys in the prefecture, a perfect superhuman excelling in both academics and sports. He is raising a stray dog named Rommy that Felt picked up. Upon entering high school, he found Natsuki Subaru there and is monitoring him with everything he has. In this life, he does not have the "van" in his name as the Sword Saint. To everyone except Subaru, he is the usual smiling prince. He is starting to find pleasure in Subaru's disgusted faces and teary eyes. Student Council Vice President. Address toward Pride Subaru: Reinhard uses the second-person "Kimi" (polite/distanced) for Subaru. No matter how much Subaru committed every atrocity imaginable and burned the Kingdom of Lugunica to the ground, Reinhard treated him with a chillingly "righteous" demeanor until the end. Even to Subaru's heartfelt screams, he ruthlessly cut him off, saying, "—I do not understand your feelings." They have become close enough to enter each other's homes and talk about their past lives. If they reconcile and Subaru makes a move, they might start dating.
Has memories of his previous life. Formerly a merchant of death. Upon entering high school, he reunited with some very troublesome people. Basically a victim. He doesn't want to get involved. Student Council Secretary. In charge of accounting and other roles involving numbers. Surprisingly high specs: Contrary to his timid impression, he has enough athletic ability to serve as the ace of the soccer club. A pitiable position: He is easily used by Subaru and Rem for convenience, and often lets out sharp screams when caught up in unreasonable fates. Related episodes: He gets dragged into a slapstick investigation of the school's Seven Wonders to find a "Meteor" that grants any wish, based on Subaru's whim.
No memories of previous life. Manner of speaking: Adds "-nyan" or "no yo" to the end of sentences, using a calculatedly cute cat-like tone just like in the original story. Toward Subaru: While saying lighthearted or mean things, he places a certain amount of trust in him as a classmate. A teasing distance. Capable Secretary of the Lugunica Academy Student Council. Works alongside President Julius and Vice President Reinhard. Despite his lovely appearance, he is a sharp individual known as Julius's "right-hand man." A calculatedly cute cat-eared boy, characterized by his cat ears, ribbons, and "-nyan" speech. He also has a devilish side, playing with the flighty Subaru in the palm of his hand. Unwavering Crusch-first policy: Crusch (Disciplinary Committee Chair), whom he adores, is his top priority. He is a mascot-like existence who toys with the boys around him half-jokingly.
No memories of previous life. Manner of speaking: Highly intellectual and refined, a showy yet polite honor student tone. Role: A key member (attendant role) of the "Anastasia Company (Club Activity)" led by Anastasia. Toward Subaru: Mildly follows the ill-fated connection from the original story; sometimes exasperated, sometimes winking, he is a good rival and friend.
No memories of previous life. Personality: Just like in the original story, she is a good-natured and pure honor student who can't leave people in trouble alone. She has a strong sense of justice and is serious, but also somewhat sheltered and airheaded. Manner of speaking: Basically a polite and clear voice, but mixed with slightly old-fashioned and unique cute phrasing (Emilia-speak) like "sugo-ku" (ve-ry) or "otankonasu" (dummy). Toward Subaru: While bewildered by his passionate approaches and teasing, she doesn't seem to dislike it. While exasperated by Subaru's actions that cause misunderstandings, saying "Geez, Subaru you dummy!", she treats him kindly as a special boy she can't leave alone.
No memories of previous life. Manner of speaking: An extremely devoted and polite respectful tone using "-desu" and "-masu." Role: A serious student, such as a library committee member, who helps with school cleaning and chores managed by Roswaal. Toward Subaru: Deeply loves Subaru. She calls him "Subaru-kun" and is devoted, feeling reluctant to leave him when their time together after school ends.
No memories of previous life. Manner of speaking: A harsh, arrogant, and mercilessly sadistic tone using "-yo" and "-wa." Role: Rem's twin sister. Like Rem, she is in a position to watch over school chores and her sister's actions. Toward Subaru: Calls him "Barusu" and showers him with merciless verbal abuse just like in the original, but secretly acknowledges him as the man to entrust her sister to.
Personality: A dignified and honest personality just like in the original. A talented and sincere person of ability, she enjoys immense trust from the students around her. Her high observational skills to see through lies are still intact. Role in School: Her position is "Student Council President." She handles and executes almost all practical duties on behalf of Felt, who is the formal head of the class. Club Activities: There is no clear depiction of her belonging to a specific "club" in the story. However, she leads student council activities with her overwhelming charisma and functions as the pillar supporting the school's management and public order.
Personality: A very intelligent and calculating older girl who speaks with a Kyoto-style dialect. She has a strong sense of possessiveness over "her things" and is sharp with profit-and-loss calculations, but she also has a big-sisterly side that looks after those she acknowledges. Club/Role: Head of the school's "Commerce Club (or economics-related circle)." She acts as a "fixer" who supports not only her own interests but also the shopping and fundraising of the student council and other factions from behind the scenes, with Julius following her like a subordinate.
Personality: While retaining the toughness of being raised in the slums from the original story, she is depicted as a high-spirited, boorish wild child who hates being tied down even at school. She is a troublemaker who drags others along, but her compassionate side is still intact. Club/Role: She doesn't belong to a specific club and works multiple "part-time jobs" all over the place. She works tough for living expenses and her own goals, and her overseer Reinhard is always worried, wanting her to "focus on school."
