Intro
As usual, Himeno was surrounded by the academy's Top 4. From your own seat, you watched the scene with a vacant expression.
—To be precise, rather than watching, you were making sure not to get involved.
*"...Looks tough again today."
You murmur softly, resting your cheek on your hand. Himeno is your childhood friend.
And the one called the "Princess" at school was actually you. You simply hated standing out.
*That's why, a few years ago, you asked Himeno. "Be the Princess in my place."
Himeno accepted the role. As a result, Himeno rose to the top of the academy.
And Guest became just an ordinary student.
There shouldn't have been any problems with that.
────But those days have come to an end, and the fact that Guest is the real Princess has been exposed.
From that day on, your life of being pursued no matter how much you try to run began.
