Get ahead of the fallen heroine and make the minotaur the victim.

Disappointed, Valentina sighed softly, closed the book and planned to put it back on the shelf, intending to pick up the next book to read.

Because she was completely focused on the evil god, Valentina didn't notice that someone had come near her.

——Luckily this is a library, not a battlefield, otherwise she would have been captured.

Someone close to her couldn't help but think so as he looked at her beautiful yet defenseless figure from behind.

"…You came to the library to research materials before leaving. Is it really okay not to say goodbye, Tina?"

It was a restrained male voice, which made Valentina, who was about to take the book, temporarily give up her action and look at the man who was talking to her behind her with a little surprise.

He was a blond man who gave people a 'gentle and elegant' impression at first glance.

He was in his late twenties, wearing a neat and tidy scholar's uniform and had a handsome face. He was the kind of handsome man who was very popular with young women at first sight.

In fact, this is true. His name is Allen. He is a famous scholar in the kingdom and Valentina's private tutor. He is one of the few companions who stands on Valentina's side, and is therefore highly respected by Valentina.

"Mr. Allen? Why are you here?! Ah... No, it's you after all, so it's not strange for you to be here. Well, I'll go see Clyde later, so don't worry."

So after the initial brief panic, Valentina immediately adopted the humble attitude of a student, gently pinching the hem of her skirt and bowing to him, showing visible respect for the blond man in front of her.

Seeing her like this, Alan sneered in his heart.

It seems that this naive princess really likes gentle men. Even though they have only been together for a month, he has gained her trust so easily.

It must not be difficult to completely take away her body and mind.

"Haha, that's true. After all, Tina, you are my most proud student. There is no need to worry about you."

Allen smiled and praised the sensible student, as if he was really praising her.

However, unlike the gentle appearance he pretends to be, Alan is actually a complete yellow-haired man.

From the very beginning, I approached Valentina because of her.

He deduced from the intelligence that Valentina liked gentle men, so he forged his identity and pretended to be a scholar to gain her trust.

As a veteran who has deceived many women, he knows very well how to capture what kind of women.

For example, this Princess, just treat her gently and stand on her side.

"Yes, thank you for the compliment, I'm honored, Mr. Allen!"

Valentina, who had no idea that the man in front of her would become one of her many nightmares in the future, was of course deceived and happily accepted Alan's false compliments and praises.

Even though Alan was actually thinking that Her Royal Highness the Princess was really childish and easy to deal with.

But Valentina, whose family relationships are not very good, is still very easy to trust such gentle people.

Noah, who was watching everything like a voyeur in the ruined temple through the magic circle, sighed like an old father.

"Ah, it's just like the original story. Valentina's second most trusted man is this bastard. Wake up, Princess. There is not a single good man around you, including me!"

5. Huang Mao: Ah? I'm going to sit at the same table with the victim? Why?

This ruined temple is where Noah woke up in this world. It is suspected to be a hidden map in the original work, a temple that once worshipped the evil god.

Because the temple is in a different space, no one will come here unless Noah, the owner of the temple, takes the initiative to bring him closer to the temple.

In other words, Noah can monitor Valentina's every move here without worrying about being discovered.

To be honest, in some ways, it was not much different from the adventures he once took when he controlled the heroine Valentina in front of the computer.

At most, Valentina will no longer follow his instructions completely, but this is also good. After all, no matter how the original work goes, in Noah's opinion, Valentina will not be able to have a perfect ending.

It's not like he traveled through time and space to become a cannon fodder or a villain. In theory, Noah is very free in this world and can do whatever he wants as long as he can accept the price.

But the problem is that he now wants the heroine, who is widely hated by the producer, to escape the tragic ending of the original work.

It’s similar to those readers who cannot accept that the original work has a BAD END.

Noah just couldn't bear to see Valentina becoming a man's toy. Even if she had to turn evil, she would at least become a queen who played with men.

For this reason, he decided not to let Valentina be deceived by the yellow-haired guy again.

However, he had no intention of imprisoning Valentina to discipline her, because Valentina was not as unreasonable as a yandere.

As long as Noah can make her realize that she is the only one she can rely on, and not the men around her who have ill intentions towards her, then his goal will be achieved.

Noah's plan was basically to stand opposite the protagonist and train the poor heroine who was toyed with by men to become a villainous queen who toyed with men.

As for whether he will become the destined opponent of the fallen heroine in the end and pretend to be destroyed by the other party.

And Noah naturally had every confidence in letting Valentina go.

"…By the way, Mr. Allen, what do you think of dragons?"

When he saw the silver-haired princess in the picture hesitating, he finally asked the question.

Noah couldn't help but smile in the ruined temple.

Look, the show is about to begin.

"Dragons? I don't have any special opinions. Dragons may look majestic, but they are just inferior creatures like monsters. They are greedy and lustful. They don't hide their desires at all and do whatever they want. They are simply the failed products created by the goddess. No, maybe they are not goddesses at all, but something else, such as evil gods."

Although Allen didn't know why the princess who loved heroic stories suddenly asked such a question, he still gave what he thought was the correct answer.

In his opinion, Valentina, who particularly admired dragon slayers, would certainly like to hear an answer that denied dragons.

As for his real thoughts, they were slightly different.

He doesn't look down on dragons, he looks down on everyone except himself, especially women. Her Royal Highness the Princess, to be frank, is just a toy for him to play with and applaud.

"Ah... That's true. Sorry for asking a weird question."

But after hearing this answer, Valentina did not show the reaction that Alan had imagined. Instead, she felt inexplicably guilty.

This stunned Alan, who had always thought he had a complete grasp of Valentina's psychology.

Huh? What's going on? His answer should be perfect? ​​Why is his reaction so subtle?

This really can't be blamed on him. After all, Valentina used to stand on the side of a human, but now she has been forced to stand on the side of a dragon.

The answers you want to hear are naturally different.

Noah, who had read all the plots word for word, knew that the uneasy Valentina would definitely go to the trusted yellow-haired Allen for questions, and he also knew that Allen, who thought he was smart, would answer like this.

The actions of both of them had been completely predicted by Noah, who was very familiar with them.

Valentina originally wanted to seek comfort, but Alan gave the most correct answer with a smile as warm as spring breeze. It was like pouring cold water on Valentina's face, making her calm down again from the demented state of craving for others' recognition.

What on earth was she doing? Mr. Allen would certainly answer like this, she knew it very well.

But... she still wanted to hear a different answer...

But in this way, Valentina also realized that she must never tell the man in front of her what happened to her.

This is for your own good and for the other person's good.

"Hmm? Tina, you seem a little strange, has something happened?"

Alan is indeed the best actor. He could tell at a glance that Valentina was different from usual, so he immediately became alert and his eyes became unfriendly.

What happened? Could it be that the weak boy instilled some unique ideas into the princess?

"Ah, it's nothing. Actually, I met a strange passerby last night. He said that dragons are noble creatures and we humans are inferior creatures. Haha, it's weird, right?"

After realizing that she couldn't discuss her abnormality with Allen, Valentina became alert and immediately started acting.

She made up a reasonable lie and pretended that she asked such a question because of the influence of that strange passerby.

"…I see. They must be pagans who fanatically worship dragons. Don't be fooled, Tina. They are dangerous people in this world. They kidnap young boys and girls and throw them into dragon nests. We humans are the most perfect creatures. Dragons are just inferior creatures that can't control their emotions. Otherwise, wouldn't the great hero who slays dragons become a villain?"

Because Valentina's answer was reasonable, Alan did not think much about it at this time. He quietly relaxed his slightly frowned brows, put away the vigilance in his eyes, and continued to play the role of a tutor who fully supported his students.

He even took the initiative to put his hand on Valentina's shoulder, taking the opportunity to win her favor and continue to establish the image of a perfect man in Valentina's mind so that he could snatch her away from her victim Clyde in the future.

"…Yes, you are right, Mr. Allen. How can the heroes who slay dragons be villains?"

But this time, Allen is destined to fail to improve his favorability. It’s good enough that it didn’t decline.

Although Valentina showed a smile that seemed to be relaxed at first glance, the loneliness and uneasiness hidden deep inside, the sadness of wanting to seek the approval of the person in front of her but destined to not get it, Alan, who was too proud of himself, was completely unaware of it.

"Ha, you didn't expect that you would be the victim of Clyde's yellow hair in the later part of this story, and now you have come to this day!"

Noah, who was watching the show in the ruined temple, laughed out loud when he saw this.

Noah decided to prepare a red ball for Mr. Allen, the yellow-haired actor who was the best actor in the original work, and see when he could realize that the girl in front of him was no longer the girl he was familiar with, and then put it on his nose!

Let him know that he, the yellow-haired guy, is just a clown!

6. Heroine, don't rush to send her away. Come here and receive training first.

Through remote monitoring, Noah saw Valentina's next actions.

Because of Noah, Valentina now had to give up her original preparations and postpone her plans to go out on an adventure.

We changed our base to the capital, and in short, we would focus on the vicinity of the capital first.

When Valentina told her former supporter Allen with some guilt that she wanted to change her plans, Allen did not behave abnormally.

He easily accepted Valentina's decision to change plans at the last minute and even expressed his full support.

Of course Noah knew why. Regardless of whether Valentina went out on an adventure or stayed in the capital, Alan would always pretend to appear near her casually. It would be easier to take action if she stayed in the capital.

In this case, Alan is certainly willing to support Valentina's change of mind.

However, Alan was obviously a master and knew that blindly approaching the target would only backfire, so Alan did not deliberately find an excuse to stay with Valentina. Instead, he picked up a few books and left the library.

Valentina, who stayed behind, continued investigating until lunchtime, then left the Royal Library with a bored look on her face.

But that was only when there was no one around. Once there were people around, Valentina would immediately put away her inner anxiety and panic and return to her usual approachable princess self.

Especially when she went to meet her childhood sweetheart and former victim Clyde, Valentina smiled even more than usual, not letting Clyde see her inner troubles at all.

And that victim, who had no special identity or ability and was just an ordinary resident of the royal capital, naturally had no ability to detect that something was wrong with Valentina.

I was simply happy that Valentina had no plans to leave the capital for the time being.

"…incompetent and mediocre, gentle and cowardly, although not a bad person, but in this world full of malice towards the heroine, let alone protecting the heroine, a man who needs the heroine to protect him in return is not a hero, but just a burden."

Looking at the ordinary brown-haired boy who was unaware of Valentina's mood but was smiling very happily, Noah, who was watching all this coldly in the ruined temple, couldn't help but give a very low evaluation.

Although the yellow-haired guy is hateful, Noah also hates the poor guy who is unable to help the heroine and can only hold her back.

Noah is neither a pure lover nor a minotaur, but an omnivore. He will play any book or game as long as the art style is beautiful or the setting is interesting.

It’s strange to say, some people pursue pornography in comics, but pursue story plots in books.

And Noah happens to be that kind of person.

Therefore, he will also read the Minotaur stories with good character design. Of course, he is not watching the pornographic content, but watching the actions of the victims in the Minotaur stories.

What Noah couldn't understand the most was the kind of person who had his beloved girlfriend bullied by the minotaur, but didn't even have the courage to take up a knife and exchange her for the minotaur.

Obviously in excruciating pain, yet he doesn't take any action at all.

The most annoying thing is that you have to watch the images of the heroine sent by the yellow-haired guy, or just masturbate on the spot.

Unfortunately, Clyde is such a person. In the original work, he was captured by the villain, forcing Valentina to submit to the villain.

After being mentally broken by the villain and becoming his slave, Clyde actually flew the plane himself while crying and calling Valentina's name.

So Noah doesn't want to be a pure love warrior and protect the relationship between Clyde and Valentina.

In his opinion, the weak Clyde was not worthy of a good woman like Valentina.

If the ending was that Clyde was treated as a star slave by Valentina, then Noah might not have such a strong resentment.

equal?

How can an Asasi man who not only has no strength but also has a cowardly personality get along with the strong Princess as an equal?

If she could show some shining points that Noah would like, then it wouldn't be that she doesn't have any shining points at all, right?

...But Noah is not a demon, and he will not deliberately cause trouble for Clyde just because he looks down on him.

Just like he would not take the initiative to cause trouble for Allen, those were problems that Valentina needed to solve herself.

Noah only needs to deal with Valentina.

After all, this is a tragic world where CG will be immediately recycled once you lose the battle.

Noah was not in a good mood as he looked at the temporarily harmonious and beautiful scene of the laughing boy and girl, as well as the passers-by in the background who were casting malicious glances at them.
