Plot
Leon starts his first day at the Holfort and in an attempt to court a baroness, he holds a tea party and invites her to it. This plan of his, however, fails, but he instead enjoys it with the game's protagonist Olivia. As it turns out her original game role has been replaced by a girl named Marie who has the Prince and his Entourage wrapped around her finger.

Summary


Leon gleefully waters some flowers as Luxion comments on how chipper mood, all because of the expression on his stepmother Zola's face. He's also an independent knight and he found an uninhabited island suitable for a baronet. Luxion suggests that he convert the island into a tourist destination that has a hot spring. Fond of the idea, Leon notes how well received that would make the island, as the ship's robots start building the place which would be finished in about two months' time. Looking forward to an easy life as a Baronet, Leon learns back at home that he's been granted the title of Baron by his father Balcus. With the island only fit for a Baronet, Leon also comes to the conclusion that he'll have to find a wife that's the same rank as Zola. The news disconcerts Leon who cries in discontent.



A brief explanation of the Holfort Kingdom is given as Leon stands before the Holfort Academy in amazement. Considering what he'll have to do at the academy and that the "Game" has officially started, Leon watches as a lady orders her servant to carry her luggage. At that moment, The Prince's Entourage arrives and is followed by Angelica and her servants. After spotting these two groups of people, Leon hopes to continue as a simple mob character and eventually spots Julius be slapped by an unknown young lady. The dialog between them sounds familiar to Leon, but notes that the spoken lines by the female were supposed to be by the game's protagonist, Olivia. Inside his room, Leon reflects on his suspicions of seeing that girl before, while Luxion arrives after scouring the city. He notes that his own scientific technology is far superior to the town's and that further research on magic is needed. After a bit of a back and forth between Leon and Luxion, Leon reveals to Luxion that he's studying all things tea parties.



Afterward, Leon talks with a couple of boys named Daniel and Raymond about any leads about available girls from wealthy families in the academy. They, however, do not and the aforementioned tea party was a plan by Daniel to attract girls. Just then, Julius and his friend Jilk are surrounded by women who swoon over them and their upcoming tea party. They then witness Angelica approach Julius about his upcoming tea party, but she's rejected in favor of the girl from earlier that day named Marie. Later that day, Master teaches Leon's class about tea party etiquette, and due to Leon's lackadaisical attitude toward the subject gives Leon an explanation that moves him to tears. Soon afterward, Leon holds his own tea party and invites a Baroness to it, and when she arrives she invites her friends and servants along. The reason why they attended it is to pass the time until Brad's own tea party and when they leave they comment on how inadequate the snacks were. Lamenting how hard the path of tea parties are, Leon witness the game's protagonist Olivia get bullied. Despite not wanting to get involved with the game's plot, Leon invites Olivia for some tea. Contrary to the guests that Leon served, Olivia acted in a polite and mild manner and she admits she'd like to study magic more, but is ignorant of the academy's unspoken rules and regulations. Hence, Leon suggests someone that could help them, the person in question was his older sister Jenna. Begrudgingly, Jenna informs Olivia to bribe her way into attending the tea party with expensive snacks. Olivia does this with the help of Leon and attends a tea party with Angelica. They talk together and talk fondly of Leon who has both of their interests at heart.



During exploration class, Leon scorns that both Daniel and Raymond skipped the class and he's left alone to deal with the Prince's Entourage. Before the class sets off to fulfill their assignment, Leon witnesses a brief altercation between Marie and Angelica only for Julius to intervene between it. From Olivia, Leon learns about Marie's background and both Jilk and Greg speak in favor of Julius' decision to favor Marie and continue into the dungeon. Eventually, Olivia manages to find the assignment objective, a crystal, and soon they're accosted by a group of ant monsters. Leon manages to defeat every last one of them with a sword hat Luxion created and then a monkey monster latches onto Leon's arm with its teeth and Leon kills it with a dagger. Now wounded, more ants surround them, however, the Prince's Entourage along with Marie arrive right as Angelica and her escorts arrive and witness as the Prince's Entourage deal with the ants. Seeing a wound on Julius' arm, Marie uses healing magic on it and when Angelica tries to see if he's alright, Julius leaves the scene with Marie in tow. Olivia then notices the wound on Leon's arm and uses her own healing magic to heal the wound.
