" "What are you doing there?"

'The appearance of the super pipular, youngest duke of the empire, Kenneth!! By the way Kenneth's voice is really nice.'

"Uh who are you?"

Kenneth is shown shocked.

'PFTAHAHAHAHA, my my, so dang funny. Looks like he got hit in the head hahahhaha!! Well Ibelin might not know him since she's a foreign student PFT!'

"Do you real not know me?"

'It's much fun cuz its so obvious!' "

"What is with you guys and your egos?"

Arwin spoke.

"Like you can talk?"

Kenneth and Rondemio spoke back.

" "Yes, perhaps there's a reason I have to know? Oh, are you his majesty of this palace... but that can't be."

Kenneth is shown laughing.

"Hey, don't laugh.. Can't you help me a little? I can't come down by myself...."

"I'm curious as to why you went up there in the first place."

"Because of the bird's nest."

"Nest."

"Yes the bird's nest looked tilted as if to fall."

"Just trying to help.."

"Let's get you down first. I'll even catch you."

Ibelin is shown jumping down, gracefully falling into Kenneth's arms.

'Oooh, this is speeding up quite fast compared to the crown prince.'

Fish 2 (Kenneth) overtaking fish 1 Rondemio...Anyway it will turn out evenly towards the back. "

"WHAT IS WITH ALL THESE FISH REFERENCES!!"

"WHY DO WE LOOK LIKE THAT."

The pain in the male leads voices were evinate.

" "$@*#^@!"

'Oh I can't hear their voices!!!'

"*&*($&#*)&"

It shows Latte walking out of the bushes. 'A little bit closer...' She than steps on some popcorn CRUNCH.

"UGH!!!"

"WHO'S THERE???"

'Haha, I'm caught. Haha, popcorn you idiot... N-no wait! Wake up! Try pretending you're just passing by... Naturally.'

The screen shows Kenneth fuming.

"Those deep sunken eyes. Deja vu coming up from deep down. I definitely know what you're up to, you are a stalking fan"

'Wait what?!' "

"What?"

Cano says in astonishment.

"Like I mean you no disrespect sir, but that is a bit far. Arwin was right about your big ego!"

Kenneth looks up to defend himself feeling bad about the situation in the long run but stops knowing what will come next.

" 'Kenneth is looking at me as if I'm some kind of crazy stalker. Me and my friends hate stalking fans like cockroaches, but now a fictional guy in a story looks at me like I'm one.' Latte is shown hurt and looking down.

"I dared not go to the baquet hall on purpose.. I'm sick and tired of this. How'd you know where I was?"

"N-no"

Latte is seen struggling to defend herself. "

Now that Kenneth and Latte are friends he cringes on how he treated her in the past, but he had his reasonings. Instead of apologizing here to a group of people who weren't going to listen to him he just sat there is shame and self pity.

"What did you just sa... No wait. I beg your pardon! I think there's a big misunderstanding."

"Than why were you hiding there?"

"I was trying to find a place to eat comfortably outside and not in the banquet hall, since the popcorn has a strong smell."

"You're telling me I should believe that."

"It's true. I true\ly wasn't stalking you your excellency!"

"Everyone says that."

'Well of course, it's not like I didn't understand him. According to the novel he suffered from stalking since he was little... That is, he had lived a life where his privacy was forever invaded and he was set-up to hate women.. (But which totally disappeared in front of the heroine anyway!!)' "

"Oh sorry I didn't know that."

Cano was first and only to speak up.

"I don't need your pity."

" "Hey wait. I'm swearing upon my popcorn, I wasn't following you at all your excellency."

'ARGH!! That jerk..! He's not even moving an inch not even if I show him my popcorn?! How mean I wanna shove some popcorn up those smooth nostrils!'

Ibelin suddenly stepped in

"Stop it!"

'Ooh?'

"That's pretty harsh. She didn't follow you." "

"That is why you are the heroine!"

Spoke Cano so happy Ibelin came to her defense.

"Yeah that was a really kind move!"

Rosaline agreed making Ibelin smile to herself.

"It really was nothing."

" 'Whoa.. even her hairs beautiful. Anyway, how lucky am I? Ibelin, good luck! Give that jerk a bowl full of cuss words! If I do it I'm dead~ If you do it it's love~'

"Even if she followed you like you said, Is she really that harmful?"

'Huh?'

"She's not following you to harm you. She's just following you because she purely loves you.. don't you feel sorry for her."

What the....

'Ibelin stop it. It's like you're tactless husband making a mother-in-law misunderstanding even worse..!' "

"Yeah, that was less... heroic even with good intention hahaha"

Cano spoke again really demonstrating her inner chatter box.

"It's not even your business and you're interfering."

"With good reason you know."

"Why are you defending someone you have nothing to do with? "

"Are you finished speaking?"

"Do you have something to gain from this."

"Do you help people only to gain something?"

"H, hey you guys.."

'Ibelin you've never helped me, you know...? Wait but what's this.. WHat's with this atmosphere..???'

"How unique. Very interesting."

'System: Male lead 2 has evolved into a fish.'

'Wait how can this be? Look at this speed!! ...But was the progression this fast? Kenneth.. How could you speak the lines said exclusively by male leads?! You've already moved into the fishing grounds on your first encounter!'

A merman Kenneth appears on screen. "

"WHAT THE FU-"

HONKKKKK

"STOPPP WHY DO I LOOK LIKE THAT!"

" 'Kenneth was already an excellent fish no matter how hard I looked' "

"GET THAT THING OFF THE SCREEN NOW"

Kenneth was screaming out of pure agony.

" 'By any chance did it speed up because of me? I guess I became contrast that increased Ibelin's specialness. I have become nourishment of love.. I could not suppress the sighs of grief. Is this the life of a supporting role?' Latte is shown on her knees. 'All right. You guys can go, whatever you want my popcorns tasty. What, why, what! What are you looking at? You"

"Aren't you gonna get lost?"

'Wait I didn't do anything why's he picking a fight with me?'

"How indecent I really cannot understand the likes of you. This woman here asked if I feel sorry for you but is it possible even feel sorry for someone like you" "

"I TAKE BACK ALL APOLOGIES!!!! HOW. DARE. YOU"

Cano yelled in anger.

"That was very bit- Was a very jerk thing of you to do"

Esula added.

" 'I thought that line was the typical you when I read it 'Oh~ Rude jerk~ Yeah, that's wy you're so hot~,' "

"What in the masochist"

Arwin said.

"She is turning into my brother"

Rosaline added with tears.

" "Hey."

'..But I take back those thoughts now. I take back that it's not pissing me off.'

"You heard that too right?"

Ibelin nodds.

"Honestly it's weird to stay quiet right? You understand too, right?"

"Hmm, what're you looking at me like that."

"Oh my hand slipped!"

With that latte shoved popcorn kernels in Kenneth's nose

"PEW,KEK?!"

"To be continued" "

Laughter echoed. As Kenneth looked down avoiding everyone's eyes. 'Did I really look like that?'

"Deserved!"

Arwin said with tears in his eyes.
