I Became the Maid of the Lout Prince - Chapter 158 [On the Boat (2)]
Title: Complete Strategy Guide for the Deep Sea Kraken Subjugation Battle (3)
Author: LilGirlChang
Content: Continuing from the previous guide.
You sessfully charmed Agnes in thest guide, right? Nowes the main event.
Note that this event won’t ur at all without Agnes, so don’t bother trying to raise affection with other characters throughke dates, thinking it might trigger the subjugation battle.

Whether it’s an after-school date or a weekend date, if you’ve managed to take Agnes out, you’re halfway there.
Be careful with nning the course of the date here – if you mess it up, you won’t be able to enter the Kraken Subjugation event even after all your preparation.
There are mainly two routes to thekeside walkway:
<ol>
<li>Have a meal in themercial district and then move to thekeside walkway as a second destination.</li>
<li>Give Agnes a book as a gift at therge bookstore in themercial district, then move to thekeside walkway as a second destination.</li>
</ol>
Choose Route 1 if you want to collect CGs, and Route 2 if you want to raise affection. If you want both, go meal → bookstore →keside. I only proceeded with the meal route since I didn’t care about Agnes’s affection.

This is thekeside walkway that you’ll reach after finishing the meal and arriving at the second destination. See the circle in the corner of the screenshot? That’s the boat rental ce.
If you proceeded with either Route 1 or Route 2, your affection with Agnes should be high enough that suggesting a boat date will be ok. (Be careful; if you bring her to thekeside walkway first, she won’t want to ride the boat, and you’ll lose affection)
Pay 3 silver coins for the rental fee and rent a two-person boat. [Only on Gxy Trantions! / Axiomatic]

As you row the boat around the academy, several dialogue events will ur.
There’s no particrly important content, so you can just answer casually and skip through.
Choices doe up asionally, but they’re so easy even a monkey could raise affection with her, so I won’t bother exining them.
(Example of choices)
Agnes: Do you know what tomato meatball spaghetti and the 4th me Form have inmon?
<ol>
<li>They’re both made up of only curves?</li>
<li>They’re both so easy even a monkey could understand?</li>
<li>……</li>
</ol>
These are the kinds of choices thate up throughout the conversation, and as you can see, there’s only one choice a normal person would make.
(An ominous sound is heard from somewhere…)
Anyway, as you’re going around thekeside of the Ind of Knowledge, you’ll see signs that the Kraken is about to appear.
If you choose “Return” here, you’ll avoid the battle and end the day. If you choose “Ignore and Enter,” the Kraken will appear, and the battle will start.

I’ll post the battle strategy tomorrow.

Anonymous(175.223): You’re ending it here?
Anonymous(223.38): Ah, why aren’t you finishing the battle strategy?!!!
└LilGirlChang: I have first period tomorrow, gotta sleep. Bye
└└Anonymous(223.38): This bastard is a fake otaku. How dare you have a life?
SalvationPureLove: What kind of book should I gift at therge bookstore to raise affection? Can I just give her any book?
└dd: Figure that out yourself. This guy keepsing to ask about every little thing in the guide.@@novelbin@@
└LilGirlChang: Ah, sorry. I forgot to write about that. The red books in the Fire Magic Studies section raise affection the most. Other types of magic books are average. The rest are all about the same. [Only on Gxy Trantions! / Axiomatic]
└└SalvationPureLove: Thanks thanks. Always enjoy your guides. I have a personality where I get OCD if I don’t follow guides like this, haha
ReallyGodGame: Is it really impossible to trigger the Kraken event with other characters? I have a disease where I go into convulsions when I see tsunderes
└LilGirlChang: I haven’t tried, but overseas guides say it works with any character that has over<strong>2,000 max mana.</strong>But no matter how much you hate tsunderes, you’re not going to date Orion or the Witch, right? ept your fate
└└ReallyGodGame: Ah, so I can seduce Orion? ok
└└└LilGirlChang: Are you crazy???
└└└Anonymous(61.43): Orion is gay gay…
oo: So, what’s the choice?!
└Anonymous(39.7): (Agnes sucks emote)
└LilGirlChang: (Agnes …… emote)
On the small boat that Ethan and I had spontaneously rented and boarded…
In a strangely awkward atmosphere, the boat carrying Ethan and me began to move towards the center of theke with quiet water sounds.
<em>Splish. Splosh.</em>
“…Ah, Ethan. There’s a tree behind us.”
“…Got it.”
It’s an awkward boat ride with Ethan rowing and me looking behind the boat, guiding him.
Ethan, whose face was slightly flushed, perhaps from the alcohol, rowed the boat away from the shore and towards the center of theke.
We eventually stopped at the center of one side of the vastke that enveloped the entire Ind of Knowledge.
“Is this far enough?”
“…Yes, this is good. At this distance, we shouldn’t be seen or heard by others.”
Now, even if someone from the Ind of Knowledge looked our way, it would be difficult to identify us as Ethan and me.
It would be impossible for anyone to hear the content of our conversation from here anyway.
Ethan’s oar, which he hadst used, slowly cut through the water and then stopped its movement on the surface of theke.
Thanks to the gentle waves of theke, Ethan and I could face each other in a serious atmosphere without our bodies swaying.
“Lilith.”
“Yes, Ethan.”
“Can I continue with what I was trying to say earlier?”
“…Yes. That’s why we moved to this location.”
I had hoped that in the process of rowing, the effects of alcohol would wear off and his calm mind would return.
Unfortunately, today, Ethan seemed to have made up his mind.
Well, this wasn’t the first time I had almost received a confession from him. There had already been a simr atmosphere in front of the campfire once before.
At that time, thanks to some thieves who appeared at the right moment, I was somehow able to let it slide, but in the current situation, it would be impossible to avoid it. [Only on Gxy Trantions! / Axiomatic]
There wouldn’t be any crazy thieves appearing on a boat to rob thiske.
<em>‘…Huh?’</em>
Wait a minute, why did I suddenly feel strangely uneasy as soon as we entered thiske?
I feel like I’m forgetting something important rted to thiske.
“Lilith.”
“Ah, yes.”
Just as I was about to rack my brain to recall what I had forgotten, Ethan’s serious voice calling me reached my ears again.
Guessing that it probably wasn’t very important since it didn’te to mind immediately, I focused on the conversation with him in front of me for now.
“Actually, this kind of talk might sound a bit out of the blue to you, Lilith.”
“…Yes, Ethan.”
“But still, I feel like I need to convey these feelings to you at least once. At least, I wanted to express once that I like you, Lilith.”
…So, it has finally begun.
I had really hoped this development wouldn’t happen if possible, but it seemed I couldn’t run away without answering now.
To begin with, I didn’t intend to run away anyway.
“Lilith.”
“Yes, Ethan.”
“Do you remember what you said when I asked you about your type before?”
“…You mean when I told you that while I don’t have a type of man I like, there are kinds of people I dislike?”
“…Yes. You remember.”
…Well, I had no choice but to remember.
At that time, I was at a point where my negative feelings toward Ethan had peaked, and I hated everything rted to Ethan.
Looking back, it was probably from that moment.
It’s the turning point where Ethan started to change fundamentally as a person instead of tormenting or bothering me.
“You said you dislike unhygienic people, or people who are short yet abnormally fat, or arrogant, self-important,zy bums…”
“……”
“And, and, that you dislike sexual harassers who poke people andugh right in front of them, that they’re the worst of all men in the world…”
“……”
“Back then, you actually wanted to say those words to me, right, Lilith?”
“……”
“P-please tell me honestly, Lilith. I won’t get angry or anything.”
“…To be honest, that’s correct.”
…Well, it seems Ethan has more or less figured it out already. At this point, lying would only erode trust.
If that’s how it was going to be, it was better to proceed honestly. I already knew well enough that Ethan wasn’t the kind of person who would bring up past events to disgrace me.
“Compared to how I was then, how am I now?”
“Pardon?”
“Because you said you dislike unhygienic people, I acquired proper etiquette and education. Because you said you dislike short, fat,zy people, I received daily sword training from my father.”
“…I see.”
“And, thinking you might dislike it, I didn’ty a hand on you even while sleeping in the same bed. Well, except for what you allowed me to do first…”
“…It’s okay. That was something I allowed you as a reward, so it’s different from sexual harassment.”
“Y-yes… That’s right…”
In truth, I had vaguely noticed.
The fact that Ethan, who had been carrying the title of ‘Lout Prince’ as a hated character, was growing in apletely different direction from the Ethan in the game no matter how you looked at it.
There was only one difference in the environment experienced by the Ethan in the game and the Ethan in this world.
Only now, after hearing the cause directly from Ethan’s mouth, could I finally be certain.
Indeed, it was me, not someone else, who had changed Ethan, the Lout Prince.
“Is there still somethingcking? Is it perhaps that I’m still a bit short?”
“…No. Your height isn’t really a problem for me now, Ethan. You’re a bit taller than me anyway.”
“T-then…!”
“……”
“I-if, by any chance, if you have even a little romantic feeling towards me, Lilith.”
“……”
“W-would you be willing to be in a rtionship with me, as a man and a woman… t-to date me…?”
Water all around. Two oars in Ethan’s hands.
There was no longer any way to escape.
It was time to face Ethan’s passionate feelings for me head-on.
