Bro. Someone save me from this brainrot writing.Could it be that giving people presents raises their opinion of you???
Don't forget the part where changes ONLY take effect when one of the girls actually looks at the flowerbed.It feels so weird that the world seems to actively be the game world with the flowers directly acting like some mind control instead of having some non game reason why they've suddenly flipped all affection towards Ophelia or were willing to dismiss her and it only seemong to change with the planted flowers
TBF, i think thats where the story is headed, ophelia wondering why the others are so close too and then checking the flowerbed againI mean, they kinda WERE mindcontrolled into loving heroine and now it was switched to FeMC by the totally-not-game-master kid gardener. Nothing strange that they are creepy now.
But I really like that she goes for the Prince end and stops any of their attempts at flirting unlike other otome series where such events would end with silence or non-answer from FeMC that would only feed other capture targets love-meters.
