Thank you for your patience, everyone. Finally, the results of the first anniversary popularity contest have been announced.

  Good gracious, to tell you the truth, what I received was different from what I expected! I thought I would have 300 votes at most but…… Hell awaited me! Tally hell awaited me!!!

  W- Well, putting that aside, everyone, I thank you all for the votes.

  The total number of people who voted were “658”, and each person has three votes, so that’s “1974 votes”!!!

  Now then, before I announce the results, I’d like to talk about a very special extra chapter.

  About the nocturne chapter…… well, after much thought, I decided that it’s still too early to say that I’m going to make one. I think I’ll be able to prepare an extra chapter like that around the time the main story is completed.

  Anyways, that would be for the normal extra chapters, but I was planning to write a long story for the “1st to 3rd place”. After much deliberation though, since the number of people who voted was about to reach “700”, I decided to prepare an extra chapter for the characters that rank until the “7th place”.

  I’ll just leave the introduction there. Let’s announce the results.

  ※ For those who voted more than once, the most recent vote was considered valid.

  ※ Even if the name was wrong, if the author understood who you voted for, that vote would still be counted.

  ※ Votes for only one character name without a vote count were counted as three votes.

  ※ Some people did not vote in the afterword category, so let me remind you all that the number of votes is different from the main story category.

  {Main Story Category}

  ~~~ First Place ~~~

  { Isis Remnant: 385 Votes}

  Well~~ How tremendous, her heroine strength is…… To be honest, at the time when this popularity contest was launched, Isis hadn’t even been showing up that much, so the author thought that Alice would have an advantage.

  However, as expected of the most popular Original Heroine! She showed her overwhelming strength and came in first place!

  Isis had a good balance of one, two, and three votes, but the one votes were particularly stable. In short, there were many people who voted for Isis.

  Anyways, enough with that. Let’s go with the next one.

  ~~~ Second Place ~~~

  { Alice: 324 Votes }

  The Ultimate Idiot, Alice, comes in second place! The situation was very favorable for her since this happened right after the end of Alice’s arc but…… there’s still a difference of more than 50 votes between her and Isis.

  As Kaito’s lover and best friend, she is in a position where she can easily make appearances, so she may turn the tables next time.

  Alice also had a good balance of one, two and three votes, but I got the impression that there were many three votes for her.

  Also, some of those who gave Alice three votes have also voted for {??? }. So, it seems that there are many people who love her.

  ~~~ Third Place ~~~

  { Kuromueina: 239 Votes + 3 Votes from the Author }

  The main heroine regrettably came in third. Well, it’s always the case that the main heroine doesn’t win in these popularity polls.

  However, the fact that she was able to almost catch up to the two girls with more than 300 votes and finish in third place is impressive.

  Kuro had a very large number of single votes. In particular, many people voted for Kuro and Shiro as a set, so it was a fierce battle with Shiro.

  As I was tallying the votes, they were in dead heat of overtaking and being overtaken between them.

  ~~ Fourth Place ~~

  { Shallow Vernal: 225 Votes }

  Shiro, who fought a close battle with Kuro, regrettably came in fourth.

  However, she was the highest ranked character for those who hadn’t become Kaito’s girlfriend yet, so she may get a lot more votes after she’s conquered.

  The fact that she is very popular, at least in terms of when she made her appearance, is actually quite impressive.

  Shiro had a very large number of one votes, just like Kuro. That’s why it was such a close race between them.

  She is one of the characters that I have high hopes for in the next popularity poll.

  ~~~ Fifth Place ~~~

  { Lilia: 99 Votes }

  Don’t say that there were only a few votes for her. The top four just took most of the votes, she did a great job!

  The noble lady did her best. She really did her best. It’s a shame that she didn’t get more than 100 votes, but she’s still in fifth place.

  Lilia had a lot of one votes. She was a very popular character. She had a lot of appearances and is cute, so she still has the potential to be a top contender.

  ~~~ Sixth Place ~~~

  { Ein: 96 Votes }

  I didn’t expect Ein to appear here! To be honest, the author is very surprised.

  Even though she didn’t have that many appearances in the story? Does this mean that being a maid really makes her powerful?

  There were many three votes for Ein. It seems that there are a certain number of people who like maids.

  ~~~ Seventh Place ~~~

  { Eden: 78 Votes }

  ……You serious? At the time this popularity poll was being held, she should have just made her entrance but…… seriously?

  Let’s see. Eden had an overwhelming majority of three votes. Apparently, some people like her very much…… I’m pretty sure that they’re her children. Mother would always know.

  Good gracious, that was an unexpected dark horse.

  Anyway, congratulations on winning the rights to the extra chapter.

  {br}(P/N: I can understand Ein but this was surprising for me too. Guess some people are into dominatrixes or something.)

  ~~~ Eighth Place ~~~

  { Sieglinde: 69 Votes }

  Sieg’s popularity is stable. She has a gentle atmosphere, so she didn’t get a lot of votes at once.

  However, she had been steadily accumulating votes and made it to the top 10.

  (T/N: Nice.)

  (P/R: I thought you were in Alice gang……_.){br}(T/N: That number, I meant.)

  ~~~ Ninth Place ~~~

  { Kusunoki Aoi: 55 Votes }

  Aoi-chan did her best. She did her best even though she didn’t appear in the story at all due to the negative effects of the author being a lolicon.

  Well, it really seems that there are people who like Aoi no matter what the time is, and she is in the top 10 after gathering the votes.

  It’s expected that she’ll have more appearances in the future. No, well, that’s actually up to me to decide that……


  ~~~ Tenth Place ~~~

  { Lillywood Yggdrasil: 49 Votes }

  Clutching the top 10 was Lillywood. I see big tits, I vote. I totally understand. Yep, yep. Lillywood-san also has an unofficial date at the Six Kings Festival, followed by that bath event…… I guess that may be why she became popular here.

  (P/R:._……_.)

  ~~~ Eleventh Place ~~~

  { Miyama Kaito: 39 Votes }

  ……Seriously? Oi, seriously? I thought it wouldn’t be possible for a guy to get votes, but…… the main character got a good ranking. Congratulations, Kaito. Now, go explode.

  ~~~ Twelfth Place ~~~

  { Lunamaria: 34 Votes }

  Luna, the pure-hearted prankster, came in twelfth. Well, this is a really good job for her.

  Luna is ranked twelfth, even though she doesn’t have any chapters dedicated for her at the moment, so we can expect her to make a breakthrough in the future.

  (P/R: the confectionary scene was cute)

  ~~~ Thirteenth Place ~~~

  { Razelia: 29 Votes }

  Fufufu, it seems like my Fairy = Love plan is progressing well.

  Raz is cute, seriously cute. I want to write more stories that would make everyone awaken to this taste.

  P/R: Yes, proofreader Mira back with another comment. The author really is a lolicon though isn’t he…


  ~~~ Fourteenth Place ~~~

  { Chronois: 28 Votes }

  That was a close amount of votes they got there. Chronois, the troubled God, sits at 14th place, one vote less than Raz.

  She’s tall, slender and is a cliff…… Perfectly matching my taste.

  Well, as for height, it feels like she has been overtaken by the appearance of Epsilon……


  (P/R: Maybe he’s just into flats instead of being a lolicon?

  ~~~ Fifteenth Place ~~~

  { Fate: 23 Votes }

  It’s not surprising that the rankings have been swapped around.

  I think Fate, the lazy God, is slowly gaining more and more votes.

  ~~~ Sixteenth Place ~~~

  { Shea: 22 Votes }

  Unlike her alter-ego from a parallel dimension, the cool Shea-san is uniquely attractive and is ranked 16th. There was also that event where Kaito thanked her for her help in Vier arc, so we can expect her popularity to rise.

  ~~~ Seventeenth Place ~~~

  { Yuzuki Hina: 20 Votes }

  The kouhai who is guaranteed to have an individual event before the senpai.

  She has had very few appearances at the moment, but her chest size is one of the best in the series, so we can expect her popularity to soar from her individual events.

  ~~~ Eighteenth Place ~~~

  { Noir: 19 Votes }

  { Caraway: 19 Votes }

  The 18th place is a tie between the widow Noir and the cat-eared Caraway.

  Both of them have unique and powerful charms, so I’m looking forward to their individual chapters.

  ~~~ Twentieth Place ~~~

  { Anima: 17 Votes }

  Anima is regrettably in 20th place. She’s in a good position in the main story right now, so the result might have been different if the popularity poll was held at this moment.

  ~~~ Twenty-First Place ~~~

  { Neun: 13 Votes }

  Let’s go on a date. Isn’t it nice to see a beautiful girl hiding behind armor?

  ~~~ Twenty-Second Place ~~~

  { Vier: 12 Votes }

  Vier has been in full swing since the end of her Arc, and she hasn’t fully shown her potential yet.

  ~~~ Twenty-Third Place ~~~

  { Pandora: 11 Votes }

  { Lindwurm/Lynn: 11 Votes }

  No way, Pandora actually made it here. Well, it’s only been about 2 chapters since she appeared. For her to be popular, you know!?

  It seems like some people liked Yandere.

  As for Lynn-chan, she’s very popular as Kaito’s pet.

  ~~~ Twenty-Fifth Place ~~~

  { Bellfried: 9 Votes }

  Bellfried is also popular as Kaito’s pet. Everyone loves mofumofu.

  ~~~ Twenty-Sixth Place ~~~

  { Mitsunaga Seigi: 8 Votes }

  To be honest, this one surprised me the most. I didn’t expect Seigi to appear here.

  ~~~ Twenty-Seventh Place ~~~

  { Chris: 5 Votes}

  { Eta: 5 Votes}

  { Theta: 5 Votes}

  We’ll have to wait for individual events for them. Chris is doing very well.

  ~~~ Thirtieth Place ~~~

  { Chapel: 4 Votes }

  { Life: 4 Votes }

  We haven’t seen much of Life yet, so we’re expecting more of her in the future.

  As for Chapel…… unnn, I have a lot to say about this, but you…… I’m talking about you! Why the heck did you give all three of your votes to him!?

  ~~~ Thirty-Second Place ~~~

  { Megiddo Argetes Borgnes: 3 Votes }

  { Ryze Lia Symphonia XVIII: 3 Votes }

  { Laguna Dia Hydra: 3 Votes }

  For these three, it’s just like that guy who voted for Chapel. It’s just a single person using their three votes for them.

  In fact, one person used his three votes for Ryze, three times.

  ~~~ Thirty-Fifth Place ~~~

  { Iris Illuminus: 2 Votes }

  Here is Iris, who I didn’t expect to appear here. She hasn’t even met Kaito yet. I’ll be expecting her in the future.

  ~~~ Thirty-Sixth Place ~~~

  { Sechs: 1 Vote }

  { Mary: 1 Vote }

  { Rejnhardt: 1 Vote }

  { Sylphia: 1 Vote }

  { Dahlia Lia Symphonia: 1 Vote }

  { Orchid Lia Symphonia: 1 Vote }

  { Cattleya Lia Symphonia: 1 Vote }

  As for the, unnn. Well, I don’t think they’ll soar next time.

  ~~~ Those with zero votes ~~~

  { Acht }

  { Magnawell Baskus Lardo Kurtzvald }

  { Bard }

  { Sigma }

  { Bacchus }

  { Lotus Lia Symphonia }

  { Amalie Lia Symphonia }

  { Eval }

  { Heart }

  { Agni }

  { Sei Riverstar }

  { Fafnir (I’m really sorry, I forgot to add him)}

  That was the result of the poll! Well, as expected of Isis, she’s very strong~~~

  The top four are just too strong!　The difference in the number of votes between the top four and the bottom five is huge.

  Now then, the next one is…… well, the results should be obvious already, but here’s the Afterword Category.

  { Afterword Category }

  ~~~ First Place ~~~

  { Serious-senpai: 356 Votes }

  The Undisputed Champion!

  Do you know why I went to the trouble of making a separate category for the afterword?　It’s because she’s too strong! You can only actually only have one vote for the afterword category, but with over 300 votes, she’s a real monster.

  Even if you add up the votes of all the other previous characters in the afterword category, they still can’t beat her.

  Well, it was an obvious result, wasn’t it?

  ~~~ Second Place ~~~

  { The Mysterious Beautiful Commoner Girl???: 150 Votes}

  Although it wasn’t as good as the absolute champion, Serious Senpai, she got a solid number of votes and came in second.

  Or rather, she’s definitely just benefiting from her popularity in the main story …….

  ~~~ Third Place ~~~

  { Wyvern-senpai: 55 Votes }

  Good job, now go back to the butcher’s shop.

  ~~~ Fourth Place ~~~

  { Baby Castella-senpai: 26 Votes }

  I’m rather surprised that Baby Castella-senpai got 26 Votes.

  ~~~ These were actually invalid votes, but it made me happy, so……~~~

  { Author: 10 Votes }

  Whoa there, he got 10 votes even though he didn’t enter.

  If he had been entered as an actual competitor, he would have overtaken Serious-senpai…… No, no, that’s impossible……


  And with that, that’s the results of the popularity contest.

  I’ll let you know about the details of the extra chapter as soon as I can.

  I’d like to thank everyone again for all the votes!!!

  I think I won’t lead the counting when the second round of popularity contest happens!!!

  T/N: 100/336
