Leonhart took her to an old chapel located at the edge of the school grounds.
“Leon, this is…?”
“It’s a place that’s no longer being used anymore. Although it occasionally gets cleaned to keep it in good condition, basically nobody else comes here—Just in case, I ordered the others to leave—《Sanctuary1》.”
Entering the chapel, Leonhart casted a spell. The surroundings were filled with magical presence. The entire chapel was enclosed by a barrier. The inside was very clean despite its worn-out appearance. Laid out in the middle was a red carpet, and a number of wooden benches were in rows on the left and right. There was a large altar at the back, from high above seven colours of light descended from a stained-glass window.
“…For now, let’s take a seat.”
She was urged by Leonhart and sat down at the end of the bench. Although it was cleaned until there was not a speck of dust, due to its considerable age, it gave a small creak when they sat down.
“It was hard on you a little while ago, Fran. I thought you would need a place to calm down so I brought you along, was that fine?”
“Yes… thank you, Leon.”
Francesca placed her head on Leonhart’s right shoulder who was sitting next to her. Whether this was a reaction from quarreling with Angelina awhile ago, just a little, she felt like being spoiled.
“You’re so cute, Francesca.”
Leonhart muttered gently, maneuvering his right arm behind Francesca, he slowly stroked her silver hair.
“To be surrounded and shouted at by all those boys, it must have been scary. Are you okay?”
“Yes… I was able to hold on.”
“Ah. Actually, I was planning to appear sooner. But I saw Fran confronting them on your own, so I watched the situation a little longer.”
“Y-you we’re watching…”
Francesca’s face turned red. It was too late, she was embarrassed by what had happened previously.
Ahhh, it’s not in my character to say such aggressive things. Would it be because I’ve become closer to my previous life? I don’t remember it well, but when I worked hard at the company, the male employees would talk like I defeated them.
Francesca had thought that the influence of her previous life only extended to knowledge. But perhaps, deep down in her heart, a bit of her previous life’s personality had taken root. The positive attitude taken towards potion research, was closer to how she was in her previous life as well.
…While Francesca was absorbed in her thoughts,
“I’m glad. It’s like seeing the cheerful Fran from the old days.”
“Feh…!? Le-Leon!?”
Suddenly, she was hugged by Leonhart. It was tight and strong. When Francesca returned to herself, she would say “Eh? Eh?” in a surprised voice while blinking repeatedly.
“Your mother—Marianne, since she died, Fran weren’t you extremely depressed? I was worried. For years and years, it was like she was going to drag you along…”
Leonhart was delighted from the bottom of his heart, burying his face into Francesca’s neck, and rubbed his cheeks against her. It was like holding a large dog. Francesca could feel his hair tickling her neck, returning Leonhart’s embrace, she caressed his back.
“Leon, I’m alright now. Fate hasn’t been decided, the world has changed. Because it seems like that. It makes me have hope.”
“I see… I don’t quite understand, but it looks like Fran has regained her footing.”
“Yes.”
After Francesca nodded, she kissed Leonhart’s cheek.
“Fran…?”
Leonhart’s face exploded. His ears turned bright red and he looked bashful.
Uwaah. Leon’s so cute. Even though he always does it2 to me, could it be, that he’s weak when it’s being done to him?
She felt a little pleasant, Francesca giggled and smiled. Her heart was light. She even felt that it could be said right now.
So.
“Hey, Leon. There’s something I want you to hear.”
My secret. About my past life. About the Otome game.
I’m not sure if I’ll be able to explain it well, but I want you to know.
- Written as ‘Lest they pass through this gate’

Thanks for the birthday present… I meant chapter!
Well… this is an open ending if I’ve seen one, and I’ve seen many. Anywho, I’m glad that our MC got to get one in on Leon. It was cute. But yeah… I’d like to know what happens when she tells Leon everything. Or what officially happens to the heroine and her reverse-harem? We may never know, but this was still a decent novel. Thanks for translating it from beginning to end.

Well, the heroine wanted a reverse harem, but now she’s going to prison. She can still have the reverse harem but I don’t think she wants to 😱
As for Leon and Fran, whatever his reaction, he’s already in too deep sooo “babies ever after” ending would be nice

We really do need an epiloque, of why he was jelous of his older brother; why he would think when he knows about the broken engagement is the game and their wedding, because she will definitly get pregnant…xD

It’s a shame all those plot hooks were left hanging. But this was an okay place to end the story.
Still I wanted to know more about that Ludwig guy who I’m sure was the reason for all the hardship while MC tried to save her mom!
And I wanted to see the reaction to MC telling ML her backstory!
Anyways!
Translator! You’re really skilled!
