*Katarina Claes was reborn as a villainous daughter in an otome game when she hit her head and regained memories of her previous life. She struggled to safely a destruction end and seize a happy future.* *Sure…. A romantic comedy of avoiding destruction flags is now available as an otome game. The stage of the game is the luxury liner, and the doom flag is a “pirate”?! This is the beginning of a new bad end avoidance story**.*

## Summary

Katarina Claes has memories of her previous life as a high school girl. In the world of “FORTUNE LOVER”, she was reincarnated as a villainess stood in between of the love of the main characters, and whose endings only lead to a future of exile or death; but managed to avoid the destruction flags of the game safely.

For some reason, Katarina and her brother-in-law, Keith, attend the completion event of a luxury cruise ship, The Vinklem, and joined Geordo and the other members of the student council, who were also invited. They spend a lively time on the ship as it sailed gracefully through the sea. However, such a pleasant time is suddenly interrupted by a pirate attack. The Vinklem is taken over by the pirates, and Katarina and her friends are locked up on board. This situation seems to have something to do with the "Katarina's doom episode that was not adopted in the main story" that was published in the fan book of "FORTUNE LOVER"...? Is this is a revival of the doom flag that was supposed to be shelved!? Will Katarina and the others be able to return to the Sorcier Kingdom safely?

### Check-point

This work is a game original story that depicts the events of the spring break of the first year of the school where Katarina safely avoided the doom flag of the otome game world (main story “FORTUNE LOVER”).
