I was reincarnated into this novel… Wait, no! I was reincarnated 10 years before the events of the novel took place? The setting of the novel is a prison that’s even worse than hell itself. This and that happened, and ten years flew by. I’m now the top dog of this prison. * “Hey, Mint. I’ve got a job for you. Get working.” “You’re saying all this stuff, but I don’t know what you mean.” Despite being the top dog, I pretend to be an idiot. But I’m fine with that. It’s one of the plus sides of being dead. “Pretend to be dead on paper. In exchange, I’ll do something for you.” “I don’t know what you’re talking about.” Then an opportunity crept up like a sweet, sweet lie. “If you help me, I’ll release you from this prison.” “What shall I do for you, Master?” “....” With those words, the prison warden was able to order around the prison idiot. “There’s a new inmate that’s being brought in. Make him the new top dog of the prison.” This place is called a prison, but within these walls is total anarchy. As long as I can make this guy the new top dog, I’ll be free of this place at last. “But you’re going to have to go over to the men’s prison.” “...Eh? Do you really think I’ve got the parts for the job?” “You’ll be in disguise, a disguise!” But alas! The new inmate is the male lead of the novel.

I transmigrated into a fantasy novel where the male protagonist, in his attempt to save the world, lose his comrades ine by one, leading to eventual destruction. My role is a villainous princess with an excessively innocent mind. I obsess over the male lead, pick fights, and eventually die in a demon attack, thus plunging the reputation of the knight order the male lead belongs to into ruin... 'Oh, this isn't a knight order, it's a rabble!' I looked around at the disheveled knights with a dumbfounded expression. "Sir, Are you properly contracted? What about overtime pay? Is there any compensation in case of accidents? How about medical support for mental stress and physical injuries?" "Why are you suddenly asking this, Your Highness?" The male lead asked me suspiciously. Well, I once obsessively pursued him, so I understand his wariness. "You should call me 'Administrator' instead of 'Your Highness'." "No, that's..." "Kashia Astrid, as of today, you've been assigned as the administrative supply officer for the Azure Radiance Knights." I smiled sweetly at the bewildered male lead. "Also, please rest assured, I'll no longer obssess over you anymore." His looks? Obsession? Sweet and bitter romance? What use are those when the world is on the brink of destruction! "If you keep this up, I might accidentally send a letter of complaint to the Emperor about this matter." Playing the villainess, I even slapped him in the commander's office. "Hey, do you want us to wash your socks too? Do you lost your hands? Huh?" I even confronted the absurd military culture. "Don't be discouraged, it's not your fault." I comforted the mentally shattered future saviors. "Hurrah for the Administrative Supply Officer!" "You're our savior!" "Hail, Kashia!" ...Why did our knights turn into my fan club? And on top of that... "The Administrator will never leave us. Do you understand?" Why did even the stoic male lead lose his composure?!
