Reincarnated as a Death Flag Character Who Says, “I’m Going to Get Married After This Battle”. I Aim to Be the Strongest by Avoiding the Marriage Flag. However, Is It My Imagination That the Heroines Stare at Me With Lightless Eyes ……?
Dream. I was dreaming.
I was watching the scene from the sky as if I were astral projection.
“─ ─ I’m going to get married after this battle”
He said this with a very serious face.
Hearing his words, his friends congratulated him and he also seemed to be not too happy about it. The space was indeed filled with happiness.
However, it was a cursed word that would establish absolute cause and effect.
Once uttered, what awaits him is death.
And he will fight through the war. Because his beloved was waiting for him, he could continue to fight.
But…in the end, he falls defending the hero of this story. Fresh blood danced in the air, and he could only look up at this jet-black sky in dismay.
“Hey? Why ……! Why are you protecting me ……?!”
“Haha …… why, I wonder why ……?”
He looked up to the heavens.
The war is already over. The hero’s camp has successfully won a dramatic victory – but it was by no means an unscathed triumph.
It was a hard-fought victory at great cost. He was one of them.
“Yuri! Why …… why ……!”
“Theo. You are needed in the days ahead,…… but I have sacrificed …… too many things. This is my punishment.”
“Oh no. ……! That is …… not true!”
Tears began to flow abundantly from the young man called Theo. Drop by drop, Theo’s tears fell onto Yuri’s body.
“I will definitely, definitely save you… Yuri! There’s no way you deserve to die here…!!”
He tries his best to invoke recovery magic, but the blood does not stop.
Theo is a hero and the strongest adventurer in history. He is an outstanding man who will later be called a hero – but there are still some things that cannot be saved.
Yuri’s vision was already getting worse, and his breathing was getting rough. His condition was beyond the scope of what healing magic could restore, and the light of his life was fading.
Yuri gently touches Theo’s cheek with his bloody hand.
“Theo. Please take care of—…….”
“Yuri! Wait, ……! She’s probably waiting for you to come home!”
Theo holds Yuri’s hand so tight that it hurts, they have promised each other a future. But that future will never come – not anymore.
“See you… It was a short time, but it was fun… I was happy to fight you…”
The power slowly drained from Yuri’s hands. Pupils dilated and pulse stopped. It was an unmistakable sign of death.
“Yuri? Hey?
You’re lying, right? Wait, wait, wait.
Wait a minute. I’ll give you more …… Yuri! Hey! Yuri! Ugh, aaaaaaaaaaa！！！！”
Theo covered Yuri and continued to cry.
Now deceased, with his best friend.
The world is red as far as the eye can see. The earth continues to burn like a red lotus and the sky is filled with black smoke.
All that was here now was the lamentation of one person.

“Ha…!?”
I wake up. The scene was too real to be a dream.
My name was Yuri and my best friend’s name was Theo. But in that dream scene, both of us were old.
“There is no doubt. This face is …….”
I stare at myself in the mirror. My slightly messy bangs cast a shadow on my forehead, and deep within them my cold, piercing eyes shine.
“Don’t tell me I’m reincarnated ……?”
I gently touch my cheek.
At the same time, I remember. In my previous life, I was an office worker in Japan. I was a new graduate, but from the first year I was a corporate slave, working endlessly.
In the midst of it all, the only thing that kept me going was a certain game.
The game was called “Astraea of the Frost” and was so famous as a masterpiece RPG.
While cutting down on my sleeping hours, I got so absorbed in that game that I died and found myself reincarnated in this world ……. Is that what happened to me?
“But is this really that world ……?”
I still don’t feel it yet, but when I followed this Yuri’s memory, it was definitely just as it was in the game.
Yuri gets engaged to someone and dies protecting Theo in the final battle. That much I can now firmly recall.
The only problem is…
“Who am I getting engaged to ……?”
There are several heroines in this work, but the story basically revolves around the main character, Theo.
There is not much information about Yuri. In the original work, he mentioned that he was engaged, but it is not stated who.
Originally, Yuri is a close friend of the main character, Theo, but he falls into the darkness and says to the enemy side. However, at the end of the story, he and Theo reconcile and go into the final battle together.
The story is told from the protagonist’s point of view, so I don’t have much information about Yuri’s side of the story.
“Let’s get the information straight. First of all, I’m doomed to die with a death flag. I don’t know who I’m going to get engaged to. ……”
I’m getting married after this battle. That is an all too well-known death flag. Well, but it’s unclear if it will definitely happen, but it’s better to avoid uncertainty.
Well, this is just a matter of avoiding getting married to someone else. It would be very easy.
In addition, I should be strong enough to survive the final battle, should it happen as it did in the original story. Fortunately, I have a solid understanding of the characteristics of this Yuri.
“The question is …… what happens next.”
I muttered to myself.
In the original story, as I recall, Yuri was an arrogant and cold-hearted person.
Theo, the hero, and Sophia, the heroine, were in the same party, but Yuri was jealous of Theo’s talent and expelled him from the party.
Theo crawls up from there and awakens as a hero. Yuri, on the other hand, is no longer affectionate with Sophia, becomes lonely, and falls into the darkness.
Once on the enemy’s side, Yuri fights Theo, but – by being defeated by Theo – Yuri reforms. Then he becomes one of Theo’s friends again and faces the final battle. …… is the general flow of the story.
“Yes, that’s right. I’ll do it this way.”
I decided to take the plunge here and change the development that I knew.
Now I don’t think Theo is a nuisance, and it’s okay to let that event pass.
Avoiding death flags = not tying up with certain women.
Develop enough strength to survive the war. Or better yet, stop the war itself.
I have decided on these two goals. Well, I think I can afford the former. If I don’t get involved with women more than I have to, I can avoid it.
The question is whether I can acquire power, but I have an idea.
“Okay, let’s go”
And I leave my house, but I don’t think I’ll be back here.
I pack up my stuff and I leave. And the place I’m going to is the Adventurers’ Guild.
When I arrived at the Adventurers’ Guild as usual, I found Theo and Sophia there.
Normally, Yuri would have banished Theo from the party.
“Yuri! Good morning!”
“Yeah”
Theo calls out to me with a dazzling smile.
He is a blonde-haired, blonde-eyed, extremely handsome man. He is like the sun, and has an air of a man befitting a leading man.
“Good morning Yuri-kun.”
And Sophia greets me in the same way. She, too, has the air of a main heroine, like a young lady with a deep window.
We had known each other since childhood and had always been in the same party as adventurers, but I made up my mind and said
“Theo, Sophia. I’m… leaving this party.”
“”──Eh?””
