2. Here are some details from the equivalent web novel chapter by Chise to help give some context for this chapter. These notes do not spoil future plot developments, but serve as more information to fill out the story.
3. • Yvonne's family was exiled after her father was charged with corruption and treason.
4. • The fish that Yvonne is eating is described as a common seafood that is popularly consumed among the lesser classes but shunned by the nobility for its strong smell.
5. • At some point in the story (presumably a few years before the present), though a commoner, Elsa was identified as an extremely powerful magic user. She is able to control five different elements as opposed to most magic-users' one - which is how the girls in the border town school had heard of her.
6. • Yvonne notes that the game always had set the heroine as a pretty powerful default level (even without getting good gacha pulls), and that her magic was supposed to get more powerful and unique with the different love interests. If Elsa got together with the second prince, she'd have light magic; if she got with the demon prince, she'd have dark magic, and so on.
7. • Yvonne also notes that at this point in the game's story, the heroine's magic level was only a bit higher than your average magic-user at this point, but that small difference already made a huge impact.
8. • In the web novel version, Elsa cleans up Yvonne with wind and fire magic after the altercation.
9. • As noted in the previous notes, the villainess's endings are not exclusive of each other - so, Yvonne's in a situation where both the "criminal charges" and "exile" endings are both active.
