The Charming Empire (Complete)
By Tch.
Simple endings guide for each character.
I'm not sure if this guide is really necessary as the routes seem easy enough so far, but I jot down my answers when playing otome games anyway so thought I'd pop them into a guide.
Thanks J-senpai for the heads up about the quick normal endings!

The flirty cafe owner... who is played by one of my favourite voice actors!

Getting the happy ending is fairly straightforward, if you've chosen a good response then a heart with the words UP will appear, signalling the character's affection has increased. In some cases both choices will grant the affection increase so it just depends on how you'd like your MC to respond, for this I've written both answers down. If only one option gives rep I will just add that to the guide.
For the normal ending you can pick either option if they both grant rep and I will only add the one option that doesn't give any rep at all (which is what we're looking for in the normal route)
Sorry if that doesn't make any sense, hopefully it will become apparent in the guide!

Perhaps you wanna remove the " SAVE HERE " from Soshi Amazaki - Happy Ending since it's not working.

Thank you for the guide :MyLover_PinkBowtie:

Yeah, I had the same problem with Soshi's normal ending. Full route worked.

I wasn't able to get Soshi Amazaki - Normal Ending using "quick version", but full version worked flawlessly.
