Chapter 145
At my words, Yuanna Lucy turned to look at me. Kaiden, who had been lost in thought, added his own observation.
“Jenas’s Cabin works by sealing Anata to use Mana, but once we step outside the Cabin, Jenas can’t use Magic either.”
At Kaiden’s words, Yuanna Lucy nodded in agreement. Seeing her affirmation, Kaiden opened his mouth again.
“Then we need to lure Jenas outside.”
He was right. Jenas was also restricted in his Mana outside the Cabin. Moreover, since he appeared as a young boy, if we could all drag him outside, suppressing him would be easy.
“I think we should split into teams. One team to lure that damned brat out and buy time, and another to break Anata’s Seal and bring her with us.”
Everyone agreed with Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid’s proposal.
So Yuanna Lucy, Eun-ji, and I would enter the Cabin, while the rest would draw Jenas out. That was our first plan.
Without the success of the first plan, realizing the second plan—escaping the Island—would be virtually impossible.
We had almost no information about how to escape the Island or how to confront Jenas, so we needed to obtain clues through Anata.
Therefore, we absolutely had to succeed with the first plan.
“But how do we break Anata’s Seal?”
“Hmm…”
At my question, Yuanna Lucy also seemed uncertain, her expression troubled. Kaiden, who was organizing his things and packing his Luggage, casually added a comment.
“If all else fails, just destroy the Cabin.”
Destroy that entire Cabin…? But wouldn’t Anata get hurt in the process?
Seeing my expression, Kaiden smiled.
“I’m just speaking hypothetically. Ask Anata. She seems like she’d know anything.”
“Right, well. We don’t have any other Options anyway, so let’s figure out the method as we go.”
At Yuanna Lucy’s words, I nodded and gazed worriedly at Archbishop Luzef, who still hadn’t awakened.
Would he be alright?

Jenas smiled as he observed the situation of Margaret Rose Flone’s Party inside the Cabin through the Eyes of Magical Beasts of a crow.
“They seem to be coming this way. Should I go greet them?”
Jenas brought a Chair next to Anata and sat down, muttering to himself. Anata frowned in annoyance at the Space Between Eyebrows.
Of course, Jenas, who gave no consideration whatsoever to Anata’s mood, continued speaking with a smile.
“When you think about it, this isn’t so bad either. Thanks to opening the regression Gate, our descendant is alive too.”
Jenas had become unusually talkative recently. Anata frowned upon hearing his words.
The descendant he spoke of was also Anata’s descendant. He must be referring to Kaiden Blake Rohade.
“In the last cycle, our descendant died, so I gave up on taking over his body. But this time he’s become useful and returned.”
Jenas stroked his small chin with his tiny hand, his face contemplative as he fell silent.
“Since this is the last one, my expectations are high. If I can sweep everything away in one go and leave only the Saint, it should work out.”
“You’re ending the Experiment all at once?”
“Yes. I’ve waited too long already. Anata, the Saint will become ‘Alea’, right? The seventh lucky number that escapes the Dice Game is Alea. If she survives until the end, she’ll have to take her own life again. That’s pitiful.”
“How would you know who survives until the end?”
Anata answered irritably.
“I’m just predicting. The Priests always survived until the end. Those blessed by God, born with fortune.”
Jenas slowly rose from his seat. Then, opening the Room of Rest Door, he glanced back at Anata.
“You said Yuanna Lucy is a Saint who appeared after a hundred years, so she must have received tremendous blessing from God. I’m looking forward to it.”
And so, having said all he wished to say until the very end, he vanished. Left alone in the room, Anata bit her lip hard.
‘Damn it, what on earth is he thinking?’
* * *
Our greatest concern was Archbishop Luzef. Even when Kaiden cast healing magic using my Mana, he did not awaken.
“His breathing is steady enough….”
Yuanna Lucy gazed at Archbishop Luzef, who was slung across Kaiden’s shoulder, her worry evident.
“Let’s wait a bit longer. He’s still safe, after all.”
I nodded at her words. Then I glanced at the Bag she was carrying.
She’d apparently emptied the Supply Warehouse of everything useful, and there was far more we could use than I’d expected. There was Asdal’s Crossbow, of course, along with two new Swords and Flares with Ammunition.
Yuanna Lucy noticed me looking at her Bag and smiled at me.
“By the way, Young Lady. We’re partners now, right?”
“We are?”
I asked her back in confusion.
Kaiden, who had been walking ahead, narrowed the space between his eyebrows and turned to look at us.
“Hey, Saint. Stop being so clingy with Margaret.”
When Kaiden said things like this, Archbishop Luzef would normally chime in at this point with a quip to mind his own business….
“Isn’t that something a Lord shouldn’t say?”
Then, as if filling the void left by Archbishop Luzef, the voice of Prince of Asdal came from behind us. Kaiden’s face went pale as if he’d received shocking news, and he turned to look at me.
“What do you mean…! Margaret, was I being clingy with you?”
I burst out laughing at Kaiden’s urgent questioning. Here we go again.
At first it was annoying, but now it seemed rather endearing. The way he looked at me with those bright, hopeful eyes was quite charming.
I quietly admired Kaiden’s handsome face, then looked at Archbishop Luzef sleeping peacefully against his shoulder. Only then did I remember what Archbishop Luzef had asked me to tell Kaiden.
“Oh, the Archbishop asked me to tell you something.”
“Huh? What is it?”
Kaiden tilted his head with a puzzled expression. I hesitated for a moment, my lips moving uncertainly. For some reason, my chest ached.
“That you… have your uses too.”
Upon hearing those words, Kaiden seemed deeply flustered. It was the first time I’d seen him make such an expression.
“Geez… he’s making me out to be such a pathetic person….”
Kaiden muttered with a deflated expression, his words trailing off. His bewilderment was still evident.
“Could it be that the Archbishop won’t awaken until we extract the mass of vengeful spirits?”
Diego Bastian Vilterheim, who had been quietly listening to our conversation as he walked, asked.
Hearing that made me a little anxious. What if that’s really the case?
“Don’t worry. No matter what happens, I’ll take care of everything.”
Kaiden patted my head comfortingly, as if he understood everything in my heart.
“We’ll make camp here today. We should reach the Cabin by tomorrow.”
Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid, who had been walking at the front, spoke while looking at his Map.
We decided to arrange our Sleeping Area in the Tree Top. The Magical Beasts hadn’t completely disappeared yet.
We split into pairs of two and climbed the Tree. I formed a team with Yuanna Lucy, since we were the same gender.
Tomorrow, I would truly meet Jenas and rescue Anata….
If the Plan succeeds, will we be able to return?
Something felt off.
‘Can we really succeed?’
I secured myself firmly to the Wooden Post and lifted my head, catching sight of Yuanna Lucy gazing at me with a gentle smile. I stared back at her face distantly.
Now that I thought about it, I hadn’t asked her that question yet—about how her soul was bound to This Island, preventing her escape.
“Is there something you’re curious about?”
She smiled with an unhurried, composed expression. Even facing any situation, she remained unshaken and resolute—truly admirable.
Perhaps that’s why the image I’d seen in the Bunker before the regression, where she wept, felt more genuine now. I felt a twinge of regret for all the days I’d harbored suspicion toward her.
If I were truly Margaret Rose Flone, I shouldn’t have doubted her.
“Is it really true that the Saint cannot escape?”
“Ah….”
At my question, she exhaled with an expression suggesting it was a difficult inquiry.
“Unfortunately. That’s how it is.”
Was there truly no way? Truly none at all?
“If it were Anata…. If it were her, she might know a way, wouldn’t she…?”
At my question, Yuanna Lucy nodded as if it were of little consequence. Yet her demeanor suggested she was answering reluctantly, without any real hope.
She leaned her back against the Wooden Post and gazed up at the Sky with a distant look. After remaining lost in thought for a while, choosing her words carefully, she turned to me again and spoke.
“Since she constructed This Island and designed the system called ‘Alea,’ she might know something. But at least among the information she shared with me, there was nothing like that.”
I was startled by her words. This was something I hadn’t known.
“Anata created the Island? Not Jenas?”
“Jenas was the one who planned and conducted the Experiment. He’s truly the greatest mastermind behind this entire Experiment.”
That damned Jenas.
God, I’d kill that bastard and go to heaven.
While I was grinding my teeth at Jenas, Yuanna Lucy asked me a question.
“When we leave This Island, how much time do you think will have passed?”
How much time would have elapsed? That was something I was curious about too.
“Wouldn’t time have passed proportional to how long we spent on This Island?”
“Perhaps they’re waging war. With all the Key Figures from each nation gone, it would be stranger if nothing happened and everything remained intact.”
War, then.
I would have to live as Margaret Rose Flone again now. So I’d need to adapt to that world’s people, but if war had broken out….
My head was beginning to throb terribly.
“I don’t know everything either. I had no choice but to listen to and believe only what Anata told me.”
Yuanna Lucy, who had been watching me quietly, spoke to me gently. As if to say she couldn’t answer all my questions.
She was right. She was a victim of the Experiment too—how could she blindly trust what the perpetrator told her?
Then, I heard Diego Bastian Vilterheim and Kaiden arguing in a nearby Tree.
“Damn it! I’m telling you, I can’t see Margaret from here!”
“The Lord has already secured most of the positions, hasn’t he? This is an unfair seating arrangement. I shall move to that side.”
Kaiden kept asking Diego Bastian Vilterheim to give up his spot, and as a result, Diego was uncharacteristically irritated at being displaced.
My face was hidden behind Tree Leaves and Tree Branches, so I couldn’t see Kaiden’s face—it seemed that was the source of this quarrel.
Sigh… How embarrassing, acting so foolishly….
I was shaking my head at Kaiden when Yuanna Lucy, seeing me like that, asked a question.
“Margaret, which of those two men do you like?”
“…What? Between Kaiden and Diego Bastian Vilterheim?”
Startled by her question, I countered reflexively before glancing toward Kaiden and Diego Bastian Vilterheim. Then Yuanna Lucy waved her hand and corrected herself.
“Oh, not Diego Bastian Vilterheim. Between Lord and Your Highness Crown Prince. Which man does Margaret like?”
“Uh…. What?”
