Part 2
(Side Story)
Episode 2
A death row inmate, locked away in solitary confinement.
Fortunately, there was a window, so I could gauge the passage of time by watching the sky.
With the sun setting, it seemed like the time when the prison guard would arrive with a meal.
I’d intended to slip into the camping trailer for a quick nap, but that didn’t seem feasible given the timing.
The guard would be arriving soon.
Let me grab a cool glass of water from the ice box.
Everything packed inside this camping trailer was modern-era equipment, which made life feel considerably better than it had been in the Langrid Empire.
Should I be grateful for this or not?
Now that Kaiden—who could create things like this—has awakened from hibernation, wouldn’t the world improve somewhat?
I harbored such hopes, but Kaiden firmly shook his head.
He said magic of this sort couldn’t be used in the world where he lived, for the sake of maintaining dimensional balance.
Becoming a transcendent being didn’t mean everything was wonderful. There were far more restrictions than I’d anticipated.
‘In any case, will Margaret be trapped on an island in this parallel world too? From what I can see now, it wouldn’t be strange if I were executed immediately.’
I felt somewhat anxious, but I’d endure for now.
After gulping down the water and tossing the empty bottle back into the trailer, I closed the door.
The trailer then shrank back into a keychain shape. As I slipped it into my pocket, the guard entered with perfect timing.
Ah, let me correct that. The guard wasn’t alone. He came with two men.
They walked down the dim corridor and stopped before the bars of my solitary cell. Only then could I see the faces of the two men.
Silver hair and red eyes, black hair and golden eyes. It was Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid and Kaiden.
Kaiden looked at me and frowned.
“Your complexion looks too healthy. Are they feeding you well in prison?”
…Would they?
I barely managed to hold back my response.
‘Am I really going to be executed and start a second round on the Remote Island at this rate?’
I couldn’t predict how this story would unfold.
“I was curious about your feelings after being backstabbed by a toy you were playing with in your palm. But seeing you now, it seems you’ve managed to endure it.”
Huh? A toy?
I was bewildered by Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid’s question.
A toy? You’re the Crown Prince.
Moreover, Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid’s face—looking at me menacingly while smiling at an angle—was quite eerie and terrifying.
I was struck by the realization that his face could produce such an expression.
‘Could he not be the Crown Prince in this world?’
The fact that he was speaking to me in casual speech from the start suggested as much.
“Ah, this is… difficult to explain. It seems to have happened of my own volition.”
“It seems like you’re hoping I’ll come find you.”
Kaiden’s words lingered in my ears.
Seeing this other world’s Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid’s face made me miss him all the more.
That man is definitely my husband too. Since this is a parallel world. Just as I was able to possess Margaret in this place.
“Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid. Do you recognize me?”
Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid’s eyebrows shot up slightly.
I’d seen that expression before. Was it when I first opened my eyes on the Deserted Island about ten years ago?
“How could I not recognize you, madam? You’re the woman who tried to trample me to death.”
Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid’s formal speech was still terribly awkward.
Wait. Did he just call me madam?
“Am I your wife in this world too?”
“What is this crazy woman talking about? That’s impossible.”
It wasn’t Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid who answered, but Kaiden.
What? Then why did he call me madam? That’s a title for married women.
“Because of your vicious pranks, this man still can’t eat anything but mana. And you dare speak of a wife? Do you have no conscience?”
Kaiden pointed at Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid as he spoke.
He can’t eat anything but mana? Could this be a side effect of absorbing the soul fragment?
Then Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid, who had been quietly observing me, tilted his head and opened his mouth.
“Perhaps….”
We all looked at Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid.
“Never mind.”
But he said nothing more, his words trailing off flatly.
“What is it?”
Kaiden, apparently thinking the same thing, looked at Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid with a bewildered expression.
But Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid gazed at me with calm, unwavering eyes and spoke.
“No. You just seem quite different from usual.”
“You’re acting. Isn’t this just you struggling to survive as your time to die approaches?”
Kaiden was particularly irritating today. Surely this world’s Kaiden must also be the same soul as the one I know.
“Anyway. Hey, Margaret. Endure. I survived ten years in the Magic Tower you imprisoned me in, facing only you.”
I was startled once again by Kaiden’s following words.
What in the world is he talking about?
“Expect it. I won’t execute you nicely. Your suffering will begin from today.”
With those words, Kaiden left the prison, and Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid stood before the bars, staring at me with blazing eyes for a long time.
Then he left one final word.
“If there were someone who could save me from the gutter, it would be you, madam. I once harbored the delusion that you were my savior.”
He let out a soft laugh and continued.
“Why didn’t you at least pretend so I could live in that delusion forever? If you had, I could have remained deceived forever too.”
What on earth did Margaret in this world do?
‘I can earn Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid’s favor, right?’
I was told I could only obtain the soul fragment by earning his favor!
“I hope you think of my face until the very end, madam.”
As he said this, sparks flew from Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid’s eyes as he looked at me. Yet that gaze seemed strangely familiar.
“Wait. Are you perhaps….”
Do you like me?
I swallowed those words.
His gaze was identical to my husband’s. I had a premonition I could articulate in words.
When Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid told me in the past that he liked me, and when he tried to deny his feelings for me even as he harbored them—his eyes held that exact same light then.
No. It could just be my imagination.
Even if this is a completely different world, it’s still Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid. He wouldn’t be that much of a pervert.
Ah. Cancel what I said about not needing the Transmigrator buff. I desperately need it. Desperately!
Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid continued to stare at me silently for a long while afterward. I couldn’t fathom what he was thinking.
Eventually, he turned his head heavily and left the prison.
As he disappeared, silence descended upon the dim prison. Fortunately, no one came looking for me after that.
That was when it happened. Suddenly, the keyring began to sparkle and emit light.
I tilted my head as I watched the blinking keyring.
“Does the keyring have this function?”
With that question in mind, as I grasped the keyring, a hologram suddenly materialized in midair.
[System Access Signal Confirmed]
[The ‘Transmigrator Survival Support System’ is beginning operation.]
[User Recognition in Progress…]
Huh?
What is this? It was a holographic system window that looked like something straight out of a science fiction movie.
‘The keyring has this function too?’
I felt like I’d truly become a science fiction dimensional traveler.
[System Synchronization Complete]
[The identity of the implanted Transmigrator has been confirmed.]
[Soul Wavelength Compatibility Between Transmigrator and Host Body: 100%]
[Biological Rhythm Instability]
[Survival Rate: 11%]
[The ‘Transmigrator Survival Support System’ will now be activated.]
Wow.
I gazed at the hologram in admiration.
The hologram began to automatically assess my condition and situation.
[Objective: 【Find the soul fragments of Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid from the original dimension!】 Completion Rate: 0/5]
[Current Location: Parallel Dimension #01 – Langrid Empire Central Prison, Basement Level 3, Sector D-7]
[Prison Security Level: Maximum]
[External Communication and Mana Wavelength Blocked]
If this is an AI system window, would conversation be possible? Or would it respond to commands?
So I carefully opened my mouth.
“I want to escape from prison. Can you help me?”
.
.
.
Silence.
The hologram gave no response. It simply remained frozen on the system window displaying my status.
“What is this ‘Parallel Dimension #01’? Does it mean the first parallel world?”
I posed the question again, but silence persisted.
I smacked my lips with a disappointed expression.
Well, there’s nothing to be done about it.
But then, in that very moment.
[Urgent Notice: External signal detected.]
“External signal? What is that?”
[Would you like to connect?
yes/no]
