Part 2
(Side Story)
Episode 3
Of course, yes! Yes!
[Interdimensional Communication Module Activating…]
[Connection Successful: Original Dimension]
[Transmission Status: Unstable >>> Switching to Limited Mode.]
Limited mode?
From the way it says transmission, it seems someone has requested communication with me.
And I recalled exactly one person who would make such a request of me.
Kaiden.
[※ Notice ※
Currently, only text data can be transmitted. Voice and video signals have been blocked.
If you activate the transmission system, you can receive text data from the ‘Original Dimension’ in real time.
Would you like to activate the system?
yes/no]
Of course it’s yes! Yes!
[Kaiden: Margaret, do you like my gift? Looks like you’re using it well.]
[Yuanna: Meg. Show us Meg’s power! Even though you’re on death row, escaping should be easy for Meg!]

Can they see me from that world?
No. More than that. Yuanna’s comment is bewildering.
Escape being easy? Me being on death row? The system clearly said this prison’s security was the highest grade!
But before that, I wanted to resolve the flood of questions pouring in.
“Kaiden. Can you see me? Is everyone seeing me right now? This is a system window. Did you create this, Kaiden?”
Talking to myself in prison was hitting me with a reality check, but surprisingly, an answer came back.
[Kaiden: The keyring I gave you. It has a communication function. I’m watching you from here.]
[Kaiden: I didn’t set up the system. I only set the communication function, but that Magical Tool crossed dimensions and evolved. This is my first time seeing something like that too.]
[Prince of Asdal: There seems to be some communication interference, so it’s cutting out a bit. It reminds me of when we used video communication ten years ago.]
[Prince of Asdal: I’m watching carefully from here, so don’t worry. Hahahaha.]
[Archbishop Luzef: His Majesty the Emperor is sleeping like the dead. Lord has set up a puppet for now, and Duke Flone and Prince of Asdal are assisting.]

Was Langrid really going to be alright….
But this was an emergency situation. It was practically wartime.
Even if I were standing in for Enoch, problems would still arise.
So for Langrid’s sake, I had to hurry and find the fragments of Enoch’s soul.
That was the most urgent problem I needed to solve right now.
Still, thinking that my colleagues were supporting me in every way and watching over me gave me a sense of reassurance.
‘By the way, even Kaiden doesn’t know anything about the system. Can I even trust this?’
That was when someone entered the prison cell. It was the Prison Guard who watched over my solitary confinement.
The hologram floating before my eyes was invisible to him, it seemed.
“Come out. The Guard Captain is waiting for you in the Interrogation Room.”
Oh. Damn. So it was real.
Looks like real torture was starting today.
“Um. Could I use the restroom first?”
At my question, the Prison Guard’s expression soured. It was the look of ‘are you serious?’
“The restroom is right there, isn’t it?”
He pointed to the toilet in the corner of the solitary cell.
Right. The open-structure toilet I’d been ignoring came into view.
I hadn’t used the restroom in ten days?
Surprisingly, I hadn’t. Was it a side effect of Possession or something like that.
“There are too many eyes watching here, so I can’t do it. Could you please preserve my dignity?”
The Prison Guard looked at me with an expression that said ‘what eyes?’ He clearly didn’t understand.
Right. You wouldn’t know! About the eyes watching me from the Original Dimension!
He scowled irritably.
“If you don’t move right now….”
Seeing him pull out a leather whip, I quickly got to my feet.
“I’m, I’m going. I’m going.”
My hands and feet were trembling uncontrollably.
What crime had Margaret in this world committed anyway?
But when I asked the Prison Guards, none of them gave me a proper answer.
[Yuanna Lucy: Meg, don’t be scared. You can escape if you really need to. Just break out if things get bad.]

What did Yuanna Lucy think I was anyway….
No matter who I was, escaping as a death row inmate was impossible.
In any case, after walking down some unknown Corridor for a while, I descended into the Basement, deeper and deeper, until a dark Room appeared.
It was a Room lit only by a single Candle, and the Floor was covered in bloodstains.
My legs trembled violently, and terror washed over me.
A Prison Guard dragged me to a chair and bound my limbs with restraints.
“Wait here.”
After saying that, the Prison Guard extinguished the Candles—the only source of light in the room—and left.
As the door closed, complete darkness consumed me.
The moment I thought I would suffocate from maddening terror, someone whispered in my ear.
“What if I threw you in among the Experiments? Now that would be entertaining.”
“…Pardon?”
“Don’t you resent the men who threw you in here?”
It was a young boy’s voice. And my intuition screamed—I knew this voice.
Damn it.
How could I forget this voice? That damned Jenas bastard.
“Shall I give you one more chance? A chance to clear your false accusation and turn those men’s hearts.”
“I don’t need—”
I was about to say I didn’t need it, but the thought occurred to me that this might be better than being tortured here.
[Kaiden: That fucking bastard.]

Jenas, unable to know what Kaiden was cursing about in the Original Dimension, chuckled softly.
Stop that. Don’t show your fangs. If I reach that Island, you’re a dead man too.
At that moment, Jenas made his own judgment and answered.
“Fine. I’ll help you.”
“I said I don’t need—”
Before I could finish my response, I lost consciousness.
Damn it all.
What Jenas posed to me wasn’t a question. The answer was already decided.
* * *
When I regained consciousness, rain was falling softly.
It was cold.
My head was spinning.
I lay on a cold floor. The scent of wet grass and earth seeped into my nostrils.
I slowly pushed myself up. My body ached everywhere.
Dark clouds hung overhead and rain continued to fall, making my surroundings dim. Perhaps it was even darker because I was in the Forest.
I had been in Prison just moments ago. Lately, my location kept changing against my will, making everything feel utterly unreal.
‘Though the pain, cold, and hunger certainly felt real enough.’
Fluttering— Chirping— Chirping—
I saw birds soaring high into the Sky.
I couldn’t even guess what species they were. Their beaks were extraordinarily long, and their Wings were as massive as an eagle’s.
All around me, towering trees blocked every direction. Massive pillars of wood, so thick that two or three adults linking arms couldn’t encircle them, loomed everywhere with an awe-inspiring and terrifying presence.
Rocks lay half-buried in the earth, smothered beneath moss and vines, while the ground was carpeted with slippery fallen leaves—one misstep and I’d tumble to the forest floor.
Uuuuu—
From somewhere distant, the low cry of an unidentifiable Beast echoed through the woods.
My instincts screamed that this place was dangerous, and I quickly pushed myself to my feet.
As I did, something tumbled from my body and clattered to the ground. A keyring. A camping trailer keyring.
Right. I had this!
With this, I could live through Possession without any real disadvantages. Besides, I’d done it once before—surely I could manage it again.
[Kaiden: Go full Bear Grylls mode.]
[※

Bear Grylls mode, huh.
I’d used that phrase once in front of Kaiden and Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid, and when they asked what it meant, I explained it. Ever since, they’ve been using it constantly. I shouldn’t have told them.
Just then, status information appeared in the system window.
[Survival Rate: 7%]
Why did my survival rate drop even further?
A 7% survival rate basically means survival is impossible.
[Objective: 【Find the soul fragments of Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid from the Original Dimension!】 Achievement Rate: 0/5]
[Current Location: Parallel Dimension #01 – Southern Coastal Area of Langrid Empire. Alea Island. Forest in the direction of the southern coastline.]
I checked my location through the system window.
So this really was Alea Island.
And as expected, the location was South Island.
“Can you show me a map, by any chance?”
In response to my question, a hologram recalibrated its data and displayed a map. Oh.
Fortunately, this was indeed the island I remembered.
