Part 2
(Side Story)
Episode 5
Well, that changes things… or does it really change anything?
The fact remained that this world had a drastically higher difficulty level for conquering the Male Lead compared to the past I’d experienced.
“In any case, this kidnapping was quite entertaining. Breaking out of prison and abducting your ex-husband—and none other than Prince Hestia, no less. Such audacity! I find myself falling for you all over again.”
I watched the Prince of Asdal lean against the curved cave wall with a satisfied expression, his eyes closing, and I couldn’t help but click my tongue.
Even though our relationship had changed in this parallel world, why did the Prince of Asdal’s cunning nature remain exactly the same?
The fact that the Prince of Asdal was my ex-husband was shocking enough, but I was also curious about what bizarre things the Margaret of this parallel world had done to make him mention both Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid and Kaiden like that.
No. Actually, I wasn’t curious. I didn’t want to know.
I waited, grimacing at the thought, until the Prince of Asdal fell into a deep sleep.
And then came dawn.
Once I confirmed that the Prince of Asdal’s breathing had deepened, I quietly rose from my spot.
Fortunately, the rain had stopped. With all the dark clouds gone and moonlight streaming through, tomorrow looked like it would be a beautiful day.
‘Does the weather matter right now? Let’s just get out of here.’
I slipped out of the Cave and, after confirming that the Prince of Asdal hadn’t woken, let out a relieved breath.
I needed to move as far away as possible. Far, far away.
As long as I had a Compass, I wouldn’t get lost no matter where this place was.
If there was an expert at navigation, that would be me.
On top of that, I now had a keyring equipped with system window functions.
‘What’s important to me right now is finding Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid.’
After all, the reason I’d come to this parallel world was because of him.
“I was curious how it felt to be backstabbed by a toy you played with in the palm of your hand. Now I see it was bearable.”
I recalled the words Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid had spoken to me in the Prison.
That expression, that tone of voice, that breathing—I would never forget them. It was eerie because he was so different from the Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid I knew.
‘He definitely said he was Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid of the parallel world.’
The me of the parallel world is still me. That’s why I was able to possess Margaret’s body like this.
But no matter how I looked at it, the Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid of this place was considerably different from the one I knew. Perhaps it was because our circumstances were different?
‘Sigh. Let me just meet Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid first. I’ll figure things out after we meet.’
First, I pulled out the Compass from inside the camping trailer and checked the direction. While I was at it, I didn’t forget to rummage through the Equipment.
I dressed in comfortable Cargo Pants and hiking boots, threw on a Fallen Leaves-colored T-shirt and a khaki windbreaker, and tied my hair up in a single knot.
Then, stepping out of the camping trailer, I looked around my surroundings. Fortunately, there didn’t seem to be any Magical Beasts or Beasts nearby.
‘Jenas must be here too.’
That damned bastard. If I had my way, I’d drag the Jenas of this place here and punish him too, but that’s not my goal.
Don’t forget. After all, Jenas said he watches through the eyes of the Magical Beasts and Beasts living on the Island anyway.
Without the Beasts and Magical Beasts, my privacy would be somewhat protected.
But even after the day had broken and I walked and walked, the great River that crossed between South Island and North Island was nowhere to be seen.
‘Damn it. This is exhausting.’
I wanted to sleep. Maybe I should take a short nap inside the camping trailer for a few hours.
The camping trailer usually maintained its form for about 3-4 hours. That should be enough time for a short nap.
I began searching for a suitable location to deploy the camping trailer.
Beneath the Cliff, I spotted a space surrounded by thick Wooden Posts and Bushes.
Yes. This is it.
I settled there and pulled out the camping trailer.
Opening the Door, I stepped inside and sat down on the cramped Floor.
“The world has become so convenient. We never had anything like this back in my day.”
Indeed, being able to rest in such a comfortable camping trailer interior was truly moving.
Back then, Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid and I would sleep on the Floor with Fallen Leaves and Tree Branches spread beneath us.
Though in truth, it wasn’t that the world had improved—it was that Kaiden’s Ability had been upgraded.
Yet as I tried to rest, something about beginning genuine Survival made me anxious sitting idle.
In the end, I decided to inspect the camping trailer’s interior once more.
The small trailer’s interior, with camping Equipment gleaming silver on every wall shelf, was organized with flawless efficiency.
“First. Cooking Equipment.”
I pulled out a notepad I’d looted from the trailer and began creating an Equipment list.
A portable gas burner and collapsible Stainless Steel pot, frying pan set, cauldron and Cooking utensils, auto-ignition Lantern, portable induction cooker, instant Food Supply packets, a filter Water Purification system that could purify Water immediately, and a collapsible Water container.
Perfect.
Especially when I saw the Brita filter Water Purification system, I was so moved I nearly shed tears.
I remembered the days when I’d struggled in the Wilderness, gathering Coconuts and using scraps of Dress fabric to purify Water.
‘Get a grip. Come on. Next.’
There was no time.
I turned my gaze to the side and examined the heating and sleeping Equipment section.
There was a Gore-Tex insulated sleeping bag, heating pads, a collapsible Makeshift Bed, a waterproof mat, an ultralight blanket, a portable heater, and fuel canisters.
“Wait. How is all of this even fitting inside the trailer?”
And I hadn’t even examined half of it yet.
Could this also be Magic warping the space?
It appeared to be only about fifty square meters, yet somehow an enormous amount of items fit inside, all organized neatly.
It made no sense, yet it did. I felt as though my spatial awareness had been lost.
‘K-Kaiden must have managed it somehow.’
I decided to trust Kaiden.
In any case, the next section was Exploration and Mountain Climbing Equipment.
There were LED head Lanterns and multi-function Lanterns, Mountain Climbing sticks and crampons, a collapsible Shovel and Axe. There were also Rope, carabiners, and climbing harnesses.
“Wait, but do all of these actually work?”
I stopped taking notes and examined a Lantern. Some Equipment charged via battery, while others required disposable batteries.
“Ugh. What? I can’t use any of these.”
Moving to the next section with great disappointment, I discovered something remarkable.
A solar charging panel and auxiliary battery pack.
Moreover, this auxiliary battery pack could be used with almost every electronic device.
“This is insane.”
Wave after wave of emotion washed over me.
“Huh? What’s this?”
Among them were some familiar items. There was a multi-purpose survival knife and a flare gun.
The appearance was even similar to the Flare I used to carry.
“Is this a modified version too? It feels like it’s been upgraded somehow.”
I slipped the Flare into the belt looped around my Cargo Pants.
Beyond that, there was practically everything one could need in terms of first aid, sanitation, and living Equipment.
There were no raw ingredients, but basic seasonings like butter, salt, and pepper were present, along with all the Cooking Equipment.
I didn’t need to scavenge Alea Island hunting for modern items.
I pulled out my hip bag and packed it with portable Equipment—things I could use in an emergency.
Grrrrrrrrrr—
My stomach growled.
Come to think of it, I’d barely eaten in the Prison, and I’d gone completely without Food since yesterday.
‘I wonder if the Prince of Asdal is eating well.’
Now that I thought about it, the Prince of Asdal’s Survival Skills seemed nearly nonexistent, which worried me.
‘No. I shouldn’t worry so much.’
Yuanna Lucy was there with him, after all.
I deliberately shook my head and pushed thoughts of the Prince of Asdal away.
Before selecting Cooking Equipment, I decided to forage for ingredients first.
Third time on the Remote Island. By now, I knew Alea Island better than anyone. I was an expert.
With my Survival Skills combined with knowledge of Alea Island, there was nothing I couldn’t do here.
‘Let me start with vegetables and Mushroom Gathering.’
From surviving nearly half a year on Alea Island, I knew well what ingredients were available here.
It was while I was gathering edible Mushrooms from the Trees with my ingredient Basket that I discovered something strange.
Between the Bushes lay something like a pink feather duster scattered in the undergrowth.
An ominous premonition washed over me.
‘This… I feel like I shouldn’t touch this.’
My eyes lost focus.
I turned my head, pretending not to see it, and reached for other Mushrooms. Then—
Snap—
A hand shot out from the Bushes and grabbed my wrist.
“Where do you think you’re going?”
The Prince of Asdal lifted his head and looked at me.
Wait. Was he hoping I’d grab his hair?
