Part 2
(Side Story)
Episode 12
“That… I don’t remember the details…”
“Ah. Yes. You wouldn’t remember, would you?”
Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid let out a cold laugh and nodded.
“If I eat this, I might as well be dead.”
With those words, Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid picked up a spoon and scooped up the sauce and yam from the braised chicken all at once, then put it in his mouth in one bite.
His face, resigned and expressionless as he chewed, suddenly froze. Gradually, his eyes began to widen.
Just like in Asdal.
That expression—as if he were about to cry out, “What is this taste—?”
That was when it happened. A hologram suddenly materialized, and the system began activating on its own.
[Emotional synchronization rate of the target subject has changed.]
[Transmigrator Survival Support Mode activated.]
[Activating…]
[Activation complete.]
[Target Subject: Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid]
[Target Subject’s Affection Toward User: ▲10%]
Huh?
I rubbed my eyes and looked at the system window again.
The emotional synchronization rate was already at 10 percent? The last time I checked, it was 0.3 percent?
What is this? Why is raising affection so easy? He’s easier than I thought?
[Kaiden: I want to eat the food Margaret makes too.]
[Archbishop Luzef: I still think about the grilled fish dishes Margaret used to make sometimes.]
[Rosemary: What? I want to eat it too.]
[Kaiden: When is little Flone going home? Are you going to live in my Magic Tower?]
[Rosemary: The Pope is the one living here, isn’t he? I saw him coming out of the shower this morning.]
[Innis: No. How does the Pope conduct himself that a grown man’s naked body is being seen?]
[Archbishop Luzef: That never happened. Miss Rosemary, please refrain from spreading rumors.]
[Rosemary: Ah. He just washed his face in the shower room. What are you thinking, sister?]

I sighed as I watched the transmission data window cut off.
It’s my fault for opening it. It’s not helpful at all.
Anyway, I picked up some meat with chopsticks and ate it, following Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid’s lead.
Of course, I gave Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid a fork, and I used chopsticks since they were more comfortable for me.
My true roots weren’t Korean—I was from Langrid.
However, as a Korean person, once I’d grown accustomed to using chopsticks, living without them felt remarkably inconvenient.
In any case, I popped the meat into my mouth and chewed contentedly, smiling with satisfaction.
It melted delicately on my tongue. I was utterly blissful.
How many days had it been since I’d tasted meat?
I watched with satisfaction as Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid’s spoon and fork movements grew increasingly rapid.
That was when I heard an unfamiliar voice.
“Um….”
“Oh. You startled me!”
So surprised I dropped my chopsticks, I turned my head toward the source of the voice. Standing there were two familiar faces.
Kaiden and Yuanna Lucy.
Wait. Why were these two together in one place…?
Glancing back, Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid showed no surprise, as if he’d already sensed their approach.
It was Yuanna Lucy who spoke to me.
Kaiden, standing behind her with his hands in his pants pockets, was observing me, Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid, and the food with an intrigued expression.
“You are the Crown Princess of Prince Hestia, correct?”
Seeing her, I couldn’t help but recall what the Prince of Asdal had told me.
“I worked her quite relentlessly. It was impressive when the Saint came to me in tears, asking Margaret to stop. She pleaded with me to rein you in.”
Speaking those words, the Prince of Asdal had described the relationship between the Saint and me as “deplorable.” So I was taken aback when she approached me like this.
Yet on the other hand, I was genuinely delighted. She was my one and only friend!
“Rather than asking why a death row inmate is here, I have something more urgent.”
Yuanna Lucy posed her question while casually settling onto the empty rock beside me.
“Could you possibly share some food with us?”
And she asked me with utter audacity and confidence.
I laughed. She was exactly as she’d been when I first met her on the Remote Island—defensive, yet straightforward.
Seeing her like this after so long was genuinely heartwarming.
“As it happens, I have two more servings left.”
They were still warm.
I portioned out the remaining braised bird dish—or rather, braised fowl—into fresh bowls and unfolded another table.
“However, anyone who has tasted my cooking, even once, has received a favor from me.”
Cough.
At my words, Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid, who had been quietly eating the braised fowl, began coughing.
“You’re hinting that we owe you a debt.”
Whether she’d truly heard my words or not, Yuanna Lucy’s eyes lit up and she nodded vigorously before picking up her spoon.
Kaiden followed suit, sitting down with a reluctant expression.
It was clear from his face that he’d lost his appetite upon hearing my words.
“Just wait. I won’t execute you cleanly. Your suffering begins today.”
I recalled what Kaiden had said to me when I was in prison.
Margaret—that is, me—had been the object of Kaiden’s hatred beyond imagination, so would he really eat my food?
But then.
At that very moment, his stomach rumbled loudly.
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr—
It was a far more powerful sound than anything from Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid or the Prince of Asdal.
Kaiden scratched the back of his head with an awkward expression before glancing at me.
“Ahem, ahem. I’m not forgiving your sins, Margaret. But as you said, I will remember the kindness you’ve shown.”
“You talk too much. Just eat. Aren’t you hungry?”
At my words, Kaiden’s ears flushed red.
I had never seen Kaiden look so embarrassed before.
How to put it… this world’s Kaiden seemed to have a somewhat cuter side to him.
Soon after, Kaiden also picked up a spoon following Yuanna Lucy, and the two exchanged glances before simultaneously tasting the sauce.
“Gasp. How can it taste like this…?”
“What kind of dish is this?”
Yuanna Lucy and Kaiden both looked at me in surprise simultaneously.
I rubbed beneath my nose with my index finger.
I felt like I’d become a cooking champion.
I was simply satisfied.
* * *
After finishing the meal, I gathered all the cooking tools and food waste, threw them into the camping trailer, and closed the door. Then the trailer transformed back into a keychain form.
It was the ultimate in convenience. No need to wash dishes or clean up—it was incredibly simple!
After several experiments, I discovered that even if I took items out of the trailer and lost them outside, opening the trailer again would regenerate them.
Furthermore, when I stored items I’d gathered from outside, they were preserved neatly inside.
For instance, perishable ingredients had no problems when kept in the trailer.
Considering the ice in the ice box never melted no matter how much time passed, it wasn’t difficult to predict such properties.
There was no magical artifact quite like this one.
In the meantime, Yuanna Lucy and Kaiden had a heated argument, but since it had nothing to do with me, I’ll skip over it.
Come to think of it, in our world too, those two rarely got along.
It seemed like that tendency was simply more pronounced in this world.
The reason for their fight was trivial. When Yuanna Lucy told Kaiden, “Why are you staring? Lower your eyes,” Kaiden shot back with, “I thought you were a Beast, but you can actually talk,” and that’s how the argument started.
Even four-year-olds wouldn’t fight over something like that.
Sitting on a rock and watching Kaiden and Yuanna Lucy’s quarrel, I was lost in thought when Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid asked me.
“My lady. Do you truly not know where this place is?”
Ah. I turned to look at Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid.
If it was the same as what we experienced in our world, I could make an educated guess about the location, but I wasn’t sure if answering was the right move.
Would answering honestly help raise Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid’s favorability? Or would it be detrimental?
Unfortunately, I couldn’t help but calculate that first.
Our goals were different. Their goal was to escape this Island, while mine was to recover the fragments of Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid’s soul.
‘I still don’t understand why Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid’s soul fragments scattered in the first place.’
Kaiden’s explanation that it was simply bad luck still didn’t convince me.
I could feel it instinctively. There was some other, real reason behind it.
