Part 2
(Side Story)
Episode 19
[Unable to process that request.]
“Then I want to find Margaret Rose Flone’s memories from Parallel Dimension #01. Transfer those memories to me.”
[Unable to process that request.]
But as expected, the system’s responses were limited.
I sat on the Bed and deliberated before carefully selecting my next question.
“Activate ‘Transmigrator Survival Support Mode’ and let me search again.”
[Activating Transmigrator Survival Support Mode…]
[Upon meeting specific conditions, partial memory transfer from Margaret Rose Flone of Parallel Dimension #01 becomes possible]
[Condition: Find the ‘Key of Memory’]
I had a hunch, and sure enough, the ‘Transmigrator Survival Support Mode’ proved useful. I’d need to input commands this way going forward.
“What is this Key of Memory?”
[It refers to traces left behind by Margaret Rose Flone of Parallel Dimension #01. (ex. objects, locations, people, etc.)]
Hmm. That’s far too broad and vague.
Rather than hunt for that, wouldn’t it be better to just forget about the false accusation and focus on raising Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid’s affection to the point where I could kiss him?
‘The last time I checked, the emotional synchronization rate was at ten percent.’
Judging by how quickly it rose after I cooked for him, wouldn’t a few more meals get me to eighty percent in no time?
I sighed and opened the Window. Outside was dark, the sun having already set.
“System. Locate Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid’s position.”
I don’t need anyone else. If I can just conquer Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid, why do we keep getting separated?
[Unable to process that request.]
As expected, just like with the Prince of Asdal, location data for the other person wasn’t provided.
Ugh. At this rate, how long would it take to raise Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid’s affection and move to the next dimension?
In the end, I closed the Window and lay down on the Bed.
From the adjacent Room, I could hear the Prince of Asdal and Jenas bickering, though I couldn’t make out what they were saying.
Since both were difficult, it was probably a quarrel over who would claim the Bed.
I’d distributed sleeping bags to each of them precisely for this reason. Idiots.
I shook my head and closed my eyes.
Knock, knock.
Someone knocked on my Room Door.
“Older sister. May I come in?”
It was Jenas.
I sighed, got up from my spot, and turned on the LED Lantern I’d placed on the nightstand.
“Come in.”
Jenas opened the Door and stepped into the Room, then froze when he saw my LED Lantern. Watching the curiosity and desire gleaming in his eyes as he stared at the Lantern, I let out a hollow laugh.
Jenas remained true to form, even in this parallel world.
“What is it?”
“I’m scared. Could I sleep with you, older sister?”
What kind of nonsense is this?
I know that Jenas isn’t a child.
I’m fully aware that he’s actually an adult male and what he truly looks like.
So his acting can’t help but be amusing.
“No way. Sleep with your older brother.”
“I don’t like my sister’s husband. He told me to sleep on the floor.”
“You think that’ll be different here? You’re still on the floor here. And he’s not your husband—he’s your ex-husband.”
“No. Why do all adults do this? Can’t we just sleep together in the bed?”
The Prince of Asdal might have acted that way because he was the Crown Prince, but now I could see through Jenas’s scheme. He must be coveting the keychain.
I smiled and pulled the keychain from my pocket, dangling it before him.
An excellent strategy for dealing with Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid from Parallel Dimension 5 had just occurred to me.
“This is what you want, isn’t it? Want me to give it to you? In exchange, will you make a deal with me?”
At that, Jenas’s eyes changed.
“I’ve thought about wanting it because it’s cute. But a purpose? I don’t understand what you’re saying, sister.”
Jenas fired off an innocent gaze and played dumb once more.
Hey, I already saw your eyes change.
“So you don’t need this?”
“I’d like it if you gave it to me. I’m bored because I don’t have any toys.”
Jenas was currently in the form of a ten or eleven-year-old boy, so he was past the age of playing with toys.
You’ve got your concept all wrong, you little brat.
An eleven-year-old boy reaches out his hand, prattling on about toys.
Not a chance.
I shook my head and pulled my hand holding the keychain away.
“If you want to make a deal with me, I’ll give it to you.”
“…What kind of deal? Do you really want to make deals with a child like me?”
“You’re a kid who understands what deals mean—don’t call yourself a toy.”
“Adults like toys too. I know everything. You have toys too, sister. I heard it from your husband.”
Jenas successfully landed a blow on me. He must be talking about Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid.
He made an excuse about hearing it from the Prince of Asdal, but he wouldn’t have said such things to this child he was supposedly meeting for the first time.
Jenas already knew who we were, and he was the one who kidnapped us to this Island in the first place.
I quietly observed the hologram system window floating before me, then asked Jenas.
“So. Don’t you want to hear what kind of deal it is?”
“What kind of deal?”
“Lend me your Mana.”
“…What?”
It was an unexpected question, and Jenas’s expression showed surprise. But soon he responded as if he were a clueless child.
“What are you talking about? I don’t have anything like that.”
“No, you do. You just don’t know because you’re young.”
I answered by using the fact that Jenas was acting as a child as leverage. Then Jenas hesitated, his expression turning contemplative.
He was probably deliberating whether to continue his child act or drop it.
But he would continue to play the role of a child. He’d go mad wanting to research what this keychain of mine actually was.
“Actually, I have Magic Sight too? Everyone came here and their Mana disappeared, but not me. My Mana is still intact. I can see that yours is the same.”
“…I didn’t even know I had Mana, but where will you use it?”
“It’s a trade. I’m not asking what you’re going to do with the keychain either, am I?”
Jenas Igran Rohade fell silent, having nothing to say.
Jenas’s Mana had countless uses. After all, Mana was the very condition needed to switch to the 【Combat Assistance Mode】 that the system mentioned.
My Mana alone wasn’t enough, but wasn’t Jenas’s Mana something special?
With just a tiny amount of Mana, I could immediately activate 【Combat Assistance Mode】.
“Fine. How do I transfer my Mana?”
“Inject it into this keychain.”
At my words, Jenas gazed at the keychain with a contemplative expression before placing his hand over it. Curiosity about the keychain had won out after all.
[External Energy Response Detected]
[Target: Jenas Igran Rohade / High-Purity Mana Possessed]
[Synchronization Preparation Complete]
[External Energy Injection Initiated]
[Energy Synchronization in Progress…]
[0.1%]
[2.4%]
[10.2%]
[Synchronization Complete]
Ten percent? Ten percent? This con artist really did inject only a minuscule, infinitesimal amount of Mana.
But the fortunate thing was that the system responded even to such a tiny amount.
[Combat Assistance Mode Activating…]
[Neural Response Speed Increased]
[Visibility Expanded]
[Muscle Response Calibrated]
[Prediction Algorithm Loading…]
[Prediction Algorithm Operational]
[Surrounding Hazards Detected: None]
[User Condition: Stable]
[※※※WARNING※※※]
[External Energy Usage Time Limit 01:00:00]
There was a time limit, but there was nothing I could do about that. Being able to use Combat Mode was something at least.
More than anything, the moment I activated 【Combat Assistance Mode】, the world transformed.
Every sound reached my ears slowly, yet with crystalline clarity.
The texture of the air had shifted. A single speck of dust, a single thread of wind—I could see the ‘intent of movement’ in all of it.
A thin line materialized before my eyes.
Cracks in the wall, the angle of the floor, every point my gaze touched—faint trajectories were drawn across them all.
It felt as though someone was whispering to me, ‘If you move in this direction, you can survive.’
“Wow. This is insane.”
“…Huh? Are you alright, Sister?”
The moment Jenas placed his hand on my arm, I came to my senses only to find myself standing behind Jenas’s back. It felt like I’d become a superhero.
“What? Did I just teleport?”
“No. I didn’t use any Mana. You know that.”
Jenas nodded in agreement with my words, then hesitated. That same look of realization crossed his face again.
Regardless, I marveled at the System’s stat increases. With this, I might actually be able to stand against Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid from Parallel Dimension 5.
Of course, that didn’t mean I intended to fight Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid. But if an attack came my way, I needed to be capable of responding.
That way, it would be easier to raise Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid’s affection toward me from Parallel Dimension 5.
‘Anyway, the System is truly the best.’
It was such a shame that I wouldn’t be able to use this wonderful thing once I returned to the Original Dimension.
I’d have to make full use of it while in the Parallel Dimension.
“Here. Thank you.”
I handed the Keychain to Jenas with an excited expression.
Jenas then accepted the Keychain from me with an uneasy look.
Besides, the Keychain couldn’t be used by anyone but me anyway. After a certain amount of time, it would return to me.
By tomorrow, Jenas would probably be in quite a state.
Before then, I should get some sleep and send a Signal to Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid as well.
