Part 2
(Side Story)
Episode 29
“If you were going to give up so easily, I’m curious why you were so obsessed with asking for a Kiss all this time.”
“That’s… I’m sorry. I was just in a hurry.”
Surprisingly, my honest answer seemed to satisfy him.
Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid shrugged and abandoned the idea of a Kiss.
“Then what method do you think is appropriate, madam?”
“It seems there’s a specific timing for when the Kiss should happen. This Keyring will tell us when. For now, let’s wait.”
For now, Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid also had the immediate objective of escaping this Island.
Even if I resolved my problem, being stranded on a Deserted Island remained unchanged.
“I hope that timing doesn’t come too late. My feelings could change.”
Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid warned me in a quiet voice. I answered with a shrug instead.
‘It feels like there was another way to raise his Affection.’
I was a bit discouraged that I’d only managed to raise it to 39.5 percent, so I racked my brain. Then a conversation I’d had with Kaiden came to mind.
“If Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid has a Soul Fragment embedded in him, he’s definitely experiencing some side effects. If you resolve that, it might be easier to extract the Soul Fragment.”
“What kind of side effects?”
“I don’t know. You’ll have to go see for yourself.”
Right. Side effects.
And this parallel dimension’s Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid definitely had side effects too.
“Because of your cruel pranks, this man still can’t eat anything properly except Mana. And you dare call yourself his wife? Do you have no Conscience?”
That was it.
I also recalled the memory of Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid, who had gone hungry for days on this Island, eating the Cooking I’d made with relish.
“We’re hungry anyway, so let’s eat first.”
I immediately got up and opened the ice box and the ingredients box. Then I took out Mushrooms, potatoes, garlic, and other ingredients I’d dug up near the Cabin.
I boiled the potatoes right after obtaining them. I’d boiled just five and put them in the ice box, planning to eat them today, so this worked out well.
“Could you tidy up the teacups?”
I wondered if I should be asking the Crown Prince to do such a thing, but I’d asked even more of my husband, the Emperor.
Perhaps because he’d been raised by the Witch Margaret Rose Flone, he quickly cleared away the teacups and received the ingredients I took out, arranging them on the table.
Oh, it was quite amusing to see him still dressed in his impeccable formal Uniform even in this Jungle, organizing the ingredients.
Come to think of it, my husband Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid had also grilled Fish while wearing his Crown Prince Uniform.
I took out the cutting board and began Butchering the herbs first.
Then I washed the Butchered herbs in water, placed them in a cup, and crushed them finely with a spoon.
Next, I pressed the flat side of the knife to crush the garlic, minced it finely, mixed it with the herbs, and seasoned it with salt.
Finally, I minced the Mushrooms finely and mixed them into the herb and garlic paste. Preparation complete.
I placed the potatoes on the cutting board in earnest. Then I pressed and mashed them with a spoon.
I placed the mashed potatoes on a Cloth and pressed them flat with my palm. This way, I made a total of four thin potato cakes.
Gulp.
I heard the sound of someone swallowing and looked up.
It was definitely coming from Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid.
Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid stood with his arms crossed, watching me work without the slightest movement.
His dignified bearing was so solemn that one could never imagine him swallowing hard.
Gurgle, gurgle, gurgle—
And once again, the sound of his stomach echoed through the space.
When I stared at him quietly, he finally lifted his head and met my gaze.
“Why are you looking at me like that?”
Looking at his face alone, one would never imagine that embarrassing sound came from him.
“Your stomach is making quite a racket.”
“I know nothing of this stomach.”
He was even cracking old jokes.
It was while we were exchanging such frivolous banter.
Knock, knock, knock.
Someone suddenly knocked on the Camping Trailer Door.
We stopped our conversation and stared toward the firmly closed door.
Knock, knock, knock.
The mysterious visitor continued knocking persistently.
“System. Who is it?”
At my question, a holographic window materialized.
[Verifying identity…]
But the person outside spoke faster than the system could confirm their identity.
“Is anyone in there? Please… please help me… *cough!*”
The voice was familiar.
“That’s the Archbishop’s voice. Could it be…?”
Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid hadn’t encountered Archbishop Luzef on this Island yet, it seemed.
We’d already met the Crown Prince, the neighboring kingdom’s Prince, the Great Mage, and the Saint—so encountering the Archbishop here was hardly surprising.
He realized this fact as well, his expression growing grave as he looked at me.
“It is a voice I recognize.”
“Is it the Archbishop?”
I already knew the voice, but I asked out of courtesy. He nodded in response.
Since Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid was sitting closer to the Door, he opened it—though he did so while drawing his Sword and assuming a defensive stance.
And there, standing before the door, was indeed Archbishop Luzef.
Yes. I’d been wondering why he hadn’t appeared yet.
His face was deathly pale. His sky-blue hair was soaked through, and his slender frame trembled visibly.
“Are you alright?”
Even as I asked, I examined him carefully.
Was there anything unusual? If he’d been attacked by an Unknown Creature and suffered an Infection, that would be catastrophic.
“I’m so cold. I’m relieved to find people…”
Archbishop Luzef, trembling as he stood, recognized our faces and his expression shifted to one of shock.
“Your Highness Crown Prince? Margaret Rose Flone?”
Archbishop Luzef acknowledged us. Both of us were well-known figures, so it would have been strange if he didn’t recognize us.
Kyaaaaaahhh—
Archbishop Luzef, startled by the faint Beast cry echoing from far away, began stamping his feet as he spoke to us.
“Please, might you allow me inside?”
Archbishop Luzef spoke with a deathly pale face. I couldn’t understand why he looked so pitiful in both my world and this one.
I glanced at Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid. He regarded Archbishop Luzef with a troubled expression, and then—
Kyaaahhh!
When the shriek sounded even closer than before, I had no choice but to let him inside and shut the Door.
With Archbishop Luzef inside, the space became considerably cramped.
Archbishop Luzef examined the interior, his mouth falling open.
“What in the world is this place?”
“More importantly, Archbishop—how did you end up in this Cave?”
I retrieved a dry Cloth and handed it to him.
Archbishop Luzef accepted the dry Cloth from me with a bewildered expression and wiped his wet hair.
“I’m not certain. A Landslide suddenly occurred, and the ground beneath me collapsed. When I regained consciousness, I was here.”
He suddenly lowered his voice to a whisper.
“There’s something strange about this place. They weren’t human. I’ve been continuously hunted by them. I nearly died.”
If something strange—could it be the same thing Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid and I saw earlier? Or perhaps a different organism.
The System window had clearly stated there were 2 unidentified life forms besides Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid and me.
….
…Wait.
Hold on.
The System window had said that everyone except Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid and me was not human.
Then the hologram window came to mind.
[Biometric Analysis Complete]
[⚠ System Warning]
[Identification Result: Human Signal Not Detected]
[Confirmed Human Individuals: User ‘Margaret Rose Flone’, Companion ‘Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid’]
[Other Responses: 1 organism. Species Unknown. Form Unidentifiable. May Not Be Human]
I had asked who was outside the Door earlier, and now it seemed the analysis was finally complete.
I swallowed hard.
‘Human Signal Not Detected’
‘Species Unknown’
‘May Not Be Human’
In other words, the Archbishop Luzef standing before me was not human.
An Unknown Creature wearing Archbishop Luzef’s mask.
