Part 2
(Side Story)
Episode 35
They caught sight of me standing beside Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid and their faces registered shock instantly. Such reactions had become all too familiar.
‘Before that, Prince of Asdal explained what the relationship was like between Archbishop Luzef and Margaret Rose Flone, and between Diego Bastian Vilterheim and Margaret Rose Flone. What did he say again?’
I racked my mind, recalling the past events he had shared with me.
“You couldn’t possibly have a good relationship with Archbishop Luzef either, could you? After all, it was you who trampled his family beneath your feet and toyed with them.”
“I heard you were betrothed to Sir Diego Bastian Vilterheim in your childhood. I’m not entirely certain what happened between you, but I understand Sir Diego Bastian Vilterheim despises you.”
Ah. Both were formidable adversaries with complicated histories. Damn it all. A family enemy and a former fiancée who harbored hatred.
“Your Highness! This is dangerous!”
“You must distance yourself from that woman at once!”
Archbishop Luzef and Diego Bastian Vilterheim’s expressions turned menacing as they rushed toward me.
But Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid blocked their advance toward me.
He pushed me behind his back and retreated. Archbishop Luzef and Diego Bastian Vilterheim’s faces filled with astonishment as they stared at him.
“The most dangerous presence in this place is not Margaret Rose Flone, but rather the two of you.”
Archbishop Luzef and Diego Bastian Vilterheim recoiled in shock at Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid’s words.
“How can you be certain that the two of you are even human?”
“What? No, that’s….”
“Archbishop. He’s right. You saw ‘that thing’ earlier, didn’t you? We cannot be certain whether those individuals are truly human either.”
Diego Bastian Vilterheim spoke toward Archbishop Luzef. He seemed to be referring to the duplicate Archbishop Luzef that Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid and I had witnessed.
“System. Verify whether these people are actually human.”
At my command, a blue holographic display materialized and the system window began its analysis.
Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid said nothing, as though accustomed to my habit of speaking to myself.
Archbishop Luzef and Diego Bastian Vilterheim stood at a distance, regarding me with the gaze one might cast upon a sick person.
[Biometric Analysis in Progress…]
[Analysis Complete]
[Biometric Targets Detected: 4 Organisms]
[Confirmed Human Organisms: User ‘Margaret Rose Flone’, Companion ‘Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid’, New Companion ‘Archbishop Luzef Cain Dipherthe’, New Companion ‘Diego Bastian Vilterheim’]
[Other Reactions: None]
“They’re human.”
Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid nodded. I sensed that he now trusted my words.
It was likely because his affection had reached ninety percent. Though seventy percent of that consisted of obsession, admittedly.
[Communication Protocol Activating…]
And suddenly, a communication connection began activating. It was a communication function linking to the Original Dimension.
[Communication Confirmed from Original Dimension]
[Connect?
Yes/No]
“Yes! Yes!”
I cried out with joy after such a long time, and the three men who had been conversing moments before turned to regard me with bewildered expressions.
Regardless, I quickly examined the communication data.
[Rosemary: Finally connected! Sister! Sister! Are you alright?]
[Innis: Margaret, are you okay?]
[Archbishop Luzef: This is grave. The Lord has vanished.]
[Yuanna: There was only a note saying she went to find Meg, and the Magic Tower was completely empty.]
[Prince of Asdal: It is grave, yet not entirely grave. Surely she is a transcendent who has surpassed human limitations. Do not worry yourselves.]
[Archbishop Luzef: But that thing over there—do you perhaps see it?]
[Diego: I see it as well.]
[Innis: Margaret, you’re safe, aren’t you?]
[Prince of Asdal: From what I can see, she appears perfectly fine. How fortunate.]
[※

As expected, only text data came through. More than anything, I was shocked to hear news from the Original Dimension after so long being connected.
Kaiden disappearing was surprising enough, but he came looking for me?
“Is that person perhaps mentally unwell?”
Archbishop Luzef swept his gaze over me from head to toe with an expression of fear. It seemed to be because I kept staring into empty space while speaking, my expression shifting moment by moment.
“It is not a matter of concern.”
Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid answered on my behalf. Then he glanced back at me and released a sigh.
“Why Your Highness travels with such a dangerous and cunning witch….”
“Why would one escort an escaped convict? To place her on the gallows once more, naturally.”
Enoch’s monotone voice was so utterly composed that it felt all the more sincere.
If there had been no system window, and if I truly couldn’t remember that he had kissed me first, I would have believed that was one hundred percent sincere.
I am certain. The Enoch of this parallel dimension is a pervert.
In any case, once Enoch offered such an explanation, Archbishop Luzef and Diego seemed to have no great objection to moving alongside me.
But wait. Moving together?
“Enoch, the two of us should move. It’s already difficult enough just keeping ourselves alive.”
After saying that, I leaned close and whispered quietly into his ear.
“And I prefer it when it’s just the two of us.”
Then the system window appeared.
[Target: Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid]
[Favorability toward User: ▲93.8%]
[Detailed Emotional Composition Analysis:
Affection 15.3%
Loyalty·Protective Instinct 6.5%
Obsession 73%]
The rise in obsession was a somewhat unfavorable result, but in any case, the whisper seemed to have been effective in this situation.
As Enoch nodded seriously while listening to my words, Archbishop Luzef and Diego approached us with urgent expressions.
“W-we… wouldn’t it be better if we traveled together?”
“This place is dangerous. Monsters and Magical Beasts could emerge at any moment.”
Archbishop Luzef and Diego Bastian Vilterheim took turns trying to persuade Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid. In other words, they were speaking to him, not to me.
I understood they harbored intense hatred and contempt for Margaret Rose Flone, but…
[Archbishop Luzef: The other Archbishop Luzef must have his reasons. Please forgive him. I apologize on his behalf.]
[Diego Bastian Vilterheim: The details remain undisclosed, but I share the Pope’s sentiment.]
[※
Connection Status
is unstable, so only partial text data is being

At that moment, Archbishop Luzef and Diego Bastian Vilterheim from the Original Dimension, who had been observing the situation, apologized.
I barely suppressed a laugh that threatened to burst forth.
I didn’t even want to imagine how bleak things would feel without this communication device.
Being unable to connect with the Original Dimension while trapped in this Cave made me acutely aware of how much my spirits had plummeted.
But there was one silver lining.
Most importantly, when Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid kissed me, the communication happened to be disconnected—I was so grateful for that.
I had even forgotten to activate privacy mode.
“I apologize, but I’m too dangerous a person to travel with you.”
“No. How could we know you’d escape? You’re the only one capable of conspiring with others to kidnap us to this place.”
Archbishop Luzef spoke to me without bothering to hide his contemptuous expression.
In this dimension, I had apparently trampled the Archbishop’s Family beneath my feet. It seemed I had used them like tools. If that were true, such a reaction was entirely justified.
Of course, it was the Margaret Rose Flone of this dimension who had done those things, so I felt somewhat wronged—but what could I do about it?
“The exit isn’t far. We should be able to leave soon.”
At Diego Bastian Vilterheim’s following words, my eyes widened.
“There’s an exit? Nearby? You’re certain?”
“Yes. There definitely is.”
“If there’s an exit, why didn’t you leave through it instead of coming back here?”
“…We encountered a Monster at the exit and were chased back to this place. We were trying to return.”
After hearing that explanation, I verified the truth through the system window.
Fortunately, what he said was true.
If there was a way to escape without rock climbing, wouldn’t that be ideal?
I had no choice but to follow them.
‘For now, there’s no other option anyway.’
I also needed to think about ways to lower his Obsession level and raise his Affection level.
After questioning the system window several times, it seemed that as long as the Affection ratio was higher than the Obsession ratio, it would work.
I asked various questions in case there was something else I hadn’t been told, but this time it really seemed like meeting only this condition would guarantee success.
Winning someone’s heart was this difficult.
