The villas around the capital, which only the royal family could use, were characterized by simple buildings, unlike the tall and splendid imperial palaces.
The atmosphere was clearly different between Milan and Beluga.
The low buildings and elegant atmosphere were oriental, although the architectural style was completely different.
“There is a hot spring here.”
“Really?”
"Yes."
A hot spring! Let's soak and relax, I thought, but an ominous feeling crossed my mind.
“Surely not a mixed bathing place or something like that... right?”
I almost mistakenly called it a setting.
The senior's roots were here, and he was sincere in this world.
The only difference was that Shish reacted sensitively while the senior pretended to be indifferent, but both of them were quite concerned about the book's deception.
You can tell by the fact that the senior insisted on checking the ending of the novel, even though he had freed himself from the shackles that were oppressing him.
"That's right."
I thought I had misheard when I saw my senior's bright smile.
“You’re not asking me to come in with you, are you?”
“Can’t it be done?”
This senior?
When I opened my eyes, my senior shrugged.
“I was joking.”
“Be on time and come in. Yes?”
“I won’t go in, so you can enjoy it by yourself, junior.”
Then I won't decline.
After the maids packed up my luggage, I headed straight to the hot springs.
"Ah..."
The hot spring, with its stone edging and rare flowers planted around it, was quite impressive and elicited admiration.
I carefully dipped my toes into the hot spring water.
"Good night."
My body, which had been very stiff, slowly relaxed, and I became tired.
Leaning against the wall and tilting my head back, I see the sky turning red.
“Red...”
Even though the senior had his own smokescreen operation, does Shish really not know?
Well, looking at it, my senior is no pushover either.
Even if he can't beat Shish's head, it doesn't seem like he's being completely defeated like before.
In the past, I unconditionally trusted Shish, but now I know that he is the mastermind, so I think I am wary.
“It’s really good.”
Just soaking in the hot spring water for a while made my skin smooth.
But unlike the luxurious scenery, the situation and my feelings were a mess.
Slowly, I recalled the contents of the book I had left in the drawer.
A book written by someone 'outside the book'.
The ending of the person left 'in the book' didn't look very good either.
The author of the book my senior gave me was obviously not someone who entered the book without knowing [Let's Live Together].
To my horror, there were other people in the book besides me, and [Let's Live Together] wasn't the only book that was a world itself.
Chambang, chambang.

Chambang, chambang.
I struck the surface with my finger, and water splashed out. The droplets became water again.
As if it never existed.
A book born from someone's fingertips, with an ending, possesses a compelling force that seeks to maintain its original story. Like a wheel rolling downhill, a story cannot be stopped.
The being from another world caught in between is a foreign substance.
They just pop up and disappear like water drops absorbed into a giant puddle.
“Didn’t that person say that he suffered from all kinds of accidents?”
You became a being neither here nor there, caught up in every accident, and felt your life threatened. Why did you enter the book at the exact moment when the villain was supposed to appear and become a worthless villain?
It wasn't a mistake that I ended up in the position of the female protagonist, having appeared at the exact moment when the female protagonist was supposed to appear.
“Phew.”
So if I'm not there, the heroine will appear.
First, I need to go to the magic tower.
Since I can't extract Yuno's spirit on my own, I'll have to bring Shish with me. I have to extract him, even if it means getting him to reveal the "Life of Ritri Extra."
Burn that book and go back!
I was curious.
Will the unfortunate male protagonists find salvation?
I wanted to see it clearly with my own two eyes.
But the more I stay here, the more I feel like I'm the one standing in the way of the unfortunate male protagonists' salvation.
I shouldn't be there.
“You have to be happy...”
I closed my eyes.
I was busy planning an escape in my head.
In the sudden influx of information, I missed one thing.
I know Shish will be curious about how I returned to my original world.
After getting dressed, I was led to the reception room. Unlike the white and gold of the Imperial Palace, this one was decorated in pastel tones.
“Did you rest well?”
“Yes, thanks.”
The senior sitting on the leather sofa in the living room offered me a seat.
Soon, a refreshing-looking drink was ready, and I greeted it with joy.
“Have you had a hard time lately?”
The senior apologized with a serious face, saying he was sorry for not being able to pay more attention, but soon smiled brightly.
“The Marquis keeps asking me to let you go, and I’m having a hard time refusing.”
“You weren’t talking about gossip or anything like that, were you?”
"That's right."
The senior looked happy.
Could it be that you are trying to make me the Crown Princess by making it so that I cannot do anything by getting rumors out?
“Why do you want to go to the Marquis’ residence?”
"No."
Sadly, there was something more important to me than rumors.
“He’s asking me to do too much.”
You don't want to come all this way and do some embroidery or anything?
The senior who heard the reason laughed out loud and brought up a new topic.
“There’s a festival held nearby around this time.”
“A festival?”
“Yeah. Junior, have you ever been to a festival here?”
I shook my head from side to side quickly.
“It’s quite interesting. There’s a festival in the capital too... Well, I used to sneak off to the festival sometimes.”
The senior smiled brightly as if he had remembered something.
“The festival here has a different atmosphere from the capital, but I’m sure my juniors will enjoy it.”
“I’m looking forward to it.”
“Since we start tomorrow, let’s get some rest today and have fun tomorrow.”
Tiyongtiyongtiyongtiyong!
Watching a festival is such a normal thing, so why is the red alert going off?
Before I could even figure out what was going on, we had to head to the restaurant and forgot all about the alarm while we were eating dinner.
***
“Senior, I think we...”
I smiled bitterly and grabbed my senior's arm.
“...I think I got it wrong?”
"I know."
The expression on the senior's face as he answered didn't look very good either.
The men with rough faces surrounding us took a step closer, smiling sinisterly.
It all started about 10 minutes ago when I was browsing street vendors, and a kid ran off with a pin I had purchased.
Of course, we ran to catch that guy, but as we passed through a few back alleys, a few rough-looking men were waiting for us.
It seemed like a dangerous situation, so I tried to retreat quickly, but the retreat route was already blocked.
“I’m sorry, but please let us go back.”
I asked with a smile, but they didn't even blink an eye.
Why don't you like me?
If you were a man, yoy would obviously have some kind of attraction to me, mostly sexual desire, but these guys look at me and act completely unfazed?
“If I sell both, I could make a pretty good profit.”
Well... this is safe in a way, but I feel like I'll get caught without a fight?
“Senior, you are the Crown Prince, so don’t you have any magical items for self-defense?”
"Yes."
The senior seemed nervous, but smiled brightly.
“I think my ability to perceive danger has diminished because I’ve lived in a safe neighborhood for so long.”
I guess a safe neighborhood is referring to our neighborhood.
Well, the place I lived was pretty safe.
“Are there any secret knights or escorts following you around? No?”
“Yeah. Unfortunately.”
The senior answered and drew the sword hanging from his waist. The sharp, gleaming blade was quite intimidating, but his opponent also had a weapon.
This is clearly the heroine's position... No, next time I should ask Yuno for something and carry it around with me.
Up until now, no matter what crisis I've faced, I've never been so nervous, perhaps because my body has always been strong.
“Run when I give the signal.”
"Yes?"
“Run away.”
Until my senior whispered this.
Is this real?
Could it be that the alarm that went off yesterday was because of this? Wow, the alarm can predict things... No way!
My senior fought quite well, but he wasn't a sword master. He wasn't even a knight with any signs of becoming one.
So it is vulnerable to multiple attacks.
"Oh my god."
My senior started to get frustrated. He told me to run, but I don't know my way around here. I'm a pretty good runner, but I'm not sure I'm any better than those guys.
If I run away clumsily, I'll be caught right away.
They seem to be trying to sell my senior and me out, so they won't kill me right away. Especially since I can't really put up much of a fight, they'll just drag me away.
Look, a thug is coming towards me.
The senior tried to stop it, but it wasn't enough.
“Phew...”
Since I came back here, I carry my jewelry with me anytime, anywhere.
I quietly took out the jewel from my bosom from inside my cloak.
“He who picks it up owns it!”
Whoa!
I threw the jewel as high as I could.
Then, the thugs closed their eyes in the light of the afternoon sun, and I took advantage of the gap to grab my senior's wrist.
“Let's go!”
I ran into the nearest alley.
“Catch them!”
The men who came to their senses late began to follow us.
“Eee...!"
Even though just running was exhausting, I screamed with all my might.
Anyway, those who appear to be kidnappers are chasing after me. What could possibly get worse?
Please, at least show up as an apostle of justice!
Who heard the voice of my heart?
“Capture those who dare to attack the royal family!”
A woman's voice rang out, and knights in white uniforms came out, past my senior, and ran towards the men following us. They were the Knights of the Imperial Palace.
I lived.
I stopped running and sighed in relief when I heard a clear voice.
“Brother, what are you doing here?”
The person who appeared in front of us, blocking our path, was a woman with long silver hair.
