I stayed at home, submitted my withdrawal documents to school, and greeted my friends.
"It's more amazing than what I've heard."
And Shish and I had time to experience the world I was born and raised in together.
"It's so different from what I knew. There's no magic? But you can leave the lights on until late at night."
He was curious regardless of the field, so he bought all kinds of books at the large bookstore where I went with me. It's a bit scary to read physics books even though he just learned Korean.
"Not only transportation, but also architecture is very advanced. I heard that there is no royal family, but it's amazing that representatives are elected in this way."
Sissy sang because he wanted to know everything about me, so I thought he would like it when he came here, but it didn't seem to be the case.
He spent a lot of time with my family, and in the meantime, he only read books all day long, as if he was determined to acquire all the new knowledge.
After about a week, we decided to leave.
The day I left was the weekend, and both my parents and younger brother came out in front of the front door.
"Mom, how are you?"
"Yes, you're doing well too."
Mom unhugged and muttered to herself as she looked at Shish.
"Just looking at your husband's face, you'll be full, so you'll live well."
The urge to ask how he sees the mother and daughter came up to the tip of my throat, but I resisted.
I indeed got a cold face on that face.
"I'll go."
"Be careful, contact me!"
My younger brother, who had worked hard to care for me when I was like a disabled person, greeted me with a strange expression. I'm embarrassed, but I'm pretending not to be embarrassed.
It is unknown whether I will be able to come here again or not.
I, who have lived here for a long time, can pass through the door on my own, and the book I write becomes the key to pass through the door.
But if I marry Shish and become a person there, I may never come back.
That's why I felt even more affectionate. They are precious people I may never see again.
"Get in touch."
My family will think that I will live somewhere on Earth and that we will meet again.
I was sad that I couldn't tell the truth. Even if I did, I wondered what would change.
"I'm going! Everyone should be doing well!"
I couldn't hear my mother's murmur buried in my greeting, soaked in my emotion.

"Ugh, did my daughter save the country in her previous life?"
"What does that mean?"
"The man she brought to be her husband, is he a human? It's an angel."
"...What?"
The middle-aged man laughed out loud.
"I recognized him from the time he stared blankly into the air. Are you sane because you left a man like that?"
The middle-aged woman shook her head to herself, as if she finally understood.
"Did my daughter put all her luck into meeting a handsome man?"
Otherwise, the man who would be her husband would not have been as handsome as if he were not a person in this world.
"If I had been 20 years younger, or if I had such luck..."
"Honey!"
The middle-aged man, who had not heard, cried out with sadness, and the middle-aged woman pretended not to hear anything and headed into the house.
***
"Isn't it a pity?"
In the carriage on the way back. Shish stroked my head and asked.
"A little?"
"If the master wants, you can live there."
My future husband whispered in a gentle and caring voice.
"No. You..."
Shish adapts well to any situation, so I'll get along well in the world in which I was born and raised. With the money you take here, you can live as an unemployed person for the rest of your life.
Not a bad choice.
"You shine wherever you are, but you shine the brightest when you are here."
But when I live in my world, I feel like I choose the way that is comfortable for me. Even though I already know everything about Shish, it's different from what I know in my head.
Since I knew enough about it, I decided to choose to share Shish's life more properly through my experience.
Also, I wondered if this world without a heroine would be properly supported.
I couldn't do without that world, but this world couldn't do without me, so I couldn't let go of everything because it could collapse.
At that time, Titiana already existed somewhere in the empire, so she would have become the heroine without me.
But this time, the heroine is completely gone.
"Shish, we live here. Yes?"
"Yes, you can't just pluck people's eyes out there, right?"
My appearance, which was becoming a character in the book, was striking enough to catch the eye. In fact, Shish and I received several casting offers while going back and forth to our homes.
"Then I'm in trouble. It's easy to get rid of here, but it looked a little different there."
Shish was worried about something completely different from me.
"Of course, you can do it if you want to. Really, why are there so many people who are targeting you, master?"
Shish's hand wrapped around my waist.
"My master is lovely, so I know I can't help it, but I'm angry."
I was smiling, but in my head I held Shish's hand, which seemed to be making a killing department.
"You don't have to worry because I only see you."
What a love that transcends time and space!
Shish, who was slightly reddened, pressed his lips against my cheek. He smiled softly, as if he was feeling good, and then squinted and smiled.
"You know there's a wedding coming soon, right?"
"Huh? Oh, that's right."
Before my wedding to Shish, there was a very important ceremony.
"It's the marriage of the youngest princess and my first brother, right?"
"Yes."
My (future) husband really did it.
Fearing that my senior would not be able to let go of his lingering attachment to me and would be jealous, he made the imperial family and my adopted Marquis Hayley their relatives.
According to the imperial law that double marriage is not allowed, unless my senior changes the law, his marriage to me will be ruined.
If he tries to change the law, Shish will stop him in the middle, so there's actually nothing he can do.
"The Princess is beautiful, and my brother is doing well, so it will be a wonderful wedding."
Sish's eyebrows furrowed in the part where "My brother did well too," but fortunately, he didn't say that he would kill Billau.
Since he is going to marry the Princess, he will treat him generously.
"Really, do you not have to go to your world?"
"Sometimes I go out to play. But I live here. I'm worried about what will happen to this place without me..."
I reached out and gently stroked his red hair.
"I don't think I can forgive myself if you're wrong because of that."
If this world collapses and the character Shish goes wrong, I won't be able to stand it.
As my senior said, my essence is that I am a person outside the book, so I have no problem living outside.
When I got married, Shish became the same as me, but I couldn't bet on him in the uncertainty.
"Thank you, Master."
Shish looked affectionate, but his hands were not at all.
"Really, Shish! It's torture to do this even though you won't go all the way!"
***
Knock knock.
"Master, are you ready?"
When I didn't answer, Shish opened the door and walked in.
"Oh my God, are you writing a book again?"
"Yes, I should write as much as I can when my memory is intact."
I don't have a good memory like you, so I have to write it down before I forget it. 'Memory' can also be the key
Half of the "Chronicles of Retri Extra' I wrote was written when Shish crossed the dimensional gate.
"Shish, from now on, I'll only write one page at a time."
"Yes?"
"I mean to use my keys sparingly."
Now I can keep writing books, but what if my memory starts to fade?
At that time, the book I'wrote wouldn't be the key!
Just in case, when I went out, I bought a lot of things there.
I miss my parents, but every time I go outside, I feel like this place is a 'world'.
"Master."
"Don't tell me, Shish. I'll be here."
As I feared while I was away, an anomaly occurred.
Shish didn't want to tell me anything, but he found out through my senior. During the days I was away, heavy snow fell in the northern part of the empire, and storms hit the east.
Was this the most serious natural disaster in the 200 years since the empire was founded?
Why did such a thing happen at this time? It's probably because I, the heroine, have disappeared.
"You're going to stay here forever, but do you have to keep making keys?"
I looked at the low voice.
I see cloudy red eyes, which are rare these days. If you fall into it, your eyes are Iike a deep quagmire that can never come out.
Shish is afraid. Of what?
"You said it was good to know what kind of environment I was in before? Did you suddenly hate it?"
"I indeed want to know more about my master, but the more I know about you, the more you seem to be a person who is distant from me."
What does this mean?
"I thought there would be few people there who coveted the master, but that wasn't the case."
Shish, that's because I became a beauty when I became a character in a book.
But even if I said this, Shish still seemed to be anxious.
"Yes, I'll stop writing."
I won't be able to go out for a long time anyway, so I don't have to make keys anymore.
When I stood up, Shish, who smiled faintly, kissed me on the cheek.
"Rather than that, I really have to start now."
I put down the quill.
It's the day to clean up the luggage, but I can't be shy!
