If I were the main character [2]
"Lily, my God."
Yuno took my hand and frowned.
"After all, you are special."
No, I don't want to be very special.
I held my hand and turned away from Yuno, whose eyes sparkled.
Even though Titiana appeared, Yuno did not fall for her. To be precise, he was Interested for a while, but it quickly cooled down.
Because Titiana died after eating Yuno's magical power.
I was so shocked by the ending that I couldn't say anything, as if it were absurd.
"Lily, do you want to continue learning magic?"
After all, I was the only one who was worth observing, and Yuno became even more obsessed with me.
"Yes. I don't have magic anyway, so what kind of magic can I learn?"
Yuno took a magic class as a way to lure me, but it was long since it was proven that I could not have magical powers.
It's nice to have the ability to nullify magic, but it's a shame you can't learn magic.
It looked fun.
"You go and do some work."
"Why, I'm going to follow Lily."
"...Yes, do as you please."
I sighed quietly and headed to the warehouse where Yuno had collected all sorts of things.
After coming back here, I stayed in the imperial palace all the time, but three men complained that I had been in the palace for too long.
So I did a drawing to change my residence, and the magic tower came out.
I thought Yuno might have used magic, but I believe it was a fair draw because magic doesn't work for me.
"What are all these things here?"
"More than that, Lily, how did you know this place?"
I found out about a room full of clutter, or rather, a huge warehouse, when I asked Shish to find a book I had written.
But I can't be honest.
"I found out after walking around layer by layer."
"When did you go around?"
Yuno looked at me with a disbelieving gaze.
I have no choice but to go out a little forcefully.
"Hey, you!"
I grabbed Yuno by the collar.
"Are you spitting on my words? How dare you? Yes?"
And when I shook him back and forth. Yuno's eyes relaxed, and his cheeks flushed.
"No, Lily is right. Lily, do whatever you want."
Yes, solved.
Leaving Yuno quiet, I wandered between the shelves that seemed to be hundreds of things, looking for things that looked interesting.
"Everything here is what you collected?"
"No. Since the creation of the Magic Tower, it was gathered by people who were the owners of the Magic Tower. It's not something you have to collect, but it's something that attracts curiosity, right?"
"Then it's all about magic, right?"
"No, it wasn't. There used to be more than this, but I cleaned it out once I became the owner of the tower. When I looked through it, there was a wide variety of things, from really useless trash to quite useful ones."
"Everything here is what you collected?"
"No. Since the creation of the Mage Tower, it was gathered by people who were the owners of the Mage Tower. It's not something you have to collect, but it's something that attracts curiosity, right?"
"Then it's all about magic, right?"
"Not really. Originally, there were more than this, but after I became the owner of the horse, I got rid of it. At that time. I looked at it, and there was no public view of anything from really useless garbage to quite useful things."
"I see."
If there is something useful, there may be a rare treasure or gem.
I'm going to live in this world anyway, so I don't need to travel to escape, but I started looking for treasure as a habit. Something that looks expensive and easy to sell.
"Wow, Yuno. Look at this. It's a great crown!"
When I point to a gold crown with a brilliant diamond in the middle, Yuno says something.
"Oh, that's the crown worn by the cursed King."
"What... Curse?"
"Yes, if you use it, you will have to be tyrannical until you die, right? Oh, Lily wants to wear it? Lily nullifies magic, so you might be able to nullify curses as well."
When Yuno, whose complexion suddenly brightened, pointed to the crown, the crown floated up.
"Don't use it! I don't use it!"
"Why, I wish Lily would wear that crown and hit me. I like whipping."
"I don't want to do that?"
I pinched Yuno's cheek hard, and his pupils gradually loosened.
"Alas."
Then Yuno looked very happy.
Who made him like something like this?
Yes, me.
Swallowing my tears, I quickly moved away from the crown.
There were many jewels, books, statues, and many unknown things in the warehouse, so it was fun to look around. Some of them were gold buttons, brooches, and jewelry decorations that looked precious, so I put them in the pockets I had prepared.
I wore necklaces and rings directly on my body.
If you keep it like this, you won't lose it at any moment.
"Ugh, it's a bridge. It's so big here."
"I've enlarged the space with magic, and it's much bigger than it seems at first glance."
"You should have told me about that a long time ago."
Then I wouldn't have set a grand goal to look around here today.
"Eh, let's stop today. I'll come back tomorrow to see you."
As I pointed to the doorway to get out, I accidentally knocked over the pile of clutter next to it.
Whirl.
The box at the top of the piled-up luggage was opened, and all kinds of things came out of it.
"Wow, what is this?"
"Blue pearl."
It looks very precious, so let's take care of it first!
While picking up a thick pearl, I found a gold pendant underneath.
"Wow, what's..."
It looked simple, and the necklace, which was my preference, suddenly began to shine.
"Lily!"
Yuno hurriedly took my hand, and we were soon enveloped in pure white light.
***
"Oh no..."
I touched my tingling buttocks and stood up from my hesitant position. Yuno stood there as if he hadn't fallen in the first place.
"What's going on all of a sudden?"
I took Yuno's hand and stood up, and he made my clothes clean by stirring his hand once.
"I think we teleported."
"Teleportation?"
"Yes."
We were at the top of the garden. Looking ahead, there was a village that looked quite busy, and the sea was behind it. There was an ocean...
"Seeing that there is no magic tower, it must not be the capital."
"That's right. Judging from the fact that I felt a considerable amount of magical power, it may not be the capital, and it may not be the empire."
Yuno added that the mana consumed varies depending on the location where you want to teleport.
"Shall we go down for now? If something happens, you can run away."
No matter how strange the place is, there is a male protagonist. Yuno, so what is the difference? It must be the same world as the novel I wrote, anyway.
...It wasn't long before I realized that it was my mistake.
The style of clothes people were wearing was strangely different from the clothes I knew.
Is it a province? Is it a completely rural outskirts?
But I think the town is quite big. Of course, I was only in the capital, so there is no place to compare it with.
“Are you a foreigner?”
Yuno and I stood out and received a lot of people's attention.
Yuno wore a hood on his mage's robe, and I had to buy a hooded cloak with the gold buttons I had brought from the Magic Tower. When I covered my face, I was able to avoid the gaze.
As we headed toward the center of town, a procession of funeral processions was moving. We were swept up in the crowd and joined the procession. We followed the procession to the back hill.
I could have gotten out, but this one was better to get a sense of the atmosphere of the neighborhood without being noticed.
"Salute to General Baba for defending Uratika Vikatika!"
Yes, when I heard the name of the city, it was in the Empire.
"General Baba, who loved our village, was born here in the 48th year of the Imperial Calendar and traveled the sea..."
At the end of the memorial speech, several soldiers stepped forward and blew their horns. And soon the funeral was over.
The year was written on the stele that Yuno pointed to among the scattered people
[In the year 110 of the Empire era, the great and valiant general Baba rests here.]
"We were in the year 123 of the Imperial Calendar."
But what if it's 110 years...
"I guess we've come to the past."
"What?"
Unlike me, who was shocked, Yuno's cheek was flushed.
"The past! After all, Lily is amazing. None of the wizards has gone to the past or the future, but we have come to the past!"
"Well, wait a minute. It may not be in the past. Let's find out more and finalize."
"Hmm, Lily is right. I don't think I'm going to mess around with someone already dead."
We went around the village, and later we caught a few people and asked them what year it was in the Imperial Era. The answer was unanimous in the 110th year of the imperial era.
What should I do? I know how to go to another world, but I don't know how to go from the past to the present!
Yuno looked at me and smiled broadly, as if he didn't know how anxious I felt.
"Now, we're just alone, right?"
"What?"
"Prime minister, Knight Commander, Crown Prince. There's nothing here that gets in our way."
In terms of age, they must have already been born and spent their adolescence.
"They don't know you now."
But as Yuno said, they don't know anything about me, so they won't even think about looking for me.
Even if you look for them, nothing will change.
"I'm glad you did, Lily."
Yuno leaned his forehead against mine. "Hey, when did you grow so tall?"
"Because I can monopolize you."
I froze at the whisper of the loud beauty.
