CH 83

I walked with Ursch-kun on the platform of the crowded royal capital station. While walking, I decided to ask questions that I had been curious about for a while, but couldn’t ask.

“Come to think of it, Ursch-kun, why did we do that production for [Hell’s Gate]?”

“Ahh, that. By doing that, I wanted to make the people around us think that the Hell Gate can’t be summoned unless it takes a few people. If the people around us find out that Isabella can summon it alone, there might be a spear in the marriage with me.”

I see, it would certainly be bad to be known as being too out of standard. I didn’t think that much. By mixing in Alice-chan and Geese, you dispersed the people who are attracting attention as summoners. Geese is the son of the commander of the magic division, and Alice-chan was firing bombing magic in that commotion, so it is known to people around her that she has magical power and magic talents. Ursch-kun is famous as a genius alchemist from Schneiver Company who creates magic items, and I’m famous as a non-standard playing tag. If those four people do it, everyone will be convinced even if they summon the Hell Gate.

In addition, even if you try to find out how to summon it, if the opponents are the Duke’s daughter, the Marquis daughter, the chief of the magic division’s son, and the Schneiver Company’s son, and you are a commoner, you can’t force it. It would be difficult to interview all four of us. Unless you are the royal family. The royal family somehow noticed, but there is also a matter of concealment of Chris-sama’s skills, and I’m also the daughter of the former princess and one of the royal family, so they don’t ask me anything.

By the way, I was asked, ‘Why don’t you marry the Lambert family?’ from the queen. But I turned it down. The queen is still a weirdo who is an adventurer, so I realized that we can communicate quite easily, so I talk without hesitation these days. Even though I refused the marriage proposal to the Lambert family, the queen easily pulled me aside and said, ‘That’s what I thought. Just in case, my parents told me to ask you. I certainly put it in my voice. Now I’ve heard your response, so that’s fine.’

By the way, today, I came to see off the ‘someone’ who left for Viscount Sisim, next to the territory of Count Lambert, without telling him. Actually, I shouldn’t go see him off, but I really wanted to, so I asked Ursch-kun to take me out. Just look from a distance and never talk to him. On that condition, my mother also gave me permission secretly.

I watched him get on the train at a distance with Ursch-kun. When I was sad that I might never see him again, Ursch-kun stroked my back. When I could no longer see him, I clung to Ursch-kun’s chest. Ursch-kun put his hand around my back and hugged me tightly until I calmed down.

Take care, Trevor-niisama. Please come back safely and alive. They couldn’t come see you off, but father, mother, and Daimon-niisama also hope you will come back safely.

The last car of the steam locomotive that stopped at the Royal Capital Station.

There, Lucy, the former daughter of Toland, was detained and put on board. The destination is Viscount Sisim Station, from there to the territory of Count Lambert. It has been confirmed that the largest dungeon in the Kingdom of Rosereal, ‘Zervandam’ was up to 45 layers three years ago. For the next three years, they couldn’t reach the 46th floor, and the search for the dungeon was stagnant. She is accused as being charged as a related person in this incident, and she is not allowed to go out to the ground for five years from the 45th floor at the forefront of the dungeon, and is sent out as a force to the unreached layers. Her survival rate in the dungeon is highly estimated to be 25% in a year and 7% in the second year.

Originally Lucy would be executed, but as a result of the interrogation using the special skill [Death Magic], which is said to be born by royalty, she is only involved in Geese’s kidnapping and murder plan and Isabella’s kidnapping and murder plan. It was proven, both of which ended in attempts, and the sentence was reduced because the victims Isabella and Geese and their relatives did not sue. After being reduced, she will be free if she can survive in the dungeon for 5 years. Ever though the sentence was reduced, going to the 45th floor of the dungeon is the same as the de facto death penalty. The probability of living safely and coming back in 5 years was hopeless.

A long-haired man holding a hat in one hand came into the train car where Lucy was restrained, sat on the floor and waited for the train to leave. After confirming the identity of the man, Lucy opened her eyes wide in surprise.

“No way. . . Trevor? No, why? Why are you here?”

The man with long hair and a hat in one hand called Trevor threw a wink at Lucy.

“There’s no way you can leave your precious fiancé alone, right? I thought you’d take me with you, okay? I can only assist and support, but I’m a convenient man who is good with my hands and can make various things on the spot.”

“What are you talking about? I was disowned by the Toland family. The engagement was long canceled. And you’re the eldest son of the duke, there’s no way you can dive into a dungeon with me.”

Trevor shook his head at the words and kneeled in front of her on the floor.

“I don’t remember breaking off my engagement. Besides, I asked my parents to disinherit me, and I disowned just like you. Hey Lucy. Five years later, when I finish my role safely, I want to have a ceremony with you at a small cute church. I wasn’t given the position of head of the family you wanted, but I’m confident that I’ll give you a lot of love. So, will you marry me?”

“. . . . . . You’re really stupid. . . . Really, you’re a helpless idiot.”

Lucy nodded many times in tears and rubbed her forehead against Trevor’s chest. Trevor hugged her tightly as she kept muttering ‘stupid’ while crying for a long time.

I calmed down in the noise of the platform, so I got out of Ursch-kun’s arms.

“Well, let’s get out of the station soon. There are rare things such as imported goods around the station, if you don’t mind, would you like to take a look around and go home?”

“Of course!! I’d be happy to!!”

My depressed heart disappeared on my south district date with Ursch-kun. It is no exaggeration to say that my happiness is in the days I spend with Ursch-kun.

When I was walking on the platform in such an uplifting mood, an old man I didn’t know spoke to Ursch-kun. Apparently, he’s a business partner of Schneiver & Co.

“Isabella, it seems that what I asked for is causing some misunderstanding. I’ll finish talking right away, so can you wait a moment on that bench over there?”

“That’s fine. We still have a lot of time, so you don’t have to panic.”

Saying that, I sat on the bench away from Ursch-kun. When I was looking at Ursch-kun, who was talking to the old man for a while, a girl called out to me as if surprised from the side.

“Eh?! Could it be Isabella? Is it Isabella?”

When I looked at that voice, a cute pure girl with smooth pink hair to her chest was standing in a pose stretching out her hand toward me.

“Well. . . . . Yes, that’s right.”

Who is this girl? When I looked at her with her head tilted down, this time she was looking at her hands as if she was surprised. What the hell is that? This child.

“Oh no, it’s not the entrance ceremony of the magic academy. . . It’s the first time I’ve been able to remember so quickly when I was a child.”

When I looked at her suspiciously when she started complaining by herself, she suddenly looked up vigorously and approached me.

“That’s right!! Isabella, how old are you now?”

“Well, I’m six years old. . . So, who are you?”

When I answered that, she grabbed my hands and was delighted.

“That’s great!! You’re only 6 years old?! I’m Marieta. It’s Marieta Prea!!”

Marieta. . . I heard it somewhere, who was it? Marieta, Marieta, Marieta-san. . . Ah!! She’s the heroine of ‘Love Magical’!!

Hmm? But why do you know me, Isabella, who you haven’t met yet? Come to think of it, you were whispering strange things earlier, like, ‘It’s not the entrance ceremony of the Magic Academy’ or ‘My memory comes back’.

No way?! Is she the same reincarnation as me? I don’t know even if I think about it, so let’s get straight to the point!!

“Ah, um. Does Marieta have any memories of her previous life?”

Then, Marieta tilted her head with a sharp expression.

“Zense?”

“Let’s see. It’s a previous life!! I want to ask if you have any memories in the life you were born in before this one!!”

Then Marieta brightened her expression.

“You too? Do you remember the last time? Did you come back repeatedly? I’m so happy!! I had given up, but you came to fulfill your promise!!”

Hmm? Hmm? I feel like the story is not right, but I have no idea what’s wrong. Meanwhile, Marieta kept having fun in front of me.

“You’re the only one that came to help me in a repetition that doesn’t end alone.”

Saying that, she burst into tears with joy and laughter. I didn’t say to Marieta, ‘You’re probably misunderstanding something,’ and kept looking at her silently.

“Come to think of it, the situation is completely different from before!! My aunt came back safely before entering the school, and I’m still going to leave the royal capital by train. Isabella, you are changing the future.”

Meanwhile, two women with pink hair called Marieta from a distance.

“Ah, yeah. The train is leaving now. I have to go now.”

Saying that, I chased Marieta, who was heading to the train in front of me.

I have to clear up the misunderstanding!! I’m not sure what the misunderstanding is, but if I don’t clear up the misunderstanding right now, I feel like the story will be complicated at a later date!!

I talked to her while walking next to her.

“Well, Marieta. I’m sure you misunderstood. The memory of my previous life is the memory of living the life of another race in a different world from here. So, a promise to you? I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

Hearing that, she looked surprised and sad without stopping.

“Is it? Are you different from me?”

“I’m sorry. It looks different.”

As it is, Marieta sadly got on the train with women who seemed to be her mother and aunt. I chased after Marieta, who was moving to the seat of the train, while looking at each other through the window. Finally, Marieta, who sat in the window seat, opened the window and called out to me.

“If you haven’t repeated it, you don’t know. When you turn 7 years old, be careful of older girls with orange hair. You will be robbed of your life by them.”

“What does that mean?”

“You may not believe what I’m saying, but just remember that. I. . . I’ve redone this world dozens of times. The world has been destroyed many times, died, and has returned to the day of entering the Magic Academy at 15 years old.”

Does that mean it’s looping? I’ll face her seriously. I think it’s better to listen to her properly.

“Why does the world perish?”

“I don’t know that no matter how many times I repeat it. I ran away without confronting several times, so I wasted my repeated life, and the reason for destroying it was the same sometimes and different others. But I was able to grasp the fact that one great sage was involved in my last life.”

A great sage related to the destruction of the world. I don’t know. Such a dangerous character didn’t come out in the game even in a conversation.

“Hey, Isabella. Please, please believe me. You, who say you have Zense’s memory, are different from any of you I’ve ever met over and over again. You are the only hope I have right now.”

Saying that, she began to spill beautiful tears from her big eyes. At that time, the whistle echoed and the train began to move slowly. While walking according to the movement of the train, I looked up firmly at Marieta’s beautiful pale green eyes.

“I got it. Marieta, I believe you. And I won’t let the great sage destroy the world. I promised my precious fiancé to travel around the world together when I get married. I will cooperate with you for what I want.”

I run side by side as the movement of the train that gets faster little by little. Marieta leaned out of the window, looked down at me, and nodded in tears.

“Thank you. Thank you, Isabella for the first time. Please help the world together!!”

Next to the speeding train, I ran and yelled while avoiding the people lined up to see others off.

“Yes!! I promise!! It’s not a promise with the previous me, it’s a new promise with the me now!! Leave it to me, Marieta!!”

When I came to a stop at the edge of the platform, Marieta also yelled from the train window.

“Isabella!! Please rescue me from this never-ending world!!”

[Repeater]

I remembered Ursch-kun’s words.

“That man interfered with her previous life aiming at Isabella, so it’s still good that there’s a game where Isabella’s information comes out because of that, isn’t it? But why is Marieta-san the leading role? It doesn’t make sense.”

This may have been the answer to that question.
