Princess In Another World's

Go to the City

"Gee... So this is what the city is, yeah."

"Yes, what do you think."

To be honest, this was beyond my expectations all this time. I thought the city outside the kingdom was amazing. It turns out the same as in the manga or anime, but added a little modren architecture that makes the building here quite good. "It's so beautiful." Even so, since it was my first time seeing the real one I was so amazed. I don't think they can do this.

We attract a lot of attention, though, it was only natural that we rode on horse carriages and according to the book I read horse carriages with luxurious ornaments were usually used by nobles or other great men to walk or just walk around the city. 

When I look out the window. "Mother, is she Iona's daughter?" A boy saw me, and he waved his hand at me. I also waved my hand at him.

"Miss... I think they're stunned to see you."

"Eh... Why?"

"That's because, you're the first time you've been out of the palace. And it's only natural to see you react like that."

"That's it, yeah." That is natural, because I am a princess who is so weak. "Haa... This is so shitty." Here I just sit and look at the people who look at me. "Risa-Oneezama. Where's the place we're going."

"In a moment, we'll be patient soon."

------------

"So this, yeah. Not bad either." The place is quite large compared to the building I saw earlier. But here, something caught my attention. "Risa-Oneesama, can I go there."

"Where? A bookstore? For what, instead of the palace there's already a library."

"No, there's still a book I haven't read. And there may be books that aren't in the royal library.."

"Yes, but be careful, yeah."

"Good." I went to that bookstore.

---------

"Miss, what book are you looking for?" I ignored him and continued to search for the book I was looking for.

-- A few minutes later. ---

"That's it..." I found him in the corner of this room. But...

"Excuse me, I want to buy this book." (boy)

"T-No way." The book I was looking for all this time. 'Book of the world' Because the library contains only books about legends, disputes between kingdoms, and many other things. But in the palace library there were no books about this world. And I was so excited when one of the waiters told me that there was a book I was looking for at the bookstore in town. But at the moment... "Dam... A book that explains the world, and it's also possible that I could find out more about it. But now, the book had already been bought by someone else."

I slowly walked out of the bookstore. "If this body wasn't the body of a girl, I would have slammed the boy. But because of this body, I can't do it."

----------

Scraping a book. "Here, you don't want this."

"It... The book I want." I looked towards the person who stuck out the book, he was the boy who preceded me to pick up the book. "I-It."

"You can have it."

"W-really?"

"Of course, I'm not really interested in reading it anyway."

This kid is weird. "If it's like that, why did you buy it."

"I collected it, then gave it to the orphanage..."

"If you want it, you can take it."

"Really."

"Yes, of course." He smiled at me, and somehow I felt something. 

"Conscious, stay conscious. Right now you are Touji Ari, a man. There's no way I-.." And just as I saw him again. "S-Damn, what's going on?" My face's warming. It's not a reflex from me but, a reflex from the real Iona. "I-It's embarrassing." 

I took the book. "T-Thank you." And go straight away. "Why at a time like this."

Although this is not the first time, somehow I am still not used to this. No, rather not getting used to it. Iona's entire reflexes I could feel, from shame, fear to everything else. When I tried to overcome that as Touji Ari, I felt that way. "It's not funny at all." My face is still hot. "Dam."

------------- 

The women's bathroom.

"Ha... I think I'm okay." My face is no longer warming. "Iona, what happened to you?" Over the past few years, I've only realized that the real Iona is still in this body. But what makes me wonder is why he gave me this body. I couldn't talk to her directly, but when Iona felt something was happening to me, it wasn't funny.

"Do you want to go back to your body, then... Aghh." My head hurts, this indicates that he refused. "Then why are you being like this?" In these circumstances, I don't know what Iona really wants. "That's it. I have to come back soon, Risa's worried." 

This girl, every time I say I want to return her body she always refuses. If he wanted to, I could give him back. And if it's like that, I can go back to where I belong, a world that can make me peaceful.

-----------

"Iona, you're done."

"Yes." Yeah."

"Eh... Iona, your face is red. Are you sick?"

"W-really?" I didn't realize it. "I-I'm fine. Maybe because I'm not used to this new atmosphere. It's like this."

"so. Come on, come back."

"Yes." Yeah." 

----

"Iona, what book did you buy?"

"Ah... Here, this is the book I'm looking for."

"The book you're looking for?"

"Yes, the book that tells about this world."

"Eh... Is there a book like that?"

"Here, I got it."

"Sometimes I can borrow, yeah."

"All right."

Maybe with this book, the mystery of me trapped in the body of this princess will be solved. Although not, there is no harm in trying. Because trying is a gamble for me, Touji Ari. 

My real journey is just about to begin.

See you on the next Chpater....
