Surviving As The Protagonist

Chapter 43: Feeling Guilty

After hearing a strange question from Samantha, her attention is now turned to a brooch with a shiny ruby gem in a glass case. His eyes seemed to sparkle when he finally found an item that was so fulfilling to his expectations. Even though he had seen all the best gems in his subscription jewelry store, even though he had never found a gem that was this good quality.

To the extent that he thought of such a strange thing, had all of these quality items been stolen by that pseudo-witch? But if Samantha heard his contemptuous heart like this, she would definitely be in the all-out omelette by the white-haired witch.

“Truely too, I forgot the gift for His Majesty.” he said accompanied by a small smile.

Lucy seemed fixated for a moment after noticing the beautiful ruby brooch, it seemed like this thing would fit in Reygan's robe. Moreover, His Majesty's eyes were also as beautiful as this gem.

“Nona can also enter magic into this Ruby, the quality does not need to be doubted~”, he explained that memorable is doing promotion, it is remarkable that the magician has a strange interest.

The salary as a tower magician is extraordinary, so why with all the magic talent he has even secluded himself in a strange place like this? He also even opened a strange business that even looks less crowded visited. The stuff in this place does look quality, Lucy herself is not so know in what way Samantha does to create antiques like this, it's just..

Those nobles were very stupid, not knowing of such an extraordinary place like this. But..

“I don't need magic objects like that. If there is one, I prefer objects with purification magic” reject it with a face that looks lethargic.

He seems less excited, it feels like Lucy's feelings are currently mixed. There were too many truths he would find hard to accept, and he didn't really know what to react to.

“Ruby is still empty Miss, you can fill it with any magic.” Samantha explained accompanied by her small smile, somehow it feels like Lucy's face is now seen displaying a sumringah smile.

“Really?” ask the girl enthusiastically.

If it's like this, it seems to make Lucy's work easier in the future. He seems to be able to give the ruby brooch that has been filled with purification magic so that Reygan is not affected by the enchantment magic that Sheyra gave him. Then, I will not need to channel my purification magic with the touch of a hand anymore if my situation is far away from His Majesty!

“Nona is indeed smart yes, so is Miss interested in this thing?” asked the Witch who somehow made her feel upset. He felt forgotten that the witch could break through to the ins and outs of his heart.

Along with a deep sigh, the girl nodded. “I'll buy it, just send this thing to Cathalia's palace. Then for his billing—” Lucy is seen issuing her identification to withdraw this bill to the Barayev family.

It's just that Samantha doesn't seem to like paying money, “I don't need gems to pay for gems. So does Miss not mind if I ask for payment with anything else?” asked the woman who even made Lucy look at him with a look of wonder.

“Itu— what? You're not interested in money? Uh—it looks like our conversation should be ended soon.” said he who is now moved to look at the doorstep. It seemed that his heart was feeling uneasy if Sir Emillo would come to find his whereabouts.

Samantha seemed to be nodding in understanding, she now felt a sense of turmoil to the worry of the two humans who were running towards this store.

It seemed that the witch understood that Lucy was avoiding something right now.

“Alright, Nona~ book and brooch I sent to the palace Miss ya~ Don't forget to discuss the payment at the next meeting, I assume at this time Miss is in debt to me.” he said accompanied by a flick of a finger.

Just before the witch disappeared by flicking her finger, she said ‘See you, Miss Lucy!’. The response of the girl with the blond mane was simply rolling her eyeballs a sign of vahwa she felt lazy.

In order to look natural, I had to go to a place that couldn't be easy to find. If they had desperately searched for me in the vicinity of this Festival, then their final destination was the hilltop I had told them before.

With a heavy heart, Lucy took out a teleportation magic circle past her slender palm. Actually he really felt guilty for taking advantage of the situation and troublesome both of them for his own sake.

I'm sorry, this is something I have to keep secret alone. So I don't care if you feel annoyed and resentful of me who effectively betrothed you forcibly, I only give a path to you who will indeed pair up in the future.

My real purpose is to leave without your knowledge.

...

He was at the top of a hill opposite the capital city. He felt this place was so quiet and peaceful that he could see the sky of the capital without feeling noisy and jostling. She is now just sitting under the old tree without laziness, at this time Lucy just wearing a thin dress without carrying a coat so that at a glance her body looks shivering coldness.

With a blank look, he hugged his knees as beautiful fireworks shot through the sky of the capital. “Beautiful..” murmured who somehow felt less excited.

He could only feel the silence and was swept away into his own banquet. The rumbling sound of fireworks that erupted, somehow not so heard. The girl was only focused on the statement the witch made to her.

“What makes sense? My soul is the same as Lucy? Don't joke.” delicacies that feel dislike.

He shook his head with all his might, “I can't accept his statement, but I don't think he's telling a lie.” he said, now drowning his head on his knees.

Tight and claustrophobic, he was just wondering. Of the many people who enjoy and read this novel book, why should he enter into this fictional world? What exactly is Rafflesa's relationship with Lucy and what is her purpose? What should he do now?

I even come from the modern world, another world whose origins are very far from ancient civilizations like this. Then.. What should I react if a great wizard like himself says that I have a connection to this world?

Glistening and mute accompanied by the gaze of her eyes that were getting flatter. Under the moonlight and breezy wind that penetrated his body for hours, now his long daydream accompanied by fireworks stopped when he realized there was a woman running towards him with a feeling of worry.

Her lips now displayed a slick smile.

Again, sorry Sir, Flona. I have troubled you to the point of worrying you half to death just because someone is lost as far away as I am.
