After Starting a Thread as a Reincarnated in an Unknown Otome Game, I Got Caught in a Battlefield of Beauties - Chapter 49: Fear

Chapter 49: Fear

405: Former Earthling 

I have a question… Can I ask?

406: Anonymous Earthling

What’s up… 

Do you want to talk about it?

407: Anonymous Earthling

Oh wow, It’s rare to see Itchi asking a question.

408: Anonymous Earthling

Go ahead, ask anything you want. 

We’re friends who have faced dangers together, right?

409: Anonymous Earthling

That’s right, Itchi. 

You don’t have to be so hesitant to ask.

410: Anonymous Earthling 

Are you okay, Itchi? 

Is something bothering you?

411: Former Earthling

Actually, I bought a pair of earrings for Leticia from a street vendor in the royal capital. It turns out they were magical artifacts, and I got teleported to a place called the Forbidden Library of the Empire. Since I couldn’t use magic there, I blew up about three floors with a bomb. In the deepest part of the underground, I found the Spirit God of Light bound in chains. 

How did Aria make a contract with the Spirit God of Light?

412: Anonymous Earthling 

…What?

413: Anonymous Earthling

Hold on a second.

414: Anonymous Earthling

Did you say you blew up the Forbidden Library?

415: Anonymous Earthling

Isn’t that place supposed to be a no-teleportation zone?

416: Anonymous Earthling

Guys, that’s not the point right now!

Itchi bought a present for Leticia! 

For the girl he shared a special moment with!

417: Anonymous Earthling

Ah! 

I almost got distracted by the shocking news about blowing up the Forbidden Library and forgot the main point…

418: Former Earthling

…What’s going on? 

The atmosphere feels a bit weird…

419: Anonymous Earthling

It’s nothing, really.

420: Anonymous Earthling

Yeah, nothing at all.

421: Anonymous Earthling 

Nothing, you know?

422: Anonymous Earthling 

Nothing, seriously.

423: Anonymous Earthling 

Nothing, honestly.

424: Anonymous Earthling 

Nothing, I swear.

425: Anonymous Earthling 

It’s nothing, really.

426: Anonymous Earthling 

It’s nothing, trust me.

427: Former Earthling 

G-guys…?

428: Anonymous Earthling 

Hahahahaha! 

Of course, it’s nothing, right?

429: Anonymous Earthling 

Hahahahahahahaha!

430: Anonymous Earthling 

Hahahahahahahahahahaha!

431: Anonymous Earthling 

Hahahahahahahahaha!

432: Anonymous Earthling 

Hahahahahahahaha!

433: Anonymous Earthling 

Hahahahahahaha!

434: Anonymous Earthling 

Hahahahahahahaha!

435: Anonymous Earthling 

Hahahahahahahaha!

“—…”

…Uh, this is too scary.

I felt some real madness in there. 

It’s seriously traumatizing. 

I might never be able to open that thread again.

“…Alright, it’s too scary and troublesome. Let’s just go back.”

“?? Yeah. It’s definitely a hassle, so let’s go back.”

“Hey, wait a minute!! Why are you leaving me behind!?”

I closed the terrifying thread and took a few deep breaths. Deciding it was too much trouble, I turned to leave… when the Spirit God of Light, bound in chains, stopped me.

We turned back and glared at him with half-closed eyes.

Don’t stop us. 

Honestly, I don’t want to stay in this dark place any longer.

“Well, you see? The barrier around this Empire was created by you… and you also taught them that weird brainwashing magic… Honestly, you’ve done nothing but cause trouble.” 

“Yeah, yeah.” 

“Ugh…”

At my words, the Spirit God of Light groaned.

Yes, it was the Spirit God of Light who set up the barrier around this country and taught the Empire’s people brainwashing magic similar to Hecate’s.

I don’t know why he did it, but seeing him chained up like this, the Empire must have had a hard time dealing with him too.

Because, for some reason, the Spirit God can’t attack.

And these chains, according to Hecate, are made of a special magic similar to her own. 

And besides…

“Do you think I’d help the person who brought me to such a ridiculously dangerous place without any explanation?”

“Since you have upset my Contractor, let me tell you this: he can be really persistent and annoying.”

“Hey, are you insulting me? Fine, I can cancel our contract anytime.”

“Please, don’t do that!”

“Then stop saying unnecessary things, idiot!”

Thanks to you, I’m not as scared now.

“That’s good. See, I can be useful, right?” 

“…Yeah, you’re right. Thanks.” 

“…”

Though I found it a bit strange that Hecate suddenly went quiet, my main focus was on getting out of there as soon as possible, so I spoke up.

“I don’t want to help someone like that. But don’t worry, Aria will come to save you soon. So, that’s that.”

“Let’s leave it at that〜〜”

Feeling relieved and still a bit scared from the thread, we decided to head home quickly, give the earrings to Leticia, and go to sleep. 

I was about to cast a spell when—

“—W-Wait, current Proxy!! Do you know Aria!?”

The Spirit God of Light asked us, looking surprised.
