"I don't fight him because it's not worth it now, and he's not as weak as you think, I may be strong, but so is he." Of course, it was a lie, it wasn't a lie when I said he was strong, but it was not a lie when I said it wasn't worth it.
On second thought is not a lie either since it is not worth killing him now, he might have some use in the future, I can kidnap him just like he did with Emily and make him do things of my choosing, it's a very cruel thing, but that would work.
"So, you're saying you didn't fight him just because it wasn't worth it?" Eleonor seemed a little suspicious of my answer, but my response was not wrong, not entirely correct, but not incorrect.
I don't think I'm going to see him for a long time, I hope I don't see him anytime soon because I don't think I can handle my desire to kill him when I find him.
I could have destroyed the whole castle, but I explained why I did it because I didn't want to kill people who weren't needed. I could have killed that man easily if I had used another meteor on him, but I preferred to run and hide.
He was hurt enough to don't come after me, so I think it was a good idea to run and hide, I didn't want to do any more damage in the capital and if we fought in the middle of the residential district people's houses would be destroyed if I used all the my imagination to attack it.
Eleonor kept thinking for a moment and then answered me in a very simple way, she just told me, "It's a very simple answer, but I think it's acceptable."
As always, she is a person who accepts things quickly, it was like the first time she asks me why she didn't bring my friend.
"So that's just why you hid your identity and strength? Why were you running from someone?" Clevina, who was saying nothing so far, decided to say something and ask me a question.
Well, it wasn't just because of that, I didn't like to stand out from other people either, and if I kept using powerful magic everywhere, I'd be sure to be chased by someone.
Be it some nobleman wanting my work, or just people wanting to fight me to test his strength.
After rethinking the things I just said, the only thing I could think of right now was, 'I think I'm inside LN or what?'.
I imagined myself in a world of Light novel, a world where nobles would come after me for things like that, and I don't think this world is the same as fantasy story. There are spells and swords, but I don't believe everything is the same.
"Look, I don't like to stand out too much, either." I gave a straight answer and another simple answer, I would not want to talk too long about my life or my reasons for doing so.
I know I wanted to make them feel less afraid of me, but I didn't think it would be so uncomfortable to be answering asking about myself, I imagine myself in a job interview right now.
"Then, that's it." This time Clevina also accepted everything quickly.
After seeing that her two companions accepted my explanations, a huge smile appeared on Cibely's face. After realizing that I was looking at her, she again blushed and turned her face so that I would not look directly into her eyes.

After so much travel time again, it was dark, and again, we would eat wolf meat. Tomorrow is already the penultimate travel day. Finally, I will arrive in another city after so long I will finally be able to continue with my plans.
"Here, your part." I was distracted thinking what to do when I got to town, and Cibely came up with a meat bowl for me, I thought we usually ate meat like that on a skewer, but if they want to put it in a dish, I don't care.
After she delivered me my food, she sat next to me and then we started watching the weather while we ate.
It was very relaxing eating outdoors, and I had never done anything like that since I never had a chance to camp. I had no friends to go with me, and my family never made anything like a camp, not that I remember.
I didn't have time to do it myself either as I worked almost all day, and in my leisure, I watched anime or something, so my life was just that.
I miss those things a little, but now that I'm in a world that I can experience all that, I think my longing will pass over time. I have not left any important people that I care behind, and I do not regret anything I have done in that world. The only thing I can do now and live my happy life here.
After that we went to sleep, it was a quiet dinner without much talk, we just wanted to get to town soon, we traveled a long time and still had to witness a bandit attack, I don't think everyone here is excited for being here.
Tonight the first to be on guard again was Cibely, and who was going to sleep with me was Clevina and Eleonor.
When I told them my reasons for hiding my strength and also said that I wouldn't do them any harm, they both started treating me normally over time, they still seem a little suspicious, but they are coming back to trust me.
'I'm glad.' I don't want to lose friendships for futile reasons, especially friendships, as good as this one.

i wonder if lorane really betrayed lara now that i think about it. i mean that guy works for the queen right? i'm pretty sure lorane would have known that, plus with the queen being lara's grandmother, she had no reason to not talk with him. he also mentioned that it would be bad if lara saw his face so that means the old lara has probably met him at some point, so he's most likely been to the mansion before. actually considering how worried about lara lorane was, it makes more sense that she didn't betray her. as such i hope she eventually shows up again and they clear things up. lara needs all the allies she can get.
Well I already had my imagination on that like she (lorane) may be only talking with him not like she accepted some kind of bribe/money ? to do the job XD, Our MC perhaps misunderstood the situation by only seeing those two speaking with each other not like "Lara/Larissa" had heard them what they were talking about...at least not in the chapter that's written...may be possible in back story lol for the (TWIST) XD!! ?
What I imagine is that all of those answers are a completely mess.
"Look, I don't like to stand out too much, either."
Yeah… about that? Solve your frickin issue first before the Idiot Ball gets passed to you for nothing but melodrama. Oh wait, you can't. Because the author is making you run away from a simple problem. Almost anyone could figure out what to do if they have "Imagination" as their unique ability.
"I don't fight him because it's not worth it now, and he's not as weak as you think, I may be strong, but so is he."
WHAT.
No. No, no, no. You got that all wrong. There is such an arbitrary "limit" to her power (and it doesn't look like it exists either) that her fake answer sounds more fake than the lie.
The progression and dialogue sounds so artificial that it makes immersive readers like myself feel like I'm in an off-white box and being shown slides of the story instead of reading it in a flowing, natural way. That is not good at all.
is this a shitty otome game?
answer one right question and affectionate rise. choose wrong action and it fall.
Thnx for the chapter
