3-7 Past, Failure and Withered Labyrinth

Satou's here There are edies where the hero doesn't come to save the day

In fantasy world, I would have liked if it's a happily ever after end

◇

"I failed to e from my previous life"

"Even if I'm like this, I was a princess you know" said Arisa ironically

"In the beginning it orking well, but then it began to be failing unnaturally and the kingdoed into civil war, and occupied by the neighboring kingdoricultural refor fertilizers fro tools, some basic administration cheats"

I've never heard 'Adether from the administrative and reform parts

"Even if you fail, could that even ruin the whole kingdom?"

"That's why I said 『Unnatural』 The mountain where we collected leaves for fertilizer died off A massive insect , planted clovers and turnip which should had restored the land, withered it instead"

Indeed, those were some fantasy-like phenomenons, but if we add 『Unnatural』 to this, that , was it?"

"Yes, but I only knew long after the fact At that tiht it was because of the difference between the earth and this world, I was really depressed I even got called [Witch of the Lost Kingdom], or [Mad Princess]"

So those titles were because of this

It wasn't because she usedto create a hare huh

"Still, if the intention was to occupy your kingdoain any profit, there was no doet their priority backward?"

"They didn't care at all for territories of a poor country They probably just wanted the [Withered Labyrinth] below the castle"

◇

"After our country was occupied, theyand the crown prince for the sake of cal out of her frustrated face

"Then the reathered, and they said this"

『This country was destroyed because of your foolishness You people are not qualified to be royal faeass) on the princes and princesses, starting fro ly received that geass and becae using under-bed as a cover, and wipe her tears

"Why was it had to beco the 『Withered Labyrinth』 I told you earlier We couldn't escape if we becaeass and not contract, only a country is able to cancel that"

She grasps the handkerchief along with both of my hands, and continues

"Every month, when it was full moon, they sacrificed one person in a suspicious ceremony inside the labyrinth's interior"

"One year later, the labyrinth was resurrected When the ceremonies were over, only itimate child remained Our confinement was moved from tower to the royal villa near it I don't knohy they didn't dispose of us right away But ere probably spares if the labyrinth ever to wither again"

Her grips are loosing its strength

"And then, another tragedy struck when the next full moon happened A de it were destroyed The royal villa where ere, was burned down too, I and Lulu ran took refuge to the o out by Order, but when the castle was destroyed, their master seemed to have died in it, thanks to that they were able to escape froht that we have no choice but to be burnt to dead but Lulu's indication became 『Master: None』, thanks to that If I was alone, then I'd have died just like that"

Arisa puts my ar a bit in my arms, I let her off

"Then we just wandered around in the ot picked up by the wandering slave trader, Nidoren-shi Since slaves who don't have master can't enter into towns So I wouldn't be sold to some perverted nobles, I used Hide Skill to hide my skills and Lulu also pretended to have loss of speeches"

She lean her small head to my arm, her expression isn't visible

"Wouldn't it better if you used hters?"

"That's right I was too desperate to hide my skills, when I realized that, I was already under the Contract to be Nidoren-shi's slave"

"You could just use the ic after that"

"I could have died if I was careless trying to do that and violated the contract"

Hmm? Wait a minute

I ic to push me down earlier? Why was the contract not violated?"

She looks up to me and smiles wryly

"Because that's a service froht?"

『I will vigorously attend to ht』

"That's why I use every ounce of ic, to service you!"

She puts her hands on , "So e to hug me, I shoot her doith a chop
