Chapter 15

"……You've really lost a lot of weight, haven't you?"

While clearing away the lunch, Chief Attendant Rana looked at me with pity.

……No, no, no?

Yes, I have lost weight, but there's no need to pity me, right?

After all, since I came here, I haven't really consumed much of the enemies of fat people, "sugar" and "fat."

Even if I did, it wasn't that much…

Most of all, I've been exercising to pass the time, so of course I would lose weight.

……Interdimensional diet?

Ahaha……This is my first time experiencing it.

"Don't look at me like that. …Well, think of it as becoming healthier, okay?"

Rana smiled.

She didn't want me to lament over my own situation.

"If you're feeling bad, please say so. We might be able to do something, even if it's a bit presumptuous."

Chief Attendant Rana, you're so serious…

There's probably nothing we can do…

Because…you can't turn back time, right?

Rana swallowed hard and forced a smile.

"Then…let's go with no formal language for now."

She no longer adds "sama" to names, but she still uses formal language.

"…Sho…understood… I'll…do my best…"

"…Pfft…"

Sorry, I couldn't help but laugh.

Because, your effort to do your best was both touching and cute…

"…Ri-na…"

Chief Attendant Rana pouted a little.

"…Sorry?"

Rana put on a playful face.

I hope she can be more casual, even gradually.

Because, formal language feels like a "wall," and I don't like it.

"By the way, the…uh, Eki? Egi?…what was it…Prince?"

It's long and hard to remember…

The stupid prince who summoned me, what happened to him? I'm just curious now.

Prince Schuzel said something about punishment or disciplinary action…

Eh? …He couldn't have been executed, right?

……After all, he's still a prince.

"…He's in the dungeon."

"……Huh?"

"He's in the dungeon somewhere in the palace."

Chief Attendant Rana said this expressionlessly.

"……Wait…not like house arrest?"

"…The dungeon."

……Really?

The dungeon…?

Rana was taken aback.

I was surprised not only by the existence of a dungeon but also by the fact that a prince was in it.

……The older brothers are ruthless…

"……Given the circumstances."

Chief Attendant Rana smiled coldly.

……Huh? Is Rana…angry for me?

"……Um…where is the dungeon?"

Punishment is important, but locking up Prince Egidius and the others won't change anything.

Besides, if something happened to them because of me, it would leave a bad taste in my mouth.

"……I don't know where it is, but Prince Schuzel should know. …Would you like to ask him?"

Chief Attendant Rana asked what I should do.

……Ah…that's how it is.

I don't want to bother the busy Prince Schuzel, but…there's no other way.

"…Can you help me?"

I can't just go on my own. I don't even know where it is.

"…Understood."

Chief Attendant Rana said this and quickly left the room.
