Chapter 7

Thank you for the bookmark.

The beautiful youth with golden hair swayed, embracing and supporting the back of the silver-haired girl. For a moment, the surroundings were captivated, as if admiring a piece of art.

However, as for myself...

(Ahhh! What should I do, what should I do! If I push him away, I might send the prince flying! Right now, I’m absolutely, 100% sure I can’t control my strength!)

I was in complete panic.

"You’re trembling… You don’t need to be so scared, my lovely, pure princess."

(Huh??)

"Come on, take my hand… I’ll turn your tension into sweet excitement."

(What is he saying, this 7-year-old! He just casually said such an embarrassing line with a bright smile!)

I was so overwhelmed by the embarrassing and ridiculous lines that I almost burst out laughing. I quickly turned my face away and tried to suppress my laughter.

"Are you blushing? How cute."

(Sto-o-op! I’m going to laugh! I can’t help it! This is a crime of disrespect! What is this 7-year-old doing? Is he serious? Is he really trying to make me laugh?)

I struggled to suppress my laughter, bowing my head and trembling slightly. My face was probably flushed from the effort.

"Prince… it’s time…"

One of the knights standing behind us finally spoke to the prince.

"Right, it’s a shame, but…"

The prince reluctantly moved away from me, casually brushing a strand of my hair as he did. He seemed reluctant to leave, even at the last moment… I don’t need that kind of performance!

While it might look cool to some, to me, a 20-something-year-old (mentally), it just looked like a child trying to act grown-up. I had to struggle to keep from showing a disrespectful expression and just bowed my head.

Everyone else must be as shocked as I am. When the prince moved away, I glanced sideways and saw the girls looking at him with dreamy expressions.

(No way! Is there something wrong with me?)

Feeling a bit shocked, I stumbled backward, and Tütte supported me.

"Are you okay, miss?"

"Y-Yes… I’m fine. But I was rude to the prince. What should I do? I hope I didn’t offend him."

"That’s surprising. To me, it looked like a very sweet moment… I couldn’t help but be captivated."

Tütte had the same dreamy expression as the other girls.

(Wh-What… I thought Tütte would be on my side.)

"Oooh!"

While I was still in shock, the crowd erupted in cheers. I looked at the pedestal and saw the prince glowing.

To be precise, the crystal in front of him was glowing, but the light was so intense that it looked like he was glowing.

As expected of the prince, the amount and color of the light were far beyond anything I had seen from other children.

The scene was truly that of a chosen one. His perfect appearance matched the spectacle perfectly, and I couldn’t help but be captivated by how cool it looked.

After a while, the prince turned and descended from the pedestal.

I had already been led to a corner by Tütte to avoid getting in the way.

The prince looked around as if searching for something, and I quickly hid behind Tütte, fearing he might say something about my earlier blunder.

A few seconds later, the prince left with his attendants, and the tense atmosphere in the area eased.

"Next, Miss Mary, please come forward."

"Y-Yes!"

Relieved, I responded with a cracked voice. I heard some giggles, but I didn’t have time to worry about that as I hurried to the pedestal.

(After the prince… I don’t want to go after such an amazing display. If my light is weak, I might cry.)

I sighed and placed my hand on the crystal.

Suddenly, everything around me turned completely white, blinding me.

---

[It’s been a long time, girl from another world.]

A voice echoed in the white world.

(This voice! It’s the one from before! So it really was a god.)

[Indeed. How do you like the new world?]

Despite the voice not being spoken aloud, I accepted it as a god’s way of communicating and was satisfied.

Looking around, I could only sense someone in front of me in the vast white world.

"Yes! It’s like the world of a game I used to love, and it’s so much fun."

[That’s good, that’s good. I’m glad I could grant your wish.]

"My wish? To be in a world of swords and magic?"

I tried to recall my past life’s memories, but while I had thought the game world was nice, I didn’t remember wishing for it.

[No, that was my judgment. You seemed to like that kind of world in your past life.]

"Thank you. Then, what was my wish?"

It felt rude to ask about my own wish, but since I couldn’t recall it, I decided to ask straightforwardly.

[To be born with a body that would never lose to anything.]

Hearing those words, I remembered the thought I had in my last moments.

Yes, I had wished for something like that.

[But this world is a world of swords and magic, where monsters run rampant and heroic tales are told. To ensure you never lose to anything, I had to work hard.]

"Eh…"

I felt the blood drain from my face, and cold sweat trickled down my back.

[Since I didn’t know what might happen to you, I boosted your basic stats to the maximum in this world. Now, your attack, defense, speed, and all physical attributes are unmatched.]

"Eh, ah… Yes… Thank you."

[However, since this world has magic, you might still lose, so I made your magic power unmatched as well. In this world, the level of magic you can use is determined by your total magic power, so now you can use all levels of magic.]

"Eh, ah… Yes… Thank you."

[Still, I was a bit worried, so I also gave you a permanent skill that makes you immune to all physical and magical attacks. Now, whether it’s a dragon, a demon king, or a natural disaster, you are absolutely invincible.]

"Eh, ah… Yes… Thank you."

I was overwhelmed by the shocking information and could only give empty responses.

[Yes, yes, that’s good, that’s good. Now, have a good life. I will bless your path.]

The voice faded away.

I stood there, completely dazed, unable to do anything.

As I rapidly returned to reality, my mind couldn’t process the overwhelming information, and I fainted.

What a situation. It seems my body is now invincible, never losing to anything.

Thank you for reading this far. Finally, she has realized her own power. It was a long journey…
