“Eh!? It ends like this? I wanted to know her answer… Or was she the one that spoke? I’m now confused as there is no indication of such.”

  Ah, I do have the next volume here, maybe I could take a sneak peek and see the answer-No, I shouldn’t do that. I already spoiled too much of the story without even reading the first volume. Though, this story is far different from the previous ones or what I mean is that, the genre of it. This is a romance with I also think elements of slice of life? What does that even mean? Compared to the previous ones and taking into account my Empress personality, I was expecting for all the novels to be about magic and stuff like that. Pure action type of novels. Maybe even where the protagonist overwhelms everyone and everything. Hmm, now that I think about it, she does not have a single novel about Magical Girls. But this has made me think, what if the Hero was that boy and I was the girl instead, how would I react? If he grabbed me like that, I don’t think I could do anything about it. He is that much stronger than I am as my strength is more focused in magic rather than physical. Then what? Would I simply stare at him while waiting for whatever he might do to me? Do I even want him to do anything at all? Do I really want him to say the same as that boy did? I barely know him and the same goes for him about me… N-No, how about if I was the friend instead? And Kiana was the one in front of him…

  “Ah! I came here to not think about him! But after this, it’s getting worse! I can’t take him out of my mind and all of those scenes!”

  Bump! Dump! Bump! Dump!

  Oh no, my heart beat is increasing again! I’m also starting to feel hot all around my body. My cheeks are so hot that I can even feel it in the palm of my hands. I’m also sweating for some reason, although that might be because of the warmth that my body is currently feeling. I don’t understand why each time I think about him in these types of situations my body starts to feel warm and even fuzzy. I don’t feel dizzy but I can’t say that my mind is working correctly either. In fact, I doubt that my body could move as well as normally is able to. Just, why does this happen to me? I shouldn’t be feeling stuff like this, right? But the moment that I thought that Kiana was the one instead of me I… All of those feelings disappeared in an instant. Almost as if I never had them in the beginning at all. Instead, sadness fills over my mind as I cannot stop it from imagining the two of them being together. Why don’t I like that? Of all the people in the world, she’s the only one alongside my Empress that deserves happiness, the true and everlasting happiness. The entire world should bow down to them and yet… Here I am feeling so reluctant about the idea of them being together.

  It’s not like it’s going to happen but even then, just thinking about it is making me weep in sadness. Why?

  “I really should take my mind out of this… But, now what? He’s not done yet... I really don’t have much to do.”

  From what I can sense, he has not yet discovered all the magic stones to unlock the door for the next floor. He won’t be able to do so but, when the time comes, I will tell him. My Empress wanted to know how he would handle himself when he’s alone in this Bubble Universe without any instructions to help him out. I don’t understand why though. He’s the Hero, he’s stronger than me, not only that, he has vast experience in this type of scenarios. I don’t think he will have much trouble achieving what he needs to do. It might take him longer than normal but I doubt he will fail to do so in the end. Though, I do wonder, what will my Empress do to him if he fails? Will she kill him? I don’t want that… No-No, that doesn’t make sense. He’s not the enemy, not only that, he’s the one helping us, not the way around. He could’ve refused to help us but instead he decided to go through, putting himself in a peculiar position as he has no clue what’s happening. But, why doesn’t she tell him everything? Wouldn’t that be better?

  A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.

  Sometimes, I have no clue why she does what she does.

  It’s out of my realm of expertise and if I think about it, it’s normal. She’s my Empress, not the other way around it. Her knowledge is greatly vaster than mine, it’s normal that I cannot fathom what she’s trying to achieve because of it. Maybe I should just directly ask her, this way I will know what she’s thinking of. Though, she currently is a little too occupied and since I have orders to stay here, it seems I will have to wait for her to be. Now, what can I do to pass the time? At least, until he’s done. Ah, I’m feeling a little thirsty…

  And so, the girl walked up to the kitchen portion of the lobby.

  She’s unsure on what to do. There are a couple fruits available for her to make juice or she can simply have a cup of water. There are no alcoholic beverages whatsoever, in this sense she cannot get drunk and completely forget about him for that short time spam. An awful idea but one that nonetheless came across her perplexed mind. She’s not feeling hungry but there are a few sweets inside of the fridge that quickly grabbed her attention. Nothing special, just a couple of freshly baked macarons. Indeed, her Empress took the time to bake the macarons but unfortunately wasn’t able to even taste a single one of them. Since they are inside of the fridge maybe it’s more correct to say that they aren’t fresh but the fact they weren’t there yesterday makes sense why she would reach such a plain conclusion.

  “Maybe I can drink an orange juice with a few macarons on the side? I do find it fascinating; my Empress barely cooks but when she does, she has the tendency to make foods that are for the sweet side. Does she have a sweet tooth?”

  A solid conclusion on her part. She’s the one that cooks the vast majority of the time and even though her sister helps her out from time to time, it’s more than evident that she’s in charge of the food. But even being in charge of such and used to her job, she still cannot handle a candle to what her Empress can cook in the sweet’s realm. However, compared to the pink-haired girl then, none of them truly hold a candle to her. Her mind has been made up on what to do. It seems seeing the macarons that her precious Empress baked has made her mind sparkle with excitement. She grabs a cup, nothing special about it but inside of it, it’s filled with ice cubes. She then walks up to one of the cabinets, gently crouching down in the process as she’s accessing the “floor cabinets”. From inside of it she takes out a specific bottle, one that contains rose syrup inside of it. The bottle is closed meaning that she will “debut” it. She pours just a little bit of the syrup into the cup and after that, she grabs a lemon, a manga and a coconut. Both of the manga and the coconut she used the skill Pocket Dimension to pick them up as otherwise, they wouldn’t be available. She cuts both the manga and the lemon in half, while one of the lemon halves she squeezes the juices into the cup, the manga on the other hand, she “transforms it into a paste”. With a special tool she grinded the whole manga until it transformed into some sort of liquid paste, something akin to manga juice. It’s quite thick and with a vibrant orange colour to it but, it’s more than evident that she’s satisfied with the results as she eagerly pours the juice into the cup. For last, she removes the coconut water, pouring it into the cup. The rest of the coconut she stores it in the fridge and the other half of the lemon suffers the same fate but from there, she grabs three macarons. With everything ready, she takes a seat and begins to enjoy the meal.

  However, while she did so, he still was prevalent in her mind. Forcing her to eat in silence as all of those scenarios and possibilities are created inside of her mind.

  “This was a really nice combination but… It made everything worse… I-I simply can’t take him out of my mind. Ma-Maybe I should move my body? Ye-yeah, maybe a walk around here might help me out.”

  Unsure of what to do, she reaches this conclusion. Another way to take him out of her mind that she came up with. Although in this case, it did work for brief moments.
