If you were transported from this world to another almost identical.

If you were transported from your life to your teenage self.

If you had to restart your life again.

Would you, or would you cling to your memories?

This is a Japanese manga/anime -style slice of life high school romance with a splash of sci-fi. In this kind of romance friendship plays a big role compared to your standard western romance. Ensemble cast, so if you only want one main character this is not for you.

Hi, my name is Caitlyn Rivers. My life is just like any other student — school, study, rest and repeat. If there was one thing I would say was different from others, it would be that I am obsessed with reading. So much so that I have my own library; A total of 36 books. All my most favourite romance titles. 

Okay, maybe calling 36 books a library was exaggerating it a bit, but in my heart, it is the most awesome library. It even comes with my very own movie theater... Of 10 movies. But I bought them all with my own allowance! I am absolutely proud of my collection... But only at home. It's not that I don't want to show it off to others, but when you get too immersed talking about your hobby? Sometimes, mean people talk, and words do in fact hurt. 

Even so, I love reading them. I love watching them too! Novels, movies, even Japanese shoujo manga. I love immersing my thoughts into their worlds, dreaming about being the heroine of the story, finding my own love. 

One thing I never understood from them, was why the second leads are always just... Second. They are clearly just as handsome as the main lead, they are definitely much more approachable than the main leads, and some of them are even more perfect! If I were the heroines, I would definitely pick them.

At least, I wished real life worked as easily as the heroines in these stories. Too bad I'm much too introverted, much too shy to even be able to approach boys like that. But I've decided that this year, will be the year that I will try to make some friends of my own for once and maybe even find my own love in the process. Hopefully, with a new and improved mindset, I can finish high school with a bang! 

***********************

Dear Diary,
Tomorrow marks my first day in a new high school. We've settled in to our new home, and the only places I've familiarised myself with are this street we're on — and the small park opposite — but here's a fresh new entry to make a fresh new start!

I'm a little nervous on whether or not I can step out of my comfort zone, but I decided to try my best! 

Love always,
Kate

PS. I heard from mom that there are a couple of boys around my age on this same street. I wonder if they're close childhood friends, just like in those novels! <3

"I've read so many romance-genre works, and the outgoing, lively nice guy, never ends up with the girl. I've always wondered why. This is a story about me, a serial romantic who buries myself in romance books, and my very own nice guy."

A/N This story is written in first person and dedicated to all the nice guys in movies, novels and dramas, who didn't win.
P.S. The image, I believe, is a royalty free image (from the interwebs) which should hopefully be safe for use.

Many of the old books stacks fell to 100 dollars, but there were still no bids.

The old and new books were different; once old books were deemed to have no knowledge value, they would often become worthless paper.

The current price for waste paper was 210 dollars per ton. These stacks of old books were, at most, about 220 pounds. Even selling them as waste paper wouldn’t make much money, and would surely end up as a loss.

The two huge units, containing over 100,000 books, were slowly auctioned off from morning all the way until the late afternoon.

In the mid-afternoon, Li Du, Hans, and Godzilla ate some dumplings. A smart Chinese vendor had brought his cart to sell some fast food. Business was booming for him. The treasure hunters were too lazy to go out for lunch, so they just bought food from him.

With the afternoon auction over, Godzilla loaded the books into the truck. They had bought a total of 4,000 books. It was quite a hassle to load them, with the compartment space stuffed to the brim.

Seeing that there was still some time left in the day, Li Du said, "Let’s go back to Flagstaff."

Hans wanted to stay. "We’ve worked all day, especially Godzilla. After moving all those books, he’s definitely tired out. Let’s just stay in Phoenix and have some fun for the night."

Li Du shrugged and agreed. He knew that to Hans, a big city like Phoenix was much more attractive than a small town like Flagstaff.

They drove to a motel, and Li Du’s phone rang. He picked up the call and heard Sophie’s voice. "Hi, Li, where are you at?"

"In Phoenix. How about you? Are you off from work?"

Sophie said, "Yup. I went off work quite early today, and wanted to invite you to dinner to thank you for the help lately. You’ve done so much for me. But since you’re in Phoenix, next time then…"

Li Du immediately changed his tune."It’s like this, Sophie: We’re actually on the way back to Flagstaff from Phoenix. We’ll be back by dinner time." 

He gestured while he said that, and Godzilla quickly turned the steering wheel and drove the truck onto the highway.

Hans sat helplessly in the shotgun seat, his exciting night for today gone.

Sophie said joyfully, "That’s great, what would you like to eat?"

Li Du replied happily as well, "I’m fine with anything."

Hearing that answer, the female doctor was troubled. "Anything? Then I don’t know what to choose, because I don’t know your palette."

Li Du was about to answer, when Hans waved to him and mouthed: "Pause!"

Although he didn’t know what that guy was trying to pull, Li Du still had some trust in Hans, so he told the female doctor that he’d call back later and hung up.

"What’s wrong?"

"Sophie’s asking you out for dinner?" Hans replied with another question.

"Yeah, what’s wrong?" Li Du asked without thinking, and then froze for a moment. "D*mmit, you were eavesdropping on us?"

Hans rolled his eyes. "My ears are good; you can’t fault me for that. Listen, me eavesdropping isn’t important. If you want to ‘improve’ your relationship with her, then the next step is important."

Li Du mumbled, "Why would I want to ‘improve’ our relationship?"

Hans waved and said, "Alright, alright, then just pretend I didn’t say anything…"

"Stop, stop, stop. Big Fox, continue, continue." Li Du gave a fake smile as he spoke. He did have some affection for the female doctor, and indeed hoped that he could have a more established relationship with her.

Hans rolled his eyes again. "Next time, in front of me, don’t act like you’re some saint, okay? When it comes to issues about women, don’t expect to be able to hide anything from me, okay?"

"Ok-ok-ok!" Li Du nodded like a woodpecker.

"I know Sophie—her whole family are devoted Christians. Since youth, she didn’t spend time with boys. I bet that the first guy she’s ever asked out to dinner is you."

Li Du smiled gleefully.

"So that means—in her heart—you’re not just an ordinary man, and unordinary men do not do typical things. Moreover, they do not have typical dates."

Li Du said, "Right, right, so what should I do?"

"What should you do? Show off the best side of you! It’s like how a lion displays his strength when seeking a mate. When I’m seeing my mate, I’ll display my eight-inch cannon…"

"F*ck you! Can you be serious!" It was Li Du’s turn to roll his eyes.

Hans said, "I am being serious. What’s the best side of you that you can show?"

Li Du thought for a bit, and said, "My kind side, my brave side, my responsible side…"

"F*ck you! Can you be serious!" Hans threw his exact words back at him.

Mr. Li felt wronged. Those were his serious answers.

Hans said, "It’s cooking! Your cooking skills are outstanding. This is a rare trait among men!"

"And then?"

"And then are you an idiot? Grab this chance to show off your cooking skills! There’s no need for restaurants. Just bring the ingredients, go straight to Sophie’s home, and enjoy the homely atmosphere. It’ll definitely bring your relationship up a level!" Hans said confidently.

"Wouldn’t that be too forceful?" Li Du asked hesitantly.

Hans said, "If you don’t want to, why not just learn from Helene Hanff and Frank Doel, and communicate with letters for 20 years before meeting?"

"What?"

Hans was stunned. "You don’t know? The New York writer, Helene Hanff, and the antiquarian bookseller for Marks & Co, Frank Doel. Their story, a famous romance novel, ‘84 Charing Cross Road?’"

Li Du rubbed his nose and said, "I’m not that interested in romance novels."

"You have a d*mn master’s." Hans turned scornful.

Godzilla, who was driving, wore a despondent expression. "The topic changed real quickly."

They got back on track, and Hans began imparting upon Li Du his tricks for dating.

Two hours later, the sky was turning dark. Lights from many households began switching on, and Sophie heard someone knocking at her door.

"Hello, I’m here." 

Sophie bounced up and ran to the door. She opened it and saw a bouquet of snow-white tulips in front of her, with Li Du right behind them. 

Sophie was surprised. She looked at the fresh flowers, and then pointed to her cheeks and asked, "For me?"

Li Du shook his head. "No, don’t misunderstand, these are for the piano in your house. White tulips match pianos."

Sophie generously accepted the fresh flowers, and then used the tulips to cover her mouth. She giggled, "This must be some idea from Hans, that rascal!"

Mr. Li smiled, but it wasn’t out of awkwardness. The female doctor had hit the mark. It was indeed Hans’s idea—including that sentence.

Seeing that his expression changed, Sophie smiled even more joyfully. She ran back inside and placed the flowers into a vase, and focused on displaying them on top of the piano.

Then, she turned back and said with a slight smile, "My piano says, ‘thank you,’ and she will allow her owner to invite you out to dinner."

Li Du brought a cardboard box in. "Um, can we not go out for dinner? How about I make our meals instead? I’m good at cooking up Chinese dishes. I also know some Thai, Japanese, and Korean dishes.

Sophie widened her eyes. "That won’t do. It should be a treat from me to thank you for all of the help."

Li Du said, "You might not know that I love to cook. I especially like watching people eat the food I’ve made, so if you allow me that opportunity, it would be the best way of saying thanks to me."

Sophie stared at him suspiciously and asked, "Is that what Hans taught you to do as well?"

"No! I’m not Big Fox’s child!" Li Du didn’t know if he should laugh or cry. "I’m telling the truth!"

"I’ll gladly accept it then," Sophie said.

"Sure!" Mr. Li said cheerfully.
 
 
 



They love gold, and they love silver. Even more so, they love gems that dazzle, like stars across the skies. 
Firearms, jewelleries, and precious metals; A collector’s world will not be complete without antiques.  
Storage auctions, old goods trade, re-estate sales and gold-digging. But the truth is, if one wants to make money, then the supreme way is through searching for the legendary treasures. 
Holding the fort, there’s an ocelot, a wolf, and an Andes condor. At the side, there’s a loyal hound, an irascible ape, and an African honey badger. Who said that you can only rely on humans when treasure hunting?! 

To say the castle is beautiful would be an understatement. It's so gorgeous. Even better than my own castle. But I won't admit it to anyone especially to some big-headed kidnapper King and besides, I love my kingdom and castle.

We passed through many corridors where the arts of different artists are displayed on the walls. Golden and silver chandelier hanging on the ceiling and red carpet on the floor. Multiple doors on either side of mine as I am walking behind the Butler whose name is Haru. That is a Japanese word but is also used in the Korean language. His name means day, which I find quite cute. He is the most senior here who had rendered his services in this castle for more than thirty years. 

Haru showed me the library which I must say is very good and as many books as I can't count. This place is a special treat for me. This place will take the most time of my day.

"Will you continue the tour or will spend your time here? Princess" Haru asked me politely with a smile on his cute wrinkly face. He is such a good man.

"No, we may continue the tour some other time whenever you are free because I want to spend my time here," I asked with a small smile gracing my lips. He smiled in return.

"It's okay princess, whenever you want to continue the tour, I am always at your service regarding any matter" With that being said he bowed a little in front of me and left me there in this big world full of fantasies.

Back in my castle, I used to have a library too but it was not as large as this one and I already read almost all the books present there. Yes, I love books that much.

They take me to a world full of things that I have never experienced.

Walking towards the first shelf I took a book out of hundreds. Not even a little dust. There are plush chairs with a glass table and a lantern on it on every right corner of the library. I chose one and sat on it, opened my book and started reading it. The genre comes to be romance.

I have a bad habit of not looking at the description of the book before I decide to read it. I just pick one and start reading it. This makes me comfortable with every genre. I am not the type of person who reads a book of only one type. I love to read each and everything I find somewhere.

Time passed in a blur and it's already dark outside. I can tell because there is a window here and the time when I came here there was still light out there but now there is no light except for the fact that there is some shine of the moon which illuminates the room.

Since there is no more light and the fire of the lantern has already finished so I decided to head back towards my room when suddenly my belly made an embarrassing sound. I am hungry. I didn't eat anything because I spent all of my time in the library since morning. Myung-Dae must have been returned by now.

He didn't ask me to eat dinner with him.

That thought suddenly crawled upon my mind. What I am thinking? It's not like that if he ate one dinner or one breakfast with me he will always do this. But still...

Ignoring the sudden sadness which is bubbling within me I head back towards my room.

A knock on the oak door erupted my train of thoughts.

"Come in"

There stands Haru on the door with a tray full of food. He entered the room and spoke,

"Princess, our king has sent his greatest apologies that he couldn't join you for dinner as he is not coming back to the castle because of some business, so I have taken this food, so you can eat it since you also didn't eat your lunch," he said and I politely took the tray from him with newfound happiness.

So he was not here, that is why he didn't ask me to eat dinner with him.

I don't know why I am happy about this.

A story of a dark King, claiming a princess as his.

A story of a princess, where she tries to escape her fate.

Chapter 1050 – Huge Difference

 To the adventure gamemode players, the country war was a bet that could not be lost.

 Different from how Lord players chased for merit points and land, adventure gamemode players joined the country war would be awarded points based on their contribution to the battle.

 Gaia was fair. Similar to how Lords could enjoy the points from bringing their armies, guild leaders could enjoy the contribution points from their guild members and hence obtain huge amounts of points.

 Hence, this country war not only affected one's honor, but it was also a battle between super guilds.

 What were the use of contribution points?

 Similar to the Battle Map, during the country war period, Gaia would open up a country war commerce city. Adventure gamemode players would use their points to exchange for different products in the city.

 After five years of observation, Gaia understood exactly what adventure gamemode players wanted.

 To the adventure gamemode players, no matter what time it was in the game, secret manuals, weapons, equipment, and skill books would be their lifelong dream, and that would not stop.

 With dark gold equipment, one would crave for platinum equipment, with platinum equipment, one would crave for God Rank equipment.

 One would always stare at the taller mountain.

 The items placed in the country war commerce city were basically these three types of items, and they were all rarely seen elite products that people drooled for. Along with Gaia cancelling the auction, elite items like these were becoming rarer and rarer.

 Just this alone made it worth it for adventure gamemode players to take this risk.

 Risk it all, risk it all.

 Were they not born to do this?

 Win and all their equipment would be changed to new ones with much better stats. If they lose, they would be total goners.

 So this was a battle that people bet their lives on.

 Especially as the world martial arts competition was proceeding; it motivated the adventure gamemode players. Anyone with ambition would gather up at the gathering points excitedly.

 The China region had 100 million players, and just the combat occupation players exceeded 10 million.

 In the following five days, a total of three million combat occupation players gathered up at the gathering points and were ready to throw themselves into this legendary battle.

 Three million combat occupation players was as much as 10 super guilds.

 The China region players were passionate for the country war, making one satisfied and delighted when they looked on.

 Ouyang Shuo was one of the greatest beneficiaries. As there were many players who joined in, to prevent them from lacking enemies, some smart ones chose the Korea battlefield, and some chose Zhenla and Nanzhang.
Many adventure gamemode players joining in greatly lowered the country war risk of Great Xia.

 On the 29th day, of the three million combat occupation players, half of them chose to join the Japanese battlefield, and the specific number was around 1.65 million.

 Amongst which, 900 thousand of them chose the north route, which was the Shanhai Alliance route.

 The truth proved that more people preferred Great Xia in the China region.

 Although there were 750 thousand players who chose the south, and the difference was not much, one must not forget that six super guilds were under Di Chen.

 Great Xia only had three super guilds for Japan due to them fighting on three sides.

 This also meant that apart from the six super guilds, the south route only had around 200 thousand scattered players whilst there were 600 thousand on the north route.

 One against three, the difference was huge.

 If it were not for some players being afraid that the competition in the north would be too intense, this difference might be even greater.

 That was understandable.

 The six families could only control the elite level and had no influence on normal players. On the contrary, Ouyang Shuo was a legendary grassroots person who had an unparalleled attraction amongst this player group.

 This was without considering the million players on the Korea battlefield as well as the 350 thousand players that went toward the Nanzhang and Zhenla battlefield. If not, the gap would humiliate Di Chen.

 The moment the results were out, not only Di Chen, but the six big families were all stunned.

 They knew that Ouyang Shuo had huge influence amongst commoners, but that was just an impression after all. There were no actual statistics.

 When this fact was placed right in front of their eyes, they could truly feel how huge Ouyang Shuo's influence was in China.

 News had it that the moment the results came out, the Feng Family grandfather had locked himself in his reading room and did not come out for an entire night. Obviously, his thoughts were stimulated by all this.

 Maybe he was not the only one that had a sleepless night. A large change was quietly sprouting.
 ...
 Even Ouyang Shuo himself felt a little surprised.

 The moment the results came out, Ouyang Shuo was both happy and worried. Why he was happy did not need to be explained, as such influence was the basis of Ouyang Shuo's future goals.

 He was worried that because of the data, he could not keep it low profile.

 "I'm too high profile!"

 Ouyang Shuo sighed in his heart. He was a pure utilitarian and always held the theory to do things high profile and be a low profile person. He liked to hide in the dark to amass power and gain things like that.

 However, along with him being revealed, Ouyang Shuo could not be low profile. No matter what he did, there would be numerous eyes staring at him. Just like being placed under a microscope and being observed by people at every moment.

 "I might have no rest in the future."

 Ouyang Shuo was filled with thoughts. Although that was the case, he weirdly felt no fear. Instead, his heart was really calm, "No worries, from this moment onward, I'll take the center stage!"

 Being high profile had its benefits.

 Ouyang Shuo had to adapt to living under the limelight sooner or later.
 ...
 Gaia 5th year, 6th month, 1st day, Beihai Bay.

 During these past few days, Ouyang Shuo had sent four batches of troops. This time, he personally embarked, stepping on this either glorious or dark journey.

 Behind him were a few special guests.

 They were the Fallen Phoenix City Lord Feng Qiuhuang, Blood Evil Mercenary Guild Blood Romance, Snow-War Rose Mercenary Guild leader Xie Siyun and Streamer leader Haoran Qishi.

 During these past few days, Lin Jing had brought the elite troops of Snow-War Rose and left.

 Adding in Ouyang Shuo himself, the five of them were the main leaders of the north route. Specific instructions would be given by Li Jing while the elite forces were led by their leaders.

 Hence, Ouyang Shuo jokingly called themselves the Japanese tourists who just watched the fun and did not do anything.

 As for the scattered players, Ouyang Shuo did not think about gathering up, as he did not have the ability to do so. Once they disembarked, he had no way to hold them.

 As it was already the country war month, those setting out had basically already set out. Just last night, the Li Jing led Bear Legion Corps had set off under the protection of the 5th division of the Yashan Squadron.

 Hence, the Beihai Bay today was quite cold, and only the Emperor Squadron was docked here.

 The Emperor was still so eye-catching, making the following Blood Romance and the others look on with their mouths agape. They did not expect that Great Xia would actually be able to craft such a majestic warship.

 Facing the awe of Blood Romance, Ouyang Shuo smiled and did not say anything. How would they know that Great Xia had made the even better iron armored warships their building priority?

 If nothing went wrong, the first experimental warship would soon enter the water.

 After getting on the Emperor, they were not in a hurry to rush off, as they were waiting.

 At 9 AM, the System Notification sounded punctually.

 "World Notification: the first country war month has begun, lasting for a month. Country war leaders, please select your country war buff based on your country's honor points, effective immediately. Country war leaders who have the country weapon can activate country fate buff. For the specific situation, please check it out yourself!"
 ...
 China had 40 honor points, which were all obtained by Great Xia. They could choose a total 40% of buffs, and the types were attack, defense, and speed.

 After the notification ended, Ouyang Shuo followed his plans and chose 20 for attack and 20 on defense.

 Attack and defense balance was the way of the king.

 At the same time, Ouyang Shuo took a look at the country fate buff brought by the Xuanyuan Sword.

 Imposing: increases movement speed of China Region troops by 20%, battle point contribution increased added by 5%.

 "That's not bad." Ouyang Shuo nodded in satisfaction.

 Just like that, all the participating China region troops, including the players, would enjoy 20% buffs of all three aspects. This would raise their strength by a level.

 Such treatment could only be enjoyed by the China region.

 Other countries had at most 10 honor points.

 One must know that this buff was not only limited to the Japan battlefield, as it was the same for the Korea, Nanzhang, and Zhenla battlefield.

 Even if it were within the country, as long as a fight occurs, they would enjoy a similar buff.

 Ouyang Shuo closed his personal interface and took in a deep breath, looking toward the ocean, waving his hand forward powerfully.

 "Advance!"

 With the order given, the Emperor Squadron finally left the port.

 Just as Ouyang Shuo and the group stepped on their journey, the Pacific Squadron that had set off four days ago had already arrived near the ocean regions around Hokkaido and were engaging the Japanese squadron that were patrolling.

 A huge plot was slowly hanging over the heads of Great Xia.



Earth Online – a virtual MMORPG that takes place in the future year of 2190 – a game that everyone will bet their futures on. Set in a map that is ten times the size of real-world Earth, players battle for supremacy in the first game to feature personal adventure, territory construction, and grand warfare.

For merely a piece of equipment, his sworn brother betrayed and backstabbed him. This time, after he reincarnated in the game, Ouyang Shuo swore to exact vengeance.

However, in an unexpected turn of events, Ouyang Shuo found himself back five years before the betrayal – right before the launch of Earth Online. This time, armed with the knowledge from his past life, Ouyang Shuo would venture upon a new path.

How to perfectly complete quests? What historical battle maps would appear? How should one build up their territory? Utilizing the experience from the predecessors of his last life, Ouyang Shuo makes his bid for the top against all odds. Follow his journey as he seeks to lord over the world!

A different kind of tale that blends historical characters and virtual reality gaming, with heavy emphasis on kingdom building and warfare.

To Learn Magic
Kagurazaka Yuuki was an openhearted good guy.
His age should be in the second half of the 20s, but his look is still like a high school student.
I heard the reason; it was due to some kind of curse.
When he comes to this world, it seems he didn't acquire any unique skill or unique abilities, only his physical abilities that grow abnormally.
 
[Well~, I give up.
Actually, I noticed something was strange after five years have passed.....]
 
He says that while laughing and scratching his head.
Thanks to that, I heard he never had a date with women before. Actually, he is a fellow who possesses a good impression.
 
[Well, is that so?! That's disappointing!
Ha ha ha. Eventually it'll turn better!]
 
I'm comforting him sincerely.
 
[By the way, Rimuru-san, are you a Monster?
 But how could you pass the barrier of the Association headquarters?]
[N? Ah, I'm a Monster. My true identity is slime. This trivia, please conceal it!]
[No, no! That's not just a trivia!
Not that.Why did you made such city for monsters?]
[Eh? No, there are enough monsters to establish a city, is it unusual?]
[No..... Although from what I heard there's no other like...] 
[Is that so?]
[That's right]
 
We stare at each other for a while.
Well, whatever.
For now I decided to get along with the Leader of Association (Grand Master).
It is to discourage the city's image as a suspicious monsters city, for now let's talk about the truth.
Come to think about it, Shizu-san is aware of my true identity from the air I carry. I think she's an amazing person.
Usually, there is no one that will think a person from another world would reincarnate as a slime.
 
[Actually, I'm a "Space Alien"....]
[What are you trying to say? You?
Rather, it's the first time I heard space alien since coming here!
By any chance...]
[Damn, I was exposed!
So, my true identity is a mysterious hero that fights after doing Transformation (Form Change)! Kamen Racer!]
 
*pose*! Or as close as I could do, (TL: Nice!)

[How nostalgic! Kamen Racer, I was watching it too!
So, as I thought, Rimuru-san you're.... a Japanese, right!]
 
Fufu.
After I tell some material that only fellow countrymen could understand, it's a bull's eye.
In case, he doesn't know the story, at that time I will think about something else.
After that, we talk about various things together.
Things that happen after coming to this world, Shizu-san's final moments.
Living in this world, Magic.
The topics from the world on the other side. Such like endings and final episodes of Manga and Anime, he leans his body forward and really get into it.
 
[Master! From this point, please instruct me by all means!] (ED: us? Haven't read 55 & 56) (TL: Sorry after checking the raw, it's me not us)
[Fu Fu Fu. It's difficult. The anime you really want to know is already completed!
Of course, on those matters the great I won't make any mistakes, I will restrain on what should not be said. (TL: Should I write it as "I will not give unnecessary spoiler")
It's a gentleman's etiquette!!!]
 
[Ha ha~~~!!! By all means, of course!]
 
His Desperation comes out.
 
In the middle of the conversation, the secretary onee-san entered the room with tea,
She opened her eyes in shock and almost dropped the tray.
As expected, the prank has probably ended.
Well, He can't read the continuation of his favorite manga, so it's natural for him to be interested.
Among them, some had reached its conclusion, but most of them didn't advanced that much.
Some of them were interesting but some were awful.
           
That's what I expected from him, Japanese "World Traveler" that has knowledge after living in this world for 10 years.
 
Of course, the serious talks begin now.
The previous one is only casual talk.
　
 
[Rimuru-san, the reason you came to the Royal Capital, is not only to meet me,your fellow countrymen, right?
Is your goal to "Return"?]
 
Return.
I'm thinking about it. However, I gave up on it.
Because I'm already dead. However, for young people such as them, returning might be their goal.

[Are you able to do that?]
 
Regarding this question, the response that comes was silence.
It's not an easy thing to do.
If it is an easy thing to do, they would already return a long time ago. I already thought that.
 
[It's like a one way road. This world is like a half material world.....]
 
And, I understood the explanation he gives.
It's simple; the previous world was a full material world, because there is no magic power on Earth.
Spirits, demons, fairies, monsters can exist because there are magic power in this world.
Therefore, you can easily go down, but it's impossible to climb up.
Once your body became half material, you can't turn back easily into your full material body.
 
[However, there is a way.
From the legend in the material world (Earth) about demon and devil, if some conditions are met, it is possible to travel between worlds.]

The talks had been finished.
Well, it is what is called steps in a research.
For that goal, I guess I would like to continue hearing the progression of the research.
 
 
[Well, if I'm able to live carefree, then that's enough.
The town had been finished, and it's enjoyable to be together with my companion.
To converse with fellow countrymen is one of the biggest reason I come to this Royal Capital.
But there's actually another purpose besides it, and that's.....]
 
The other purposes were.
To buy magic stones and inspecting the Royal Capital. To measure the degree of civilization, those visits are that important.
However, the most important purpose I had not forgotten.
That is, to learn magic!

[Well, there were several purposes.
It's good to talk with you, after this I want to visit the Library.]

When I said that,
 
[Ah, I see. So, it's Magic right? That sure is nice...
I also want to learn some of it, however for some reason I can't use it.
I think it might be because the change in my body's nature.
Magic, would be a man's special romance...]
 
This person, it seems that he is also the kind of person who understood a man's romance.
As expected, since it exists he wants to be able to use it.
[I see.How long do you intend to stay at the Royal Capital?]
[N? I had thought to stay for about 1 month.
Now then, I wonder if I can learn magic by that time.]
[If that's so, can't you stay for about 3 months?]

 
Hearing the explanation, it seems there is lack of school teacher in the Royal Capital.
There is a lot of impertinent student, so it's impossible for the B rank adventurer in the Royal Capital.
When the new school term begins, the new A Rank is scheduled to arrive and take up the position of the teacher. So, there is a need to entrust the position for 3 months until then.
 
There is no reason to hurry, even if I may accept it somehow...
While thinking about this,
 
[Teacher's dormitory, 3 meals a day, and salary of 10 silver coins a day.
Also! How about additional free pass to the Royal Capital library?]
 
[Of course, I will take it! You would do the same if I'm in trouble!]
[  [  [Ha ha ha ha ha ha!]  ]  ]
 
We shook each other's hand while smiling; I got a job at the Royal Capital. 




 
I bid farewell to Yuuki, finishing the formalities in one day, and I was told to go to the dormitory tomorrow.
The talk immediately ended, there were no problems either and thus the move to the dormitory finished.
Well, though I experience the Royal Capital Inn service only for 1 night, the service there was quite satisfying.
The two included meals are delicious. As expected, the seasoning is also used abundantly.
Even thought the Inn that I resided at is cheap, they also provide a large public bath. And it's wonderful too.
In the country, it's seldom to see a local Inn with Bath service.
However, if you want to stay for 3 months, living in the dormitory is more convenient. Thus the move to the dormitory is immediately finished.
Even if I regret nothing, 4 silver coins a day is quite high.
The salary of 10 Silver coins will be given on the working days, there won't be any on holiday.
Though it was expected for the Royal Capital to have high living expense, there is no problem to save money.
But work is for tomorrow, today is for visiting the library.
 
There is a restriction to enter the room with Magic Books.
But when I present the Adventurer identification card, I can enter the room without any problems. They seem to keep what they had promised to me when I take up the teacher job.
Even though the Library is located in the Royal Capital, it is not the Royal Library.The Royal Library is located inside the Castle.
As those are in Royal family possession, only Court Magician can access it.
In every country the library seems to hold the Country's secret magic, so it was difficult for a foreigner to visit it.
But it doesn't mean that this Library worth is low. They are not.
The Library, where I stand now, exhibited the secret arts that the adventurers had collected. The Ancient Magic that the Freedom Association adventurers found is also collected at this place.　
It can be said, that it is possible that this Library had a worth that is equal to the other countries Royal Library.
It's wonderful.
Coming to this Royal Capital early like this is like being blessed with good fortune.
Even though this is a favor from Yuuki, surely it's mainly because of my good behavior.
 
I immediately check the magic books.
If you read it straight, the books amount is such that it seems to be impossible to read all of them in someone's lifetime.
To everyone in the world who studies diligently, Forgive Me!
After apologizing in my heart, I read it quickly with『Great Sage』.
For someone nearby who sees me, it seems to them that I only take a book in my hand for a while and then return them to the shelves. Actually, just by holding it in my hand, the book goes inside my body.
So! I copy it completely.
Simultaneous utilization of 『Great Sage』and『Gluttony』abilities, high speed copy of the magic books that I hold in my hands.
I am postponing checking the content of the book for a later time. Unfortunately, it is not possible to be able to use magic just by copying the books.
But, taking and copying it, I'm able to make the index of the magic books I want.
After this, it's necessary for me to study it one by one. For that reason, I took and copied the books one after another without seeing the title.
Even with the copying speed, it's taking a whole day, I'm only able to take a tenth portion of all the books here.
It seems for now on, I'm going to come to the Library frequently in my break time and day off.
Thus, my day off passed. However, there was no regret.
For my goal to learn magic, it's just a trivial thing to do.


-----------------------------
 

Well, it's the first day of the job.
Still this is a bit difficult job, I understood that after experiencing it at the first day taking the position.
Rather than a teacher, I became an Instructor. Because there isn't anyone capable to fill the vacant position Shizu-san left. My job is to become the substitution.
Yuuki's jobs are not only as the Leader of Freedom Association (Grand Master), but also to manage the Freedom Academy as its Executive Director.
He was the Chairman too. The person in question says that it's just a honorary position, but it's still an important position.
After coming to this world for 10 years, he develops the Freedom Association, running an academy. In one sense, he is the representative of all the adventurers.
This academy had also referred as an institution to nurture the association's member.
Moreover, each class is separate just like in the Association,

Thus, they are divided just like how the Association. However, the basic teaching is shared between classes.
The position I take is the vacant homeroom teacher of the special class. Alias, S class.
But it's seem the class's member is still at the age of elementary grade student.
It says the former homeroom teacher is the "Demon Teacher", Izawa Shizue. It's Shizu-san!
She's the hero whose nickname is"Explosive Monarch". So the teachers succeeding her pale in comparison to her.
All previous teachers, being unable to handle the "severe interaction" with the students, ran away from the academy.
When I was giving my greetings in the staff room, I was told that by the other teachers.
 
[No, even for someone who looks like a child, I think you still had trouble with those problem children.....
Even if you are a B rank adventurer...
Well, you had recommendation from the chairman, please quickly report if it seems impossible for you.]

The principal worries too much.
They are just kids! Hahaha. Or so what I think....

 
[Chee~~se! From this day, yours new homeroom teacher is....,]
 
In the place I stood and greeting them friendly, a flaming sword flying towards me.
I become panicked and managed to avoid it
 
[Ken-chan, Cool~~~!!!]
[Is that, a special move? You perfected it!?]
[However, it's still lacking. It should not be easily avoided!]
 
 
 
Noisy children.
I will end up split and charred black if I didn't avoid it.

Ey, calm down will ya. The class'll be destroy'd if ya went ta rampage!

I retort in pseudo Kansaiben.
I already want to gone home.
This place is another world, if a teacher exhibit violence will it be considered a corporal punishment?
In front of me are 5 human children.
This is a gathering of problem children.
Alias, S class. A special class that is composed only by World Travelers.
Yuuki sheltered the children from every corner of the world.
They are still kid of elementary grade student, but their abilities is terrifying high.
Honestly, he is toying with me.
I thought they were docile, But towards me they are staring with their eyes full with hostility.
For three months after this, can I take care of these guys.....?
The depressing feeling from a long time ago is coming back.
----------------------------------------------------------------

A man is stabbed by a robber on the run after pushing his coworker and his coworker’s new fiance out of the way. As he lays dying, bleeding on the ground, he hears a voice. This voice is strange and interprets his dying regret of being a virgin by giving him the [Great Sage] unique skill! Is he being made fun of ?!

After Mia left, Jaclyn looked at John and revealed a cheeky smile. "You like her, don't you?" she asked nosily. 
Women generally liked the idea of romance and love, hence why so many books, movies, and TV shows were based on that genre. So, the scene in front of Jaclyn was like a real-life romance for her. John was like a hero, saving his damsel without asking anything back in return; secretly watching over her and admiring her. This was the type of male lead that everyone woman wanted. Most importantly, he was technically a doctor...and a CEO of his own clinic...
Was he cold and dominating as well?
The man smiled at Jaclyn warmly and replied, "We're just friends."
Jaclyn shook her head and sighed. Nope, he wasn't cold and dominating. He was the type of guy that friend-zoned himself. What a shame.
"Don't worry, I'll help you get out of the friend zone," Jaclyn offered.
John looked at Jaclyn and sighed. What was she thinking? He honestly treated Mia as a friend - nothing else. But, if trying to matchmake him with Mia took Jaclyn's mind off her addiction, then he didn't mind playing along.
"How do you plan on doing that?" he asked.
"I need to teach you a few tricks that always work on women." Jaclyn stood up, placed her hands behind her back and started pacing the room like an expert. She had watched her fair share of Korean dramas; she knew what she was talking about, right?
Wrong! Jaclyn actually had no real-life experience with relationships. After all, real-life never compared to the dramas that she watched. She had gone on many dates, but she had yet to find the perfect man. However, she didn't realize that the perfect man did not exist because she had set unrealistic standards.
"Trick #1: the back-hug!" Jaclyn started. "It's when a man approaches a woman from behind and hugs her. It feels safe and domineering at the same time. You need to try it on Mia, even if it's an indirect hug like reaching for something from behind her, it's going to get those butterflies going..."
John nodded his head with amusement. How was that romantic? It sounded completely creepy to him. Like something that a stalker would do.
"Trick #2: kabedon!" Jaclyn smiled excitedly.
John looked at the woman with confusion. "Kabedon?" he asked. It sounded like some weird fetish or kinky sex position. Was she about to suggest he commit a crime?
"Yes, kabedon. It's a Japanese term that literally means hitting a wall," Jaclyn explained.
John raised an eyebrow as he imagined himself randomly hitting a wall in front of Mia and Mia cheering for him. Was this a show of strength in Asia? He didn't get it.
Jaclyn saw the confusion on John's face and further explained, "In the world of romance, it's when a man pins a woman to the wall. It's both impulsive and sexy!"
John nodded even though he didn't actually agree. If he did something like that, Mia would probably file a restraining order against him!
"Trick #3!" Jaclyn announced proudly when she noticed the man was seriously listening to her.
John stared into Jaclyn's eyes. The first two tricks were already enough to throw him in jail, what other suggestions did she have?
"The forced kiss!"
John sighed on the inside. This did not sound good. 
"While she is talking or not expecting it, suddenly lean over and kiss her on the lips. If she tries to push you away, wrap your arms around her and pull her closer until she gives up," Jaclyn said with a dreamy look in her eyes.
John's eyes opened wide in shock. Was this woman's dream guy a pervert?
"If those three don't work, I have some optional tricks," Jaclyn continued.
"You have optional tricks too?" John asked in surprise.
Jaclyn nodded. "For example, you could tie her shoelace when it's undone, grab her hand when she's crossing the road, wipe away her tears when she cries, lean her head on your shoulder when she's tired, buy her medicine when she's sick..."
John shook her head. This woman was living in a fantasy...
...
After an amazing morning at Neuschwanstein Castle, Halia and Jackson returned to the city center of Munich, just in time for lunch.
Ernst dropped the couple at a famous garden and ended his services there.
"Thank you for taking good care of us this morning," Halia said as she shook the middle-aged man's hand.
"It was my pleasure," the man said as he tipped his hat and returned to his white Mercedes. "I wish you a long and loving marriage," he smiled before he left.
After the white Mercedes disappeared around a corner, Jackson held onto Halia's hand and started leading her into the garden.
"I specifically asked Ernst to drop us off here because I heard these gardens are beautiful in spring," he said.
They were at the English Garden in Munich, one of the largest urban parks in the world and it was free to the public.
As Halia and Jackson strolled through the garden, they admired the lush green trees and the colorful blooming flowers. For a public park, it was extremely well maintained. Every hedge was pruned and manicured, and every flower received the perfect amount of water to flourish. There were even ducks and swans in the pond in the middle.
"I really like it here," Halia said as she took in a deep breath of fresh spring air.
"I really like you," Jackson replied dotingly.
Halia pinched the man on the nose and placed a kiss on his lips. From the moment they had first met, this was pretty much their first official date. 
"Are you hungry?" he suddenly asked as they reached the middle of the garden.
Halia nodded her head as she checked the time. She had been having so much fun that she didn't even realize it was already 1pm. 
But, they were in the middle of a huge park, where were they to find food? Did they have to walk all the way back out again?
Jackson smiled as he looked at a sign that said Chinese Tower and started following in the direction that it was pointing.
Halia furrowed her brows in confusion, why were they going to a Chinese Tower? Weren't they from China? Why did they go halfway around the world to look at something that they had plenty of at home? Most importantly, weren't they getting food?
But, just as Halia thought this, the tower came into view and she realized what was happening. 
Around the tower were rows and rows of tables and right under the tower was a live traditional German band. Next to the tables were a few stores selling beer and food including pork knuckle and all different kinds of German sausages.
Halia smiled with excitement as her stomach grumbled.
It was a traditional beer garden!


The first time they met, she was a clueless nurse at the hospital...
The second time they met, she was a bartender at his favorite bar...
The third time they met, she was his brother's love interest...
He didn't know what she'd be the fourth time they met, but he had to make her his wife...
---
Halia was a simple cadet when she was suddenly asked to be the subject of a new secret government technology that gave her access to the memories and knowledge of other people.
With this technology, she manages to hunt down a serial killer and befriend a gangster. 
But, what other dangers will it attract?

"No, sir. I hate potatoes. I totally hate potatoes."
Tohru James blinked several times at Yanee's bland answer accompanied by an equally bland expression and threw back his head and laughed. What a silly girl!
He didn't mind it at all, though. Instead, a mischievous glint shone in his eyes.
"Then shouldn't you have ordered something else?" he suggested as he raised a hand to call forth the waiter, but Yanee stopped him.
"It's alright," she said hurriedly as she semi-dove onto the table so she could touch his arm to stop him from calling staff.
Tohru looked at the hands anchored on his arm and his face lifted in amusement.  
"Er… I-I-I…" she stuttered before her voice trailed off as she realized what she'd done.
He watched as Yanee turned scarlet like a ripe tomato with her eyes wide and quickly let go of his hand as if burned. She returned to her seat looking annoyed which amused him further.
"You, what? You don't want to order something else?" he prompted and she shook her head. "And then?"
"I'm on a diet. But I forgot," she said afterwards through gritted teeth and he now understood why she was so upset with eating some potatoes.
Tohru had ordered salad earlier before she arrived, and so, when the food came, he immediately switched their plates.
"Er…boss? It's not a potato," she said as she stared at the variety of greens on her plate.
"It's not potato? Then heavens must have heard your silent prayer," he told her with a wink as he opened his plate and used his fork to start eating Yanee's dish.
Seeing that he's eating the potato dish she had ordered in her stead, her eyes widened before an emotion akin to sadness passed in them and was reflected by her small smile.
"Right. Heaven's heard that potato's bad for me," she commented enigmatically as she started eating her greens.
Tohru then wondered if he should have let her eat the potato instead. She had looked like someone who was reminded of something that's bad for them. Even if she was reluctant, she had chosen to let it go than try and fight him over for it.
And it really had nothing to do with potato…
He wondered what happened. But he didn't say anything as he was sure that he wouldn't get any answer from her anyway. Yanee, as he had surmised already from the beginning was like a wild deer: cautious – too cautious. She looked like someone who'd totally bolt towards the opposite direction when he showed his real intention.
It was why he was doing all these troubles in the first place. If she was more inclined to romance, it wouldn't be this complicated that he needed to rally his group of friends to help him out.
"So, boss, what are you doing here?" she asked.
Suspicion laced her voice, and he cleared his throat to try to make things more professional. He shrugged. "I received a call from one of the interviewees and he seems to be here in South Korea so I came."
Yanee frowned. "Wouldn't it be better to email me about it instead, boss? I mean if there are changes in the itinerary?"
Tohru grinned. Indeed, it's hard to trick this girl. But he had already prepared an answer to that. He couldn't tell her the real reason after all. If he told Yanee that it was because of his brothers' long-distance PDA with their wives that he felt like seeing her too, she would be shocked.
And he'd receive a resignation letter the next day.
"Well, that'll work if he doesn't mind not seeing me," he excused with a nonchalant shrugged. He then inclined his head as he looked at her seriously. "This project, do you honestly believe that I would normally take it?"
With his question, he watched her looked thoughtful as if she was earnestly considering the answer. Afterwards, she looked surprised as she realized something.
"Actually… no," she answered truthfully.  
True enough, Tohru James was a gold editor, but he had never taken a project with a romance theme before. Most of his works were books with serious themes such as non-fiction, then for fiction, mystery, and fantasy.
"Right. It's a first and my last romance themed project," he told her matter-of-factly. "This is also an experiment on the management's side. However, the participants of this project are all prominent people, as you've known by now. Even if I'd rather wait for my kimchi back at the office, I have to show my face when summoned. That's business."
He bluffed with a poker face. In reality, he had tagged along Jinho Kang in his private jet along with the rest of his brothers after he experienced their severe teasing. It was a good thing that Japanese citizens didn't need to secure a visa first hand. He could fly immediately when he suddenly decided he'd like to see Yanee.
So, he came here yesterday but didn't show his face even if he could have gone with Jinho to his house. He behaved and waited, but Yanee woke up late. He nearly went to her room to drag her out.
"I see…"Yanee nodded slowly after contemplating for a few minutes. "Are you going to attend some event here then boss?"
At the question, Tohru was surprised.
Event? Like a Party?
He hadn't thought about that, but it seemed to be a very good idea. His big sisters were nagging him as they couldn't wait for their turn to meet Yanee. Since all of them flew here, they'd be thrilled to have a chance to see her in advance.
"Y-yeah," he lied.  Of course, there's no such thing.
"I actually came because there's a small gathering for the people involved in the book, and they asked the editor and the writer to be there," he continued as he hid his hands under the table to secretly send a message to Jisoo.
[Big sis, could you arrange a small gathering with everyone later? I told Yanee we have a small party for the project tonight.]
"Really?" Yanee asked, and a worried frown marred her brow.
"Is there anything wrong?" he asked her. He wondered why she looked stressed.
"What kind of party is that boss? I didn't bring any clothes with me aside from my business suits," she said.
"Oh? Don't worry then, I got that covered," he told her reassuringly. "We'll go shopping after we eat."
"Eh? But boss –"she protested but he cut her off with a wave of his hand.
"No buts. Concern like this one is not a problem at all. We don't want to offend our clients. It's a necessary company expense, so the company will pay for it." Tohru of course wouldn't tell her yet that HE was the company, and he's happy to have a reason to buy her clothes.  


An Office Romance Anthology...

Yanee Lee was a budding lifestyle writer. She was always aiming to become the best in her chosen field. Sadly, a brutal take over in the publishing company happened just as she was about to get it big. 

Worse, she found her dream job snatched away from under her nose, and she was transferred to the novel department with an ultimatum handed out by the new cold-hearted Editor-in-Chief: Write an anthology of work-related romance that would sell or get out!

With the help of her friends and family, Yanee would go on an adventure to research about the best stories for her series: The Office Diaries. 

Join Yanee as she interviews many different people, and learn about different tales of love and life. 

Who knew, through this, she would also find her own love story in the form of her irritating boss, the Editor-in-Chief who gave her the ultimatum, Tohru James?


update schedule: 2-5 chapters/week
 Thank you for your patience.

2 weeks from our first reunion we were once again reunited. But now we are in our headquarters!

A week ago I found that a couple who lived 3 blocks from our house would be going back to their hometown and was selling their house. Their house was medium size and had 2 floors and a basement, was sufficient for now to serve as the HQ. Making a slight reform so that it looked more professional, our HQ was ready by the end of the same week we bought.

Right now we are in the meeting room. It contains a large glass table for 30 people. The chairs we were sit were similar to those I could see in offices in my past life, but instead of steel that doesn't exist here, I opted for a very light and durable wood.

Besides the 12 people present in the last meeting, Mary is also here.
 
She changed from being personal maid to personal assistant. Now besides all the work she done as a personal maid, she also helps me with some business issues and accounts. I should probably raise her salary.

Note to self: raise Mary paycheck and feed her with chocolate cake.

"Okay guys. I have the name of our Conglomerate. Will be Imperium Pacem. IP for short. Our symbol will be the lilium flower, so the emblems will be a lilium with IP engraved in the front. Here is the design, what you guys think?"

I showed them one of the emblems that I already ordered to be made. Is a small lilium flower painted in black with IP in golden on the center.

"Can we customize ours?"

"Sure. But only managers have this privilege"

"What material will the emblems be made of?"

"Depends on the emblem, besides the platinum all the other will be made of iron and be painted. The platinum will be made of silver and some other precious material to get the platinum color"

Putting the emblem in Mary's hand I urged them to begin their report.

"Okay, Group 1 your report"

Liam got up from his chair. They always leave the responsibility to him when they can, such a bad habit.

"All things for the cafe are ready. For the beauty and fashion products only half of the products commissioned are ready. Iris and Sarah got 40 and 50 persons respectively to work under their command either on the line of production or serving the client. We already assembled the security crew. The Royal Bank agreed with our proposal, they will have 3% of the fees. We will start the employees training next week. Also the building is 3/4 done, we are only waiting for the glass work to be delivered and installed, so that we can cleanup and put the decorations. It should be done by next week. We can open 2 weeks from now"

"Good job! I never thought you will manage to get this many people"

"Is all thanks to the benefits offered by Miss. Like sick leave, pregnancy leave, annual holiday and the black membership, we actually had so many applicants that we had to filter the best ones"

Right, people here don't have the leave policy. If you miss a day of work is either discount on your paycheck or you will be dismissed.

"Group 2"

Scratching his head in embarrassment Daniel got up and delivered me a list a dossier.

"Hi! Here is the list of the employees we got... most of the people are from Spero though. We have preliminary menus, Sophie will be more focused on meat dishes while I will be more focused on pastas. We will charge 70 copper coins at lunch and 84 copper coins at dinner. We also found better to charge the drinks apart"

"I'm sure that 80% of our employees will be from Spero Dani. It makes sense to charge them apart. How is the restaurant reform?"

"Is already done, we actually can still open this week"

"Really? So, we will make a week of promotion, something like the first 10 customers each day don't need to pay. Think of something, you can open the day after tomorrow. Reserve one of the rooms for my family please"

"All five of you?"

"Although I don't know if Niisama will go, sure, for 5. I'll be going at lunch and spend the day there with you, but they'll only go for dinner"

"Understood"

"What about Group 3?"

"We will charge 1 silver per kilo. Here is how we calculated. We chose to experiment 4 types of weekly menu in the first month, the favorite ones will be chosen to the final weekly menu. We also thought it would be nice if each day we serve a chef's specialty. They would have smaller portions than the other servings. Also we thought that every time you got a kilo, you would gain a free cup with juice"

"Well, I like your idea, but 1 silver is too much. Put at 90 coppers, although we will not gain much in a short term it will prove to be better in the long run. How is the reform?"

"The room for the food and the kitchen are not ready yet. We need a week to open."

"Okay, you can sit. Do the same procedure as Dani and Sophie, make some kind of promotion in the first week to attract customers. Report when you will open and reserve a room for my family"

"Yes Miss"

"What about Group 4?"

My English tea room. Although I love the Japanese one, because the English one pass an aristocratic air that matches this country, most of the people chose it. It will have 4 private rooms, a room for the nobles that will have some couches and small table, a room for the noblewomen with the same design as the previous room and some books (most romance ones), a room for the nobleman that will have books and a place for smoking, the room for commoners that is exactly the same as the nobles+books, and the room that is a common area.

I know segregation is bad, but here the nobles have a very high sense of superiority. And I am not strong enough to fight this yet.

Because I wanted many rooms was kind of hard to find a building, but we eventually found a small mansion in the central area of the city. Luckily the mansion had a huge garden, so we opted to have some tables with a decorated parasol in some parts of the garden.

"Here is the employee list, since all of them are from Spero, they know the tea etiquette, so we don't need to worry about training them. We already bought the books and the tea sets are already done. Because the mansion was in good condition we did not have to do much. It can open this week too. We also found a that the garden has a part that could serve as place to showcase poems, songs or having literature discussions. We thought it would be interest if every week we promoted some type of literary event, what you think Miss?"

"I think that is great idea! I will send invitations for the nobles for two days from now. So the 'Fame ' will only open 4 days from now ok? Great work guys! You are all dismissed. Don't forget to get your money with Sebastian! See you guys later!"

I can't believe that my conglomerate will finally be created!

After being reincarnated into a world of otome game as a villainess character, I fell in the routine situation of death flags+broke engagement.

The prince doesn’t want me? Please, who will want a Scum Prince as a husband? I don’t. Let’s break this engagement and with my knowledge from the previous life, I will aim for a peaceful life!
