The castle is not that complex, a hall room with two stairs to the second floor. Even if I say the hall room, they seem to use it as a dining room if they didn't arrange a party. In the backyard, there is a garden and a fountain. The right section is barrack and weapon storage. The left section is the Library. In the front of castle, near the gate is a garden with square bushes wall. The second floor is the room for the governor and his family and their own maid. The last is the third floor where our room there. The third room is separated by spiral stairs to our room. From here, we can see exactly what happens outside town from the square-shaped hole. I think they call it window in here but, I usually see window with glass so that's a bit uneasy to call it window.
My sister sits on the bed while I am walking around in the cycle thinking about the script that the system wants.
"Rather than walk around with no purpose, why don't you sit beside me and conclude what you know right now?" Say my sister give me a suggestion.
I agree with her and sit beside her.
"Emily, could you tell me the difference of me?" Say me curious if she sees the same thing as this city resident.
"Not really, I just see my humble brother beside me. Why you ask?" Say my sister curious.
"They seem to see me as a tyrant or someone who is scarier than a monster. Sigh*" Say me while relaxing my body.
"I don't really know what the difference is. Can you just go to some agency that tells you some information?" Say my sister.
It seems, she exactly understands what happened and what to do next. Seeing this as a brother made me proud.
"At times like this, the fantasy world usually has an agency called adventurer guild." Say me while explaining the rest of why in fantasy world usually has an adventurer guild. In short, I just tell her that I see it usually in fantasy games.
"If that's your point, can you leave it to me?" Say my sister give me a suggestion.
"Huh?" I am confused.
"You know that you are some-like prince now. We don't know where you live. Maybe you are a prince from far faraway kingdom? Or you are the prince from tyrant duke? Or you are just a self-proclaimed prince because of usurpation of the throne? There are more than that reason." Say my sister after laying her body on the bed.
"You say that, I have a chance to get exposed?" Say me conclude what she is trying to say.
"Correct, you need some assistance." Say my sister smirking at me.
"You forget something, you are already famous because I carried you before to go inside the town without checking the procedure." Say me.
Yawn* I didn't have much sleep time after that festival before. I am really tired of becoming hero at that moment.
"You look tired, that's why! Leave it to me!" Say my sister after sitting up on the bed and smiling at me.
"Your very humble brother can't let you do that." Say me while drowsy.
"Why?!" Say my sister annoyed.
"Sigh* Your brain is brilliant but, you lack of experience." Say me.
"Hmpfh!! Then just let be it." Say my sister after laying her body on bed and covering her face with a pillow on there.
What I am trying to say is, this world is in another world. They have different logic in our world. That logic is natural selection. If you are weak then that's your problem for becoming weak. Now, you are weak and I am tired enough to protect you. They still have slave logic that I can't let that happen. In WEO, if you fail because bad ending, the player will be kicked out by the Raid Area itself and can't enter it for an unlimited time. In short, the player gets banned from entering that Raid Area again. Now, it become a reality. What if we get a bad ending and we are trapped in this world and become part of system? I don't really want to let that happen. Not in my life. At least, If I should die, I want to die in a heroic way not in a careless way. Before what I thought gets proven, I don't want to take a chance that can make one of us die.
I lay my body beside my sister and sleep.
About some moment...
I wake up, I see my sister still beside me snoring. Like brother like sister huh? We can just sleep all the time we want. Whenever, wherever. I try to stand up and she wakes up from her sleep.
"Good evening, brother." Say her while still in a drowsy state and rubbed her eye.
"I will ask the governor where is the bathroom." Say me after standing up from bed.
"Then... Yawn* I will follow you." Say my sister.
She stands up and grabs my hand. This is the habit she has. I don't know why she gets more clingy to me while in a drowsy state.
We search for governor on the first floor. I see her wife and she bows down to me.
"Can you tell me where is your husband?" Say me with an evil stare (normal stare).
"My humble husband is in the Library." Say the governor's wife while trembling.
We go to the library and open it. The governor surprised. It seems that he usually heard a knocking sound before someone could enter while he was in a working state.
"Are there any problem your highness?" Ask him while trembling with a smile.
"Yeah, there is no bathroom here." Say me with a menacing aura (ask him gently).
"Pardon my bad house, we can't even afford what you need... P-please, spare my life." Say him starts to tremble inside.
"Don't have time to do that, just show me the bath in this town." Say me, still in a menacing aura (a bit uneasy with his reaction).
"Y-yes!!"
The governor trembling with fear. He stands up from his seat and goes to the second floor. We are waiting inside the library, reading a book or something that came to my mind. My sister finds the book she wants to read but, I am just wandering around inside the library. I hope that I find some clues to this script story.
"This is the map of this town." Say the governor after taking a deep breath. He looks tired from doing it.
I smirking. Somehow, the governor looks more trembling than before. I take the map and open it in front of him.
"Hey you, don't waste your time and come with me." Say me while looking behind holding the map.
My sister was surprised and accidentally dropped the book she was reading.
"O-okay" Say her while his head looking to the ground. After that, she is walking to me.
I roll the map and bring it with me. We walk together to with this map instruction.
"Oh yeah, one thing. Can you tell me the name of this town?" Ask me.
The governor looks confused.
"#$%^"
What did he say? That sound, the sound like game glitching. What's going on? Even my sister looked scared about it. I don't know how to react to it. I just leave it and go with my sister.
That confirms all my thoughts. This is not a large script world story. The story is not involved with small details to start with it. The more impact it has, the more wide the story goes on. Still, this world does not reveal the "where" question of the story and just leaves it behind. A good story must contain an answer for the question "Who, when, where, what, why, and how." but, this story does not contain one of it.
In my heart, I feel relieved. At the same time, I feel worried about it. How about that just the minus and the plus be added to the other question? I think that if the "where" is unknown then the "who, when, what, why, and how." is more complicated. How about it a more complicated thing than I thought like "This is an update that we WEO players didn't know?" How about there are some people who are involved with this? Many thoughts come together in my mind as I walk on the street in the town.
Suddenly, my sister grabs my hand.
"You look terrible, brother."
She seems worried about me looking from her face.
"S-sorry to make you feel worry. It just, my brain is in prime function now not like before."
I mention the last journey. That's the journey really torturing my brain. That was the first time that my brain was completely numb and couldn't think of anything.
"Don't worry, you can talk to me like you used to be." Say my sister with sincerity.
I feel relieved. I was almost lost in my thoughts. Rega, just think what you should think. That's for escape from this tower.
From the map, after this crossroad, after I walk from the castle, we go to the right. After we see a church then we turn left. After that, we see a word like a uh... I even don't know what was written on that plank. We see a big house with a plank in front of the roof. The map tells us that this place is the bath house according to the picture on the map. It is still pictured as bathtub but, I doubt that in this world has discovered a bathtub.
...
It really had. I open up the entrance to a bathroom and see exactly in front of me a modern bathup. Is the author of this story a lazy person?
"Hah... Nevermind."
I just go into the bathtub and bathe. Why of this story like a slice of life? I think this is maybe a gore, dramatic, twisted story like in the game. Maybe just because the Ragnarok is still in the early stages?
.....
In the castle....
"How about the bloody prince?"
The governor says to someone behind him while sitting inside the library.
"It seems that prince still does nothing."
The woman who seems the governor's wife, walks to the governor and sits up on his work table.
"That's weird... The news says that if the bloody prince comes to town the town will be in a dangerous state." Say the governor.
"I think he knows something behind this town." Say the wife wondering.
"Something behind? Even me who governor in this town not know of that?" Say the governor calmly.
"We just can hope that the prince does nothing to this town." Say the wife while going down from the table with a pale face.
"Yeah, I hope nothing happens..." Say the Governor with a pale face.
