“… … Give me some time to think about it.”

“I am not used to waiting. I want to think hard about it.”

I caught my breath And I thought about a funny story.

‘Almost all the interesting stories I knew in real life don’t match the background. I don’t know anything interesting about this world.’

If I had known it would be like this, I would have asked Katyusa to say something when I was bored. I don’t think Katyusha’s story would be very interesting.

‘It’s not some kind of Thousand and One Nights… … .’

But again, it shouldn’t be too much fun. I will forever become a storyteller.

‘Even if the standard is arbitrary, it’s too arbitrary.’

It’s so frustrating. I don’t know if he had any thoughts of sending it in the first place.

‘What am I supposed to talk about? My favorite stories are original at best… … ?’

I realized one thing belatedly. It was dark under the lamp.

There is one story I know best. And if that’s the story——.

You can create a new standard that can get out of here.

“Are your worries over? I want to hear something soon.”

“You say you’re used to it, but you won’t wait for long.”

“It’s because I’m tired of waiting too long.”

The witch giggled and stared at me. After taking a breath, I faced the witch.

“How would you feel if this world were a story?”

And the story of the original, ‘Iron Blood Revolution’ began.

“Hmm. indeed. Quite interesting.”

The witch showed some interest in my story. I’m not very good at telling stories, but since the story itself is based on this world, I was able to draw at least some interest.

“Go on. So what happened to the Revolutionary Army?”

But it wasn’t that much of a fun attitude.

Can not help it. No matter how well-made a novel or cartoon is, it is not easy to convey the fun of it once you begin to explain it in words. If that had worked, there wouldn’t have been plays or operas.

‘Well, it’s ambiguous if it’s a novel that the iron-blooded revolution made so well. Although I like it.’

However, this reaction was all expected. Rather, it is difficult to have fun in this story.

“… … And so, the Revolutionary Army obtained Iron Blood. There was still a lot of unfinished business, but they won in the end.”

how long did it take I worked hard for a long time to finish the original story. The witch said yes, and nodded as if she had heard it.

“You mean it’s a story based on reality? Pretty impressive. There were loopholes here and there, though.”

“It was a story, it was real. You don’t seem to understand it very well.”

“If you came up with it on the spot, praise it. But it feels like an interesting story, nothing more.”

It was exciting, so even after interrogating her to speak up, the witch shamelessly came out. It is clear that there was no intention of releasing it in the first place.

“The story isn’t over yet.”

But it was all within my assumptions. It’s all according to plan.

“The story has just begun. Centered on the tragic man who died, Prince Mikhail.”

I started my story.

The story that started from the point of possession continued from the first social debut, the meeting with the emperor and the corps commander, bringing Mustafa, the request for the weapon entrusted to the Azmash Workshop, and the confrontation with Nezawa. The witch showed interest and listened intently to my story.

It may be because my explanation got better because I experienced it myself, but it was because I had enough prior knowledge after hearing the original work that would be the basis for it, so the quickness of understanding was a big virtue.

“So Mikhail went to study at the Knights Academy. To find out what happened to Eugene and to gain support for herself.”

“Mikhail’s obsession with Eugene is a little off-putting. Are you even in love?”

“That never is. do not assert definitely not He is a man who was the head of the Revolutionary Army, so he is just very wary.”

“I think it would be fun to be in love.”

“no! … … hmm. continue.”

The stage of the story changed to the knight academy, clearly denying the witch’s unreasonable question. After talking about Eugene, who has a different personality than before, and the lazy Bernadetta, the stage moves to the first mission.

“In a place called the Witch’s Forest, the party fights Lenny, who was a Sangvis lieutenant in the original work, but was actually a subordinate of Parabellum. With everyone’s cooperation, we succeeded in exterminating him, but that wasn’t the end.”

“Hmm. I have a feeling of deja vu. I think I saw it in a dream. So what happens after that?”

When I suddenly stopped talking, the witch quickly questioned me.

“I don’t know.”

I answered briefly. As if to say something, the witch’s expression frowned.

“Because the main character of the story is now trapped here.”

“huh?”

And it made a stupid noise. It was so fierce that the old man’s way of speaking until now seemed ridiculous.

“… … Are you Mikhail, the Crown Prince?”

“I didn’t introduce myself, but I guess you didn’t know until now? I thought you knew and followed me.”

“I just stretched out and without thinking, targeted the guy with the most magic power. hmm… … .”

Perhaps the uproar had been stretched, the witch stroked her chin in front of me who was dumbfounded and fell into thought.

“So, you are Prince Mikhail, the main character of the story, right?”

And pointed at me and asked.

“yes.”

I just snapped my fingers and agreed.

“So unless you free me, there is no other part of this story.”

And clearly declared. Checkmate with this.

“… … indeed.”

The silent witch lowered her head and murmured softly.

“Huhu, indeed, indeed… … indeed!”

And they laughed and clapped as if they were very happy. It was a pretty reckless act to be called the ancestor of the elves.

“Ha ha, whoa… … . You had fun with your hair!”

The witch, who laughed for a while and sighed, tapped me on the shoulder.

“I never thought I would tell you a story that makes you want to know the back. If you don’t get them out of here, you won’t be able to find out!”

A story you want to know.

This is the new standard for getting out of here that I created.

And just as my story was in full swing.

“If the story from a while ago was your normal life, honestly, it wouldn’t have been good. I wouldn’t be too curious.”

As the witch said, if I had just started telling my story, I wouldn’t have gotten this kind of reaction.

“But since you told me the story of the previous world, I’m curious.”

If you know the story of the original story, it’s different.

“How the story will flow, and what kind of end you will meet.”

When there is an affair to compare and compare, the story becomes more interesting. It is in line with the reason why alternative history works, secondary creations, and fan fiction are prosperous.

“Whoops… … . If this is the case, I will have no choice but to release it. I’m curious about the back part.”

“please. Not a bad time, but I have a lot to do.”

Fortunately, it worked. I sighed in relief and asked. The witch who was smiling contentedly tapped me on the shoulder.

“okay. Then I will follow you.”

“… … huh?”

And he said something incomprehensible. Relieved, I asked back dumbfounded.

“Wait, aren’t you letting me go?”

“Release. I just follow.”

“… … Didn’t I say it was impossible to get out or break the seal? Is that possible?”

“There are risks, but not impossible.”

The witch rose from her chair.

“If you throw away many things, you can come out of this forest. Magical power, lifespan, and other things.”

Then he pushed the chair and knocked it over.

“If I let go of everything that was sealed and only possesses this body, I will be able to get out.”

“Only the body?”

“okay. Then you’ll be nothing more than a sickly elf girl with a lot of knowledge, but… … Much better than sleeping forever. Things like magic power and lifespan have no meaning to me in the first place, since I’m going to sleep anyway.”

The witch said with a wry smile. I pondered for a while.

“Then shouldn’t it have been like that from the beginning?”

“I was hesitating.”

The witch shook her head and answered.

“It was a waste to throw away beads that couldn’t even be threaded. You made me decide.”

“Was my story interesting enough to throw it all away?”

“Okay. I answer with an elven maxim. ‘How the immortal comes to love the mortal.’”

Before asking what kind of floating clouds I am talking about,

“I will follow you and happily watch your end.”

The witch grinned and stretched out her arms in front of my face. And my vision went white.

“… … !”

The sight that had been shining white gradually returned, and the scenery of the forest returned to my gaze. The tree trunk and hands that had been fiercely chasing just before entering the gap of time and space slowly turned and disappeared as if they had never happened.

“The attack… … Did you stop?”

Proud, who was slightly ahead of me, looked back and made an impression of disbelief. Then, spotting the witch standing in front of me, I got ready.

“Who are you! The forest witch!”

“okay. Oh, is that Proud? It’s definitely red hair. Does it actually look like this?”

“How come you know my name!”

because i told you everything I reached out my hand to tell Proud to calm down. Proud’s attitude softened a little, but he did not let go of his guard.

“Princess, are you okay?”

“are you okay. That’s a long explanation, but… … .”

How can I explain this? While I was thinking about choosing my words, the students who were ahead of me returned and surrounded the witch widely. I’m worried that something bothersome will happen if I stimulate it for nothing.

“you.”

The witch looked around. The vigilant students tensed up and refined their posture. It was an immediate situation, as if a fight would begin at any moment.

“I will follow you too.”

“… … what?”

Proud was the first to respond to the witch’s sudden declaration.

“are you okay. Calm down. I have no intention of interfering with your story. no ability to intervene. I am always a spectator.”

Shaking her head, the witch said. Proud stiffened his posture even more as if he could not understand.

“I got tired of just sleeping on this mountain with no one around.”

“What is your true intention?”

Hmmm, the witch tilted her head as if she was having fun. I had a feeling that things would get boring.

“Proud, just accept it in moderation. I’ll vouch for it. Anyway, it is impossible to defeat this witch with all our strength.”

“But even so, this woman is a witch of the forest, you never know what kind of trouble she will bring.”

“Truth. spirit. That’s what Jin said.”

“Okay. I’ll do anything… … .”

“If I had to say, can I say that I fell in love with this guy at first sight?”

After I stopped talking, the witch poked my breast with her finger and said,

Silence hung over the forest. The wind blew and the leaves fluttered.

“… … Did you fall for the prince?”

Proud recalled the witch’s words with a frown on his face.

“… … .”

And after a moment of silence,

“Then I can’t help it.”

lifted the borderline. He also signaled to the students to loosen their guard.

“What is the criterion for understanding, Proud?”

I couldn’t bear it without asking.
