Side Story 3
The family’s concern about a significant event is evident in their weary expressions.
And even a quest.
With a rigid expression, I stared at the notification window before me.
‘What on earth is going on?’
Crack—.
A cracking sound seemed to echo from the distance.
The sound of peace, which had become a daily routine, shattering.
〈I can’t just stand by and watch!(1)〉
Indeed, even the quest name was ominous.
I swallowed hard and quickly read the quest details.
Dear Reader!
I’m so frustrated I could die! How can you come all the way to a resort alone and not make history?!
……Huh?
HOT summer sun!
Dizzyingly blue sea!
Clothes that have become thinner!
Even getting wet with salty seawater!!!
My face began to feel salty.
Regardless, the quest details continued.
But what is this!
You’re a romance fantasy reader who has thoroughly explored not only 15+ novels but even 19+ novels!!
This lukewarm attitude is not like a romance fantasy reader!
If you’re a romance fantasy reader, you should be hot, huh? Just, uh?!
Disappointed!
Zero stars!!!
‘This one is really…….’
Giving me a quest after 3 years and saying such useless things.
‘Does she really have nothing else to do?’
No matter how I think about it, the Reader is the problem.
You are the contractor of this Aphtha-ness [a state of being deeply immersed in romance] and have absolutely no qualities of a romance fantasy reader!
Is it because you’ve been single since birth?
You were like that in your past life, and nothing has changed even after a long time.
‘No, how much did I suffer in my past life!’
Would I have had time to date!
And there were no handsome men like Sid around me!
I’m not talking about that past life.
I’m talking about the time when you first formed a relationship with Sid.
Even in ancient times, you were so obviously single, making everyone frustrated!
‘Is this guy……?’
My eyes twitched.
‘Did you eat popcorn while watching Sid and me in ancient times like we were a romance fantasy?!’
You have to do something to eat popcorn!
You’re like this even when you come on a trip now, so would it have been any different back then?
It’s not for nothing that Aphtha-ness referred to romance fantasy.
She was a real romance fanatic.
Truly.
‘But…… why am I so uneasy?’
Surely it’s not a quest to play around with Sid in a steamy way.
Saying I’ve been eating sweet potatoes [experiencing frustrating situations] for 3 years…….
‘I really don’t like it.’
I really didn’t want to check the next content.
But anyway, I had to read the quest to the end.
Isn’t it because the Reader is too satisfied with reality?
I’ve come to give tension to the Reader’s loosened life!
She’s here, she’s here!
She’s here to fix the discipline of this world!
“……?”
A dimension traveler has appeared!
What?
Dear Reader!
One of your favorite recurring themes!
There are signs that a dimension traveler will appear in this world!
Whether this appearance will be a boon or a bane!
The result, as always, depends on the Reader.
First, find the dimension traveler!
“……!”
Thump!
For the first time in a while, my heart as a romance fantasy reader was pounding.
‘A dimension traveler, that’s amazing!’
I was so excited and thrilled.
Wasn’t a dimension traveler someone who swept through the romance fantasy world even before regression and possession became popular!
‘It’s not for nothing that the term “otherworlder high schooler wreaks havoc” was coined.’
A high school student who goes to another world and wreaks havoc!
Originally, elementary school students ride robots to save the Earth, and middle school students transform into magical girls to save the Earth—
‘Going to another world to save the world is for high school students!’
……It’s too reckless to expect, but the Saintess was fake and trash.
But there’s no guarantee that everyone is like Liliel!
-Condition: Find the dimension traveler
-Reward: 5000 Cash Gacha Ticket, proceed with linked quest 〈???〉
‘Of course, I have to do it!’
[You have accepted the quest.]
Good, good.
In addition, I didn’t accept the quest just because I wanted to see the dimension traveler.
Because—
‘—If I earn Cash, I can summon 19+ novels!’
During the final battle with Kiyas Edel.
I used up all the remaining Cash to summon the Celestial Race, the Demon Race, and the Spirit Beast.
After that, I couldn’t receive any new quests.
In other words, there was no place to earn Cash.
That means—
‘—Even though I’ve passed my 19th birthday, I haven’t been able to summon a 19+ novel even once!’
Hehehe, hehehehe!
Wait!
Borrowing the abilities of 19+ heroines that are more thrilling and dizzying than 15+, just, uh?
A sly fox who seduces and doesn’t do anything, uh?
Like this, like that, like this, uh?
“Lulu?”
Startled by the call, I raised my head.
My family was looking at me with puzzled faces.
“Why did Lulu-flower suddenly bloom?” [become unusually cheerful]
“As expected, my sister is happy to see me, right?”
“Huh? Oh, well. That’s right.”
I nodded vaguely.
I couldn’t say that I was happy thinking about 19+ things.
But my family’s shoulders shrugged up.
Why are they doing that?
Suddenly, I felt a piercing gaze from the side.
When I turned around, Sid was looking at me with a resentful face.
‘Ah, that’s right. It was supposed to be a trip for just the two of us, but it looks like I said I was happy that my family came.’
I felt sorry.
But.
‘Then why didn’t you just sleep last night!’
I even prepared for the trip (?) by diligently reviewing the 15+ novels I summoned!
Hmph!
* * *
Duke Paeraton asked his daughter.
“A dimension traveler?”
“Yes.”
Luatisha nodded, sipping a drink with plenty of crushed ice.
Ares put tropical fruit in his younger sister’s mouth.
Ixion put in other fruits, not wanting to be outdone.
Zeon was sticking close to her side, fanning her, and Marquis Tarenka was pushing a new drink towards her.
‘That scoundrel is subtly being pushed to the back.’
Duke Paeraton’s gaze turned to Sidrian.
Normally, his daughter would be dazed by that scoundrel’s fox-like behavior and take care of that robber more than her family.
But now…….
‘It’s an opportunity.’
‘It’s a chance.’
‘I don’t know why, but it’s good.’
The Paeraton men and Marquis Tarenka exchanged meaningful glances.
“So, why the dimension traveler?”
The fact that there was a human who crossed dimensions and worlds was absurd.
However, no one, including the family and Sidrian, questioned Luatisha’s words.
“I want to meet them.”
But everyone had to pause at those words.
“……Is it a man?”
Luatisha was flustered by Ixion’s words.
“A woman……I think?”
The sharply rising momentum quickly subsided.
Luatisha clicked her tongue inwardly.
‘If it’s a man, it’ll be a big problem.’
The problem was that Luatisha didn’t know the gender of the dimension traveler either.
‘But since she’s the one who created the world by referring to romance fantasy, she’s probably a woman.’
“But it’s not easy to find a dimension traveler in this vast continent.”
“This father has to grant what his daughter wants.”
“My sister is resting. I’ll find them for you.”
“You should fill up your cotton with cotton [prepare yourself]. Because this Ixion will catch them and bring them.”
“If I find them, stroke me [praise me].”
“Tarenka’s information is originally for my granddaughter.”
The family members opened their mouths, one after another.
It was rare for Luatisha to want something first.
‘I have to be loved!’
An opportunity arose to be loved by the youngest again after a long time.
Even now, Luatisha is sulking at Sidrian!
‘I have to let her know that we are more useful than that scoundrel!’
The five men made an alliance with burning desire.
On the other hand, Sidrian…….
‘I don’t want to find them.’
He looked at his master with dissatisfied eyes.
He didn’t want another new being to appear that Luatisha would care about.
Even if it was a woman.
‘……But she seems to be sulking.’
Uncharacteristic prickly thorns were rising on the soft Luatisha.
Only towards himself.
He knew why.
How could he not know?
‘Not knowing how much I’m holding back.’
I couldn’t sleep all night.
It felt like being tortured.
It was better when I was under the ban.
How hard was it to see Luatisha, who didn’t know how I felt, sulked and immediately covered herself with a blanket and slept?
The problem was that even that appearance was cute and lovely, so the pain was doubled.
‘Even if I don’t find them, other people will find them.’
Then it’s best to find them first and be loved.
‘Find them as quickly as possible, isolate the family, and resume the trip!’
Sidrian was determined.
Thus, a competition began with Luatisha as the host and Luatisha as the reward.

‘W, what on earth is this?!’
A red desert dominated by stuffy air.
There, a woman in clothes that didn’t suit the desert was running.
Monsters were following her in a line.
‘Is this real? Not like a hidden camera?’
I wanted to think positively, but it was impossible.
The heat of this hot desert can’t be created just by making it.
The woman ran desperately.
However, her feet, unfamiliar with the desert, were caught in the sand.
“Ah!”
The woman screamed and fell.
The monsters chuckled and approached.
They were treating their weak prey like a toy.
‘N, n, no…….’
She was just living the same ordinary life as always.
But why is she suddenly experiencing this?
‘What did I do wrong.’
Tears welled up.
The disgusting monsters drooled and threatened.
She wouldn’t even be a mouthful for them.
‘I don’t want to die!’
The woman squeezed her eyes shut.
Suddenly dying in the desert to monsters……!
‘S, someone, someone help me……!’
Even while thinking that, she had no hope that someone would really appear.
Because this was a world with only endless sand.
But.
Rustle—.
A sound that was too quiet and clean to be the sound of cutting flesh and bones.
Kkweeeeeeeeeeek!
And even a terrible scream.
It wasn’t her scream.
The woman gently opened her eyes.
Blood and flesh splattered.
A cruelly brutal sight.
It was the first time she had seen such a scene of slaughter.
But.
‘Wow…….’
None of those things came into view.
Even the fishy smell of blood was not felt.
‘How can he be so…….’
Blonde hair so brilliant that it seemed to block even the desert sunlight.
Mysterious purple eyes of light that she had never seen before.
Broad shoulders and tall height.
Solid frame and perfect proportions.
Even a painting wouldn’t be like this.
A man as beautiful as if he were not real was standing between ice pillars.
Even those clear ice pillars seemed to be shining to illuminate the man’s beauty.
At that moment, the woman realized.
Suddenly falling into a strange place and being attacked by monsters.
She was crying, asking why she had to suffer this.
‘I came here to meet that man……!’
She found the reason now.
