Another World: My life is on the hook!

"Is this the end?"

"If this is all there is to it, then it's a bit too hasty, isn't it?"

"Huh? How can you say that? This ending was carefully crafted! And after going through so much, it would be such a shame if the princess and prince couldn't be happy together."

"Well, that's true, but the reality is probably quite cruel... It's very possible that the princess will never see her prince, and the prince may never return. And after waiting for so long, won't her feelings change? What will she eat?"

At the table, a little girl with black hair was chewing on pastries on the quill pen table, her little hands flipping through the drafts she had just made with the quill pen, her big round eyes watching intently.

Completely ignoring the quill pen's puffed-up cheeks that were already fuming.

"And there's more..."

The little girl, as if she had discovered something again, innocently pointed her little finger at the contents of the draft.

"How come so many years have passed in the blink of an eye? Even a quill pen needs to be used carefully. There are so many things I could have written about in between, like when I was waiting, the little princess fell into a pit and broke her leg, or when I waited too long and suddenly turned evil, flying up to bravely fight the dragon!"

She jumped off the chair and swung her fists forward several times.

"Then the princess wreaked havoc in the dragon's lair! She punched the evil dragon and kicked its minions, rescuing the prince in a very cool way! Then she patted his head and said, 'You idiot! You've made a huge fool of yourself! In the end, it was indeed this princess who had to protect you!'"

After performing a set of military boxing, she put her hands on her hips, looking somewhat pleased with her quick wit.

"How about it? Quill pen! Isn't this ending better for Ben Zuo? The princess uprooting the willow tree not only highlights her bravery and strength, but also doesn't require waiting for him at all; it can be done with just one hand..."

boom--

After a few minutes.

Zuo Zuo covered her head with the bag on her face, looking like a little girl who had been cruelly abandoned.

……

……

"I really shouldn't bother the quill pen when I'm writing. It's so irritating and scary!"

Zuo Zuo stared wide-eyed, took a deep breath, and strode down the streets of Night City, clutching the large bags of pastries she had swiped from the quill pen.

But just as she was swaggering past a small alley, suddenly, a terrified, large tongue shot out from the alley at an incredibly fast speed, causing Zuo Zuo to spin almost 0 degrees, scattering pastries all over the ground with a loud "Wow!"

"Stop! Don't run!"

Just then, a cold voice came from behind her, and a familiar figure leaped past her in an instant.

But just as they passed each other, those eyes turned to her, and Zuo Zuo stared blankly at her.

"Brain?"

He had long hair and silver eyes, and wasn't much taller than her, but he was very handsome.

In an instant, the girl braked suddenly, and when she turned around, her eyes seemed to light up.

"queen?"

……

……

"So... what exactly happened? How could you just bully a big-tongued person like that...?"

Zuo Zuo stared wide-eyed, stretched out her arms in a righteous manner, and stood in front of the trembling big tongue, which continued to hiss and accuse.

After all, it's a bit unlike Brainy's personality to bump into Brainy and bully Big Tongue right after passing by.

The silver-eyed one stared silently at the large-tongued man behind her, clenching her fist and saying:

"Queen, don't worry about this. This is between me and it. If I don't beat it to a pulp today, I'll be letting down the Colossus community."

Zuo Zuo swallowed and said:

"Um...did it do something annoying? Although it does often neglect its duties, it certainly wouldn't commit any fundamental offenses, right? What exactly happened?"

The girl with silver eyes turned cold.

"Ask it."

The man with the lisp cried out urgently, "Hiss hiss hiss—"

"What do you mean?"

“A group of succubi hired it because they thought its tongue was flexible, and it did not refuse.”

"..."

"..."

"Fight! Fight!"

At the corner of the alley, Zuo Zuo, sleeves rolled up, angrily grabbed a small stool and, together with the silver-eyed girl, angrily surrounded the big tongue, punching and kicking it repeatedly, even swinging the stool to smash it against the tongue.

It tried to escape, but it was completely useless. Even after crawling a few meters, it was pulled back by the two little girls in an instant. Benches and bricks flew everywhere. The Black Night City that passed by just stared blankly at the scene before fleeing in a flash, not daring to get close at all.

After fighting for more than ten minutes, the silver-eyed girl finally stopped, clenching her fists and closing her eyes. She didn't look like she had just hit someone; she was aloof and reserved.

"I don't know who it learned to be bad from, but it's the worst of all the Colossi."

"He definitely didn't learn bad things from Cou Nao Tou; Cou Nao Tou's tongue isn't very nimble!"

Zuo Zuo rolled up her sleeves and earnestly chimed in.

"..."

Not far away, the tongue was already foaming at the mouth and unconscious.

Because it's just too difficult! Just too difficult!

It was just looking for a day job to earn some extra money. If it had known it would end up like this, it would have been better to go back to Youhun Lane, where it could at least eat and drink for free, instead of being subjected to the beatings and torture of family discipline here.

(ヾ????)——

Having finally dealt with the matter, the silver-eyed girl turned around, crossed her arms, and gently looked at her queen.

"So, it's been a long time, Your Majesty. I thought you'd been so busy enjoying your own time that you'd forgotten all about the people of Night City. Did that fellow come with you too?"

Zuo Zuo immediately chuckled, scratched the back of his head, and said:

"No, Zuo Zuo came alone. To be precise, she came to do some shopping. Youhun Lane has been really busy lately. When she has time, Zuo Zuo and Nao Tou will come to see everyone!"

But before she could finish speaking, the girl grabbed her wrist.

"There's no such thing as a future, come on! I'll take you to have fun! Everyone... really misses you all."

Her tone was gentle.

A brush sound.

Before Zuo Zuo could even react, the girl had already carried her soaring upwards into the sky.

"Wait... 0ДQ Wait a minute!!"

……

……

"Since the major construction last month, the gate between the main universe and Night City has finally been opened. You probably don't know this yet, but everyone has already started rebuilding their homeland."

"Of course, Sir Evan is as busy as ever among us. Although Night City is nominally still the Lord of the Matriarch, everyone unanimously elected Sir Evan as the steward of Night City, so of course he couldn't refuse. It was unanimous in favor and one against... Oh, right! Also, I recently entrusted the reconstruction of our Colossus homeworld to Sir Evan. With Evan's assistance, I estimate that it won't be long before I can show you our new homeland."

"Titan? Oh, still the same old story, always yelling about picking fights. I've given up on him. If he dares to cause me trouble, I just call his wife. Usually, a few minutes later, that guy will be dragged back by the ear. I've figured him out. He's sharp-tongued, but he's actually a useless henpecked husband. I no longer consider him a worthy opponent."

As she flew with her, she told her about the interesting things that had happened recently.

Zuo Zuo grabbed her hand and shouted, as they floated in mid-air, saying:

"What about the others?"

"The mistress has gone back to the Abyss! She hasn't been back to Night City for quite some time. I heard that the two groups of angels are discussing integration, but managing such a large group is still very troublesome. I heard that some want to be maids in the Abyss, while others want to be advisors in Night City. They're causing quite a stir, and the mistress has been overwhelmed for a long time."

"The captain and the others have also made their own lives. I always felt that he had something going on with the doll family, but I think it's hard to put a skeleton and a wooden stick together. But he has been gone for a long time. I heard that he is preparing to rebuild a world on the frontier of the main universe. I think he must be very busy now."

Zuo Zuo shouted:

"What about Miss Omnic? Did she go back too?"

The colossus carried her on the wind, rushing towards the main hall of the City of Night.

"When I last saw her, I heard that she was going to take her mechanical race back to rebuild the pastoral era, but for her, that would almost mean disintegration. She would probably split into many individual consciousnesses, so maybe when we see her again, she will no longer be the Goddess of Ten Thousand Princesses, but just an ordinary girl. I don't really understand what she's thinking."

"As for the others, the Mother Tree has most likely gone back to rebuild her natural world. Miss Azeroth should have returned to Earth. You should have seen the quill pen. She is no longer the Goddess of Fate and is now quietly writing in Night City. As for the situation in the Divine Kingdom, I don't know much about it."

next moment.

She landed with Zuo Zuo in front of the hall in the central square.

Then she smiled, took Zuo Zuo's bewildered little hand, and said:

"Come on, I know the Queen loves strong liquor, so after everyone left, I secretly dug a wine cellar under the palace. Don't tell anyone, okay? All of this is for the Queen. Aren't you happy?"

Zuo Zuo instantly (★?★), put her little hands in front of her chest, and forgot everything in an instant.

"Really...really? There really weren't any pesticides added to it? Like, secretly putting the wine with pesticides in the back of the cabinet, and then laughing at Zuo Zuo when she found it? Is there really no such thing?"

"Hmm...did this actually happen?"

"Yes, it happens frequently."

"What about the wine and food I gave you last time?"

"They've all sold their heads for a pittance! They've sold a lot! A huge amount!"

"Where's the money?"

"do not know."

"..."

The silver-eyed girl was speechless. Without a doubt, living with that guy wasn't a good thing, and yet her queen was still following him without hesitation. She really wondered if she had been severely manipulated and was now beyond help.

She walked helplessly toward the door of the council chamber.

"This time you absolutely must hide it secretly, and make sure no one else..."

creak-

The door opens.

But in the next moment, she stood there, feeling empty.

……

……

On the round table, wine bottles littered the floor. The self-bound angel sat solemnly in the main seat, his eyes filled with murderous intent. Not far away, the enormous Titan, who had regained his human form, gritted his teeth, while the anxious sorcerer god sat beside him, seemingly engaged in some kind of fierce confrontation.
