Chapter 2 “What are you doing? Let’s go.” “……” “Are you refusing?” Dedrick hesitated before getting up, knowing full well that refusal would only provoke a barrage of insults from him. I prepared to follow Dedrick out of the room as well. Though I couldn’t stay outside the wardrobe for long… ‘Still, I should be able to manage for about an hour, right?’ If there were wardrobes in the dining room, I could have traveled there directly and observed from inside.

- Chapter 1 “Ugh…” A faint groan slipped out from behind the wardrobe. As soon as I arrived at the wardrobe, I heard the sound and cautiously opened the door. Creeeak… Through the small gap, I saw a boy curled up and trembling. ‘That kid…’ Why is he here? As confusion swept over me, the faces of two boys, greedy and cruel, flashed through my mind.

Chapter 30 Clarisse Rosemore (2) Night seeped into the reception room that had gone days without a caretaker’s touch. Beneath the bluish moonlight that stretched like stage lighting.

Wh-what did you just say?” Serena had just heard a shocking truth. “I’m really sorry, Miss Serena.” When the two borrowed the car, she hadn’t expected to get it back anyway. The weak get devoured. That was the cold, harsh rule of the world. “H-how could it be totaled in just one day…” But she never imagined they’d scrap her precious car in just a day after she asked them to take good care of it. Using her imagination to predict what…

- Chapter 27 A Rose That Falls Gracefully (1) The process of alchemy activation is as follows. First, the caster uses their magic power to draw out the power of elements from the alchemy catalyst. The drawn elements pass through magic circuits and are constructed in a certain form—this refined power is called a ‘Code.’ For instance, even using the same Wind Feather, if you only use the ‘discharge’ code, it becomes ‘Calling Wind’ that raises strong winds. If you overlay two codes like…

- Chapter 26 The Undertaker (4) Britannia’s vehicles, powered by magic, were quite classic. Since the synchromesh performance was poor, he had to shift while double-clutching, and in that process, Jurgen stalled the car several times. Though he had a license in modern times, he had almost never directly driven a car since coming to this world. “Miss Penelope, are you really okay?” “I-I’m fine. I’m much more stable than you, aren’t I?” Because of that, Penelope was gripping the steering…

- Chapter 25 The Undertaker (3) Penelope, who had been receiving mirror therapy from Serena’s behavior that resembled her past self. However, she came to her senses and began directing traffic. They would meet frequently from now on, so they couldn’t let things be like this every time, could they? “Jurgen is my business partner. Show appropriate respect.” “B-but Mr. Jurgen is a c-commoner… This is directly related to Miss Penelope’s honor…” However, should he say she was strangely…

- Chapter 24 The Undertaker (2) With Penelope’s full cooperation, the Cola business truly caught a tailwind. They had made sufficient capital by selling Cola at high prices. Blyton had also been quiet recently, perhaps because the bluffing properly worked on him. Originally, business was something where momentum had to be seized at once. This meant it was time to prepare for the full-scale popularization of Cola. “Miss Penelope, what do you think we’ll need for popularization?” “Who are you…

- Chapter 23 The Undertaker (1) Penelope’s steps were as majestic as a triumphant general. “Good, well done. As expected of me.” Reviewing the day’s events, Penelope hadn’t thoughtlessly charged at Blyton. There were two purposes. Information gathering and bluffing. Blyton being the mastermind was already half-confirmed anyway. Now then, let’s examine this step by step. Q. What happened before this incident? A. Blyton tried to incite Jurgen’s betrayal to steal Cola. Q. If Jurgen got…
