At The End Of The Hidden Greenery

Chapter 34

Original world. Her original world

There were times when she thought she missed it. For the first year or so after getting summoned to this world, she stayed up crying and thinking about her original world every night.

She thought that if there was a way, she would definitely want to go back. She missed the convenience of technology and machines, the democracy she grew up with, and the freedom of choosing which religion to abide by. She wanted to see family and friends she could converse openly with.

However, if she had continued clinging to those memories and crying over her loss, she wouldn’t have been able to survive here. She had no choice but to let go of her longing in order to survive.

But even that had its limits. After about a year, even her desperate desire to live dried up.

Everything in this unfamiliar world suffocated her.

At that time, she met Crown Prince Aleph.

It seemed that the world had turned upside down. She came to understand a little bit of this world, which she thought was unfamiliar and harsh, and decided to live with her heart.

She was now under the impression that there’s a meaning behind her dimensional shift into this world. She was a great individual who everyone looked up to, and she held such power within her.

It’s really worthwhile. Everything will be okay. Wherever people live, it will all be the same.

Seo Jiwoo smiled and asked herself, did she want to go back?

Those sentiments had already been cut off five years ago, even before she met the crown prince. Even if she tried to think of it again now, it was dry and there was no way the feelings could come back again.

“…Why do you think I’d want to go back?”

“Statistically, the majority wanted to go back to the world they came from.”

“There can’t be that many Akarna.”

“Records show that there is a history of Akarna summonings for nearly two centuries.”

“Are there any records of those who actually went back?”

“We have confirmed that about five people have crossed the dimensional barrier.”

“What about the rest?”

“They died.”

“……”

Jiwoo’s expression darkened.

Five people in two centuries? Didn’t this mean that the odds of success were very low? And if she were to fail, would she die?

“The odds of success sounds very low.”

“That’s not true. I won’t let that happen.”

Jiwoo looked struggling, Tevon, who was next to her, suddenly intervened.

“But Seo Jiwoo said she doesn’t want to go back?”

In an austere manner, Hellkainis tilted his head to the side, like a machine starting calculations on a problem he was encountering for the first time. However, even after waiting for a long time, he gave no response. He was now like a broken machine.

Still, his eyes were fixed on Jiwoo. That inorganic gaze, his resembling obsidians, shone with a slightly insidious glint.

“…Back off.”

Tevon stood guard and protected Jiwoo’s way. Then, almost immediately, a word came out of Helka.

“I’m still fine, Tevon.”
