Chapter 3: Inevitably, the Heroine

I Hate the Heroine (3)

Thud-

Opening the door and stepping outside, something fell onto my head with a thud.

Wondering what it was, I picked it up to see a pink petal. I looked up at the sky.

"...Ah."

It was unmistakably spring. Pink petals danced in the wind, adorning the sky.

Like a pouring rain, but gentle. I sneezed from the pollen tickling my nose.

I lifted my head to greet the full bloom of spring.

The season of entrance, the se...

"Aaaargh..."

The belated realization hit me like a truck, making my vision spin.

A heroine, and the main heroine at that.

So, does that mean I have to...date the protagonist of this novel?

"No way."

Even though I'm in a woman's body, I'm a man. How can I date a man? I'd rather bite my tongue and die.

...Even so, the position of main heroine wasn't something I could just brush off. Especially since, unlike other harem stories, ...

"Ah."

The first thing I uttered upon opening my eyes was a questioning sound. Why am I awake? It's not like I laid down to sleep, nor did I collapse while doing something.

My mind is hazy as if I just woke up, even though I didn't sleep. I don't know why I feel this way. I press hard on my temples, and as my mind clears, I finally realize the strangeness of the voice I just heard. Thin, clear, and pure. A sweet, melodious voice that you could get add...

"What is this… there should be something, there has to be something…"

He muttered in a daze, as if unable to believe the reality before his eyes.

Of course, he had considered that what he was looking for might not necessarily be here.

But even so, this scene filled only with empty walls was far too cruel for him, who had been running with hope until now.

"Damn it… something come out, come out like back then…!"

Having seen the despairing words written on the pillar, Agent Henry collapsed there, seemingly in a daze.

He managed to pull himself together and resumed exploring the shopping mall.

Of course, he had no idea how much time had passed.

All the electronic devices he had when he entered this place had run out of battery.

It had been too long to gauge the passage of time, and his mind, which had begun to feel hazy at some point, was alrea...

It's been roughly a few weeks since I came here.

Of course, this only speaks to the absolute value of time.

Let's forget about calculating exactly how much time has passed, and simply explain how slow the flow of time felt to me.

Because, realistically, I should already be in a nursing home, collecting my national pension.

The simple word "boring" could never replace the tedium I felt trapped in this room.

And I am now overwhelmi...

Nightmare.

A dream you can't wake up from.

Henry Russell, an agent affiliated with Site 17.

He wished that the situation he was currently facing was just that.

"Huff… wheeze… huff…"

He was gasping for breath.

The lungs in his chest felt like they were about to explode.

No, maybe they already had.

But even so, he couldn't stop running.

Because, behind him right now.

'Name, Arthur Wilson, age, 25, birthday, February 25th, hometown is Dover Estate in Delaware...'

Arthur began to mutter information about himself in his mind.

It was a kind of diagnostic method.

A self-examination method to check for mental contamination on the spot.

The Anomaly Management Bureau dealt with numerous Anomalies that inflicted mental and psychological attacks,

And since those who faced them were inevitably subject t...

Not long before Subject 19 entered some door.

That is, not long after Sophia led her out of the isolation chamber by the hand.

"Hmm…"

Subject 19 kept fidgeting with the small device around her neck, as if something was bothering her.

"Is it very uncomfortable?"

Sophia asked Subject 19 with a worried voice.

The girl had been touching the device little by little since earlier, and anyone could see that she was feeling very ...

Not long after Sophia's report ended up in the trash.

Senior Researcher Oliver Smith was racking his brain over the events unfolding at Site-17.

Following the escape of Anomaly 871, which paralyzed half of the Site's personnel,

And then, not even weeks later, the sudden erratic behavior of Anomaly 1983 began.

These major incidents happening one after another were more than enough to give him, who managed a large part of this Site, a he...

Notice

To all personnel currently working at Site-17.

On September 18, ████, anomalous behavior was detected from Anomaly 1983.

According to the existing containment procedures, Anomaly 1983 should always be open, but,

From that date, the Anomaly was observed closing on its own,

And at the same time, Agent Henry Russell, who was working at Site-17, went missing.

Currently, the anomalous ...

If you were to ask Arthur, the Junior Researcher, about Sophia, the Senior Researcher,

He would probably defend his Seonbae, saying that she was mischievous but still a good person.

In a way, that wasn't entirely wrong.

Because she didn't show her emotions well, she was often misunderstood as a cold person,

But the Seonbae he knew was, at least fundamentally, a good person.

She had a peculiar personality, sometimes teasing people...

It seemed like the time had come.

I thought so from the bottom of my heart.

If someone were to ask me what time I was talking about,

Well, of course, it was time to leave this room.

"What are you looking at so intently?"

From beside me, a voice that had become quite familiar spoke.

I turned my head and saw the owner of the voice looking at me.

It was the blonde woman, Sophia.

And, about two weeks after I returne...

Sophia Brown, a researcher belonging to Site 17, was currently deep in thought.

She had something to seriously consider regarding the Anomalous Entity she was currently researching.

Well, it was only natural.

Most Anomalies were dangerous and unstable.

If you didn't constantly research and contemplate them,

Before worrying about the world's dangers or the lives of many,

Your own life was the most likely to be at risk.

"Come in."

With the words granting permission to enter, the doorknob turned and the door opened.

Not only Site-17, but most Sites' main facilities usually had a near-future atmosphere.

Nevertheless, there were still quite a few places with ordinary hinged doors.

"Did you call for me?"

With the sound of heels clicking, a blonde woman entered the room.

A woman with a tired and indifferent face.

It was R...

Thwack!

A bursting sound, as if something is receiving a strong impact, erupts in the air.

The source of that not-so-pleasant, slightly unsettlingly realistic sound effect was none other than,

My hand, held straight and swung somewhere—

"――――?!―!?!?"

—coming from the face of some unidentified creature,

Who I lightly smacked and was now rolling vigorously on the floor as a result,

I hadn't...

After the blonde woman who introduced herself as Sophia left the room,

I remained lost in thought, pondering something deeply.

To be precise, I was repeatedly mulling over the single word: "dimensional gate."

And for good reason. A dimensional gate, of all things.

They wouldn't just slap that kind of name on some highway toll booth, would they?

If that were really the case, I'd have to worry about whether I could even keep...

In a place where darkness had deeply settled.

Normally, Site-17 would be so brightly lit that it was hard to tell night from day, with people bustling about everywhere.

But now, there were no researchers staring blankly at monitors, no security personnel reacting hypersensitively.

It looked as if it had been abandoned long ago, a ruin.

Arthur, the chief researcher of the Anomaly Research Department and Sophia's Hubae, was currently deep in thought.

The subject of his contemplation was, of course, his Seonbae, Sophia Brown.

He was used to seeing her sitting with an expression that made it hard to tell whether she was naturally taciturn or just clueless.

But today, she seemed even stranger than usual.

To be honest, if I were to coldly assess my own appearance,

Surprisingly, I could confidently say that I had a face that was decent enough to be considered not bad.

After being reincarnated, whenever I happened to catch a glimpse of myself, I would be startled without realizing it.

Of course, I wasn't extremely ugly or unattractive in my previous life either...

Anyway, when it comes to appearance, being average or above average ...

Roughly a day has passed since I successfully returned to my hometown.

I was receiving an extremely warm welcome from people I didn't even recognize, having set foot on my homeland after so long.

Of course, this is sarcasm.

If pointing firearms at my face that could turn an elephant into a beehive in an instant doesn't mean a warm welcome in this day and age, that is.

Homecoming

There are things you only realize after losing them.

Like the regret over a past lover, or the longing for deceased parents.

These feelings that belatedly arrive after something is gone often leave a person's heart heavy, along with the thought of why they couldn't have realized it before losing it.

In my case, it was the longing for the hometown I had left.

Well, it's not like my hometown suddenly disappeared or anything.

It wasn't like that m...
