I was made terminally ill by Hezen, had to fend off the cleaners trying to eliminate bugs, and even Hezen himself tried to kill me directly.

There were also battles with the system administrators, erosion in this space, traps of the fog…

Piya said I could restart even if I died.

But what’s the point of clearing the game after repeating death so many times…

My brows furrowed in distress at the thought.

‘No, let’s not think about such an ending.’

I shook my head vigorously, casting away the frightening assumption.

The existence of a [Resurrection] system meant that there was a possibility of dying while carrying out the scenario.

The player-exclusive shop sold various items, including instant resurrection tickets, but they were useless to me regardless of their high price.

Of course, that made sense.

The player-exclusive shop was a system for in-game purchases, and as Luibel in this world, not a player from South Korea, I couldn’t buy items from there.

So, that skill was my only lifeline.

That’s why I had decided to unlock that skill from the beginning.

The only problem was that, due to its powerful effect, it required a lot more points to unlock compared to other skills which needed only 3-5 points.

But I was determined to unlock it!

I still only had 50 skill points, but…

‘There’s always a way.’

I smirked and selected the small [Reset] option next to the skill list.

[If you reset skills, you can only recover half of the invested skill points. Please select the skill to reset.]

I didn’t hesitate to choose .

To think all skill points were tied up in that useless skill of conquering opposite-gender characters.

Thinking about it again, Hezen was quite a madman.

What use are 100 lover slots?

[SYSTEM] Skill is being reset.

[SYSTEM] 55 skill points have been recovered.

I now had a total of 105 skill points!

I used 100 points to unlock .

[SYSTEM] Skill has been unlocked.

I looked at my newly acquired skill with satisfaction.

It was a sort of insurance.

It meant that in the midst of many upcoming crises, I had one more life to spare.
“So, let’s move forward without fear.

‘Of course, even this will be useless if the system connection gets cut off like last time…’

I thought this as I glanced at Anselot.

He seemed perfectly fine on the outside, without any sign of pain…

‘The system does not tolerate those who deviate from its order.’

The thought of the pain that comes when defying the system’s order worried me a little.

‘Well, I’ve become quite accustomed to it, haven’t I?’

Anselot had said he didn’t feel pain, he was just used to it.

Considering he had exposed himself as a bug in the forest this time and even blocked Piya’s connection…

Chrrrr! Chrrrr!

―But it’s good, Lady Lulu! We got out of the forest safely!

Piya gently landed on my shoulder, chattering away.

I had been worried that a system administrator might appear and suspect us like they did with Cedric when the system connection was cut off in the forest, but fortunately, that didn’t happen.

“There’s a city over there!”

Klaus, who had been scouting ahead, called out to us.

Chrrrrrrrrr!

―The next scenario won’t arrive for another two weeks. Rest easy until then, Lady Lulu!

I pulled the reins of my horse, listening to Piya’s kind explanation.

Upon reaching the first city after leaving the forest, we decided to stay overnight at an inn.

Klaus went to sell the by-products of the he had hunted.

By-products of strong monsters often sold for a good price.

As a princess whose only possession was money, I didn’t really care, but thrifty Klaus busied himself selling them to buy potions needed for the rest of our journey.

He had hunted a whopping 500 bears, so it was a considerable amount.

Meanwhile, Anselot, Elay, and I took a seat at a table on the first floor of the inn.

I ordered two beers for Anselot and me and a warm milk for Elay.

Then, I poured some of Elay’s milk into an empty cup and gave it to Piya.

Chrrrr! Chrrrrrr!

―Piya wants beer too!

“Out of the question.”

Chrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

―Lady Lulu is mean!

Piya flapped its wings noisily.

“Be quiet, Piya. Try to be more like Elay.”

Unlike Piya, Elay quietly sipped his milk, holding the cup with both hands.

“Oh, you’re so well-behaved.”

As I stroked Elay’s head, Piya chirped loudly again but quickly quieted down after making eye contact with Anselot.

‘At this rate, I can’t tell if it’s following me or Anselot.’

I grumbled inwardly and sipped my beer.

This city was also a waypoint to Luenhart.

Perhaps that’s why, among the chatter of travelers gathered on the first floor, Anselot’s name occasionally came up.

“So, Prince Anselot of Luenhart is expected to return soon?”

“I wonder if his return will bring another storm to Luenhart.”

Anselot seemed to be quite notorious among the travelers as the ‘killer prince.’

“Anselot. People are talking about you.”

I whispered, giggling with a playful intent to tease him, and Anselot snorted as if he found it amusing.

“They’re talking about you too, Lady Lulu.”
