‘Museums are changing.’

Time around me seemed to have stopped for a moment and was passing very slowly.

Everyone except me stopped as if standing still.

Then, it soon starts to make strange movements, as if a video is playing.

‘Is that reverse playback?’

The reason why the movements of the people around me felt strange was because they were being reversed.

The objects in the museum, like the people around them, were also showing rapid changes.

Just as I was curious, the museum changed with the appearance of the princess.

New, more luxurious and precious items were appearing.

In a word, this museum is currently reassembling the past.

‘Why did I want to see this?’

Of all the many places, why?

Did they try to select the princess here?

There are plenty of places where you can draw.

An indescribable feeling of rejection and regret comes flooding back.

I felt like I saw the truth that I shouldn’t have seen.

‘How many people can see this and remain sane?’

After seeing something like this, I felt like I would never be able to view this world as innocently as before.

Everything I have built up until now feels so pointless that it is pointless.

‘Suhan.’

‘mister!’

‘Boss~’

I lost my will in an instant and was on the verge of collapsing.

Suddenly, children came to mind.

Children who trusted me and readily chose a dangerous path.

Of course, they were also ‘created’ by my summons, but the memories and affection I built up with them could not be said to be lies.

How else to explain the night I spent with Rebecca and Thalia?

Are you going to dismiss the moments you had with them as lies?

Would I have the courage to do that in the first place?

‘No matter what happens, at least to me this is reality.’

He was reborn and lived for 16 years without remembering his past life, and after remembering his past life, he lived as a mercenary for 14 more years.

I have been betrayed, made friends, been hurt, and almost died.

As long as that memory existed, this place had no choice but to be reality.

I barely took a deep breath, feeling sick and having a headache.

‘I don’t want to see anything like this again.’

This probably doesn’t happen often.

Not only did I choose the princess, an influential figure, but why did I also choose the museum?

‘It’s ridiculous that I brought this upon myself.’

In order to change the twisted past, the world had no choice but to turn back time.

Originally, I would not have been able to see or feel the distorted time.

But this store window made that possible.

‘I don’t appreciate any of this, so please take it away.’

Time played backwards for a long time and stopped while I was complaining of a headache.

And time began to pass normally, not in reverse playback.

Of course, at a similar pace as the past changed.

It was a change that felt quite long to me, but in reality it was only a moment.

‘Is it back to normal now?’

After finishing playing, the surrounding scenery resumes its normal speed.

I was the only one who got a glimpse of something I shouldn’t have seen and was completely nauseous.

Woo-woo-woo!

“Hmm, I think this is my first time seeing no visitors like this. Is there something I don’t know about?”

The princess, who was in the same place as me at the scene of the abnormal phenomenon, did not seem to notice anything strange.

She was looking around leisurely with her arms crossed and frowning while grumbling.

My twisted stomach quickly subsided as I returned to normal.

However, the good feelings that came with choosing the princess did not return.

“Why are there so few visitors? Is your mouth blocked with a thread? “Why can’t you answer?”

“sorry. There were definitely a lot of visitors until yesterday… .”

“The director said, ‘Where are you going when the museum situation is like this and you can’t even see a poop?’”

“sorry. “I’ll contact you urgently!”

The princess was looking at the museum full of dissatisfaction and was looking for an employee to see if it would work out.

However, changing staff did not result in a sudden increase in visitors who had never been in the original world line.

Maybe it won’t return to normal until tomorrow?

‘In the original scenario, the museum was always a crowded place, so it would be embarrassing for the princess.’

After barely catching my breath, I decided to check out the transformed museum.

With the appearance of the princess, the museum changed to look like a remodeled building.

The museum, which had been run with formal support, was transformed into a museum filled with various rare treasures thanks to the princess’s touch.

“That’s why it was so crowded. that’s interesting.”

I didn’t really visit the museum, but I thought it was worth paying for if the quality was this good.

I was in such a bad mood that I had no intention of visiting the museum.

Since it was the princess’s hobby, the family seemed to actively encourage her to visit the museum.

‘Because the opportunity to become friends with the princess does not come easily.’

If you are lucky like now, the princess may appear at the museum.

“You there.”

“… … .”

“Hey, can’t you hear me?”

“Are you saying that?”

I, who was lost in other thoughts, turned towards the princess with a feeling of uncertainty.

just as expected.

The princess was looking straight at me.

Actually, I heard the princess calling someone from the beginning.

But I didn’t know that the target would be me.

“Yes, I called you.”

“Can I ask what’s going on?”

“It’s nothing special, I just want to ask you something.”

“Please speak.”

“Where is your personal guide?”

“yes?”

“Is it really not there?”

When I entered, the museum did not always have a guide, so it was natural that there was no guide.

“It’s okay if you don’t have it.”

But how did the princess recognize me?

Wasn’t it true that you wouldn’t recognize my presence if I didn’t make a sign?

‘ah! ‘I told you so.’

I was so surprised by what was happening around me that I forgot that I had even made an appearance.

“Is it okay if I don’t have it? Is it really okay to come to a museum and look around without a guide? “How many times have you been here?”

“… “This is my first time.”

Even as I was answering, I thought this wasn’t right.

The princess has a great attachment to museums.

It was clear that if I answered this, I would foam at the mouth and throw a fit.

“under! “Why don’t you have a guide if it’s your first time on a topic?”

just as expected.

A strong reaction came out from the princess.

“It’s such a mess that there are no visitors!! “If I don’t pay attention for a moment, things will end up like this, tsk tsk!!”

“Hi.”

Seeing the employee’s complexion turn pale, I expressed my condolences in my heart.

The princess frowned, as if she didn’t like the employee freaking out as if her own head had been cut off.

“I need to change the enema soon.”

“eww… Ugh… .”

Are you getting fired because of me?

The princess told the crying employee not to worry.

“I’m not saying I’m going to fire you, so don’t worry. The plan was to fire the director who was not doing his job properly. “If the director had run things properly, there would be no way for the staff to be lazy, right?”

“Black! Hehehe! sorry. Hehehe!”

In the end, the employee burst into tears.

“Are you going to start crying when you have guests? It’s ugly, so stay inside. “The person who should be the face of the museum is so weak-hearted.”

The princess never comforted the employee who burst into tears.

The employee disappears after repeatedly apologizing.

While the princess sighed softly and shook her head, I gradually took a step back and increased the distance from her.

I felt like something shouldn’t stay there.

“You’re not trying to run away from me, are you?”

“yes? Oh, no. I wanted to drink some water. haha.”

The unfortunate thing is that the employee disappeared so quickly that the princess’s attention quickly turned to me.

“Tsk, the water is at the entrance. It worked out just fine. Since I’m gone, I should guide you properly from the beginning.”

“yes? Guidance?”

“You came to my museum, but I can’t just leave you with bad memories. I’ll start again from the beginning. I guess you didn’t make a different schedule when you came to the museum? “You will need at least three hours to fully enjoy the sights.”

I wanted to say that there was also a schedule that wasn’t there.

This was because he was not sure whether suddenly forming a friendship with the princess would be a help or a hindrance in the future.

To be honest, I am very embarrassed.

I am not a noble and have to deal with the royal family, so starting without a plan like this was difficult even for me.

It would be better to step away now and make a proper plan later to impress her.

“I’m really fine! “The explanation was so well written that I didn’t need any guidance.”

Besides, I didn’t come here to visit the museum in the first place, right?

Moreover, since the headache had not yet completely gone, it seemed like the explanation would not make much sense.

“You don’t know that you can’t just be satisfied with that much. You can’t feel the true fun of our museum through explanatory texts. It will be your family’s honor, so don’t talk nonsense and follow me. Receiving guidance directly from me is a benefit that not everyone can obtain. “There is nothing more foolish than missing an opportunity and regretting it.”

However, the princess seemed to have already made up her mind that she would guide me, so she casually declined the offer.

At the very least, I would have liked it to be completed by attaching another guide rather than having the princess do it herself, but it seemed impossible.

“I’m sorry, but I don’t think there’s any need for the princess to do the wrong thing herself. “How dare my subjects make the princess their guide?”

“huh? “Did you know who I was?”

“Sure. “How could a citizen of the empire not know the princess?”

In fact, the princess probably had no intention of hiding herself.

Clothes like that, and gestures and language full of nobility were clearly shouting that I was a member of the royal family.

“I was wondering why he kept pulling back, but I guess he refused because he found out who I was and felt burdened.”

“I’m sorry.”

“Don’t be too scared. “Any citizen of the empire is entitled to receive my guidance at the museum.”

The princess did not back down despite my strong refusal.

On the contrary, the more he spoke, the more he seemed to become convinced of the need to guide me.

“There is so much I want to say to you. “You’re not trying to reject the royal family’s offer, are you?”

“… “I will follow.”

In the end, I had to follow the princess towards the museum entrance.

And then I began to receive guidance from the princess.
