“….Han Su-Yeong?”
“韩素英?”
I thought I heard her voice, but her aura disappeared rather quickly.
我想我听到了她的声音，但是她的气场很快就消失了。
[Great Fable, ‘Kaixenix Archipelago’, cannot acknowledge your selection!]
[伟大的寓言，’凯森尼克斯群岛’，不能承认您的选择!]
[Worldview is displaying an abnormal reaction.]
[世界观显示出一种不正常的反应]
Yuri di Aristel, inadvertently now holding [Unbreakable Faith], began trembling and shouted out loudly. “You d-dare to do something like this….!!”
尤里·迪·阿里斯特尔无意中握住了[牢不可破的信仰]，开始颤抖并大声喊出来。“你竟敢做这种事......!!”
[You’re a suitable heir to the crown of Grunsiad Archipelago.] [Your throne is being handed over to the character ‘Han Su-Yeong’.]
你是格伦西亚德群岛王位的合适继承人[你的宝座正在移交给韩素英这个人物]
[Worldview cannot understand your choice.]
[世界观无法理解你的选择。]
Rays of bright light began leaking out from Yuri di Aristel’s body.
明亮的光线开始从尤里·迪·阿里斯特尔的身体里泄露出来。
Those were Fables that didn’t belong to her; indeed, they were Han Su-Yeong’s, stuff that I knew very well.
那些不是她的寓言，确实是韩素英的，我很熟悉。
Yuri di Aristel hugged her shoulders as if she didn’t want to let any of those Fables to slip out of her.
尤里·迪·阿里斯特尔拥抱着她的肩膀，好像她不想让那些寓言故事从她身边溜走。
“I won’t let Su-Yeong go like this!”
“我不会让秀英这样走的!”
Tsu-chut, chuchuchut!!
楚楚，楚楚!！
“Be still! I told you that I’ll take full responsibility, didn’t I ” She wasn’t speaking to me right now. “I didn’t want this sort of development, either! I, I only thought that, if you continued to stay in this island….!”
“别动！我告诉过你我会负全部责任的，不是吗?”她现在不跟我说话。“我也不想看到这样的发展！我，我只是想，如果你继续留在这个岛上......!”
I could guess who Yuri di Aristel was talking to, and what the topic of their conversation right now was.
我能猜到尤里·迪·阿里斯特尔在和谁说话，以及他们现在的话题是什么。
[Exclusive skill, ‘Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint’, has activated.]
[独家技能“全知读者视角”已经启动]
The time Yuri di Aristel and Han Su-Yeong had spent together was flowing by like a river of fragments.
尤里·迪·阿里斯特尔和韩素英一起度过的时光就像一条由碎片组成的河流。
⸢”You said that you’ll stay with me! You said that you’ll become my guardian, didn’t you?! I really loved the scenario you’ve shown me. I can’t let you go like this! I….!!”⸥
“你说过你会和我在一起的！你说过你会成为我的监护人，是吗?！我真的很喜欢你给我展示的场景。我不能让你就这么走了！我......!”
⸢”My bad, Yuri.”⸥
“是我不好，尤里。”
Blood bubbled out of her mouth and she staggered unsteadily before collapsing on the ground. I hurriedly held her in an embrace. Most likely, there was a war being fought between Han Su-Yeong and Yuri di Aristel inside this body right about now.
血从她的嘴里冒了出来，她摇摇晃晃地跌倒在地上。我匆匆地把她拥在怀里。最有可能的是，韩素妍和尤里·迪·阿里斯特尔此时此刻正在这具尸体里打仗。
[Great Fable, ‘Kaixenix Archipelago’, is….]
[伟大的寓言，’凯森尼克斯群岛’，是...]
[Great Fable, ‘Torch that swallowed the Myth’, is….]
[伟大的寓言，‘吞噬神话的火炬’，是......]
Great Fables were bitterly fighting against each other in order to take over her body.
伟大的寓言故事为了占有她的身体而相互残杀。
The surrounding folks also fell into a pit of sudden confusion as well.
周围的人也突然陷入了混乱。
“Our king has changed?”
“我们的国王变了?”
“But, with a method like this….?”
“但是，用这样的方法......?”
“So, does this mean that the legitimate king has appeared among us?”
“那么，这是否意味着合法的国王已经出现在我们中间?”
The royal guards and the kingdom’s citizens were exchanging glances with complicated eyes and whispered amongst themselves.
王室卫队和王国公民用复杂的眼神交换着眼神，彼此窃窃私语。
“In that case, what about our world’s genre….”
“在这种情况下，那么我们这个世界的流派呢......”
“Shh! Have you forgotten that such words are still prohibited? Just focus on sticking to your role!”
“嘘!你忘了这样的话仍然是被禁止的吗?专注于你的角色吧!”
Then again, I’d also form an expression similar to theirs if I heard that this world’s genre had suddenly become [Kim Dok-Ja’s Company].
话又说回来，如果我听说这个世界的类型突然变成了[金道子的公司]，我也会形成一个类似他们的表达。
Yu Joong-Hyeok standing next to me spoke up. “Kim Dok-Ja, we acted too rashly.”
于重赫站在我旁边大声说:“金道子，我们太鲁莽了。”
“I know.”
“我知道。”
“This archipelago isn’t prepared enough yet to accept Han Su-Yeong as its ruler.”
“这个群岛还没有做好接受韩素妍为统治者的充分准备。”
“Since she had built up a good foundation already, I thought it was doable, you know. I mean, she was the queen of this place up until a few moments ago.”
“既然她已经打下了良好的基础，你知道，我认为这是可行的。我的意思是，直到几分钟前，她还是这里的女王。”
“She wasn’t its rightful ruler. Because there is a faction unwilling to acknowledge her that we still have the ‘revolutionaries’.”
“她不是其合法的统治者。因为有一个派别不愿承认她，我们仍然有‘革命者’。”
A forceful change of the throne would always lead to a great deal of birthing pain. For instance, Yuri di Aristel’s ‘throne usurpation’ during this scenario was not a part of the original ‘Kaixenix Archipelago’ scenario.
强行更换王位总是会带来巨大的分娩痛苦。例如，尤里·迪·阿里斯特尔在这个场景中的“篡夺王位”并不是最初的“凯克森尼克斯群岛”场景的一部分。
The queen’s unpredictable action, and our subsequent actions, were completely foreign events to the Reincarnators of the ‘Kaixenix Archipelago’ who had repeated the exact same scenario over and over again.
女王不可预测的行动，以及我们随后的行动，对于凯克森尼克斯群岛的再生者来说完全是外来事件，他们一遍又一遍地重复着完全相同的情节。
[Genre selection has been completed.]
[类型选择已经完成]
[Applicable genre’s clear conditions have not been met.]
[适用类型的明确条件没有得到满足。]
This world was not yet ready to accept the brand-new genre that we had created.
这个世界还没有准备好接受我们创造的全新风格。

“Things have become complicated.”
“事情变得复杂了。”
Yu Joong-Hyeok and I were looking at Han Su-Yeong lying on top of a luxurious bed.
余重赫和我正看着躺在一张豪华床上的韩素英。
From a while ago, the sounds of chaotic explosions continued to ring out from beyond the royal castle’s walls. All the ruckus was made by two factions fighting a bloody battle, one agreeing to the ascension of their new ruler, and the other being the citizens who rejected her.
不久前，皇家城堡的城墙外仍然传来一阵阵混乱的爆炸声。所有的骚动都是由两个派系在进行一场血腥的战斗引起的，一个派系同意他们的新统治者上台，另一个派系则是拒绝她的公民。
“Yuri di Aristel’s rule was bound to fail in the end,” said Yu Joong-Hyeok in a critical tone of voice. “As for us, we should’ve tried to gather the king’s flagbearers scattered around the powerful families in the kingdom. After that, steadily erode away the king’s influence, and unveil the [Unbreakable Faith] to complete the task. If that happened, the archipelago wouldn’t have fallen into chaos like this.”
“尤里·迪·阿里斯特尔的统治最终注定会失败，”于重赫用批评的语气说。“至于我们，我们应该试着把国王的旗手召集起来，分散在王国的强大家族中。此后，稳步削弱国王的影响力，并揭开[牢不可破的信仰]来完成任务。如果真是这样，这个群岛就不会陷入这样的混乱。”
“Right, that would’ve been the best-case scenario.”
“是的，那将是最好的情况。”
“If you knew that, then why….”
“如果你知道，那为什么......”
“However, had we stuck to that plan, then….” I stopped there for a bit and observed Han Su-Yeong’s face. “….Her 50 years would’ve become even longer, you know.”
“可是，如果我们坚持这个计划，那么......”我在那里停了一会儿，看到了韩素英的脸。“你知道，她的50岁还会更长。”
“…..”
“ ... ”
“I didn’t want to extend her 50 years by even one minute if I could help it.”
“如果可以的话，我不想让她再多活50年，哪怕只是一分钟。”
I was being serious here.
我是认真的。
The moment I arrived in this world and realised that Han Su-Yeong had to spend 50 years here, I just couldn’t escape from this one overwhelming emotion.
当我来到这个世界，意识到韩素英要在这里生活50年的那一刻，我就无法摆脱这种无法抗拒的情感。
Someone was sacrificed again because of me.
有人因为我再次牺牲了。
Han Su-Yeong who had to endure the time frame of 50 years - could she still maintain a normal, functioning mind?
韩素妍忍受了50年的时间，她还能保持正常的心智吗？
Was she able to maintain the ego of the Han Su-Yeong that I know of?
据我所知，她能维持韩素妍的自我吗？
“This is all because I made a deal with the ‘King of Reincarnators’.”
“这一切都是因为我和‘转世之王’达成了协议。”
⸢It ‘d b een be tter if I sac rificed myself ins tead.⸥
如果我把自己塞进袋子就更好了
I turned my head to discover Yu Joong-Hyeok glaring at me as if I was a pathetic fool. His lips bobbed up and down several times, but then, squeezed his eyes shut as if to suppress his anger and leaned his back against the couch’s cushions.
我转过头来，发现余重赫正瞪着我，好像我是个可怜的傻瓜。他的嘴唇上下起伏了好几次，但是紧闭着眼睛，好像是为了压抑自己的愤怒，他把背靠在沙发的靠垫上。
“I’d like to say something, but it seems that someone else will do that for me, instead.”
“我想说点什么，但似乎别人会替我说。”
“What?”
“什么?”
Right in that next instant, fiery pain shot up from the back of my head.
就在那一瞬间，我的后脑勺突然一阵剧烈的疼痛。
“Hey, Kim Dok-Ja!”
“嘿，金道子!”
I looked back to find a familiar grinning face waiting for me.
我回头一看，发现一张熟悉的笑脸在等着我。
“Everything’s screwed up because of you!”
“因为你，一切都搞砸了!”
Han Su-Yeong brushed her hair lazily and sat upright, before smacking me in the head once more.
韩素妍懒洋洋地梳了梳头，坐直了身子，又打了我一下。
*
Once Han Su-Yeong woke up, we immediately dove into an emergency meeting. Other than her pale complexion, she was in pretty high spirits.
韩素英一醒来，我们就立刻投入紧急会议。除了苍白的脸色，她的情绪非常高涨。
“I left behind methods for you to follow, didn’t I? How come you lot can’t even do what’s in the manual?! You guys are even worse than Yi Hyeon-Seong! You hear me?!”
“我留下了一些方法让你遵循，不是吗？你们怎么连手册上写的都不会做?！你们比李贤成还差劲！你听到了吗?!”
I spotted Yi Hyeon-Seong, guarding the door to our room alongside Jeong Hui-Won, peek his head inside through the open gap for a moment there.
我看到李贤成，他和郑慧媛一起守着我们房间的门，透过敞开的缝隙往里面看了一会儿他的头。
“Kim Dok-Ja. Recite to me the three methods I wrote down.”
“金道子，把我写下来的三种方法背给我听。”
“First method, ‘Fusion Fantasy’ route.”
“第一种方法，‘融合幻想’路线。”
“And what did it say?”
“上面写了什么?”
“Borrow the powers of the Outer Gods and clear the scenario…. Hey, you. That’s a stupid idea from the get-go, isn’t it ”
“借用外界诸神的力量，清除剧情.....。你好。从一开始这就是个愚蠢的想法，不是吗?”
“Okay, then. The second one.”
“好吧，那么，第二个。”
Even though I felt this inexplicable sense of unfairness, I nevertheless continued to read Han Su-Yeong’s book like a school textbook.
虽然我有这种莫名其妙的不公平感，但是我还是像读教科书一样继续读韩素英的书。
“The second method, ‘Fantasy’.”
“第二种方法是‘幻想’。”
“The contents?”
“内容是什么?”
“Start a revolt and kill the king. Hang on a sec, why am I reading thi…..”
“发动叛乱，杀死国王。等一下，我为什么要读这个......”
Her palm smacked me in the back of the head again.
她的手掌又拍了一下我的后脑勺。
God damn it, this punk….
该死的，这个废物..。
“The third method, ‘Romance’.”
“第三种方法，‘浪漫’。”
“And its contents are?”
“它的内容是什么?”
“Marry Yuri di Aristel.”
”嫁给尤里·迪·阿里斯特尔”
“And just what did you choose?”
“你到底选了什么?”
“The third method?”
“第三种方法?”
“And are we currently married?”
“我们现在结婚了吗?”
“Nope.”
“没有。”
“And why the hell not?!”
“为什么不呢?!”
I quickly evaded her flying smack and cried out. “Hey! There’s no freaking way that these are the correct methods! Did you write these down while seriously expecting us to carry them out?!”
我飞快地避开她的猛击，大叫起来。“嘿！这些方法不可能是正确的！你是不是把这些都写下来了，还指望我们去执行?!”
“You think I wrote them for your entertainment, then ”
“你以为我写这些是为了娱乐你吗?”
Han Su-Yeong breathed heavily like an angry bull and began wagging her finger at me.
韩素英像一头发怒的公牛一样喘着粗气，开始对我摇手指。
“If only you accepted the marriage proposal, everything would’ve been resolved by now! If your legitimate claim to the throne was united with Yuri di Aristel’s martial prowess, the archipelago wouldn’t have fractured into pieces like right now!”
“要是你接受了这个求婚，现在一切都可以解决了！如果你对王位的合法要求与尤里·迪·阿里斯特尔的军事威力结合在一起，这个群岛就不会像现在这样四分五裂了!”
“But, if I did that, then you’d have ended up stuck…..”
“但是，如果我那样做了，那么你就会被困在......”
“I could’ve easily convinced Yuri! My original plan was supposed to begin properly only after you got married to her!”
“我本来可以很容易地说服尤里的!我原来的计划应该是在你和她结婚之后才能正式开始!”
“…..You were busy praising me for finding a solution on my own earlier, though?”
“......不过，你一直忙着赞美我，因为我早些时候自己找到了解决办法，是吗?”
“I was merely impressed by your stupidly bad interpretation of the situation.”
“我只是对你对形势愚蠢而糟糕的解释印象深刻。”
Damn it, that’s how it was?
该死，原来是这样？
Han Su-Yeong spat out a groan and continued on. “So? What are we going to do now?”
韩素英哼了一声，接着说:“那么，我们现在怎么办?”
The revolutionaries, or the royal guards - didn’t matter which side we pick, the situation would quickly descend into the worst situation imaginable.
革命者，或者皇家卫队，不管我们站在哪一边，情况很快就会陷入可以想象的最糟糕的局面。
[Error has occurred in the scenario.]
[方案中出现错误。]
[Worldview cannot accept the conclusion to the applicable scenario.] [Worldview is uncertain whether the character ‘Han Su-Yeong’ possesses the qualifications of the ruler or not.] [<Star Stream> is discussing the topic of the applicable scenario’s clear condition.]
[世界观不能接受适用场景的结论。][世界观不能确定“韩素英”是否具有统治者的资格。][星流正在讨论适用场景的明确条件的主题。]
Citizens were fighting amongst themselves, and we were unable to leave the scenario.
市民们正在内斗，我们无法离开这个场景。
I looked at Han Su-Yeong and spoke. “I’m really sorry for being so late.”
我看着韩素英，说道:“对不起，我迟到了。”
She shrugged her shoulders and replied. “Yup, it’s been long, these past 50 years.”
她耸了耸肩回答道:“是的，过去的50年是很长时间了。”
I couldn’t find the right words to reply to her relaxed attitude.
我找不到合适的词来回答她那放松的态度。
As if wanting to lighten my load, she continued on. “Actually, I can’t remember all that well.”
好像是想减轻我的负担，她继续说，“事实上，我记不太清楚了。”
“But, that doesn’t sound right.”
“但是，这听起来不对。”
“Do you honestly believe that I’d really live out those 50 years, just like that?”
“你真的相信我真的能这样活过这50年吗?”
“What then?”
“然后呢?”
“I forgot most of them. More correctly, I erased them deliberately. If I did remember them, I’d probably have gone crazy by now.”
“我差不多都忘了。更准确地说，是我故意删除的。如果我真的记得他们，我现在可能已经疯了。”
Only then did I finally realise what her situation was. She possessed the skill [Avatar]. And it was a pretty useful skill in erasing her memories, depending on how it was utilised.
直到那时我才最终意识到她的处境。她拥有这项技能[阿凡达]。这是一个非常有用的技能，在清除她的记忆，这取决于如何利用它。
“The reason why I left that book behind was to preserve the stuff I’d forget.”
“我把那本书留下的原因是为了保存那些我会忘记的东西。”
“You made a wise decision.”
“你做了个明智的决定。”
“It was a cowardly method, you know. Not something to be praised, anyhow.”
“你知道，这是一种怯懦的方法。反正也不值得赞扬。”
Han Su-Yeong glanced at the corner of the room and spoke up. “Well, there is a monster in the world who had lived far longer than I have and chose not to forget a single thing, after all.”
韩素英看了一眼房间的角落，大声说道。“好吧，这个世界上有一个怪物，他活的时间比我长得多，毕竟他没有忘记任何一件事情。”
She didn’t have to say who it was for me to know who she was referring to here.
她不用说我也知道她指的是谁。
In order to lighten the awkward atmosphere, I resorted to making exaggerated gestures while raising my voice. “Okay, let’s not worry about that and think up of a solution from now on. Speaking from the perspective of a reader, the next portion of the story should be…..”
为了减轻尴尬的气氛，我不得不在提高嗓门的同时做出夸张的手势。“好吧，让我们从现在开始不要担心这个问题，想出一个解决方案。从读者的角度来说，故事的下一部分应该是......”
Han Su-Yeong realised what I was trying to do and quickly butted in. “Nope. Judging from the perspective of a writer, the things we need to do right now are…..”
韩素妍意识到了我想做的事情，很快插了进来。“没有。从作家的角度来看，我们现在需要做的事情是......”
Han Su-Yeong and I began yapping amongst ourselves with whatever we could think up. Such as, summon a Dokkaebi and lodge our complaints, or summon a low-ranked Outer God we are confident of dealing with, or even smashing apart whatever was in our way, scenario or not, and try to escape from here…..
