possessed a background character in the original story— and then got knocked out cold when my father hit me over the head with a liquor bottle. Three days later, when I finally opened my eyes, I—now "Seraphy"—decided the first thing I had to do was kick my father out. Even if it meant being labeled a disgrace, I had to survive, didn’t I? I was going to strip that violent, gambling-addicted father of his title, revive our ruined noble house, and find a way back to my original world! “I’ve found the land abandoned by the gods!” That’s how I ended up interfering with the original plot, and became Countess Validus, blessed by the gods. “I’m thinking of starting a business…” “You want to enter the Magic Tower?” “This bill has way too many flaws!” “Want to try getting a sponsor?” “Maybe I’ll build a school?” I kept meddling—completely guilt-free. And then... “My lady! No—my lord!” “Seraphy, I want to serve under you.” “If Seraphy says it, of course I believe it.” “The Countess is the hope of this nation.” “Will you accept me?” All I ever wanted was to make some money and live comfortably. So why are they all lining up, swearing loyalty, treating me like some kind of savior? Seraphy honestly had no idea.

I possessed an extra in the original story, but then my father hit me on the head with a liquor bottle and I passed out. Three days later, when 'Seraphy' finally opened her eyes, the first thing she decided was to kick her father out. So what if she became an unfilial daughter? First, she had to survive. She would strip her abusive, gambling-addicted father of his title, revive the ruined family, and find a way back to her original world! “I’ve found the land abandoned by the gods!” That’s how she naturally started interfering with the original plot and became Countess Validus, blessed by the gods. “I’m thinking of starting a business...” “You want to enter the Magic Tower?” “This bill has way too many issues!” “Want to get sponsored?” “Should I start a school?” She kept meddling without a hint of guilt, and before she knew it… “My lady! No—my lord!” “Serah, I’ll become your subordinate.” “If Serah says it, I’ll believe it without question.” “The Countess is this nation’s hope.” “Would you accept me?” All Seraphy wanted was to make her life easier, earn money, and gain a little honor, so she couldn’t understand why everyone kept crowding around, treating her like a goddess, swearing loyalty, and making a fuss.

She found herself in the body of an extra in the original story, but her father hit her on the head with a bottle and she was unconscious for three days. When she woke up again as ‘Seraphie,’ she decided the first thing to do was to kick out that b*stard father of hers. “I found The Land Abandoned by God!” And so, she naturally started meddling with the original plot. “Should I try starting a business…?” “Do you want to join the Magic Tower?” “This bill has too many issues!” “Would you like to receive some sponsorship?” “Should I try founding a school?” As she kept meddling without any guilt… “Milady! No, Master!” “Sera, I will become your subordinate.” “If Sera says it, of course, I believe it.” “Countess is the hope of this country.” “Will you accept me?” She was just trying to make money and build some honor for her own comfort, but why were they all flocking to her, pledging loyalty and causing a commotion? Seraphie couldn’t understand it at all. * * * “Sera.” “…” Seraphie hurriedly covered her ears with both hands. As she stepped back with a flushed face, Orkis also widened his eyes in surprise. But soon, he drew a playful smile. “Oh my, you’re weak to nicknames.” Seraphie couldn’t find the words to respond. It wasn’t that she was weak to nicknames, but rather, it was only natural to be startled when someone suddenly whispered in your ear. Seraphie was convinced that was the only reason. Otherwise, there was no way her heart would be pounding just from being called a nickname that didn’t even have much impact. As Orkis enjoyed watching her reaction, he looked like an innocent boy. The eyes that were always bored with the world felt pure for the first time. Seraphie felt a tickle at the tip of the nose for no reason. It felt like the unique scent of a fresh summer had become even stronger. “If it’s a nickname, I think I could call you that every day.” Orkis gestured for Seraphie to come over. Despite feeling hesitant, she eventually approached him. “Your intention to tease is too obvious, so I can’t allow it.” “Countess said that practicing things like this makes it a habit.” “I want to punch my past self for saying that.” Still, Seraphie didn’t oppose being called by the nickname.
