Reincarnated in a depressing erotic world but living a normal life (right?) castle and princess

There I was, staring at the scene of a city covered by a multitude of thorny vines that had replaced my everyday classroom...

"Alright.... Why did it happen again?!"

So, I decided to demand answers from the experienced Echidna!

Only to receive an unexpected response.

"Wait, what?! Why?!"

"...."

I couldn't argue with that logic, so I had no other choice (sadly) but to think for myself for the answer...

Nothing cos to mind!!

I'm not an expert on mystical or anomalous topics that I don't know!

"Now what to do... Hmm..."

While I was racking my brains trying to make sense of why only I (and Echidna) were absorbed even though there was soone else beside , I heard Echidna's words.

"Then please tell your theory, as it's probably better than mine."

"The one with the tower?"

The events of that literary world still irritate . I an, I fought alongside the straw dolls as best as I could against the (previously) imposing "black armor," and if it hadn't been for Echidna's display of power, we would have died.

And what did I receive as a reward from that place?

A damn mountain of underwear!!

If it weren't for the fact that I at least took (stole) Silver as a reward from that place, I assure you I would have picked up a pyromaniac hobby to vent my frustration.

"So, what you're saying is that I fulfilled so requirent to be absorbed?"

"That ans we have to complete the story of this literary world to escape, right?"

".... Haaaa.... I just hope it's not underwear again..."

But putting aside my weak hopes and using my previous experience, even without reading the story, I think I know what I have to do.

Since last ti they left right in front of the tower for to complete it, that ans the city covered in thorny vines in front of is the story I have to complete, and due to its resemblance to a story I know, it's most likely that I have to reach the castle from where all these vines originate to end the curse.

"Well then, I choose you, straw dolls!!"

(Yesss!!)

(Here we go!!)

(Ti for revenge!!)

So, learning from last ti, I imdiately took out the reliable straw dolls from my {dinsional storage pocket} for the job.

[a swarm of straw dolls attacks]

[a wave of thorny vines counterattacks]

[both forces are evenly matched!!]

But I didn't count on them neutralizing each other...

Even though as ti passed, the number of vines began to exceed the total number of straw dolls, what was impressive was that they were still evenly matched with the nurical superiority of the vines.

"Hey, Echidna..."

"Is it my imagination, or do the straw dolls seem stronger?"

"Are you sure...?"

I an, they're now adopting shapes similar to the Tyrannosaurus Rex from last ti...

They weren't even there at that ti?!

"Well... I guess you're right."

But even so, it seems to be at a standstill where neither can gain ground on the other. At this rate, it will only be an eternal battle.

"There's no option."

So, to break this deadlock, I decided to take Silver out of the {dinsional storage pocket} to finish this quickly.

("Hi, Mom!!")

"But now, thanks to the training, I should be able to withstand at least 10 minutes before starting to get sick!"

And with this fleeting resolve...

"Let's do it, Silver!!"

("Mom!!")

"RESONANCE"

(Flash!!)

"ARISING FROM AN EXPLOSION IS THE SILVER KNIGHT!!"

(BOOM!!)

"Because it's essence!!"

("Nod, nod!!")

It's quite sad how Echidna is still unable to see how important a transformation sequence is, but I know that one day she will understand (hopes).

But let's get back to the main point. Now transford into the "Silver Knight," I coated my body in the "gray flas" while walking along the path opened by the straw dolls for , neutralizing any attempt by the thorny vines to attack thanks to the properties of the "gray fire."

What are they?

Excellent question!!

You see, when Silver was still the imposing "black armor," it accumulated a lot of hatred and resentnt from guarding the tower for an almost incalculable amount of ti, causing it to manifest "black flas" that kept burning until they consud their target.

But when Echidna made her display of power, purifying (punishing) the "black armor," its flas didn't disappear when it was purified due to their persistent nature. Instead, they mutated, turning into "gray flas" with the ability to nullify and neutralize the properties of other things while retaining their original destructive power.

I decided to call these flas {"Neutral Ash Flas"}, and thanks to them, it was quite easy to cross the thorny vines as they were unable to touch . Moreover, with the superhuman speed of the "Silver Knight," I was making my way to the castle quite quickly.

However, it's quite sad to see all the corpses along the way, entangled in the vines, as I head towards the castle...

"This was suspiciously easier than last ti."

"Is that useful to know...?"

And with this (sowhat?) calm conversation with Echidna, we arrived at the origin of the vines to find what I was already expecting, sleeping peacefully... Yep... It's a princess...
