But when I opened the door, I hesitated. If I open this door and paradise appears, the game is over. In the game, these options appeared.
[You discovered another world. Would you like to dimensionally move there?]
▹Move. (Paradise ending)
▹Don’t move.
In fact, it was a bait-and-switch ending, but for me, at this moment, it was the only way out. But why am I hesitant and unable to open the door? I couldn’t tell whether I really hoped that when I opened this door, I would see paradise or the beach.
Ding!

Ding!

[I’m going to keep the video in my collection.]
Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!
The Constellations said to open the door quickly.
Let’s open it first and think about it later. I’m going to open it someday anyway, so let’s open it now.
I burst open the door of the private reading room and went inside. Flinch.
“…Where am I?’
In front of me, instead of the picturesque beach, there was only pitch-black darkness.
Ding!
[The Constellation ‘Ques■■ Ma■■ ■■ler’ has sponsored 100,000 coins.]
[Eh? The beach ■ ■■ ■■■?]
■■! ■■! ■■! ■■! ■■! ■■! ■■! ■■! ■■! ■■!
Kiiiiiiiii— Bang!
I looked back, horrified. The door is gone?!
The notification sound that had been ringing like crazy stopped, and there was complete silence. The broadcast was cut off.
Could it be another system error? In that case, Ozworld should have appeared like before and done something, but he didn’t show up.
I called Ozworld with an anxious face. “Ozworld?”
But there was no response.
Why do problems occur so often? What a damn broadcast!
“I hate this kind of thing. I never played horror games.”
As I stood still without being able to do anything about it, my vision gradually adapted to the darkness, and the surroundings began to be recognized. It was only then that I realized what kind of room I entered.
The space was dark because it was now night here, and the windows were covered with curtains. The moonlight flowing through the gap that couldn’t be covered was exceptionally pale. The m
The moment I carefully approached the window and rolled up the curtain, focusing on the white moonlight.
“…Wow.”
The moon was so close that I suddenly felt overwhelmed and suffocated. The surface of the moon was very clearly visible to the naked eye. Even the shadowy part.
My hair stood on the end at the terrifying sight that I felt like I was falling to another planet. It was scary but also beautiful.
As I stood still for a moment without saying anything in a situation that made no sense, I heard Ozworld’s voice form behind me.
“Some kind of bug came into the palace.”
“…?”
But the way he spoke was unfamiliar.
As I turned around curiously, I saw a man whose whole body was soaked in the pouring moonlight. He had beautiful gold hair and dark sapphire eyes. Pure white clothes, richly embroidered with gold thread, exposing the entire chest. Large earrings that resembled the sun rather than the shape of a skeleton or cross. He was definitely Ozworld, but not the Ozworld I know.
“Ozworld…?”
The moment I called him curiously, my neck was grabbed by him.
“Keugh!”
“How dare you say the emperor’s name in a profane manner.”
Emperor? He was referring to himself as the emperor. I widened my eyes.
Ozworld, with a drowsy look on his face, tilted his head as he looked at my face and clothes. “You have a strange look.”
He let go of my neck. Thud!
“Cough! Cough!”
“I wonder how you got into the palace, but I won’t ask.”
Ozworld mercifully pulled out his sword. The moonlight struck coolly on the silver blade.
“The moon is especially beautiful today, so I’ll send you off in peace.”
I stammered my back and was astonished. “Wait, are you crazy? Where on earth is this? Why are you trying to kill me so arbitrarily?!”
Ozworld swung his sword without answering.
I’m dying like this?!
It was then.
Flap, flap, flap, flap—! Thousands of black butterflies flew out of the shadow in front of me against the moonlight. The butterflies engulfed me when Ozworld’s eyes, which had all looked dull, grew slightly larger.
Swaaaa— I heard the sound of waves. Thousands of butterflies disappeared like smoke at the same time. I frowned at the bright light and slowly looked around.
This place was a beach. And my clothes had been changed to an open-shoulder dress. It was an easter egg that appeared when paradise wasn’t found.
I’m alive.
I came back alive from Ozworld on an unknown planet.
The Squire Butterfly saved me.
“Where on earth was it…?”
“Where are you talking about?”
Startle! I turned around in surprise and saw Ozworld, who I was familiar with, with his colorful rainbow-colored hair and a bright red suit.
“Be careful,” he said, jumping up and helping me as my legs gave out.
Unlike Ozworld, who just tried to kill me, he had a very friendly attitude, but this one was even more creepy.
When I shook off his hand, Ozworld stepped back. I kept clenching my shoulders and clenching my hands. The neck that had been held by Ozworld still seemed to be tingling.
“I came here because the broadcast signal was suddenly cut off. The advertisement is currently being played. What happened?”
“I want to ask you that. Was it a system error just now?”
“Maybe it is.”
Ozworld suddenly lifted my chin with the tip of a cane in his hand. “I was considerate because you seemed very surprised just now. Answer my question, Miss Theresa.”
A naturally overbearing gaze and attitude, A graceful action in contrast to his demeanor. And even referring to himself as the emperor.
Ozworld was once emperor. After coming to a conclusion like that, I opened my mouth. “I saw you where the moon is very big.”
“…Aah.”
Ozworld narrowed its eyebrows with an expression of understanding where I was talking. There was a hint of something.
Is this related to the previous error?
It was said that Ozworld had many enemies. So, it wouldn’t be too much to say that this phenomenon was also caused by his enemies.
“Where is that? You were the emperor?”
“I’m the one who should be questioning you, Miss Theresa.”
“I guess you don’t want to tell me? Or maybe there’s a story you can’t tell me?”
As I was pouring out words, a thought suddenly occurred to me.
“Is that world your abyss?”
“Enough.”
Ozworld withdrew his staff. “It’s no longer relevant to Miss Theresa anyway. Why are you curious?”
It was strange to ask like that.
“Of course, I’m curious about that. I’ve told you before. I’m curious about you.”
I might be able to find his weakness.
Ozworld reacted harshly. “That sounds romantic.”
Then, suddenly, he swept my lips with his thumb. A weak static electricity tickled my skin. I opened my mouth hesitantly as he pressed down my lower lip.
“What did you do?”
“I put a ban on it so that you don’t bother me with useless stories. You will no longer be able to talk about the world you just visited.”
Again, I tried to ask if Ozworld was the emperor or if it was his past, but my voice didn’t come out.
When I pursed my lips, trying to come up with a keyword that would somehow derail the ban, Ozworld chuckled.
“You’re becoming more annoyingly brave by the day, Miss Theresa.”
“My safety is at stake, so of course, I should be brave.”
Then Ozworld smirked. “Well, since you dared to deceive the constellations and seek paradise, you can certainly be called a brave person.”
I was speechless for a moment.
He knew. I deliberately didn’t mention that the paradise ending exists. It was because I thought that if I mentioned it, it would be disadvantageous to me.
So far, I’ve opened three doors. The probability of finding paradise was significantly increased. Nevertheless, since there was no restriction from Ozworld, I had a faint hope that maybe he didn’t know about paradise, but it was just a wish.
I asked with a cold, calm face. “So? Are you going to stop me from opening the Gates of Paradise now?”
Ozworld was a human being who could have done such a thing. But an unexpected answer came back.
“It’s not like that. This broadcast is strictly based on <God’s Play>, so there is no reason for me to intervene even if you reach a paradise ending.”
“…What if I find paradise in August?”
“It doesn’t matter. That’s the broadcasting rule in the first place.”
It’s a relief, but somehow I’m disappointed. Why did he put me in this situation in the first place? For what? I felt like I was told that I could be replaced.
Right. I’m just a toy. I knew it in my head, but I still felt dirty.
Ozworld checked the time and kissed me on the cheek if it was time to leave. “Let’s take it easy next time.”
When he disappeared, notifications of sponsorship began to pour in as if they had been waiting.

It seemed that the constellations were not informed of the error at all.
Talking about errors is also prohibited, right? You damn b*stard.
I pursed my lips, then gave up and wiped my cheeks.
“The sea is beautiful.”
The scenery here was as beautiful as heaven. I can’t believe I just almost died. However, I didn’t feel like appreciating it anymore.
What if an error occurs again?
I honestly wanted to decline the experience of being taken back to that strange world. Even the current bully Ozworld also speaks terribly, but the blonde Ozworld is someone you couldn’t communicate with at all.
What the? Because the moon is pretty, you’ll send me off in peace? Crazy guy.
The moment I opened the door leading to the library, swearing all sorts of things in my head, I froze.
“…Professor.”
Ilya was standing in front.
But when I opened the door, I hesitated. If I open this door and paradise appears, the game is over. In the game, these options appeared.
