Lin had been thinking for a long time.

No matter what he did or what plans he had, he felt that the thing holding him back was himself.

No matter how strong Lucy was, as long as there were multiple people targeting him, she would always have to stay close to him, unable to move freely. It was the same in Valterkrua, in the Zramun Islands, and here in the Imperial Palace.

The excuse that "a porter is a non-combatant by nature" didn't hold up. Situations and events didn’t care about such facts. They would crash down on you as they were.

After getting in the way multiple times, Lin started to feel frustrated with himself, and he began to understand why the other party members disliked him during the Demon Lord subjugation journey.

After entering the DLC episode, Lucy’s obsession became blatant, and enemies always targeted Lin, leaving the porter with no time to respond.

This couldn’t go on.

He needed to reach a level where Lucy could feel somewhat assured.

That’s why he planned this: the teleportation to Gillesman through the attack on the Crown Princess.

The City of Sorrow, Gillesman, where the Second Hero was killed—a central location for the sub-episode in Chapter 4 of the Imperial Palace, following Ephaltera, Valterkrua, and the Zramun Islands.

There were two paths in the royal palace ruins of Gillesman. One led to the mage's enhancement event, and the other to the porter’s class change event. The ruins were designed so that both events could not be completed simultaneously.

If the porter underwent the class change, he would be forcibly moved outside the ruins and unable to re-enter. If the mage’s enhancement event was triggered, the ruins would collapse, making Gillesman inaccessible forever.

After numerous attempts to save and load, Lin discovered that the only way to progress was to complete the class change first, then return later with Lucy to do the mage's enhancement event.@@novelbin@@

But that was only in the game’s system.

Lin was now in reality.

Originally, he planned to only do the mage's enhancement event, but after growing tired of his own helplessness, Lin decided to attempt both simultaneously.

There was nothing he couldn’t do.

As long as he had Mr. Lee’s memories...

[Captain... please...!]

[Linna, are you flirting with me while still thinking about him back home?]

[But... you made me like this, Captain...!]
