<<Synopsis>>

Uruu, a corporate slave office lady who was living days worn out to the limit, is suddenly thrown into another world in the form of a game character one day. Wandering with a broken heart, her hand was taken by Lilio, an innocent and strong local girl, and Trumpet, a silently fighting maid. While spending time with the girls, Uruu gradually regains the contours of the act of "living".

Having overcome a fierce battle and temporarily stepping away from her role as the "Three-Wheeled Lily", Uruu walks alone through the town of Vorst. The heat of the hustle and bustle, the smell of the river port, the sparks of the blacksmith, strange alchemists──every time she touches the breath of the other world, the memories of once living as "Jun Shibahara" quietly revive. Reality and the other world, where does the boundary lie?

Eventually, she arrives at the temple of the God of Boundaries. The distortion of the world, unnaturally arranged coincidences, and the reason for her own existence. What came back after questioning all of this was an all too lighthearted answer.

――This is a game, you know.

Wavering reality and the will to choose. Broken, but still continuing to walk. An immersive fantasy of another world that you can't help but be absorbed in.

<<A Word from the Author>>

Nice to meet you for the fourth time. Rather than progressing crisply and lightly, this work has a style of building up carefully and thoroughly, so it generally receives extreme evaluations of either "tedious" or "interesting!". That makes sense. It's the so-called "it hits those it hits" type of work. Due to its nature, it's inevitably hard to reach the people who need it, so for those of you who were hit by it, I would really appreciate it if you could deeply stick it into acquaintances who look like they might be hit by it too. Thank you for your cooperation.

<<Author Introduction>>

Nozomu Nagakushi

Started serializing the original fantasy novel "Another World Reincarnation Tale: Ghost and Lily" on "Shousetsuka ni Narou" in 2017. Debuted in 2024 when the same work won the Novel Category at the 12th Net Novel Award. In 2018, also started serializing the spin-off work "Another World Reincarnation Tale: Shield and Magic". Works like "One Cup Christmas Cake" and "Elf ≒ Sea Squirt Theory" tend to be evaluated in places the author never imagined, leaving him unsure of who he really is.
