Landing on a Planet

As soon as I realized the Crazy Princess was here, I didn't hesitate—I grabbed Eva and dragged her out of the way.

"H-Hey! Watch where you're touching!" Eva growled, but I had no time to concern myself with such small matters.

In a flash, I pulled her into a corner just out of view, clamping a hand over her mouth. "Shhh!" I hushed her, sweat dripping down my forehead as I scanned the surroundings.

'Good, nobody paid attention to us!' I sighed in relief.

Adding to that, I could no longer see the Crazy Princess—which meant she shouldn't be able to see us either. At least, I hoped so. Time passed, and after a few grueling seconds, hell descended.

"...Hey."

A muffled voice, as if rising straight from the depths of the underworld, sent shivers down my spine.

"I'll at least listen to your excuse before I put an end to your puny life."
