#1. There was a heroine, but now she’s gone.
Do you know the commonality in romance novels where the runaway heroine appears?
That was about the heroine eventually getting caught.
A heroine who successfully escapes and never meets the male lead?
That’s not a runaway ‘heroin’, it’s just a runaway. There is no way there could be a romantic comedy with a heroin like that.
However, have you ever thought about what happens to the lives of those left behind if the heroine escapes too good?
“Seraphina, you’re finally taking action!”
My father exclaimed in a voice filled with anger.
Though he was usually distant, my father was now not hiding his anger towards me.
“Because Aurora Shae ran away, that family is sharpening their swords on us now!”
“No, I…”
“Quiet! Stay in your room!”
After the door slammed loudly, I wore a dumbfounded expression.
I really didn’t do anything!
I’ve been quietly living since possessing this body!
I had already caused a lot of trouble before possession, what do I do!
Fine, I’ll summarize in one line.
This is the world inside the romance novel <Try Running Away for Once.>
Runaway heroine, Aurora Shae.
And the body I possessed is the villainess, Seraphina Viviana.
Seraphina Viviana has been harassing Aurora Shae for a while.
Damn it, failed in one line. Let me write a few more.
From the point I possessed, the heroine Aurora had already escaped.
According to the original story, Aurora Shae fled because of four male leads who ruined her mental state, but Seraphina Viviana is not entirely blameless.
The male leads are all honorable and talented individuals, so I’ll be the one receiving blame.
Therefore, my life is ruined.
“Ugh, what am I supposed to do!”
It’s a big problem. If I don’t do something, the Shae family will raise objections to our family, and I’ll face punishment.
Not only that, the shameless male leads who don’t admit their mistakes will think Aurora fled because of me, dragging my life into ruin!
I’ll roam this unfamiliar world with nothing!
“No, it can’t be!”
I clenched my head in frustration, burying my face in the blanket.
Could I return to my original world if I closed my eyes for a moment?
However, denying reality didn’t change anything…
Okay, doing this is just a waste of time and inefficient. Come to your senses, me.
In the vanity mirror, a woman with disheveled lavender hair reflected back at me.
Her jade-colored eyes are so clear and drooping that you can’t believe she’s a villainess. Soft white skin and a face that looks harmless no matter how you look at it.
By the way, this is the current trend for villainesses, so it wasn’t anything strange.
“What should I do?”
As I became anxious, I heard the sound of someone knocking on the door.
I asked it to come in, wondering if my father had come to visit again, but the one who opened the door and came in was a maid wearing a maid uniform.
No, to be exact, it was an automaton artificial intelligence maid.
In this world, magic engineering was highly advanced, and as such, most wealthy noble families used automatonic maids instead of human ones.
Although they were a bit stiff, they could move like real humans, could talk, and even though they were made of metal, they had the appearance of humans. It can truly be said to be excellent technology.
“Lady, the book you ordered has arrived.”
The maid handed me the book with a mechanical tone.
No matter how I think about it, this seems like incredibly advanced technology. A world with AI automatonic maids but no tall buildings, it’s really a strange place.
Anyway, I accepted the book and asked.
“What should I call you?”
“I am Abigail.”
“Right, Abigail. I vaguely remember ordering this book sometime.”
“You ordered it last week.”
A couple of books I glanced at had titles titled <100 Essential Mathematics Concepts for Magic> and <Advanced Magic Requires Advanced Mathematics>.
Oh, I can read the writing in this world.
Anyway, what matters now is…
“So, have there been any updates on Aurora Shae?”
“We received no clues.”
My face became even more gloomy at those words.
I wish Aurora Shae would be caught soon. The longer it takes to hear news about her, the more anger will build against me.
With a gloomy face as if I came from hell, I recalled information about Seraphina Viviana from the original work.
Since the story mainly revolves around the relationship between the runaway heroine and the male leads, the villainess’s role wasn’t significant…
Seraphina was the only daughter of Count Viviana, a family of magician.
And, following the cliché, she was the only daughter in Count Viviana’s family, who could not use magic.
Due to this, Seraphina always harbored feelings of inferiority.
Consequently, targeting the timid and introverted Aurora, who couldn’t exert much influence in society, Seraphina unleashed her feelings of inferiority, tormenting her.
Of course, Aurora escaped because the male leads played with her, ruining her mental state. However, to those unaware, it might seem like Aurora fled because of me.
‘How do I avoid this crisis… Wait a moment.’
Come to think of it, if Aurora just returns to her original place, wouldn’t the problem be solved?
Then I’ll just have to find Aurora myself!
I distinctly remember reading in the original work that magic in this world is based on mathematics.
There was a detailed explanation because there are magician among the male leads.
Seraphina couldn’t use magic because she was terrible at math, but I’m different.
I’m pretty good at math!
In my past life, I was a math teacher! Not exactly a top-tier one, maybe not the best internet teaching star, but I had a reputation in the Daechi Academy neighborhood.
…Well, maybe not top-tier, but I did have a bit of fame in the private tutoring world.
I didn’t slack off on research to establish my position in the fiercely competitive education market.
“Yes, I’ll use magic to be the first to find Aurora!”
And the level of math in novels should be consistent, right?
Probably around that level?
– “Ah-ha! So this is what <0> means!”
– “Wow! Amazing! I can’t believe such a thing exists!”
– “Now math will be much easier!”
– “Wow, are you the genius of the century!”
As I entertained the thought of directly capturing Aurora, the sound of excitement naturally bubbled up.
Yes, let’s see what level it’s at.
“100 Essential Mathematics Concepts for Magic,” this should be fairly easy, right?
– Fourier Transform
The process of calculating F(w) for a function f(t) using the following equation is known as the ‘Fourier Transform.’
The equation that reverses F(w) back to f(t) is called the ‘Inverse Fourier Transform.’
“…Huh?”
– Quaternion Definition
When there are three imaginary units, i, j, and k, a quaternion q is represented as q = a + bi + cj + dk, where the imaginary unit k satisfies the following conditions:
i^2 = j^2 = k^2 = ijk = -1
ij = ji = k, jk = -i, ki = -ik = j
(Note: Quaternion multiplication does not obey the commutative law.)
“Uh…?”
Finally, I realized.
Unfortunately, the mathematics used for magic in this world is not “Ah-ha! So this is what <0> means,” but rather ‘real mathematics.’
