Forcing Cain and Heron out, I gestured to Andrea to leave as well. Although all three had somber expressions after I lowered my head, sniffled as if crying, and urged them to leave to calm my emotions, Andrea closed the door to let me be. As soon as they left, I rushed to the window.
"When they're not around, that's when the event happens, right?"
As long as there were no onlookers, whether it involved my butt or breasts caught in the wall, it didn't matter. So, for now, the best course of action was to flee to a place where no one was around and wait for the event to pass.
The windows in the Magic Tower were somewhat small, but they seemed big enough for a skinny guy to pass through. Anyway, these magicians should make the windows bigger, let in some fresh air, and live happily and brightly. Oh? Closing all the tiny windows and doing magical research in a dim place might explain their personalities...
So far, The magicians I had encountered were Cain, Heron, and Otakia, and all three had similar personalities. Especially thinking of Otakia, who was wailing about what kind of magic true love was, I still shuddered involuntarily.
I pushed the window upwards and without hesitation, stuck my head outside.
"Ah... Why is this hole... so small!"
Shoulders shifting and arms coming out one by one were easy, but the chest part got a little stuck. Shaking my body from side to side like a wiggle dance, the chest slipped out smoothly.
Okay, good. The waist was slim, so I could easily come out with some room to spare.
The problem was the hips. I had never thought my pelvis and buttocks were that big, but strangely, they were tightly wedged in the window with no sign of coming out. While it was easy to withdraw the shoulders and arms, the chest, and the waist, I couldn't move at all when it came to trying to go back in for the hips.
"Ah, this... Why is it so small!"
With shoulders moving, wiggling dancing, trying to go backward and forward, twisting the hips, but the window didn't budge. Instead, the front part was pressed against the window frame, causing pain in my private area.
"...Well."
I needed to get out of here quickly and hide my body... before the event happened... before those bastards came back and...
"Mana vessel, what are you doing, shaking your butt there?"
As my butt wouldn't come off easily, I was kicking the air with my legs spread wide, and a voice I shouldn't have heard reached me. I froze in the position, stiff as a board, stuck to the window. Every hair on my body stood on end.
No, it can't be. Not yet... it's not supposed to happen yet...
"Del, are you trying to escape?"
Andrea's voice echoed as well.
"It seems so. His butt is stuck."
Heron was there too.
Perhaps it was because my mind was in a hurry, and half of my body was already outside. I didn't even realize that the waiting room door had opened and, unable to wait for the unnaturally quiet me, Cain, Andrea, and Heron had entered. The 'Trapped Flower' event had already begun.
"Kill me... I'd rather you just kill me!!"
I screamed towards the outside. The system, this world, and the main characters all seemed to exist just to embarrass me. I punched the wall with tears streaming down my face. Cain grabbed my thigh from behind.
"Hey, Mana vessel! Are you really trying to run away? Why did you come all this way just to run away? Do you want to die?"
Then he grabbed both sides of my hips and started pulling me towards him.
"Come in! Come back in, you bastard!"
"Wait, wait a minute. If you do that... Ugh!"
Now my face was flushed, and sweat was pouring down. It's unbelievable. It's the worst. Right now, Cain is grabbing my hips from behind and pressing against my butt. Isn't this completely a back-attack position...? My head was spinning.
"Move aside."
Fortunately, Cain's hands quickly let go. Andrea seemed to have pushed him back.
"What are you doing, bastard? Huh?"
Cain redirected his attention from my butt to Andrea with a hostile attitude.
"Don't you see Del is embarrassed?"
Andrea said with a smile. When I turned my head as far back as possible to see the situation inside the waiting room, Andrea was standing in front of me, covering me with his body. I was deeply moved. Yeah, Andrea is a good guy, except for his profession.
"No, but if he is stuck to the window, shouldn't you take it off? Should I just leave it? Aren't you the one having lewd thoughts? Who are you in the first place?"
Cain yelled excitedly, and Heron tried to calm him down.
"First, let's get that person out of the window and fight, Magic Lord. It seems like he might be able to escape if you take off his pants. It's difficult to undress in this state, so it's better to use magic to disassemble the fabric."
Isn't he trying to stop him? Is that bastard the same as the system?!
Stranded on the window with my pants disassembled, exposing my buttocks, I desperately shook my head and shouted,
"No! Please don't disassemble my pants! I'll find a way to get out on my own! Please, everyone, just leave!"
While shouting, I felt a tickle on my cheek, and tears were flowing. Wiping my tears with dirty hands from hitting the wall, a sudden surge of sadness hit me like waves.
"Everyone... sigh, for now, go out. I also have some dignity... huk..."
"Del, are you crying?" Andrea asked with concern from behind.
"I'm not crying. Huk... Just go out, you fucking bastards..."
Perhaps sensing the sobbing mixed in with my voice, Andrea, after some contemplation, turned to Cain.
"You know how to cast a protective spell, right?"
"What? Hey! Do you think I can't even cast such basic magic? I've cast a protective barrier around the entire Magic Tower!"
"Then cast it on Del. Now."
Andrea clenched and opened both hands and added
"We're going to tear down this window."
***
In conclusion, I safely escaped from the window. Cain cast a protective barrier over my entire body, and Andrea with his bare hands dismantled the window frame. There was an unfortunate incident of glass breaking during the process, but thanks to the sturdy barrier, I came out unharmed. The 'Trapped Flower' event ended successfully, and both Cain and Andrea's favorability increased by 5 each.
However, due to the awkward and insane situation, I sought refuge in the room I was assigned on the 99th floor. I lay on the bed, turned the blanket over my head, and writhed in frustration. Since when had they been watching me? Did they witness all the chaos of shaking, turning, hitting, and struggling to get through the window?
"Maybe I should just die..."
"Del, if you show even a scratch on your body, I won't let you go."
"Ahh!"
Suddenly, a voice from above startled me. As I stood up in alarm, Andrea standing in front of the bed, with his arms crossed.
"What, what is it? When did you come in?"
"I knocked. I guess you didn't hear because you were covered a blanket."
Andrea shrugged his shoulders, speaking with a gentle and warm smile. Despite his friendly demeanor, there was an unsettling tension in his face.
"Is your butt okay?"
Sure enough, he immediately teased me. His face, attempting to suppress laughter, slightly raised the corners of his mouth. I quickly dived back under the covers.
"Get out!"
"Del, I wasn't making fun of you. I was genuinely worried... Khehe."
"Ah, just get out!"
As I grumbled under the covers, Andrea gently patted the blanket as if soothing me. "On the way here, Cain said he'd bring magical ointment, "He wasn't really making fun of you."
These bastards take turns for their various antics...!
I glared at Andrea with all my might. Then, I suddenly noticed that the fingertips holding my blanket were extremely red. When I caught Andrea's hand and turned it over, I saw cuts and scratches on his palm.
"Is this from the window earlier?"
In response to my question, Andrea briskly withdrew his hand. He chuckled and made a nonsense remark.
"It's not blood, it's paint."
Looks like this guy needs magical ointment more than I do.
I sighed and got up from the bed. Apparently, due to pride, He hadn't asked Cain for medicine.
"Wait. I'll go to Cain and get some ointment."
As I walked towards the door, Andrea grabbed me from behind.
"You don't need to apply the ointment."
"It's bleeding."
I firmly removed Andrea's hand.
"I'll endure the embarrassment and go. So just wait quietly."
Andrea didn't grab me again. He obediently sat on the bed as I instructed.
Well, this isn't dog training.
Leaving him behind, I exited the room and headed to Cain's room. Knocking on the door, I planned to borrow ointment from Heron if Cain wasn't there. However, Cain himself opened the door.
As he saw me standing at the door, he immediately shouted, "Mana Vessel! As expected, your butt is bruised, right?
Ugh... whether it's ointment or whatever, I just want to get out of this Magic Tower.
