   Summary

   Shen Qingqiu and Tomioka Giyuu have been dropped into the Slay the Princess universe. At first, they're confused and target the protagonist of the universe, assuming that he was attacking a woman already locked away in the basement, but as time goes on and loops repeat, they realize that the princess is not what she seems

   The Long Quiet and the voices in his head are confused on why slaying the princess is more complicated than the narrator lets on.
