### Summary
Following the previous chapter's cliffhanger, Calcion tests Rinha's usefulness by demanding an impromptu "audition" in the middle of the snowy forest. Tasked with portraying a "femme fatale," the actress, now going by Selina, delivers a bold and physically assertive performance, grabbing the duke and adopting a dominant persona that leaves the typically stoic Calcion visibly flustered. This successful display of her skills solidifies their arrangement. Their negotiation also highlights Selina's strong desire to return to her original world, a motivation readers praised as a refreshing departure from typical isekai tropes where protagonists quickly forget their past lives. Calcion agrees to help her find a way home in exchange for her cooperation, though readers speculate he will come to regret this promise. The chapter was lauded for its humor, the immediate chemistry between the leads, and Selina's portrayal as a smart, proactive heroine. However, many readers humorously pointed out the logistical oversight of her wearing thin, modern clothing in the freezing northern climate.
