chapter 13
13. She (2)
Today is the third day since I wandered to find the information guild. I can’t help but feel depressed in the morning. It was because I couldn’t answer the question properly when the lady asked me if I had made a request to the guild as I was about to leave in the morning. As soon as I saw the slightly frowning face of the girl, I wanted to slap her own cheek.
She couldn’t come forward and fulfill the request of the lady she hand-carried for me, her only maid. Even if she hates me, it’s a natural result. ‘Cause I let you down
But the lady only frowned at her and she didn’t blame me. She even said that she was sorry for making her suffer because she asked for a rather difficult request. The consideration was so touching, but at the same time, she felt a bit like that because she couldn’t do the favor of such a kind lady.
As always, I wandered around and asked again and again, but now people tended to ignore me and run away whenever I appeared. As I was still sullen at that fact, I heard a familiar voice.
“Are you looking for an information guild today as well? My sister is also really great.”
A little child who came to me without hesitation and sat down beside me. This relationship, which was established on the first day of exploration, has continued to this day.
“It must be somewhere. Because it’s what the lady asked for.”
I haven’t checked the contents of the note yet. Because she asked the lady not to look.
“Do I really need to find that information guild?”
“Of course not. That’s what the young lady asked for.”
Her child’s eyes narrowed at those words. She raised her hand to the corner of her suspicious eye and pinched her cheek. She drew her attention to the screaming child and let go of his overstretched cheeks. As I wrapped my arms around her cheeks and glared at her, I banged her head.
“You have no friends. Why do you keep chasing me?”
“Because my sister is looking for an information guild.”
“What does that have to do with you?”
What I said must have stimulated the child’s curiosity. Well, if you’re that age, you’re obsessed with secret bases and heroic epics, so you can’t help but be seduced by these stories.
As she sighed and looked at her street, the child spoke to her again.
“The information guild is a pretty dangerous place, but I’m worried because my sister is going to go there.”
“What?”
She looked at the child talking as if she knew something about the information guild. Her face, which until now had been innocent and mischievous, looked different. It’s strange to say this, but he had the face of a man who had gone through all the ups and downs of the world.
I got up from my seat without realizing it and opened the distance. The child just stared at me like that.
“It is a place where even murder is not shy. If someone as naive as you go, you will die.”
“You, what do you think you know about it!”
I was terrified at the sound of death, so I stuttered. I don’t like being looked down on, but it’s better than being scared and keeping my mouth shut.
“Because I am a member of that guild.”
“Huh?”
“On the first day, I heard that there was an idiot looking for an information guild on the roadside, so I approached it out of curiosity. If I hadn’t walked up to her and talked to her, she would have already been unable to find the body. I saved my sister’s life.”
Goosebumps sprouted all over my body at those words that didn’t sound like lies. Come to think of it, if the information guild is such a dangerous place, there is no way people who openly seek it out will not be left alone.
“I thought he might have another plan, so I followed him and watched him… It seemed like he was just running errands? Support that note? The one I dropped on the side of the road on the first day.”
“Uh, uh uh… Yeah.”
“Follow me. It’s a nuisance to go around like this, so I’ll guide you to the guild. I’m inviting you as a client, so don’t be afraid of getting killed.”
I watched the child who was walking ahead of me. I still feel bewildered. A member of the information guild that the kid I used to play with was looking for so long? He wanted to scream nonsense and go the other way, but this is the first time he has a clue. Even if it’s a joke, it’s worth it.
“Come quickly. Leave?”
At those words, I forcibly moved my frozen body and followed the child.
——————————————–
These days, she is doing strange things while meeting merchants from all over the country. She replaces existing soap with some kind of natural soap and promotes it as good for the skin. Isn’t she making soap all day long? Isn’t she already trying to make something called ‘shampoo’ based on the production method of Young master? She made and sold natural cosmetics and she was making a strange noise.
‘I didn’t even know I already had everything, so I stayed in my room and made a fuss.’
When she met Young master, her skin and hair were getting messed up to show her flawless appearance. Even if her maids helped her by her side, she refused, saying there was a way to wash herself.
“The real plague of the Middle Ages. There is no shampoo or body wash, and why is there only soap like this. It’s useless to say that I’m going to have a good time with this. Ugh, I want to make and sell it.”
The skin on my fingertips was cracked because I touched even chemical products with my bare hands with a technique I had never made before. When her skin cracked and bleed, she poured the potion she had been keeping in her room.
Ah, that’s very expensive for a bottle.
“The potion is useless again.”
I never got used to my giggling look. She did various strange things, but she went to bed and lay down without washing her eyes, blinking her eyes as if she was soon tired. She must have fallen asleep soon after hearing a whisper, and shortly afterwards the door opened quietly.
Emily, with her emaciated face, looked at me lying face down and sighed. The wetness around her eyes must have meant she was crying somewhere else. Poor Emily. I’m sorry I made you suffer because of me.
“Everybody come in. The lady is asleep.”
At that, the maids who were waiting outside came in. Ventilate the room and clean the dirty place. Meanwhile, Emily, along with her two maids, undressed me and removed my make-up. After changing into her pajamas, Emily sighed in relief and put her back on the bed, covering her with the covers. Looking at the eyes filled with arrogant emotions, my heart broke.
“My lady… Why the hell are you doing that? Please, please come back to the old days.”
Other maids embraced Emily, who finally showed her tears, and quietly left her room. A whimper came through the door.
‘Because of you. Because of you alone, how many people!’
Although she knew it was useless because she couldn’t control her anger, she unknowingly swung her hand and slapped her on the cheek. Perhaps because the desire to hit him really hard was so strong, the still magic power moved.
– Jjaak!
A thrilling yet powerful sound echoed through the room. Both I who hit and the girl who hit me were dumbfounded, and silence lingered for a while.
She jumped up and looked around, probably awakened by an intense pain in her cheek. But she couldn’t be seen. Even when she shouted, she was the one who ignored it as an auditory hallucination.
“What the f*ck is this! Is this body really too backward? aaagh!”
The sudden pain must have gone crazy. Because of her sudden scream, her maids who were waiting around her rushed into my room. Everyone was sleeping well, and when I screamed, I wondered if something was wrong.
“My lady! What are you doing!”
Among them, Emily, who still had tears in her eyes, came running first in surprise. As soon as she saw me frolicking with palm marks on my cheeks, she ran over and hugged me with her eyes moistened again.
“Calm down, lady! It’s okay. Are you okay! I am with Emily!”
It was a line he said to soothe me whenever tears flowed. When she was sad or when she was having a hard time, when she wanted to be comforted, Emily was always by my side, comforting me and saying things like that. But she said it was she who was moving my body now, not me. Of course, there were no memories of Emily in that body where my memories were not intact.
“Go away!!”
In a fuss that she couldn’t see, she finally pushed Emily, who was hugging her. Emily, emaciated from her recent heart troubles, was easily pushed… Pushed…
-Kung
The surroundings were full of silence. With a loud sound, Emily’s body fell helplessly to the floor. Her blood started to flow from her head. When she saw the blood, she roared around her, supporting her Emily and getting out of the spot.
In a short time, it was full of blood. Emily’s blood created a small puddle and filled the floor. Blood slowly spread to the surroundings along the marble floor. Seeing her blood in her, Emily stopped her too and shut her mouth.
Looking at me from the surroundings began to form one by one. I am not her But what she is moving is my body. Emily was hurt… Is it my fault?
Her head seemed to be stiff. I had the illusion that my thinking ability had stopped, all the blood had drained out, and my body had become cold. Her anger made her body tremble, and her gaze glared at her. The cold aura felt all over her made her riot and bite all her people.
All of my vassals withdrew at my command. She sat down on the floor as the people backed away and the door closed.
Why are you surprised? It’s me who should be surprised. I have something to be angry about. That body is mine I am the one who will marry Young master!
‘Get out of my body right now!!’
Once again, the mana moves naturally and is contained in my voice. At the sudden cry, she covered her ears and curled up, and soon her body lay on the floor as if she had passed out. Emily’s blood, which had been spreading all around me, reached my body and soaked her clothes.
And then my consciousness was cut off. When I opened my eyes again, I was lying on the floor.
As I returned to my body.
