Chapter 27 - 27- Getting an Assistant?
Olea looked at me for a fleeting moment before folding her arms and legs, taking an uncaring stance, clearly ignoring me with her closed eyes, uninterested in further having a conversation, given we will soon enter the second layer of the capital city and she would most probably leave.
"I would take my leave then, Young master," and as expected, with finally entering further, Olea did the same and leaned before the carriage halted and exited with that greeting which doesn’t hold a bit of respect.
I guessed this much considering the ghost sect existed in this layer of the capital city with other assassins, information guilds, etc.
Not that she was going to visit her sect first, considering, if I think correctly, then she would first go to the princess to inform all these things, just to get herself another layer of favor from her.
After all, her speed would be far superior to this carriage.
’Simply a smart yet self-centered woman running after her revenge, and to achieve it, going as far as she can.’
[Even onto your bed too, correct, Host?]
’.....’ Suddenly, the system’s words caused my eyes to instinctively follow her exit, lowered as I noticed her plump cake curves, which were well proportionate and alluring before lifting my eyes only to see her giving me a cold glare.
"Ahem, Yes, I will meet you on the wedding day."
Clearing my throat, I assured before looking at her and realizing she just saw me peeking at her rear, ’Shut up, system, don’t distract me.’
I realized that due to the system stating such words, I distracted from my thoughts, focusing on her body rather than those eyes waiting for my gaze to lower, followed by my body being sliced.
’By the way, why can’t Olea see you, little one?’
Putting aside these things, I inquired to the little insect over my head.
Given how Milena was able to see her as a bat, evident from her scream at her sight, I wondered why Olea was not able to.
:: Little one? I am a reaper, human. ::
’Huh? Such softness in voice?’ Suddenly hearing a straightforward answer from that arrogant woman made me feel dreamy, causing me to lift my head, but unlike that scream I saw, she was elevating with her wings fluttering before flying forward within the carriage and taking the seat where initially only Olea sat, with the same posture.
:: Yes, I have finally decided to take you as my slave, being an owner— ::
’You must be eating poop to have such a shitty mouth, don’t you?’ With my mouth twitching, I heard how frankly she stated it as if it was a fact, and I had really become her slave while she acted as if it were a kind honor trying to give me some respect.
:: Humans do that, we don’t. ::
’....just give me an answer,’ hearing her stating the fact, I inquired, reciprocating her seating style as the carriage once again started to move.
:: So, it seems like I have become a fairy. ::
’....just give me an answer,’ like hell I was going to believe that nonsense, where I could clearly see that black cloth she wore, same black lipstick, and everything similar to when she killed me, with now added bat wings.
Of course, she was one of the most beautiful women one could see, but her personality overshadowed all her physical appearance.
:: You humans think all fairies should be like that green leaf one? ::
’....’ Hearing her again, talking like a wise person, opposite of how she acted naturally, made me close my eyes.
Given her face was in my line of sight, I would hardly be able to process any logical words uttered from her mouth.
But yes, she sometimes spoke like a wise person.
:: Oh, haha, I forgot, for you humans, ghosts or spirits don’t even exist; science does, lmao. ::
I changed my decision.
She is an idiot.
An idiot for not understanding that we don’t reject the fact of something’s presence but just need evidence to prove it, just like how gravity existed before it was proven theoretically, leading to hundreds of more discoveries based on it, creating a revolution just because humans understood what naturally was present beforehand.
It’s other thing that some pseudo-scientists have lost the meaning of science directly, rejecting the fact of fantasy ever being real; it is because they don’t understand science as evolving field.
But who cares, I am already in a fantasy.
"Young master, do you want to purchase some slaves?" came the voice from the carriage driver, making me look outside to notice that we had entered further into the capital city, exactly what I call the Mantle layer.
Even here, there were several individuals roaming around with chains and shackles in their hands.
This was the legal slave market of the capital city.
"No, why would I be interested in slaves?" There was nothing particularly remarkable that happened with Leon on his way toward the capital city, given that there were just small mentions, so wasting my time here would be futile.
"Oh, forgive me, young master, I thought you may need strong slaves for protection," again, the man called out, causing me to realize that unlike Leon, with whom the original plot came, that old man and those four members of the exorcism guild, this time he was alone.
This made the carriage driver state the basic behavior of any nobleman who, in the absence of strong guards, were suggested to purchase slaves who, at the proper time, could act as meat shields.
But the issue was, I didn’t have money to buy a slave, let alone purchase some food for myself.
I knew that mostly people kept their money stored in dimensional rings, but due to not having internal energy, I couldn’t even take out any money from the dimensional ring gotten from Kyle’s body.
"No, I don’t—" I was about to reject the fact and have this carriage begin moving considering I had some work to deal with before marriage which would be tomorrow’s next day.
"STOP! Leave me! You don’t know who—smack—ugh!"
Suddenly, a voice came just from beside my carriage, causing me to look and only to find a small thin boy with good enough face being just slapped by a fat woman, followed behind by two other handsome play toys of hers.
Yes, I would guess that they were play toys, considering the black leather straps they were tied with around their necks while held by one hand of the lady, even though they appeared decent with upper bodies revealing six-pack abs muscles.
Most probably that kid was just another of her newly bought slaves.
"Shut up, don’t embarrass me in front of so many people! What will they think, that I can’t even educate a filthy slave!"
That woman, with vibrant lipstick and a body that was hardly holding itself from exploding, I could clearly see that she most probably ate the dining table for dinner and broke chairs she sat on for breakfast.
’What to do....’
With the carriage moving and passing by, I looked towards that skinny boy, clenching his jaws.
I tried to ignore him, given that from my side I could not help him in any way, but somehow I still inquired, ’Show me his status.’
Who knows if I can find a treasure like those fortunate plots.
