Baby Pharmacist Princess

In a series of incomprehensible situations, tension gripped my body tightly.

Is this a forced entry into a game?

A secret event?

“You were told to listen well if you want to eat sugar cubes, right? Why can’t you do something simple? I told you to walk on your own feet, didn’t I?”

Ignoring the nonsense coming from above, I slowly shifted my gaze to look at my hand.

Small.

It was a hand so small it could be mistaken for a squirrel’s snack-sized one.

…But why does it have to be so small?

[♡Warning♡]

Payment approval denied, resulting in penalties. Due to exchange rate differences, the payment amount increases tenfold.

Debt: 100 billion gems.

Hey, who gave permission for this?!

Stunned, I looked around for the self-destruct button but couldn’t find it anywhere.

What’s even more absurd is the content of the next notification that popped up.

[♡Administrator Message♡]

Dear ‘Debtor,’ it has been confirmed that you have already purchased and used the item. Therefore, cancellation of the purchase due to mere change of mind is impossible!

Upon repayment of 50% or more, your title will change.

We will provide consolidation support, so cheer up and break free from the ‘Debtor’ title with 100 billion gems! Fighting♡

If I had an ancestral spirit, now would be the time for them to burst out wielding a red alarm stick.

A chilling sensation shot up my spine.

It was like a splash of cold water waking up my senses.

“This is insane!”

100 billion… 100 billion… 100 billion…

The overwhelmingly ominous number flashed before my eyes relentlessly, as if it would never disappear even if I closed my eyes.

While the unit is a special currency called ‘gems’ used for buying items in the game…

“Are you ignoring me right now?”

“Eek!”

Just then, a buzzing fly-like creature got agitated and grabbed me by the hair.

I had forgotten about the shock of 100 billion for a moment because I was being harassed by this brat, how ironic.

I was about to shout at the kid who was clueless, but at that moment…

“…Alexandra?!”

I couldn’t help but shout in surprise at the familiar face.

Young Alexandra furrowed her brows and covered her ears.

Despite her young age, she had a sparkling beauty.

Almond-shaped eyes with a mischievous expression.

That’s Alexandra, indeed.

“But the game starts at 15 years old!”

There’s no way you can see characters as young as this. There has never been such an illustration!

“Can’t you get a grip on yourself?”

In the midst of this nonsensical situation, as I was lost in thought, young Alexandra picked up a saddle that had been lying on the table.

Suddenly, I realized that I couldn’t just stand still like a fool; a strong realization hit me.

At the same time, another notification popped up.

[♡Transfer of Memory for ‘Cherishe Wynn Castalia’ Completed♡]

‘I am Cherishe Wynn Castalia.’

Instantly, my body stiffened as if losing control.

In just one second, thousands of pieces of information poured into me without time to think.

Some were vivid as if I had experienced and felt them myself, while others were fragmented memories.

The strange thing was, I was starting to feel more and more like Cherishe myself.

‘Ah, memories of being harassed are coming back.’

As I sat there in a daze, memories of Alexandra, who poked and prodded at my numb head, came to mind.

The guards were no different.

If you stayed still, they’d call you stupid and walk past you, and if you couldn’t speak, they’d call you a mute.

Of course, they were no different from servants.

They forcefully grabbed my body, washed me roughly, and dressed me against my will.

Castalia is a country where the aristocracy is deified.

Even at the age of four, you should be able to use magic, speak, and read difficult books, but because I couldn’t, I ended up being labeled an idiot.

I couldn’t even tell anyone because I couldn’t speak.

[Consolidation Completed♡]

Thump.

I gasped for breath, clutching my chest.

One thing was certain amidst all this chaos.

‘I need to escape from Alexandra right here.’

I should find a safe place first and then carefully examine my situation.

Fortunately, I wasn’t completely clueless about this world.

Memories of playing the same game for eight years were still preserved within me.

‘To be more precise, it feels like Cherishe’s personality and Yoon Chaeri’s imagination have merged.’

As soon as I thought that…

Boink.

[♡Tutorial Mission♡]

‘Debtor’ Cherishe has been hit by Dragon Heart in reverse.

Truly the weakest! First place in frailty! Find a way to escape from the furious Alexandra.

♡Failure Results in: Game Over

‘This… This is a real game.’

I didn’t quite understand how this happened, but for now, I waited calmly for Alexandra to approach.

“Did you suddenly come to your senses? Good. I’ll tell you what to do. Ride me and crawl through the corridor.”

Did she think I was trembling with fear? It was amusing to see her acting all bossy.

‘Who do you think will do as you say?’

I focused my mind and endured a bit longer.

Closer.

Closer.

And just as Alexandra leaned down to saddle me…

Thud!

“What the heck are you doing?!”

“Ouch!”

It hurt!

I jumped up like a wild rabbit and slammed my head against Alexandra’s chin.

Honestly, it hurt so much that tears welled up, but I couldn’t afford to stay leisurely.

I had to escape now!

“Why, you… Don’t just stand there! If I catch you, I’ll kill you!!!”

“Phew.”

Despite Alexandra’s strength, saddling was not an easy task.

Why couldn’t the servants do it for me?

I realized your true nature the moment you tried to put such a heavy thing on someone younger than you.

‘This devil is unbearable!’

I knew your true colors when you tried to kill me after I dedicated myself to you.

Escaping hastily, I stood in the corridor and scanned my surroundings frantically.

There should be several empty rooms used as storerooms just around that corner!

But then…

‘A jester rabbit?’

A rabbit-like creature, similar to the one mentioned in the suspicious notice, appeared down the corridor like an illusion.

Even after blinking and looking again, it was the same creature.
