chapter 22
22. The saintess knocks on the door of the general store (5)
Fran’s two cheeks are flushed after she washed them dry.
Her damp, white hair was shining like silver hair.
The eyes are so big and clear.
‘It’s so f*cking cute.’
I changed into the clothes I brought, but the T-shirt must have been a little too big, and the neckline was dangerously exposed.
The unfocused and blinding eyes are quite menacing.
If I hadn’t known the future that would happen when I touched him, I wouldn’t have been able to resist his temptation either.
“Eat food.”
After a brief scan of his body, I quickly turned my eyeball to the table and patted the seat in front of me.
I meant to sit here.
It was Fran’s first time to go up to the second floor of the general store, so she looked around and sat down at the place I told her to, awkwardly.
‘It seems like my mentality has come back quite a bit.’
The eyes still seem to have a taste, but they are much better than before they were washed.
It is fortunate that having the child wash in warm water was effective.
If I had been in the previous state, I wouldn’t have shown interest in the second floor.
“What is this?”
Fran, who was still in a bad condition, looked at the table and tilted her head.
“Can’t you see it? It’s rice. Eat it.”
“Am I?”
“Are not you hungry?”
“I’m not going…ah.”
Growl-!
The boy who said he wasn’t hungry roared loudly.
It was a signal to hurry up and push food.
Frank’s face was red, and he lowered his head.
“eat.”
“…thank you.”
The guy finally didn’t hesitate and sat down.
Grab a spoon and fork and eat eagerly.
I was hesitant at first, but after tasting it, there was no hesitation.
It seems to suit your taste.
After feeding, I planned to go to bed right away.
drooling-
“!!”
“I’m eating slowly.”
I was eating first, and because I usually eat fast, I finished eating and got up while Fran was eating for a long time.
When I suddenly woke up while eating, I told Frank, who was startled, to be relieved and went into the bedroom.
‘Because I can’t put my baby to sleep on my old blanket.’
I thought about whether I should sit with her until I finished eating, but I thought that the more urgent task was to clean the bedroom.
I collected the sheets and blankets that I was using normally, and took out new sheets and blankets that I had washed and put away before putting them on the bed.
‘good. That’s enough to match the girl’s sensibility.’
The color of the blanket I usually use is a dark maroon color.
I thought the girl was going to lie down, so I took care of myself and took out a bright ivory blanket.
Shaaa-
When I went outside, Fran was washing the dishes.
I was going to stop him because of his clumsy appearance, but I left it because I thought it would be okay to wash the dishes if he cooked me a meal.
‘I have to do something like that to come back to my senses.’
Compared to usual, it is true that the condition of the child is still not normal.
A more peaceful and ordinary time passes by than I thought.
I was full and my back was sore, so I felt sleepy.
Now that I am at this level, how can the francs I suffered today be worth?
Maybe I’ll fall asleep as soon as I lie down?
It won’t be much different.
“The bedroom is over there.”
“ah!”
After washing the dishes, I pointed to the bedroom at Fran, who was standing in a daze.
Frank hesitates as if he has heard all his 50,000 thoughts.
It was a good sign that there was such hesitation.
Because hesitation in a situation where I misunderstood that I was going to attack me means my mind is slowly coming back.
It was the best thing for me to say I wouldn’t go into the bedroom at all.
but…
‘I’m finally going in.’
After hesitating to see if he hadn’t recovered to that extent yet, he finally entered the bedroom.
Seeing that, I let out a sigh.
‘I gave a scenario that was too devastating to a kid with such a mentality.’
I don’t know who wrote the character for Fran’s scenario, but it was too much.
Due to the downside of falling into pseudoscience, the things that an innocent child has to deal with are too dreadful.
‘How much that weak mentality would be torn if I knew that I did not do prostitution for the sake of the church, but was forced to do so by the church.’
They probably don’t even know what they did in the church yet.
That is the red truth that blackens the franc secondly.
It’s also a secret that’s better not to know right now.
“I’m tired.”
It was getting late, so I decided to get ready to go to sleep.
After washing, I went to the place where I had prepared a bed for the futon and lay down.
“Huh.”
I thought that if I didn’t go in, he would sleep in his bedroom.
I was very tired today as I was paying attention to him.
As soon as I put my face on the pillow, sleep came over me, so I immediately closed my eyes and fell asleep.
rustle- rustle-
chin!
Had it not been disturbed, it was a good night’s sleep that I would have been able to rest well until the next morning.
However, I felt a hint in my sleep, which had been brightened by my long mercenary life.
Before I could even open my eyes, I grabbed the unknown object that had been pretending to be there.
Then, when I opened my eyes, I could see that it was still dark around me, that it was not long before I fell asleep.
“what.”
“Oh, mister…that’s me.”
light years?
“franc?”
“yes.”
“what’s the matter?”
If you go to bed, you will sleep peacefully.
Why wake a sleeping person?
“I was told to go into the bedroom, but the man didn’t come.”
“Should I even take care of sleeping?”
“…I didn’t come here to sleep. I was waiting for you to come in?”
“If I don’t come in after waiting, I’ll go to sleep thinking it’s because. Why do you come here?”
I don’t want to explode my head on you and die?
This is a saint who has awakened and goes to the academy, and I am a commoner.
A commoner can never beat an awakened aristocrat.
It’s possible for him to go crazy and explode my head.
“That’s what we’re here to do.”
“Ah~ I suddenly don’t want to do it.”
“Where is that?”
“I’m here. I’m not going to go in because I don’t want to do it, but isn’t it something you’re forcing me to do?”
“You’re supposed to hug me today. You have to keep your promise.”
“You moved it by hugging it. Just put it together.”
“How do you put it together with that!!”
Even in the dark, Fran’s white rice cake face was clearly visible.
Filled with dissatisfaction, he was glaring at me cutely.
If such a cute kid throws a punch, 8 weeks of pregnancies will come out, right?
It was terrifying and gave me goosebumps.
“Go and get some sleep. I’m tired.”
“…Are you tired and can’t do it? Shall I restore your strength?”
“You’re going to use your powers on me? That’s illegal, man.”
Do you even want to blow my head out like that?
“Then what should I do?”
“Go to sleep.”
uncle is sleeping
Fran did not think of going back to the bedroom with her lips pouted as if she didn’t understand what I was saying.
“Are you going to keep watching?”
“Is it because you use it to recover your stamina?”
“It’s illegal. To make someone a criminal.”
“Is it a crime to use physical recovery on an acquaintance?”
“Why am I your acquaintance? Do you know me?”
“Seeing.”
In order to live, I made the words a little sad, and then I tried to cry again.
“I don’t have money to pay the fine. If you really want to use your skills like that, did you talk to the broker?”
“Huh? Mister, do you know any brokers?”
I deliberately brought up the broker, but it staggers me to bite the bait.
Lightyear’s interest shifted to money.
If you think about the next scenario, you must have already thought about brokers.
“Why are you a broker?”
“I need money.”
“It’s a spectacle. It’s a spectacle. Don’t you run after a man to be hugged, don’t you wake up a sleeping man to ask for a hug? Now that you need money, do you want me to introduce you to a broker?”
“Eww…”
“How far are you going to fall into the dead end?”
“Ah, you don’t care. He said he didn’t know you.”
This guy now even refutes what I said.
My mind seemed to have recovered quite a bit.
“All brokers are raw bullies. Don’t get involved with them. That’s good for you.”
“Your uncle told you to go to the broker first.”
“You’re kidding, man! Are you serious when you say you want to die?”
“…..”
“If you want to make money, it’s better not to get involved with brokers. Those bastards give money at first, but don’t pay later.”
“why?”
“They take your illegal treatment as a weakness and threaten you.”
“!!!!”
Fran, who didn’t know much about the world yet, looked shocked.
“Did you do what he introduced you to?”
“It doesn’t matter. They just want to make a lot of money using you.”
The world of adults is so heartless and terrifying.
“Moreover, a kid with no belly like you is a perfect prey for brokers. If you don’t pay any money later and just draw out your abilities, there won’t be any problems. Oh! Did you know that if you tell the academy, the enlistment period will be extended? They know that and threaten you. will do.”
“…How could you do something so frightening?”
Fran heard me and came to my side, as if she was really scared.
I quickly covered my chest with both arms and said.
“Hey, should I keep my distance? I’m starting to get scared.”
“Yes? Are you afraid?”
The person you should be afraid of right now is yourself, but what kind of weird noise are you talking about?
But I meant it from the bottom of my heart.
Aren’t men and women tightly packed in a small space?
No wonder I should be scared in this situation.
“Then, isn’t it scary to be with an Awoken who is aiming for my body in a room that is blocked on all sides?”
“mister!”
I would like to keep some distance if possible.
Because I’m genuinely afraid that I’ll appear in my dreams.
“Then can you please stop touching me?”
“Oh, no. I don’t mean to!”
“A guy who doesn’t mean to do that comes over tonight and threatens why he won’t come into your room?”
“Hee!”
Even if you think about it, it seems that there are many things that are stabbed.
Shocked by my words, Frank’s mouth widens.
After gently pushing away the hardened body with one index finger, I pushed my body towards the corner of the room.
Pretending to look at him as scary as possible.
Seeing that, Fran screamed! and screamed.
“How about moving places for now?”
This was a very unfavorable place for me.
“It’s not really like that! It’s not really!”
“Okay, let’s move somewhere.”
“Not really! Trust me.”
“I’ll trust you, so you go first.”
“Turn it off…”
At this moment, I think it would be nice not to have skin contact with him.
Actually, Fran, who didn’t show it off, but wearing my T-shirt was quite dangerously attractive from earlier.
I jokingly said that I was afraid that you would attack me, but the truth was that I was worried that I would attack him.
I didn’t want my head to explode at this age.
