Chapter 5
“The grandfather said this house was a blessed home. Every incoming landlord succeeded.” (t/n: i dont think she’s talking about her actual grandfather)
“That’s what the granddad said?”
“Yes! You don’t know how much you’ve been saying to me.”
“……”
“But I was surprised to find out about the ghost when we met a little while ago.”
Did you buy it without knowing…
She’s got a little sister, and I don’t think there’s a reason to come into that ruffian house.
A blessed house? Will you leave the house after all the success? Even the grandfather lied to the fullest. If I had sold such a thing, I wouldn’t have reduced the price of my house. This was the grandpa, the owner of the house, who turned a blind eye to the heroine. Unaware of that, Annmarie laughed as brightly as the sky.
“I guess there was a misunderstanding. I think he was worried about me, too, but I’ll let him know that he was mistaken next time I see him.”
…Is the heroine okay
Of course, there’s no such thing as ghosts in that house, so it’s okay to just live. But apart from that, I thought, how can she be so gullible, can she even get through this tough world. Oh, as it proves that a good man exists for the main character, in the ending part of the novel, her rich grandmother will get the inheritance and return their fortune.
So it doesn’t matter.
“I’m glad there are so many good people living in my neighborhood. Please take good care of us(she & her sister) from now on.”
I drew my lips along the bright woman in front of me and smiled thinly.
“Yes, me too.”
*********
“Hmm, I just want to move on.”
That evening, I looked out the window at the sunset and thought rather seriously. At first, I just didn’t want to worry about it, but as I went through the meeting with the heroine, I felt a steaming sensation. According to my experience, this instinctive intuition is not to be ignored.
“Eup!”
At that moment, a noise from under my feet disturbed my ears, but I ignored it. I saw the woman standing at my door earlier, and I could see her growling.(?) I have been thinking about Coco for a long time. It’s been a long time since my previous life’s memories came to my mind. Since I almost lost my feelings at the lab, I’ve been missing them. This feeling was similar to when I met Lakis Avalon. Maybe that’s why I liked the heroine a little bit……
“Woah! Ugh…”
“Oh, shut up, I can’t think.”
I was caught up in a feeble sentiment and then dragged back into reality. The person who was stunned under me was completely awake, and the noise from the eardrum became more intense. I glanced down and looked at the man I sat on. A man hanging in the air was shaking like a cocoon in a white thread. It was so disgusting that I still sat cross-legged on the man’s back and moved the thread holding his body to the ceiling. As the body began to shake back and forth in midair, the sound of quick breathing sounded inside the silent room.
“I like this house. The ceiling is high and the soundproofing is good.”
“Huh…”
“How much is a house like this? 5,000 gold coins?”
Before I knew it, all the men stopped fighting and were groaning to death. This was a mansion and a chapel. The distance from the ceiling to the floor was about 10 meters. So unless he was very unlucky, he wouldn’t die if he fell, but he was a terrible man.
Does he have a fear of heights?
“Well, if you’d listened, you wouldn’t have had any reason to be like this in the first place.”
Well, it wasn’t for me to know, so I swung the body of the man hanging in the air back and forth, appreciating the red evening scene outside the window. It was quite a leisurely and peaceful scene just like this, but it wasn’t the case at the bottom. People who came up to me, to protect the man, were lying on the ground in a pool of blood.
But don’t get me wrong.
I’m in the middle of a job right now. I meant that I didn’t have a hobby of playing games with people. My purpose today is to get some information out of this guy…
“Ah, I’m getting a little annoyed…”
Actually, I accepted it because it paid a lot of money, but this kind of request was a little annoying.
Pop.
I slowly began to reduce the number of strands fixed to the ceiling.
“I just want to make a commission to receive a fine payment.”
Snap.
As the thread broke and the body fell down slightly, the man’s breathing gradually became unstable. Finally, when there were only a few threads left on the ceiling, I casually lowered the white-faced man’s face and asked, looking at him.
“Mister, can’t you just tell me what I asked you for?”
Then my pedestal began to throb again.
“Eup! Eup…!”
The eyes that looked at me changed. I could feel the sincerity of what I said. I guess I finally thought of saying it. I loosened the mouth of the man I was blocking.
“No, the location where the document was hidden…”
He answered what I asked earlier with a shudder. The truth is that the man’s life was told to be spared by the client. But the man who didn’t know that was desperate. Fallen outside the large window that filled the wall of one side is now red. The man is more of a coward than I thought, so I could go home early today.
***
After a while, I walked alone through a narrow alley.
Come to think of it, dinner wasn’t ready. I’ll grab something when I get home. Then suddenly I noticed an old lady walking with a heavy load. There was no one else around. I turned my foot toward the line of sight.
“Grandma, let me help you.”
“Ayu, it would be heavy.”
I did not think it was that heavy because my body was strengthened when I was in the lab. If I had to do it, I would pull the thread out of my hand and support my weight. I could control the hardness and thickness of the thread I pulled.
“Thank you. I’m just here thanks to you. I’ll give you some of this.”
Thanks to the grandmother’s warm heart, I got two apples I hadn’t seen before.
“Thank you, granny.”
In fact, I don’t do these things because I had a strong sense of respect for adults or because I had a high sense of morality. Every time I take on a job request, I’ll do a little good thing. I was trying to make ends meet, but I knew it wasn’t really a good thing to do. So it was a decision. Of course I didn’t feel guilty about doing this.
After a while I went home and prepared for a late dinner. I was going to have a simple sandwich with fresh lettuce and tomatoes with the whole wheat bread I bought in the morning, and with bacon & sauce. In fact, after being at the institute, I didn’t have all the nutrients, but I was still eating all three meals. I took the groceries out into the kitchen, and I was about to cook them, but I suddenly slipped my hand toward the window. A half-clear white thread that stretched out according to my will penetrated the curtain.
Sfx! (it says ? ??! but i can’t find a translation)
As soon as I made a small gesture again, the thread moved and put a curtain on the window. The interior of the house quickly became dark because of the custom-made black curtains. This time, the thread that stretched to the other side lit the light. Of course, there was no electricity here, so it wasn’t a real light. It was a thing made by eastern alchemists. All household items, including food heaters, portable freezers and gas stoves, were created by alchemists in the east. Of course, its appearance was very different from the modern ones that I knew, but its use was similar. It was a very easy-to-use, semi-permanent structure, and even if an aristocrat paid a low price, it would still have been a huge success. The alchemist made a large quantity of goods and distributed them at a low price. So now you can see it among common citizens like me.
For your information, The great alchemist was one of the masters in the novel. Of course. I’m the one who didn’t have that much weight in the bull’s eye? Things on the market, named after him, had the abbreviation ‘DS’. Of course, he wasn’t my favorite male character in the novel. But it was true that life became convenient, so after praising him for a while, I started to make sandwiches again. The materials stitched on the slender silver thread danced alone in the air.
