Chapter 77 – Rest (2)
“Then I’ll come back.”
When I wrote down all the things I needed to buy on a notepad and said that while changing my shoes to go shopping, Hoa-ran said, “Ah,” And handed me a doll.
“Just in case, take this with you.”
“Uh… Yes.”
When I accepted the doll with three tails that Hoaran gave me, Hoaran said to me.
“If that’s the case, no matter what happens, it will buy us time.”
If this is the one that turns into the three-tailed Hoaran alter ego, I think it will be resolved by just beating them all up rather than buying time.
“But what can I do with this? “If something happens, can I just throw it away?”
“The child will take care of that, so don’t worry.”
The child will take care of it?
At that time, the doll that looked exactly like Hoa-ran that I was holding hit my chest with a loud thump and opened its mouth.
“Hoa-?”
“Wow, Mr. It’s a surprise.”
The doll talks.
I thought I knew what they meant when they said they would take care of it for you.
Anyway, when I let go of the doll that kept hitting my chest, I saw it whimpering and slipping into my pocket.
“Hoa.”
And Hoaran’s doll settles into my pocket with an expression of absolute satisfaction.
This may have been a spell, but looking at it like this, it looked like nothing more than a small creature.
In some ways, it looks a little similar to the whistling champ or something that existed in the world I lived in.
While they are so damn ugly, Hoa-ran’s doll looks exactly like Hoa-ran and looks cute.
“Then, please take care of me. “It’s Hanzo.”
“Ah yes. “I’ll be back.”
I left the house, receiving Hoaran’s farewell.
When I went to the supermarket near my house with the doll that Hoa-ran had given me to take with me just in case, in my pocket, I saw that there were not many people who had come to the supermarket since broad daylight on a weekday, and most of them were supermarket employees.
“Let’s see…”
I started buying the things that Ho-Aran had told me to buy, one by one, checking his notepad.
By the way, all of them seem to be good for the body.
Almost all of the things I had already put in my shopping cart were vegetables, mushrooms, etc. I ate it all without making a fuss, but it felt like Lilith would say something like this.
Lilith doesn’t really choose to eat it, but she does say that she only eats grass.
As I was roughly taking care of Lilith’s share of meat and beer, Hoaran’s doll appeared out of my pocket.
“Hoa?”
“Huh?”
What?
As I was looking at the doll nervously, wondering if something had happened, the doll jumped out of my pocket and landed on the floor.
Oh…
Hero Landing.
The only thing that looked like was a small, chunky Hoaran, so rather than being stylish, it was just cute.
Anyway, I watched to see why, and I saw a doll walking briskly and picking something up from the stand.
“Hoaa!”
“Do you want to buy this?”
“Hoa.”
It seemed like there was something he wanted to buy.
No, but.
Wasn’t this just a doll?
I tilted my head as I looked at Hoaran’s doll, which was full of free will, and then the doll jumped up and grabbed what I was trying to put in my shopping cart instead.
And I wondered what this was, so I checked it out.
“Fox Married Woman…”
What.
Did you like the name fox?
There isn’t anything in particular that Hoaran told me to buy.
Well, anyway.
“Hoa…?”
As I was quietly picking up the fox breast and looking at it, I saw a doll that looked just like Hoa-ran looking up at me, so I just put it in the shopping cart.
It’s not that expensive, and there’s a lot of tofu and other things to eat, so it’s okay to buy at least one.
“Hoa…!”
“Okay, okay.”
He happily grabbed the hem of my pants, picked up the jumping doll, and put it in his pocket.
What else is left now…?
When I checked my notepad, there were a few things that made me wonder what this was all about.
“Jade Peak’s honey? A hundred years? Make it? “Are these things sold at the supermarket?”
The only thing I was familiar with was Okbong’s honey.
Like Arachne, was it high-quality honey produced by a race with the characteristics of insects, or more precisely, a race with the characteristics of bees?
I knew it was quite expensive.
I wondered if it was in a small supermarket like this, but since they told me to buy it anyway, I decided to look for it and looked around.
And, I saw a familiar face.
“Ah.”
Sati must have seen me from over there, her eyes wide open.
Suddenly, Sati came running towards us.
And then, in the blink of an eye, Sati came towards me, grabbed my hand, and dragged me somewhere.
“No, what is it?”
As I said that while being dragged by Sati’s hand, Sati said as she pulled me towards her.
“What would you do if you were in a place like this?!”
“No.”
What did I do?
I just came here to buy groceries.
Come to think of it, Sati said something strange in the text message.
Are you saying you’ll run away with me?
I wondered why this was happening, but it didn’t seem like Sati was going to do anything to me, so I decided to just go ahead and be dragged by Sati.
Even if the Gift was manifesting anyway, there was no way I could resist Sati’s strength.
Anyway, after dragging it on like that, we ended up in a place where only employees could enter, a place like a warehouse where only employees could enter. It was only then that I saw Sati sighing as she looked around.
“What on earth is this?”
“What is it about you, brother, that you’re so carefree?”
“No, what did I do?”
“Yeah…”
Gulp, Sati said with a scared look on her face for some reason.
“You… Didn’t know that Lilith was looking for her brother?”
Lilith is looking for me?
But why…
Ah.
“I don’t know what the accident was, but if you’re caught here, you’ll be in big trouble! Lilith even came to me to tell me to contact her when she finds her brother…! Well, there are also rumors among other people that Lilith stopped by looking for her brother… Anyway, you shouldn’t be here…!”
“No.”
Apparently, when Lilith went looking for me, she also stopped by Sati.
Sati, who didn’t know the relationship between me and Lilith, seemed to misunderstand that I was being chased by Lilith because of an accident.
But.
Sati was scolded by Lilith once, so she deserved it.
One of Lilith’s jobs was to catch and educate misbehaving bitches, so that may have also played a role.
As I was thinking about how to resolve the misunderstanding, Sati took money out of his pocket and handed it to me.
“Right now, I haven’t received my salary yet, so this is all I have… For now, hide somewhere with this. “I’ll come find you after work, so in the meantime…”
The money was tangled up as if it had been in the pocket for a long time.
I looked at Sati who said that as she handed me money worth less than a few thousand won.
The situation arose due to a misunderstanding.
At least from Sati’s point of view, I was being chased by Lilith, and in the meantime, she was giving me a small amount of money to hide me.
By the way, it seems like he didn’t really know what was going on in the world after spending his days sleeping on the streets.
I looked at the tens of thousands of won in my hand and told Sati.
“You can’t rent a room anywhere with this, dude.”
Sati muttered, looking very intimidated by my words.
“Are you too little…? Still, that’s all I have right now…”
“No, there is no need. From the beginning…”
Lilith didn’t come to harm me, and the matter had already been resolved at that time.
But I was a bit frustrated because I had no idea how to explain that to Sati.
To put it bluntly, everything could have been resolved if I told her that Lilith was my mother… But no matter how I could trust Sati, in this world, there might be someone with the ability to retrieve memories.
Right now, I was being attacked by some crazy bitch because I was Lilith’s son, but I couldn’t let Sati get involved in that.
Therefore.
“…It’s really no big deal. It was just related to my work, so you don’t have to worry. “I sent you a text message earlier, but didn’t you see it?”
“You said you sent a text message…? That’s because cell phone use is prohibited while working…”
Are you saying I can’t even use my cell phone while working?
Employee welfare is worse than I thought.
Should I change my favorite supermarket?
At that time, I heard a growling sound coming from Sati in front of me.
The sound was so loud that it was hard to think I heard it wrong. I looked at Sati, and she blushed at my gaze and opened her mouth.
“Ah, this… This… It’s because I haven’t eaten yet, so don’t look at me like that…!”
“No, wait a minute.”
Since I hadn’t received my salary yet, it was Sati who barely gave me a few thousand won.
To begin with, not long ago, I was a bitch who would walk around the streets, raiding dispensers and getting food.
So, I asked.
“Are you eating properly?”
“…They provide lunch here? And, sometimes… I even pick up and eat things that have cooled down for tasting purposes… Oh, it’s really rare, so don’t get me wrong… I also give them some that are discarded, so that’s it…”
“Not that one?”
“…”
Puuk, Sati lowers her head.
No…
You really live in such dire straits.
Why is this kid living such a sad life?
When I first met her, my impression was that she was just a bitch, but I don’t know why she’s becoming more and more of a bitch.
I don’t even know how I ended up being this bitch’s master or something.
He sighed and gave the money he had received from Sati back to Sati and said.
“Anyway, I don’t need this, so take it back. “You just follow me.”
“Uh, where?”
“I’ll give you food, so follow me.”
“Rice…? But, I’m still working…”
Sati blushes at my words.
When I saw Sati like that, I frowned and said,
“No, not that rice, you pervert bitch.”
Not that rice, real rice, you bitch.
I roughly dragged Sati and arrived at a small place in the supermarket that sold simple food.
“Do you want to eat something?”
Well, there’s nothing special about selling it here.
It wasn’t a place that sold anything real, just something to fill your stomach.
However, since I couldn’t take my working child to eat outside, I had no choice but to make do with this.
“Ah… Then…”
Sati, who was secretly watching me, looked at the menu and spoke carefully.
“Um, banquet noodles? “That’s all I need…”
“You bitch.”
When they told me they would buy me food, I chose the cheapest one and sat down.
Did you turn around?
I was a bitch who didn’t know how to live in the world.
Normally, in times like this, I would put an iron plate on my face and buy something that looks reasonably expensive.
“Here’s your order.”
“Yes~”
On Sati’s behalf, I ordered roughly the right amount, and Sati spoke to me.
“Aren’t you buying me something too expensive…?”
“It’s not that expensive, right? If you’re really sorry, I need to buy something later. Could you help me find it? “You know this well because you’re an employee, right?”
I had no idea where to find Mandragora or Hundred Years of Water.
Maybe they just don’t sell it here, but that’s just what I said.
Rather than thinking that he is getting something for free, Sati will feel more at ease if he says this.
“In that case… Yes, I will help you.”
Sati nods her head at my words and says that.
The food I ordered came out without a long wait.
Did I order too much?
I was annoyed by what Sati was doing, so I ordered roughly, but there was quite a lot of food that came out.
“…You can eat it all, right? For your information, I can’t eat after already eating.”
“…Uh, it seems a bit…A lot…”
Seeing Sati muttering that while looking at the food on the table, I spoke again.
“You can eat it all, right?”
“I’ll eat…”
Sati responds to my words with a tearful expression on her face.
In the end, with the help of Sati, who ate all the food ordered, I was able to safely buy the Mandragora and the Hundred Years of Water or something, so I thought it must have ended well.
