Chapter 0 – 0. Downfall
“It is destined to become a nest for wounded birds. If you refuse to receive it, all the birds will die.”
On the way home after drinking alone after work.
The answer given by a pretty, white-haired, red-eyed fortuneteller to a question asked at a fortune-telling shop where I stopped by to kill time.
I was dumbfounded and asked back.
“Are you saying the poor woman is being screwed? If I don’t accept those women, will they all die?”
“Well. I don’t know that either, right? “I’m just reading the fate in a crystal ball.”
“Nothing appears in the crystal ball?”
“Brother. “If anyone sees that, would I make a living through fortune-telling?”
A fortune-teller who slyly walks away.
Indeed, he is a fortune-teller who makes a living by packaging meaningless words.
Anyway, the poor women are in trouble…
I don’t hate it, but it feels like something I’m extremely obsessed with.
And above all, the reason why I can’t like it.
The woman I have in mind right now is far from pitiful.
‘Elavi Bibina’, the leader of the Knights Templar where I work as a pharmacy officer.
Born into a branch of a fallen noble family.
I graduated early from a knightly school known for being tough.
She lives here with great success.
She is a heroine among heroines who everyone nods to, saying that even if her background had been a little better, she would have taken the elite course and risen to a much higher position.
Among her achievements was the complete eradication of a large group of thieves that had long been a scourge of the Kingdom of Osiris.
Also, they rescued me from being a slave in the thieves’ stronghold, and accepted the medicine-making skills that the thieves forced me to learn, saying they would be useful.
Suddenly, I flew into this world.
Unfortunately, I was caught by a group of thieves passing nearby.
She sleeps only two hours a day and makes medicine until her hands are all swollen.
Instead of living an exciting life in another world, the days were like a sick chicken waiting for the day to die.
Bibi, who saved me from that hell and even provided a way for her to earn a living, is truly a lifesaver.
In addition, she has a neat and elegant beauty, a gentle and calm personality, and she also has her own charisma when working.
I can’t like it.
Of course, ‘Captain! I don’t follow her around shouting ‘I love you!’
Just ‘a benefactor who must be repaid throughout one’s life’ and ‘a superior worthy of loyalty.’
It is a blue flower on a cliff that cannot be approached as a romantic object.
In the first place, she has no intention of dating right now.
I’m so busy, what kind of love…
… But what.
Isn’t it time to start thinking about women again?
Since being rescued from the bandits, she has had no idea how to adapt to life in this world and work as a pharmaceutical officer.
But now I am quite relaxed.
She has adapted well and has quite a bit of money saved.
Poor woman…
Is it possible to fall in love with a pretty slave woman?
Not bad.
Well, I guess the dots are right in the first place.
Even in this world where magic and different races are commonplace, fortune-telling is the realm of superstition.
“It was fun. Fortune-teller sister. I’ll go there soon. Here’s Bokbi.”
“Thank you. “You don’t tip?”
“Good luck~”
“You’re narrow-minded!”
When I returned home, I immediately fell asleep.
And of course, tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, writing.
As the days pile up, you almost forget that you even saw your fortune.
Bibina was arrested for treason.
