Chapter 50: Just a Tad Peculiar (pt.5)
In the midst of the knight’s intense rambling, it wasn’t his childhood friend slash liege who stopped him from continuing with his crazed murmuring any further– no.It was someone else. Or, to be exact, a certain soft yet unsettling yelp coming from the expected–“Little Human!”“Oh, hey!”Pam and Sam exclaimed in worry as the adventurer staggered a bit before rooting back on her spot while wiping the black substance that tainted her pale lips as if nothing significant ever happened. Or well, the young lady was definitely expecting this turn of events, looking at her terrifyingly calm demeanor.“What did you do?” While Cherry hastily helped Serein to get seated, Cevahir asked in suspicion because this disgusting smell he caught a whiff of was definitely not the smell of normal blood. Rather, it was the smell of rotting blood. There was no way he would mistake such a major difference.Injuries would usually lead the victim to let out some fresh blood unless it was contaminated by pois

Chapter 51: To Convey The Truth (pt.1)
The red path, known to be more of a trail for a one-man journey, was located in the neighboring kingdom led by a tyrant of a king. The path that originated from the Northwest side of the Blaphemos Woodland was undoubtedly closed off. No one ever dared to approach the entrance except for equipped officials who exploited their claim to the 'safe land.'Looking up to ask for confirmation of his second guess, he was met with another cough instead. Harsher this time, and it definitely made the adventurer lose more blood – if that nasty black goo still counted as blood anyway.“You idiot,” Cherry grumbled in annoyance to mask her worry. “Seirin-shi, you’re such an ignorant fool.”Glaring at the weary adventurer, the mage tried to use her healing magic to help the guide.“Aye, it’s fine. There is no need.”Serein waved her free hand in dismissal, trying not to croak out her reply and tainting her own words with a rasp that would definitely cause these people to give her even more unnecessary

Chapter 52: To Convey The Truth (pt.2)
Dawn arrived, and the first thing that Serein noticed was the black line flowing down from her nose– it’s dripping.‘A nosebleed?’Followed by that, she then realized the aching she felt all over her joints.“Uh-huh…”Well, either way, after wiping the abnormal nosebleed away, she tried to stand up as discreetly as she could while testing the limit of her motoric control.Seems like she won’t be able to do anything extreme with her current poor condition.‘Well, this sucks for sure.’Scoffing once she realized that she couldn’t even go as far as jumping without causing a brain-splitting headache, Serein was rethinking her whole reckless plan and was about to rearrange it to suit her current messed-up condition, but to her luck, she wasn’t as quiet as she had thought.“Serein-shi?”The knight, who seemed to awaken from his barely rested state– he woke up but looked very sleepy still– sat up and blinked away his sleepiness almost immediately to stare at the other silhouette in this dark

“Ah, our sleeping beauty is awake? I apologize for not noticing your holy presence, your highness.”Glancing, Serein could see the mage getting seated, presumably having been eavesdropping for a couple of moments ago from how stable her breathing was now compared to someone who supposedly just woke up from their deep slumber.“Cut the flattery, Serein-shi.”Cherry, who didn’t know the reference to ‘sleeping beauty,’ thought that it was mere flattery when it was more of a form of teasing from the adventurer. Not that it mattered much–“Back to my question, what’s with Sirens? Are you planning to hunt something that has vanished for the past decades?”—Well, technically, she’s not exactly right about this.After all, Serein did remember one Siren that was planned to be in her original novel. Though she had forgotten the Siren’s name and the exact timeline on when the MC should meet them, that adventurer remembered doing a lot of research about the said being before putting them into the

In the end, this was how the situation concluded as the morning came.“All’s good? Nothing’s left behind?”Serein asked as she turned to her two companions who nodded back at her in reply.“Good, I absolutely have no desire to see you punks here anymore. You better get out of my sight as soon as possible.”With crossed arms, Cevahir said so, and the two other humans were more nervous than the adventurer who seemed to be rather disappointed instead.“Are you really not going to leave this place, Cevahir-min? Like… Ever?”To which, that half-blood then eyed her sharply as he curtly responded,"Mind your own business, little girl. We are not friends; you'd better stop crossing the line while I'm still being kind."That was indeed the truth. Serein, despite having Aiston’s knowledge by her side, had no reason to push her request to either of the three draconic members to join her on this… Pretty much aimless journey.Well, aimless might not be the proper word to use here; however, she’s i

“...Um, Serein-shi?” The words quivered in the air, carrying the weight of uncertainty. Gil, the one-legged knight, hesitated, his voice laced with discreet nervousness. To him, the air around them seemed to tighten as he grappled with the consequences of their actions, his gaze shifting anxiously, fearing repercussions from the formidable dragon.“Aren’t we going to get… Terminated by Cevahir-min for… Well… This?” His whispers was so low, it was barely audible.He can't help but feel increasingly worried. His mind spirals, anticipating the worsening situation. After all, given Cevahir's proximity and protectiveness, that half-blood would undoubtedly hunt them down for abducting one of his little brothers soon.“What do you mean? We did nothing, though?” The corners of her mouth tugged upwards as her eyes twinkled in mischief, “He told us to leave without him, and that’s exactly what we did. We haven't committed any wrongdoing, so why would Cevahir-min hound us?Ah.Finally picking up

Chapter 56: Ruptured Respite (pt.1)
Although Serein has been calling them "Little Gremlins," the brokers aren’t exactly their childish, greenish counterparts. More sly and cheeky as they make deals with desperate humans, the brokers are more intelligent and actively seek victims who would easily fall for their precarious deals. Sometimes, they even work together with the tricksters, the gremlins, who love causing minor inconveniences to their targets. Nothing major, really, just letting the cage of the stocks open, dropping the jugs, or sometimes hiding things such as glasses. However, these small behaviors, more often than not, become the last straw for their prey. Perhaps the hidden thing was crucial at the moment; maybe the broken item was extremely expensive, or perhaps the stocks they had in the barn were their lifeline through the cold and harsh winter. In other territories, those minor and inconvenient losses might be recoverable, or even become a laughing stock at the bar. But in this kingdom? Where these p

Serein could hear the hooded creature smiling as he placed the clay tablets into a purple-ish portal next to him. The Broker’s smile went even wider as he then offered, “Now, dear customer, would you fancy some of these booster potions? Or maybe a couple of scrolls of ancient spells? The newest weapon in creation? Perhaps one made by the dwarves? An Elven bow, maybe? Or even a dragon’s heart~! I have everything you need! Restoration spell~? Reanimation potions~? From black magic, white magic, to the most unthinkable curses, you name it, and I shall provide~!”—Cheerful it might sound, but there’s something more going on behind the scenes, and that something is heavily manipulative.Hypnotism is probably the closest term there is since the brokers couldn’t go as far as brainwashing someone. That being said, they are able to pull back someone’s memory and replay it in their target’s mind as a ‘reminder’ and a motive for these people to buy more items from them.Serein wasn’t aware of th

Chapter 58: Ruptured Respite (pt.3)
“Have a nice day~!”Hearing the door close after she finished the transaction on the daggers, Serein heads to other places for her necessities, which include snacks and quick meals, various potions, and some raw herbs. After all, she can't trust all of the items she acquired from the Sage. In fact, she needs to exchange those ‘old currencies’ with the current era's money before she can use them. It’s not like she can buy loaves of bread with a ruby necklace or something. Serein also won't know whether the riches she inherited will be worth more or less now compared to the past. Many things have changed from ancient times already.‘The ideal scenario is if I am able to sell these jewelry to those who know the historical value of it; I'll be hitting the jackpot.’It’ll definitely make more profits that way, though the consequences of that are she might get jailed for fraud or may end up being suspected of stealing from someone else. She may even be accused of tomb robbery if she wasn’t

“Ah yes. That smell seems to come from that street-food stall over there. Would you like to have some? You’ve shared your meal before; it’s only right to return the gesture, right?” Serein asked in a casual tone, deliberately halting her steps, turning towards Cevahir as if seeking his opinion rather than that of the unseen being on his shoulder.“Yes! I’d like to try those good smelling food!”Serein couldn't suppress a smile as she observed Cevahir's lips twitching in annoyance. In that moment, a realization dawned on her, prompting a crucial understanding.‘He couldn’t say no~’And judging from how there was no wind before this, Serein could only assume that the smell was brought by the breeze caused by Aiston. She can easily tell that this is the help that the ancient spirit was referring to.Well, in any case, she’s taking the two hatchlings, Sam and Pam, as ‘hostages’ while Cevahir must have known that he couldn’t act recklessly with his distinctive magic. After all, why else
