Chapter 45 : Side Talk : Schiller’s Journey

After going around in a big circle, Aileen seemed to have circled back to where she started.
Although she really didn’t want to admit it, she seemed to have… gotten lost again.

She looked up at the spider that seemed to be trying to sneak away. The spider’s movements abruptly stopped.

“I can’t just make a trip for nothing and come back empty-handed…”

“Tell me, although a demonic beast of your level isn’t worth much, I still need an excuse, right?”

An excuse for her late arrival.

Her smiling eyes, reflected in the spider’s compound eyes, were so terrifying to the spider.

“I can’t help it. I can’t spend so much time and have the Young Master say I did nothing!”

“No, no, performance… you are the proof of my performance.”

Passing through the long tunnel of the Viscount’s manor, one would reach the wilderness.

It was late at night, and this seemed to be a desolate place where not even a single person could be found.

It seemed that this was a tunnel used for escaping.

The occasional roar of wild beasts sent a chill down his spine.

“Cold… so cold!”

To be honest, Schiller was wearing nothing at the moment. Walking in the wilderness was pure suicide.

But he had no better choice.

There was only one chance to escape. If he missed it, there might not be a next time!

“Anyone… anyone…”

He had been calling out intermittently for a long time.

But let alone human voices, he couldn’t even find any trace of humans.

“Where, where did this take me?!”

Regardless of the continuously dropping body temperature, he hadn’t eaten for a long time.

The last time he ate was when Sheryl fed him mouth-to-mouth—no, his memory told him that it must have been a memory confusion caused by eating green mushrooms.

“So hungry…”

His pace did not stop. Once he stopped, he might face real death.

“Reincarnated in another world, only to die of starvation in the wilderness?”

That would be too funny. If word got out, he would be laughed at for two streets.

The extreme hunger caused his brain to lack oxygen, so much so that he almost missed the flash of light in the distance.

“Light?”

Schiller’s eyes widened. He summoned his last strength and ran towards the light.

He gradually saw that it was a village, and a room at the head of the village was emitting a dazzling light.

He disregarded his image, quickly came to the door, and pushed it open.

“Give me some food, benefactor, ahhhhhh!”

He slammed the door shut.

He suspected he had seen it wrong.

Ophelia, that Ophelia was changing clothes inside.

“Could it be that heaven knows I’m about to die and has specially granted me one last moment of happiness?”

Then, the door opened halfway. A stunningly beautiful blonde girl poked her head out, her cheeks still red from shyness.

“Traveler? You, you wait! Let me change my clothes!”

Schiller lost all his strength and means, and just fell straight to the ground.
