As soon as Kylon left, what I did was put my ear to the door to see if he had gone into the next room.

After hearing the sound of the door opening and closing, I carefully hold the door handle, open it gently to avoid making strange noises from the hinges, and check the side.

Kailon must have gone back to his room and did not appear in the hallway.

Thinking of Kailon talking to Linda, I decided that he would probably continue the conversation almost as if he was caught because of Linda, so I picked up my bag and headed outside.

There is one thing I have to do now. It was to replenish the potions that were used up today.

However, since the knife I needed was confiscated and I had no means of replenishing it, I also had my own thoughts, so I moved forward.

After sneaking out of the hallway, I carefully checked that no one was around the inn counter and approached the inn owner.

“Excuse me, but can I wash the potion bottle somewhere with water?”

When I briefly showed him the empty potion bottle in my bag and asked, the inn owner nodded very naturally, as if asking me something obvious.

“Eoyu, you are a saint. If the saint says she uses water, we welcome it.”

“Oh, and… Can I borrow just one knife?”

“Of course. wait a minute… Here you go. You can just use it.”

“No. I will definitely give it back to you. thank you May God’s care be upon you.”

“Please pray for me… Thank you!”

There was no effect, but the innkeeper seemed happy as if the saint’s prayers would have an effect.

They say that using water is welcome, but it seemed like they thought that if I used water, it would turn into holy water.

I’m sorry to the innkeeper, but it was just a prayer using the etiquette I learned at the nuns’ training center, but it didn’t have any effect.

Right now, even though I prayed, I didn’t see any effect, so I was just a bastard using my blood to shuttle potions.

He thanked me so much, so I felt prickly and decided that the next time I got the ability, I would say a real prayer when I came back. I carefully put the knife in my bag and headed towards the water.

In this world without faucets, it was natural to collect groundwater and store it in one place before using it.

If you just listen to the explanation, you might think it’s very old-fashioned, but if you look at it again, you can see that it is half automatic and the water quickly grows long and flows through the hose, which reminds me of a very subtle scene.

Compared to the world where physical things are generally used to create things, it must be said that there is a strong sense of dependence on magic stones.

Anyway, I could say that it was very good in that I could draw water and use it comfortably.

I carefully put the empty bottles in the small basket and started washing the dishes. Since I didn’t have any other dish detergent, I scrubbed the openings with my bare hands until I heard a squeaky sound.

I didn’t forget to close the entrance after putting water inside and shake it around to rinse it.

After taking the clean empty bottles and a towel from the inn next to the bathroom, I went into the shared bathroom and looked inside.

The warrior told me not to do this, but if I really listen to him and do nothing, how will I be able to handle it when something like today happens?

I just couldn’t figure it out.

So, it would be better to do it secretly so that by the time he finds out, it is already too late.

Isn’t there a saying like this: If you find it difficult to get permission, ask for forgiveness after you commit it?

It was obvious that if blood splattered on my white clothes, I would be caught right away, so I folded the one-piece suit, like a dress, into a storage box and placed it inside.

I took off one by one and became naked, then took the empty bottle and knife and headed to the corner of the bathtub.

Washing would come later, but right now the priority was to keep water from mixing with the blood.

When I put the knife to my wrist, I felt nervous for some reason. I know I won’t die, but should I say that I don’t feel like doing it again?

When I was overcome with anxiety and started to feel itchy right away, I didn’t feel much emotion even if I stabbed everywhere with a knife, but it wasn’t easy to do this with a sober mind.

My breath is trembling.

But, weren’t you prepared?

I have to give up a lot in order to get out of this world, and for the true ending that may be the key to it.

So, I had to endure this pain with the thought that it would be less than the pain I would suffer if I were trapped in this world for the rest of my life.

The artery that bleeds the most at once.

But if you cut your wrist, that much blood would come out, and that wasn’t the case.

It was only by digging into the flesh between the two small bones, which seemed to come together when pressed as if to feel the pulse, that the artery could be severed.

Even this, if done incorrectly, could end up being painful and not touching, but there was nothing to worry about as it broke easily after a few hits.

I took a deep breath and then looked at the empty bottles in front of me. Perhaps my resolve wasn’t right, but the knife caught my eye as it only touched my wrist and couldn’t go any further than that.

“… this person… ”

Grind your teeth thoroughly.

“If you don’t do it, it won’t work. You saw it.”

I comforted myself.

“Kylon almost died from poison today. therefore… If we don’t do this, Kylon will die one day.”

For the ending, Kylon was needed.

And he also needed a heroine.

Therefore, I strengthened my resolve and strengthened my right hand, thinking that I should not let anyone die.

Then, with a vigorous burst of blood, the blood began to cover various places.

I felt tired for a moment, but quickly came to my senses and held the bottle to my wrist to collect the blood from the deep wound before it healed.

Perhaps it was because of the blood pressure, but the blood gushing out like a fountain quickly filled the bottles one by one.

After that, I filled all the bottles, put the lids on them, tried to open my tired eyes, roughly washed the outside of the bottle, and placed it gently on the storage box.

Then, when I returned, I warmed up the water as instructed in the magic stone’s instructions, went in, and enjoyed my first bath in a long time.

A feeling I hadn’t noticed in a long time since I used cleanliness magic all the time covered my body, and I lay down comfortably and let my body rest.

It was really refreshing to take a bath after a long time. However, no matter how many times I wiped my wet hair with a towel, it would not dry properly, so I was so frustrated that I ended up having to bring two towels.

I had already taken off everything, so I was wearing only my underwear and a saint’s robe, putting my stockings and garter belt in my bag, and as I carefully turned to return to my room, I saw Kailon knocking on the door from my room with his eyes narrowed.

“… Veronica?”

No, why are you there? Isn’t it time to fuck Linda?

As I narrowed my brows at that thought and looked at his back, he seemed to think I had disappeared and tried to head somewhere with a grim expression on his face.

If this continued, I had no choice but to call him out because I was worried he might think I ran away alone.

“… Ah yes. I’m here… ”

He probably didn’t know that I would come out from behind, but he was startled and then looked at me with wide eyes and cautiously opened his mouth.

“Uh, where have you been? ? Oh, to wash up… ?”

He looked puzzled for a moment, but then he noticed my wet hair.

The fact that I came back after washing.

He nodded, erasing the grim expression he had made earlier as if he understood, then lowered his gaze for a moment. I tried to hide it as much as possible, but in the end, I felt my eyes fixate on the bag that had been lifted.

“But why the bag…? ”

Thinking that he would easily start asking me questions the moment I let him into the room, I answered indifferently.

“I want to pack some of my clothes. I have bare legs now, will you understand?”

I usually wear stockings and a garter belt to reduce the exposure of my legs, but right now, since I had just washed, there was no need to wear them, so I put them in my bag.

As I indifferently exposed my legs through the side-slit skirt, he just kept his mouth shut and stared at me.

“… … .”

“… If I have nothing to do, I’ll go. I want to get some rest.”

“Do you need a change of clothes?”

He, who had never given me a change of clothes until now, told me that he was giving me a change of clothes for the first time.

I knew full well why he didn’t give me a change of clothes in the first place.

Because the difference between wearing dull clothes and pure white clothes was clear.

They said it was suitable to be used as a means to find out whether I had harmed myself or not.

So even now, I purposely went into the bathroom to fill up the potion.

Unless he was trying to see this bag, he wouldn’t have even dreamed of it.

How could you possibly think that I would take off these clothes and cut myself with a knife?

Anyway, since he was doing me a favor, I had no reason to refuse it, so I smiled and nodded.

“Really? I like it.”

“Then wait a moment… ”

Uh, wait a minute, why are you looking at the angle where you would naturally enter my room?

No, Kylon, you have Linda. I have Agnes and Flora to date in the future, so why do you keep wasting your time on me like this?

Although I complained a lot inside, I had no choice but to say I understood and open the door.

The moment I entered the room, Kailon took a quick look at the room and then spoke to me.

“… Give me the bag.”

I heard you’re really quick-witted.
