Before “. You know the imperial nursery, right?”

“Yes… But they don’t accept people like me…”

Cecilia took out a card and wrote a recommendation.

“It will be different if you take this.”

The child blinked in embarrassment when he saw the pretty card handed to him.

“Thank you. Thank you, sister!”

I understood it too late and lowered my head.

After a while, the child left and Lamia opened her mouth.

“You are kind.”

“At least it caught my eye.”

“What a contradiction. Originally, orphanages were supposed to be places to protect such children, but orphanages throughout the empire are already places for nobles to abandon their illegitimate children.”

After some time, the girls started walking again. Cecilia’s steps stopped.

“Lamia. Hiding.”

“Hide.”

Even in sudden situations. Lamia acted familiar. She became invisible and slowly backed away.

“You’re not coming?”

A clear voice echoing in the empty air.

After a while.

The space shook. Soon, one by one, shadows began to appear.

“Hey, they’re rumbling like this to kill me. Did you follow me to a place like this?”

A girl who is only 10 years old spoke leisurely to the audience. She tilted her head, shaking her head, and her shiny platinum-blonde hair fell down. Unlike his shaking head, his eyes were coldly counting the number of assassins.

‘7 on the left, 9 on the right, and 4 waiting. A lot have come.’

Even the barrier that chases people…

“I guess my brother just hired a housekeeper for his money.”

“……”

“I would rather donate that money. Don’t you think so?”

It was a smile like an angel. However, the assassins surrounded her without saying a word.

“Well, I didn’t think there would be an answer. Still, I’m going to die soon, so I thought I’d listen to what I wanted to say.”

“……”

“I can’t help it.”

Cecilia grumbled softly.

At that moment, a sharp dagger flies towards Cecilia’s neck.

visor.

blocked by a transparent barrier.

Next, multiple swords rush in, targeting the girl’s vital points.

A sword strike clad in sword energy tore apart the barrier.

‘does not exist?’

The girl disappeared from the shooters’ sight.

“Special purchase… Did you spend some money?”

A leisurely voice was heard. Their gaze went up.

The girl with her back to the moonlight felt dreamy, but there was no hesitation.

Their swords flashed.

‘I can’t avoid it anymore.’

Multiple swords will tear the girl’s limbs apart.

White, thin fingers play in the air. By releasing stocked spells, your physical abilities increase significantly.

Kang.

“Shield…?”

The pure white barrier deflected the assassins’ swords. It was a turning blow. A blow that surrounds all sides with no way to avoid it, and can kill even an archmage. That’s what I decided. The little girl blocked it.

He then swung his sword, but the girl’s hands struck them even faster. The shoulder was dislocated, and an ice bullet pierced the temple of the pushed assassin.

Still, they did not back down.

“It’s sturdy…”

Despite her superiority, Cecilia frowned as if she did not like something.

The assassins exchanged looks.

‘It’s unbelievably strong. But I can reach it.’

The moment they rushed to the girl again, a different result occurred than before.

The assassins were astonished. The opponent clearly seemed to be quite well-versed in martial arts as a wizard, but that was all I thought.

“How can this be…”

They couldn’t finish their sentence. Cecilia’s fingers moved as if shaking her hands, and the sword energy that rose from them pierced their necks.

In an instant, more than 10 assassins were reduced to corpses, their throats cut and blood gushing out like a fountain.

“Crazy… Sword Master?!”

Of the 20 assassins, only 3 survived. The man was shocked.

That moment.

Hwiik.

Tuk.

The two assassins’ throats were cut off. It was a blade of wind that suddenly flew by.

“Hehe? Did you avoid that?”

Lamia appeared and spoke cheerfully.

“Lamia.”

Cecilia approached, smiling as brightly as a flower, but she backed away in disgust.

“Ugh! Cecilia is covered in blood!”

“……There’s nothing you can do.”

Cecilia grumbled and shook her hands.

Lamia watched her with warm eyes.

The sight of him puffing out his cheeks and shaking off blood was foreign, but he had no choice but to change like this in order to survive.

Even if others don’t understand, you must understand yourself.

Cecilia’s own mother, Cecilia’s nanny, was stabbed while protecting them when they were young.

“I’m just kidding.”

“Still, it’s too much…”

The assassin, hurt by their comical appearance, chewed his lip. The green-haired girl who appeared late was not ordinary. I barely escaped, but lost my arm. It was a time when I was wondering whether or not I should bite the poison hidden in my molars.

“Lamia hiding.”

“…”

Contrary to her playful appearance, Cecilia immediately hid herself as soon as she opened her mouth.

* * *

A black-haired girl walking down an alley illuminated only by moonlight. A harsh curse came from a woman who didn’t seem to be in a back alley like this.

“This is crazy!”

Knowledge of the original work. I thought it was perfect, but think again.

“Yes, yes!”

When you pass through a complicated alleyway like a maze.

“Huh…”

So, how do you get through those complicated maze-like alleys? right? left?

How many crossroads are there in the first place?

“Failed. I’m really screwed!”

It looks like he was so excited.

If you think about it, isn’t it obvious? It was my first time going out so far alone like this. But isn’t it nonsense to go there with only a description like that, let alone a map?

I heard that Yeoju’s sisters are doing well…

Could it be that I was a stray?

‘Shocking fact… no. It’s wrong to have such a dirty and complicated alleyway.’

Anyway, I don’t like the original author. I need to keep the map illustrations organized. At least write down the coordinates of the building!

“Phew.”

There is no use in getting angry.

“Yes!”

First of all, it’s a magic guild, so let’s use our senses to find it!

I closed my eyes and concentrated. I even released my hiding and spread my mana widely. After a while, I slowly opened my eyes.

“Huhuhu. Is it here? Is this here?!”

There is a barrier that seems to be blocking people’s approach, as if hiding something.

But who am I? He dreams of becoming an archmage who mastered 7 classes at the age of 5.

A barrier like this can be passed by as easily as breathing!

As I was about to walk, I heard a grumbling voice as if I had a lot of phlegm.

“Oh! what’s this. Where did this pumpkin come rolling around on a vine?!”

Pumpkin? No matter how you look at my face, it doesn’t look like a pumpkin. It’s a little hard to say, but it’s quite pretty. Is this really that? That event featuring parsley that the female protagonist frequently encounters? In a normal female lead, every time something like this happens, the male lead will show up and save the day, right?

It was amazing every time I saw it. Every time the female lead shows up in an alley where such nobles would never come, several subs appear and save her… If you think about it a little, isn’t that possible because of stalking?

As soon as we come out of hiding, we meet like this?

“Lady, no matter how you look at it, you seem like a noble person. What are you doing in such a shabby place?”

“Even gold coins are a good idea for us poor people… Wow… Your body is completely full of money! That jewel…”

“Why don’t you at least take off some of your clothes and go?”

To be honest, it was a bit surprising that I could experience such an event, but I wasn’t happy about it at all.

They’re like. They came and surrounded us like a flock of beggars.

Normally, in times like this, a cool older brother or older sister would show up and save the day, but I don’t want that from an extra subject.

“Young girl. When an adult speaks, you have to talk back!”

A voice scolding me. It’s been a really long time.

There were also descriptions of the people here.

I’m drunk and I’m addicted to drugs. They sold their house, sold their children, and are just living a miserable life.

“It looks like you haven’t figured out the atmosphere yet, and I don’t think there’s any escort there because they might sell it out, don’t you know?”

They paid attention to what a man said.

“Gulp. Really, should I do it? It’s going to be very expensive, right?”

“Drug price, drug price!”

The level of conversation became increasingly unpleasant. I just kept walking.

“Button, just one button is all you need!”

A skinny man reached out to me. It was as if he was going to grab me by the collar.

Ting.

“Ugh!”

A translucent silver barrier blocked the man’s hand.

The stock shield was activated.

I was overcome with frustration.

‘Should I kill him?’

I left behind my moral notions about killing in my past life. Even more so, I have no hesitation in killing those who want to sell me.

“Ma, magic!”

“It’s a wizard!”

They were so surprised that they barely saw the shield and ran away in a hurry.

Well, it wasn’t to the point where I wanted to catch and kill the person running away.

“Even so.”

The shield needs to be improved. I was able to avoid that mess, but since I’ve never been attacked, this was a blind spot.

I took out an object from subspace. It’s great that you can use subspace starting from the 7th circle.

It is an entirely white smiling mask with the corners of the mouth turned up.

First, I tried on a mask. I’ve tried it on my face, but this is my first time using it, and since it’s a magic item, I didn’t feel uncomfortable and felt comfortable.

‘Mirror.’

When I looked in the mirror…

“Hmm. This…”

I picked it because it seemed interesting at first as it was a magic tool with cognitive impairment, but it was also… a bit creepy.

‘What does it matter?’

“Let’s take a look!”

The moment I crossed the barrier, a strong scent of blood rose up. Even in my past and present lives, this was the first time I had smelled such a strong scent of blood. I feel sick to my stomach.

“What the hell is this… ?”

Without even realizing it, I said something stupid.

But this really couldn’t be helped.
