It was strange.

It is said that the ability for people to resist fire, control water, read other people’s minds, and change their bodies beautifully is all achieved by a tumor lodged in the brain.

‘If you think about it, the Twin Goddess School’s laboratory was also full of teratomas.’

Edeline is the one who brings even the dead to life.

After everything is done and you ask to have the tumor removed, you will no longer have to feel like you are becoming disabled in real time.

“Isabel.”

“Don’t talk to me. Because I might betray you.”

It was a blunt tone.

That’s because that person doesn’t know how cunning and evil the servant is.

‘If I talk to you now, it will only make me angry.’

We walked in silence and arrived at the scouting station.

The handover had already been completed, and the newly arrived troops were in the midst of cleaning up.

All of the soldiers were staring blankly at us with uncomfortable eyes.

‘As expected, there are no humans or elves.’

Two Hawons who were helping with cleaning saw this direction and came towards us, coughing.

“Hello. Are you two our deputy chiefs?”

“Yes.” “That’s right.”

“I was waiting.” “I was waiting!”

···Anne.

You’re part of the security corps under Jean.

Since the handover is over today, it is time for cleaning.

But what on earth are you doing here?

“My name is Dwin Lee. Please take good care of me for half a year.”

Only then did Isabel bow her head after me.

“My name is Isabel Laphobia. Please take good care of me for half a year.”

“This is Shevonnell.” “This is Coctus Barrel.”

Shivonnell’s gaze, which had been directed at Isabelle, turned to me.

Oops. Because you’re so stupid, you’ve already been evaluated.

“The interior of the barracks is being cleaned. After cleaning the barracks, we will prepare a place for you to greet the soldiers during dinner time.”

“Thank you. Well, there’s nothing I can do to help, right?”

“No. None.”

Both houses of parliament were female Hosotts.

Shivonnell had black hair and yellow eyes, just like Shir, and her hair was grown to flow down.

Coctus Barel had grey-brown hair and blue eyes, and his hair was braided into black dreadlocks.

“I will guide you to Jungwon.”

As I walked behind the two, the soldiers’ eyes turned towards us.

The gaze wasn’t very nice.

It doesn’t matter because you just have to explain everything like that…

“Walk confidently. All you have to do is explain it.”

Isabelle was looking down at the floor, as if it were yesterday.

It looks like he has some trauma from the accusing look in his eyes.

‘First impressions are half the story. ‘

Let’s not ruin it.

─How on earth did those bastards manage their cow pastures─?!

Shouts were echoing in the administrative office.

─Isn’t your white commander dead?

─What does that have to do with him being left behind and the barracks being rotten?!!

···As I listened, I heard a crunching sound inside the wooden wall.

Beetle larvae eat away at wooden buildings.

If you made a house out of logs, you should have sprayed it with a special glaze.

─If you think you’re going to fall behind, you could have trained the supply officers or scarecrows in advance!

I see Ha Won’s face hardening as he opens the door.

Scarecrow.

It probably refers to an apprentice knight.

“You can’t help with rot, but you can make a glaze to repel bugs.”

The crew member, who was very angry, looked at me with a blaze.

“···Who are you?”

“This is Dwin Lee, who will be indebted to me for half a year.”

“This is Isabel Laphobia.”

As I bowed and said hello, a look of embarrassment appeared on Baek In-jang’s face.

Because you were swearing right in front of me.

“···It is called Pike Remitier.”

“This is Tess Decore.”

Both were male mixed race terupes.

The physique is quite stocky.

“It looks like the cleaning is in full swing. Is there anything I can help you with?”

“Hmm, hmmm… What is that bug-repelling glaze you mentioned earlier?”

“There were traces of beetles laying eggs on the outer wall of the barracks. It looks like beetle larvae are eating away at the barracks from the inside.”

“···There’s no choice, right?”

“Caterpillars cannot see properly. So sometimes I bite my friend’s side. If that happens, nine out of ten will die, and mold will grow inside the tree, turning it black and rotting inside. The pillars inside the shelter need to be replaced immediately. If you leave it like that, it will collapse within a month.”

I noticed it from my first visit yesterday.

Naturally, log homes do not have this musty smell.

A musty smell meant that something was rotten and rotting, and Jules’ sense of smell correctly pointed out that it was the interior pillar of the shelter.

“There are no logs to replace the poles right now. I guess I’ll have to call a separate logger.”

“Isabel, it looks like you have some work to do.”

“Yes?”

“Let’s go chopping wood.”

The smell of rotten mold emanates from inside.

It wasn’t surprising when it collapsed.

‘We need to fix it right away.’

There were many other places to fix.

“Are there any spare axes?”

Because I bought the job, the supply officer looked at me strangely.

“There is. I can attach a soldier to help with the work…”

“It’s okay.”

Water is leaking from the ceiling of the barracks.

However, since I cannot fire the tiles, I have no choice but to make clay and repair it strong before the rainy season.

When this is over, I’ll repair the stairs with the leftover wood.

“Shivon House of Representatives, give the ax to the deputy white leaders.”

“Yes!”

We took the two axes that Shibon brought us and then headed into the forest.

Isabel seemed dissatisfied with me.

“Why are you suddenly buying a job?”

“First impressions are half the story of a person.”

“Yes?”

“In the military, if a subordinate does a good job, he or she is a boss, but if a superior does a good job, he or she becomes a capable and trustworthy superior. Even if we were to serve in the military, we would be worse than those soldiers over there.”

Isabel’s gaze followed my hand to the soldiers cleaning the barracks.

The face that soon returned stopped with its mouth open, as if speechless, and then sighed instead of speaking.

“So, you’re just doing it to look good?”

“Yes.”

Isabel was showing such blatant disappointment that I noticed.

I don’t know why I’m disappointed.

I was so dumbfounded that I avoided eye contact.

“You are just like everyone else.”

“Are humans such simple animals? I hated the rotten atmosphere of my barracks, and coincidentally, I met people I would be working with for half a year. I want to be friends with those people for half a year.”

Thanks to Seth’s words, Isabelle feels very unfamiliar.

Asking whether what was held out was a knife or a hand means that what Isabel held out could be a knife.

─Just like I made a mistake in my past life.

Until now, it was all just hands…

Now the stranger is suddenly insulting me.

“Humans have been social animals since they were created. If you are unable to socialize, you will either become addicted to something or lose enjoyment of life.”

“What kind of nonsense are you suddenly saying?”

“Then let me ask you a question. What do you think will happen if one day all life disappears, except for the food and water you will need for the rest of your life?”

“Why are you giving such an example?!”

It wasn’t an example of trying to win, but Isabelle was quite excited.

“Isn’t it so terrible that it leaves you speechless? It’s like the human instinct to fear death. It’s strange that you place strange restrictions on getting close to other people.”

Sometimes there are people who want all good intentions to come from innocence.

A person who is tired of being used and teased a lot, and is like a so-called ‘stupid’ person.

However, this was not an example that applied to Isabel.

“···I’m sorry.”

Isabel looks at me and hesitates.

Eventually, unable to resist my gaze, he finally began to open his mouth.

“···Well, it happens sometimes. People who don’t mind any means. Flattering or flattering… I wonder if Dewin is that kind of person…”

It was an expanded interpretation based on a sense of victimization, and there is no right or wrong.

So they were right too.

Is it because of being ostracized by the apprentice knights?

Maybe Isabel, like Sherry, is weak in human relationships.

Isabel didn’t say anything more, so I didn’t open my mouth anymore either.

So we quietly started cutting down suitable trees.

* * * * * *

“Wow, the smell! It’s not just insects, people hate it too!”

“Haha! It will be extremely cold for a day or two.”

What I sprayed was a glaze mixed with lacquer and the corpse keeper’s essence.

The glazed pillar was left to dry naturally in a cool place, and clay was collected from around the stream to find a musty area to repair it.

Some people would pass by and glance at me like that.

“Okay, first, let’s say hello to the soldiers. We will inform you of the driver’s accommodation after the greeting.”

The scout corps was fairly evenly distributed, with a gender ratio of about half male to female.

In my office, both women and men were in their underwear.

“Attention.”

All the gazes of the scouts, who were relaxed, turned to me.

Maybe it’s because his free time is being infringed upon, but he doesn’t seem to like it.

“The assistant white leaders who will be with us for half a year have come. It may be unlikely, but don’t forget that if something unpleasant happens, you will be severely punished.

When I step forward to say hello, the supply officer steps back.

The facial expressions of most people who sniffed were not that good.

“Are you hungry? I have to eat, so let’s keep it short. We both received the blessing of Venus. Thanks to this, my body smells like perfume. Don’t think that I’m intentionally doing something that harms my stomach, but I hope you understand leniently.”

I was speechless under the sight of a hundred pairs of gazes.

Although the underlying emotions were all different, there was one thing in common.

That they are evaluating me.

I feel like I’m standing in front of an interviewer.

“Let’s not be too uncomfortable and be friendly. If you have any difficulties, please let me know at any time because I will help you as much as I can. Do you have any questions for me?”

One Terub raises his hand.

“I heard that the white wolf is infatuated with a human man who has been blessed by Venus. What will you do if you get caught?”

···What if I am captured by Shir?

“You have to make me crazy.”

A few scouts laughed.

“Is the poop produced by a person blessed by Venus really pretty?”

“Do you believe that guy whose poop looks pretty?”

Only then did the atmosphere relax and a relatively light atmosphere was formed.

I stepped back and glanced at Isabelle.

“My name is Isabel Laphobia. i look forward to. Do you have any questions for me?”

The atmosphere suddenly became cold.

‘···Where is the commander who respects his soldiers?’

You wouldn’t know it if she looked like a human, but Isabelle is a woman so beautiful that even people of other races would look outstanding.

In addition, he received the blessing of a servant.

When someone of a different rank shows respect, who can look down on them?

Perhaps it felt cold and businesslike again, but no one asked questions this time. Isabelle glanced at them lightly, lowered her eyes and slightly avoided the gaze pouring on her, and nodded self-deprecatingly.

“Let’s get along well together.”

The supply officer is also quite embarrassed.

If it wasn’t in front of the soldier, he would have been tackled right away.

I told you to respect the other person, not to bow your head.

‘That’s stupid.’

And so, the beginning of six months came to an end with mixed reactions.
