Vol 2. Chapter 40: Unlucky Miss White
Inside the capital of the Olos Kingdom,
After releasing Holy Aura and knocking a group of people unconscious, everyone else scattered in panic. The royal capital's guards also chose to keep their distance from the white-haired girl. Although she was currently in an extremely weakened state, she was still a genuine Sword God.
Even heavily injured, she wasn't someone a tiny kingdom like theirs could afford to offend.
Not to mention that this girl who used Holy Aura was very likely one of the Apostles of Asumos Church...
Thus,
No one dared continue gossiping about Miss White Yama...
However,
The reduction in noise did nothing to improve the gloomy girl's condition. At this moment, Miss White Yama's mood could only be described as utterly terrible! After realizing that she had been screwed over by the Snow Night Empire and Xue Tianao's weapon, a fire had long been burning inside her heart!
Even more outrageous was—
When she woke up, she found herself inside the deep mountains on the border of the Olos Kingdom! She had almost been swallowed by a giant toad?!
Although she had awakened in time and kicked the giant toad flying,
Its disgusting mucus had still splattered all over White Yama.
She was indeed a battle-hardened swordswoman,
But she was also a girl who loved cleanliness.
Being covered in such revolting slime naturally filled her with fury!
Aside from being covered in disgusting fluids, all sorts of pain continuously spread throughout her body after waking up, especially her head and face...
Back then,
She didn't use her face to receive the Mana Fission Bomb, did she?
So why did those two places hurt so much?!
Growing increasingly confused, White Yama raised her hand to press against her head and rubbed her reddened nose. For a moment, this Heavenly Apostle who had galloped across battlefields for many years looked like a pitiful little girl who had been bullied~
'Ah, it hurts so much...'
Touching the swollen bump on top of her head, White Yama couldn't help grimacing in pain.
Wh-
What is this?
This doesn't feel like it was caused by the explosion.
It feels more like... I got beaten up?!
Could it be...
Did I land headfirst?!
White Yama became even more bewildered.
Moreover,
Aside from her head and face, dull aches occasionally came from the rest of her body.
Pain in her limbs was one thing,
But?!
Why did her butt hurt so much too?!
Covering her backside, White Yama began walking with a slight limp. It was because of this that so many people had suspected something after she entered the city. After all, tragic female knight stories were common enough and nothing unusual.
Had she not confirmed that her body was still untouched, White Yama might have suspected that some humanoid creature had done something to her while she was unconscious in the forest...
Of course, at this moment, Miss White Yama probably never would have dreamed that the reason her butt hurt so much
Was simply the result of revenge from a certain Demon King-class wolf girl.
After getting spanked by a feather duster herself, Limo had vented her grievances on White Yama's rear...
'Wuwuwu, it hurts so much...'
Miss White Yama felt extremely depressed and even muttered inwardly,
After all, she was very afraid of pain.
However,
Outwardly, she still maintained her strong and icy demeanor. As one of Asumos Church's Heavenly Apostles, she couldn't bring shame to the Church.
But...
But...
'Wuwuwu, it hurts so much...'
Suppressing both the pain and the grievance in her heart, White Yama's azure eyes rapidly swept across the shops lining the streets. Clearly, in her weakened state, she was searching for an apothecary. She needed medicine to speed up her recovery. If she could restore more than thirty percent of her strength,
Then she could return to Garos Fortress and look for Mengxi...
Who knew,
How Mengxi had been doing during these days while she slept?!
Nothing could happen to Lady Child of Destiny!
Thinking of this, White Yama became anxious beyond measure,
To the point where she nearly wanted to start sobbing.
However,
As she searched, Miss White Yama suddenly realized a serious problem.
Slowly,
The girl lowered her head and looked at herself.
Instantly, White Yama frowned.
'E-Everything's gone...'
That's right.
Miss White discovered that aside from the clothes on her body, her weapon, spatial ring, black card, diamond card, and even the gambling chips she had saved up...
Everything had disappeared as though she had been robbed clean.
They had probably been lost during the explosion.
'Damn Snow Night Empire!! I will never coexist with you under the same heavens!!'
And so, under the fearful gazes of nearby residents, this white-haired girl who seemed mentally unstable began crazily stomping the ground!
Immediately causing a continuous minor earthquake throughout the royal capital!
However,
Throwing a tantrum was one thing,
But Miss White had a very serious problem she had to face.
Namely,
She had no money...
She needed medicine and scrolls.
But she had no money.
Although White Yama loved gambling and was usually somewhat scummy, she still adhered quite faithfully to the Church's basic doctrines. She would never commit crimes for money.
That was her principle.
But,
Without money, how was she supposed to buy medicine?
Earn money first?
But what could she do now?
Other than fighting, she wasn't good at anything.
Despite being a Sword God, she was always cheated by others while gambling...
White Yama sank into indecision.
And just then, while anxiously looking around, White Yama's pupils suddenly contracted!
She noticed a somewhat familiar shop...
'T-This place is here too??'
Looking at the inconspicuous magic bookstore at the corner of the street, surprise appeared in her azure eyes.
There was one in the capital of the Crimson Leaf Empire too...
If they have recovery magic scrolls...
Maybe...
I should try my luck.
Thinking this, White Yama held her breath and slowly walked toward the bookstore.
The instant she pushed open the door,
Rows upon rows of books immediately appeared before her.
Though the exterior looked ordinary, the inside was anything but.
And besides the books,
A cute little girl with aqua twin tails and a huge blue ribbon, who was currently sweeping the floor, entered White Yama's field of vision.
Blinking her pink-purple gem-like eyes, the little girl curiously looked at this sloppy older sister who had suddenly entered.
Then,
To White Yama's surprise, the exquisitely adorable little girl didn't come over to greet her customer.
Instead, she put down the broom and slowly turned toward the second floor of the bookstore, shouting:
"Mom! Pickled Radish White is here~"
?!?!
H-How does she know who I am?
I clearly concealed my aura!
Wait?!
What the hell is Pickled Radish?!
The moment she heard the little girl's words, White Yama narrowed her eyes and vigilantly stared at both the child and the second floor.
The next moment,
Following the girl's call, a somewhat seductive and slightly dissatisfied female voice slowly drifted down from above.
"Linxi, didn't I tell you? We need to keep quiet inside the bookstore~"
Accompanied by the voice,
An elegant woman surrounded by five or six floating magic books slowly entered White Yama's sight.
The woman looked around seventeen or eighteen years old. Her figure was full and graceful, her movements elegant and refined. Her platinum hair was smooth and beautiful, her skin like jade, and her lovely eyes flowed with charm. Every smile and frown carried an indescribable maturity and allure, along with a faint but impossible-to-ignore sense of danger.
She wore a simple brown checkered dress. Her long jade-like legs were wrapped in creamy white garter stockings, and her beautiful platinum hair was loosely gathered with a simple hairpin, cascading over her shoulders.
Clearly, she possessed a breathtaking mature beauty.
But the most eye-catching thing,
Was the pair of fluffy fox ears atop her head...
However,
The instant she saw the bookstore owner, especially those fluffy ears, Miss White Yama's eyes suddenly shrank. Surprise and a trace of caution filled her azure eyes.
In the next moment, White Yama couldn't help raising a hand and pointing ahead.
"Y-You profiteering merchant, why are you here too?!!!!"
