Chapter 30

“Sh, what?”

I opened my eyes in surprise.

But due to the harsh blowing of the piercing cold wind, I tightly closed my eyes again.

Shooooooooo a

My hair was blown into my face by the wind, and it was a mess.

“Ugh!”

Curling up at a loss for words was only temporary.

The strange gust of wind didn’t last long, coming and going as quickly as it did.

The whole space was calm again, as if what had just happened had never happened.

I slowly raised my head.

“What the hell was that?”

“Guh?”

At that instant, I heard a strange cry. I turned to the source of the sound in surprise.

On my skirt, a white ball of fur . …

“Coo!”

No, it was a rabbit.

“What, what is this?”

I couldn’t believe what I saw. A strong wind blew into my room and a rabbit suddenly appeared out of nowhere?

I rubbed my eyes to make sure it wasn’t an illusion. When I opened my eyes, the white rabbit was still in front of me

“Goooo!”

The rabbit cocked his head and looked at the human in front of him.

Then, he hopped towards me.

A white shadow flashed and the rabbit had landed on my lap.

“Ha, where did you come from? This burial is on the second floor ……”

“Guh?

“You couldn’t have been blown in by the wind.”

That rabbit blinked its ruddy eyes and once again cocked its head as if it couldn’t understand what I was saying.

“Well …… it would be scary if you really understood what I said ……”

Right at this moment, after staring at me for a while, that rabbit opened its mouth.

Two cute incisors lit up.

At the same time.

“Commission completed.”

A male voice came out from the rabbit’s mouth.

“Ah!”

I froze for a second, then screamed in terror and took two steps back.

Due to my startled movements, the rabbit that was just in my lap was thrown to the ground.

For a moment, I almost thought a catastrophe was brewing, but luckily, he landed safely on the carpet.

Then the throw lifted his head as if nothing had just happened.

“Guh?”

“What was that all about just now?”

Wasn’t there a man’s voice coming out of Throw’s mouth?

Even though he was a small creature only the size of my fist, I was still cum on guard.

I waited silently, but the rabbit didn’t even speak again.

I muttered, my head unable to function smoothly.

“What the heck? Is it just me hallucinating ……”

“Commission completed. If you would like to receive the thread of the previous commission, please come to our merchant group on your own.”

“My god!”

Just when I thought I was hallucinating, the rabbit’s mouth opened once more, along with the man’s voice.

Startled, I took a few more steps back away from the rabbit.

Even my back rubbed against the edge of the bed as I continuously fell back because of my nervousness.

Without continuing to intimidate me, the rabbit didn’t close the distance between us.

“We are the White Rabbit Merchant Group, farewell.”

The rabbit announced its origin, and the moment the words landed, the strong wind from earlier blew into my room again.

Shoichi.

After the strong wind subsided, I raised my head and smoothed my blown hair.

The rabbit with a strong presence just disappeared.

“What the hell was that ……”

I stared blankly at the carpet that the rabbit had been on a few seconds ago.

I suddenly remembered how Winter had contacted the heroine in normal mode.

He rarely acted in person in order to completely hide his identity.

Flying birds, rats and pups were his common messengers. But it was the rabbit that he used most often, along with an image representing his merchant group.

I also think back to when I was still playing the game, and at the time I thought the gesture was romantic.

However the reason I would be surprised is ……

“I wasn’t told it would be delivered in that voice.”

Besides, the game says there’s no voice acting.

I’ve only read the messages they send through the letters sent to the heroine in normal mode.

Having messages dictated by animals is really …… unexpected.

“Ha.”

A low male voice came out from that petite and cute rabbit.

Thinking back again also thinking that the situation just now was too speechless, I couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

Why did he choose to use a rabbit to deliver a message when he could have asked his companion to help deliver it?

”This guy shouldn’t be a bit crazy as well ……”

The thrill that arose instantly made me stop that thought.

I’ve already been stabbed once when I was planning to throw myself at Ikris alone.

Just in case Ikris’ favorability suddenly drops, I’ll have to earn Winter’s favor ……

But if that route isn’t reliable either ……

“Nah. There’s no way all five of them are crazy.”

Putting that thought aside, I thought back to the game in normal mode and that day, the moment I first met Winter at the party.

Extremely gentlemanly man who lends handkerchiefs to each other even if the target is an evil servant.

It might be easier to gain his favor.

“I have to go meet him.”

After calming down, I stood up and muttered

Looking at the distance I retreated, I instantly comprehended how outrageous I had just been which by that fist-sized animal.

I felt a little ashamed of my actions.

It’s good news that he linked me first, though. That way I wouldn’t have to go to the party.

Just as I thought that, the white dialog box appeared in front of me.

[Strange Wizard, Winter Belldandy] The plot has begun.

Do you want to move to the ‘White Rabbit Merchant Group’?

[Yes]/[No].

“Wait.”

Although the system couldn’t “really” hear my voice, I turned around before making my exit.

I hurried to get ready. If I wanted to enter and exit the mansion without being noticed by others.

I needed a little preparation time.

First, I put on the robe I wore when I went to see Ikris.

When Emily was about to throw it away, I quietly picked it up and put it in the closet.

Next, I pulled a string of bluestone necklaces from my bead box as payment for him.

As well as the gift I had ordered for him, wrapped up along with the white handkerchief, just in case.

“Should I take this with me?”

I mused with the mask Leonard had given me in my hand.

Since he sent the white free directly to my room, it seemed pointless to hide my identity.

‘But I’m set up as a “high class noble lady who searches for men in secret.”‘

‘Let’s act according to this persona for now.’

I put on the mask and glanced towards the mirror before walking towards the system dialog box.

“Ready. Let’s go!”

As the white light that was shining more than just a little faded, I appeared in a dark alley with only a few passersby.

“Is this the place?”

A dilapidated and unremarkable house. There was a rabbit carved on the door, but you couldn’t notice it unless you looked closely.

I knew from my experience playing the game that this was Winter’s merchant group.

I walked up and knocked on the door without the slightest hesitation.

But just as my hand hangs in mid-air and is about to touch the door, it opens slowly.

“What ……”

A chill went wide across my back, as if I was being observed by someone.

Through the doorway I looked inside, then carefully opened the door and entered.

Inside was exactly like the scene in the game.

A desk and a bookcase, as well as a sofa for entertaining guests.

Just a very ordinary office.

However, no matter how much I looked and searched, I didn’t see the person I was looking for.

“…… Did he go out?”

I came almost immediately after the rabbit left. But when I saw the empty office, I inevitably felt a little disappointed.

I thought about whether or not I should return to the mansion first, but on second thought, since I’ve come here, I might as well stay and wait.

Originally, I was planning to take the merchant group’s carriage to go back, after all, I don’t recognize the way back, and the carriage here is equivalent to a cab in real life.

But it’s said to be a high-level intelligence merchant, but it turns out that there isn’t even a lethargic person to help greet them ah.

”What kind of intelligence organization doesn’t even have a lethargic person?”

Although holding the doubt, I immediately thought of the reason.

”Uh, that’s why that rabbit with a low male voice that gives people goosebumps is used right ……”

After closing the door, I sat down on the sofa.

Since I’m an invited guest, a small break shouldn’t do anything.

However just as I was planning to stroll around some more.

Thump-A sound came from a certain void, and I could feel the vibration coming along with that sound.

“Hair, what happened?”

I jumped up from the couch. And the vibrations of the entire house immediately calmed down.

“…… Is this my illusion?”

I cocked my head and was about to sit down at the same time.

The creaking of a

The vibration reappeared, with an amplitude so strong that it made me lose my balance.

“Ah!”

I can’t stand up somewhat but fortunately I grabbed the armrest of the sofa in time.

‘Obviously I came here to meet Winter, what kind of bad luck am I having! The

Like the last tremor, this one also stopped quickly.

“Earth, earthquake?”

I gripped the armrests of the sofa tightly, preparing to face the next tremor.

I waited in the same position for a while, but nothing happened.

I took this opportunity to look out the window to confirm the situation outside.

Since I didn’t know much about natural disasters in this world, I looked out the window to see how people were reacting.

“…… Hmm?”

Outside, it was peaceful, as if nothing had happened.

Two shocks this strong, yet no one went out to the road to check, and the streets were even calmer.

“Although there aren’t many people on the street, this is not the only building in this alley ah ……”

The festival outside was still going on.

If a tremor like the one just happened, people shouldn’t be this calm ……

Brows furrowed, I leaned my ear towards the window.

There was no sound.

Just when I thought it might be because the place was soundproofed.

Thump!

The sound was coming from somewhere else.

It was somewhere in this house, behind me.
