“Ugh...”
“Simone...”
Anna rubbed Simone's shoulders and arms with a look of pity on her face.
Even though quite some time had passed since she woke up, Simone still couldn't move from her bed.
“I feel like I’m going to die.”
She must never do this again.
“Simone...”
As Simone groaned and cried, the other servants, unable to stand it any longer, came over and began to massage her body.
The reason Simone is so sick and unable to move is to save the servants.
Because she just used up her mana through evil and brute force without any training or study.
'She probably won't be able to get up for a while even after she wakes up. She used too much mana at once. Her whole body will hurt and she'll have a hard time eating until her mana recovers a little, so please take good care of her.'
Orkan spoke while she was unconscious and sleeping.
As Simone was literally having such a hard time, the servants felt as if it was all their fault and felt sorry, so they felt ashamed.
Simone frowned and shook her head as she was being massaged by the servants.
“It’s a little better now... Stop it and take care of things.”
Still, it's better than the morning. It's somehow better to sit down and breathe.
The servants looked at her with pity, as if asking if she was really okay, and eventually followed Kaylee's instructions and returned to their original seats.
Knock knock.
Just then, someone knocked on the door. When Simone nodded, Anna ran over and opened the door for her.
Well, it would be the Grand Duchess of Florier.
Since Grand Duchess Florier had been coming to this room frequently to check on Simone's condition, just like she was taking care of Jace, she had gotten used to it by now.
Perhaps it was thanks to Jace's awakening that Florier had the luxury of taking care of her family's servants, even taking care of Simone, who was sick in bed.
But this time, it wasn't Florier who came to Simone's room.
“Simone, are you feeling better?”
“Miss- Are you finally awake? I was surprised when you said you were awake after eating-”
“Are you okay?”
It was Abel and his group and Louis.
They haven't gone yet.
She remembered that she hadn't heard an answer from Anna about Abel and his group because the Grand Duke and his wife had come to visit earlier.
Anna must have been trying to tell a story that still remained.
Simone nodded vaguely and looked at Louis.
'Why aren't you going?'
Louis shrugged his shoulders at the question sent through her eyes.
He wanted to send it, but he couldn't. That's what it seems to mean.
Abel and his party naturally entered the room, admired the spacious and splendid appearance of the room, and sat down on the chairs.
Simone stared at them blankly and asked.
“Why didn’t you go?”
Then Abel looked at Louis, not Simone, and said.
“Is that what you say to the person who helped you? Is it because you have a lot of money? That’s rude.”
It's really unlucky for someone to say something like that in front of a patient like that.
“Hmm.”
Abel began to stare blankly at Simone.
“A real necromancer? A necromancer’s power is this strong?”
At his words, the servants flinched and glanced at Abel, and Kaylee approached with heavy footsteps and stood in front of Simone.
“Is it polite to criticize someone like that? Mr. Abel, how about you and Ms. Simone speak politely to each other?”
At Kaylee's words, Abel's gaze turned to Kaylee this time. Then, as if he was not interested, he spoke to Simone.
“Excuse me, can you hand over all the servants, including Kaylee? I have something to say.”
Simone asked absentmindedly, not really interested.
“Is that something you can’t say in front of the employees?”
“I can do it, but if you don’t, I can do it more openly.”
Simone sighed in relief and motioned for the servants to come out.
Kaylee kept threatening Abel until the moment he left.
“You’re still young, so don’t say anything weird! Seriously, I have work to do, so why are you sending me away?”
As soon as all the servants left and the door closed, Abel laughed in disbelief and pointed outside the door.
“Kaylee, why is that guy so angry all the time?”
"I don't know."
However, Simone seemed to have entered Kaylee's boundary now, and she seemed to be taking care of her as if she were taking care of Anna.
Abel shook his head as if he was tired and pulled a chair over to Simone's bed.
As he approached, Luigi, Bianchi, and Orkan naturally headed towards him.
“Still, I like that girl named Kaylee.”
Bianchi said.
“She seems very affectionate. Didn’t you see the time she cried and apologized a few days ago? She were so cute-”
Simone, who had been listening to their conversation absentmindedly, looked at Bianchi with her eyes sparkling.
“Kaylee?”
“Uh- Simone, you haven’t seen me because you were sleeping so well?”
As Bianchi tried to give a rough explanation and move on, Orkan gave Simone an additional explanation.
“Isn’t this incident caused by mutual hatred? All employees had time to heal and reconcile before returning to their daily lives.”
Louis chuckled. Abel also chuckled and said.
“You should have seen it. It was so funny.”
“Hey, don’t say I’m joking. Were those people serious?”
Abel spoke to Simone without even hearing Bianchi's criticism.
“Anyway, my main point is, don’t you want to go with me?”
“...”
In an instant, silence flowed.
Bianchi, who had been humming and looking happy the whole time, Orcan and Luigi, who had been looking at Abel and Simone with kind smiles, and Simone, who had received the offer, all froze in place and looked at Abel in silence.
From ancient times to the present, protagonists have often made shocking statements without consulting anyone, leaving the listener speechless.
Isn't that exactly the situation right now?
When she actually experienced it, it was even more absurd than she thought.
There was a long silence that seemed to be going on for too long.
Then Orkan finally suppressed his temper and spoke calmly.
“What... are you talking about? You, you make such a suggestion, without even telling us...”
“Why? Not really? She’s strong. If we take her with us, she’ll be a huge help. Even though her speech is a bit like that, she seems kind.”
Eventually, Louis, who couldn't stand watching, stepped in and slapped Abel on the back.
“Hey, make sense, you idiot.”
“...As expected, you really are harsh when you talk with that face.”
Bianchi approached Simone, shaking her head as if to say, "Here we go again."
“Haha, don’t worry too much about what Abel says. Of course, we’d be very happy and happy if you came with us, but you know? You can easily refuse. Of course, I think you’re good at refusing, so I’m not too worried about that.”
Simone looked at Louis and Abel.
‘It’s exactly as it says in the book...’
“I told you! He has a purpose and is living here by signing a contract. Why are you going together?”
Louis was still nagging Abel, but Abel was looking at Simone as if nothing had happened, even though his back was being scratched.
It was a look in his eyes as if he was demanding an answer.
“What is your goal? I can do it for you. Listen, you guys. No matter how much I think about it, I think we definitely need this necromancer as our comrade.”
“If you don’t even call my name, what do you mean by colleague? Colleague?”
Simone just watched the situation quietly before opening her mouth.
"I'm not going."
The room was enveloped in silence again.
Abel looked at her as if asking why, but wasn't it obvious?
Simone came to the Illeston mansion to avoid going on adventures with Abel.
If I go on a journey with him, I will die!
But why would I go?
It was an offer she should have declined, of course.
Abel frowned and said.
“We haven’t even told you our purpose yet?”
“What is your purpose?”
“We will destroy the Demon King. The threat to this world-”
“That’s why I’m not going. It’s dangerous.”
Abel shook his head sharply.
“It’s not dangerous. I’ll protect you. And you’re strong, too. If you come with me, Orkan will teach you how to use that mana.”
“So that person’s mana and my mana have different ingredients...”
Orkan said with resignation.
Simone shook her head stubbornly.
“Do you know what my purpose is? To remove the curse from this mansion-”
“I can help you with that. I can stay in this village for about a year. If it’s to take someone with your level of ability.”
...Will this be possible in a year?
Of course, I don't know what would happen if the main character received a buff. Anyway, Simone shook her head and continued her interrupted speech.
“I’m going to get rid of the curse and live comfortably. Just eating and sleeping.”
If she can't go back to her original world anyway, she wants to live a comfortable life where she works hard for a few years and then rest for the rest of her life, working occasionally.
So I came to this mansion and why are you banging on the door while I was sleeping?
But Abel did not back down easily despite Simone's rejection.
In fact, he couldn't back down. Simone's only goal was to live comfortably, but Abel proposed to Simone that she must destroy the Demon King and save the world.
He already had few comrades, and even fewer of them were combat personnel. But then he discovered Simone, who was on par with him, or even stronger than him in terms of potential.
It would definitely be a great help. It would be a great help, but it would be a shame to leave someone with such great power here.
'Even if I can't take you in the end, let's try to hang on to you persistently.'
Even though it is a nuisance to Simone, the world will soon be in ruins due to the Demon King.
And of course, Simone, who has read the book, knows this too.
How desperately he wants each and every one of his colleagues.
“Then let’s do it like this.”
Simone thought for a moment and then said.
“We won’t go on adventures together. But when you need my help, I’ll help you as much as I can.”
Of course, she wouldn't do anything that would put her life at risk.
“Instead, how about you go on an adventure and help me out in whatever way you can when I need you? How about that?”
However, even if she wanted to live comfortably, she knew that it would be impossible if Abel and his group could not prevent the destruction of the world, on the other hand, she also knew that if she used this incident as an opportunity to help Abel and his group lift the curse, things would become easier in an instant.
Then wouldn't it be better if they helped each other?
Simone said.
“If you accept, Orkan will begin by teaching me how to manipulate mana.”
Since it's come to this, let's just eat it.
Abel frowned and said.
“We haven’t even told you our purpose yet?”
“What is your purpose?”
“We will destroy the Demon King. The threat to this world-”
“That’s why I’m not going. It’s dangerous.”
Abel shook his head sharply.
“It’s not dangerous. I’ll protect you. And you’re strong, too. If you come with me, Orkan will teach you how to use that mana.”
