The time when the dinner party that lasted past 9:00 PM ended.
When Odette returned to her room, Dolly took out a pair of red cuffs and showed them to her.
“The master wants you to come to the foreign garden right away.”
“That’s strange. Why did my father speak to you separately? He was with me at the dinner table just now, so he could have called me directly.”
“Well, maybe he has something more important to say?”
Dolly answered naturally.
Odette tilted her head in confusion, finding it amusing to see Dolly tense.
“Miss, this is not the time. Didn’t the master call you urgently? There are less than 40 minutes left, and it will take quite a while to get to the foreign garden from here.”
“Right. First, I need to get ready quickly.”
Odette laughed inwardly at the sight and watched Dolly put the cuffs back into her apron pocket.
Then, pretending to get ready busily, Odette went into the toilet room and called up her inventory.
'Please put the parchment I wrote on tonight on the dressing table.'
On the royal cruise to Athena, Odette had already stolen a few documents that were to be discarded from the Count's cabin, in case she needed the Count's handwriting.
After receiving Karin's contact, Odette worked tirelessly to create a single letter, covering the stolen documents with a piece of parchment and tracing each letter of the alphabet exactly over the Count's handwriting.
"Vanessa.
I have something important to discuss with you. Come straight to the foreign garden."
And after dozens of trials and errors, a plausible letter was completed. Of course, she couldn't leave any evidence behind, so she put the failed parchments in her inventory.
Odette, with the letter neatly tucked into her sleeve, left the toilette room.
“Dolly, aren’t you coming with me?”
“The master strongly warned me not to come with you. I thought he wanted you to come alone.”
Odette laughed inwardly at Dolly's answer but nodded.
“Then, would you please fix my clothes for me one last time? I’m sure father will scold me if I look disheveled.”
Dolly, who would normally grumble, was quietly stroking the ribbon near the waist of Odette's dress. Taking advantage of this, Odette's hand brushed Dolly's apron pocket.
“It’s all done. Then, have a nice trip, Miss.”
Dolly, not noticing, willingly let Odette go alone.
'Are you listening to my father's instructions to keep an eye on me all the time?'
Dolly is a cute dog who easily ignores her master's orders when her own greed comes first. Thanks to that, Odette gained freedom and she can't tell her how happy she is.
Odette walked down the stairs, stopped for a moment on the first floor, and then headed toward Mrs. Becker's room.
Knock softly on the door, she took out a piece of parchment and a ruby cuff from her sleeve and slipped it under the crack in Mrs. Becker's door.
When Odette heard Mrs. Becker checking them, she turned around lightly and headed towards the lobby of the summer palace.
The lobby of the main palace building was connected to a beautiful beach.
Odette walked straight towards the beach at night. Then she started running along the shoreline.
'Activate inventory. Take out the robe.'
Wearing a long robe with a large hat to hide the face and luxurious clothing.
The place she was headed to was the 'disaster shelter' on Athena Island.
'During my visit to Athena this year, a disaster occurred at this time today.'
As she remembered, at 9 o'clock, ding ding ding! A loud bell sound rang across the beach.
The bell from the bell tower of Athena Island sounds to announce that a disaster has struck the night sea.
A disaster occurred in the summer palace and the seaside village on the opposite side of the island. It was expected to result in a great number of casualties.
Fortunately, there were no deaths due to the quick response of John and Sion, but because the scale of the disaster was so large, many people were swept away by the typhoon that occurred at the same time.
People who were seriously injured by falling, bumping into things, or hitting the ground while evacuating.
Some people could have survived if they had received treatment quickly, but some died because there was no proper medicine to treat them.
[ Your current bad reputation:
> A wicked woman with a very bad temper (0 people/-32 people decreased)
> Selfish Purifier (11 people/4 people reduced)
> The Flower of Arrogant Society (8 people/-18 people decreased)
> Young Lady, a shell with nothing in her head]
And Odette planned to use the situation to change her reputation.
There are a total of 19 guests who have negative prejudices against her.
Because the central keywords of that reputation were ‘selfish’ and ‘arrogance.’
She wanted to make today's good deed known widely, to give the impression that her reputation was the opposite of hers. Of course, she wanted to avoid Dolly's plot while she was at it.
[ Disaster Shelter ]
'The wind is so strong. Odette can't even open her eyes, even though this place is far from the disaster site.'
It was as if a huge disaster had occurred, and even though it was a distance she couldn't see, she felt like she was going to be sucked in at any moment.
At that moment, the sky turned pitch black in an instant. Odette raised her head.
‘Oh my God... What kind of disaster is so horrifyingly large?’
A disaster about half the size of the island was moving with such tremendous force that it appeared as if it would suck the island out of the sky.
As the wind grew stronger, Odette had no choice but to hold on to the tree right next to her.
At that moment, a huge clap of thunder was heard.
Boom, bang!
A lightning strike split the sky in half, and the entire dark night sea flashed white for a moment as if a flash grenade had exploded.
Odette had a gut feeling.
'John has come.'
John's ability to subdue a great disaster. He looked like a sea God, standing in the air above the sea and calling down lightning towards the disaster.
The black disaster that seemed to cover the entire sky suddenly shrank to the size of a sailing ship and writhed in agony.
‘...It’s completely different from what you see on the game screen. It feels overwhelming.’
The diminished disaster began to slowly move toward the sea in the direction that John had lured it with his lightning strike. The wind also gradually died down.
Odette looked at John, a little dazed.
'A heterogeneous being that cannot mix with humans.'
When Odette returned to her room, Dolly took out a pair of red cuffs and showed them to her.
“The master wants you to come to the foreign garden right away.”
“That’s strange. Why did my father speak to you separately? He was with me at the dinner table just now, so he could have called me directly.”

[ Disaster Shelter ]

‘...It’s completely different from what you see on the game screen. It feels overwhelming.’
The diminished disaster began to slowly move toward the sea in the direction that John had lured it with his lightning strike. The wind also gradually died down.
Odette looked at John, a little dazed.
'A heterogeneous being that cannot mix with humans.'
She realized this fact once again.
Fortunately, the disaster had now completely crossed over into the sea, and Sion, who had come running, joined in, took up his sword, and tore off the disaster's tongue. The disaster fell into the sea with a plop!
Because of its enormous size, it looked as if a whale had fallen from the sky into the sea.
'The disaster will not happen anymore.'
It was a moment of relief. The sound of a child crying was heard inside the shelter.
‘...Ah. This isn’t the time for me to be like this.’
Odette, momentarily overwhelmed by the sight of the Transcendent beings, walked into the disaster shelter as soon as she remembered what she had to do.
The inside of the shelter was a mess.
There were no doctors, but there were a plethora of patients.
As many people moved in a hurry in the aftermath of the disaster, not only were they scratched, but there were also many people with broken arms and legs.
'It was a good thing I stole a bunch of medicine from the infirmary.'
At that moment, the pregnant woman who looked most seriously injured came into Odette's sight. Her lips were bloodless, and she looked as if she would suffocate at any moment.
Odette activated her inventory as she turned to her.
'Put some hemostatic herbs and clean bandages in my robe pocket.'
“Put your arm out. If you don’t stop the bleeding now, you’ll lose consciousness.”
The polite speech was also a strategy.
Because Odette planned to keep her identity a secret until the photographer arrived.
It was clear that revealing one's identity too quickly would limit one's good deeds. If one were to save someone, wouldn't it be better to save as many people as possible so that there would be a bigger article about it later?
Odette took several steps diligently.
The pregnant woman, who was barely able to breathe, was now in a state where she could speak softly.
“Thank you...”
“Don’t talk too much. It’s just a temporary measure, so make sure to show the wound to a doctor later.”
While applying crushed herbs to the pregnant woman, Odette checked the time.
'It's almost 10 o'clock.'
Rudolph and Dolly's tricks were about to begin. Odette planned to do good deeds here from the beginning to the end of their tricks.
'Don't dare involve me in anything that will happen today.'
How much time had passed? It was the moment when Odette finished treating her fifteenth patient, her hat pulled down low.
A ringing sound came to Odette's ears.
When she raised her head, a status window she had never seen before was floating before my eyes.
[Be careful outside the door.]
Outside the door...? Without even having time to question the unfamiliar tone of voice in the status window, Odette reflexively turned her gaze toward the door outside the shelter.
There stood a woman wearing a lace bonnet.
'Why aren't you coming into the shelter and standing outside-'
Odette's thoughts were cut off for a moment after she was puzzled by the woman's appearance.
'Uh, how?'
This was because the hair that was tightly hidden inside the bonnet brim was flowing down lightly.
'...Charlotte?'
Pink hair that shines clearly in the moonlight.
