'What crazy question is that? Is there any way to be curious about that? Whether you break or not. What does that have to do with me?'
Moreover, in Odette's eyes, Shion didn't look very broken. His face was dry and pale, but he was still dressed in a frighteningly luxurious manner.
From head to toe, he looked like a perfect aristocrat, neither too much nor too little. His behavior was still neat and elegant.
So isn't it too much of an exaggeration to say that it is 'broken'?
Odette held back a sigh.
"I don't want you to react to that kind of.'
It seems that he has updated his mental torture method like a genius in the torture chamber. She couldn't waste any more time being swept away by it.
Odette walked in the opposite direction, to the right. But it was useless. Shion stood in her way once more.
It was doubly annoying that it looked so drowsy even though it was such a quick move.
"Since this guy is determined to block the way, no matter how hard I try, I won't be able to bully him."
"Just look at it, you'll feel so much better when you see how broken I am. Huh?"
Odette looked up to face Shion. Eye-to-eye met, and Shion looked down at her in relief.
The bashish smile looks a little stupid. Oddette, to her dismay, felt like a boy.
'It's obvious why he suddenly changed his attitude.'
Where is the way he was two years ago when he mocked and sarcastically mocked her the whole time? Suddenly, pretending to be pitiful, is there any other reason to beg her?
"Maybe it's because I'm a real S-class purifier."
A real purifier that doesn't stink...
[Potion that hides the scent of the purifier]
[Price: 10,000 Atasha / 1 day]
She didn't want the Transcendents to be entangled, so she threw so many gold coins at the status window, and yet she was in this state.
"Your Excellency."
Odette sighed and called out to Shion.
Purification seems to mean a lot to the Transcendent.
'I don't know. Charlotte was an A-class purifier in this lifetime.'
By the standards of an S-class transcendent, the purification of an A-class purifier is not possible. It would be too small for the Transcendent's vessel. It was impossible to put out a forest fire with a glass of water.
Even if she had been purified by Class A over and over again, the level of contamination would have been high. From what Karin said, the men didn't seem to be getting along well with Charlotte in this lifetime.
Since you haven't been purified, how desperate are you to be purified? Maybe even if you hear the beggar, you can hear it properly.
"Yes, I'm listening, Odette"
Answering in a friendly voice, Shion unbuttoned the cufflinks on his sleeves. Soon, he rolled up his sleeves.
Odette smiled bitterly.
'Look, it's as expected. The purification was so urgent that his attitude changed.'
Isn't it begging like Shion? No matter how deserted they are, they are hurriedly rolling up their sleeves on the streets.
He was a corpse character without dignity. He seemed to be in such a hurry that he threw everything to the ground.
In the <Redemption>, no matter how painful it was, he would rather have run away and not do that on the street.
'You must have been in desperate need of purification. If you die, you will cling to me and beg me.'
Odette doesn't know how the Transcendent feels, but she was once so hungry that she put spoiled food on the floor in her mouth.
What is the difference between Shion, who is hungry for purification right now, and her, who was hungry at that time?
She could only vaguely guess how he felt. Perhaps because of this, her voice contained cynicism and sympathy at the same time.
A voice that feels sorry for the person he despises. At the sound of the voice, Shion stopped his hand gesture as he rolled up his sleeves.
"What do you mean. Do you think I'm doing this because I'm hungry for purification?"
"Isn't it? It looked just like that."
Shion's hands stiffened, as if insulted.
"What do you want from me? Shall I sleep with you? Then you will get out of the way?"
Odette said bluntly. Since she couldn't outperform Shion, she couldn't even change the color of her hair or eyes with the status window. She can't openly use the status window in front of Shion and transform.
Therefore, Odette was now standing on the street with Odette's face itself.
"Even if there are no people, if you stay like this, you might be noticed by others."
For Odette's plan to go as planned. It was difficult for others to see what she was now.
In such a situation, it was just a waste of time.
'It's best if this guy who has hurt his pride with my blunt words just gets out of the way.'
"..."
At her words, Shion looked at Odette with a face that was even stiffer than before.
"Please tell me your business quickly, sir. I can't waste my time."
"Hah...Really..."
Shion stared at Odette for a long time and burst out laughing.
"Haha, you're also very talented. Now it makes people go crazy to the point of hallucination."
Hallucination? What hallucinations? Odette had a brief question, but she didn't think too much about it.
"It looks like you're hallucinating."
She just came to that conclusion.
If the pollution level was high and the pain got worse, he could see enough hallucinations. Just like when John endured a six-month runaway in the rose garden.
Odette, who had to outrun Shion, didn't know that.
"Charlotte must have refused to purify you? It's a pity. You must have hated it to plead with me for your pride."
At that. Shion tilted his head to one side with a cynical expression. It was a habit that appeared a few times in <Redemption> when Shion was in a very bad mood.
However, two years ago, Odette doesn't have to adjust to Shion's mood.
"You're so pretty. I didn't know I would be angry with the hallucination."
Instead of listening to his mutter, Odette continued to say what she wanted to say.
"For a behemoth-possessed person, any cheap food is sweet. If he had died, he would have come to beg me. Still, it would be better to ask Charlotte to purify you. Your Excellency is not very good."
"Odette, stop."
The insult hardened Shion's face. There was a clear warning in his voice.
Odette paused. It wasn't that she was frightened by the warning, but that she had just said what she had to say.
Shion brushed his silver-haired hair with one hand. It was not an ordinary aristocratic gesture, but a nervous gesture that felt uncomfortable.
"I'm going to get angry against the hallucinations like this. If you see him on the street, he won't be crazy."
Shion said in a tired tone of his scuffle with Odette.
"Why does Charlotte's name come up again and again in our conversations? I don't understand."
"Your Excellency."
"Is she annoying? Then will you kill her? If you promise you won't leave me if I can go crazy like this, I'm willing to do it."
Shion said in a voice full of fatigue.
If the transcendent kills the purifier, he will be imprisoned in eternal punishment by the gods. Even if it sounds sincere, it means that it is a complete bluff and nonsense.
"Your Excellency, please get out of the way. If you have anything you want, please tell me as soon as possible."
"...Odette. I just want to see your face."
"Then you can brainwash me and swing me. If you want anything from me, you always do it, right?"
Odette's last words seemed to diminish the light in Shion's purple eyes.
"Either you take purification from me. Either brainwash them to see my faces... Please do not swing me to your heart's content later. Please get out of the way for now, Your Excellency."
