150 – Early Coming-of-Age
Meat and vegetables were flying through the air in a single file and out of the window in an orderly fashion.
Ella couldn’t help but put on a devastated look as they marched out in her herd as if they were a herd of migratory birds or cattle. She rubbed her eyes, wondering if she had been tainted with Anastasia’s colorful jellies and was seeing her hallucinations, and she jerked her head around to see if it was only her eyes, and looked at the others. I even looked.
Fortunately, it was not a hallucination that could only be seen by Ella’s eyes, and one by one, people noticed the existence of ingredients making a great escape from her restaurant with an absurd expression.
“No…”
The archwitch and Agnes were not much different from Ella’s reaction.
She just stared at it, blinking her eyes to see if the fairy was playing a trick.
Strangely, however, Lee Yang-hun and his concubines laughed as if they were dumbfounded, but did not show any suspicious attitude due to her hallucinations.
And this Serene, her lips were twitching as if she was having a conversation with the devil standing next to her.
Were you curious about that look?
Anastasia jumped up and approached Iarin.
Then, her Ia-Rin placed her palm on her thigh to make her aware of her presence, and as soon as her Ia-Rin saw her as if she was wondering, she didn’t miss her chance and jumped up on her lap. Sat down She then asked Arin as she leaned against her body.
“Hey Ah-Lin? Sister, I have something to ask you. Will you answer me?”
“Yep!”
When Anastasia asked her cutely, leaning on herself, Arin nodded her head as if possessed by her.
“Do you know what that thing is?”
“Huh? It’s probably your brother’s work.”
This Arin threw her words out like that, as if she didn’t care about her question.
But Anastasia, who had come into her arms, opened her mouth again, probably thinking that she needed further explanation so that she could understand.
“Sometimes things like that happen. There are a few cases where they test magic or use magic and do strange things. There were times when they bought a bunch of cockroaches and brought them back, or they brought a flute and dozens of hamsters saying they wanted to imitate the piper man. …”
This Arin made an expression that seemed to miss her.
“It seems like it’s been a bit rare these days, but as expected… But that’s about as quiet as it gets, so don’t be too surprised… By the way, Anastasia? Would you like to have a meal with me?”
“It’s okay~”
“Because I’ll feed you…”
“It’s okay~”
Anastasia flatly rejected Arin’s offer of her own and she fell to the floor. She then went back to her seat coldly, not looking back as if she had finished her business. She then said, holding Ella’s hand.
“Let’s go take a look.”
“Yes?”
“Aren’t you curious?”
“Oh, no…”
Anastasia widened her eyes at Ella’s refusal.
Her face was as if she hadn’t expected her offer to be rejected.
She asked with her shocked face.
“Aren’t you curious?”
The words were the same as before, but the nuance was completely different.
If the previous one was close to her proposal, this time’s words are ‘You’re not curious about this? It was because there was an enormous amount of pressure, ‘Are you insane?
EllaHe shut his mouth for a moment at the sight of Anastasia putting curiosity above common sense or etiquette. Then, looking at her with her eyes filled with her sense of duty, she said.
“Sister. Let’s eat quietly.”
“Bob?”
Anastasia looked at her own table at her remarks that it was her rice.
Colorful.
A confectionery made of jelly and chocolate.
Anastasia took her eyes off her table and looked towards her window.
Vegetables and meat were flying through the air.
Veggies and meat!
I’m going out the window!
Not even on foot or crawling, but by flying!
Anastasia could not stand it.
She could hardly believe her mind, her instincts, the many lives she had lived in her dreams were telling her to jump out her window at once and see what had happened to her vegetables and meat.
Besides, she didn’t even say her instincts were dangerous, so it wouldn’t matter if she just checked for a second.
“Brother. This older sister is out and she seems to want to see that?”
“Eat and watch.”
“Your sister wants her little brother to see that?”
“Her brother told her sister to eat and watch her.”
“Then, since we don’t have to watch together, can you at least let go of her hand? It’s frustrating that her hand is tightly held.”
Anastasia wrote her herd to her brother. But her Ella, without batting an eye, caught her with her stern expression, took her back to her chair, and said that as long as she kept her eyes wide open, she wouldn’t be able to get out of here unless she finished her meal. She bluffed.
Anastasia pondered whether or not to jump out between Ella’s words and curiosity, but then she remembered what Ella had said about etiquette yesterday and quietly sat down to eat. Etiquette education is going to happen to her anyway, but she didn’t need to increase the intensity of that education.
“The restaurant now looks like the Archwitch took over from one hand…”
“I thought it was too sophisticated, but to think it was the work of the great witch…”
“Besides, the fact that she orders food herself is too awake…”
So, Anastasia listened roughly to the voices of older people in one ear and let them out through the other, focusing her entire body on the food and food ingredients.
She then ate her book gracefully and neatly, mimicking the table manners she had seen and heard in her dreams, lest Ella catch her book, and as she caught Ella’s bewildered stare at her, she left the restaurant. Went out
Clap.
And as soon as she closed the dining room door, she ran down the hallway and out into the garden.
Smart.
As soon as Anastasia came out of the garden, she gave her signal as if to be picked up by a tree in the right place. However, even after knocking twice, the tree did not respond, as if the effect of the witchcraft had ended, and she shook her head in disappointment and started running herself.
So she could finally get to where her vegetables and meat moved at a slow pace.
“Wow.”
The first thing that caught her eye were mushrooms.
It wasn’t a mushroom used as a food ingredient, but a mushroom as big as a stone that seemed to be half the size of her body at first glance. The mushroom was wearing a distinctive semicircle-shaped wide hat, and the white pillar-like body was bulging. And he was constantly moving the horizontal line at the top of the pillar, and it looked like a mushroom with a mouth, opening and closing its mouth wide, chewing something.
A total of ten such mushroomsIt was me.
Mushrooms opened their mouths at the same timing, and closed their mouths at the same timing, as if they had matched the timing. And at that timing, as if an invisible conveyor belt existed, the ingredients were cut into eleven pieces and entered the mushroom’s mouth. And every time the mushroom soaked up food ingredients, the mushroom gradually swelled up.
And in the center of the growing mushroom was Jinseong.
Jinseong, dressed in a light outfit of jeans and a shirt, was eating raw meat while lying on a soft-looking bed made up of several mushroom caps.
He chewed with his front teeth and fangs, drenched the mushrooms in the blood from the raw meat, and longed for the fruit floating on them to enter Jinseong’s stomach. As soon as it touched the cap of the mushroom, the blood disappeared in an instant, like water being absorbed into a sponge, and each time it did, it strangely gave the illusion of blood flowing through the mushroom.
Anastasia looked at him with admiration and then approached Jinseong. She then looked at Jinseong curiously and asked.
“Eun-in, is that delicious?”
“It’s good enough to eat.”
Jinseong answered Anastasia’s words full of curiosity.
However, unlike Jinseong’s words that it was edible, his expression was completely expressionless, and he showed an attitude that he had to eat it not because of the taste, but because he had a duty or not to die.
“What does it taste like?”
Anastasia felt a surge of curiosity in that expression.
And Jinseong acted as if he was used to her attitude.
“A taste that awakens my primal instincts.”
Even when Anastasia showed her curiosity, she didn’t show any resistance, and instead she gave an answer that stimulated her curiosity. And to see if it worked, Anastasia smiled cutely and asked for one of her own, and Jinseong took a small piece of her meat and put it on her hand.
And as she tried to bring it to her mouth with a curious look on her face…
“Kyaaa! Sister! Why are you trying to eat something like that!”
Ella, who had finished her meal and came out to the garden to watch over Anastasia, ran like lightning and snatched the raw meat from her hand.
