It was a woman who spoke to me.
Her lightly pigmented blue hair. Sharp eyes, gray eyes. A woman with a coy face narrowed her brows when her eyes met with me and then she talked to me.
“What a beautiful woman.”
Is that something to say with such a frown?
But she quickly reached out to me with a casual face and asked for a handshake.
“I’m here to give you the key. It’s Vanilla Eddy Ruskin, the owner of the mansion.”
The name sounds really soft but she looks really cold. n fact, in her novels, she appears only a few times, so I didn’t know much about her.
I got up from my seat and grabbed her hand.
“Nice to meet you, Ms. Ruskin. Did you get the sales contract? Then I’m the owner of the mansion from today.”
I was shaking hands with Vanilla while saying that, and Eden suddenly asked me.
“Mansion on the hill? Are you buying that abandoned house? Why would the Sinclair heiress have such a mansion?”
I looked back at Eden in surprise.
“Shh. Please be quiet. Are you going to advertise me as Cherry Sinclair?”
“Can’t I do that?”
It’s not that you can’t, but it’s because it gets annoying when people know it!
While whispering with Eden like that, Vanilla sighed deeply and told me.
“I know you’re Cherry Sinclair. It was written on the sales contract. And I don’t care who you are. All I’m interested in is money.”
Vanilla said it very firmly, as if telling me not to worry, which made me a little embarrassed.
‘Yes, I had to write my name on the sales contract.’
At that time, Eden, who was still listening to our conversation, pointed to Vanilla’s waist. Something was hanging from her waist.
“What’s that?”
“A bird.”
Did I hear you wrong? A bird?
Only then I found two birds hanging upside down from Vanilla’s waist.
Next to it was a holster with a shotgun in it. Why did I only find out about it now?
“The village chief asked me to catch some, so I hunted some. The pay is pretty good.”
……I thought I could finally understand why Vanilla was able to survive alone for half a year in the novel.
It didn’t seem to be just because the defense of the mansion was excellent.
Somehow I want to recruit her to the shelter I’m going to build from now on.
“Get the key.”
She put the key in my hand. At the same time, ahe did not forget the last request.
Brunel is in the countryside, and as you may have seen the mansion, it is in a very remote place. The repair costs alone will be enormous. It’s in my name, but I told you in advance that I don’t really recommend it because it’s a mansion that I had to inherit because of my father. It’s Miss. Sinclair’s choice to buy it.”
I wonder if Eden felt like this earlier. I nodded for a moment embarrassed by the spate of words. Vanilla continued with a cold face without any change in expression.
“I’m going to stay in this town for a while, so you can call me if you need me. However, we accept travel expenses.”
She rewrote the monocle and told me with a grim look. I nodded with a slightly puzzled face. Travel expenses?
“No matter how pretty and cute Miss Sinclair is, I can’t give you a discount.”
What are you talking about?
Vanilla handed me additional plans for the mansion. I opened the drawing I received and caught Vanilla turning around.
“Wait a minute, Ms. Ruskin.”
“Yes, speak.”
After replying like that, Vanilla took out her pocket watch and checked the time. She seemed to hate wasting time.
“Is there anything unusual about the mansion? I was wondering if there are any hidden facilities that are suitable for self-sufficiency.”
Vanilla looked at me with a stupid face as if I just asked a ridiculous question.
But in the novel, when she introduced the mansion, she definitely said this mansion was special. She also added that it is a mansion optimized for survival.
“Well, It’s good to turn the garden into a vegetable garden, or there’s a well, so it’s good to draw water and use it? Other than that, I don’t know exactly. There are so many mansions that I manage.”
I looked closely at Vanilla’s expression, but she really didn’t seem to know anything. So I was a little discouraged.
The only advantage of that mansion must have been its location and ease of self-sufficiency.
In fact, I’m worried about my capabilities of being self-sufficient and my vitality.
After dismissing vanilla, I left the restaurant, and went outside the village. I headed for the hill where the mansion is located.
Eden followed me, I stopped and turned my back instead of going up the hill.
A man dressed in a police uniform was leisurely climbing the hill with his hands in his pants pockets.
“Why do you keep following me?”
Eden, who was looking around, stopped when I asked, taking his hand out of his pants pocket, he stroked his chin and looked at the mansion over my shoulder.
“Because the house is in a very remote place. Looks perfect for sneaking and storing firearms. Hiding and embezzling business funds or something like that. Oh, I was talking to myself.”
He answers nonchalantly and smiles.
Why are you mentioning fireguns out of sudden? Besides, what do you mean by embezzlement? Maybe you are doing this because I took out a loan?
“I don’t know what you’re talking about. You must be very interested in the mansion, so you can look around the mansion and go…….”
I was talking irksomely, then blurted out the end of my sentence and closed my mouth.
‘Wait, did you say a firegun? That’s also illegal.’
With his personality, there is no way that such a thing could have been brought up for nothing, he never says useless things like that.
“……I see for now. What kind of weapon do you want specifically? I’ll also attach a teacher to teach you how to use it.”
“Like swords, crossbows, axes. All kinds! But Harrison, I don’t need a teacher… … .”
“Miss, I cannot concede this.”
All kinds of things
Come to think of it, when Harrison was asked to send weapons of all kinds, I realized that he was a great man who would send all kinds of firearms. Damn it.
“It seems to be a problem that I look around the mansion.”
Eden, who looked at me for a moment and hesitated for a moment, said. He crossed his arms and stood crookedly, examining my expression.
There are reasons why Eden should not look around the mansion, but there are countless reasons why he should not be involved with it.
In addition, the Sinclair family was not very clean, so it was also a problem that we had a lot of complaints. We can’t go to jail before the end of the world, can we?
“Well, of course! It makes no sense for a man to come into a house where a woman lives alone!”
“I’m not a stramge man, I’m a cop…….”
“But Isn’t the cop another man? A man is a man.”
“That’s true, but why is the conversation so conspicuous…”
Mie: she is doing this on purpose as if to attract people there.
“If you don’t have a warrant, everyone is a man and a beast!”
“Gee, beast…. What?”
Eden looked at me with a face as if he couldn’t believe what I heard. I put my hand on my waist in high spirits and shouted.
“If you follow me like that, you are an animal.”
“The logic is strange.”
“Huh? It would be bad if more people came.”
Due to my childish logic, Eden’s face looking at me was quite impressive. What a stupid long face !
I ran swiftly up the hill while he stood in a daze.
I opened the gate of the mansion with a key, went inside, locked it tightly with a latch, and sighed.
Maybe I should call Harrison in the capital.
* * *
No matter how much I looked around the spacious mansion, no firearms came out.
It was a matter of course. How long has it been since I bought the mansion? Had Harrison already sent a gun already?
Still, I wanted to call Harrison just in case, but the phone in this small town was only at the police station.
‘I am not going to run into Eden again, am I?’
I stood in front of the police station and pondered for a while. It was annoying to have to go all the way to Kint’s to find another phone
n/t: I think Kint’s is the nearest village-
‘All right, let’s go in.’
I cautiously opened the door to the police station, hoping that Eden had gone out of the office, and a bizarre sight caught my eye.
A disfigured man was lying on the floor.
The man’s clothes were torn and tattered, and Eden was sitting on his back. While drinking Scotch whiskey leisurely.
Eden looks up at me with a puzzled face.
His police uniform jacket could not be seen where it had gone, and his white shirt had three or four unbuttoned from the top. It seemed to have been ripped off, to be exact.
The man who was crushed by Eden groaned.
Eden shook off the Scotch whisky he was holding and placed an empty glass on the head of the fallen man.
“Hey, if you drop this and break it, you’ll die.”
Eden who spoke harshly toward the man, looked back at me.
“You ruthlessly kicked me away in a really cruel way, so what are you doing here?”
T/n: why is he sounding so hurt help-
