01-14-The general concept of being nervous because you’re beautiful doesn’t work for me.

It was breathtaking.

She was about twenty years old. She had long, silky white hair, a high nose, and fresh lips. Her large ice blue eyes were so beautiful that they betrayed all my images of beautiful women.

“What?”

The clear voice that was spoken to me.

A voice so clear and beautiful that it betrayed me even more.

“I’ve got something to do with that box.”

But I’m not going to lose my cool over this.

Because I’ve been unattractive at every turn, and I don’t expect anything.

The more beautiful they are, the more distant they are from you. Not from my point of view, but from their point of view, I must be nothing more than a stone on the roadside that they can see through the ice blue that they must have loved so much to be so beautiful.

In other words, the more beautiful the person is, the less chance there is for me to get close to them. Therefore, there was no adrenaline rush from the excitement, and I would not be frightened. Well, if you ask me, I’m usually nervous, but the general concept of being nervous because you’re a beautiful woman just doesn’t work for me.

“here”

“Yes, there”

The albino beauty pointed to the box I had business with and showed me a cute tilt of her head, as if being beautiful wasn’t enough.

After confirming that she had taken a step back, I stood in front of the box. Damn, how much I’m missing, she smells so sweet, refreshing and nice.

Trader: Lydia Milliolein Shirogane

[Request] Medicinal herbs (70 more)

[Out] 16 Copper

──────────

“Whoa, lucky me. I’m the only one trading.”

I type in 14 and the number.

<< I handed over 14 herbs >>

《Win 2 Silver 24 Copper》

《From Lydia Milliorein Shirogane》

<<”Thank you for your transaction” >>

<< Transaction completed >>

The bag of coins became a little heavier. Because of the small size of the coins, I didn’t feel much gravity, but I did get a great sense of relief from having gained the gold.

“Thank you for your business.”

“Yeah.”

The silver-haired beauty who was staring at me from behind uttered the same line as in the message window.

“Fujima Toru-kun?”

“Yes, but ……”

Even though I knew that the beautiful woman in front of me was probably Lydia Migliorein Shirogane, the person I was dealing with for the herbs, I couldn’t understand why she knew my name.

“Because the trader can see the name of the person with whom she’s dealing.”

“Oh, really?”

On top of that, she seems to be smart enough to read my questions from my expression and answer them.

“……, then it was nice to meet you.”

There was no way I was going to be shaken by a chance encounter with a beautiful woman, so I simply turned on my heel and left the deserted market…

“Wait”

──On the way, I was stopped from my back.

No, no. My face wouldn’t be this hot if I had just been stopped.

She grabbed me by the wrist. Can I say that

My right wrist was gently wrapped from behind by thin, supple, yet soft fingertips. My face became hot via my right wrist, right elbow, right arm, and right shoulder.

Again, I don’t have a simp on beautiful women. But I think body touching is a foul.

“What is it?”

“Where do you get the medicinal herbs that you bring?”

When I turned around, my face was so close to hers that I jumped back to calm my mind. Seriously, what’s up with the fresh breath?

“I’m sorry, I wanted to know”

Although Ms Lydia’s words were not raised, her expression did not report that I was in pain, but rather, “Sorry? Did it hurt?” She was apologizing to me.

Her speech was a little slurred, as if she was trying to show off her humanity, as if she were a woman with inhuman beauty and sex appeal. Her weaknesses, which I finally found through the colored glasses that make me look for the worst in people, seemed to be a rather soft gap and did not make me feel sarcastic.

“No, I’m sorry, I’m not used to being touched by women.”

“me too”

No, I don’t get it, like me too. I have a feeling you’d have a wider variety of men than women.

“So how did you get the herbs?”

I wonder, it’s pretty crazy.

I wonder if she suspects me of being a fake.

However, her extremely neat expression doesn’t let me know that. Her face is expressionless, or rather, lukewarm. She looked sleepy, if anything, she didn’t seem interested, and I wondered what the hell was going on.

But I couldn’t think of any reason to hide it.

“I gathered epee grass and life herbs near the south gate and mixed them up.”

“Mixing …. you can do that.”

There it is. It’s those lukewarm eyes.

The dull eyes of the beautiful ice-blue of the neat face appealed to me, telling me that there was no room for deception.

Do you know how to mix?　Is not what she means…

Why do you say you can do that while you can’t?　…… It seemed to be asked that way, and I felt cold.

“Technically, I have a friend at the inn. I leave the blending to her.”

“Professional.”

“No. We’ve only been here for a week.”

“I want to talk to you.”

“About what….?”

“I want to talk to you, and I want to talk to the other person, Toru Kun.”

To be honest, I wanted to refuse.

I was afraid that the frighteningly beautiful woman was going to reveal a lot of things about me. In addition, she called me by my first name as a matter of course, and I was afraid of the atmosphere that did not make such unnatural things seem unnatural.

“Please. Where is your house?”

Ice blue says.

“If you don’t tell me, I’ll follow you.”

Oh, this is a dead end.
