Chapter 53: Coincidence?

Hmm? Did I say wrong?

Hearing the screams from the Guild building getting louder, Desmond was confused, but it was only for a while when a notification from the system blocked his view.

[Detected killing intent around host]

Desmond's expression changed from confusion to seriousness; he turned his head back and forth only to find people looking at him with envy or the same gaze when he came down from the guild's top floor.

Too many suspects, it will be hard for me.

"Annie, Laura, keep going but don't go to our house."

When Laura heard this, she then refuted, "But young master, isn't it--"

"Just follow my orders!"

"Yes, young master" 2x

The thing that the maids were afraid of had finally happened, Annie and Laura had annoyed Desmond quite a bit, they also forgot what the senior maid said, who always obeyed Desmond's orders.

Luckily this isn't at home; otherwise, who knows what Desmond will do?

…

After circling the same route a few times, the stalker finally realized that his target knew he was being followed.

Desmond's situation, even though he had used the system, still couldn't find out who was following him.

Maybe there are ghosts in this world ?!

It is absolutely impossible, even -

Suddenly having an idea, Desmond then changed his search system by entering non-humans into his category, and immediately the energy spreads in the air and hits the body of the stalker.

[System: found the target]

[Analyzing…]

[System: The target's current appearance is a four-legged beast]

Four legs? Cat?

"Annie, Laura, let's see if there's a four-legged star following us?"

"Four legs? Laura, who heard this, was confused and then she remembered something. "Ah, isn't there a dog that people have been greeting every time we pass, Annie?"

Laura asked this so hard, which made the stalker froze and stopped following.

"Stupid, fuck!" Turning to Laura, Desmond snapped at her, then he turned to Annie. "Annie, chase that dog until you can!"

"Yes, young master!" Before Annie left, she looked at Laura for a moment, shaking her head in disappointment.

Laura, who saw this, lowered her head in embarrassment while helping Desmond walk.

…

Meanwhile, the dog that was being talked about immediately ran away when he saw a maid woman with blonde hair coming towards him.

He took a small path like a passageway, a drain, but still, the woman followed him.

The thing that annoyed him was that the woman followed him with a flat expression as if she didn't have to exert much energy.

Unwillingly, the dogs led their way down a small alley, where the slaves lived.

…

Meanwhile, after Annie went after the mysterious dog, Desmond felt relieved. He saw his body, which was covered in bandages and only covered by a cloak.

Considering it would be a long journey as they were going so 'slowly' with their current conditions, Desmond looked around, hoping to find a clothing store.

How could he be cold like this all the way?

After looking around, Desmond found one of the clothes shops that seemed very fitting to his eyes.

"Stop, Laura, go to the shop."

Desmond tried to indicate the intended shop by tilting his head several times towards the clothing shop.

"Laura, Laura, Laura"

Desmond called her several times, but Laura still walked and made Desmond yell at her again with a loud voice. "Laura !!"

Hearing the master's scream, Laura regained consciousness and stopped. She then turned only to see Desmond looking angry.

"y..es .. young master?" She tried to speak calmly but failed and instead spoke while shivering with fear.

Actually, Laura had only thought about pleasing her young master, but now the opposite happened.

"Didn't you hear what I said earlier? Go to that shop. "

Desmond knew the difference between bullying a subordinate and giving him a reprimand.

At this time, he saw Laura's reaction was exaggerated with the assumption that Laura's mentality was not good right now.

Desmond then ordered her for the second time but in a tone that was neither high nor low, neutral.

"Yes ... Yes, young master."

Laura nodded several times, without realizing it also made Desmond's body nod as if they both respected each other.

This made the people on the street laugh seeing them, while Desmond was a little annoyed but still accepted it, considering this subordinate's mentality to be his fault.

…

* ring * * ring *

The door inside the clothing shop sounded, and two people entered. The people inside the shop saw a woman carrying or helping a small child from a height, walking in a robe.

When Desmond looked at the situation in the shop, he was quite amazed by the interior design. It was almost the same as a modern shop, where clothes were hanging below, so the customer only had to choose.

The thing that distinguishes it is that if the clothes are hung on iron poles in the modern world, then in this shop, the clothes rotate in a circle.

Each circle represents each type of dress, like a circle that only has a dress spinning around without tools, with only an energy stone in the middle of the ring.

For Laura, who entered the clothing shop for the first time, was also surprised and eager to choose the clothes, but she knew that today was on duty, not shopping.

In the saint world society, only well-off people can enter a clothes shop. People who can't afford it usually buy shirts at the market in the middle of the city, and Laura is one of those people.

It was only after he finished observing that Desmond saw a familiar face in this shop and subconsciously called out to that person as well.

"Elizabeth?"

...

As usual, Elizabeth was picking clothes in a dress circle, suddenly heard her name being called. She turned to the voice source and saw only a child who was about her age in a robe calling her.

"Yes, who are you?"

Desmond then approached, and that also made Elizabeth move away. He also saw the shop guards were getting ready to hold weapons if something terrible happened to Elizabeth.

Ah, looks like this veil is making them misunderstand.
