Chapter 189 – 189. When do you feel excited for a man?
Claire General Store.
A simple store created by Claire, who traveled around the continent collecting antiques to finance her travels.
As befits a place with many unique items, the general store itself had a unique moving system.
In the game, everything you encounter is luck except the first time you use it.
If you are unlucky, you may not be able to use his general store until the end of the game.
The lively and humorous items he sells are often treasures with significant effects, but there are times when they demand a high price or when he wants other items rather than money.
“So you’re saying you bought something at Claire’s General Store?”
Ophelia gave no answer to my questions.
I let out an exasperated sigh as I saw him lying face down, acting like he was dead.
“It would be better to do it in moderation. “My patience toward the living is not as deep as I thought.”
“ah.”
Ophelia remembered once again that I was a warlock along with my name as a memorial priest.
One thing that was convenient while working in the Griffin Kingdom was that I could openly reveal that I was a warlock.
Since citizens still have a deep sense of discomfort and fear towards warlocks, it was effective when intimidating them.
“If you want to know that death is not actually the end, you can keep your mouth shut. “My specialty is listening to the voices of the dead rather than the living.”
“Ha, Hansen! “I said I wanted to live with my lover!”
If you scare them like this, most people immediately respond by muttering food.
For ordinary people, the absolute fear of death and the possibility of more pain than that must be quite a psychological pressure.
“You bought a house with your lover?”
“I paid the price, I paid my daughter!”
“… … !”
“After that! I got this tattoo on my chest! For some reason, I gained favor from the opposite sex! That’s really it!”
Several parts of what she was saying were jarring and uncomfortable. First of all, it was clear that the Claire General Store she had been to was different from the place I knew.
‘Claire General Store only sells the items on display, and does not meet such vague demands.’
When I didn’t say anything, Ophelia must have thought that I was worried about her treatment and shouted with her head still lowered.
“Well, all the people I had feelings for but lost those feelings died! But that’s not really what I did!”
“… … .”
“I didn’t use any magic! He didn’t even swing a sword! Is it my fault that I simply liked someone and then gave up on them? “How can you control your emotions!”
Ophelia claims her injustice. It was complicated, perhaps because she couldn’t speak her language, so it was necessary to organize her information as if untangling her tangled threads.
First, Ophelia purchased a cohabitation with her lover at Claire’s General Store a year ago.
Second, it was her daughter who demanded the price from Claire’s General Store.
Third, her dead daughter appears and kills the person she loved but whose feelings have cooled. Ofelia’s ex-husband and this time Hansen are the victims.
‘I sold my daughter in exchange for living with Hansen. Then, as her feelings for Hanssen, which Ophelia had for her, cooled, her daughter appeared and she killed him.’
In addition, I heard that there were quite a few other male victims around Ophelia.
‘There must be many more unknown victims.’
As she was disguised as an accidental death or a soldier, it was impossible to estimate how many men the woman in front of her had killed out of love over the past year.
But can this woman be held guilty of murder?
‘It won’t be easy.’
Even if you somehow get involved with killing your ex-husband or daughter and make them pay for it, it’s difficult for them to deal with other victims.
In the end, what the woman did was simply a completely natural thing that her love had cooled.
Because it was her daughter who killed her.
Even if there is a connection with the Claire General Store, will it be possible to properly explain it at trial with a general store whose location is unknown?
Perhaps the woman in front of her has made this calculation several times, so even though she has been exposed, she is speaking with confidence.
On the contrary, when speaking to me, he took on the intonation that he was the victim.
In the end, in order to solve the case, you have to see Claire’s General Store or her daughter at least once.
It’s almost impossible to find Claire’s General Store, so that’s what you have to do in the end.
“Do you know when your daughter will come out again?”
Ophelia nodded to my question, but her expression did not look good.
“Well, it only shows up when I realize that my affection has cooled! but… … “No one has anything else on their mind right now.”
“after.”
Even if I investigated Ophelia like this, I didn’t think I would find anything.
I had no intention of leaving this cunning yet cunning woman like this, and I was determined to make her pay the price.
First of all, to solve it.
I needed to make her love, and I also needed to let that feeling cool down.
“ha.”
I sighed deeply.
Who should play that role?
Because my head was already pounding.
Since it is not clear how the daughter goes about killing men, it is difficult to get help from others.
But for now.
Even if it was to find out about the abnormal phenomenon at Claire’s General Store that was different from what I knew, and also to eliminate innocent victims who will continue to appear in the future.
This woman needed to have feelings for someone, even if only superficially.
“It would have been nice to have Deius.”
“yes?”
“I’m talking to myself.”

First of all, what I was most worried about about this incident was whether to share Ophelia’s truth with the women around me.
Even if it was a public matter, I was asking women who expressed interest in me about how to seduce other women.
Although I wasn’t the exact target, I knew how insensitive it was just to say something like this.
However, since I don’t have the skills to steal a woman’s heart, I needed advice.
As I said before, it would have been really nice to have Deius.
I felt a deep regret that I should have brought Illuania at least.
In the end, the compromise was that question.
While receiving advice, do things without them knowing.
Suddenly, I felt that it had been a long time since I had acted like this, as if I was watching someone’s thoughts.
Anyway, the eyes of Findeneye, Erica, Professor Per, the dark spirit, and Stella who were in the lab were immediately focused on me.
Of course, the first to respond was Finden Eye.
“Did you get shot in the head?”
“… … .”
“Does it hurt somewhere? “Did you hit him hard on the head when you fought the Archdemon?”
It was quite an excessive reaction, but the important thing was that everyone agreed with Findenai for today.
“what’s the matter? If I’m sick, I’ll go to the health room and get some medicine. Or do you want to just go and get some rest?”
“Well, is the prosthetic arm wrong?”
Erica urgently approaches me and checks my condition, and Professor Per asks if there is something wrong with her prosthetic hand.
[Even ghosts can give you goosebumps. I just got a little creeped out.]
[If you are very tired, would you like me to give you a massage?]
The Dark Spirit and Stella, who were talking among themselves on either side, also looked in my direction and expressed their respective reactions.
Because the complicated situation is already giving me a headache.
“It’s no big deal.”
I waved my hand, thinking I was just trying to get advice, but Findeneye just laughed.
“When do I get excited about a man? Huh, that’s funny. “The owner also asks questions like that.”
“I never expected an answer from you.”
I didn’t think that Findenai, who was more like an animal than a woman, could get the appreciation of an ordinary woman.
I just happened to be next to him and heard the questions together.
Then, an exasperated Findenai responded by raising his middle finger.
“Isn’t it only when you get the heads of four great devils that you get excited?!”
“ha.”
“She’s such a big-hearted woman!”
As I watched him pounding his chest with his fist, something like a barbarian or a Viking came to mind.
Looking at Finden Eye, who had not changed even a little despite going through all the trouble, I got the feeling that he was truly a giant.
“Letter of break of engagement… When to give it?”
“… … .”
The moment I heard Erica’s answer as she glanced from the side, I realized I had made a mistake.
I should have asked ordinary people about their views on relationships, but the people around me, to put it kindly, were far from ordinary.
“I’ve never experienced anything like that.”
Professor Per scratches the back of his head and looks embarrassed. If you look at her, she’s only working with prosthetic hands and legs in the lab every day, so there’s no way she has time to meet men.
[When you saved my soul from being consumed by the flames of the Holy Grail.]
Stella smiled slyly and whispered to me.
The answers now turn into stories of memories of our experiences.
I was expecting a meaningless answer.
I thought I should just take care of it myself, but the dark spirit on the other side of Stella hesitated and answered.
[Well, don’t you automatically get excited just by spending time together?]
“hmm?”
The head that was lowered on the desk slowly turns and looks at the dark spirit. She covered her hand over the black cloth covering her face, hiding another layer of her expression, as if she was somehow embarrassed.
“At least.”
I got my point from a really normal answer.
