As Dawn suspected, the weakest link lay in the neck. Once the pretty lady dislodged the head from the body, a terrifying screech blasted the room and shattered every glass object in the vicinity. Dawn cusped his head out of reflex due to the shockwave, but the hamster wasn’t so fortunate and directly fainted from the sound blast.
“Is it over?” Dawn peers up after waiting for a while and heard nothing, “Is it alright now? Is that female ghost gone? Did you destroy it?”
The pretty lady swings around and slightly frowns at the bombardment of words: “Of course not, the ghost withdrew on her own for some reason when I saw an opening. I suspect it will come back in the future for you.”
Dawn’s hopeful expression immediately crumbled. “Then what should I do?”
“Let’s make a deal.” The pretty lady flicked her eyes at the pendant which was hanging around his neck, “You give me that mysterious pendant, and I will help you solve this problem.”
Dawn pinched his chin in thought over the offer. Truth be told, he didn’t have a strong reason to keep this pendant that he found again today. He wasn’t an idealist, that’s for sure, and he’s easily satisfied if he could eat and drink well in his peaceful life. But somehow, deep inside his subconsciousness, something in there told him not to hand it over to anyone at any cost.
Countering with a question, “Wouldn’t it be easier for you to take it off my hands or threaten my life directly?”
“Seriously, your thought pattern is too dirty. That way of doing things is not in accordance with my standard of being a monster.” That said, the pretty lady’s expression became a little unhappy, “I was accidentally locked inside that pendant before. I believe it’s perhaps a treasure so it got my desire up. But if you aren’t up for a trade then that’s fine too.”
If Dawn didn’t understand by now then he’s a true idiot. That cat meowing from before was definitely from this pretty lady standing in front of himself. This girl, she’s likely a cat monster of some sort.
Drawing a tad of his consciousness to dive into the item inventory, he confirmed the theory when there’s nothing inside.
Hesitating for a moment, he directly refuses, “Sorry, although you saved me, I can’t give this to you.”
“That’s fine. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have gotten out of the pendant either. Consider it even between us. Well then, farewell, I’ll be taking my leave now.”
The beautiful lady glanced around for the exit but chose the window in the end. Then right as she was about to jump out with a foot already at the ledge, her head suddenly turned and asked: “Oh right, mind telling me who the current emperor is?”
??? Girl, how long have you been locked up in there?!
Dawn made an astounded face as his jaws dropped, “Miss, there hasn’t been an emperor in this country for at least a century! That’s more than a hundred years ago….”
“….” The lady stared back with wide eyes as well to let their gazes meet, both equally as shocked and flabbergasted.
After half a ring, the lady silently withdrew her feet from the window and returned to the house. Muttering to herself, “No wonder the outside looked so wrong… Oh this is so frustrating, how could I have been locked up for so long…”
“Brother, how much do you charge for staying here?” The pretty lady sighed heavily, “I need a place to live and a competent…. Uhh, a guide to familiarize myself with the current era.”
Dawn blinked and couldn’t help but sigh in his heart that things could be so unpredictable. On the same day, two monsters wanted to stay in his home and a ghost that wanted to murder him.
Looks like my life is about to get a lot more interesting….
