The Shaman Wants Transcendence

64 – The White Witch of Rumpelstiltschen

Ia Lin, who was running on her snow, arrived at a house not far from the hotel.

Because it was built on the outskirts of the city, it had a quiet atmosphere unlike the inside of the city, and all the walls of the mansion were made of black wood. With the pointed roof added to it, it looked like a witch’s house from a fairy tale.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Ding dong! Ding dong!

Having reached the front of her house, Arin Lee began knocking excitedly on the doorbell with one hand and the door with the other.

“It’s a rabbit! It’s a rabbit!”

If it was in the city center rather than a quiet suburb, it would have been reported as noise right away.

Rattle!

“I told you not to call me a rabbit! Puma Корея́нка!”

The landlord, unable to stand the noise that echoed through her house, ran to her and slammed the door open, making the sound of her running, and as soon as she saw Arin’s face, she screamed. However, this Arin clung to her with a laugh as if she was not afraid of her appearance at all, and even though she hated it, he crossed her arms and entered her house naturally.

She then, of her own accord, went over to her sofa and sat her down on her own, and sat down beside it herself.

“Rabbit~ I’ll ask you one favor~”

“Don’t call me rabbit!”

“Okay, Ella.”

“Don’t even call me by name pretending to be friendly!”

“Okay~ Ella B Winter!”

Ella glared at Arin’s face with a bashful smile as if her head was pounding.

Then, with a deep sigh, she tucked her long, untidy white hair behind her and asked:

“Yes… Frau Lee. What is it?”

Ella looked at Iarin with bright red eyes reminiscent of beautiful jewels.

Her expressionless face seemed to reveal her innermost thoughts, ‘Just say something and go away.’

However, Iarin smiled generously.

“When you stare at it like that, it looks like a real rabbit.”

“Don’t call me a rabbit! You really are!”

“Why~ other people sing well~”

“It’s a problem because you do it!”

Rabbit (Hase).

For Ella, who has white hair, red eyes, and pale skin, it has been a word she has heard every day since childhood, and after she came to study in Russia, she was nicknamed rabbit (зайка) instead of her name.

That’s why there was no objection to the word rabbit itself.

However, even the same sentence or the same word can have completely different meanings depending on who uses it.

“First of all, get away! There’s plenty of seats, so why do you come and sit next to me?! That’s why I don’t want to hear rabbits from you!”

“Ah~ Why~ It’s good to be close, right?”

“Oh, really! Are you a real lesbian?!”

The word rabbit can simply represent an animal, or it can be used to describe a cute and pretty woman.

But it was also used for other purposes.

It’s just a nickname.

In Germany, it was also used as a nickname used when calling a girlfriend.

“Get off first! Go! Sit on the floor!”

Ella chased Arin, who kept trying to keep her arm in arm, to her floor.

As this Arin landed on her floor, she naturally sat cross-legged and looked at her.

From noble mtl dot com

“To your countryI don’t know if standing arms are between friends, but we do it between lovers. How many times do I have to tell you?”

“But this is a different country~ If you come to another country, I don’t think it’s bad to accept the culture. Huh?”

“This isn’t my country, but it’s not your country either! No, even in Russia, women don’t cross arms!”

“It’s not like that~ They walk around with their arms crossed here as well~”

“…Yes. It is, but…”

Ella thought of Ia-rin, who was seen everywhere in the school.

Take a nap on the roof

Or drink beer with a bear.

She builds an igloo and cooks her meat there.

When it’s lunchtime, she crosses arms with the other girls and goes to the cafeteria to eat together…

Okay.

That’s not wrong.

Arin Lee melted into the school with her pretty looks and affable personality.

Besides, she’s a human capybara, she’s friendly with all of her huge group of girls, and is petted by her teachers. Moreover, her affinity is so great that even though she does her skinship, which seems excessive for Ella, she is accepted without complaint.

According to Lee A-rin and Lee Se-rin, it was an ordinary expression of intimacy among Korean high school girls, which she found difficult to accept.

“Anyway, don’t do it to me… No, that’s fine. So what’s going on?”

In addition to her nagging about why she shouldn’t do it, Ella, who was trying to drive a nail into herself, gave up when she saw Ah-rin’s innocent, or in other words innocent, expression on her face.

It was because she had an intuition that even if she spoke, it would not work.

Iarin saw her resigned expression and slipped up onto the sofa and sat down.

Then, before Ella could say anything of hers, she pulled out her smartphone and held it out to her, and she said.

“I was going to get some of these, but I thought I could get them from my rabbit~”

“Our rabbit…”

Name has been upgraded.

Not just a rabbit, but our rabbit.

But Giella, who is finding it hard to even point it out now, just sighed deeply.

Ella looked at the text she had given her, and she couldn’t help but sigh again.

“Is this Korean?”

“Huh!”

“…I can’t speak Korean?”

“Huh? Can’t you? It’s already time…”

“Do you think I can learn a language in an instant like you do?”

Ella glared at the deceiver, who boasted of her mastery of languages without her realizing it.

“Original language takes a long time to learn. Unmanned people like you learn it quickly because they have developed a language acquisition device.”

“But Ise-rin learned it in an instant?”

“Your sister is a Contractor! The Contractor is said to act as a Schema!”

“But you learn long rains in an instant?”

“What else is O-Rae-bi?”

Ella tilted her head at the unfamiliar expression she had heard for the first time.

‘Old rain? If you look at the context, it sounds like a person’s name… Was there such a person at school?’

“It’s another expression for Bruder.”

“Huh? Did you have an older brother? Is he also a soldier?”

“Ah-ni, Shaman.”

Powwow?

You have a shaman brother?

She looked at Iarin curiously.

“Having a shaman brother. That’s great.For the first time, I became interested in your family.”

“The house? Why?”

Ella looked at her as if asking because she didn’t know.

From a rich family.

Among her sisters, the older sister is the strongest unmanned.

The younger of her sisters is a contractor.

Even with these three things, she seems to be a prestigious family, and her brother is a shaman named Gi-in.

Of course, there are bound to be questions like, ‘What kind of aristocratic family is your family, so you made all of your children into talented people?’

“Anyway, longbi also learned the language in an instant?”

“Because your brother… Buys magic… Um…”

Ella’s voice fell.

Since she’s a witch doctor, I’d say she must have used some special method, but if you ask what that special method is, she has nothing to say.

It was difficult to determine exactly what witchcraft was.

In addition, although people who use witchcraft in a lump are called ‘shamans’, the skills they use vary widely, and each person expresses a different form, so their individuality is often expressed through the title.

A necromancer who uses corpses through special treatment, a necromancer who casts evil spirits and demons, a possessor who captures the soul and uses it on his body, an astrologer who uses precognitive powers, a mechanic who uses magic through a machine, and a doll A puppeteer, etc…

As a joke, it was even said that ‘the type of shaman is the same as the number of shamans’.

So, there must be magic that makes learning a language easier or magic that makes one’s brains better, but when asked what that magic was, I couldn’t say more than ‘I think it’s just there’.

And what’s the point of spouting such baseless words?

It means you lost the argument.

‘I lost an argument? Not to anyone else, but to this man-shaped beast?’

I don’t know about other people, but I didn’t want to be pushed away by words from Iarin.

That’s why Ella used the cheat key.

“Anyway, languages are hard to learn! You know that!”

Instead of continuing her argument, Ella chose to force it to an end.

She then slipped her words around.

“So, what is the thing you need to find?”

“Ah, were you talking about that? Can you read it to me? 30kg of birch firewood, a goat not older than 10 months old…”

This Arin began to read her texts in German, and Ella stuck her tongue out at the list of ‘less rare but subtly difficult to obtain’ items that came out of her mouth.

“…One of the first rodents born! End!”

“Oh… It’s not expensive, but it’s subtly rare, and if you try, you can get it, but it’s full of annoying things. So, are you here to ask me to get you this item?”

“Huh!”

“I’m a witch, but I don’t have any of those things. I think I’ve come to the wrong place.”

“Ah~ you know~ you have it. You said that since a baby was born a while ago, you sell it to earn pocket money~”

“Yes?”

Ella asked, puzzled by Iarin’s words.

“Hasn’t it sold yet? Goat.”

“Goat…?”

Annoyance crept across Ella’s face.

“It’s not a goat, it’s a goat! The symbol itself is different! Goat!”
