The Shaman Wants Transcendence

65 – The White Witch of Rumpelstiltschen

“Isn’t it the same?”

“Different!”

“Anyway, can’t it be used as a substitute for goat?”

“The symbol itself is different! No, didn’t you hear about this in a liberal arts class a while ago?!”

“Lately?”

“Don’t you remember?! In ‘Life and Symbols 2’, you lectured on ‘Bafometz and Gnosticism’! There, you could learn about the difference between regional names and symbols of Baphomet, and the difference between the symbols of goats and goats and the process of change. You learned!”

Ella’s exasperated cry.

“Ah~ I don’t remember, I don’t remember. Even if I learn symbols like that, I won’t be able to use them. You and Lee Se-rin are nagging too much.”

Returning to her cry, it was words that would make a liberal arts professor’s clothes explode.

Ella was speechless at the words beyond her imagination.

“…Ah.”

What more can I say here

He said he doesn’t remember that and has no intention of memorizing it.

No matter how easily she explains the difference between goats and goats and their symbolism, that man-shaped beast will hear it with one ear and let it go with the other.

Ella gave up on explaining.

Instead, she lifted Arin and shoved him on the back.

“Uh?”

Without saying a word, she opened her door and sent her out of her house, closing her door with her bang and locking it tight. Then she scrambled off like a zombie and lay down on her couch, deeply satisfied that she had removed the cause of her headache before her very eyes.

Bang bang!

“Rabbit! Open the door!”

Ella put on her headphones, ignoring the noise outside her door.

She listened to the song playing on her headphones.

The song that she had been using as a lullaby ever since she came to study abroad in Russia, the Cossack’s Lullaby ([Казачья колыбельная), was whispered in her ear in a not too small or loud voice, and a middle-aged woman’s voice comforted her body and mind. Did it

Her body is losing strength.

Inhalation and exhalation change regularly.

Various thoughts and thoughts disappear, and the head turns white.

With the feeling that your body is getting heavy, you start to separate from the world.

She fell asleep

Sleep well, my pretty baby

Lullaby – Lullaby (Баюшки-баю.)

I will tell you a fairy tale

Let me sing you a song (Песенку спою;)

So close your eyes and go to sleep

Lullaby – Lullaby (Баюшки-баю.)

My angel, calmly, sweetly

Lullaby – Lullaby (Баюшки-баю.)

I pray all day long

At night, I will foretell your fate (По ночам гадать;).

My angel, sweetly (мой ангел, сладко,)

Lullaby – Lullaby (Баюшки-баю.)

I pray all day (Стану целый день молиться,)

At night, I will foretell your fate (По ночам гадать;).

Lullaby – Lullaby (Баюшки-баю.)

Lullaby – Lullaby (Баюшки-баю.)

Darkness had fallen when Ella opened her eyes.

It wasn’t just darkness, it was a darkness embracing a cold chill.

‘Ah… I must have slept without turning on the stove…’

She blew on her lightly, feeling the coolness passing through her lungs with each breath she took. Her breath had a shape as it blew with a ha-ha, and she clearly witnessed her breath take on a white appearance and then disappear with her enhanced body.

‘It’s too cold…’

She tried to get up and get up, thinking that she should get up and turn on the stove.

Water.

But the moment she stepped her foot under her couch, she felt something soft, and realized it was strangely warm and firm.

‘What is this…’

As she yawned from her slumber, she looked at what she was stepping on and…

“Kyaaak!”

I had to scream.

Person.

There was a person lying in an unusual position!

Ella, startled by her sauce, summoned her own familiar spirit.

“Ignis fatuus!”

Then a small ember grew in front of her, which turned into light in the form of her orb, as if she herself were a light bulb. It was made of white light and the size of a soccer ball floated in the air and circled around Ella, as if it had called it.

Ella, thanks to her familiar, lit up the area around her sofa, she lowered her head to see what she was stepping on. I could feel it turning into irritation.

The one she was stepping on was Iarin.

This Arin was sleeping on her bare floor in the cold weather, with her worldly comfortable posture and expression. Besides, what the hell was she dreaming of, she was lying there in a nice pose, which in Ella’s eyes looked very mean.

Ella slipped her teasing familiar to herself into her hand, and she grabbed Arin’s shoulder and shook her.

“Wake up.”

“Huh?”

Ella woke her halfway up and then lifted her upper body up.

Aww!

He slapped Iarin’s back in a defenseless state.

“Oops!”

“I can’t live!”

Match!

“It stings! Wait! Ella! Wait!”

“How surprised! Do you know?!”

Wow!

“Evil!”

“And here again! How did you get in!”

“Stop! Stop!”

“And what! It’s not even a real beast! Why do you sleep on the bare floor! Talk to me! Talk to me!”

Damn!

Ella was able to calm herself down after slapping Arin’s back for a long time, and looked at Arin’s clean back with no traces of her handprints and palms that had turned red.

“Real soldiers are frauds… How can they not leave traces…The one who hit hurts more… It makes no sense…”

“So stop it.”

Arin, who climbed onto the sofa, smiled and cupped Ella’s hand with one hand and her familiar floating in the air with the other. Even though Ella wasn’t even her master, she quietly gave her body and glanced at her familiar, who was acting cute, to see if she was annoyed.

“Our wisp. Cute, cute.”

Why is it that even if I get annoyed at that appearance, it disappears in an instant?

Ella thought that her Ia-Lynn was like a cat who didn’t listen to her, she asked with a sigh.

“So… Frau Lee. How did you get in here?”

In response to her question, Arin gave a rather puzzled expression.

“Huh? The other day, you told me to come over anytime and gave you the key.”

“Yes? Me? When?”

“When? You know when the bear came with vodka.”

“…Ah.”

When the bear brought vodka.

With that sentence, Ella could understand what had happened to her.

Not long ago, Arin came to Ella’s house holding hands with a bear holding vodka. She brought the bear something called vodka, and she said why don’t you try it too, and they had a drinking party at her house, and Ella got a glass of vodka out of her curiosity and ate it.

And… She could go through what is called a ‘Blackout’.

Yes.

Ella drinks her vodka and her film cuts out.

“…I took a sip and I don’t remember. What did I do then?”

At the time, I thought he would have just quietly fallen asleep…

Ella sneakily asked Iarin.

“It was the first time in my life that I saw drunkenness.

However, instead of a clear answer, what she returned was Arin looking at herself as if she was cute and smiling.

Ella screamed.

“Tell me!”

“No.”

“What have I done?!”

“Oh, I hate it~”

“Tell me!”

“Then, if you do one favor of mine, I’ll tell you.”

Iarin said as if it went well.

“Save the goat!”

“Oh, I don’t keep goats! Goats!”

From noble mtl dot com

“So goats. Not goats. Goats.”

“…Yes?”

“Anyway, you must have more knowledge about animals than I do~ So let’s go get some goats together.”

At the suggestion, Ella pondered for a moment.

Are you going to roam here and there with this man-shaped beast?

Or are you just going to put up with what you’re curious about and chase it away?

But her troubles did not last long.

“…Okay. There’s a place that comes to mind, so you can go there. Instead, you have to tell me everything.”

It was far better for her to be troubled for a moment than to never know what she was curious about.

Ella put on her clothes roughly and went out with Arin.

To save the goat and finish the job right away without wasting time.

* * *

“Thank you for saving the goat! And even taking care of it! Rabbit, thank you so much!”

“I said thank you… And what am I?Please tell me what you did…”

Ella let out a sigh as she watched Arin cradling her 7-month-old goat she had rescued from her farm.

This sigh was partly due to the mental exhaustion she received from being dragged around by Arin, as well as the physical exhaustion from having to visit two farms.

‘Ah, there will be dark circles. I’ll pack it up when I get back…’

Ella wanted to quickly dispel her curiosity and return to her home.

But, unfortunately for her, A-Rin Lee dragged her to her cafe, as if her energy was overflowing.

She was grateful for saving the goat, so she offered to buy him something to eat.

Arin told her that when she was tired, she liked to eat sweets and fed her cakes, said that fruit was good for her skin and bought juice to feed her, and said that the scenery inside her house was empty and that she was selling a mascot at her cafe. I bought a doll and put it in her hand.

Ella was suddenly given a crow doll the size of her to hold in her arms, and she held it tight to herself while she had to engage in her chatter. Besides, she had so many episodes that she couldn’t help but talk over and over again.

Besides, by the time she finished eating the cake, the story of the time she had been drinking flowed out, so there was no time to be bored.

“…So that’s why you’re doing this to me. The house is spacious but it’s too cold, I was with Master in Germany, but it’s a bit lonely because I’m alone. So I, yes. I’ll come over often, so I asked for the key. That’s how it happened.”

“…aaa…”

As Ella listened to the story of her drinking, she felt deeply what shame was.

Her face turned red, and she covered her face with her hands to hide her face, which had turned red like the color of her eyes. There was no change in color itself.

Ella tried to change her subject to hide her own shyness, and Arin accepted it and the conversation continued for a long time.

Like that, the two chatted happily until right before the cafe closed, and the two decided to go back to their respective accommodations.

“It’s dangerous alone. I’ll take you home.”

Arin said that since she brought her, she had to take responsibility, and offered to see her off to her house. Together.

While walking for such a long time.

“Huh? Tarot?”

I saw a street fortune teller built on the side of the road.
