The Otherworldly Journey of a Quick Transmigrator

Why haven't you disappeared yet?

【Humph! 】

Su Yuanyuan didn't care about this little good-for-nothing. She needed to prepare cat food for the cats, because there were too many cats, and one batch would only be enough for one day.

After Sebastian left, he never came back. Su Yuanyuan suppressed her urge to go find him immediately, reminding herself that she was still recovering from her injuries and should stay away from the main character.

Su Yuanyuan's shop hasn't sold a single book in almost two months, which makes her wonder every day how the previous owner must have been so foolish as to open a bookstore.

In the past two days, Su Yuanyuan noticed that there were many more vendors pushing carts selling bread and fruit on the streets, as well as children carrying baskets selling flowers.

The shop next door might have changed owners and was under renovation, making it impossible for Su Yuanyuan to concentrate on her reading.

A child was squatting at the entrance of Su Yuanyuan's bookstore. Judging from the box he had set up, he was probably shining shoes for passersby. Su Yuanyuan didn't seem to want to chase him away.

She rested her chin on her hand and looked outside. Suddenly, she felt that there were more people on the street. Was it because Christmas was coming soon?

Su Yuanyuan noticed a noblewoman hurrying along, dressed in a gorgeous dress and carrying a black umbrella, walking towards the bookstore.

The doorbell rang, and Su Yuanyuan had no choice but to stand up to greet her.

"Good afternoon, esteemed lady. What would you like?"

She lowered her umbrella, covering most of her face, and carefully looked around the store before speaking after a long while.

Do you have the Book of Soya here?

Su Yuanyuan raised an eyebrow in surprise. The Book of Soya contains all sorts of magic and alchemy, but in this era, hardly anyone would read it.

However, she did have a copy here, which was left by the previous owner. She had only just finished reading it. Su Yuanyuan took the Book of Soya from the bookshelf next to the sofa.

"Please check if this is the one."

"Yes, this is it. How much?"

The noblewoman took it and casually flipped through it, her face visibly showing excitement. Su Yuanyuan held up five fingers.

"Five pence is fine."

Watching the woman pay and then hurriedly leave, Su Yuanyuan didn't speculate about her behavior; she was only happy that she had finally opened for business.

The Christmas atmosphere was getting stronger, but Su Yuanyuan still celebrated her Christmas as usual, at most drawing a Christmas tree on the window to mark the occasion.

While people outside were still joyfully celebrating the festival, Su Yuanyuan had already climbed into bed and was asleep, feeling a strong gaze fixed on her in her sleep.

Su Yuanyuan frowned slightly, slowly opened her eyes, and met Sebastian's red eyes. She almost slapped him.

What are you doing here in the middle of the night?

Su Yuanyuan glanced at the sky outside and leaned against the headboard speechlessly.

"Today is Christmas, and I've come to deliver a present to my owner."

She then noticed that Sebastian had been holding a small box. Su Yuanyuan rubbed her temples and smiled slightly.

She had completely forgotten about Christmas presents. Judging from Sebastian's smile, Su Yuanyuan suspected that if she said she had forgotten, Sebastian would eat her alive.

I quickly rummaged through my inventory and finally found a scarf that could be given as a gift. I couldn't wrap it up right now, so I just took it out and handed it to Sebastian.

"This is a Christmas present I prepared for you."

They exchanged gifts, and Sebastian looked very happy, immediately putting the scarf around his neck. The blue and black plaid scarf didn't match his outfit at all, but Su Yuanyuan thought he liked it very much.

Sebastian gave her a sapphire necklace, which Su Yuanyuan liked very much. It looked very valuable, and she held it in her hand for a while before putting it into her space.

After delivering the gift, Sebastian didn't leave. He stood by Su Yuanyuan's bedside, seemingly lost in thought. Su Yuanyuan looked up at him and yawned.

"What's wrong? Aren't you going to find your young master? Aren't you afraid he'll find out you ran away?"

“Master said last time that he wanted to hear about me and the young master. I’m considering whether to tell him now.”

Su Yuanyuan, who was leaning against the bed, sat up instantly upon hearing Sebastian's words, her eyes wide open, no longer sleepy at all.

"Come on, sit down and let's talk!"

She moved a little further in and patted the bed to make Sebastian sit down.

Sebastian raised an eyebrow, gave Su Yuanyuan a half-smile, and sat down next to her.

He was telling Su Yuanyuan about the Jack the Ripper incident that had been making headlines not long ago. She remembered it, but couldn't recall the details.

Hearing it from the person in question again was a completely different experience than reading the comics. Sebastian's voice was deep and magnetic, making him particularly captivating when telling stories.

As Su Yuanyuan listened, her brows furrowed unconsciously. Sebastian noticed her movement and stopped speaking.

"Sebastian, stay away from that Grim Reaper named Grell."

She wasn't going to fall for Sebastian; she was determined to uphold Ciel's status as the rightful wife. Sebastian glanced at her, then suddenly grabbed her hand and gently touched her fingers.

"As you command, Master!"

Su Yuanyuan raised an eyebrow, pulled her hand back, and shook it, trying to shake off the tingling sensation.

“Be more considerate of your young master in the future. Just listening to you, I can tell you don’t care about him much.”

Sebastian glanced at her indifferently, then quickly finished recounting the rest of the story in a flat tone. Su Yuanyuan blinked. That's it? That wasn't what he said earlier!

At this moment, Sebastian stood up, straightened his clothes, and resumed his smiling expression.

"Master, I have to go back now. You can go out for a walk if you have nothing to do. Don't always stay at home."

"Okay, you can go now!"

Su Yuanyuan pouted. Where could she go to play at this time? She even thought the ground outside was dirty, although it was a little better than before.

She lay back in bed still feeling indignant. She had talked all night, but he hadn't said anything ambiguous, leaving her to fill in the blanks herself.

A few days later, the shop next door was finished. It was a hat shop. Su Yuanyuan went over to take a look and saw many beautiful hats. She couldn't resist buying a few.

The owner was a kind lady who asked Su Yuanyuan to call her Mrs. Lopez. Her family had just moved here. Mrs. Lopez's husband was a pastor who rarely came home, and it was just her and one child at home.

"Mrs. Lopez, the hats you made are so beautiful, I love them all."

Su Yuanyuan's words were not an exaggeration at all; Mrs. Lopez's hats were simply exquisite, and she had more guests than she could receive every day.

Most of them were butlers in noble households, and even the least would buy two to take home.

"If you like it, I can give you another one."

"No, no, no! I don't usually go out much. If I buy them, I'll just leave them there to look at. It would be a waste to have too many. I can come here to see them often."

"Welcome! You're the first friend I've made here. You're always welcome to come over."

Su Yuanyuan also found it easy to get along with Mrs. Lopez, perhaps because Mrs. Lopez was older and always more tolerant of her.
