Looking at the scene before her, completely different from the Witch's Quarter, Noelle felt a sense of disorientation.

Reed quickly accepted the arrangement, revealing that he had made his way from a back alley to the L Company within the city.

I've already experienced that disorienting feeling; it's like night and day, a world apart from where I used to live—it's practically paradise.

Although Company L is better than the back alley, if Reed had another chance, he would never go to Company L.

Reed experienced many terrible things at Company L; this taciturn/ruthless Reed...

It wasn't so serious at first, thanks to Company L...

Reed tries to make friends at work, but he dies on the second and third day.

The topic I talk about most with people at work is fantasy; I only make friends because I want to experience it, I don't actually like it.

Rhett and Noelle attracted the attention of many passersby as soon as they stepped off the carriage.

A masked weirdo who doesn't look like a good person, and a little girl holding an adorable white puppy in one arm.

Passersby at the scene were curious about the noisy exchange between the two people and the dog that was gathered in the distance.

Noelle and Reid ignored them and continued on their way…

Reed and Noelle heard various hawking calls, as well as some exquisite handmade toy shops.

Red saw several children surrounding the old man selling handmade toys, buying them.

Reed patted Noelle on the back. Noelle, who was walking, paused for a moment and turned to look at Reed.

Reed: "There's a bunch of kids buying toys over there, why don't you join them?"

Noelle glanced at it, then rolled her eyes at Reed, "Wow~ the aloof Reed was just joking!"

"I'm not a kid, but if I agree now, will Reed buy it for me?" A smile played on her lips as she approached Reed, her eyes slightly narrowed.

Reed's answer was "No".

Noelle: "Ugh! Get lost!" Noelle stomped on Reid's foot.

"Let's find a quieter place to sit. We agreed before that we need to figure out why the little witch has such a high status..."

Reed: "I know where there's a quiet place."

Noelle: "Yay! I don't need to think of a solution anymore, Reed is so smart!"

Reed: "If you keep talking like that, I'll gag you."

[After some time...]

Reed held a slightly rusty brass key in his hand, with the number 23 engraved on it.

Reed inserted the brass key into the peephole and opened the door to room number 23.

The quiet place Reed mentioned was a hotel, a place to rest and stay.

Noelle bent down and put Bodi down on the ground. Bodi ran into the room after his paws touched the ground.

Noelle entered the room and saw a white bed. She was just about to put her hands on the bed when she saw a white bed.

But looking at her dirty body, Noelle decided against it; she was somewhat unhappy with her filthy clothes.

Seeing Reed lock the door, Noelle said, "Reed, put your backpack on the table. I'm going to get some clothes and take a shower; I'm dirty."

Reed put his backpack on the table next to him and casually pulled up an old chair in the room to sit down.

Reed had just sat down when there was a knock at the door, and he became slightly alert.

Just then, Noelle spoke up, "Reid, open the door, the water delivery guy should be here."

"When we were at the front desk earlier, didn't we ask for a bucket of water?"

Reed got up and opened the door, just in time to see a burly man carrying a bucket of water outside.

The burly man wore a plain white tank top, revealing his well-developed muscles.

The burly man nearly fell backward upon seeing Reed's appearance. After a few seconds, he recovered and asked, "Shall I carry it in for you, or will you do it?"

Reed took the wooden bucket from the burly man. "I can do it myself."

After saying that, Reed picked up the bucket and went into the room, then locked the door.

The burly man wiped his forehead with the towel hanging around his neck. "Who is this... looks like this?" he muttered softly as he left.

Reed had just turned around, carrying the bucket in one hand, when he saw Noelle's slightly flushed face.

Seeing Noelle standing there dumbfounded, Reed asked, "What are you standing there for?"

Noelle pointed to the so-called bathroom.

Looking ahead, Reed realized that the square enclosure made of cheap glass was the so-called bathroom.

The important thing isn't the size, but that the bathroom walls are made of transparent glass.

Although the glass looked old and was the cheapest, lowest-quality kind.

Even so, Noelle found the thought of taking a bath through glass strange.

Noelle complained, "Seriously! Why is the bathroom made of glass?!"

Reed: "We booked a single room, not a double room."

The front desk had recently suggested that Noelle and Reid book a double room together or a single room each.

However, the amount of money extracted from the guards was small, and this money might have other uses later.

Anyway, we just need to find a quiet place to rest, and there's no need to book a double room to discuss the plans.

The receptionist then looked at Reed and Noelle with a strange and snickering expression.

At first, neither Reed nor Noelle realized what it meant, but now they seem to understand...

Reed: "What's so special about it? This kind of glass looks cheap; it's so blurry you can't see inside at all."

Noelle: "But you'll see my outline, won't you? I can't stand how dirty I am...!"

"Ryder, you can't look! Got it? You can't look here when I'm showering~"

Reed said "Oh," and helped Noelle carry the bucket into the so-called bathroom. Then he sat down on a chair and crossed his legs.

Noelle went inside, then suddenly remembered something, stuck her head out, and said, "Body, turn around! Don't look! If I see you, I'll call Reed to beat you up!"

To the average person, this threat, or rather, what sounds more like a pouting gesture than a threat, is more like a way of whining.

It's like a little girl pouting angrily and saying to you, "If you bully me again, I'll call my parents to beat you up."

But in Boddy's eyes, it was a death order! The most important reason was the word "Reed" in the phrase "I'll have Reed hit you!"

If Reed had slapped him twice, he probably would have lost two lives!

Bodhi immediately trembled and went to the corner of the room, burying his head in his hands.

Noelle closed the glass lid and reached out to test the water temperature in the wooden tub.

It's warm water...

Noelle unbuttoned her dress with one hand, bit one end of it with her mouth, and then pulled it off successfully with her right hand.

Looking through the glass at the somewhat blurry figure of Reid sitting in the chair, Noelle glanced away and rubbed her cheeks, which were a little sore from embarrassment.

Looking at the bandage on her chest, Noelle realized that taking a bath this time would be a bit difficult.

"Bandages shouldn't get wet... so let's wash them very carefully."

Noelle carefully tried to touch the water to her chest to see if the water would touch the bandages.

"Hmm, seems fine..."

"It's a skirt now, and it's a bit hard to take it off..."
