The plain and unnoticed me is no more

159 - Forgotten pendant

The abandonment of the engagement at that party still afflicts me and my family.

On my way back to my room, I was thinking about my family living away from me.

It was good that Sandra's case was cleared up and my own stigma snowed out, but the family who turned to villains to let me escape also had a worse image.

I can't believe you're trying to cover up what I did to myself! Who on earth is spreading such heartless rumors?

I can get a happy life, but my family feels so sorry for being stigmatized...

"Huh... I can't believe there's such a rumored dancer... I'm in trouble."

"... yeah, I see."

As he entered my room, Chiyo exhaled a huge sigh.

I'm the one who wants to exhale. There are problems from one to the next. Besides, this time, the fire powder flew to my family.

"But it's strange. Lana is famous, and I wonder why no one is coming here when she seems to be the first to be targeted. Of course, that's fine, but whatever you say, it's the person, so it almost matches the appearance."

"Hmm... on the contrary, I think it's because I'm famous that I've been removed from candidate Elaine. 'Cause I started this inn six months before I got out of the house."

Speaking of which, yes. When I was selling rice balls outside, it was a long time ago. There were a lot of customers who knew at that time, and no matter how many characteristics match, I don't think Lana and her daughter are the same people. "

"That sort of thing. But that's why I can't rest assured. Some of you won't be able to think that far, so just be vigilant."

When I was grabbed the other day, it was the travelers who were being targeted. I didn't ask for the specific details just now, but this time I think they are targeting people from around the world, such as travelers.

If I lived secretly in the region, no one would think I was the same person when I ran the grand and popular inn in King's Landing.

Still, if there are any suspicious people trying to get close, my grandfather's escort will be on the move, and Weiss and Singh will be on my side.

Rather, I was more worried about girls who suddenly got grabbed than about me.

When the bounty turns out to be a lie, the girls who get caught may not be safe. First we have to find a place for the girls and get them out.

I'm sure Will and the others won't be able to come here for a while to take part in the search. You didn't tell me you were going to escort me this time, so I'm sure even one of you is trying to secure a lot of people.

As I chatted with Chiyo, I picked a grey beige wig from the wig collection lined up in the closet and wore it all together.

It is about the same length as my ground hair and is made to order with blonde hair dyed in white grey.

I'm sure I'll really dye my hair if I dress up properly. But here I can't dye my hair as easily as in my previous life.

Because shops that can do hair colors do business with aristocrats, the price setting is ridiculously high.

"Wow... that's lovely! It just gets a little dark and suddenly calms down. I want to wear something too."

"Fufu, how about this?

I put a little wavy milk tea beige wig on the chiyo.

I usually see only dark, straight hair, so the light, fluffy hair is very fresh.

"Chiyo, this wig looks great on you. Looks like a doll."

"Eheh, is that so?

That said, Chiyo stood in front of the mirror with joy and checked his appearance.

"Hmm, I'm embarrassed because it's not me."

"Fufu, isn't that fun?

"It's certainly fun. I think I know how Lana feels about this."

Chiyo looked at herself as she turned her face towards the mirror.

If it wasn't such a late time, I wanted to try on a costume that was lightly make-up and tailored to Chiyo. Unfortunately, that's not the case now.

"In the meantime, I'll do what they say... but does this mean anything?

"Well... isn't that just a precaution? Yes, this. Thank you very much."

When Chiyo put the wig back in place and tried to close the closet door, a box caught my eye.

"Ah...."

Speaking of which, my great-grandmother's pendant was handed over by the priest. I had experienced the effects of the amulet and I completely forgot to wear it as soon as I got back to the inn.

I took the box behind the shelf, pulled out the pendant and put it around my neck. A large black pendant top sways around your chest.

"Even if someone sees it, it looks like it's a fake made of glass, but I have to hide it under my blouse so I can't see the stones...."

He squeezed Obsidian once with his hand with a prayer to protect me and slipped it under his blouse.

Then I heard a knock on the living room door, and at the same time Sin and the others entered the room. Sin and Taki's hands were gripped with a thin sword that was held in a sheath.

"Owner, Taki and I have decided to stay upstairs tonight. Fred said he had to come back soon."

"Lana, I'm going home to get dressed and stuff I need. I'll see you later."

Taki nodded with his eyes, leaving the sword in his hand and exiting through the back door. And after Taki, Chiyo returned to his room once.

"Lana, I'm going to change into my bedtime clothes in my room. Sin, I asked for Lana."

"Oh, come on."

I followed everyone around me with my eyes and wondered if this was really the right thing to do. I'm doing what Will told me, but I'm ruining my important private time after work.

How many days will it take for things to converge? It's definitely not a day or two.

"General, you look dissatisfied. It's been a while."

"... yes"

Well then, I'm going. Call the soldiers on patrol if anything happens. And don't forget to lock the windows and doors. "

He's as worried as a father who keeps his children at home. I nodded and answered bewildered.

"Sin and Taki are on the side, so you don't have to worry so much."

"... I see. All right, General, I'm going out the back. Could you show me to the gate?"

Okay, here we go.

There's nothing to show you, if you leave this room and go to the left, there's a way out. You should know because you've been there a few times.

I was going to drop you off, but I don't usually bother to tell you this, so what happened today?

Will silently stopped Singh, who was coming after me, leaving his confused Singh in the hallway and closing the door.

Though I thought something was strange, I led Will to the back gate.

I thought maybe it was something that Singh didn't want to hear, but I arrived at the gate without saying anything in particular.

And when I reached for the gate door, Will suddenly grabbed me by the hand behind me. I tried to pull out my hand in a surprising and reflective manner, but it was firmly grasped and didn't twitch.

"Um...?

I wonder if I stopped feeling any signs beyond the door, or if I noticed Will's gaze pouring into my chest. I held my chest in a hurry.

You didn't peek inside the blouse from above. I wonder if it was rude to react like this...

Turning down to hide the upset, Will leaned over my ear and spoke in a small voice.

"General, I was wondering, what happened to the protective stone I gave you? I don't see you wearing it anywhere."

"... that's a lot of fear, so I don't think I can carry it around easily, so I keep it carefully."

When I whispered, Will, who was behind me, circled in front of me.

"Really? That makes no sense. Liam said he gave the accessories the workmanship, but I should have done the same. Next, let's bring the processed goods. Until then, bear with me and carry that ugly rock."

Even though they say stones are too valuable to be scared of, they have been misinterpreted. It's not a matter of appearance.

Speaking of which, the person who gave it to Liam did his job and broke it. But if I tell you about it, you'll find out that I've been in danger, and I'll keep quiet for now.

"Okay, I will do as you say. So please do not prepare another item. By the way, aren't you in a hurry, Fred?

"Oh, I'm going. The female general...."

When Will was still trying to say something, the door to the back door suddenly opened. It was Taki who came back to open the door.

"I was surprised. What's wrong with both of you? Stand up here and talk."

"Welcome back, Taki. That was pretty early."

I was supposed to go get what I needed, but Taki didn't have anything in his hand. I wonder if they turned back on the way.

Then Taki talked to Will without saying anything to me.

"Fred, you asked me to leave you a message. Please come back soon, let's go."

"... I see. Taki, I went to the side of the house and I'm sorry I turned you back. General, I'll get things straightened out right away, so just hang in there till then. Let's go, Taki."

Will leaves the gate and the taxi doesn't move from there. Strangely, Taki's gaze turned towards the inn.

"Lana, will you come inside while we're here?

"Why? I'll see you off."

"I can't. You'll be alone in a dark place. [M] Did you forget? The fact that your brother was caught in a slightly open gap."

Will told me there was a kidnapping, and Taki remembered that time. So, I'm sure Sin too...

When I thought of such a thing, Taki called Sin out loud about what he thought.

"Niisan!!

Soon after that, the door opened. It seems that Singh was waiting there to be able to leave at any time.

"Go on. We'll go, too. I'll be right back. Can I have some tea, please? I like sweet cocoa before I go to bed."

"Okay. Take care of yourself. Be careful, Fred."

After finishing the greeting, Taki and Will went back the way they had originally been.

I don't usually care, but I felt very creepy about the alley behind me because I heard about the kidnapping.
