69 – The White Witch of Rumpelstiltshen

White hair.

Red eyes.

Pure white skin as if white powder had been applied.

It was a typical albino appearance.

However, Jin-seong feels familiar with ‘Rabbit’ not because she has a typical albino appearance, but because she is very similar to someone he knows well. It must be because she really has a similar look.

‘Anastasia Alexandrovna Vesna.’

She is very similar to his colleague before returning and the person nicknamed ‘Dambi’.

Jin-seong felt nostalgic for the childhood image of her former colleague.

‘She certainly looks a lot younger than when she was a mercenary, but her looks are exactly the same.’

She looked much younger, and the size of her breasts was markedly different, but it looked like a copy of her old colleague.

Jin-seong felt as if she had gone back to her mercenary days when she saw her comrades who had been with her for a long time.

‘He was obviously Russian, so it’s not strange to be in Russia. It’s just that kites are really strange, and even though I’ve been back in time, I still meet them like this.’

He was delighted, stepped forward, shook hands, and smiled.

“Hello. I’ve heard a lot. Her sister boasted a lot about being her best friend. She’s as pretty as I’ve heard.”

It wasn’t the usual old-age tone of voice, but a kind and polite tone.

Se-Rin Lee and A-Rin Lee looked at Jin-seong, startled by her sudden change of tone, but Jin-seong ignored her younger siblings’ eyes and looked at her with a smile.

“Yes? Yes. Hello…”

Confused, she looked at Jinsung’s face and hand alternately, then stretched out her hand and accepted his handshake.

Jinseong smiled brightly, feeling the touch of her soft hands, which did not feel any calluses.

“Ah, I don’t know if you’ve heard my story. Let me formally introduce myself. My name is Park Jin-seong, and I’m Lee A-rin and Lee Se-rin’s older brother.”

“Yes? Yes… I’ve heard a lot about Frau Lee. He has a shaman brother… Ah, no. This isn’t it. Over there.”

She said her name while flustered at the appearance of Jin-seong introducing herself in her polite manner.

“My name is Ella B Winter.”

Ella B. Winter?

Jin-seong felt puzzled by the name, which was so different from her own memories.

“Your name is pretty too.”

“Ah, yes… Thank you. Oh, it’s going to be cold, so please come inside. I turned on the stove because there were guests coming.”

Besides, the tone of voice was also different.

Ella’s tone is noble. She had a tone that could be used by elites or aristocrats, and her dignity was evident in every gesture, as if she had received proper training in etiquette.

However, his colleague, Anastasia, was a human like a wild animal who didn’t even observe table manners properly, let alone manners in her daily life. It is basic to pour water into combat rations and hit it into the mouth because it is inconvenient to use tableware. The bread was gathered together with a grip and carried around like a rice ball to eat.

Besides, there was nothing to cover the food.

It was basic to eat bugs and disgusting animals without hesitation, and some even cut open the stomachs of wild animals and eat their intestines raw when they were thirsty.The beast-like aspect of his back was generously displayed.

However, I couldn’t find that aspect at all in Ella.

“First of all, have some of this. They say you’re from warm Japan, so I prepared a drink in case you get cold. It’s called Gluhwein, and if you drink it, you’ll feel warm.”

“Rabbit! How strong is this?”

“Almost all of the alcohol evaporates during the making process.”

Jinseong looked at her as Ella accepted the cup she was giving her.

‘I was educated. He was not an ordinary person, but he received a proper education from someone who was clearly in the vested interest.’

In addition, looking at the scenery of her house, I saw a lot of items witches could use.

There was a large pot made of cast iron, which witches usually use to make potions, on the stove, and various herbs were growing in the sunlight by the window. In addition, what appeared to be a storage cabinet smelled of incense, which seemed to contain a lot of Western-style incense and incense, which are made for ceremonial use in the West.

In addition, in the ashes of the stove, the remains of a dried frog could be seen, and parchment was piled up inside the slightly open workshop.

It was a typical witch’s residence.

‘Besides, this woman’s body smells like a witch.’

There is a saying.

Wizards smell like closets, warriors smell like sweat, and witches smell like herbs.

Ella’s body also smelled like a witch.

Unlike older witches, she gave off a scent of herbs close to perfume, but her body clearly smelled of witches’ herbs.

In addition, I could feel the energy circulating in the dermis of Ella’s skin to use the witchcraft that witches use.

‘Anastasia was more like a wizard. But that woman is a pure witch.’

Jinseong assumed that Ella was not the Anastasia he knew.

He looked at Ella, who was in trouble next to Arin, who was making a fuss about her drink, and opened her mouth.

“Frau Winter? Did you come to Russia to study?”

“Yes. It’s like Frau Lee. I was attending a specialization high school in Berlin, and I applied because I was doing international exchange.”

“Berlin Specialized Specialized High School… It’s a school famous for witches and martial arts. I heard that all the famous witches active in Europe come from that school, and in terms of swordsmanship, it competes with China for first place.”

“Oh, have you heard?”

“Of course. I’m a person who is only interested in witchcraft, but if it’s that famous, you can’t help but listen to it. Besides, witches are a profession that interacts a lot with witch doctors because of their materials, so naturally, I have no choice but to listen to them.”

While Jin-seong was sharing her story, she naturally saw Ella leaning towards her. Jinseong, like her Ella, leaned her body towards her Ella opposite her, and she added to that, swept her bangs with a nudge and met her gaze with Ella.

“Studying abroad is a great opportunity. To broaden one’s knowledge and experience a different culture. Besides, each high school specializing in abilities is different in each country, so there will be plenty of things to learn. However, if you are studying abroad, you must have felt lonely at times. “

“Yes? Loneliness?”

Jinseong blinked her eyes at a speed similar to her Ella’s, met her gaze, leaned her body slightly in front of her so subtly that she didn’t notice, and continued her words.

“When you go to an unfamiliar place, you always need to be prepared. It will remind you of your family and friends you left behind. It doesn’t come to mind especially when you’re busy, but isn’t that the first thing that comes to mind when you get used to it and have some free time? I too was distracted when I was busy with work when I went on a trip to Japan, but when I got back on track to some extent, I thought of Arin Lee and Serin Lee.”

“Yes, that’s right… I do.”

Iarin, who had been quietly listening to the conversation between the two, intervened.

“Wow, it’s a long rain ghost~ The rabbit is lonely… Eup!”

As Ia Lin intervened, Ella must have been taken aback and she put her hand over her mouth. However, as soon as she closed her mouth, perhaps because she did it unconsciously, she seemed to be taken aback and took her hand away, and Arin looked at Ella and laughed.

hahahaha. Don’t be embarrassed. Everyone feels it. Just as I miss her sister, so does Frau Winter’s sister.”

“Yes? Sister? I’m an only child…”

“Ah, I must have used the wrong word because my German is not very good. I made a mistake trying to say my classmate in German.”

Jinseong said that and continued the conversation with Ella.

Stories like raising a pet when you’re lonely, raising a goat, saying that there’s no time to be bored because Iarin comes in from time to time. These were stories worth sharing. In addition, Ia-rin intervened to tell her story, and Se-rin Lee intervened and oiled her in the middle, so naturally, Ella came to feel close to Jin-seong.

As proof of that, Ella’s attitude was much softer than before.

How much did you think like that?

“Oh, I almost forgot because it was so much fun to talk about. I came to see the goats and guinea pigs, but I almost forgot to go back.”

“Oh, that’s right. Rabbit, can you show me my goat and guinea pig?”

Ella stood up at the words of Ia-rin, who clung to Jin-seong and Ella, who spoke naturally as if she had finally realized it. She then politely said that she would guide them, and then she led them to the barn.

When I entered the small barn where the heating was running, I saw a large goat and two goat calves.
