By the way, hasn’t quite some time passed?

Giselle, who said she would change clothes and come back, hasn’t appeared even after a long time.

‘I guess nobles take a long time to change clothes?’

Lukna leaned back on the old leather sofa with a bored expression and habitually took out a smartphone from her pocket.

She naturally tapped the LCD screen, but the screen didn’t turn on.

‘Why isn’t this working? Is the battery dead?’

After repeatedly tapping the LCD a few times, Lukna was shocked exactly 3 seconds later.

‘I… have a smartphone?’

Why is this coming out of my pocket? A smartphone in the world I’m possessing, isn’t this a setting error?

It seems that even when robbed by the old lady, and when leaving home to follow Giselle, she had habitually brought along the modern person’s essential item.

It was so familiar that she didn’t feel any sense of discomfort.

‘If I had known this would happen, I should have brought a charger too!’

No, there’s no electricity to begin with, so it would be useless.

Lukna pressed the power button while pondering practical concerns.

It seems to be completely discharged as it doesn’t work.

‘This is no different from trash now.’

As she despaired like that and bowed her head deeply.

The words she had heard from the Cupang delivery person before coming to this world flashed through her mind.

So, embarrassingly, she called out to the holy sword in a small voice.

“Hi Bixby.”

Then, a round loading icon appeared on the black screen, and someone’s voice echoed in her head.

“Hello, Master. I am your great holy sword Bixby. How may I assist you?”

‘Wow, this is crazy. This is a holy sword?’

“Oh my. For the ignorant master, the great holy sword Bixby, blessed with divine grace, will explain the tutorial!”

The holy sword provided a lot of information in a kind but impertinent tone.

Among them, three important points:

Saying ‘Hi Bixby’ links your mind with the holy sword, allowing telepathic communication.

The holy sword’s initial form is set to the most familiar object to the user and can change to other shapes according to the user’s request.

And when linked with the holy sword, holy power increases momentarily.

‘So it’s like an AI smart holy sword?’

“Comparing me to artificial intelligence! I am a higher-dimensional being who can even emit the smell of bread, Master.”

Soon, the smell of freshly baked bread wafted from the holy sword.

What’s the point of a hunk of metal emitting bread smell? Although I like bread, it was really a useless function.

‘What should I do with this?’

Lukna scratched her head while looking down at the smartphone.

It seems the holy sword changed to this shape because the smartphone was the most familiar object to her…

‘It doesn’t fit well with this world which is close to medieval fantasy.’

First, she had to change the noticeable appearance.

‘Hi Bixby, change your shape to the most ordinary form of object in this world.’

“Yes, Master. I will transform the exterior according to your request.”

Soon the smartphone glowed white and changed into a silver necklace with a round socket pendant.

The pendant, slightly larger than a thumbnail, had no pattern but had a suitable luster.

It was the very definition of ordinary.

‘Oh, not bad?’

Lukna put on the necklace and hid the pendant inside her clothes.

It was then that Giselle, who had finished dressing up, entered the reception room.

“Did you wait long, Lukna?”

Giselle, who had freshened up from head to toe, walked in gracefully and sat down opposite.

‘Is there a ball today?’

Colorful, flashy attire and heavy makeup.

Everything from head to toe was excessive, but her face, which would be pretty even if smeared with excrement, perfectly pulled it off.

‘She’s certainly different from scruffy me.’

It seemed that the true protagonist of this world was not herself, but Giselle.

It would be a lie to say she wasn’t disappointed, but she didn’t feel jealous.

What’s wrong with being an extra? She had never lived like a protagonist in her previous life either.

She just worked like an ant and died from overwork.

‘Let’s focus on survival for now. Then there will be opportunities to feel small happiness anytime.’

Look even now. Isn’t it pleasant to see such a sparkling female protagonist candidate?

“You’re so pretty.”

A sincere exclamation slipped out as a murmur.

Hearing that, Giselle’s face turned bright red.

“I couldn’t dress up earlier because I was in a hurry. Meeting Lukna with a bare face, what an unthinkable mistake.”

Giselle added strange words while being shy.

Lukna couldn’t understand why that was a mistake, but it was clear that she had a lovable personality.

“By the way, were you surprised earlier? I should have controlled the servants better… As you know, they’re all on the head maid’s side.”

“The head maid’s side?”

Does that mean the servants are ignoring their young mistress?

It was a familiar development somewhere.

According to the cliché, Giselle would awaken in this suffocating situation, subdue the bad servants, and pour out refreshing actions.

“But Lukna, why were you at home when you left in a hurry last night?”

“Uh, what?”

Lukna, who had been immersed in expectations of what kind of refreshing actions Giselle would pour out, raised her head in surprise.

This body tried to run away?

“You said you didn’t want to live the life of a cadet school student on behalf of brother Perta anymore.”

An explanation was added that she had complained it was a school so hard she wanted to die.

‘If it’s a cadet school, is it similar to the military?’

Lukna’s eyes trembled. What a harsh fate to have to enlist right after possession, this wouldn’t do.

“I even packed Mother’s keepsakes as travel money for you. But why did you stay like a fool? I made up my mind to let you go.”

Giselle stared at Lukna with tearful eyes.

There was some inexplicable obsession in that sadness, making the room temperature feel even cooler.

“I’m not sure why I was at home either, Lady Giselle.”

Lukna smiled awkwardly while speaking politely to the noble Giselle.

Then Giselle covered her mouth with both hands as if shocked.

“Why are you speaking like that, Lukna? Do you want to distance yourself from me too now? I’m hurt…”

Hic, Giselle finally burst into the tears that had been welling up.

Is this not right? Flustered, Lukna made up a suitable excuse she had seen in novels.

“S-sorry. Actually, I hit my head badly yesterday. I don’t remember anything, as if I’ve become a different person.”

She was indeed a different person, but she glossed over it.

Giselle immediately examined Lukna’s head here and there, making a fuss.

“How badly were you hurt! Are you okay now, Lukna?”

Giselle lamented that it was all because of the devilish cadet school.

“How much do you remember? Do you remember me?”

Giselle emphasized that even if she forgot everything else, she shouldn’t forget her.

Lukna glanced down at her own body, noting the female protagonist-like character’s unusual obsession.

‘Did I perhaps possess the male lead?’

Fortunately or unfortunately, the frail body was indeed female. Though she needed to examine it more closely.

“Do you remember entering the cadet school as Golden’s representative instead of brother Perta?”

“Don’t you remember us furnishing your independent nest together?”

“Before that, do you not remember being adopted into our family as a son? You don’t remember that either?”

The expression of being adopted as a son rather than a daughter was a bit awkward, but Lukna just repeated that she didn’t remember.

As Giselle’s expression noticeably darkened, Lukna vaguely glossed over the situation.

“Well… I think I might remember if I think about it again, haha.”

“Right, you’ll surely be able to recall it again! You must remember me first!”

“Huh? Ah, right.”

“Still, it’s fortunate. You have no major injuries and your face that suits my taste is fine, so this much is heaven’s help.”

“Hm?”

“But it would be good to get an examination, so let’s go to brother Perta right away. Brother will call a doctor for you.”

Giselle pulled Lukna’s hand and led the way to Perta’s bedroom.

Lukna followed her, thinking Giselle was a bit peculiar.

And so they arrived in front of a bedroom.

No servants were seen all the way here, and the mansion’s management condition was a mess.

Lukna guessed that the count’s family’s financial situation was very bad as she pulled the door handle.

As soon as the door opened, a pungent herbal scent flowed out into the hallway.

In the middle of the room filled with hazy smoke, a skinny man was lying down.

“Brother Perta, Lukna is here!”

Giselle woke up Perta who was lying sick in bed. Perta raised his upper body while coughing heavily.

A body with bones protruding sharply over the skin. The torso of the tall man was as thin as Lukna’s.

“You’re back, Lukna.”

Cough! Every time he coughed, his body with not an ounce of fat trembled pitifully.

Despite his severe illness, his outstanding beauty, as much as Giselle’s, was showing in person what sickly beauty is.

“Brother, Lukna says she hit her head and lost her memory.”

“Oh my. Are you alright, Lukna?”

Cough, Perta asked about Lukna’s well-being while his whole body trembled.

‘You seem more serious than me.’

Lukna shook her head towards the frail young man who looked like he would die right away.

“I’m fine. I just lost some memories.”

“Lost your memories! This is terrible, cough!”

The terrible thing seems to be with you. Lukna frowned as she looked around the room that smelled of burning.

‘Are they hunting raccoons?’

No, it looks like they’re hunting the patient.

Normally, such acrid smoke isn’t lit in a coughing patient’s room.

‘Finally, an incident where I can play an active role has occurred here.’
