Chapter 663 – #134_The Strange Date (4)

#663

One.
After the trivial happening, I went up to the second floor where Rinne was waiting.

Due to the commotion downstairs, some witches were already paying attention, but Rinne is still Rinne.
She sits upright on the sofa and she is not looking anywhere around her.

As she approached, it felt like she was passing through a thin film.
The most basic of force field magic.
It is a sound barrier that blocks external noise and prevents internal sound from escaping to the outside.

“I brought it. This is change.”

I put down the mosque mule in front of Rinne and sat down and quenched her throat.
Behind the refreshing acidity of lime juice, the strong ginger scent of ginger beer pierces her nose.

My throat, which was stuffy due to the trivial grappling, is relieved.

“Whoa, looks like I’ll live.”

It’s really the best thing in the store.

She casually leaned her arm against the window sill and glanced at the view of the marina.

The dark blue sea swaying under the sheer cliff and the cargo ship floating above it.

Atop the cliff, a gigantic crane-like mechanism is hoisting cargo from a freighter.
Unlike Border Town, there is no place to dock the ship, so the cargo is lifted vertically from the sea.

When Siu read the flow of the gate shining golden on the edge of the sea, he couldn’t help but be surprised.

As far as Siwoo knows, the door is a very sophisticated and complex magic.
Also, I heard that Hexsenacht is a city built by the achievements.

However, Hexsenacht’s ‘door’ was not a magic that was merely imitated.

Its sophistication, its precision, its greatness.

All of them are in no way comparable to Border Town’s ‘Door’.
Even if the door technology had been completely leaked, or if Keter had made it himself, it would have been unbelievable.

Unfortunately, I can’t just look outside too much.
What would a captive man think once he was staring at the exit?

Let’s look at Rinne right away…

“…….”

I saw Rinne staring at the glass.
She hadn’t taken a sip yet.

Anyone who sees it will know that it is poisoned.

“Aren’t you eating?”
“There is no reason to drink. You bought it on your own.”
“That is true. Still, how can I drink alone?”

Buying even Rin’s was a decision made by Shiu on his own.
Even with the money she gave her.

He also had a desire to have a more honest conversation.
She bought it purely for Siwoo’s convenience, wanting to drag her conversation with her for as long as possible to look at the door, but….

There are good excuses.

“You’re on a date right now. You haven’t forgotten your purpose today, have you?”
“…….”
“You said you wanted to know the secret to how Tiphareth became stronger. We have to work together.”

A magic word that gives you some control over the direction of Linne’s actions.
As soon as the words came out, Rinne’s fingers twitched.

Reluctantly, Rinne grabbed a cold copper glass, drank it lightly, and set it down.

“It’s pretty tasty, right?”
“I can’t taste it.”

From the first step of a conversation-like conversation, an answer that was difficult to react to came out.

To say ‘Oh, I didn’t know that’ seems like an overly indifferent reaction.
To say, ‘I’m sorry for not being considerate,’ she seems to be overreacting….

“The scent is good.”

Fortunately, thanks to Linne who followed her words, she was able to avoid falling into the pit of terrible silence.

Look at this
She didn’t matter right away, but as soon as she started talking before the drink, she got the information that Linnaeus was illiterate.

“Uh?”

I can’t taste it…. Dara couldn’t taste it….
Siu, who was chewing on Rinne’s answer, felt her fingertips like gnats on his heart.

Don’t you feel

“Master, excuse me, but may I ask you something?”
“Do it.”
“Perhaps…. Are your other senses dull or incapable of feeling them?”

It was a question that risked some examples.
Because there was one hypothesis that popped into my head.

No matter how much Siwoo tried all night, Rinne didn’t respond at all.
And Linnaeus that she has no taste.

The combination of the two factors led to the hypothesis, ‘Could Linnaeus have anesthesia?’.

“Have.”

Lynne is silent.
If the question was judged unnecessary, she dismissed it and said very little, especially about herself.

But this time, the answer came out as if the wind was blowing.

“Neither warm nor cold.”

It’s pretty lined up too.

“I feel no pleasure, no appetite, no sex, no sleep, no desire.”

It was a dry word to complain and lament.
At most, it was to the point where Siwoo, who had asked about erogenous zones, felt embarrassed.

“Kuhm, that must be hard.”
“No problem.”

I can’t taste it, but I seem to like the smell.
Rinne, who ignored Siwoo’s non-consolation, raised her glass once again and put it down.
She didn’t show any reluctance or wariness on her part, so she decided to poke her a little more.

“Then…. Can I ask you a little more?”
“Do whatever you want.”

After that, Siwoo inquired about a few more cases.
What I found out was shocking.

Linnaeus did not feel any sensation that could be replaced by pleasure, that is, ‘pleasure’ in life.

Even if she soaks in a hot spring, for example, she feels ‘hot’, but does not feel ‘tiredness’ or ‘refreshing’.
Even when she shares her sexual intercourse with Siu, she feels ‘pressure’ and ‘foreign body’, but does not feel ‘pleasure’.

It meant that not only the physical part was impaired, but the mental function as well.

A life in which no physical pleasure or mental happiness can be experienced.
What kind of life would that be?

Rinne’s expression as she calmly set her glass down made her look even more like a doll.
She sits on a bright shelf and observes the world, but she is like a doll who cannot feel anything inside.

Only then did I understand Linnaeus’ excessive asceticism.
It makes no difference to her whether she is lying in her bed or sitting upright doing her meditation.

“…….”

However.
At this point, Siwoo felt a question.

The behavioral principles and survival instincts of all animals in the world eventually work in conjunction with pleasure.
In other words, if all pleasures are limited, any action or sense of purpose will be meaningless.

But Linne has a very strong sense of purpose.
To pursue strength.

Also, she saw Rinne’s face the other day when she risked her life to confront Rinne.
Not an expressionless face like a mask, but a smiling expression as if he was enjoying the fight.

I didn’t think it was a contradiction in words and actions.

Siwoo is also a decent warrior who has overcome countless battles.
He knows the uplift and excitement that only battle can give.
The intense experience of life and death in an instant split into hundreds of seconds brings joy that cannot be tasted in everyday life.

Then, even if it is Linnaeus who cannot feel anything with normal stimulation.
Isn’t she realizing life as much as she did at that moment.
Maybe that’s why he pursued the fight until he got the nickname ‘Sword Demon’?

This inference was possible.

“It’s nice to be able to talk like this. I had no idea.”
“…….”
“This is why dating is good.”

Of course, Rinne responded positively.

“Don’t you have any questions about me?”
“None. When will you return?”
“I have a little more of what has already come out.”

Stop Rinne from rushing.
She hadn’t even analyzed the door properly yet.

Gently, he turned his eyes away from her and started a conversation.

“How did Master become a witch?”

‘How did she become a public figure?’

At the same time, identify the main point of the inquiry.
The door itself was a huge magic, but in all magic, there is an axis that is the core.

The main point that can be confirmed by the flow of magical power is around the time of scanning the total three.
Siu looked away from the sudden silence.

“Master?”
“…….”

Lynne doesn’t answer.
Rinne blinked her eyes as she sat absent-mindedly.

Could she have asked something she shouldn’t have asked?
Or did she get caught by the way she was observing the door?

It was a car that I was nervous about.

“Master.”
“… I am listening.”

Only at the second call did Rinne respond slowly.
He lifted the cup she was holding tightly with both hands and wet her lips again.

When Rinne put down her glass.
Seeu saw it.

Where are the eyes that used to be like knives?
Now, her pupils were blurry and unfocused, repeatedly moving out of focus and then back in.

“Are you drunk?”
“… Not.”

That’s not enough, she slowly blinks her eyes and shakes her head.
Her complexion hasn’t changed at all, but her tongue is also strangely curled.

Siwoo looked at Rinne’s glass.

I think she only drank half of it.
Although it is based on vodka, the Mosque Mule with lime juice and ginger bale is only about 15 degrees.
Considering the amount of ice added to it, the actual alcohol content will be lower than that of Fresh Soju.

The witch’s stigma with active self-defense doubles as detoxification.
To be determined and drunk, you really have to pour and drink.

Doesn’t Master alone easily clear a bottle of whiskey in one sitting?

But she thought that Rinne wasn’t even an apprentice witch, and that she was just an alcoholic scumbag who drank to such an extent that she drank and got drunk.
Even considering it was her first experience, she was a bit surprised.

“What did you say?”
“Ah, did you ask how you became a witch, Master?”
“…….”

Oh
Sleep.
Rinne’s eyelids, which were gradually getting heavy, closed slowly, and then she lowered her head.

If I had a younger sister like this, she would not have let me go to her drinking party even if she was ripped off.

I didn’t mean to do this, but heaven help.
A great opportunity to observe the door without looking at Linne!

Siu, who immediately tried to look out the window, frowned at him.

No matter how much the sound insulation is placed, even the senses are not limited.
I could feel the footsteps on the floor stomping toward the table here.

There’s not even an attempt to hide his anger.

Let’s look back, sure enough.
There was a witch who flirted with Siwoo earlier on the first floor and a witch who was somehow familiar.

“Dorothy! It’s this guy!”
“Eh.”

Gray hair and unique silver eyes.
The witch, who put an I-cup cow’s breast on her arm, looked at her sister-in-law and smiled at her.

“Is this a very cheeky-looking guy?”
