The Resetting Lady

[11]

It was a huge gray animal. It was an animal that I only saw in the story. I opened my mouth. It’s a luxury made of ivory. I’ve had it, but it’s a living creature. It’s even a gray mass that doesn’t go well with the light of ivory. Karen’s fantasy of being a big and elegant animal was shattered.

“It’s an animal called an elephant, and it uses its nose like a hand. Drink water with your nose, too! You won’t be able to catch up with water by the nose. Is there anyone who wants to try?”

“I’ve been nosing myself in the water on a plate.”

“What? Which idiot dies like that?”

“…let’s be quiet and watch.”

It was an extraordinary animal that was completely different from animals such as deer, birds, and wild boars, which usually appear on land. There was even no hair and the ears were bigger than the giant drum. It wasn’t the elegant color I imagined, but it still had a strange charm.

He did various tricks to see if he was quite smart, and he used his nose to show a completely different movement from other animals. The elephant moved its nose and handed over the object. Karen reached out her hand among the cheering audience. I wanted to touch my long nose.

“Don’t do that because it’s dangerous.”

Bowen pulled Karen’s hand.

I’m annoyed. Events happen and people die. Karen is of course dangerous. Fear of death is a trifle to Karen. He who interferes with Karen was nothing but a distraction to entertainment. He gave up his hand and reached out to the animal.

The elephant’s eyes met. Karen found it interesting that the giant beast’s eyes were so small. And he laughed for a moment. A big elephant approaches Karen. Karen reached out her hand. Is he shaking hands with his nose?

Boom.

“You punk!”

The walk didn’t stop.

It was the trainer who noticed the abnormality. He poked the elephant in the ribs with a small spear. A woman screamed at the sight of the blood flowing out. Even though he pierced the thick leather, the elephant did not stop. The trainer stabbed the window again, but soon it fell out.

The steps continued down the stage. The beast who had walked into the stands approached her. Karen was in rapture. The first audience woke up screaming, but it was late. The trainer shouted and blocked him. It was meaningless even though it was an act to divert attention. He couldn’t stop the elephant anymore.

Boom.

“No!”

“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!”

Quick, quick.

A terrible sound and blood splashed. The man wielding a spear was crushed. The shocking sight left the audience in a curious silence for a few seconds.

No one moved until the leader got up and shouted.

“Get out of here! Come on!

The scream spread in an instantaneously. People ran toward a small exit. However, people who were terrified got tangled and fell down and quickly grabbed each other’s ankles. The chairs fell and fell on them. The theater was in a state of abyss. It was a living hell.

“Maddy! This way!”

Bowen got Karen and Donna up and removed the chairs in front of him, but the good spot for sight was too far from the exit. The chair or man was so small for the elephant that the big beast walked toward Karen without any interference. The staff at the theater who were trying to block the way walked, throwing them with their noses and mashing their feet. Nothing can stop it. Karen looked at the elephant. That nose is quite strong, I was amazed.

“Ah”

“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!”

As the elephant approached, the bone of the child who was pointing at the elephant broke. The heavy foot fell on the body of the woman who was screaming and pulling the child out. The chairs are broken.

The elephant is approaching. Karen looked up. Bowen blocked Karen and Donna. The dull body came down slowly and made eye contact again. Elephants kneel down. Karen hasn’t given up yet.

Karen laughed.

Someone covered Karen’s eyes.

The terrible roar made Karen want to scratch the blindfolded with her fingernails. Cover your ears, you idiot! However, he had to cover his ears right away, rather than scratch them with the vibration that tore his eardrum. Nevertheless, the name bothered her. The high notes of beeps and beeps shake the brain. And the sound of gunshots being fired again is heard again.

Shut up, stop it, it’s noisy! Leave her alone. Leave her alone!

Shout in your heart that you can’t hear.

The smell of gunpowder stabbed strongly in the nose to open his eyes.

“Ah….”

Of course. Right. The elephant had collapsed over its huge body. The gray body was covered with holes and blood. There’s nothing you can do about it. Karen approached.

Even though such a large animal has such a great power, it is the end of its life by raising things or burning others. Dozens of bullets were embedded, but I saw a wound that punctured the top of the head to stop the first step.

It’s obvious who it is. This role is not given to passing extras. Karen approached the elephant. I haven’t lost my breath yet. But I didn’t think I’d live by treating it. It’s not a matter of getting better or not, but it’s not about animals that hurt humans. The skin was thick. A bullet pierces this skin, too. I can feel the warmth even if I don’t touch it. Karen reached out her hand. I wanted to stroke that long nose.

“Back off!”

Someone, or Karen, knows who. He grabbed Karen by the arm roughly. Karen had to stagger back. The aristocracy spoils the fun in this place. He was a seed of Raymond. Xenon, it’s true that he’s here. He came again this time… It’s not funny.

He looks at the place where the first shot came from.

He’s here. The golden devil. a master of satanism

Raymond.

a lover of more than a hundred years her male lead her article

He doesn’t even know his face now.

The distance is quite far, but I can’t help but recognize him.

He cannot fail to recognize Karen.

He turned his head. Now was not the time to pay much attention to him. It’s time for Karen to express her gratitude if she helps closely, and if she helps from afar, Karen doesn’t know and she knows. This is how we first met at this meeting. Karen wanted to see the animal in front of her nose move before she died, rather than Raymond.

JENO grabbed Karen by the shoulder roughly. Karen glared at his hand and said,

“Let go.”

“Oh… back off, girl.”

“…I forgive your rudeness. But you’re the one who has to step down.”

Bowen sprang up and stood between Xenon and Karen.

“Thank you for the arrangement. She’s still young..”

“Oh, my God, you have to educate him well! Get out of the way!”

Jenon loaded the gun without saying more, knowing that he was a girl who would be annoyed if he handled it roughly. And Karen closed her ears again, and Xenon finished.

“Footman Bowen Lewis of the Haier Mansion.”

“It’s Jenon.”

“Ah….”

“You’re just a hunter, so don’t worry.”

“Don’t say that. On behalf of the lord, I would like to thank you very much for saving the lady and taking care of the situation. Please give me the honor of inviting you. You’ll get a fair price.”

“Isn’t that what your lady should say?”

Bowen hurried to find Karen at the insinuating sarcastic remark. But Karen was nowhere to be found in the circus tent.

“Donna! Donna! Where’s the lady!”

“Higo, now you’re looking for a lost child…You’re a girl of all sorts.”

Xenon shrugged his shoulders and looked where his master was standing. Xenon can’t see him well, but his master will see him well. He’s a sniper with a good eye.

“Sigh….”

Karen escaped from the maze of alleys. How many times I’ve been on a complicated path. If not now, it would be difficult to seize the opportunity to move alone, so I had to move quickly. Haldak took his breath and walked in the darkened alley.

He was far away from Raymond and was able to get out of the crowd while Bowen was distracted. You can’t miss the opportunity. There will be no future where we can move alone for the time being. Can I meet Mrs. Dare alone?

“Maybe it’s different today.”

It’s a day I’ve seen animals I haven’t seen in 100 years.

I think of the end of a huge animal. a curious beast that might only come out of old stories The people who were crushed at the foot of the strange animal, who lived in a far hot country, looked like a bug who was forced to be dragged through the paper and crushed to death.

“…woop.”

I felt nauseous. It’s not guilt. But strangely, I felt bad. Homogeneity? Empathy? Karen chose a word. But nothing is enough.

Still, what’s certain is that today has changed a lot. Seeing what I didn’t see, those who wouldn’t die died. If Nancy’s absence changes this way, maybe this is an opportunity to learn about her situation. The tutor’s house was next to the hat store. If today is a day of new divisions, we may be able to go to Mrs. Dare’s house before the following is decided.

“Ah.”

Stop walking.

Furthermore, it is an alley where you are “in danger of rape.” Isn’t it time yet? He looked at the moon. Not yet. Karen was able to predict the future of the book to some extent through her stories, though it was hard to call life. Even if you twist around, Karen is in danger and Raymond saves her during this time she goes out, just as he eventually dies and starts again.

The lightest and most common story was Karen watching street performances with Bowen and Nancy. Then someone stumbles over Karen’s hip, and Raymond grabs it and stops it. And if it’s a little heavier, in this alley….

“That’s a pretty good thing. How old are you?”

This is how it is concentrated. I saw a man who recited lines fed up with cliche. Haven’t you been in this alley for a while? 12 or 13 years?

“Don’t do this.”

“Don’t do this? What did I do?

Drive Karen to the wall. Hold Karen’s head. My breath stinks. The man’s right leg presses Karen’s thigh.

“Oh, he’s in pretty good shape. She has nice teeth and fair skin. I’m sure it’s down there too, right?”

“Because I eat well, sleep well, and wash well.”

“Look at her mouth.”

A man giggled and blocked the alley so that Karen could not escape.

“Hey, this must be the daughter of a wealthy family.”

“Let me taste it, too.”

The lower body is quite swollen. Somehow I remembered the elephant from before.

“Poof.”

“Why, is that good?”

“A girl who doesn’t understand the situation.”

Elephants! Elephants! Karen couldn’t hold back her laughter.
