After my rebirth, Miss Saint turned evil

Page 52

"Ugh... Damn it, what's going on?"

Murphy, who was standing aside, had no idea what these two people were thinking.

He ignored Aunt Kelly's strange behavior and just nodded at her, indicating that she would take responsibility for the matter.

Then, before Aunt Kelly gave a bored look.

Murphy turned her head again and took one last look at Ella.

Then he turned around and left.

He didn't look back, nor did he pay any attention to Candice.

Because Murphy felt that there was no need for her to continue to be entangled with Candice.

Anyway, his wounds have been healed and there is nothing else to do here, so he is ready to leave.

As for whether Candice wanted to stay here and continue visiting the church or do her own thing, it didn't matter because it had nothing to do with him.

At that time, as long as he pays back all that he owes her, they will be completely even.

-------------------------------------

Giok, who was reading the scriptures to passers-by, heard the sound of a door opening behind him and turned to look.

Then he saw Murphy coming out, and Candice following closely behind him.

"Finished?"

"Ah."

Murphy just nodded to Giok, and without saying anything else, he left.

Because he didn't want to reminisce with this trainee priest, whom he was not very familiar with.

He had to go to the slums to find Old Jed and get his things back.

Murphy walked slowly on the road heading towards East City District.

He didn't look back, as if he didn't hear the footsteps coming from behind him.

"..."

Murphy walked in silence all the way to the slums in East City District.

However, at this moment, he suddenly stopped.

"boom!"

He felt a bump from behind. It was Candice who was following him.

Because she had been keeping her head down, she didn't notice that Murphy, who was walking in front of her, suddenly stopped.

By the time she reacted, it was too late to brake, and she ended up bumping into Murphy's back.

"......pain!"

Murphy turned around when she heard the voice and found Candice standing behind her, covering her forehead with one hand.

Candice also noticed Murphy's gaze.

She released her hand from her forehead and looked up at Murphy.

After noticing the other person's smiling eyes and slightly curved mouth, she wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

"Ugh...how embarrassing!"

'Why am I so stupid!'

Candice thought so and couldn't help but lower her head again and put her arms around it.

Now she was just about to squat down and lie on the ground.

Murphy looked at Candice, who looked like an underage ostrich, and almost laughed out loud.

Fortunately, he finally held back, but the corners of his eyes and mouth were still slightly curved.

Then he coughed twice and cleared his throat.

Then asked Candice.

"Miss Candice, is your home here too?"

"No...not..."

"Then why did you follow me here?"

“Ugh…, I——”

"Never mind. Whatever you want."

"You can do whatever you want, it has nothing to do with me anyway."

Murphy didn't press Candice any further because she definitely wouldn't be able to say anything anyway.

"As long as you don't join the brave team, things won't get worse."

"And right now, they're not much stronger than me."

He made an excuse for himself and denied the fact that he was soft-hearted.

Then, he decided not to interfere too much in his relationship with the other people.

Don't try to get close, nor try to distance yourself from others, just let nature take its course.

Anyway, there is nothing I can do about matters of the heart.

Just make sure that you don’t become as mediocre as you were in the past.

Thinking of this, Murphy started walking again and walked into the alley where Old Jed was.

And Candice still followed closely behind him.

She was not discouraged by Murphy's last words.

On the contrary, she felt that it was a manifestation of the other party's gentleness.

"Mr. Murphy, what a gentle man you are."

Because the last words Murphy said actually meant that he had tacitly approved of Candice's behavior of following him all the time.

probably.

At least that's what Candice thought.

-------------------------------------

Old Jed was sitting leisurely in his alley, smoking his old pipe, so comfortable that his wrinkles were completely relaxed.

From time to time, there were "click" and "click" sounds coming from his mouth.

Suddenly, the keen hearing suddenly heard the footsteps of two people approaching here.

However, the footsteps suddenly stopped when they were still some distance away from the entrance of the alley.

After a while, the two footsteps sounded again, still heading in this direction.

Old Jed narrowed his single eye, his sharp gaze fixed on the entrance of the alley.

Then he tensed his body.

He slowly reached behind him and grabbed the dagger hidden there.

-------------------------------------

Well, the early morning chapter is probably finished. I have to work on my paper, which is due on February 1st_(?_`」∠)_.

It will be posted tomorrow, so you don't have to wait for the second chapter, go to bed early (I'm very sorry)

Chapter 55 Stubborn

As he grew older, old Jed's physical abilities inevitably declined.

But after living for so many years, the experience gained from those rich experiences has also enabled him to have more proficient skills.

His body was completely tense and his hand was tightly gripping the dagger.

At this moment, he was like a hyena about to start hunting.

And his eyes were fixed on the entrance of the alley.

However, after seeing the two figures coming in, he breathed a sigh of relief and quickly loosened his hand and took it back.

Because he knew the two people who walked in, they were his disciple Murphy and the magician lady he had worked with before.

However, seeing these two people appear here so early, Old Jed couldn't help but feel surprised.

Because he didn't expect Murphy to come back so soon. After all, the white-haired girl and the old woman in the church were not simple either.

Not to mention, this time Murphy brought a woman who had feelings for him with him.

So Old Jed had thought that Murphy would definitely not be able to come today.

But I didn’t expect that I guessed wrong.

Old Jed just sat on the worn but comfortable cushion and watched the two men walk up to him.

Then he gently placed the pipe in his hand on the ground.

Then, he asked Murphy with some doubts.

"It's over without anything happening? You're back so soon?"

"Nothing happened?"

"What could possibly happen if I go to church? And...is this even fast?"

Murphy couldn't help but ask back because he was a little confused about Old Jed's question.

After all, the speed of performing a divine art like healing is actually quite fast.

It's just that because Aunt Kelly kept teasing him, he wasted a lot of time in church.

Otherwise he could have left earlier, so his return was not fast at all.

"Tsk, that's not what I meant. I meant——"

"..."

Seeing that Old Jed stopped talking halfway, Murphy waited for a long time but didn't respond, and she became even more confused.

"say what?"

"...Oh, never mind. It has nothing to do with me anyway."

"..."

Old Jed thought about it and decided not to continue.

After all, when the three of them separated at the city gate, Old Jed had already decided not to interfere in the private affairs of his stupid apprentice.

And that decision has not been made for more than two hours.

Murphy was left speechless by what Old Jed said in the middle of his sentence.

But he didn't say anything, after all, his master has always been like this.

He looked at Old Jed again and found that he was smoking a pipe with a frown on his face as if he was thinking about something.

After a while, he seemed to remember what he was going to do, and suddenly stood up and walked to the corner behind him.

Then he walked to a large wooden box and lifted the rag covering it.

Then he looked into the box and took out a large bag and half a bottle of wine.

Old Jed handed the big bag and the wine to Murphy who was standing in front of Candice.

"This is yours, take it."

"Thank you, Master."

Murphy put the backpack that Enoch gave him on his left hand on his back.

Then, he took the big bag with both hands and felt the weight. It was indeed heavy.
