Chapter 23 - 23 - Even the system is embarrassed at Host
Chapter 23: Chapter 23 - Even the system is embarrassed at Host'Again?', I could feel my face went blank the moment I heard that same vomit sound as that insect over my head just tried to vomit, though of course it was only on the name of sound rather than anything coming out of her mouth this time.
:: haah, I am hungry, my stomach is empty ::
'Good, now you can't vomit.'
Shrugging my shoulder as I felt relieved, I focused towards the woman in front of me.
She clearly squinted her eyes as she seemed to judge me again after plumping all my already distorted image in her eyes.
Of course, my words were cringe enough to make me embarrassed saying those, but it was needed considering these cringe words would be delivered as it is to the princess and give her the impression of my mentality.
"...I see."
Olea gave a short reply, turned her face towards the other direction, clearly understanding that I was not going to give her a proper answer.
With all the things—dialogues, compliments—I could speak until now, I breathed before turning my gaze to the outside with the carriage rattling sound filling the whole place.
After all, even if it was for my life, I could not use those same cringe dialogues on which I had not known cursed how many authors.
There was a limit to even my immunity to being purely cringy—'So, yeah, that's all romantic dialogues I could say to her.'
:: Romance or Vulgarity? ::
'Virgins will not understand, so shut up.'

"We will soon enter the Capital city."
My body jolted out of the wake state where there were dark circles near my eyes.
Even I could not sleep a single bit due to looking at this woman who seemed to glare back at me with the same intensity as I did all the way till here.
[ Host, it seems she has fallen for you. ]
'I can see that, idiot.'
I would have believed the system if not for three reasons.
The first one was that due to my experience with college friends, who whenever a girl looked at me, they liked proving some scientific theorem and gave me a hundred logical reasons that she had fallen head over heels for me—leading to some tragedies.
Second, due to the first reason, I started to read a woman's body language.
Seeing the one seated in front of me, I could clearly see that she was indeed in love, not with me but with the fact to cut me into pieces, bathe in my blood, or maybe even if she could, eat my organs.
The third was that this system was an idiot.
Hence proved.
"Woah! Is this carriage from the Arcutus family?!"
"Which young master is he?"
Soon enough, breaking me out of my thoughts were the voices causing me to look outside of the compact carriage.
I noticed individuals on the streets looking towards the carriage, some peeking from their vending shops, also paying attention to the insignia of the Duke family.
Considering most of the members in the Arcutus family decided in the capital city, they were in the inner circle unlike this outer circle from where anyone needed to pass to enter the capital city.
So the capital city was particularly divided into four layers like the earth's surface: crust, mantle, and core, where right now I had just entered the surface area with the core being the place where the royal family resided and also had the mansion of Princess Aleriana situated there.
The streets lined with shops which had wooden designs reminiscent of the red wood carved in the style of huts.
Individuals were wearing the robes or whatever it was called, considering I was never good at describing things.
But from the view of it, it was similar to every cultivation novel I had read.
The same drunkard individual seated on donkeys with a wooden stick behind him as if
Clearing my throat, as maybe in the flow of emotions, I had nearly called myself a pig.
But with the help of the system and clearing my name, I focused on Olea, whose eyes though had seen how I had killed so many assassins in our way, yet seemed to have that widened surprise.
She looked towards me blinking as if she wanted to see through my ability, my strength, or how I was able to achieve it with this mortal body of mine.
"How did you—"
Olea was about to speak up before my eyes, through the small window, noticed a flower shop nearby where some hooligans were bullying an old woman.
'Check if that old woman is qualified or not."
[ Qualification_Value = 92/100 (Qualified) ]
[ Wait, Host, don't tell me, you are going for some old woman?! ]
'Old is gold!' Ignoring the system's words, I swiftly hurled out of the carriage which had slowed down due to busy streets.
Age is just a number was true, but this became even more true in a world where one can retain their youth for thousands of years.
"Stop, everyone! Don't you dare bully the old grandma!"
I yelled, glaring towards a few bulky individuals with eyes clearly angered.
"Huh? But we are purchasing flowers though—"
"Snatching the flowers from a beautiful grandma! You devils!"
[....I am embarrassed (༎ຶ ෴ ༎ຶ) ]
