Only Wisdom Awakened - Chapter 261

Chapter 261: Lazy Bum
It was a morning just like usual in Greece.

Inside a modern-style villa isolated from the nearby cities, a woman was sleeping with little to no clothes, her thick eiderdown covering her bare skin from the gentle rays of sun that penetrated inside the room from the huge window.

She opened her mouth as she slept and murmured something, her words, however, couldn’t be understood as they were muffled by the pillow.

A few birds that had stationed themselves on top of the house’s flat roof began chirping, and just a few seconds later, an annoying beeping resounded throughout the empty house.

“Mhhh”

The woman tried to speak, but her lips were still stuck together from the long sleep, and so were her eyelids, which felt difficult to split apart.

It took a few attempts, but she finally managed to open her eyes, she felt blinded by the light of the rising sun as she lifted her torso.

The blankets covering her body fell off, revealing her incredible body.

Her skin was tanned, and her black bra conflicted with her angelic yellow hair.

The first thing she did after waking up was sighing.

However, it didn’t take that much time for her to gather enough energy to get up.

Almost five minutes later, she was already sipping a little cup of coffee, leaning with her back on the counter of the kitchen on the first floor.

Even if her day had already started, there were still no signs of clothes on her body other than her underwear.

Her whole body was tanned equally, even if it was still winter.

It almost seemed as if it was her normal skin tone.

She sighed once again as she gazed into the distance…

“What a hassle”

She murmured.

Before she could get back to her room on the second floor and change into some wearable clothes, someone rang her doorbell.

‘God dammit… what now?’

She immediately thought… the day had just begun, but she was already tired enough to go back to sleep.

Painstakingly making her way towards the door, she didn’t even bother checking who it was, and just like that, still dressed in her underwear, she opened the door to her house.

She watched the two people standing at the house’s doorsteps with a questioning expression.

One was a… girl? Maybe…. While the other looked like an old man dressed in black with a white beard and….

And whatever else… she had done enough.

Without even stealing one last glance at the two, the woman closed the door and returned to her room with the intention to sleep.

‘That’s enough for today’

She thought as she lay in her bed with a smile.

But all of a sudden, two people appeared before her when she was about to close her eyes.

“What do you want?”

She asked whispering, since talking required too much energy.

“We are here from the night market”

One of them replied:

“We have come because we have decided to grant your request”

The girl turned around in her double-sided bed hugging a pillow as she whispered in an even lower tone, almost falling asleep:

“Hehe… you two are funny, I never made that request thingy”

But before she could fall asleep, one of the two people appeared in front of her once again.

“No, you did.

Remember that material you asked for?”

“Mashelial…”

She murmured as her lips fell asleep.

“That’s right! How about this? While we go to our base we will let you sleep without anyone disturbing you, I’m sure you’ll sleep better inside a car right?”

For the first time since they had crossed paths, the woman saw the man’s face without any blurry spots…

He had a mustache and a white beard.

His sharp nose and round glasses made him look like an old teacher,

As her lips formed into a warm smile, she opened them and whispered:

“You… you are a good person”

Barely getting up from her bed, the woman was ready to follow the two out, but the old man stopped before her.

Her half-closed eyes stared at him curiously.

“You will have to dress up, you can’t leave like this or you will draw attention”

A whisper came back, as always.

“Don’t worry… I don’t need clothes… let’s go”

The woman, walking like a zombie, tried to pass beside the man and get out of the house, but he continued to stop her.

In a desperate attempt to get some help, the man glanced at the other woman, who decided to help and take a few clothes from the lazy bum’s luxurious wardrobe and put them on her.

She was now dressed in a black shirt, some white comfy pants, and a black jacket they had to borrow from the old man’s clothes to hide her hair and make her seem like a normal person.

However, her golden eyes, even if barely visible because of her falling eyelids, still attracted a lot of attention, so they put some sunglasses on her face and finally accompanied her outside.

As if they were dealing with a hungover friend, they escorted her to the back of the car and then closed the door before going to the front seats.

The car almost immediately started, and the cuddling of the slight bumps on the road’s surface accompanied the woman’s sleep…

‘It’s so hypnotizing… so warm… so… so…

“Snore~….

Snore~….”

They still hadn’t moved more than ten meters, and yet the woman had already fallen asleep, snoring loudly and hugging her coat as if it were a blanket.

In the meantime, the woman sitting on the right of the car couldn’t help but ask the driver:

“Did it get worse or something? She couldn’t even open her eyes”

The other almost immediately replied:

“I am not sure milady, I am more worried about how she will react when she wakes up… you know, this technically counts as kidnapping, we even have the keys to her house now….”

“Well… she gave those to us didn’t she”

…

As she said that, both of them remembered the lazy woman’s words:

“Mh…. That’s a hassle, let’s just leave the door open…”

After a bit of talking, they managed to convince her that leaving it open was a bad idea, so she straight up told them:

“Alright then…

You close it.

The keys are… somewhere inside the house…

I think”

….

“Haha…”

Emma let out an awkward laugh…

“I mean… we did a good thing, didn’t we? Maybe she’ll thank us when she wakes up”

“I mean… dreaming doesn’t hurt people… it’s good to have a wild imagination when you’re still young….”

The old man said smiling.

….

….

“Mhh…”

A woman’s voice tried its best to get out of her mouth…

Somewhere… probably underground, the blonde woman’s eyelids split apart once again.

She looked around confused as she felt the touch of something cold on her neck.

She didn’t know it, but Emma, who was standing right behind her, was preparing a countdown in her head:

‘Three…

Two…

One….

Aaand…’

“Ahhh!!! What the fuck do you think you’re doing!!”

‘Here it is…’

Emma commented inwardly.

“Gosh! Let go of me!! For fuck’s sake! I’m going to drill a hole through your head if you don’t-”

“Shut up for a bit will you?”

The old butler said as he removed the little pack of ice they had left between her neck and the backrest of the chair she was seated on.

“Calm down my foot!! You brought me here and tied my fricking hands with steel bars!! Which side of this story tells you I should stay calm?!”

“Eh-ehm”

The old man coughed to draw the woman’s attention, and he finally walked in front of her so she could see him.

He had a beautiful mask resembling a monster like a demon on his face, but it was colored black and took the shape of a beautiful butterfly.

Even if the mask only covered the man’s eyes and middle nose, as if it were a replacement for his glasses, the woman was unable to distinguish his face…

She could feel a vague sense of familiarity, so she could clearly tell that she had seen him before, but she couldn’t remember even a single detail about his face.

“Let me get this straight… I didn’t bring you here to hurt you, I brought you here regarding the request you handed in a few months ago”

“Uh?!”

She immediately said without even reasoning.

“What request would I-”

Before she could finish her mindless talking, she remembered what she had requested….

A bit of time passed before she looked at the man once again and asked;

“Are you really part of the night market?”

Even if she couldn’t recognize his face, she managed to see a smile as the man said:

“Why would I need to lie to you?”

“Alright then, now tell me where the-”

“Uh-uh….

Not so quickly….

You have to pay us first”

“Pay you? How am I supposed to do that!! You trapped me in here, you should be able to wait for my transfer right?”

“Haha… dear, what would we need money for?”

“What?!”

The woman was clearly confused…. Payment… without money?

“You will have to heal someone for us….

It seems like a fair deal doesn’t it?”
