Reincarnated In An Otome Fashion Game (on Hold)

C 13

Day 19-22 :

"Great. Just when i thought the scar on my right hip that goes down to my thigh is troublesome, i got another one.

Fate's a little shit isn't it.

In recent days I've been training my crafting magic. I managed to almost get it to Min. Leveled. But i also used the weird route again for a faster way.

But everything comes with a cost huh.... this feels like the equivalent exchange from FMA.

Instead of alchemy by drawing ritual circles, i have to make some liquid potions for my own good. And the ingredients for those are pretty difficult for me to get.

According to the big fat book of mind magic, crafting powers can be levelled up faster than normal if you can manage to make the right potions to drink.

And yes i managed to make those and drink them as boosters. But do you know what i have to get for making them ?

Explosive flowers seeds, 2 wasp stingers, melted pigeons spirit stones, a nail from a rusty plank, melted glass shards, rabbit's foot, snake blood, 3 drops of blue honey, 1 bottle of pure powdered sugar, and some other things that i don't want to mention.

Luckily I'm from a rich house, so i got half of these stuff easily.

But for the other half that i have to get by myself is tiring me. Melting the spirit stones, chopping the rabbits foot, gathering explosive seeds in the woods, killing wasps, juicing the hell out of a snake.

My god, i have to make myself be prepared at all cost for this crazy requirements. After all of this, did you know what made me gain another scar ?.

The explosive seeds and wasps.

When i got some explosive seeds in my basket, a bird from a tree dropped some seeds behind my back.

A little explosion that feels like a 'throw and pop' firecrackers suddenly happened behind me. Picture that.

I'm a bit traumatized , cause you know.... it was like my Death. But my body is still in one piece. Yet i gained a dark circle on my lower back because of this. I tried clearing it with a high quality healing potion, but it's still there.

With the exception of the color and the circle became less visible. Not entirely gone and outstanding, but it's still there.

And now.... for the wasps. Those scary lil shits are like nightmares.

After a day of me healing my back wound, the wasps attacked me on the same spot again. LUcKy mE !.

Even though i already got the stingers, the rest of the wasps wanted revenge. Well, i know how they're feeling, but it's either me or them. And i came out alive with experience and scars.

I should craft some protection amulets in the future huh...

Ugh, i hope nobody will notice this one.... cause it will be really troublesome if someone other than Lyra knew about my scars.

Yet.... i think Lyra is mad at me. For gaining more scars of course. But she looked very sad every time she saw them. That's understandable, cause scars like this are a lifetime legacy. And i can't really do anything to them, except cover them with makeup or make an illusion on my skin.

I think she's also mad cause i went to get some of this things by myself without someone to guard or keep me from any harm.

That would be hard Lyra.

I apologized to her, and she only looked me in the eyes with concern.

...

Oh yeah, on a side note to this journey, Rein kun seems kinda suspicious lately.

Whenever he accidentally hit me or made me scared, he would always say sorry and ran away as far as he could to avoid me.

I don't know why, but when he came back, he will look like a mess. His hair would poof out, his clothes will have some loose strands, he's covered in dust, and he would always look exhausted.

I wonder what happened to him...

Was it his magic training ?

experiments gone wrong ?

Or he got attacked by something ?.

If i asked him about it, he will avoid me even further. So i just kept quiet about it until now....

I worry about that boy too you know. He's more of a good brother than my past one has ever been. My past brother is a spoiled bastard. He can do whatever he wants,we hate each other to the core, he's also very arrogant, cause my mother would always baby him.

But now, i think I'm kinda glad that i will never meet him again. He's one of the few people that made me hate the world. He had hurt me a lot, to the point that i really wish he was never born. Some would say that's what 'siblings' always do. They all didn't notice the abuse. Hah.

Ok brain, that was sad. Moving on.

Oh oh ! Since Rein-kun can stop and slow time, i managed to convince him to call his magic 'The World'.

Hehe, he'll never notice or understand what i meant by that.

Za warudo~."
