35. Frankenstein (1)

[Chapter 35] – Frankenstein (1)

‘Synthetic human…?’

Frankenstein, who introduced himself as an artificial human, nodded slightly gloomily. He was still expressionless, but should I say the atmosphere? She was a girl who unexpectedly expressed her emotions through her actions.

When she said she was an artificial human, something terrifyingly passed through her head. Come to think of it, Sylphy called Aurora, who became Ryanansi, an ‘artificial fairy’. Does it have anything to do with it?

For some reason, feeling worried, I unknowingly clung to the hand that held the princess. Then, the princess, who puffed up his cheeks, patted the back of my hand, saying that her hand hurt.

“My hand hurts.”

“…Ah. Mi-I’m sorry.”

I was surprised then, relaxed my hand, and looked at the princess’s hand. Fortunately, after stroking the back of the princess’ hand, which was slightly reddened, he turned his head and looked at ‘Witch Frankenstein’.

Really, as if they were dolls, they were still staring at me and the princess with an expressionless expression. I don’t know what the hell you’re thinking…

As I was glaring at Frankenstein, the princess asked me if I had heard Frankenstein’s self-introduction, her eyes flashing. I asked if that person was a doctor who would treat Ainsel.

“Your Highness the Queen, Ainsel, are you going to be all right now? Are you no longer sick?”

“That, that is…”

Come to think of it, Ainsel had lied to the princess about going to see the doctor. Now that her credibility has risen, she’s here and when the princess finds out she lied-

As I was speechless and at a loss for what to do, Frankenstein approached me and looked at me and the princess. Then he crouched down at the princess’s eye level and took his seat.

“Yes, Aincell is currently in the final stage of treatment. Soon, Ainsel will be able to see her princess in perfect condition.”

“I-Really…?”

Frankenstein nodded his head with an emotionless expression. He thought that it would have a strong mechanical feel because of his expressionless expression and the feeling of being an ‘artificial human’, but in fact it seemed different.

First of all, I agreed with Frankenstein’s words and nodded.

“Yes. Ainsel will definitely come back healthy now… Why don’t she go over there for a while and she’s playing with Sylphy? I need to talk to the doctor for a while.”

– Huh? Look at the woman and take care of the child now…?

“I’ll give you two candies, please.”

-…It’s not good if you just pamper a fairy. It’s only this one time.

Sylphy flew up into the sky, circled around the princess a few times, climbed onto the bed, and started playing with the princess. As I looked at her, a short sigh of relief leaked out from her.

“…First of all, thank you. Mr. Frankenstein…?”

“You can call me ‘Fran’. You don’t even need respect. Vivian.”

“Okay, I’ll take good care of you in the future. Franc.”

When I extended my hand to Fran, Fran looked blankly at my outstretched hand for a moment, then carefully grabbed it and waved it up and down.

I heard that it was an artificial human, so I thought it was something different from normal people, but the warmth I felt from Fran’s hand was no different from that of a human.

“Then, could you show me the ‘body’ of Ainsel first? We will quickly start diagnosing.”

I lifted the main body of Ainsel from the wall and handed it to Fran, and Fran quickly sat down and began examining the main body of Aincel.

Fran lifted up Ainsel’s main body and swept down the surface of the mirror, which was Ainsel’s main body, saying that he would start the diagnosis. Then, the surface of the mirror fluctuated for a moment, and then calmed down again.

And Fran, who looked up and down Ainsel’s body, nodded her head knowingly and turned her head to look at me.

“…I see. Understand. As Sylphy said, it is a ‘rebound’ of the contract. It’s like a common disease among fairies. If it were me, it could be cured quickly.”

“Haa… Thank God.”

I let out a long sigh of relief when Fran said that Ainsel could be cured in no time. When Aincel comes to his senses, he should say a word, don’t let his liver fall by taking responsibility again.

As I was sweeping my heart like that, Fran started looking at me with an emotionless expression. For some reason, I couldn’t get used to staring at her with those blue eyes.

“Fran…? What’s going on?”

“Nothing happened. However, Ainsel’s treatment takes very little time. So, I would like to hear about the ‘incident’ you wrote about in your letter during that time.”

Ah… Come to think of it, you said you wanted to hear more about the incident I went through, right? It’s fine if I tell you…

I turned my head and looked at the princess who was playing house with Sylphy on the bed.

Fran noticed that I was looking at the princess! Snapped her fingers Then, something like a translucent dome was placed around me and Fran.

“The sound has been blocked. This will keep our conversations from leaking out.”

I tried to stroke the dome that was placed around me and Fran as if it were strange. Perhaps it was a function that only blocked sound, but my fingers slipped through the translucent dome.

‘When will I ever be able to use magic like this?’

What I learned from Aincel was, at best, about making a small fire or sprinkling water. Even that required a lot of concentration, making it difficult to use properly.

As I was marveling at magic, Fran looked at me intently as if asking me to speak quickly. I groaned, clearing my throat and starting to talk, recalling the things I had been through one by one.

Like that, around the time when the first queen told her that she had become a ryanan city and killed the king.

Fran’s face showed emotions for the first time. One eyebrow twitched and raised, covering the corner of his mouth as if something was wrong.

Tok, talk. Fran, who was tapping the desk with her finger and thinking about something, looked at me with only a glance, and began to explain the reason for her late arrival.

“Actually, the reason I arrived late is that I witnessed an event very similar to the ‘incident’ described in the letter before I came here. And the subsequent processing of the case took time.”

“… Huh?”

“The Witch of Kerven, who was in charge of the case, requested emergency help, saying that something strange had happened. She said she needed me, the ‘doctor’.”

An incident similar to the one that happened in the royal castle…?

Could it be that someone else has become a liananshi and eats people? The moment I thought that, Fran started telling a more shocking story.

“Do you know the existence of a mermaid?”

“A mermaid…?”

*

The mermaids in this world that Fran told me about are very similar to the ‘Mermaid Princess’ in the fairy tale I know.

The lower body of a fish and the upper body of a human.

The ‘fairies’ who have beautiful appearances and seduce sailors with their singing voices. And, she said, one of the youngest princesses of such ‘mermaids’ fell in love with a person walking on the beach.

It’s quite common for fairies to fall for humans, and they said they didn’t pay much attention until now. The mermaid witch told the ‘mermaid princess’ who fell in love with a human to give up…

The Little Mermaid did not give up and longed for her love.

Saying that you love that person, that you want to have that person.

Later in the end.

‘He said he wanted to become one with that person.’

After hearing the story up to this point, I got goosebumps all over my body. As soon as I heard the story, ‘Aurora’, who had sucked blood for wanting to become one with my husband, came to mind.

How on earth do you come to the conclusion that you want to become one with the person you love? Was it love in the first place? I couldn’t quite understand.

As the mermaid princess, who wanted the ‘drug to become a human’ every day, stopped coming to visit her, the mermaid witch told her that she didn’t pay attention to her, hoping that her love affair had cooled.

After days passed without the Little Mermaid not looking for her witch, the incident eventually exploded. A terrible and terrible incident similar to what happened here in the palace.

The ‘Mermaid Princess’ discovered at the time was said to have legs.

It is said that her hair, which was originally red, became even redder due to the blood of her loved one, resembling beautiful red corals in the sea.

It is said that she sang while digging up the corpse of her lover on the beach where the waves hit. A terribly beautiful, terribly disgusting song.

“How are you? Isn’t it a very ‘similar incident’ to the incident in the royal palace?”

With an emotionless expression on her face, Fran calmly told her why she had come here late.

Certainly, the incident Fran told me was so similar that I thought it was the same incident.

Is it the work of the ‘someone’ Aurora said? The moment she wanted to, Fran told me about the follow-up of the incident she had been through, as if she had read my thoughts.

“Curven regarded this incident as someone’s ‘work’ and said he would pursue the culprit. Even the ‘great witch’ of Kurven started investigating.”

“…I see. Is there anything I can do to help?”

“It’s okay. Kerven is not weak enough to lend a hand to a witch who is not even an apprentice witch like you. “

Perfect!

As Franc snapped her fingers, the translucent dome that enveloped me and her franc disappeared. As if she had nothing more to say, Fran caressed the main body of Ainsel, who was sitting on her desk.

Then, slowly, ripples rippled across the mirror’s surface, and Vivian’s face slowly began to emerge. Ainsel even made a sound of pain.

I was startled and lifted up Ainsel’s main body. Ainsel was grunting and frowning as if he was still distracted.

It was like a child who had just woken up from sleep.

“Oh my God…!”

“For me, this is an easy treatment. However, it is still a period that requires stability, so I recommend leaving it as it is.”

When I made a sound of surprise, the princess who was playing on the bed also hurriedly jumped up and looked at Ainsel. She grunted and as she tried to wake up, she glared at her francs as if the princess were strange.

“It still hurts…? “

Does Ainsel still look sick in the eyes of the princess?

The Princess pokes her impression! She frowned and glared at her francs. However, Fran didn’t care about the princess’s expression, and she just looked at the princess with an expressionless expression.

Of course it will happen soon.

With those words, she thought she would comfort the princess, but-

“Sorry. Her operation ended in failure.”

“…!!!!!”

The princess opened her mouth in amazement at Fran’s lie. To the princess who couldn’t say anything with her mouth open as if she was speechless, Fran reversed her words as if playing a joke on her.

“It is a lie.”

“…!!!!!!!!!!”

Not knowing what to believe, the princess wrapped her head in her hands. What the hell is true and what is a lie The princess shouted at Fran.

“Lies are bad!!!”

“Why?”

“Yeah, yeah… Is lying bad…? That, and witches can’t lie! She said Her Highness the Queen would eat a thousand needles!! Do not lie!!”

Fran glanced at me with eyes as if asking what he was talking about, then squatted down to make eye contact with the humming princess. And opened her mouth wide in the presence of the princess—

“Beee-“

It wasn’t needles, but innumerable chunks of iron, like screws and cogs, poured out of Fran’s mouth. For a moment, I too was surprised and looked at it with my eyes wide open, but the princess was worse than me.

As if she would pass out any moment, the princess took a deep breath-

“Evil-!! aaa!!!!!”

In the end, he burst into tears saying that he was scared.

The princess, who had run away from Fran, grabbed the hem of her skirt and dragged herself on her floor. When he hugged the crying princess lying on the floor and comforted her, she began to cry even more sorrowfully.

“Huong!! Uhhhhh!!!”

When I looked at Fran with a really dumbfounded look, Fran wiped her mouth with her handkerchief, then made a V with her fingers and held it out to me with a confident expression.

“This is a franc joke that only androids can do. V.”
