Emeraldine easily dealt with a drunk old man in the streets that came with a knife asking her for money out of nowhere, was that a thief? Well, he got beaten down easily!

Right, she might be a magician but her Strength stat still increases over time while leveling… Huh, she’s strong enough to not get assaulted by people in the streets at least, and if that doesn’t work, she can vaporize them with a light beam.

“Uuugh… Gahhh…!”

The old man slowly tried to stand up, his eyes looked so white it was a bit frightening, what’s up with him? I checked his status and suddenly found something weird.

Wait, what? What with those Status? [Exhausted], [Drugged], [Hallucinating], [Confused], AND [Memory Loss]?! How come he can be inflicted with so many at the same time, is this what drinking alcohol makes people when they get drunk? No, wait, he doesn’t have the [Drunk] Status either… What’s even going on in here? He’s certainly not drunk then… What’s… with his Drugged status? Did he consume drugs?

I looked at the man rather worriedly, but Emeraldine was going to kick him again, but I stopped her, she looked at me with surprise, thinking I was going to just let her smack him again.

“W-Wait! Wait, Emeraldine, this guy is drugged… Let me inspect him a bit more…”

“Eh? What? O-Okay…” She said.

I looked at the man rather concerned, it was true, he was indeed drugged and looked quite terrible right now, he looked as if he was going through some extreme pain for some reason… Ah, well, my Emeraldine hit him quite hard.

I looked into his status and found what Drugged was…

—–

[Drugged]

The user has ingested a highly toxic man-made drug, which has caused a series of negative status effects. This status effect represents the user’s addiction to the drug.

Um, ok? It doesn’t say what drug is though! Uagh! Damn it, how can I get to find which drug is it though?! Tell me more, System! Analyze him!



The handsome voice of the system answered, he seemed quite concerned as well.

Huh… I guess we can’t really do much now, eh? Well, let’s leave him here…

“Emeraldine, he seems sick, can you heal him?” I wondered.

“I-I can try, but I wouldn’t really want to heal someone that just tried to assault me!” She complained.

“…True, well, let’s leave him to die or something, it’s not like I feel emotionally attached to the old man.” I said, leaving him to his own fate.

We walked slowly to the Inn, as Lucifer looked at me while raising an eyebrow… I couldn’t help but ask him why he was looking at me so angrily.

“What?”

“You showed to be worried but then just kind of dropped him into the ground?” He asked.

“Eh? I was only worried about the drug, not about the random old man!” I said.

“My Lady is like this; she doesn’t care about people.” Said Partner.

“I mean I know she’s not that empathic with random people unless they’re slaves or something, but still, your mentality sometimes is weird.” He said.

“Well yeah I died.” I said. “I am a bit crazy inside, my nature by itself is wicked but I try to not be wicked if possible. Remember the primary reason why ghosts are formed? We are made out of resentment… So… Well, I am kind of insane all the time, if I stop being like this, I might disappear for all we know.”

“Eeeh?! No, I don’t want you to disappear, Master!” Cried Partner, as she hugged me tightly.

“P-Partner, I am joking!” I sighed, as I petted her. “Calm down…”

“W-Well, if we put it into perspective, she got angry at him because he tried to stab me, Lucifer…” Sighed Emeraldine. “Also, we came here to help the duchy and the new Duchess… So that’s include that guy, leaving him there is the convenient thing to do, picking him up like we did with the slaves before is not convenient now that we plan to stay for some time in here, we are not in the move to carry poor people without the ability to do things yet… And honestly I don’t care about drunkards that assault women.”

“Okay, I get it, I am not defending that random guy either, so let’s calm down…” Sighed Lucifer. “I shouldn’t had even asked this stupid question… I know Maria is a good person, but being a good person doesn’t mean saving literally everybody, it is just trying to do what we can.”

“Yeah! Good thinking, I don’t really know what’s the definitive meaning of being “good” and I do have some wicked sides to me, but I honestly just try to be nice most of the time, since the beginning that I helped you when I could had just ignored you, remember?” I asked.

“Yes, I remember, or when you helped the goblins too…” Sighed Lucifer. “You’re indeed a good girl. You just have a strong bias against humans.”

“Yeah, I am a bit biased against humans but I am trying to overcome this…” I sighed. “I used to be one too, so I have to think that when I get too overly stupid.”

After the little discussion, we made our way into a simple Inn; we bought a room with two beds on it and we moved there. My Inventory was able to easily store things, another bed quickly came out, and then a last one from it, placing them in the room so everybody could sleep in a bed… And then we decided to rest until morning…
