The Goddess Made A Mistake Again-Chapter 62 - Like A Rice Bag

"Can you get up?"

Alice nodded and tried getting up but fell. I was quick on my feet and catch her by the waist. I look into those dark purple eyes, which felt like mystery themselves.

"I suppose that’s a no then, hold on."

"Aanh!"

Before she could understand what I meant I lift her up and put her on my shoulder, like a rice bag.

Alice didn’t think that I would carry her myself and that fact that I did this way made it even more weird for her and made her shy.

"You okay back there?"

"Ye- Yes… I think I can walk if- if I tried." She said but I dismissed her.

"With how you fell just now, it would be best if you don’t try to do anything by yourself for a while."

Before she could say anything else, I took her up the stairs and back to the store.

Alice didn’t think that she would ever see light again. After the long time she spent in darkness and pain, she thought that it was it for her. That the darkness was her home and her final place.

But now that she finally spots a ray of light through the glass window, it made her feel pain.

Being so long in the darkness, her body and eyes had not only adapted to it but they succumbed to it, so seeing so much light so soon had a bad effect on her.

Alice shielded her eyes with her hand but it burned. As she tried to protect herself, a large robe made of leather covered her and made her feel warm and secure.

"I should have already seen this." Alice heard the heavy voice that bought her, speak, "Being at that disgusting place for so long should have had an effect on you. Next time, I’ll try to be more careful."

Try to be careful? For me? But why?

I thought you bought me to use me… so why are you caring for me?

Or is this just an illusion that will break into a nightmare.

"Ring!" "Ring!"

She heard a ring before chatters of many people resounded around her. Many people talked as if they were walking around her. She understood that they were on the street.

"What is that?"

"Why is he carrying something like that?"

"Do you think there’s a person in there?"

"Could be, with how large it is, there’s definitely a person in there."

Hearing this, she felt that she might cause trouble for the person who bought her. She didn’t know what to do… should she scream so people could come to help her or should she succumb to silence and go wherever this person takes her?

In the end, she couldn’t decide on anything.

"Wooh!"

"Yah!" "Yah!"

Alice heard the sound of a horse and a man trying to stop a horse and then heard the same heavy voice.

"Hey! I want to go to a hotel."

A hotel? Is he taking me to a hotel… to do those things?

"Si- Sir, I don’t think I can-" A young voice, maybe the rider spoke but then I heard a jingling sound.

"Ring!" "Ting!"

"I just want to go to a hotel."

"…Alright."

N-No… he’s going to rape m-

Before Alice could think anymore, her whole body jerked and moved before she felt herself drop on to something comfy. Then the robe covering her was pulled off.

Alice felt the light hit her again, but this time it was soft and small. Enough for her to adjust her eyes to it. As soon as her eyes could see clear enough, Alice looked around her.

It looked like she was inside a box, there was a seat in front of her where the fat guy sat and she too sat on one of those seat. They were inside a carriage.

The fat guy looked outside the window where a small group of people had gathered, mainly because of them but none of them dared to come and do anything.

That was because of this guy’s presence. She felt it, the heavy presence of the guy as he looked at them with unspoken anger, ready to unleash if they came towards them.

Then he looked back at me and they changed instantly. It was the same eyes, she was sure, but instead of anger or lust, he looked at her with pity.

"Can you see clearly?" He spoke gently.

When he spoke to others it was rough, almost as if ordering them to do his bidding but he was patient and soft with her. As if she needed the most gently care.

She did, but who is he to help her… she was sure she never saw someone like him before. But maybe he…

"Yes" She said, her voice yet cracked.

Seeing her again, I noticed how malnourished she was and hungry.

"Do you have any relatives?" I asked but her expression darkened a bit and she slowly shook.

"If you have any distant relatives or anyone who cares about you then you can write a letter to them and I will send it."

"The- There’s no one… they killed them all." She said and her body shook in sorrow as tears fell.

"I’m sorry."

...

After that, I didn’t think it would be right to ask any questions, so I left them for later and let her cry as we arrived at the hotel.

"We’re here, can you walk or-"

"I-I think can." She responded quickly.

Maybe I should have carried her in a princess carry, back then.

"Still, let me get out first and help you." I get out of the carriage and hold my hand out to her. She looked at my deeply before taking it and we both walked inside the hotel.

"Good morning, how can I help yo-"

"It’s you, sir!"

The receptionist who was lazily counting money looked at me and quickly came before me.

"Bring a few buckets of warm water and make some food," I took another glance at Alice, "A lot of food, quick."

"Yes, sir."

I bring Alice towards my room and knock on it.

’This is going to be awkward.’

"Welcome back, Maste-" Anna who opened it, looked at the new person beside me and gazed back at me suspiciously.
