Modern Women's Charm

Modern Women's Charm
Not a Savior


When Jean opened her eyes again, it was not the view of the dense forest that she saw, but the walled and wooden-roofed room.


Surprisingly, the walls, floors, and wooden roofs look very smooth without any connecting gaps. Jean slept on a bed made of soft white cotton-like material.


Jean tried to sit up, pain running through her shoulder, but not as much as before she fainted.


Upon seeing his shoulder, Jean found that if his wound had been bandaged, his shirt would no longer be worn. Now he only wears kemben with a brown cloth that he does not know the type of material.


Jean also smelled medicine from her mouth, it seemed like the person who saved her also bribed medicine when she was unconscious, no wonder if her mouth was bitter.


From the direction of his injured shoulder was smelled by the pungent smell of the plant, it seemed like the wound was also covered with medicine before it was bandaged.


His body felt light, but still weak. The proof is that he can only sit and is not strong enough to stand.


Jean could only observe the interior of the wooden room around her.


In the room there were not many items, only beds, round wooden tables as well as shelves and cabinets that seemed to merge with the wooden walls.


Seen round objects planted around the upper wooden wall, the round objects emit orange light like an ancient incandescent lamp in the world of Marrissa's origin.


There are many glass jars containing plants or dried grains on the shelf. Seen on the table there is also a wooden vase containing beautiful flowers, beside it there are also fresh plant leaves and tools such as pounders.


It seemed like the medicine to treat it was pounded directly using fresh leaves and medicinal plants on the table.


Jean recognized one type of Giju leaves are reddish yellow on the table.


The leaves were an expensive medicinal plant. Her mother's ointment used to be made from that plant. When his father was alive, he always brought Giju leaves when he came home from the forest.


Giju leaves are only obtained in the Deep Forest, it is also rarely found because Giju leaves are a favorite food of many animals, no wonder if the price is expensive.


But fortunately Jean's father was always able to bring home a bundle of Giju leaves.


This time, when she realized that her helper was willing to treat her with an expensive medicinal plant, Jean felt very grateful and indebted to her, but in the room there was no one but her.


It seems like the person who helped Jean is gone.


After a long sitting, Jean gathered energy to wake up. He took small walks looking at everything in the room, especially at dry objects in glass jars.


Jean had no idea what kind of vegetation was inside, so she was curious.


Jean's attention turned to the wooden walls in the room, from the beginning she wondered how anyone could connect such fine wood. There was no connecting gap at all, as if the wood was growing instantly to form the room.


When Jean touched the wooden wall in front of her, the wall was pushed forward, light bursting from the crack of the wall into Jean's face.


Jean was surprised, the wooden wall in front of him turned out to be a door.


The door was still slightly open, he pushed it once more and the wooden door opened completely.


"Slinging... Jeb" Jean is struck by an arrow that comes suddenly stuck right under the hand of Jean holding a wooden door.


Spontaneous Jean pulled back her hand.


"Man, you're awake already." A subtle voice sounded from outside the door.


Jean looked up, she saw the figure of a beautiful woman looking at her with a sinister face.


The woman in front of Jean looked different, other than her very pretty face, she had long silvery silver hair glistening with very tapered ears.


From the original Jean's memory, he had heard that the race that had long ears and silver hair was the Elf race that lived in the interior of the X forest.


From the first greeting the woman called Jean as Human, reinforcing Jean's assumption that the woman in front of her was not human but Elf race.


"Yes, um, did you save me?" Jean asked.


The female elf pulled out the arrow stuck on the edge of the door and closed the door, then she walked to the center of the room.


He leaned his bow next to the cupboard and put a basket of various fruits on the table.


Her elongated silver hair tied in a ponytail swayed along with her movements.


The female elf turned her head and replied, "It wasn't me who saved you."


"Who saved me?" Jean asked and walked over.


"You will soon know, eat these fruits, that your wounds may heal quickly." After saying that The elf woman took one purple colored fruit and put it into the pounding tool.


Jean smiled awkwardly, "Yes, even though you said you weren't my helper, but you allowed me to hitchhike in your house and eat the fruit you got, so I also considered me as my helper. I just want to yell..."


"Have eaten it, don't talk much, man is sickening." The Elf woman cut in with words.


"Eh, well thank you." Seeing the Elf woman in front of him so snug and dislike her existence, Jean took the dark yellow fruit flat like a plate and moved away sitting on the bed to eat it.


The Elf woman turned to Jean, her eyes like they wanted to kill.


"Don't you fuck that bed, or I'll kill you!"


John: "..."


He stood up from the bed and sat on the wooden floor. Previously he was sitting on the bed because there was no other seat, there was only one seat, yet it was near the Elf manita.


Since Jean was at the people's house, she simply nodded and smiled politely trying not to provoke the anger of the host.


Seeing Jean's behavior, the Elf woman drew her murderous gaze, she refocused on the objects in her hands.


"The cluk cluk.." The purple fruit was pounded with a mixture of plants on the table by the Elf woman.


Jean sat sweetly biting the strange fruit in her hand. His eyes widened, it turns out that the taste of the fruit is sweet sour very refreshing, it tastes like a mango but with a different smell.


After the fruit in Jean's hand ran out, the Elven woman thrust a wooden glass filled with purplish green liquid at him.


"Drink that."


Jean received the glass, "Thank you, is this medicine?"


"Hmm," Jean's question was answered with a light nod.


Knowing that, Jean happily drank the greenish liquid because medicine was a good and very expensive thing in this world.


"Right...." As he expected the taste of the medicine was extremely bitter.


Jean stood up trying to grab a fruit with mango flavor on the table, too bad her injured shoulder was squeezed by the female elf.


"After taking the medicine you can't eat or drink anything anymore." The Elf woman stopped Jean.


"A, aw... It hurts." Jean retreated, she held onto his shoulder with her face showing an expression of bitterness and pain, she stared confusedly at the actions of the Elf woman in front of her.


Now Jean believes that the Elf woman does not like him.
