Reincarnation Sim Game

“Aah, I haven’t done those moves in a long time.” Olga stretched her arms on the chair in her room. “Lately, I’m just baking and baking and baking waffles.”

As for Elise, she was relieved the commotion earlier didn’t get any bigger. Also, she only needed to wear those embarrassing clothes for one more day.

“Ah, I almost forgot. Here.” Olga put an envelope on the table.

“Eh?” Elise opened her mouth for a few seconds. “What’s this?”

“That’s your payment.” The red-haired woman took a sip of her wine. “You’ve worked hard to help me. You deserve it.”

Elise grimaced and pushed the envelope back to Olga. “Thank you, but I can’t accept this. I’m sorry.”

“I insist.” Olga pushed the envelope at the female warrior again. “You have sacrificed a lot by selling food wearing only an apron and panties in front of many people.”

“I really can’t accept this.” For the second time, Elise returned the envelope to the red-haired woman. “I don’t think this money will be of any use where I come from.”

“What do you mean?”

“You can use the money later for other missions, Elise,” Raymund explained. “So, take it.”

Elise froze for a moment, then took the money back. With a slightly flushed face, she said, “Thank you.”

The female warrior’s strange behavior triggered a small chuckle from Olga. She took another sip of her wine, then sighed. “After today, I’m sure they will come back to buy my waffles, even though you’re gone. So, we can say our deal is done. I’ll tell you about myself first.”

Olga finished her wine, then looked at Elise, who just froze and blinked.

“A long time ago, I belonged to someone.” A bitter smile formed on Olga’s lips. “From infancy, I was taken by someone… Or rather an organization. However, this organization is not some kind of orphanage that takes care of abandoned children. They are far from that. They are an organization that trains assassins.”

Those words made Elise’s body feel like it was electrified. “So, before this…. Sorry, I ask this…. Have you killed a lot of people?”

Olga nodded. “That’s right. I’ve killed a lot of people.”

“T-then those injuries of yours?”

“You’re surprised, right? Why do I get so many scars like this?” Olga flashed a faint smile. “With healing magic, a wound can disappear without a trace.”

“I had a chat with Anja. If a wound is left untreated for too long, it will be difficult to really heal by magic.” Raymund explained.

“One of the worst is, I was once left hanging somewhere with multiple injuries but was kept alive by some technique.” Olga shrugged.

Elise felt like her heart was going to explode after hearing that. And she couldn’t speak because of it.

The red-haired woman widened her smile. “Being an assassin doesn’t mean just going to the victims, killing them, and leaving. We also served on recon missions, infiltration, theft, and so on. Well, not all missions went smoothly. Sometimes, I was caught and tortured. They wanted to get information from me.”

“B-but in the end, you were saved, right!?”

Olga laughed. “Saved by who? That organization doesn’t care about my safety! They will let whoever is caught! I had to free myself, and I’m still going back to them! Yeah, I was so stupid, but at that time, I had no place to return to but the organization. What’s worse is, they will punish me again for failing the mission.”

Olga caught her breath which was starting to run wild. Elise could only stare down with a trembling body. The female warrior did not expect Olga’s story to be this terrible.

Before leaving the organization, Olga was only considered a tool that could be thrown away.

“Long story short, I can’t stand that organization anymore.” Olga rubbed her face.

“Because of the torment, you got from the missions and them?”

The waffle seller shook her head. “Yeah, that’s one of the reasons. But there’s something else that makes me want to be truly free. The thing is, I’ve killed too many, Elise. I’m not something that won’t feel guilty if I kill people. They are living beings and have a conscience like me. Even though the organization trained me to kill my empathy, I could never do it.”

For the second time, Olga caught her breath. Apparently, that story was so emotional for her. Elise wanted Olga to stop telling stories if the waffle seller was uneasy. However, Raymund still asked Elise to listen.

“And finally, one day, it happened… I was assigned to kill a child…” Olga covered her eyes with her hands. Her tears started to flow. “And the reason is very trivial. The one who made the request was a business rival of the child’s father. That rival wanted to give a message so that the child’s father would not interfere with their business…. Imagine, Elise…. Just because of a business feud, a five-year-old child dead.”

Elise also couldn’t hold back her tears anymore. “So, after that, you decided to stop?”

“Aah, not yet.” Olga shook her head again. Her voice turned hoarse. “That time, I did something unusual. I didn’t run away immediately after killing my victim. I stood still, staring at the bloodied corpse of a little boy.”

The red-haired woman takes a deep breath. “And then the boy’s father came in, immediately hugged and called out to his son. At that time, I was still frozen… I remembered the prospective assassins in the organization. They are still very young. As their senior, I occasionally took care of and trained them…. I imagined them had the fate of the child I killed.”

Elise couldn’t help but gulp when Olga went silent. The female warrior felt as if she was waiting for an announcement that would change her life.

The waffle seller lowered her head. “However, the boy’s father didn’t blame me. He took pity on me… Can you guess what he said to me?”
