Chapter 83 Did You Blackmail Her? (1/2)

Inna's gaze immediately shot towards the direction of the voice and her eyes met the top of a girl's head.

The girl slowly looked up and when she saw Inna looking, she immediately turned red and quickly lowered her head. But then, after a few moments, the girl realized what she just said. Her body turned cold as her face paled while showing an expression of pure horror.

”Ah..uh… I…I'm…. S-s-s-s-s-sor-r-r-rry! I-i-i-i d-d-didn't m-m-m-me-e-e-a-a-n…”

She stuttered heavily as she wrung her shaking hands together.

Inna furrowed her brows, trying to understand why the girl's reaction was like she was deathly afraid of her.

”What's your name?”

She asked the girl with a soft tone but the girl jumped slightly after hearing Inna speak.

”I…..I….I'm….. M....M-M-May….”

”Last name?”

May slightly looked up to peek at Inna through her eyelashes before quickly lowering it down.

”I...C-c-comm…..moner….”

Ah… Just like Raghnall…

It must be a rule in their society not to give out last names unless they're nobility.

Inna slowly made her way to May, her shoes making soft thudding noises that strangely matches May's thundering heartbeat in her chest.

”Well, hello May. Nice to meet you.”

Inna held out a hand for May to shake but after a few seconds, May still kept her head lowered and her hands wringed. Seeing her current state, Inna decided to just let it slide and lamely lowered her outstretched hand.

”Hey, no need to be so afraid. I won't hurt you.”

Inna decided to appease the meek girl but over the distance, she heard a faint snort.

”Yea right. Says the girl who just broke someone's arm with a single twist for no reason.”

She glared at the direction of the voice and she saw that scrawny guy raising an eyebrow as if challenging her to prove he was wrong.

Inna ignored him and instead, focused on the girl in front of her.

”Hey, don't believe that guy. He's inhaling drugs so better keep away from him.” She said as she referred to the guy's thin body and sunken cheeks.

May didn't seem to hear her as she clenched her intertwined hands.

After a few seconds of trying to encourage herself, May slowly raised her head. Her long jet black hair covered a part of her face but despite that, Inna can clearly see her childish looking face and the cute doe brown eyes that was slightly slanted by the ends. In addition to her being a bit on the shorter stature and her weird habits, Inna felt as though she's looking at a lost child.

”I…uhm…. I wanted to… answer… 2nd…but…. You suddenly…. Fat… fast… It…. Seem… You…. Fat…”

She said in phrases but Inna understood her immediately.

So she was supposed to say 'yes' to waiting for that weird guy but I asked the other question too fast.

Inna chuckled as she slowly reached out and patted her head.

May flinched at first, but after a few pats, she became like a cat as she started raising her head to be petted more.

Suddenly having found courage, May bravely looked straight at Inna.

”H-have we met before?”

Inna froze as blinked furiously.

Girl, don't ask me that.

I don't have this body's memories!

How the hell am I supposed to know?!

Maintaining her composure, she smiled slightly.

”Well, probably.”

She said ambiguously as she decided to quickly change the topic.

”Ah! I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Ingrid L--”
