Chapter 24: Ch. 12.2
After the family's downfall, Eisel had to live a life far detached from her opulent past. She had lost everything in a span of few months.
She was looking through the price tags of old books at the bookstore because she, who used to cut steaks for every meal, did not have enough money to buy a proper book.
Furthermore, even in the original novel, she had a tragic ending. Much less, in this world where Edna had taken over the role of the protagonist, she was doomed to die before she even reached a tragic end.
In the end, this woman would be unhappy for the rest of her life and would perish before everyone's eyes.
'Eh, I don't know.'
As I chose the books I wanted at the bookstore, more than ten books had piled up.
I placed them on the countertop! The old man opened his eyes in surprise when I put them up.
What? Despite his closed eyes, I could feel his gaze all the time.
"What is it... How did you bring it?"
"I used my strength."
Looking to the side, Eisel kept her distance and with narrowed eyes. She carefully examined the textbooks I had chosen.
