I Don’t Believe in Ghosts, But I Make a Living Through Exorcism! Episode 141

On the last day before the week Harman had mentioned, I couldn’t sleep at night.

‘When will he come?’

I was so excited that I couldn’t sleep properly and just stared out the window. Until night fell and the sky grew faintly bright.

Like that, dawn passed, morning passed, and it became twelve in the afternoon.

“Miss, please have your meal!”

“Mmm, okay.”

I rubbed my eyelids. My eyes were too dry from staring out the window since dawn.

‘Harman said he’d come during dinner time, but…’

Even though I knew that, I couldn’t help but keep worrying about it. I wanted to meet him even a little sooner and confirm he was safe.

Since I got in the carriage returning from the Monteville Ducal Estate yesterday, my rapidly beating heart showed no signs of slowing down.

To the point where I wondered if I should suspect arrhythmia.

‘He said he’d come when everything was finished.’

If things go well, he might come before dinner.

I unnecessarily put my hand in my pocket and fiddled with the round object.

I had temporarily put it in my pocket because there wasn’t enough space on the reception room table at the Duke’s estate due to the constantly increasing desserts.

I had completely forgotten to return it and brought it with me again.

‘But thanks to that, I feel a bit less nervous.’

At this point, should I call this my attachment…

What should I call it?

Attachment magic stone? Something like that, I guess.

I barely ate lunch, just picking at it, then returned to my room.

The time of waiting while looking out the window for when Harman would come began again.

Fiddling with the attachment magic stone, watching Bokdeungi who had approached at some point licking the magic stone…

3 o’clock, 5 o’clock, 6 o’clock.

Eventually, it became time for dinner.

However, Harman did not appear.

“Miss, perhaps you should have dinner first…”

“No. Let me wait just a little longer.”

Bella and Emily took turns coming to try to persuade me. But this was a promise I had made with Harman.

I continued to postpone the meal.

Until it became dark outside and I could no longer see with the naked eye what was passing by the window.

Instead, something else arrived.

Bella, who had gone out after hearing a knock, returned with a puzzled expression.

“Miss, a letter has arrived?”

“A letter?”

Could it be from Harman?

I stopped staring intently at the empty view outside the window and hurriedly ran over.

But the letter was not in a blue envelope.

‘Is it an exorcism request?’

It probably was. Just in case, I was still asking the guild to advertise for me.

Being a rich unemployed person was nice, but still, idly resting didn’t suit my temperament.

However, right now I was disappointed.

‘It’s not a letter from Harman.’

I slowly tore open the envelope while feeling completely dejected.

‘Huh?’

But the name written on the envelope seemed familiar somehow.

I belatedly checked the back of the envelope. The sender was someone I never expected.

‘…The healer?’

When Bokdeungi was sick all day, no. To be precise, when I thought he was sick.

It was a letter from the healer at the hospital that treated animals with holy power, whom I had visited with Bokdeungi as a last hope.

I had asked him to at least send a letter if he thought of any treatment methods.

‘Isn’t this too out of the blue right now?’

I had safely received a refund and Bokdeungi had no problems since then.

Surely he’s not asking for the money back now?

I was already distracted because of Harman, and I didn’t want to be bothered by other matters.

I read it with narrowed eyes.

[I wondered if it was right to inform you, but I felt I should tell you, so I’m sending this letter.

When I examined Bokdeungi before, I told you he wasn’t physically ill.

Bokdeungi’s soul that I confirmed then was in a form I had never seen before.

It seemed to be a soul problem, so I looked into it carefully and was able to find an identical case.

In conclusion, there are two souls inside Bokdeungi’s body.]

‘What does that mean?’

I looked at Bokdeungi who was lying down quietly beside me, asleep.

‘…He’s just a puppy.’

A pretty smart one who seems to understand human speech and is quite clever…

But the truly bewildering events were just beginning.

Someone knocked on the main gate.

“Miss, another letter has arrived?”

Bella, who had been looking toward the main gate, turned around looking dazed.

“At this time of night?”

“Yes. It seems to be… an exorcism request.”

This time it’s really an exorcism request?

But when Bella returned from going to the main gate, her arms were full of letters.

Not only that, but with slight exaggeration, letters arrived every 5 minutes.

When letters piled up in one corner of the room, Bokdeungi, who had been sleeping quietly, suddenly got up and barked frantically while looking at the pile of letters.

I felt an eerie sensation. I urgently tore open a letter.

[A ghost has appeared in my estate! Not just me, but all the servants have witnessed it!]

[Exorcist, about the request I canceled before. Could I possibly make a reservation again? A ghost has appeared.]

[Miss Siena, do you remember meeting at our tea party?

I’m sorry I couldn’t greet you properly at the banquet because it was so hectic.

Right now, there’s a ghost wandering around the garden so I can’t go outside. Please help me.]

[What is the meaning of this? You said you had performed the exorcism! Then why can I see ghosts?]

[Exorcist, there’s a ghost in the shop…]

[Ghosts are wandering around the street. Please come and…]

Each time I tore open and read through a letter, Bokdeungi barked non-stop beside me.

As if traces of ghosts remained on all the letters I had read.

Thud, the last letter I had torn open fell helplessly. The floor was already full of opened letters.

‘The ghosts all disappeared, didn’t they?’

Why are they suddenly appearing again?

The person who sent the letter saying ghosts were wandering the streets was even the guild master I had entrusted with exorcism advertising.

From the letter contents, it seemed like more than just one or two people were seeing ghosts right now.

‘This is driving me crazy.’

Of all days, today when everything was supposed to be finished, Harman didn’t appear and ghosts were running rampant.

‘Something’s wrong.’

Harman said being able to see ghosts was an ability, so why were ordinary people all sending letters saying they could see ghosts?

My hands trembled slightly. I took a breath and skimmed through the remaining letters I hadn’t read yet.

[Miss Siena, this is terrible.

Ghosts are wandering around in front of Count Helkene’s estate. I don’t even know if this letter will arrive properly.]

Rudian’s letter, written as calmly as possible but with unusually crooked handwriting, and.

[Siena, please help!!! A ghost has appeared!!!]

Grace’s letter, rarely showing signs of panic.

‘What on earth is this…’

I don’t even know how many letters came in total, and I don’t know what to do about it either.

I ran my hand through my hair in confusion. Meanwhile, someone knocked on the main gate again.

This was at least the fifth time Bella had gone out to get letters.

“Kyaaah!”

A piercing scream came from outside.

“Bella? What’s wrong!”

I threw down the letter I was reading and ran toward the main gate.

I heard barking sounds, and before I knew it, Bokdeungi was running alongside me.

‘Why did Bokdeungi follow me out?’

I looked at Bokdeungi with puzzlement, then turned my head forward.

‘…’

My steps gradually slowed down.

I stared blankly at the empty air.

Yes, not at Bella, but at the empty air near Bella.

【Screech- Creak- Screech-】

Strange things were surrounding Bella and the guild member who had brought the letter.

‘…They’re ghosts.’

I could tell without anyone explaining it to me.

Eyes with no focus and faces completely drained of color.

Those things floating in the empty air while twisting their heads in eerie ways—what else could they be but ghosts?
