Chapter 12

Funny enough, it was me who was surprised by her appearance, not her.

‘Brown hair?’

Her hair, tied up, was unmistakably of brown color.

I checked her eyes again.

Her eyes were grass-colored with a hint of yellow, and although not vivid, they were a color that fell into the category of green anyway.

It was a common eye color, but the moment brown hair and green eyes came together, it was no longer ordinary.

An ominous premonition passed through my mind.

“Are all the people working at the Magic Tower women?”

Perhaps the employees at the Magic Tower were not just employees.

“Oh, now that I think about it….”

“Do they all have brown hair and green eyes?”

“I’m not sure about that.”

Even to the unexpected question, Karen answered clearly and without any signs of surprise.

She soon straightened her updo and put on her hat, which had fallen to the floor.

In an instant, her brown hair disappeared.

“Do all the other maids wear that hat too?”

“No.”

Yes. I knew it. There was no way Aeon would have ordered everyone to cover those beautiful brown hairs.

“Then why Karen?”

“I just wore it because I wanted to give you a neat impression.”

I wanted to give a clean impression…. For some reason, I couldn’t hear those words clearly right away.

“Are there any crutches in the Magic Tower?”

“Crutches?”

“If not, please at least take me to the lab. I will try to make a suitable assistive device for myself.”

[Where are you going?]

Aeon’s voice came into my mind as he asked me this question.

“Don’t worry. Because I’m not trying to run away. I’m just curious about the people of the Magic Tower. Can you introduce me to them?”

Karen nodded at my words.

I haven’t met them yet, but I have a strong feeling that everyone here have brown hair and green eyes.

* * *

I left the room with the help of Karen as she acted like my crutches. My room was on the third floor.

Thanks to this, I was able to see people who were coming and going downstairs, at a glance.

‘…Ah.’

For a moment, I felt dizzy. It wasn’t like I felt scared at this height.

To begin with, I never had a fear of heights.

‘Was this the reason why the missing people could not be found? They were all driven into the magic tower.’

It was a terrible sight, but there was also a small gleaming hope in me.

Firstly because the probability that the missing people were alive rather than dead had increased.

Another thing was, that Aeon may have entered into a subordination contract with all of them.

I wasn’t exactly sure about how he read all his subordinate’s thoughts at a time.

In any case, looking into my own head and hearing my thoughts as well as managing the thoughts and work of dozens of people were two completely different levels of work.

His eyes aren’t just aimed at me.

I was able to feel a little at peace from this insignificant thought.

“Are you okay?”

“Yeah, I’m just a little tired.”

“Would you like to go back in?”

That couldn’t be possible. I had to check the huge trap that Aeon had created.

Only then would I be able to make a plan to get out of here.

“No, introduce me to the people like you said.”

Karen helped me move.

“This is Marilyn, the laundry person.”

“Please take care of me.”

Marylin’s eyes were green as she carried a large laundry basket. It was turquoise color mixed with blue.

And the color of the back of her hair, revealed under her hat, was also a reddish brown.

‘As expected…’

As I stared blankly at Marylin’s back, I heard another voice from below.

My heart was pounding so loudly.

“That’s Lottie, the cleaning lady.”

Her voluminous, curly hair is light brown. Her eyes were a perfect emerald green.

I was thus introduced to all the maids to whom I encountered. They all had brown hair and green eyes.

As I saw one person after another wearing the same uniform and the same hair color, I even got the illusion that there were clones walking around everywhere.

“This is the kitchen.”

Karen opened the large door on the first floor.

“The person sitting over there is the chef, Ena.”

Ena, who was resting on a chair, was just taking off her hood.

Her hair was light brown as well. I expected that from everyone here so far. Her somewhat fierce-looking eyes had pale green pupils.

“It’s almost dinner time. Would you mind waiting here for a bit?”

Karen asked as if her brief introduction session was over at this point.

“During meal times, do everyone in the tower gather in the restaurant?”

“All the maids gather together. But eating together with researchers and magic tower lord mainly depends on the situation and their schedule.”

I looked at the restaurant across from me. It was easy to imagine what the scenery would be like.

‘That would also be a spectacular to watch.’

This was the first time my heart raced like this before the dinner.
