The SSS-rank Guide Doesn't Need Saving novel Chapter 74

Chapter 74: Visions

To think a color would mean something in this world...

She hadn’t expected it at all.

Back where she came from, red was just a color. Some might put meaning in it, but mostly it’s for festivities... And... ah, there was another event in her world where people would wear red.

Valentine’s Day.

Aisha almost rolled her eyes when she remembered it. It wasn’t that she purposely forgot it. It was just that before she could even experience why that day should even be celebrated before the world turned upside down.

In this world, it also had a similar meaning. Though it announced something to the entire planet the second she walked out of her room. Welcoming new love. That she was open to being courted, the moment her engagement to Soren was dissolved.

She frowned faintly.

However, she filed it away as she thought that there was no way someone would be crazy enough to pursue her the next second that Prince Soren breaks off their engagement. But then she reasoned it with herself that there was no way someone would be crazy enough to pursue her the next second her engagement was called off with the prince. And most importantly, what mattered to her the most was that she had no interest in love or even falling in love. She had yet fully adapted in this world and she’d rather discover more things about herself and the world she’s in, when would she even have the time to pursue love at all?

Besides, her reputation was in tatters.

Even if some fool did get any ideas, he’d have to be either extremely brave or extremely stupid.

And most importantly, she had no interest in any of it.

Love, courting, whatever these people called it. She hadn’t even finished figuring out how to survive in this world, let alone chase after some man’s affections. Where exactly was she supposed to fit in time for romance?

Thinking like this, she calmed down.

"You look wonderful, Miss," Daisy said. She circled Aisha once more, tugging lightly at the hem of the sleeve. "Whoever sent this to you knows exactly how exquisite you’d look in it."

"Don’t start on that again," Aisha said. "We still don’t know who it was."

And the thought that they knew exactly her measurements made her even more suspicious. Who could it possibly be?

If they knew her measurements like this, there was no way they could be a normal person.

She’d never anticipated having a stalker in this life.

"I know, I know. But look at you." Daisy sighed happily, as if she’d personally forgotten the mystery entirely in favor of admiring the finished result.

Aisha smoothed her skirt and continued walking down.

Zenick was waiting at the bottom of the stairs, one hand tucked into his coat pocket. When he saw her come down, he actually took a step back, squinting at her.

"Hold on," he said. "Where’s my sister? Daisy, have you seen my younger sister?"

Daisy smiled right away at his teasing.

Aisha rolled her eyes, but she couldn’t help the smile tugging at her lips. "Very funny."

"No, I’m serious. My sister isn’t this beautiful. Did you swap her out overnight?"

Aisha’s lips twitched as Zenick had been just this close to the truth, and so she couldn’t stop herself from saying, "She died, and what you’re looking at is just a shell of her, fully dressed up."

It was meant as a joke. Half of it, anyway. The other half was closer to the truth that no one has to know.

She’d expected them to laugh or giggle back at her joke, but their reaction was slightly off.

Zenick’s easy expression dropped instantly. And Daisy, who was standing off to the side with a shawl draped over her arm, went rigid.

Aisha blinked at the two of them. "Why are you both so tense? I was joking."

Did they actually believe her?
