Chapter 22 - Chapter 22. First Salary

After reading the paper, Ciko Joun's mind was filled with information about The Zero's ability:

Body Creation.

"This ability allows you to create an alternative body that can be entered."

Not only The Zero's ability—The Zero's memories also flowed into his head.

The memory from three years ago was…

The Zero giving Lamia a mission,

"Cause chaos in the city of Jormun."

"When the time comes, surrender yourself to Dontur."

The Zero continued,

"And you must act as if you have betrayed me."

Lamia asked,

"Why do I have to pretend to betray you?"

The Zero answered with a smile on his face,

"Because it'll be more fun if you play the role of a traitor."

......

That was The Zero's memory that Ciko Joun received.

Suddenly, Ciko Joun's head ached—he suspected that his real body had begun to wake up.

And his suspicion was correct.

Ciko Joun had returned to his real body. He woke up in his room after fainting earlier—inside Isabella's residence.

It turned out Ann was sitting there, waiting for Ciko Joun.

"Y-You're awake?"

"Yeah, I'm awake."

"Huff… you fainted for 7 minutes earlier."

Ann was relieved that Ciko Joun was fine.

Ciko Joun looked at Ann's face, focusing on her eyes.

"You're not blind anymore?"

"Yup."

Isabella entered Ciko Joun's room.

"Well, well, you're awake?"

She brought a paper filled with money for Ciko Joun.

The paper contained 20 shillings.

1 shilling was equal to 12 pence in this world.

Bread usually cost around 1–3 pence, so Ciko Joun's salary was huge when converted to pence.

"HAHAHAHAHAHA!"

"FINALLY, I GOT PAID!"
