[Wake up!]

Black Rabbit flipped through the notebook again and wrote something. The scratching sound was like a lullaby.

It was a very familiar sound to Serena, who always slept in the lab.

Black Rabbit tilted its head slightly, as if pondering for a moment.

Black Rabbit wrote again with a scratching sound. Serena didn’t wake up. This time, it lay down and drew a picture. Still, she didn’t wake up.

An hour passed, then two hours.

The doll, which had been rolling here and there and hopping around the room, now felt angry at Serena who wouldn’t wake up.

The doll was now angry.

It stomped the floor with its cotton hind legs. But that didn’t relieve its frustration.

So it went under the bed, all the way to the end, and ran vigorously.

Then it jumped high right under the bed.

Poof–!

The cotton doll soared high into the air and attempted a flying kick towards Serena.

At the same moment, Serena’s eyes flew open.

She then precisely grabbed the doll’s body and jerked her head up. Her shiny eyes darted around, looking as if they would devour everything in sight.

The doll flinched in fear and flailed its arms.

“…A doll?”

Serena looked at the doll with somewhat softened eyes.

She rubbed her eyelids with the back of her hand.

“What… I thought it was a pen or a report…”

She yawned and tossed the doll onto the bed.

Finally, she’s awake!

The doll quickly started writing in the notebook.

If it doesn’t seize this opportunity now, who knows when she’ll sleep again.

In fact, Serena was already thinking about going back to sleep.

Scratch scratch scratch.

The rabbit, having written in almost illegible handwriting, suddenly lifted its head.

It was just when Serena was about to lie down again, still not fully rested…

A notebook was thrust in front of her face.

[Congratulations, the World Tree has chosen you.]

Serena, half-lying down, looked at the rabbit holding out the notebook, then at the notebook, then back at the rabbit.

“I’m not joining any religion.”

It seems even religious recruitment is done creatively in fantasy worlds.

She lay back down.

The doll made a shocked expression and wrote something else, thrusting the notebook in front of her face again.

[ㅇ▽ㅇ!!!!]

Serena was somewhat annoyed.

She knows well that there is no god.

Because god has never once granted her wish to kill the professors.

Because god scammed the people who bought gold tickets.

The destination of the gold ticket was neither a chocolate factory nor heaven, but an express train to hell.

[You must listen!]

The doll hopped up and down.

Serena yawned.

She didn’t want to move for anything that wasn’t beneficial to her.

World Tree?

She doesn’t need such a thing.

Because it won’t make her happy.

Only two things make her happy.

Money. Money. Money.

And a world without professors.

Surprisingly, she has already achieved one of these.

There are no professors in this world.

Now all that’s left is money.

She had thought of a method.

For the past 10 years, Serena had worked under Lemerun. Lemerun was an excellent pharmacist, alchemist, and mage.

Even a genius becomes annoying when they’re that talented.

Yes, Lemerun was annoying too.

She decided to use alchemy to make and sell medicine.

She was wondering what to sell when she met Magnus to sign the contract, and suddenly had an inspiration.

Magnus gave Serena an idea.

‘Hair loss treatment!’

That’s what will fill Serena’s pockets.

‘Even high-ranking nobles suffer from hair loss…’

This is going to make money.

Serena had an incredible talent for smelling money.

She will manufacture the medicine with alchemy and provide the concentrate.

The actual operator will dilute it and take care of the rest, including the promotion, distribution, and sales.

That’s right.

Serena will live as a figurehead, spending money lavishly.

Pop pop pop–

The black rabbit doll hopped and held out the notebook in front of Serena.

[Congratulations, lastly, you have acquired a cute, lovable, and very smart rabbit doll.]

The color and thickness of the pencil that had crossed out the front part were different from the writing in the notebook, suggesting it was prepared in advance.

‘Why did it erase that?’

Serena thought the doll that had erased the crossed-out part at the beginning seemed to be on the verge of tears.

[Please listen!]

The rabbit hops.

Whatever, thought the unmotivated Serena as she turned her back on the rabbit and lay down.

[You must listen!]

The rabbit, now on the other side, thrusts out the notebook with hastily written text again.

[Please listen… please…]

The rabbit now looks like it’s about to cry.

Serena looked down at the rabbit for a moment and then sighed.

Maybe I’ll just listen, she thought as she was about to get up.

[Please save the world!]

The rabbit held out the notebook.

“What a load of bullshit.”

She grabbed the rabbit without hesitation and threw it out the window, then closed the window.

Serena shook her head, remembering that she hadn’t even saved her own life yet, let alone the world.

She locked the door and closed her eyes again.

Despite having slept for a whole week, she quickly fell asleep again as if making up for lost time.

She was happy.

* * *

“A spirit?”

At Serena’s question, the rabbit, pitifully hugging the notebook to its chest, stood at the edge of the bed, trembling and nodding its head.

Although it had no expression due to its button eyes and thread mouth, Serena somehow thought this black rabbit doll was on the verge of tears.

Of course, that part wasn’t Serena’s concern.

‘So this was a spirit?’

Serena examined the doll from various angles.

When one thinks of ‘spirits’, what comes to mind are palm-sized, cute, round things, but here it seems to be a doll.

‘A spirit of dolls, perhaps.’

Thinking this, Serena rubbed her cheek.

She was shocked this morning.

The feeling when she saw the rabbit doll she had thrown out the window yesterday trembling in front of the window this morning, holding a notebook that said [Please save me.] and knocking on the door.

Even Serena, who had long since abandoned her conscience, felt a prick in one corner of her heart.

‘…I was still human after all.’

Moved by the fact that her humanity was still alive, Serena specially opened the window and allowed the black rabbit doll to enter.

‘I can at least listen to what it has to say.’

She thought generously.

Of course, if it was about saving the world, she was fully prepared to throw it out again.

‘Savior of the world?’

Serena would rather save her own gloomy life.

After pondering for a moment, she decided to make things clear and opened her mouth.

“Let me tell you in advance, I want to live as human trash who stays cooped up in a room, lying in bed for 23 out of 24 hours a day, eating sweet, salty, and spicy things, rolling around reading trashy novels, and being true to my desires and urges, thoroughly abusing my body. Of course, I should have no illnesses despite living like that, and I need a steady passive income. I should be a famous rich person whose name everyone knows, but above all, I don’t want anyone to know that I’m that rich person. — Like ‘I look like an unemployed trash on the outside, but actually I’m the world’s number one millionaire?!’ That’s my life goal. So, something like being the savior of the world with a hero title stuck on my forehead is a bit…”

[……?]

“I want to live life the easy way.”

[……]

The rabbit doll seemed to be at a loss for words at Serena’s extremely selfish and greedy statement, holding up a notebook with just a period written on it.

I really thought it had turned into a doll.

[P-please make a contract.]

The doll flipped the notebook and pleaded.

Serena, again, did not want to become the savior of the world.

“The Crown Princess likes that kind of thing.”

She said with a face that had lost interest.

[There will be a reward if you complete the mission!]

“I have my own ways to make money.”

And plenty of them.

After all, the only thing she learned while being pushed around by Professor Lemerun was that alchemy could be applied to a wide variety of fields.

And the level of alchemy in the world where Professor Lemerun was far surpassed that of this <Lucky Saintess> whatever world.

[F-foreigner, you can also return to your original world!!]

Serena was startled by the rabbit doll’s words.

She looked at the rabbit doll with a face that had turned pale white.

The black rabbit doll felt proud, thinking it had finally offered a reward that touched her heart.

So it quickly wrote more.

[Of course, since we’re sending you back to the moment of the accident, you won’t have aged or the era won’t have changed, so it will be easy to adapt!]

As it added a more detailed explanation, Serena’s eyes were now as wide as they could be.

Thud–!

The black rabbit doll, which had been waiting for Serena’s answer with a somewhat proud feeling, suddenly sensed something strange.

Its view had suddenly flipped upside down.
