Chapter 105 – Slowly, but a Little Suddenly (4)
After many twists and turns, Theorard took the elf and boarded the wagon.
As I said before, it was because I was planning to go to the county square and treat myself to snow.
The problem is that I don’t know what to spend the time talking about until I get to the plaza.
“…….”
“…….”
The two sat on the edge of the seat with their buttocks glued to each other, staring at each other.
In the case of the elf, he glanced at Theorard while chewing on the snacks provided in the carriage, and Theorard brought a small book of poetry and pretended to be absorbed in reading.
But, of course, there was no way the words in the book caught my eye.
Rumbling, rattling—
The sound of the wheels of the wagon being caught on the stone can be heard exceptionally loud today. Theorard, who had been staring at the same page for nearly ten minutes, felt a sense of crisis and closed the book.
It wasn’t that the elf didn’t notice to do anything, but it was because there were a few times when the silence flowed in a good direction, judging from the experience so far.
“You.”
Theo Rad turned his head and frowned at him as if looking at something different.
“Cheeky bitch. How long do you think you’ll be eating sweets like a pig?”
“It’s not like that.”
“Ah, yes.”
I was used to selling, and I put harsh words in my mouth without realizing it. For just one day, she forgot that she had to treat elves like Esily.
Theorard coughed in embarrassment and stared at the elf again. But I can’t figure out how to open my mouth.
He said he would try to be treated like Essilly, but Theo Rad couldn’t think of the elf like Essily.
However, as long as a verbal contract has been entered into between the parties, the contents of the contract must be fulfilled. The penalty that Theorard will receive if he fails to fulfill the contract is a debt of conscience…… !
When he was slapped on the cheek, he could n’t say that he could n’t do it because the face of the elf who was wronged seemed to shimmer in front of his eyes.
‘Can do. No, you have to. Wake up, Theorad!’
In return for being forgiven, a day’s role play is cheap. Theorard, who had made up his mind several times in his heart his, smiled.
“Do you like sweets?”
“I don’t hate it.”
“Then you might like candy too.”
As if a mutual interest had been reached, Theo Rad pulled out a wrapped candy from his bosom and held it up. A picture of a melon was drawn on the outside of the wrapping paper.
Theorard held out the candy to the elf with an innocent face.
“It is a very sweet and delicious candy. You will definitely like it.”
“Is that so.”
Why are you giving me candy all of a sudden? Puzzled, the elf took the candy and looked up at Theorard with a sudden thought.
“By the way, did your master enjoy eating candy? I don’t think I’ve ever seen him eat candy.”
“That’s because the chief servant didn’t let me eat because my teeth were damaged. After becoming the family head, I was able to use my power to eat whatever I wanted, but I didn’t eat it often because I was aware of it. I do eat secretly from time to time.”
“Authority…… What?”
What kind of life did Theorad, who speaks of power with just one candy, lead? Even being good is a disease. The elf, who had been looking at Theorard rather plaintively, tore off the wrapping paper and put the candy into his mouth.
Rolling around – As you roll the candy with your tongue, the sweet yet soft taste spreads throughout your mouth. It definitely tasted good.
The elf, who had been savoring the taste for a while, was about to evaluate the candy.
Rumbling-
The wheels of the wagon came to a stop with a scraping sound on the road.
“You have arrived.”
After confirming that they had arrived near the square, Theorard was naturally adjusting his clothes, and the coachman opened the door and bowed his head politely.
“My lord! As you told me yesterday, I stopped in front of the Golden Chicken clothing store.”
A gold clothing store? Didn’t you come here to have an eye candy after dinner? Hearing it for the first time, the elf tilted his head, but Theorard ordered the coachman with a calm face.
“Thank you. I will get off with my slave, so let the carriage stop again on the outskirts of the plaza.”
“I will take your word.”
The coachman, who answered politely, moved out of the way, and Theorard stepped out of the carriage with a dignified gait.
Afterwards, the elf who got off the carriage raised his head beside Theorad.
[Golden Clothing Store]
Underneath the large letters written on the colorful signboard, the phrase ‘pet products & women’s clothing specialty store’ was written in small letters.
‘No way.’
The elf looked at him as if he were serious, and Theorard smiled generously.
“You only have one maid outfit. It would be nice to have some extra clothes to wear.”
“…… I don’t need clothes or anything.”
“Then what about jewelry? They also handle some accessories here, so there should be at least one you like.”
“Master…”
I can understand Theorard’s intentions his, but there’s no way I like it. Originally, she did not like to be extravagant, but as she lived for so many years, her lust for money has almost disappeared.
She’d rather wander around the square, but she didn’t show it. Because I decided to follow Theorard’s decision today.
“…… Like.”
She does n’t seem to like it because of her bland accent her. Theorard was started, but she had come this far and there was no going back.
She urgently contacted me yesterday and rented the entire store.
“If you like, go in.”
Theorard, hardened on her heart, took her elf’s hand her and opened the door to her clothing store her. A clean interior unfolds beyond the open door.
In the midst of the numerous hangers arranged in an orderly manner at a certain distance, the staff and manager of the Geumgye clothing store politely bowed their heads.
“Welcome! Viscount Theorard!”
The hand holding the knob trembled at the sound of the voices resounding in unison. He said he was renting a shop, but he didn’t know that all the other employees except for the store manager would be there.
Didn’t I do it without realizing it? As Theo Rad was reflecting on his own morality of his, the store manager approached with a smile on his face his and folded his hands respectfully.
“It is an honor to meet you. Are you here to buy a present for Lady Esili? If it wasn’t enough that you secretly came to buy it, and you rented the entire store…….”
Right! When the store manager snaps his fingers, two employees drag a hanger as if they had been waiting. It was a hanger with various underwear and corsets hanging on it.
“These are the trendiest items in the fort system. How are you?”
“No…”
It’s hard to keep an eye on it. Theo Rad shook his head and pointed at the elf.
“I came to buy clothes for my maid. Don’t overdo it.”
“Ah. Are you talking about the maid?”
As if there were no aristocrats visiting the store to buy maid clothes, the store manager quickly understood and looked the elf up and down.
“I’m presumptuous, but you have a great body. Especially since the chest is above average, I don’t think there are many clothes that fit in our store. Wouldn’t it be nice to have a custom made one?”
“…… Is that enough?”
“Yes. Even Lady Essilly is always custom-made…….”
The store manager stopped talking and kept his mouth shut. It was belatedly realized that the fact that he was custom-made for his fiancée his might be rude.
The store manager took a deep breath and examined Theo Rad’s complexion on her and gently lowered her head.
“Sorry. How dare I say something stupid…….”
“Yes? No. It’s okay. I have heard that Esily uses this store. The reason I asked to rent this shop is because Esily loves it. I thought that any store that a discerning woman would use would sell quality clothes.”
Only then does the manager’s face light up.
“You see! We run the largest clothing store in the county, and we always use the finest fabrics, so our clothes are flawless. Also, because he is sensitive to the fashion of the principality as well as the system…….”
The store manager’s bragging continued for about ten minutes after that. When the elf, who was annoyed at heart, noticed it, the store manager, who had just finished the story, looked at the elf with an apologetic expression.
“…… Sorry for the long talk. More than that, what kind of clothes do you like the maid? Just tell me and I will make you a colonel right away.”
“Nothing but clothes.”
“Aha. You mean jewelry? It’s not our main item, but we have some of it. Then I will colonel you right away!”
When the store manager snapped his fingers again, the fast-moving staff floated one of the shelves and colonized it. All sorts of dazzling ornaments were lined up in rows, but the elf wasn’t interested at all.
Rather, all eyes are drawn to the dusty dog collar in the corner of the shelf. However, choosing a dog collar would put Theorard in an awkward position.
‘There’s no need to bother me until today…….’
The elf muttered inwardly and picked up the leash that was placed on the shelf above the dog collar. It was an accessory made of thin black fabric with accessories in the shape of a cat’s paw.
“I’ll take this one.”
“You mean Choker. Okay. Would you like to try it on?”
The elf nodded and put the choker around his neck and fastened the loop. Theorard, who saw that, opened his mouth with worry and tension.
“Do you like it?”
The elf shook his head.
“…… It’s uncomfortable.”
The feeling of sticking to the neck is fine, but it feels rough, perhaps because the material is not good.
The store manager also humbly acknowledged the truth, probably expecting the elf’s reaction.
“I understand. This is actually…… I didn’t pay much attention to the fabric because I valued functionality and design. It is all the more so because the al-Qaera fabric was used.”
“Al-Qaera cloth? You mean you used that expensive thing for jewelry?”
“Yes. This is to hide the voice memory magic given to the choker. It’s because you’re recording and you don’t want the other person to notice it. Are you a maid? Would you like to press the cat’s paw once? “
As the manager said, the elf pressed the cat’s soles firmly. Then, the wave of mana spreads gently and then disappears.
The magic isn’t canceled. It was just that the Al-Qaera cloth was covering the activation of the magic. Even elves who are masters of magic won’t notice if they’re not paying attention.
“As you can see, the recording is being made, but no one knows that the magic is still going on, right? It’s such a great thing, but….”
“If you look closely at the Al-Qaera cloth, the outside is rugged. It is natural that the skin is sensitive to it.”
The store manager nodded at Theorard’s words.
“This is a wise statement. So I don’t recommend it unless you use it for a special purpose.”
“Then show me the other goods.”
“Yes, Viscount Nari. Guys! Move quickly!”
When the store manager shouted, the staff who had been absent-mindedly moved quickly.
‘…… You’re suffering because of me.’
Since the head of the Deham family is in the store, he must have been nervous and acted more slowly. Theorard, who was deeply sorry for that, laughed rather awkwardly.
“I’m just going to go out. Please recommend good things to my maid.”
“Yes? Ah yes. All right! By the way….”
The store manager, who was looking at the elf and Theorad alternately, continued with a puzzled face.
“Can I ask how your relationship is going?”
Be a relationship Normally, I would have glossed over it, but now I’m in a position where I have to treat elves kindly. After thinking for a while, Theorard spoke softly.
“She is a woman I especially like and cherish. Did you get an answer?”
The eyes of the elf who was listening to the story widened. I hope it’s because I didn’t know how to talk like that.
The elf turned around, unable to hide his embarrassment, but Theorard looked down at the elf with a calm face and then turned away.
“When you’re done buying, come out. We’ll see if it suits you.”
Again and again. The sound of Theorard’s heel kicking against the floor is particularly loud today. The elf’s breath, which had been stiff until Theorard left the store, trembled thinly and long.
In the meantime, the employees brought new chokers by type, so the store manager smiled and pointed to the hands of the employees.
“Ego. We have prepared items that are popular not only in drafting but also in principalities and kingdoms. If there’s anything you want-“
“I don’t like it.”
The stern answer is questionable. If you had just said that you had a sore throat, why would you suddenly change your mind? As the store manager watched, the elf touched the choker worn around his neck and pursed his lips.
“Did the master’s words just now be recorded here?”
“If that’s what you just said…… Are you saying you like maids? Of course.”
“Then…”
The elf’s ears, which had been level, gently sat down accompanied by a slight heat.
“…… With this, I will do it.”
