Chapter 37 – How Cats Get Eaten – Part 2
There were so many seats, but Tyr took the seat across from Cheshire.
“…What? Why are you doing this?”
“Executives say that executives should eat together.”
“Did the captain say that?”
“Yeah I did. Listen to the sounds around you and live. If it wasn’t for me, the captain would have beaten me again.”
“Hmm… Thank you.”
I didn’t even want to imagine being beaten by Florian. So, for now, Cheshire slightly bowed his head to the sea turtle. It meant thank you.
Of course, what Tyr just said was a lie. Anyway.
Cheshire silently raised his fork and knife and ate the steak, and Tyr stared at him intently.
It was such a blatant gaze that Cheshire had no choice but to stop eating halfway through.
“What are you looking at?”
“No, it just looks hungry.”
Tyr moved one of the most precious things on his plate, a cupcake that looked appetizing, onto Cheshire’s plate.
“Are you hungry? Just looking at it makes me hungry. It’s just a starving starvation. You must eat a lot.”
“It’s true that I was hungry, but… “
It was so burdensome that even the hunger ran away. But Tyr didn’t give Cheshire a chance to rest.
“Here, eat quickly.”
As if telling Tyr to eat as much as he did, he started chewing on the wagu wagu steak. Reluctantly, Cheshire replied while eating his own.
“…Something suspicious.”
“No, no. It happened. Cheshire, what do you think, Mr. Florian?”
“Captain? Why are you asking me all of a sudden? It’s like an ideology test.”
Cheshire tilted his head. But Tyr shook his head.
“Can that be? It’s just that we’re the same executives. Even while eating, we should talk comfortably. I was just wondering what you think of Florian.”
“The captain of El Balom. Don’t do anything like that.”
“Damn it. Of course there is. As a single man? As the opposite sex? Think about it that way and try to answer.”
Cheshire began to ponder, and in the meantime, Tyr’s plate was empty.
‘I will wake up now. Nyan.’
In fact, he didn’t know what to answer, so Cheshire was waiting for Tyr to finish eating.
However, even after the tray was empty, Tyr didn’t get up from his seat while sighing heavily, so he couldn’t help but feel a little frustrated.
‘What the hell… ‘
Feeling Cheshire’s stare at him, Tyr fiddled with his cigarette for no reason.
“Oh, I’m going to sit here for a while holding back the urge to smoke. After eating a full meal, the urge is especially strong.”
Cheshire thought of Tyr as usual. Of course, the first thing that came to mind was the image of him smoking a cigarette whenever he was given a break at the construction site.
… But suddenly you put up with that heart?
But when he said he would do something good for his health, he kicked him out.
“As if my answer is important?”
“I guess so.”
“As if it’s a life-and-death matter? Will you die if you answer incorrectly?”
“Ah, it’s not like that.”
Tyr waved his hand across it a few times. He continued with a slightly meaningful expression.
“The captain said he liked you. So, I was curious about what Cheshire was thinking~ Ah, it’s too bad I couldn’t hear this~”
Florian had mentioned that he liked Cheshire, so he wasn’t lying.
Of course, it was just a story that he liked it for work, so if this conversation had reached Florian’s ears, Tyr would have already become soup.
But what can I do? Florian is not here.
Cheshire looked at Tyr with a little surprise, and Tyr continued her words with an expression like the poor heroine of her novel.
“This is really unfortunate~ Cheshire can’t help it if the captain isn’t very good. Yes, what can you do! It’s not as easy as the boss said. What is that!”
“…”
Cheshire was a little confused.
He licked his lips a few times, but he couldn’t say anything, and after emptying the water next to him at once, he hurriedly scooped up some soup and ate it.
What the hell does he mean by this? Cheshire thought about Florian.
Although his mouth and actions were rough, he was a great man as a superior.
It was because he stepped out to take care of his subordinates and was stronger than anything else.
But what was he thinking when he said he liked Cheshire? As the opposite sex? Or as a subordinate?
It was so out of the blue that I couldn’t help but worry deeply. Carefully asked Tyr.
“So, what did you mean when you said you liked it?”
However, the reaction that came back unexpectedly was cold.
“I don’t know that far. First of all, think slowly while eating.”
He hadn’t eaten before because it was a burden to eat, but when something became more burdensome than eating, he felt compelled to eat something.
As Cheshire began to eat in silence, Tyr added a word.
“Still, do you feel that the captain regards you as special? He comes directly to the construction site and takes care of Chewie, and even saves the kidnapped.”
“But don’t you think he cherishes you as a subordinate? First of all, I have a fiancé… “
“Damn it. What kind of monogamy is this era? If the captain likes it, he likes it.”
“So that… That he likes… “
Ha ha, Tyr pounded her chest with his fist as if he was frustrated and picked up a fork.
Then, forcibly, he pushed each bite of the steak, which was full of the scent of her cilantro.
About half the steak, Tyr parted her lips again.
“Now, think about it carefully. What kind of person are you, Captain?”
“A person who makes us, who used to work like slaves in Wonderland, work in a better environment… ? Great person… ? I think of him as such a great person.”
“Yes, yes. Then, thinking of you, how do you feel physically and mentally?”
“How is your body and mind… ? Nyaang… “
Cheshire crossed his arms and carefully examined his body.
As he checked, he realized something was wrong with his body.
When I turned my head, the landscape in my field of vision rippled like a wave, and something hot was boiling up from below as if something was on fire somewhere in my body.
Even if I drank Chewir until the film stopped, I didn’t feel this dizzy.
Do you feel dizzy and not dizzy right now? Do you feel like you can destroy this space with just one finger?
But my whole body itches. Not only from the surface of the skin, but from the depths of the lower abdomen, a tickling sensation came up and made me feel like going crazy.
“Mi, I think I’m going crazy… “
Cheshire doesn’t even know that her body has become like this because of the scent of dandelion, and she thinks that she has become like this because she thought of Florian.
Even the cat lady still had an innocent side.
Tyr nodded her head with a proud expression.
“Yeah. That’s really good. Even the captain said he would go crazy if he only thought of you.”
— Ha really, I’m going crazy because of you guys. Shall I bite my tongue and commit suicide? No. I just have to kill all of you.
Of course, Florian said this, but… It was Tyr who passed the risk of becoming turtle soup several times today.
“I mean, it’s really like that… ?”
“Okay. Why would I lie? Now, eat steak and chill out.”
Tyr again shoved the sardine-scented steak into Cheshire’s mouth.
Cheshire silently took it and ate it while his hot body was sweating profusely.
Cheshire finally got up from his seat. His body was in such a strange condition that he could not sit still.
But Tyr caught on.
“Where?”
“Mo, I feel weird. I think I should go see Dodo.”
“No, no. It happened while thinking of the captain, but it doesn’t make sense to go to Dodo.”
“Then uh, what should I do?”
By then, Tyr nodded his head in involuntary admiration.
Cheshire had a melted look on his face, already completely flushed. Isn’t it kind of a miracle that you’re holding on while maintaining your sanity?
It seems that the scent of Gae-Darae has a great effect on Su-in. Again, it was fortunate that he was not a prisoner.
Anyway, it was my turn to answer.
“I have to go and tell the captain. I thought of the captain and this happened. Do you know anything Wouldn’t it be right to ask this question? Huh?”
“Shh, not easy… “
Tyr grabbed his fork.
“Damn it. Would you like to write something like that too? What’s easier then Isn’t it the job of an executive to report every little thing? Uh?”
“You, how well you report, just… “
“Me? How detailed do I report? I mean.”
Tyr hit the pile of papers next to him with his palm.
“The cost of construction, how many hours the workers worked and how many hours they rested, what snacks were included, what materials were used, etc… That’s why I’m reporting in such detail!”
“Bo, are you doing it yourself?”
“Of course. What is loyalty?”
“Nyaang… “
After finally nodding her head as if she knew, Cheshire began to head for Florian’s room.
“Yes, yes. You both should thank me, really.”
Tyr watched with satisfaction.
…And Alice was quietly watching her back.
