Chapter 445 – 37. Temporary Suspension of Warrior Work
Restaurant Huche located in the capital of the Kingdom of Palania.
It is one of the oldest restaurants in Palania, and its standards are high, as evidenced by its survival over a long period of time.
The Kingdom of Palania is not very popular with gourmets on the continent, but it is still frequently recommended.
Reservations would have been hard to come by, so it was surprising that we were able to schedule dinner in just one day.
‘Is it because of the value of the name of an SS-class hero?’
“What are you thinking like that?”
“Oh, I’m just curious.”
Han Si-woo responded to Sheila, who was sitting across from him.
“Exciting? Is this your first time here?”
“Yes. It’s difficult to make a reservation for a distant date.”
An urgent mission may arise, or another incident may occur.
Even though the situation for next week is uncertain, it is difficult to make a reservation by specifying the number of people.
It was surprising that during the month-long vacation, nothing that needed him had yet happened.
“Hehe, if it’s Siwoo, it won’t be difficult to make a reservation for the same day or the next day.”
“Is that so? But there is a designated place…”
“You just have to ask for understanding from other guests. Most people would be happier to be friends with you, right? That’s how Soyoung found a room for two.”
“Ah.”
It was indeed a reasonable explanation.
Unlike modern times, it is not possible to travel long distances and come briefly from far away, nor does the population reach the level of a large city.
There is bound to be a limited number of people who can use such a high-end restaurant.
“I see. I never thought about it that way.”
“Well, there is nothing we can do. In our case, we will rather eat in a place like a mansion or royal castle.”
Siwoo laughed and agreed with Sheila’s words.
Even after that, the conversation continued without interruption.
Thanks to this, Siwoo’s mind was still confused until the appetizers were served, and he tasted the restaurant’s dishes.
‘There’s nothing wrong with you.’
Starting with what happened yesterday, the attitude Han So-young showed during the day, and even the dinner promise at the restaurant.
He definitely thought Sheila liked him, or at least liked him.
It wasn’t a baseless confidence she gained because she was successful.
However, from the moment we met in front of the restaurant until now, Sheila’s attitude has been calm.
It almost makes you think, ‘Am I mistaken?’
“Hmm. This is delicious. I don’t really like fish, but I think the fish meat here is good.”
Sheila burst out in admiration as she ate the soup that came out before she knew it.
“Ah, this is something that only comes from Romez. As it is a specialty product, it is easy to eat without pressure.”
“Romez is a sea kingdom, right? That’s right.”
“The good recipe here probably plays a role. Or is it because of the soup?”
“Hehe, I’m going to get scolded if I ask the secret to the taste.”
“If you do that, you’ll be in big trouble. You won’t be able to ignore the SS-class hero party asking you.”
“Ahaha! Yes, that’s right. It’s going to be a big problem.”
It wasn’t hilarious, but what was so funny?
I looked closely at Sheila, who was covering her mouth and smiling while questioning Siu.
A blue evening dress with an impressive design.
It was my first time seeing Sheila in a dress.
I always wore simple everyday clothes or armor for battle, and even for the two large-scale parties, I wrapped my entire body in dignified metal armor instead of a dress. Especially since I always wore pants, today was the first time I saw a skirt and bare legs.
‘Even if she doesn’t make it up, Aunt Sheila is a beauty too.’
Is she just a beauty?
A well-toned body befitting a warrior who boasts one of the best spear skills in the world.
She has a good style, with a moderate chest, narrow waist, and protruding hips and hips, so she looks stylish no matter what she wears.
Add in the beautiful dress, and once you recognized it, it was difficult to take your eyes off it.
‘It’s not that much exposure, but it’s really sexy.’
I don’t know if it’s the lust that comes from her natural charm, or if it’s her own perspective.
Anyway, her outfit is so unique that it’s hard to believe it’s an illusion.
“…”
The conversation was interrupted for a moment while I was secretly appreciating Sheila.
“… Hehe.”
I broke the short silence and laughed mischievously with Sheila.
“Aren’t you looking at it too much?”
“Ugh. … I’m sorry. It was obvious.”
“That’s right. They say I’m sensitive to how women look at me, but I’m not an ordinary woman.”
If you scan thoroughly like Siwoo, you will be able to notice it not just in front of you but from hundreds of meters away.
Whether it’s magic or physical vision, it’s only when the opponent has that level of vision.
That’s a different story, so even if she didn’t pay attention, Sheila was happy to see Siwoo’s gaze.
Up until now, he had been very calm, but now I felt his eyes change a little.
“Hmm. I didn’t mean to say that, but Aunt Sheila’s…”
“Wait a minute.”
“Uh, why are you doing that?”
“That will be banned in the future.”
“Something…”
“Your aunt.”
Sheila narrowed her eyes and held out her index finger.
“Until now, I tried to do it because of Soyoung, but there is no such culture here. So from now on, calling me aunt is prohibited.”
“Ah…”
As she looked at Si-woo with a blank expression, her ears burned.
This was her own declaration.
This means that we will build a different relationship than before.
It’s funny, but I was convinced that I was worried about my feelings for Si-woo when I met him today.
‘Why, why are you so cool… ♡’
For the first time in my life, I felt an excitement towards the opposite sex.
It was not difficult to hold the hand held out without hesitation, even though it was an escort.
It was difficult for her to manage her facial expressions, and she seemed to be the only one who was nervous, so she tried to act more calmly.
However, Sheila, who had made up her mind about Si-woo’s attitude just now, was not confident about her confession and had no choice but to say it in this way.
Just as you thought, I am interested in you.
“… I guess so. Yes, it was my mistake, Sheila.”
“Yes…♡”
As expected, Siwoo understood what she was saying and looked directly at her with his rather serious eyes.
As many things have happened before, there is no longer any need to consider it a misunderstanding.
Immediately after the smile of mutual understanding, Siwoo smiled and said.
“But since when did it start?”
“Huh…?”
“I was really surprised when you suddenly did that. Just like yesterday.”
“Ah, that’s it…”
Sheila blushed with embarrassment at that direct question.
It’s difficult to answer exactly when and when to start, and it’s embarrassing to be honest about it.
Knock. Bye.
“Excuse me. The main dish has been served.”
If the waiter hadn’t arrived at the right time, it would have been very difficult.
Si-woo also had no intention of torturing her further, so she did not question her further.
Even if it wasn’t necessary, there was a lot of conversation between the two so that the conversation never stopped during meal time.
After a satisfying dinner at the restaurant, we returned to the mansion and went to our respective rooms.
That’s right.
“Hey, Sheila. You’re kidding, right?”
After confirmation, we parted ways.
“What about the plan we planned yesterday!”
Soyoung Han, who reunited with her friend much earlier than expected, shouted at Sheila.
Of course, I thought I would be having a good time by now, at least taking a walk.
The absurdity of meeting Sheila in the hallway by chance.
I exaggerated it a bit, but it was about the same as when I first heard about this world.
“Oh, no, that’s…”
In the room where she was forcibly taken by Soyoung, Sheila twisted her body and avoided his gaze.
“For some reason, it was difficult. Asking people to go for a walk…”
“Ugh. I never thought my friend would be so new to dating.”
“But you can’t help it?! You’re a beginner!”
“That’s right, I’m a beginner. Ah, but I never imagined it would be like this. We even had a passionate discussion together, so what is this?”
“Ugh. Sorry about that. Still…”
Sheila recalled the meal she had with Siu and the walk on the way back to the mansion.
It was only three or four hours in total, but it was a lot of fun.
It can’t even be compared to fighting a strong person or defeating a monster.
Originally, she came here because she was talented and had the opportunity, but she doesn’t like fighting.
She didn’t have much of a hobby, so she naturally got into it.
Han So-young, who knew this, felt strange about the female expression her friend was making.
“You can make facial expressions like this.”
“Me? What kind of expression do I have?”
“Hmm. Well, you don’t really know yourself. Hehe, if you bring a mirror, your current expression will disappear.”
“…”
What does she suddenly want to say?
Sheila glances at Han So-young, who speaks somehow meaningfully.
The friend, who was smiling mischievously, felt a little offended and threw himself on her bed as if to vent his anger.
“Ah, it’s because of you. It was fine until now, but suddenly…”
“Isn’t that a pity? I should have suggested we stay together a little longer.”
“… Aren’t you reading my mind too well?”
“Well, we’ve been friends for several years. If you pretend, you’ll show up. You did the same.”
“Well, because it looked good.”
When Soyoung Han started dating her now widowed ex-husband, the first thing she noticed was Sheila.
Even though she said it was obvious, she hadn’t noticed the other party members for over several months.
That made their friendship a little more special.
Now, another meaning has been added to that friendship.
“It’s amazing. Soyoung, you and the same man came between you.”
“Really. Even if I come first.”
“I said it yesterday, but I didn’t do it on purpose.”
“Yes, yes. I know, I know.”
“It’s so strange. Why…”
“What is that way of talking? So are you saying that our Siwoo is not that good?”
The tone was playful, but the content was surprising.
“What? Ugh, cold!”
Sheila shouted, quickly standing up and coughing lightly.
“That can’t be possible!”
Haha! Ah, it’s fun. I can’t believe the day will come when I can make fun of Sheila like this.”
“Are you really… Getting scolded for doing that?”
“Me? Hmm. Then, shall we spar for the first time in a while?”
“I like it, but let’s do it now?”
“Then now!”
Han So-young laughed and jumped into the bed where Sheila was lying.
Sheila then realized that she had been tricked and counterattacked, avoiding her friend’s tickling.
That was the time when two women in their 30s were having fun together like children.
Click.
“Are you inside? I knocked, but there was no answer.”
Through the gap in the open door, there was Siwoo with a confused face.
