Chapter 52 – Let Me Introduce You to My Girlfriend (4)
“Who are these people?”
Starchis was perplexed.
Lying is not his specialty.
In Stachis’s mind, it seemed that Lily would not believe a lie no matter what he said.
Lily watched them closely.
No matter how you look at it, the two of them seemed the same.
Stachis thinks.
Why did Lily come so soon?
Oh, now that I think about it, she always arrives early for her appointments.
At that moment, Rose came in.
“Hello, Lily. How are you doing?”
“…Yes.”
She answered, but Lily’s eyes were fixed on the two men.
A large mass of muscle.
Even at first glance, Lily seemed like they were people who used their bodies.
He looked like a gangster…Or a bodyguard.
Rose said before Lily’s thoughts took over.
“Oh, I don’t know these people. He asked for directions for a while.”
“Are your companions here? Then let’s go. Thank you.”
Brooke, like her Rose, took her lies naturally and moved her feet after giving her her answer.
They went into the fine dining restaurant in the back.
But Lily’s eyes followed the bodyguard.
Seeing that gaze, Rose stabbed Stachis with her elbow.
“Ah. Nu, sister You’re wearing nice clothes. Fit well.”
Lily’s gaze returned to them at Stachis’ praise.
Then, after chewing hard on Stachis’ compliment, he smiled with the corner of his mouth twitching.
“Oh, thank you. Stachis too… Ah.”
Lily finally saw what Starchis was wearing.
It was the clothes she bought for her.
The clothes she put on wiretapping magic and even heard the sound of them having sex.
After that, it was so painful that I removed the eavesdropping magic.
As she recalled that memory, she felt anew that the two people in front of her were so close.
Stachis asked as she turned her gaze toward him and toward her clothes.
“..These clothes? Thanks again sister. Does it suit you?”
“Uh… It suits me.”
But apart from her mood, Starchis was definitely cool.
It was so beautiful that it was hard to meet her eyes.
His ordinary but lovely face shines.
Every outfit was sexy.
I liked the fact that I was the one who bought those clothes, but I hated it.
Overall, it was a complicated feeling.
Lily’s thoughts about the bodyguard were all blown away.
Rose followed Lily through his clothes and pointed her finger at his shirt.
“Uh? Starchis, the button here is undone.”
“Oh, this? Haha… It wasn’t loosened, actually, I couldn’t entice it because my hands were uncomfortable.”
He naturally answers Rose in short words.
She was Lily, who felt uncomfortable with those words.
I couldn’t feel comfortable because his hands were so uncomfortable that a person I’d known for a long time couldn’t even do such a trivial thing.
“I’ll help you.”
Rose walked over and touched his clothes.
Lily watched it.
“I will continue to do these things in the future.”
Rose seemed quite adept at lying.
She was already acting as if she were a real lover, drawing a picture of her future together.
Starches was amazed.
She was learning a lot from her lies.
“Thank you, Elsaine.”
Starchis smiled and said, and Rose looked up at him and smiled.
He, too, just watched Lily.
There was no visible gap between them.
Lily wasn’t the only one seeing this.
“I’m here, Chis.”
Russ appears and greets her.
She, too, came out dressed as beautifully as Lily.
When she put down her usual sword and came back, her menacing appearance disappeared and a more feminine charm was revealed.
“…Hello, Elsaine.”
“Yes, Mr. Russ, nice to meet you too.”
Saying hello brightly, Rose fastened the last button on Starches’ clothes.
She then slaps her and she slaps him on the shoulder.
“It’s done, Starchis.”
Starchis laughed at the sight of Rose starting to look a little excited as people gathered.
Even to people I didn’t know, they seemed to get along well.
Russ, who had greeted her, was slowly approaching.
Starchis, who arranged her dressing, greeted Russ.
“Are you here, Russ?”
And he looked at her clothes.
It was a black dress, like her eyes and hair.
The clothes came down naturally from the shoulder to the hem, so I felt relaxed.
The wind swayed the skirt slightly.
“Oh… It’s pretty. It’s the first time I’ve seen it decorated like this.”
“Hehe… Thank you.”
Soon after seeing Elzain and Stachis close together and arranging their clothes, she became disarmed and disarmed at his praise.
She was also nervous because it was her first time wearing clothes like this, but I thought she did well to dress up and come.
“You, you’re cool too, Chis.”
Just as Starchis saw Russ dressed up for the first time, Russ had never seen Starchis dressed up like this.
At the same time as her heart beat uncontrollably, her heart ached at the thought of who she had dressed up for.
“Ah, this is the dress Lily noona bought me. I told her to try it on when she got a girlfriend. You missed it. Do you remember?”
‘Ah, these clothes…’
She remembered
At that time, I used to say that I would look at clothes before Lily.
Now that I think about it, I wonder how little things we fought for.
Actually Starchis was leaving them.
Rose, who was listening from the side, asked Stachis.
“Then this is a dress to show off to me?”
Starchis looked at Rose and asked.
“Do you think it’s pretty?”
“Sure, I told you before.”
She gave Lily a thumbs up and smiled.
“Thank you, Lily.”
Rose was simply thanking her in a harmless way, but Lily’s teeth were grinding.
Her mouth was tightly shut, and even if she wanted to give an answer, even with empty words, she could not.
She smiled with her tightly closed mouth and nodded to Elza.
Then Rose looked down at herself.
It was the intended outfit, but she wanted it too plain.
“… I guess I should have dressed up a bit more. Everyone is so pretty.”
Starchis told her that.
“Nope. Pretty enough.”
“Really?”
Rose was seriously asking.
Starchis, on the other hand, was still in a situational play.
I say it thinking about how I would have responded if it were my girlfriend.
“Then. Don’t think about your standards. Beautiful by my standards.”
Rose smiled shyly.
Lily and Russ tinkered with their clothes.
Soon, Bien was seen approaching in the distance.
“Ah, rain is coming over there.”
She, too, was well-dressed.
‘Doesn’t everyone think today is too important?’
Stachis thinks.
Of course, since he is introducing his girlfriend, he thought that even if he came dressed up a little neatly, the other party members would come out casually.
But when they all passed, they came out dressed to attract the attention of men.
As soon as they all dressed up and came, who would not be inferior to anyone in terms of beauty, burdensome gazes poured out here and there.
“Hi.”
Bien comes over and greets Stachis.
“Hello. See you first? My name is Elza.”
“Greetings, Vien. This is my girlfriend.”
Bien glanced at Elzain and bowed slightly to greet her.
“Did you tell me? I’m shy.”
Starchis makes fun of Bien for a moment because he is laughing at him.
But Bien did not react.
Instead, he took a small vial from his waistband and handed it to Stachis.
“What’s this?”
I wondered what a bottle of medicine was in this place.
“…Where did you find it? They say it’s good for your arms.”
Bien’s hand, handing over the vial, was covered with scars.
Starchis asked, looking at the hand.
“You made it, Bien?”
“I found it… “
Starchis took the medicine she handed over.
It contained a blueish medicine like the color of mana.
“…Even something like this…What’s good about this?”
At those words, Bien stared at Stachis.
“Ah, not suspicious or anything like that, just curious. What should I eat right now?”
“..Yes.”
Bien answers without hesitation.
Starchis never doubted her.
If Bien is good, it is good.
Can’t do anything bad
At her words, Stachis opened the vial without hesitation and drank all the medicine in her.
It was bitter and sticky.
“..The taste is strange. Will you tell me what is good for now, Vien?”
Bien, who drinks without hesitation the medicine she gave her, felt another emotion when she saw him.
A proud feeling that she really trusts herself.
From dawn, she climbed the mountain to gather herbs and made medicine while injuring her hands.
“…They say it’s nice to feel mana.”
“Oh yeah? Hey… Thank you for this again..”
Bien turns her head.
She was just ashamed.
“Thank you, BNC.”
Rose also stands beside her to thank her.
‘I didn’t make it for you.’
Bien thought to herself.
“By the way, your clothes are pretty, Vien. Did everyone dress up like this?”
Bien smiled softly.
‘You’re cool too, Starches.’
Bienne thought she said it, but she just muttered it in her head.
“Okay, now that we’ve all met, let’s go inside and talk.”
****
Waiters ushered them to a table.
It was a large round table.
There were already several settings on the table.
“Have you made a reservation?”
Asked Russ.
“I did. It’s a place to introduce your lover.”
Starches and Roses sit together,
Russ next to Stachis,
Bienne is opposite Staches,
Lily sat next to Rose.
After everyone is seated and tidying up the surroundings, there is an awkward silence for a moment.
Starchis opened his mouth.
“Everyone knows why we gathered today, but…Well. I want to introduce you to my girlfriend. It’s Elsaine.”
Elzain cautiously got up from her seat and she greeted the three ladies.
She was a respectful and impeccable greeting.
Starchis was admiring it, thinking, ‘As expected, a noble…’.
The three women, whom she had seen several times before, took another close look at the woman.
Their less beautiful looks, plain clothes, and undesirable greetings.
All of them quickly decide that Starchis is not a lover.
She came back after repeating something she didn’t even have in her heart, saying, “If you’re a really cool person, you should give up.”
As soon as she saw Elza, she thought that she could never hand him over to a bitch like that.
“And Elsaine? The guy next to him is Russ.”
“Hello. My name is Starchis’ best friend of six years, Russ.”
Russ shook her head and brushed her hair in her natural way, she said.
The scent of his hair hit Starchis.
“Mr. Russ. I heard a lot. Starchis relies on it a lot.”
“Ahaha.. Starchis, were you such a nice person? Tell me something about your girlfriend.”
It sounded like a blessing, but it wasn’t.
You’ve heard a lot about me, but I haven’t heard anything about you.
Stachis went on to explain.
“And on the other side is Bien. She is our party saint.”
Bien was greeted with a nod of her head.
“And like I said, I’m shy.”
“You are like a doll.”
Bien glared at her chirit her Elsain.
Elsain looked back at her bien, with her question mark floating in her head.
“Lastly, this person next to me. The magician of our party. She’s It’s Lily’s sister.”
“Hello.”
This time, let Elzain say hello first.
“Hello. It’s Lily.”
Lily was greeted.
“This is the second time I have met you, but I feel very friendly. Like Starchis, he is like my younger brother.”
“Hehe.. Thank you for liking it.”
“So, by the way, can I talk to you, Elza?”
“You mean?”
She was surprised by Lily, who suddenly closed her distance, but she thought good was good.
If we can get to know each other faster, there’s nothing wrong with that.
“Yes, take it easy.”
“Okay? All right, Elsaine.”
Starchis was puzzled as she watched Lily at her sudden drop of words.
She didn’t know that Lily, who hadn’t stopped talking to anyone in the party yet, would be like this.
“Are you quite generous with your older sister, Elzain? You still haven’t spoken to me.”
“Because we’re the same girl, it’s so comfortable.”
“I feel comfortable when you come out like that. Can I call you Lily unnie too?”
Rose asked.
Lily didn’t really want to do that, but it’s natural for her to come and go.
She couldn’t say she didn’t like her here.
“… Do it.”
“Thank you, Lily.”
And hee hee, Rose laughed.
It wasn’t long before she came out, but she was happy to be able to make friends with many people through Stachis.
In particular, the only thing she was in this position was the gatherers she admired.
She had many things she wanted to ask.
Soon the waiters came out with the food prepared earlier.
The cumbersome things like course dishes were ordered so that the main dish could be served right away.
And the menu is, of course, meat.
Because they always eat meat when they get together.
It’s the most effortless and the hardest to fail.
A bowl is placed in front of all personnel.
And several waiters remove the silver lid that was covered on the bowl at once as if they had put together a sum.
The steam came up and the meat appeared.
Starchi thought that few foods beat meat in terms of visuals.
The silver caps were removed and the waiters began filling their glasses with wine.
Stachis was blinded and did not know,
During this short break, Rose was busy reviewing the contents of the lie, so she didn’t see it.
The other three party members were quietly feeling the tension as they listened to the sound of the wine slowly being poured.
Soon, it seemed that a bloody fight would begin.
“Now, shall we have a toast?”
Everyone had a glass together.
“Elsaine, is there anything you want to say?”
“Uh.. Hehe. I am not good at this.”
Bienne didn’t want to look at the shy Elsaine.
She forgets that she too is shy like that sometimes.
“Um… For a long relationship!”
Elsaine cutely raised her glass and said.
She was Lily, who didn’t even like her toast her.
She may not know if she is with Starchis, but her relationship with her with Elzain shouldn’t last long.
Starches says
“For!”
Says Russ.
“I’ll eat well, Chis.”
Said Lily.
“Next time, my sister will buy it for you, Stachis.”
Vienne drank the wine in silence.
None of the three toasted her long relationship her.
Rose smiled and took a sip of her wine.
“..?”
It was a bit astringent and sour wine for Rose’s taste than I thought.
She always drank very expensive wine, so no matter how high-end she went to a restaurant, she didn’t suit her taste her as an aristocrat.
The wine wasn’t hard enough for her to spit out, but she wanted to rinse her mouth out.
But there was no glass of water in sight.
Out of habit, Rose called her own maid, wanting to rinse her off quickly.
“Elzain-“
Then he cuts her off her.
Because now she herself was Elsa.
Everyone was drinking a sip of wine, so their voices spread clearly.
There was no one who did not hear what Rose had to say.
Everyone’s attention was focused.
Starchis pretended not to hear her, but his eyes rolled impatiently towards her.
Her three ladies look at her curiously.
“…?”
A person who is Elzain calls Elsaine.
It was an odd situation.
‘Oh, no.’
Rose couldn’t get out of her lie because of this.
Finally, she closes her eyes and speaks.
“…Elzain wants some water..”
Emergency escape 3rd person speech.
Her face her turns red
