Chapter 19 – What Is She Doing? (3)
I went to a restaurant to have dinner with my brother.
It was a very upscale restaurant.
We each ordered food and started talking.
There was still a smile on his brother’s face.
“Ah, brother. I bought you a present. Because of you, I have time like this.”
I handed my brother a handkerchief I bought on the street.
He took the handkerchief, looked it over from front to back, and put it in his pocket.
“It’s pretty. I’ll write well. By the way, that’s how it happened.”
“This day?”
“Uh.”
He poured water for his brother and frowned.
“Oh, right. Brother. I’m grateful that the problem was solved because of you, but you weren’t the only one who said the right thing.”
“Okay? What went wrong?”
“My brother said it was because they like me.”
“It did.”
“So, just in case, I asked him like he said. Do you like me?”
“Oh, did you say that?”
My older brother was looking at me with an excited expression.
“What is oh? I hear you don’t like it and that’s it. I almost became awkward with my close sister because of you.”
Hearing that, his expression becomes bored, like a person who has lost his pulse.
“… Okay? That’s weird If you liked it, there is no reason not to do it there.”
“Look. You didn’t.”
“Therefore. What next?”
“Next?”
“No, you have to explain the part where you said you had a girlfriend.”
“Oh right.”
I messed with my memory.
“So… Um. Originally, you didn’t want to follow my brother’s advice, did you?”
“What the. Did you ask about all of that?”
“I mean, I was embarrassed. You have to lie.”
“Okay. Therefore?”
“But maybe it’s because I overworked myself by chasing after the party members, but during the battle, my strength gets exhausted-“
“-What?”
This time, the older brother crumples his expression.
It looks like a tiger from behind.
Seeing it like that is a bit scary.
That’s grade A.
I skipped the story casually.
“It’s okay. It was nothing.”
“Starchis, your brother said to always put safety first. It’s not just you, it’s the end if your party members lose their lives.”
“Okay. I’ll be careful next time anyway-“
As he spoke, he carefully looked into his brother’s eyes. He looked uncomfortable, but as we talked, he seemed to be concentrating. He let out a sigh of relief and spoke.
“-At that time, I felt that I had to pay more attention to my health after I realized that my strength was weakened and it was dangerous. It’s not just to please the party members. So I trusted him and followed his advice, and it worked.”
“What was the reaction like?”
“That wizard sister just burst out laughing, you know my friend? Why have you been friends for so long?”
“Ah. Was your name Russ…?”
“He is right. He sat down I don’t know why. But if I asked why, the story would get longer, and then I just ran away because I was afraid I would be found out.”
This word puts a smile on his brother’s face again.
“Did you not hear anything when you saw the child sitting down?”
“What kind of life- child, brother!”
He is casting a sinister eye. Wiggle your little finger
“Even the wizard sister didn’t like me, as a result! Again? You just spit out that it’s not your business.”
“No… Why are you so angry?”
I thought for a moment and showed the thumb of my left hand.
“Look. I also matched the friendship ring. Hyung, if you like someone, will you buy them a friendship ring?”
“It’s not like that. Did he buy it for you?”
“Uh.”
“Oh, it goes well.”
Annoyed, I was about to say something, but when I saw my older brother’s expression, I burst into laughter.
It was fun to tease him, but he looked like he was going to die.
“Done. I only lose Anyway, that’s it.”
The older brother nodded.
“Well, it’s definitely resolved.”
At that time, an employee in uniform approached.
“The food is out.”
“Thank you.”
I reached out and tried to grab the bowl.
“Starches.”
My brother called me quietly.
He was giggling again as if he had seen something funny.
He shook his head slightly from side to side.
Realizing what he was saying, I put my hand away.
Then the waitress neatly placed the food in front of me, took the silver lid, said hello, and disappeared.
When the waitress disappeared, the older brother began to laugh in earnest.
Quit-quick-quick.
I tasted it.
“It can’t be helped. This is my first time in a place like this.”
“So if I tell you to buy it in the future, follow me. Mmm, delicious. Eat a lot. You have to pay for it.”
“I haven’t been able to catch up yet because I’ve been busy. I got it anyway.”
As my brother said, the food tasted different.
There was another reason to grow the party.
I wanted to eat something like this at every meal.
“Oh, by the way, you’ll have to pay more attention to lies in the future.”
My brother tells me
Head still stuck to the food.
“I know. So, I learned how to lie well not too long ago.”
The older brother shook his head.
“Nope. You don’t know Starches. If I had known, I would not have worn a friendship ring.”
“Uh?”
I pondered over his words and thought about them.
That’s right. If you had a real girlfriend, you’d hate just matching your friendship ring with another girl.
“Care more. If you want to rest comfortably for a little longer.”
“Okay.”
“If you know, when you go home, take the ring off and put it in your pocket. It’s for you.”
I nodded. After all, there is nothing wrong with listening to your brother.
“Thank you, bro.”
He said with a grin.
“Love. My little brother.”
****
It was night. Time for everyone to go to sleep.
After the Starches Treaty was broken, Lily, Vien, and Russ arrived at the Starches’ inn.
The reason is to ask questions about Stachis’s lover.
I couldn’t believe the first time he told me he had a girlfriend, so if you asked me how we met,
It was to find out what kind of year he was now that he had admitted to having a girlfriend.
There were two unnatural points.
The first is how I met Starchis every night that night,
The second is how and why did they start dating after only two weeks.
In fact, it wasn’t that it was unnatural, it was the fact that they didn’t want to believe.
We could have met every time by chance enough,
If the mind is right, you can date in 2 weeks.
Anyway, they were prepared to meet him face to face and talk about his girlfriend.
It was very clear that he would be hurt.
But what if. At least once in a while, Stachis’s lover was a flower snake that was aiming at something of him, and if they could enlighten him, they were willing to bear the wounds.
“Starches! Open the door!”
Thump thump thump
“Chiss, we’re here. Could you open the door for a minute?”
Knock Knock
“Starches? I have something to tell you.”
Each of them stood in front of his door in a different way and knocked on the door.
There was no response even after beating for a while.
As they shake the dorm, an old man comes out from the next room.
“Ah, great. Get some sleep-“
“-Mute.”
When Lily casts the spell, the old man just opens his mouth. He panics and panics, but is frightened by three women who stare at him and enters the room.
“Hey! Why don’t you open the door!! … Are you ignoring us just because you have a girlfriend…?”
The mouth of Bien, who always shoots, has no strength.
She finally knocked on the door again and again with her hand instead of words.
Thump thump
“Girls! Too noisy at night! What is it… Aren’t they the pretty girls who are always with Stachis?”
The inn lady appeared and talked to them.
Russ answered her.
“I’m sorry. I have something to talk to Starchis about.”
The inn lady blinked her eyes.
“Isn’t that bachelor not there now?”
“…Yes?”
“I went out to meet someone.”
At the same time, a chilly aura enveloped the inn lady.
“Oops. Why is it getting cold all of a sudden… Huh.”
The eyes of the three women who looked around were unusual.
The inn lady, feeling unbelievable anxiety that the building might soon be blown down, quickly told them.
“… Uh, I’ll be back soon. Starches. There’s no one in the restaurant on the first floor, so why don’t we wait there..?”
The inn lady felt very sorry for Starchis.
Maybe Starchis ran away from them,
Giving in to her power, there was a feeling that she had sold him out.
‘I’m sorry, bachelor…!’
The inn lady closed her eyes and ran away.
****
“Ha~ It feels good!”
Starchis was on his way back to his lodgings drunk with his alcohol.
In the pocket was a friendship ring, as his brother had said.
Starchis enjoyed his drunkenness while dancing.
People might think I’m crazy, but I didn’t care.
Because I was happy.
Arrive at the inn.
He entered with a big hello.
“Madame! I’m here!”
And the next scene I saw made me sober.
No, are you drunk?
You can’t be here at this moment.
Lily, Vienne, and Russ were waiting for him on the first floor.
Even when I rubbed my eyes, it was still there.
The appearance of Starchis was not particularly welcome.
The atmosphere was very heavy.
‘Why are you here?’
Stachis thinks.
Starchis, sensing that it will be a nuisance, tries to lighten the mood.
“Uh? And! Who is this? Are you our party members? What the hell… Are you doing here…”
But it doesn’t come easy.
No matter how brightly he spoke to them, their faces showed no signs of brightening, so they lost their energy.
They ignore Stachis’ words and ask.
“Starchis, where have you been?”
“What are you doing now, Chis?”
“Hmm. Sniff Hmm!”
Bienman ate his nose and said nothing.
Did you catch a cold? Thought Stachis.
‘How long have you been waiting?’
I couldn’t predict what the hell I would have waited so far to say.
I just decided to answer their questions.
-‘Oh, by the way, I’ll have to pay more attention to lies in the future.’
His brother’s voice echoed in his head.
‘Can I say I came here to see my older brother?’
When he met her girlfriend, he said he didn’t have time for 5 days, but she couldn’t say that she had met his brother.
“I met my girlfriend-“
I speak calmly to them
“-Why are you leaving so late!!”
Lily’s sister screamed and cut her off.
It was the first time I saw it.
She seemed a little angry.
Starchis is so embarrassed that she can’t answer anything, so she changes her expression in surprise.
“Oh, no… It could be dangerous… “
He was dumbfounded
“Sister, when I took you home, I was late.”
He finally got impatient and told the truth a little bluntly.
“That, is it? Whoops.”
Then, this time, it was Lily who changed her expression completely like manic depression and was delighted.
Stachis did not understand,
Lily said that she was way ahead of Stachis’s girlfriend, and she liked her.
“Ha… Go in and tell me.”
Stachis shifted his steps towards the room.
The other three women also followed him.
– Knocked up. Profit.
Visit was held.
Starches was surprised.
A tidy room greeted him.
‘Oh right. Did you clean the room?’
He was surprised even though he had cleaned it up himself.
It was quite a new environment for Stachis, who had always been used to dirty rooms.
But Starchis wasn’t the only one surprised.
Three party members entered the room and looked around.
“S, Starchis!! Why is the room so clean!”
Bien, who hadn’t even said hello, suddenly had a seizure and asked Stachis.
Starchis pondered again.
‘I cleaned it up because I had time left.’
To say,
‘Hey, did you have a break? Don’t stop and meet me!’
It seemed to hear the answer.
Starchis, unable to miss his resting place his, put his guardian angel in front.
“My girlfriend cleaned it up.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Lily slumped helplessly on her bed, and Russ collapsed in her chair.
Bien stood tall.
“Have you already… Brought it home?”
It was Russ.
Starchis thought about her words.
‘Was it a little unnatural? Ey, but what do I do with what I already spit out?’
“Well… That’s how it happened.”
I thought Russ would find out if I met her eyes her, so I turned her head and replied.
“Guys, what would you like to drink?”
Lily muttered on the bed.
“…Is it?…Is it so?…What is it?”
“… Sister, what’s going on?”
Lily is taken aback by Stachis’ words to her.
“Oh, no.”
This time, beside her, Bien mumbles.
“… I didn’t let you take out the trash…”
Starchis seemed to be losing his mind already.
‘Why are you muttering all this? By the way, when is Bien talking about?’
Starchis searched through her memories of her and eventually asked Vien.
“Bien, when are you talking about?”
“The day I asked to go to an orphanage! When I tried to clean it up at dawn!”
Starchis remembered only then.
‘Ah, then?’
It was because it seemed like shameful trash would come out that Bien didn’t want to find out.
But even this cannot be said truthfully.
Vienne screamed this time.
“I told you not to touch your things, it’s uncomfortable!”
It’s time to call on your guardian angel once again.
When you’re a bit at a disadvantage.
She smiled and told her.
Lightly as a joke.
“Ah, Bien. Are you and my girlfriend the same?”
