Chapter 85 – Barefoot Stronghold (8)
Starchis was finally waiting for the party members.
The work took longer than expected.
Get everything ready and invite
I thought we would be able to celebrate, congratulate, and have a good time,
There were many things to prepare to form the base,
There were a few things to replace.
Marshall, who knew that the base had been created, was busy at his commissioning station, so Starchis had no choice but to do all of this alone.
I don’t know who is foolish,
As Starchis, change his property
Because it was a gift for party members,
He did not want to receive help from others, especially from party members.
I wanted them to just be surprised and enjoy it.
Besides, I wanted to free my left hand that had been hardened.
Thanks to Lily, I moved from time to time
I’ve been doing a lot of massage too.
Still, there was not a dull feeling.
So many things to do and
A little awkward and stiff hands come together
It took a long time.
Rose came up first and asked him when it would be over, so they seemed to have suppressed their desire to celebrate the good news that his hand had healed.
Starchis took care of himself after a long time.
It was a special day.
There were many things to celebrate.
Besides, my friends decided to celebrate his birthday his too.
I thought it was nothing before, but
Congratulations on being born into this world
I felt an unpleasant feeling.
“…”
He squatted outside the base from an hour earlier than the appointed time.
I was looking forward to seeing his friends after a long time.
To watch people pass by,
A noticeable person approached from afar.
It’s a common color, but that hair and body shape are uncommon.
It was Rose.
She came over and talked to him.
“…Hello.”
“…Hi, Rose.”
It was awkward.
Aside from the fact that there was a slight quarrel when parting in the carriage,
Even in the letter, Starchis tried to distance himself.
Starchis didn’t have feelings for Rose either.
He himself did not know,
There were pains she felt pushing her away.
Her appearance meant Starchis had to continue to feel pain and sorry,
Rose ignored her wounds her and meant she was sincere enough to come back to him.
He didn’t know what to say.
His own position was communicated in his carriage and through his letters.
Seeing him face to face again didn’t change anything.
My benefactor, Hian, was so worried and begged me, and I was sorry.
She couldn’t bear to betray him.
“…Sorry.”
In the end, he had nothing to say but apologize.
“…What?”
She asks.
“Yes?”
“What are you sorry about?”
“…Not being able to accept it.”
“Don’t be sorry. There’s no reason to feel sorry for not accepting your confession.”
“…”
“I’m rather sorry.”
“Uh..?”
Stachis asked as he got up from his seat.
“Why are you sorry. There is nothing to be sorry for.”
“No, it’s because I’m going to be sorry in the future.”
“What are you talking about?”
She took a step closer and hugged him.
It was sudden.
“…I’m going to take advantage of being a false girlfriend.”
“…Rose..!”
He tried to push her away
There was no strength in his hands.
Her protest was sweet,
Her hair was soft against her body.
“Even if you don’t like it, you’ll still be like this. You’re a real lover in front of the party members, aren’t you?”
“…That..”
Starchis gritted his teeth to overcome his emotions.
“Stop it..!”
He forcibly grabs her by the shoulder and rips it off her.
Rose was unconcerned.
“It’s okay. Keep pushing. Don’t be sorry. Let’s see who wins.”
“…Starchis?”
At that moment, a familiar voice is heard.
Rose is also started and falls away from Starchis.
It was Bien.
It wasn’t right next door
I was at a distance where I could overhear the conversation.
****
Vien could see Stachis and Elzain in the distance.
‘… Ha…’
Again, it’s the beginning of the melancholy.
Bienne said that she had no particular prejudice against the aristocracy,
She was about to come alive.
Wealthy people add up,
Even people are greedy.
You can meet and enjoy the nobles,
Why is he so greedy for Stachis, a commoner?
You want to take what you can never give up.
The two were having a conversation.
Starchis’ expression didn’t look so good.
At that moment, Elsaine hugged Stachis.
“…”
The love affair between the two made Bien feel more heavy on her heart.
If there’s anything I’ve noticed at dinner
In the future, we will see such behavior to the fullest.
I am madly angry, but
You just have to clear your head and pass it on.
Only then could he survive.
At that time, Stachis showed a puzzled expression.
He tried to push her away.
However, Elsaine clung to him and did not fall off.
“What..”
She unknowingly speeds on her feet her.
Her heart her aches, but you need to know what’s going on
It seemed that the texture would be released.
“…-Do it!”
Starchis forcibly pushing Elzain away
Seemed
Thump. Thump.
My heart beats again on its own.
Bienne said she didn’t think she was a good person, but
That said, she is not the type to enjoy other people’s tragedies.
I didn’t like seeing someone fighting or having a hard time.
But for some reason, when Stachis and Elzain appeared to be fighting
A sense of relief came up.
By any chance, wouldn’t the two of us break up even if we stayed still?
Is it not necessary to do bad things and catch Elsaine’s weakness her and twist it?
Doesn’t she have to take her Starchis away from her?
Many thoughts come to mind.
“…Starchis.”
Let’s get closer to the range where you can hear the voice
Bien called him.
“…Bien.. Wow, are you here?”
He answers.
Bien feels the current flowing between Stachis and Elzain
She asked impatiently.
“…Did you two fight?”
I hoped he would approve.
Stachis clears his throat before replying.
“…No, what are you fighting for?”
“It’s a fight.”
Elzain said as she crossed her arms with Stachis.
“…It’s not like that.”
“…”
Bien almost missed her chest aching, but
I saw Stachis’s eyes awkwardly return to Elzain.
‘It must have been a fight.’
Vienne thought with her eyes trembling.
A gust of wind blew into Vien’s chest.
“By the way, long time no see Vien.”
“Ah..! That… Yes.”
Bien nods her head.
Apart from fighting, there was something I was curious about.
“..So, what about your hands?”
“Look.”
He raised his left hand and waved his fingers.
Naturally, a smile spread across Vien’s face his.
Then, haha, she said, grabbing her lost face her.
“…That’s good.”
“Thanks to your medicine, Vienne. Thank you.”
“…Buy me a meal later.”
“I’ll buy it for you, BNC.”
Elsaine intervenes.
Bien crumpled her expression.
“…I didn’t ask you.”
“Then you want to eat alone with my boyfriend?”
“…Why is that?”
“… Starchis, what are you going to do..?”
Rose asks Stachis.
He can’t help but side with her girlfriend her.
“…Let’s do something other than rice, Bien.”
‘…Cee..!’
Cirit-Bien casts her stinging gaze at Elzain.
I was annoyed.
If it was him, she would have done anything.
She would still want to do that, but she couldn’t because of Elza.
On the other hand, Rose endured Vienne’s glare.
Sorry, but she didn’t want to give up the starches.
“By the way, Bien, did you dress up?”
Starchis turned around.
I refused to return a favor
It was a compliment she made to ease her mind a bit.
“… Me?”
Rose interjects.
Of course,
It was beautiful.
It may have been more so because of the correction in my heart.
She is in her position rejecting her, but
Because she didn’t hate it.
“How about me?”
Rose continued to ask insistently.
Every time she looked at her, she saw Stachis’ cheeks her slightly reddening,
She seemed to be asking after already giving an answer.
“I’m not very pretty, so I won’t answer.”
Vienne muttered and attacked Rose.
Rose looks for something to say to Vienne for a moment, then she says.
“…Well, it doesn’t matter. Starches are mine.”
Bien realizes only then.
It couldn’t be a fight
No matter what you say, in the end the winner is Elsaine.
Bien wanted to ask about her secret her, which she had found out.
It seemed that only then would he be able to shut that babbling Elzain’s mouth.
No, not even Elsaine.
Rose Nicety.
I want to punch her in the head.
“…Ahaha..”
Stachis laughed awkwardly at Elzain’s words.
Bien sensed a strange feeling in her that she had felt in her infancy once again.
That feeling she pretends to be good with after a fight.
Seeing Starchis push Elzain away,
The mistake was on Elza’s side.
‘Yes, of course.’
No matter what, Rosnisti is an aristocrat.
No matter how much she tried to fit in
She will have a savage side and a greedy side.
She couldn’t have been a good match for Starchis.
He had to treat Starchis like his own servant his, but he would be satisfied.
Bienne began to think in her own favor her.
She may have just imagined it as she wished.
Still, once
I need to give Rose Nicety a shot
She seemed relieved.
Her most important cards are hidden behind her back her.
Show the cards you can show,
She also wanted to check the reaction.
Bien speaks slowly.
“…Oh right.”
The attention of Elzain and Stachis is drawn.
“…Someone came to our church a few days ago?”
Bien also carefully observed the reaction of the two this time.
A single facial muscle, eye movement,
To the movement of the uvula.
“But Starchis doesn’t like you. Hian is an aristocrat. Know?”
