Chapter 46 – Usually, Things Like This Are Handled by the Person Who Committed the Crime. Hey.
‘Ugh, I feel like I’m going to die of embarrassment.’
Elena was so panicked that she couldn’t even tell what expression she was making.
It was nice that Sylvia made room for her and went for a walk to the nearby park with her store manager.
As she walked, talking to each other about various things, she thought.
‘It can’t go on like this.’
This is a place created by Sylvia.
It would have been difficult for her to work alone, no matter how flexible the hours were, so she set aside time to be with her manager.
I can’t be timid forever.
‘Because Sylvia said that there are a lot of people targeting the store manager.’
I don’t know who that is, but Elena has no clue about this type of thing.
‘I won’t lose this fight.’
Because, as her part-time worker, she has her own strength of working with her Dojin in the closest place.
She thought she could win.
So Elena, despite her shame, placed her breasts under the manager’s arm.
But when she actually finished it, she felt like she was going to die of shame.
The feel of Dojin’s strong forearm between her breasts was vivid.
Was it Oba who put his arm around her chest?
Did you do it for no reason?
Should she have approached a little slower?
Elena had many thoughts in her mind.
She regretted it and consoled herself by saying that she had no other choice.
To be honest, facing Dojin now was already at her limit.
The corners of her eyes were strained as she tried not to look away.
Dojin, who was facing her, cleared her throat and turned her head.
“Yes, it’s pretty.”
Dojin’s reply that she was pretty.
How much she wanted to hear that one word.
The power in Elena’s face disappeared, and she smiled.
“Is it so? Where are you going? “What’s so pretty about me?”
“Well, you have a pretty face.”
“Is it so? Really? Hehe, I feel embarrassed when you say things like that.”
It seems like it worked.
Her special technique of crossing her arms over her chest worked.
Otherwise, the store manager, who always kept his composure, wouldn’t have been so embarrassed.
‘It must have worked a little bit, right? Do you want to see me as a woman now?’
Elena was always dissatisfied with that.
Dojin treats himself like a child.
No matter how young she was when she was first brought to him.
She is now a full-fledged adult who has even had a coming-of-age ceremony.
She couldn’t be treated like a child forever.
In order to get closer to the store manager.
‘Here I have to show that I am an adult.’
Elena bit her lip and looked at Dojin.
Her face also turned slightly red, and she cleared her throat one after another.
“Hmm.”
Her head was dizzy.
I didn’t know Elena would approach me like this.
No matter how much you think I am like a close uncle.
How can you be so defenseless against a man?
It is against the law to cross your arms over your chest and look up.
‘Calm down. Kim Do-jin. The opponent is Elena. ‘It’s Elena.’
I calmed down my junior who was trying to show his presence without notice.
Even though Elena is a virgin, she reacts like this just by crossing her arms for a moment.
It’s good to be healthy, but aren’t you showing off too much?
Calm down.
What are you doing with Elena?
The other person is Elena, whom you cherish like your own sister!
‘Of course it’s beautiful.’
It’s not because I was raised somehow.
Even if you look at it objectively, it’s pretty.
How amazing is it that knights and nobles confessed all the time?
I cut it all off, but she was that beautiful.
Someone who was too close to feel it.
“It’s so pretty, so be careful.”
“Yes?”
“Men covet you. It would be difficult to ignore something like that.”
Hehe, I know.”
“It’s a little bit ironic to say that I know.”
After hesitating for a moment, Elena wiggled her hands and opened her mouth.
“Actually, there is someone I have in mind.”
“What?”
What does that mean?
“Elena, there’s a guy you’re interested in?”
“Yes.”
She nodded her head.
What kind of bastard is this?
What kind of guy stole her heart?
I thought about the customers who came to the convenience store.
Among them, I selected people who were good people and had good personalities.
‘Could it be one of the knights of the Imperial Palace?’
‘No. Other than those guys, is it the bard who often talks to Elena?’
I don’t know.
You may not be a frequent customer of the convenience store.
My head was complicated.
She promised herself that if a man who caught Elena’s attention came, she would fully accept him, but when it happened, her hair turned white.
“Who, who, who is it?”
I stuttered without realizing it.
“Uh, uh, what kind of guy is so good?”
Elena, who was looking at me closely, smiled again and closed her mouth.
“It’s a secret~.”
“Elena, is this what you should do?”
“You should never say that~. “You have to keep it in your mind without saying anything.”
She couldn’t bring herself to say it that far.
The person she likes is the store manager.
When she said those words, she wasn’t sure that her store manager would give her a positive answer.
She was obviously embarrassed to hear that there was a guy she liked, but it wasn’t jealousy.
It was similar to the reaction her father had when he heard that his daughter had a boyfriend.
A little lighter than that.
Yes, it was similar to my older brother’s reaction.
‘I already think of the store manager as family.’
Although she was happy, she wanted the relationship to be more special.
So she said it was a secret.
If I confess here, I think it will lead us farther apart.
Because once words are spoken, they cannot be taken back.
‘I had a similar reaction when I crossed my arms over my chest.’
A reaction like a brother who is embarrassed by his younger sibling’s cuteness.
‘I think I need to get a little closer.’
I couldn’t get it if I stayed still, so I had to keep appealing.
Still, it didn’t mean there was no harvest at all.
Although she said she thought they were family, Do-jin was clearly taken aback by her approach.
This was a different reaction from when other women approached him.
‘The store manager didn’t mind even when the magistrate’s sisters and noble sisters approached her.’
But she was different.
It was clear that Dojin cared about her.
That’s enough.
This is a sufficient harvest.
‘Let’s keep getting closer.’
There was still enough time.
She decided to go on a date with Do-jin on National Foundation Day, so she can take advantage of that time.
We will continue to appeal before National Day to get people to notice. So that Do-jin falls in love with her.
You can’t just sit by her side and expect her to look after you.
‘They said the number of women targeting the store manager is increasing.’
So Elena had to move too.
“Elena?”
She was so determined that she couldn’t even hear Dojin calling her.
***
After returning from a walk with Elena, I couldn’t concentrate on work because of many thoughts.
“Why are you doing this, manager?”
“Huh?”
“Why are you acting like a soulless person?”
“No. “Nothing.”
I roughly responded to Dmitry’s words.
In fact, there were too many shocking things today.
Also, my lower body reacted to Elena.
Also, she has a guy she likes.
There was a lot of shocking content in many ways.
I felt ashamed of myself.
What should I do if I find out who Elena likes?
Are you going to visit me and slap me?
Otherwise, Elena likes you, so be nice to her. What are you trying to say like this?
It’s not like that.
‘It’s not like the little boy is jealous.’
Jealousy?
That’s funny.
I’m just doing it because I’m worried.
I wonder if she gets caught by a strange man.
“Phew, that’s it. “Let’s not think about it anymore.”
Just thinking about it makes my head hurt.
Just bless her for the best with the man she likes.
“Whoa.”
“Are you okay now?”
“Okay. It’s okay.”
“Ah, that’s a relief. By the way, thank you for taking the day off yesterday. Thanks to that, for the first time in a long time, I was able to wander the streets of the Empire at night without any worries.”
As I looked at Dmitry smiling brightly, I asked him.
Today’s day.
The druid I saw at the bank.
She said she was definitely a druid who lived in Duvel Forest.
All the energy of the forest has been sucked out, leaving the body unable to properly produce milk.
She said her name was Leela.
She expressed her gratitude to me and gifted me a mysteriously glowing leaf.
She gave the leaves, which even felt warm and powerful, as a thank-you gift and left for the Duvel Forest where she originally lived.
I was worried for no reason.
The Duvel Forest cannot be restored right away.
It won’t be easy to recover.
“Hey, Dmitry. “The Duvel Forest you destroyed.”
“Yes.”
“Can we put it back to the way it was?”
The guy who was thinking deeply with his chin shook his head.
“There is no other way. “I just wait for time to tell.”
“I see.”
In that case, the druid must continue to come to the empire to get milk.
“Was there anything strange when you absorbed vital energy?”
“Are you talking about something strange? Hmm… There were beings that periodically disturbed the magic circle. I ignored it because its power was beyond me. What’s going on?”
It seemed like what the druid said was true.
It is said that the spirit was taken away from the Duvel Forest, and it was no longer possible to produce milk.
“You need to take some responsibility.”
“… Yes?”
Normally, things like this are handled by the person who committed the crime. Dude.
