Chapter 77 – After Night Festival
‘Ugh.’
Elena doesn’t like the current situation.
The after-night festival that follows National Foundation Day.
She wanted to spend time alone with Do-jin, but Do-jin, who wanted to give a small reward to her hard-working employees, invited all of her employees to his house and threw a party.
A house.
A house!
Is it really necessary to have a party at home?
There’s a bar across the street, and there are so many shops that rent space at Huyase, so why bother using it as a house?
‘Coming to the store manager’s house was a special experience for me.’
How difficult was it for me to get into this room, but for other people to find it so easy? …
She closed her eyes tightly.
It’s different anyway.
Dojin’s house today and the house she visited yesterday were definitely different.
Okay. Are you okay? Because I had a special night with the store manager.
It’s okay up to this point thanks to a lot of people watching.
But that Lila.
‘That old Druid woman keeps hitting the store manager with her tail.’
Something like holding the store manager’s hand and secretly whispering in her ear.
She covered her hand with her mouth and laughed in front of the store manager for no reason.
There were more than one fox act that Elena saw.
“Why don’t you know? “The store manager.”
Are you pretending not to know?
“Elena what’s going on? “You don’t look good?”
“Silvia Sister…”
Elena sobbed while hugging Sylvia’s chest.
“The manager doesn’t play with me… Lila keeps trying to get the manager’s attention.”
“Really?”
Elena saw.
In a short moment, Sylvia shows how to live.
The look in her eyes that glared at Lila and held her murderous spirit was fierce.
Are you getting so angry for me?
After all, there is only Sylvia.
And at that time, Dojin heard the doorbell and went out to the front door.
“Huh?”
Everyone present took a deep breath.
“Woe, princess?”
“Hwa, meet the princess!”
Everyone who was enjoying the home party held at Dojin’s house bowed their heads as soon as they saw the new guest.
Princess? Princess Chloe?
You came again? At a staff party?
“I’m sorry for coming to you so suddenly. Did it get in your way?”
“Not at all!”
Robinson shouted.
That dull brother. I have to say it feels burdensome here.
That way I would have given up and gone.
“Thank goodness.”
It was clear that they had come to target the store manager.
The woman’s senses warned her.
Now Chloe is her enemy.
“Ugh.”
It was the moment when all plans to have a sweet after-evening party with the store manager were cancelled.
‘I can never give in.’
Elena bit her lip tightly and steeled her resolve.
I will definitely end up taking the seat next to Dojin today.
She made a promise.
***
A sudden visit from the princess.
It was a little embarrassing, but it wasn’t completely unexpected.
‘I just didn’t know it would come.’
Two escort knights followed her.
The escort drivers are also women.
These are probably the ones deployed to escort her to her specialty.
“But was it okay? Even for the princess, traveling at night would have been difficult.”
“I came out before the ban went into effect, so it’s okay. Safe, safe.”
She chuckled and clung to me.
“Now that the ban is in place, she can’t go out… I don’t have a room like other part-time workers…”
“Excuse me!”
However, Chloe’s words were interrupted by Elena who interrupted her.
Chloe’s eyes turned cold.
“Elena?”
“Manager, you should get a drink.”
“Suddenly drinking?”
“You don’t want to eat it? “We all had a drink now.”
“Elena, you didn’t drink it either, right?”
“I didn’t drink it. Hehe. Someone has to be sober.”
I was appalled.
Elena, who is weak at drinking, didn’t know what would happen if she drank for no reason.
“Okay. You don’t drink And then an accident happens.”
“If it’s an accident, what kind of accident is it?”
With her playful smile on her face, Elena pressed her chest close.
“Elena, calm down.”
“Why. “We spent a long night here.”
He whispered in a voice so low that even I, who was close to him, couldn’t hear.
Although she pretended to be very deadly, her ears were as bright red as if they had been painted.
Chloe’s face pouted at the sight of Elena.
There, from a little distance away, Lila was covering her mouth, muttering her words.
“It’s not something to talk about here. Elena.”
“Pi.”
It wasn’t easy.
Did I invite you to my house for no reason?
A change of atmosphere was needed.
If I continue like this, I will die from the backlash of the two women.
“Would you all like to have a drink?”
“Oh, are you following along?”
Robinson, who sensed my intention, shouted loudly.
“Of course.”
“Good!”
Robinson, whose face was red as if he had already had one drink, chuckled.
The sound of clicking tongues was heard from both sides at the same time.
I could feel the fight between Elena and Chloe.
I tried my best to ignore it.
“Kuhumhum, then will you receive it from Sand, our new employee?”
“Thank you! Boss!”
“You can’t give alcohol to minors, so I’ll give you a drink instead.”
“It’s okay!”
I poured a cola for Sandro, who shouted bravely.
It was a shame that I couldn’t give them expensive wine that costs several hundred gold a bottle, but there will be a chance someday.
A glass of wine for Robinson, a glass of wine for Dmitry, a glass of wine for Sylvia…
“We worked hard this National Day too. Sylvia. Congratulations on your readmission to the academy. This after-night party was held for you, so enjoy it without any pressure. “Don’t stop eating just to save money.”
She especially suffered a lot.
In order to earn tuition for the academy, I came out almost non-stop every day this National Day.
In fact, this was also her place for her.
It’s a reward for working every day without a break during National Foundation Day, and now if you enroll in the academy, your commute time will be greatly reduced.
Before that, there was a need to prepare a place to commemorate her admission to the academy.
Welfare for employees must be guaranteed. Mmmm.
“Manager.”
Sylvia, who received the wine, looked up at me.
“What’s going on?”
“I’m going back to the academy starting next month.”
“Yes.”
“Then I guess I won’t be able to see you often, store manager? “The number of days to go to work is also decreasing.”
“Don’t worry. I’ll take care of all that. “You don’t have to worry about the cost.”
“That’s not it.”
Silvia closed her mouth, delaying her speech.
Muck, muck.
Silvia pursed her lips and let out a sigh.
“What? What is it?”
“I have something to confess.”
“Confession? What? Did you say you won’t go to the academy? Then no. There aren’t many opportunities like this.”
“It’s not like that.”
Sylvia glanced towards Elena.
Her eyes were full of hesitation.
What is it?
Concerns and concerns.
Everyone’s eyes focused on Sylvia’s mouth.
If it were like this, it would be harder to talk.
“Silvia, what’s going on?”
Elena asked cautiously. She also had a feeling that Sylvia’s condition was not that good.
Sylvia quietly faced Elena.
At that moment, the air became quiet.
I even felt like I was in the center of the eye of a typhoon.
“… No. “Nothing.”
“…”
Sylvia didn’t say anything.
However, it was not difficult for her to catch the meaning of those words.
I may be overly self-conscious.
I was able to infer that Sylvia also liked me.
Elena noticed it, and Chloe also noticed it.
Everyone in the room knew.
“Sorry. I made the atmosphere heavy for no reason. When I tried to go to the academy, I felt depressed for no reason. Sorry. Haha.”
Sylvia smiles awkwardly.
I accepted the smile.
“You can do that. I feel uneasy. Don’t be too afraid because we are cheering you on. Those guys at the academy are all no big deal. Sylvia, you know that, right?”
“Of course.”
I poured wine for both Elena and Chloe.
In particular, Elena was looking at Sylvia with her betrayed face.
“The timing of my arrival was not good.”
Chloe shrugged her shoulders.
I smiled awkwardly.
She is not at fault.
I am the one to kill.
Lastly, I poured wine for Lila.
“As expected, you are a popular man. Hehe.”
She showed no signs of jealousy.
Rather, I was watching this situation with interesting eyes.
Did you read my eyes?
“Druids are just like animals. There is no problem with a strong male owning multiple females at the same time. So it’s fun to watch.”
Because I already belong to you.
Lila’s last whispered words led me to guess that this party, which was on the brink of death, was about to fall into chaos.
Finally, after filling up my glass, I looked at the people attending the party.
“Now, let’s all have a drink.”
“Cheers! Great! Haha! On this great day, why not have a toast again? Would you like to do it?”
Robinson made a fuss by overing in an attempt to somehow raise the mood.
Anyway, it would be better if I did it myself.
“Lord Dojin, may I make a toast? Even though she is a guest, I think she is fully qualified as a princess.”
I was anxious.
I felt pain like scratching my chest with a needle.
She even thought that if she left the toast to her, something would happen.
However, she could not refuse the princess’s formal offer.
Now she is not Chloe, but is officially participating as the princess of the empire.
In some ways, he was the person who should be prioritized here.
“All right. “Please give the toast.”
“Thank you. Lord Dojin.”
Chloe smiled softly and took a step forward.
“I’m glad I attended a fascinating event today. Everyone at DG Convenience Store worked hard during National Foundation Day. As the princess of the empire, I hope DG Convenience Store prospers further in the future.”
She was an ordinary toast speaker.
The moment when she feels relieved and touches her heart.
“Originally I wasn’t going to say anything, but I have to announce it. “I feel like if I stay like this, someone else will attack me.”
Announcement?
What announcement?
I looked at Chloe with a puzzled face.
“Chloe Oville Ron Leo Rasing Valere Imperion, formally proposes to Lord Dojin Kim to betroth her to his original wife.”
“Yes?”
“Woe, princess.”
The women who came as escorts also looked at Chloe in confusion.
Everyone at the scene was looking at only one place.
Except for one person, Chloe.
“Lord Dojin, I adore you.”
The answer came from the other side.
“No!”
It was Elena.
She was glaring at Chloe with a light in her eyes.
“Never! No! “I can’t admit it!”
