Chapter 79 – 5.5 Rachel, a Lonely Woman in the City Dreaming of a Sweet Reunion

– Trudge

After washing up in a good mood, I uncovered the bedspread, closed my eyes for a while, and came down to the dining room. I took a break for a while, but it was to pass the time while eating until Rachel returned to the inn.

– Male voice male voice

“Did you hear yesterday?”

“I heard you. I wondered if that was the sound coming out of a person’s mouth.”

“Use it… That’s about it…”

At a table in the middle, three stout men chatted loudly enough for everyone in the restaurant to hear. Seeing the sinister expression and hand gestures, it seemed as if he was talking about Rachel and I’s affair yesterday.

– Quaang!

“Can you stop talking loudly in the morning?”

Sophie brought food from the kitchen and set the plate down on the table with a bang. Slightly splashing sauce and scraps of food, the men stared at Sophie, but laughed at Sophie’s face, who opened her ax eyes and gnashed her teeth, scratched her head and apologized.

“M-I’m sorry.”

“Were we a little noisy?”

“Let’s eat rice, it must be delicious.”

“It’s like a star. Joy.”

Sophie turned her head proudly and strode towards the kitchen and our eyes met. Sophie, who had flowing brown hair, was startled, dyed her delicate face red, and nodded, covering her upper body with a tray.

“Oh, hello.”

“Good morning.”

When I nodded, Sophie bowed her head in the same way and ran to the kitchen with a gun. I scratched his head as I ran away as if I was being chased and sat down in any available seat.

“Ugh… Well…”

While I was waiting blankly banging on the table, someone called me in a small voice next to me. Sophie bowed her head and held out the menu to me with a hesitant look. Nodding her head, she read the menu and Pizza Sophie stood next to her and waited for her order to be placed.

“Today’s recommended menu, please.”

Receiving the menu, I recited the name with a big mark on the front page. Yes yes! Sophie took the menu and ran to the kitchen.

“What’s wrong with that bitch?”

“I was very excited.”

I could hear the men clicking their tongues and murmuring behind me, but I pretended not to hear and tapped the table and waited. When Rachel comes, I have to go to the village after finishing everything, and when I go to the village, I have to go to meet Minerva. I had a lot to ask and I had to give back.

When I was immersed in my own thoughts, Sophie, holding a plate with the sound of footsteps, came running with a red face. Sophie stopped in front of the table with a hurried step that made her think she might fall over, and put down her plate.

“Hmm…”

Our recommendation is grilled whole chicken leg topped with steaming herbs and served with mashed potato salad. Personally, I like chicken, so I nodded. After saying hello to Sophie, I raised my fork.

– Nod

After greeting me, Sophie ran to the counter and kept her seat while looking at me. I wondered why he was behaving like a dog, but I soon stopped caring and ate.

– My daughter and daughter

“Welcome, oh sister!”

By the time I finished eating the chicken legs and put my fork down on the empty plate, I heard Sophie’s bright voice as the door opened with the sound of a bell. The chattering men also closed their mouths for a moment and stared blankly at Rachel as she entered the inn with her smile on her body cape flapping.

“Sophie, I told you to pack your things.”

“Where is my baggage, all I need is my body!”

“Mourning Cha-am-Ah, Lord, Mr. Cassano.”

Rachel, who had pouted her lips and scolded Sophie, smiled brightly and ran towards me. Stopping in front of me with the sound of boots, Rachel saw her swipe plate and she clung to it with a friendly smile.

“How was your meal? Was it delicious?”

“Yes, because I like chicken.”

“Ah, what did he say…?”

I was laughing and talking to Rachel when a voice I had never heard before suddenly interrupted our conversation. I looked around and found out that Rachel had been hidden when she entered earlier, but someone else had also entered.

“Ah yes. Mr Cassano? This is the person who will buy our inn.”

As soon as Rachel’s introduction was over, a sad blond man reached out to her. Holding his hand with a smile on my face, I shook his hand with a little force.

“Hmm…! Then follow the procedure and we will pay the price right away. Are the conditions unchanged?”

The man withdrew his hand, slightly frowning at my prank, and hid his hand behind his back, asking Rachel about the sale of the inn. Rachel nodded and pointed at her inn, telling the man to take a look.

“Please hire the employees as they are, and I will only take Sophie. Then can we go right now?”

“Yes, you can go to our guild branch to receive the payment. I will look around the inn.”

I glanced at the two of them as they were discussing mysterious business, and sneaked up behind Rachel. When she finished talking, Rachel smiled and took me by the arms and slowly dragged me along.

“I just need to pack my things and leave. Sophie, that child has no luggage?”

“I will listen. Where is Rachel’s room?”

“Come with me- I have some more things to take care of. Hey, Sophie? Please look at the guest from the side. I’ll just pack my things and leave!”

“Yes-“

Leaving behind Sophie’s lively reply, we headed to Rachel’s room. Rachel’s room was desolate except for a closet with a huge amount of clothes. In a room furnished with only the necessary furniture, I packed all of her junk and clothes, put them all in the expansion bag Rachel had brought, and put them on her shoulders.

“It worked. Even use this.”

I was slightly surprised at her weight, which seemed to have a pretty good magic, and I looked at Rachel and complimented her. In response to my compliment, Rachel was shy but said it as if it were natural.

“Because I had a lot of money. I got a lot more lucky than I thought.”

After coming out of Rachel’s room chatting, we’re still guests, are we innkeepers now? I called Sophie, who was the owner’s guide. Sophie, who had been called, followed the two of us out of the inn with only one basket, as if she really had nothing.

– My daughter and my daughter

“Haa… I’m really going.”

Sophie sighed and looked sadly at the inn sign. She said that she had been by Rachel’s side and helped her since she set up her inn. Unlike Rachel, who seemed to be free, Sophie was more regretful, and her eyes looked sorrowful.

“Sophie, are you sorry?”

Rachel, who couldn’t take her eyes off her old Sophie as she was taking care of her little brother, patted her downcast Sophie on the back to soothe her. I couldn’t easily sympathize with the sad parts of the women, but I knew that if I made a mistake, I would be pushed around and cursed at, so I closed my mouth and watched the two of them.

-Jerbuck Jerbuck

“They say there are new encounters in new places.”

“Still, Mrs. Randy and Mr. Hobbs have been so nice to me…”

“They both have families in this city. Huh?”

Looking back to the end, she decided to take a step back and watch Rachel, who chattered next to Sophie, who was saddened, and headed to her upper branch to get the payment.

-With my daughter

“Welcome.”

The receptionist bowed her head toward the three entering the branch, and a woman dressed neatly in a sky blue uniform looked at Rachel with a smile and said,

“What business did you visit?”

“I want to get paid.”

Rachel held out her hand with a proof of something, and the receptionist’s eyes widened slightly before she lowered her head once more and opened her mouth.

“First, I will check with the branch manager and pay the bill. Could you please wait a moment?”

“Yes.”

“Yes.”

The receptionist walked into the room with gunfire, and I sat down on a chair attached to the wall and looked at Rachel. Rachel, who was sitting next to me with a beautiful smile, avoiding Sophie’s eyes, put her hand on my thigh and spoke affectionately.

“When this is over, it’s all sorted out, so let’s go back.”

“Yes, I had a hard time.”

“No, hehe, are you bored?”

Did you get that tea? I shook my head in embarrassment and looked around the branch.

“No. There are many strange things. Wow~”

At Tina’s smoke, Rachel covered her mouth with her hand and slapped my thigh with a chuckle. At the sound of her flesh ringing, Sophie pricked her ears and glanced at us, and Rachel, feeling Sophie’s gaze, removed her hand and clung to Sophie.

“But are you really going to be okay? Even if you follow me…”

“If it weren’t for my sister, I wouldn’t have had a proper job in this city anyway. Those mercenaries who have nothing to do just go around spreading rumors-“

I’m not lighthearted, is it a sin to rush towards love? Rachel, who was looking at her chattering Sophie with friendly eyes, took her handkerchief and wiped Sophie’s mouth as she vomited.

“He’s- what a lady is.”

“I am Cha-am-“

Watching the relationship between her eldest sister and her youngest brother, but also like her mother and daughter, I tapped Rachel’s shoulder at the sound of footsteps I heard faintly. Rachel also took her eyes off her Sophie and turned her gaze to the door the receptionist had entered, and she was immediately seated by her receptionist holding a pocket the size of her fist and placing it on her reception desk.

“Here it is.”

– Jjallang

Grabbing her pocket, Rachel put her hand in and counted her gold coins, then bowed her head in greeting.

“Thank you.”

“No, thank you for using our branch. Look carefully.”

“Yes.”

-With my daughter~

“What, how much is it?”

Beside her, Sophie, who watched with greedy eyes as Rachel counted with her hands, breathed heavily and clung to Rachel. Rachel smiled bitterly and slipped her pockets into her purse.

“About 30 gold coins?”

“Wow- Wow- Awesome.”

“Are you going to give me that much?”

Rachel said, avoiding her eyes, as if she was embarrassed when she was surprised at Rachel’s unexpected skills, saying that the first gold coin Rachel brought to the city was less than 5, but it was a six-fold gain.

“I met a good person and got cheap ingredients and land, and what I received this much will be the price of passing on the connections I had with me when I ran the inn.”

Rachel glanced at me shyly but with her head lowered. She was cute and scratched her chin lightly. Rachel, who enjoyed being touched like a purring cat, soon realized Sophie’s gaze on her and put her hand away, but it was too late for her.

“Since you know we already have a relationship like that, can we do it openly?”

“Oh…”

Avoiding Sophie’s mischievous smile, Rachel lowered her head as her face blushed. I pulled the shy Rachel into a hug and held out her hand to Sophie as well.

“Let’s move at once. I’m going to write the order, so please hold her hand.”

“Yes yes.”

Embarrassed, Sophie reached out and grabbed hers mine. I stroked my slightly rough palm with my fingers, as if I had done a lot of chores, and with my free hand I took out the order book from my bosom and pierced it with my thumb and drew it. Soon, the three of us’ bodies shook and our vision changed in an instant.

-Hoo-wook

“Ugh, I’m dizzy…”

“Something feels strange…”

The two of them who used the order book for the first time were dizzy and struggled, but I was fine after adapting to some extent. I grabbed Rachel, who couldn’t control her body, and after waiting for her to adjust, I took the two of them to Tsuruka’s house.

– Trudge trudge

Sophie, who made eye contact with the glancing beasts, lowered her head and asked Rachel.

“Wow, I’m a real beast…!”

“So, Mr. Cassano is the chief of this village?”

“But don’t you two like each other? Why do you call me Mr. So hard?”

“Oh, Sophie is really…”

Arriving at Tsuruka’s house with the two following them while chatting, I opened the door and entered the house. Unlike the empty entrance, judging from the buzzing atmosphere and the sense of presence, it seemed that people were gathered in Tsuruka’s office.

– Squeak squeak

Climbing up the weeping stairs to the second floor, I knocked on the door of Tsuruka’s office, leaving Rachel and Sophie waiting.

-Smart

[Please come in.]

As soon as he knocked on the door, permission came from inside the room along with Tsuruka’s cold voice. I gave a hand signal to the two of them to wait and opened the door. After recognizing the identity of the person in the room, I finally realized the reason for Tsuruka’s voice being cold.

“Wow, are you here? You?”

Embarrassed by the hostility without reason, Sierra knocked on the desk and greeted me with a smile when she saw my face. And Tsuruka, who was glaring at Sierra with her cold expression, looked at Sierra greeting me and hardened her face even more.

“You are here. West.”

The golden tail, which had always been swaying, was swollen and protruded, and looking at the stiff tail, as if the venom had risen, I could feel Tsuruka’s annoyance at first glance.

Erukawa avoids my gaze like a stunned puppy, and even Haruna avoids my gaze as if she didn’t explain to Tsuruca even though I had warned her in advance. I got dizzy with the comprehensive gift set and avoided Tsuruka’s eyes.

“I already knew that he was horny, but he didn’t say anything about women…”

Do something-I looked at Haruna with sad eyes, but Haruna, who apologized with the shape of her mouth [Not-not-], Subtly lowered her head. What should I explain to Tsuruka who is wary of a woman he sees for the first time?

“What are you doing without Mr. Cassano? Oh my, nice to meet you Is this the first time everyone?”

Standing at the doorway, Rachel pushed me into the room and greeted me in a bright voice without batting an eye despite her chilly atmosphere. Tsuruka, who was trying to catch her mood, also saw her bright Rachel and took a step back from her while opening her mouth.

“Who, who are you?”

“My name is Rachel, who was asked by Mr. Cassano to live in the village. Oh my, you are a human. Nice to meet you. She calls me sister.”

“Ah, yes, nice to meet you sister…?”

“There are a lot of cute beast girls, huh? She said this is her eldest daughter…? I wish you well. It’s the first time I’ve met Soo-in, so please forgive me if I make a mistake?”

“Ah, well, thank you.”

Rachel greeted Sierra with a chattering smile and immediately approached Haruna, who was watching her with her arms crossed.

Haruna, who actively shook hands with Rachel, held her hand. I looked at me standing behind Rachel with her bewildered eyes, but I shrugged her shoulders instead of answering her.

“Is the lady’s name Tsuruka? She listened well to Mr. Cassano. It’s really pretty~ Look at the glossy hair and tail. Why were you in such a bad mood earlier?”

“That, that’s not bad…”

“It’s not like this, let’s talk over a cup of tea together. I brought a nice car.”

Taking tea leaves from the basket she was holding to see if she was making up words, Rachel sat the hesitant Tsuruka on her seat and as she noticed them, she greeted them brightly and exchanged words with everyone.

“Wait a minute? Mr. Cassano, could you please bring my luggage to my room? I want to talk to the girls.”

“Ah, yes it should. All right.”

“Hey Sophie. Please help me.”

“Yes, your sister!”

Is there any shyness- Sophie, who dyed her face pure white, followed Rachel to the dodo. Sierra, who seemed to be grunting at Tsuruka’s hostility, loosened her expression after Rachel’s appearance and began to look around at the women sitting with a haughty expression.

I thought I’d come forward to solve it, but I think I’m ignoring Rachel’s feelings after walking on her arm. As she asked, I packed her belongings and left her office. I closed the door and headed for the stairs, but I turned around at the sound of small laughter coming from the office.
