Chapter 42 – Date With Xiao Mei #03

We got off the carriage and silently paid the coachman 20 doubloons, much more than the 3 doubloon fare.

Of course, the coachman did not refuse the money either. Instead, he just quietly left, saying that he had a good time.

He must have been a scruffy coachman, but for some reason I thought his back was cool.

“… Shall we go?”
“Huuuuu…”

Xiao-Mei, still immersed in the heat of sex, was carried into my arms with a hazy expression. She saw this and there’s no way she didn’t know.

‘Coacherman.. I don’t know the name, but thank you..’

I nodded to the carriage that was leaving, and started walking towards the main street with Xiaomei.

**

I tried to give Xiao Mei, who was still floating, some rest, but Xiao Mei shook her head and dragged me somewhere.

“Here is…”
“Isn’t it one of your favorite places? If you’re stressed out, you always binge eat here!”

Cafe Flowerseed.

I stumbled upon this cafe located on the outskirts of downtown by chance while wandering around to relieve stress when my self-esteem plummeted due to the title of bald knight.

I really love spicy food. After eating a lot of spicy food that burns my tongue, I decided that the real me is yasu.

However, there were not many spicy foods in this world. At least, some of the food in the Republic was slightly spicy, and I didn’t even get a message from my liver, who was trained with habanero peppers.

“It’s nice here.. That’s right, I’ve never been here before.”

However, Flowerseed’s spicy food was spicy enough to satisfy me. Falling in love with the spicy taste, I have been coming back to this place ever since the 2nd episode.

“Did you… Remember this place?”
“Here, my older brother always ate with a happy face, so it was memorable.”

I feel something in my heart. Maybe it was because I had no experience of being remembered by someone who liked the things I liked, but for some reason I felt like I was going to cry.

“Let’s go, don’t hesitate and let’s go in, brother!”

I was moved and hesitated, and Xiao-Mei dragged me inside.

“Welcome! You can sit comfortably in an empty seat!”

The owner of the cafe, Ms. Yenica, greeted her with a familiar face. Feeling as if I had entered a childlike place, I took a seat and looked at the menu.

“Is this your first time here? Our cafe…”
“First, starting with the seafood pasta here.”

The meticulous Jenika tends to memorize the faces of all the customers in the cafe.

That said, I also heard all the tutorial-like explanations in each episode. So I boldly skipped the explanation and pointed to the middle menu.

“Give me all the menus below.”
“..Yes? Everything? Our restaurant has a lot of volume and the spicy dishes are really very spicy, so you will have a hard time.”
“It’s okay, because I know everything. Xiao Mei is hungry too? For the child, please give me fried rice with federal seafood and noodles with bamboo shoots.”

Ms. Yenika hesitated after receiving the order, confused when she saw me ordering all 8 items on the menu, but when I folded the menu and started talking with Xiaomei, she eventually went into the kitchen and started cooking.

“Oh, I hadn’t even thought of this place, but it feels so good to be here after a long time.”
“..It’s been a while, how long has brother been coming?”

At Xiao-Mei’s question, I started counting the time on my fingers.

“Let’s see, I spent a year wandering around beyond the wall, and the year before that I spent looking for artifacts after signing contracts, and meeting the reclusive giants… About three years? 4 years? I guess that’s about it.”

Speaking of which, I feel a little sorry for Agnes. After dating at best, I was very busy, and he followed me through all kinds of rough terrain and helped me.

“..In my memory, older brother always looked like he was being chased by something. Is that something related to the demon lord?”

Cool.

The moment I was drinking the first drink with a straw, I heard a question about the demon king, and I was a little embarrassed and almost heard an example.

“People only praise that parasitic brother, saying that he is the hero Cayenne, but I remember it. Wasn’t it my older brother who worked hard to fight the demon king every time?”

Does that happen?

Come to think of it, I did it because I was frustrated after dragging around the main character who was going to subdue the demon king anyway, but from the sidelines, I could have looked like I was anxious to catch the demon king by myself.

“Somehow it happened that way. Still, even if it wasn’t for me, he would have moved…”

As I spoke without thinking, I suddenly realized that Xiao-Mei’s expression her was not good.

“…What’s wrong, Xiaomei? My expression her suddenly went bad… “
“Why is my brother always going through hardships alone?”

I suddenly thought I had done something wrong at the tone of calling him brother, but I couldn’t help but put on a shy expression with a sad expression rather than angry.

“Every time I know and move alone, I suffer alone, and there are many people around me who are much stronger and more amazing than my brother, so why does my brother step forward!”
“..No, if the Cayenne is frustrating and it’s hard to convince the people around me, I’ll be the first to move..”
“The frustrating thing is that my brother is the most frustrating!”

Bang! Xiao-Mei slammed the table and started glaring at me with weeping eyes. It was my first time experiencing something like this, so I was very embarrassed.

“Sha, Xiao Mei. Just calm down…”
“It is full of monsters, but they come in injured all the time to find food alone! Violet made a contract with the devil to help her, but she was accused of colluding with the devil and was executed! She is Separated all of us to kill the demon king alone… Crossed the barrier alone… Stressed out… Bald… Extreme…”

As Xiao-Mei listed all the things I had done wrong, I ran out of things to say.

‘No, but why are you crying over the bald spot… ?’

Hair loss didn’t happen because I wanted to be myself. For some reason, I felt a lot of regret. It’s all the Cayenne and Unicorn’s fault for the hair loss.

However, he could n’t tell Xiao Mei, who started crying, so he went over to her side of her and patted her on the shoulder of her.

Yenica ran out of the kitchen, anxious to see if the couples were fighting, and had a puzzled look on her face as she saw Xiaomei crying in my arms.

‘Don’t look at me. It’s not my fault.’

However, all the customers around me and Ms. Yenika looked at me and asked me with their eyes, “What did I do wrong?” It’s unfair.

**

“So, I hope my older brother will do everything he wants to do in this life.”

After crying a little, the real Xiao Mei was held in her arms her again, wiping her eyes with the handkerchief I handed her.

“Even if I tell you to do everything you want to do.. Which one?”

Of course, there was still a plan to give Cayenne a big hit, but I have no intention of telling anyone about it yet. She felt that if she got even a little bit into his ear her, it would be a big problem.

“…Why don’t you get engaged to Agnes in public? I think that strange rumor will disappear at once.”
“Shh!..About, engagement? As I said last time, slowly…”

When Xiao Mei suddenly took out a large bomb, I lowered her voice for fear of being heard and whispered.

If you throw a big scan on such a ridiculous fake rumor, it’s no different than setting a house on fire to get rid of bed bugs.

“Why are you trying to hide it? In the previous episode, you were dating well and confidently. Why do you have to bow your head because your brother lacks something?”
“No, it’s because I’m a lot of trouble and it’s difficult… I was caught out the other day and had a half-forced public relationship… “

If Cayenne and the crown prince stopped by Agnes’ office by chance hadn’t noticed me and Agnes kissing, we would have been able to continue our secret love affair with more thrills.

Feeling a bit frustrated, I left the cooling food behind and sucked on the lemonade through a straw.

“..And Violet unnie. What are you going to do?”
“Cool! Cool!”

I heard the case properly this time. It was only after Xiaomei gave me a pat on the back that I was able to calm down the case.

“Bar, Violet, I should go and just apologize..”
“With an apology? You just end it with an apology?”

Xiao Mei’s eyes her, saying that, seemed to bruise me saying that she would be fine with that.

“Why, why are you angry, Xiao Mei… “
“Right now, it’s just Violet’s sister, what if the saintess comes? You two got along well in the 3rd time right? What about the prostitute in the Undercity? I heard you half dated him the second time.”

Maybe it’s because I hit my stomach too hard with words. I was heartbroken. I never thought that all the women I had flirted with in the past would be mentioned here.

“..No, they haven’t even met yet, so there’s no need to worry anymore..”
“Then what, hesitating to meet again, hurting and apologizing? That’s frustrating! I don’t know who is saying who is frustrated!”

Xiao Mei lifted her ice cup, and she gulped down the cold water, cooling her anger inside her. I was sitting there with my eyes down, like a student scolded by a teacher.

“My brother has always been a virgin, and I know she likes things like romance. But have you thought about what kind of uproar it would be if you flirted with all the women like that and now you say you can’t take responsibility?”
“..No, when did I tail myself… I’m sorry.”

While protesting against her unfair feelings of her, I lowered my gaze to Xiao Mei’s glaring eyes of her again. Not really. Hing.

“I have no intention of taking care of a saint or prostitute, and I have no obligation, but I am not Violet.”

Xiaomei, whose voice softened a little, gently grabbed my hand.

“So, I’ll close my eyes and take care of you even if you just have 3 partners and 4 albums in this lifetime. Enjoy it, brother.”

…Yes?

“3 partners, 4 concubines..?”
“Yes, Princess Agnes, me, and Violet’s sister are the main wives. The rest as concubines. You know?”

I couldn’t help but be very taken aback by the appearance of a word that would appear anywhere in martial arts.

Even in kingdoms where polygamy is allowed, it is common for each wife to have only one concubine…?

“Or, do you really intend to take all those women as your official wives?”
“No, no! It’s because I’m rather embarrassed to say that I’m the third wife and the fourth concubine!”

When I saw her eyes her start staring at me again, I was startled and waved my hand to calm her down.

At my words, Xiao Mei sighed and began to put some strength on her hand that was holding mine.

“Believe me brother, if you go later and get stumped and can’t even do anything about it, just proudly declare that you have 3 wives and 4 concubines and enjoy it. Otherwise, even if someone gets stabbed and dies, I won’t be able to curse.”
“…I’ve been bewitching women that much? Isn’t that Zorba’s specialty..?”

No, I’ve never done anything wrong with her, but I wondered if it was because Zorba had a bad influence on her by being with her.

“Mister Zorba is good at drawing lines. She can’t draw the line like her older brother her, so she does n’t flirt with all the arrogant women.”
“…”

I’m worse than Zorba?

“Remember. Just me, Princess Agnes, and Violet. Enjoy the rest. Or even concubines.”

Kwaaaaak,

I thought that the power of Xiao-Mei’s grip on my hand was very painful.
