Chapter 179 – The First of Two Chances -2-
If only Isaac had had a bit more social experience rather than an academy.
Would the choice be different from now?
At the command of the next head of the family, who may be smart, foolish, or full of confidence, Philip only scratches his forearm where the chicken meat is strangely rising.
Kiik-
Open the door of the inn that Philip borrowed with Isaac’s money.
The murmur died down and the eyes gathered.
Ignore the complaints accumulated while waiting and take a look around.
Maybe it’s because I came to face Isaac’s hysteria.
Looking at the inside, which was messed up like a pig pen, my expression naturally frowned and a fever rose inside.
‘It’s all going to end today anyway… So I’ll just endure it once.’
Philip, who turned his head away from the filthy scene and caught his breath, drew attention with his voice that strengthened his stomach and throat.
“We’re leaving soon. Everyone get ready.”
They talked quite a bit while Philip was gone, and even after listening to the client, these guys didn’t drop their butts easily.
As if he wanted something, the man with a smirk touched his shaggy beard and turned around and turned around to bring out his request.
“I’m going to throw all the hot-blooded, black men in this small place without alcohol and no women. My head is dizzy from the smell of sweat.”
Beginning with his words, laughter spread like a contagious disease around him, and they began to sympathize.
“···So?”
Phillip, a human who is not much different from these people, kept his momentum and raised his chin without being pushed by the outside forces.
“Do you see that friend? Originally, there were three wrinkles on his forehead, but after waiting, the wrinkles increased to four, and he almost rusted his sword.”
As I pointed at one of them with a finger that reached under his fingernails, the targeted man began having unfunny seizures.
“Oops~ Now that your proud face is ruined, the prostitutes won’t even serve you!”
Philip’s face still hardened as he watched the group thump with a clumsy skit.
Trash always has a lot of words, so it hastens people.
“Look at that! Even if you don’t know the already ruined face, will you take care of the weapon maintenance fee?”
Do you think that if you close your mouth and follow the client well, you will lose?
Philip, who squeezed his hands behind his back to get rid of his anger, put a condition on them because he knew their destiny anyway.
“If the work is done well, I will beg you to pay the extra money. He is more than enough to pay generously according to the results.”
“Hey~! I don’t know who it is, but it’s nice that the person you serve is cool!”
Only then did one of them raise his butt, and the others stood up, grabbing their weapons.
“Someone’s money seems to be rotting. Spending money on things like this.”
“I told you not to hurt me and make me helpless, but I can accidentally touch the body, right?”
Sounds of giggling spread out as if the conversation was appropriate for each other’s level.
“I’ll be back soon, so everyone is ready.”
“Yeah~ let’s do it as we said~ kuhhaha!!”
Even though they found a good agreement with themselves, the cheeky attitude that made them boil was admiration on the contrary.
After all, great elites in a negative sense.
It was like a collection of frogs in the well that he had selected for the contents of the request.
Just by looking at them, I wanted to compliment them on how they picked and gathered these idiots.
“Tsk…”
Conversely, the important issue is after they retreat.
The figures similar to himself, recently brought from Isaac’s family, are gathered elsewhere.
In order to inform the people who will help with the cleaning, Philip headed to the building across the alley without rest.
*****
Although it is called a dessert shop, it does not have only sweets for commercial purposes.
Chloe’s menu choices were skewed to one side, so the choice was quick.
I skimmed through the menu from start to finish.
There were simple dishes, starting with salt bread, but all of them are good to accompany bread.
Corn soup or tomato marinade, etc.
Looking around the menu with a sense of leisure, it was quite a wide range of tolerance for a dessert specialty store.
Maybe my experience and thoughts are narrowly narrow about commerce.
“Um~ I’ve decided too!”
With my daughter-
In the first place, it is a space for soundproofing, so even if you ring the bell, this pleasant sound is no different from decoration.
Contrary to its appearance, it is a magic tool for convenience, so you can feel the approaching popularity from the outside that received the reaction.
Smart-
A knocking sound with politeness.
Clean service that flows from there like water.
The desserts that decorated the table according to the order reminded me of a piece of art in itself.
“Wow…! Oops!”
Seeing what was in front of her eyes, Chloe let out an exclamation involuntarily and quickly covered her mouth with her face blushing.
An attitude of pure joy is to make others happy.
Whether the aristocratic women of this world are a matter of education for the dignity or dignity of a class society.
The tendency to hide honest feelings is much greater than in the previous life.
“I’m glad that Chloe seems to like it. Let’s eat comfortably.”
He repeatedly emphasized ‘comfort’ in each conversation.
He handed over a basket containing bread knives and butter knives.
Contrary to her efforts to emphasize, only the word ‘good’ is implanted in Chloe’s ears regardless of her content.
For her part, a situation where she can’t control her smirking mouth with her hand.
“Go, thank you! Hehe…”
Chloe let out a laugh from her lips as she was handed a basket covered with white cloth.
“Her palm was healed well after it was torn in class?”
“Yes! I’m fine!”
“Even after recovering, fatigue remains and your body is heavy, right? I’ll fall asleep right away.”
“I’d like to, but… These days I haven’t been able to review the theoretical subjects properly…”
Rather than going through a normal meal, a place like this luxurious cafe is suitable for exchanging conversations.
Her petty small talk ensued, and about 10 minutes had passed before Chloe had a completely natural smile on her face.
In a small gap between conversations, she said that Chloe had something she wanted to ask, and she asked me a question.
I was ready to answer any question.
“Oh, brother, what do you think of yourself?”
“Me me?”
“Yes···!”
“Umm~ Can you give me a little more hint of the question?”
Only then did Chloe, realizing that her question lacked an explanation, gave her a hasty nod.
“Actually… I had lunch with my friends today.”
“If you’re friends, you’re Ricke and Seria.”
“Yes, yes! It’s a story that came out then… She said that loving yourself is very important…”
Although it is a simple sentence with the front cut considerably.
It’s been a while since I’ve had my eye on it, so I can understand.
“Did Rike say that?”
“?!”
A surprised expression with round blue eyes.
Her face asked how did you know, but since that came out of Seria’s mouth first, the image didn’t match at all, so it was a natural inference that anyone could make.
‘It’s important for her to love herself. If it was Rike who said…’
When I think of Rike’s life history, many meanings come to mind, but as I faced myself, there was a gap between the actual setting and the positive part.
The reason why the brilliant Rike said such a thing to Chloe.
The life she has been through.
What the two women said to me.
Before my head overloaded with not being able to multitask.
He grabbed the cup with water droplets on it and poured the cold water down his throat.
“Puha-!”
“···Brother?”
I asked Chloe, who was waiting with eyes filled with anxiety and curiosity about my actions.
“I’m really sorry to ask you a question after a question, but what does Chloe think of herself?”
“I don’t know… I-I want to like you. I don’t know where to like me…”
Chloe’s thoughts are straight and honest.
It was just like Eclair that there was a part of her that limited her options and that she couldn’t afford to look around.
It’s just that the method is slightly different.
The familiarity of this situation reminded me of the day I met Eclair in her back alley, and I felt like I was about to laugh.
“It’s about finding a good point and making a reason rather than liking it.”
“Do you make it?”
No one else, Chloe.
I don’t care what people on the street think after hearing me.
Chloe will think over my words at least once.
With the thought that I should be careful, I scratched the itching scar on my chin and started talking while filling an empty cup.
“In the past, when I was only obsessed with requests. There were times when I was in a tavern and felt like I was crazy? The moment I ordered rum and put it on the table, I didn’t even like looking at rum and wanted to drink beer… It repeats itself every time.”
“…”
“At first, I was anxious because I didn’t know if this was a mental illness caused by overwork or stress.
“Then… Are you okay?”
At Chloe’s words, I nodded and smiled.
This was my realization, the process of learning the real aura, and my own precursor symptom.
It was quite late to notice because each person’s omens were different.
The time when my emotions and characteristics become unusually intense and colored with my own color.
“I was just a fickle person myself. At first, I turned away, but after time passed and I accepted this rotten personality, I felt relieved, and it was a little strange to say with my own mouth… From then on, I started to value myself more and more. Even if it’s not an advantage at all.”
“Ah··.”
I don’t know if I can hear her opening her mouth slightly with her blank face thinking about her various things, but I keep talking about her mouth.
“This whim was forcibly formed according to the way I’ve lived and my life. I can’t throw it away after it’s happened. I’m embracing it saying it’s pretty.”
“A little… I think I can do it…!”
She’s not going to do it the same way as me.
You’re a different person in the first place.
However, I seem to have found my way, and I feel better watching my growth, so I chatter with excitement.
“Chloe can be confident. If she was really ugly, would she have had good friends like Rike and Seria?
Let me stop abruptly and turn my gaze toward the wall.
Chloe, who turned her head together, checked the wall without any problems and asked.
“Why are you like that?”
This store is said to be a famous store, but was it a store that achieved success in this way?
Like me, seeds that did not fit the atmosphere of each other began to enter the store.
