Lunch hour.
“Ah!… .”
The disciple’s cheeks blushed.
The boat horn looks embarrassed.
“If you’re hungry, buy something to eat.”
“Well, is that so?”
“There seems to be a lot of food around that I’ve never seen before. Is there any food you want?”
“Then… Let’s have lunch at a place that feels like a restaurant and have a barbecue at an outdoor camping site for dinner!”
“Are you not eating street food?”
“Of course I have to eat it! But I want to sit and eat in this atmosphere. Anyway, if you don’t have enough street food, just eat more!”
“Hmm… .”
This opinion is more specific than you might think.
Here, I originally planned to take them to the restaurant Andrew told me about, but… Before that, Ronica told me to go where I wanted first.
If that’s the case, there’s nothing you can do.
To satisfy my hunger, my student and I moved to a place where tables and chairs were placed under well-maintained outdoor umbrellas.
“Welcome~ What would you like to order?”
This place was structured to cook inside the tent and serve outside, and the aroma poured out.
“Korant royal dish number 1. I’m curious about this!”
“I’ll order that.
We ordered a unique dish made with spaghetti inside a huge bread.
The food came out quickly.
This is a somewhat unusual noodle dish made with sliced bread.
“Sounds delicious~”
I started eating.
The bread bowl was so big that we had to share it together, and sometimes we made eye contact while forking. However, the student who had now become friendly gave me a melting smile.
Perhaps because it is a festival, the smile is different from usual.
It feels like it’s fluttering a little more. It’s probably proof that you’re having fun.
This is fortunate.
I’m getting closer to my student.
If we stay like this until the night and confess my true identity during the fireworks… .
Wouldn’t they accept me kindly?
I looked at my disciple who was trembling for a moment. His bowl was made to be easy to eat with bread torn off and spaghetti on top.
“Nyaam~”
Every time you take a bite, you make a sound like wow and let out an exclamation of joy.
A happy look.
It is not for nothing that people say that just looking at it makes one feel full.
For now, let’s capture more of that image.
*
burden.
It’s so burdensome!!
The man is staring at me.
Even though he hasn’t eaten much, he just holds the spoon and watches him eat.
why?
Doesn’t it suit your taste?
Should I have ordered something else?
This is a taste that even black people will like… .
I pretended not to notice and continued eating. I think we’ve definitely gotten used to it and become friends, but for some reason it’s hard to talk to us now.
Although he is looking at me, he seems to be lost in his own deep thoughts.
Just like a nigger!
what?
Are the corners of your mouth slightly raised?
Did you recall any fun memories?
But why are you looking at me? Strangely, it became burdensome to face it again.
Above all, that smile is somehow… .
“Hey, owner!!! There’s a bug in here, right? What are you going to do with this?”
A sudden shout.
I woke up from my thoughts and looked to the side.
4 men.
I saw a group of mercenaries, all as big as gold fists, wearing swords and armor. There are also several knife marks on the grim face.
People who seem to have experienced many hardships.
Did they also come to enjoy the festival?
“What’s going on?”
A female server who heard the man’s shout ran to the men and responded.
Then a man shouted.
“Bugs came out of the food! Did you really give this to us to eat? Huh?”
“Yes?… that is… … .”
The female employee, overwhelmed by the momentum, avoided eye contact and glanced at the man’s dishes. After everything was finished, there was a bug lying in the empty bowl.
No matter how you look at it, it looks like it was put there intentionally.
“So, customer. This is what you put in after eating all the food-”
“What is it? There are bugs like this, so are you really trying to get rid of them? Huh!?”
“That, that… .”
“Look at this guy. Are you scared?”
bastard. stop. Do you want to live your fake days harassing others?”
“Khaha!! Look at this guy pretending to be nice. Do you like the employees here? It seems like it has quite a unique charm, perhaps because it came from a foreign country.”
“What if it’s not your taste? Cutie. Would you like to hang out with us for a bit?”
What are those?
Bugs are just an excuse and a joke.
You hire employees and ask them to do work for such ridiculous reasons.
I don’t want to get involved in something that has nothing to do with it, but since the table is right next to me, I’m sure it will interfere with my meal with Dirus.
You wicked people!
We can’t leave it like this.
Fortunately, because it is a festival place, there are many people around. If you make a bigger fuss, it will be at a disadvantage to that side. After calculating the situation, I immediately stood up.
*
“Stop it. The staff is in trouble.”
Disciple who has become cold-hearted.
A heavily thought-out tone.
He didn’t seem to like the commotion at the table next to him, so he got up and joined in.
I was having fun eating… .
This makes me angry too.
“ha? What are you again?”
“Children are not interested, so just get out of there.”
“Hey. I actually like it, right?”
“You crazy bastard.”
Eyes are focused.
Not only the waiter standing next to him, but also the guests eating nearby and the chef cooking in the tent all showed their faces and kept an eye on this place.
No, is that guy just looking on while his employees are being bullied?
The skinny one looks timid, but… .
I checked the table next to me again.
4 men.
A lumpy body.
He seemed like an experienced mercenary.
Two 3 stars.
Two 2 stars.
If you win 1:1, the disciple can easily win, but there are as many as 4 opponents. Moreover, mercenaries are a group that specializes in external attacks rather than mana.
It may be too much for you.
No matter how many instructors and security personnel are deployed, it takes time to receive information and come to you. It is difficult to expect people around you to help. Because most of them are ordinary people.
In other words, the disciple’s judgment was wrong.
No, I don’t have the eyes to understand their situation and the experience to deal with the situation.
… I guess I’ll have to step up.
“If you’re going to make a fuss here, stop right now and get out. It’s a nuisance to other people.”
“Look at how bold this guy is?”
“Young ones need to get hit hard to come to their senses. I have no choice but to step forward.”
Sze-
A man stood up.
It is several times larger than Ronica. Although Dengji is at the top level, it is difficult to ignore the difference in weight class. Because the basic gang stat can be higher.
It wouldn’t be a bad idea to see how your student responds as usual… .
If you make more of a fuss, your mood will only be ruined.
Sreuk-
I stood up.
Just pass by the disciple.
“Hang? What are you again?”
He placed one hand on the tall shoulder of the large man who was looking down at his disciple and lowered it in a puff.
Pak!!
“Ugh!!?”
A big guy on his knees.
Although it was only a little over a year, I trained without stopping every day.
This is basic.
“Now we are at eye level.”
“Well, what… .”
“Fuck. What is this guy!!”
“Hey, catch it first.”
Come on!!
The big guys stand up all at once.
Therefore, I stopped the disciple who was quietly standing next to me and trying to fight with me with my free hand and released the weak force remaining in my body.
Hwaak-
“Keep!?”
“Ugh!!… Breathing… … .”
This is the biggest reason why I learned how to fight. Beating down bad guys without putting in any effort.
I looked at them and warned them.
“If you make a fuss, you will be killed… Be prepared.”
As my disciple was watching, I softened my words.
I can’t ruin my mood any further on a good day like this. It would be better to leave this aside.
The value was recovered.
“Ugh!!… .
“Run away!!”
“Ugh!!!!”
The men immediately began to run away, tripping over each other and making an unsightly appearance.
I shook my hands and sat down.
I picked up the spoon again.
“… … … .”
It felt like a lot of attention was being paid to me, but I decided to ignore it.
*
I was speechless.
Not just me, but everyone.
How strong do you have to be to subdue a person with force alone?
What’s more, why are mercenaries who seem to have been through all kinds of battles so scared that they can’t even shake a fist and run away… how?
Above all, the look in your eyes just now.
Although it was only for a moment, it was a look in his eyes that felt like death.
It’s fundamentally different from mine. If it were me who dealt with difficult, difficult, or scary things as calmly as possible based on past experience.
As for Dirus… .
What kind of past have you lived?
That’s all that’s confusing.
The friendly energy felt for a moment while the men were scared was also strange. It felt as if something surrounding me was suddenly shaken.
It was as if I had been with this man the whole time. In other words, like a nigger… .
“Why not eat it?”
“Ah!”
I sat down immediately after hearing the man’s words.
Because I didn’t want to cause misunderstanding by continuing to stare.
“I… Thank you.”
“It was nothing.”
At this time, a female employee came up and greeted Dirusue. It was gratitude for being saved from being harassed by men a little while ago.
I went first, but… Since Dirus was the one who killed the bully, he didn’t bother to show it.
Just pure feelings.
Because I didn’t help in order to get thanks.
“No matter how sincere it may be, I will provide a service. I will not charge you for the food.”
“Yes, I would be grateful if you could.”
The female employee went straight back to the tent.
The conversation with the chef, who was watching the situation, must have gone well, and soon he brought out the most expensive dish in the store.
“Food is here! This is one of the dishes our chef is most proud of. I’m also grateful to the chef for solving the case well.”
When I opened the dome-shaped lid of a large tray, a dish of meat hung on a wooden-like model came out. The seasoning was evenly distributed and it was light as if it had been boiled well, but it had a peppery scent that pierced my nose.
A dish I also want to learn.
This is a dish I want to make for black people.
but.
“Well, if it’s okay, at least your name… … .”
The female employee’s flushed face.
An expression as if he had found a kite.
When I saw that, I felt a great sense of discomfort.
Up until now, I had been watching with a pure heart, but I was shaken.
I feel like my fingertips are shaking without knowing why.
“There is no need to know.”
“Ah… .”
Fortunately, the man did not give his name. However, the female employee seemed to have fallen in love with the sight, clutching her hands to her chest and blushing.
… Why does this bother me?
It’s definitely nothing.
What am I afraid of?
The female employee went into the tent, brought out a note, and gave it to Dirus.
“Please take this!!”
“Hmm?… .”
Tadadat.
And then he runs away.
You can tell without even looking.
A heartfelt and sincere letter.
The man looked puzzled and then focused on his meal again.
A letter placed on one side of the table. I was so concerned about it that I couldn’t help but ask.
“… Aren’t you going to read the letter?”
But the man muttered as if he was indifferent.
“It’s annoying to read… .”
For some reason, I felt a sense of relief at that one word.
“Okay, then let’s finish eating and read!”
“Sure.”
*
I opened the letter.
[…] … When I have time, I would like to personally serve a meal. I plan to stay here until the festival, so if you remember-]
“Uh, what do you think?”
As I was walking down the street and reading the letter, my disciple swallowed his saliva and asked me a question.
Thanks to this, the distance became closer.
The distance between arms.
The cherry-like scent that was sprayed on my disciple gently stimulated my nose.
It’s a pleasant scent.
“It’s about having a meal together.”
“Rice? then… What are you going to do? Are you going to eat with that person?”
“I’m not interested unless it’s important.”
“Important… .”
“Rather than that, why not go there this time?”
I subtly pointed to the place Andrew told me about. I checked the map earlier and checked the location in advance, so there was no problem with directions.
“Yes. Let’s go!”
There was no hesitation now.
The disciple happily agreed.
On the road together again-
Creepy.
I felt strange. It felt like someone was glaring at me earlier… .
Maybe Rauf?
*
“hihi~”
An orange-haired woman hiding between the trees on the outside of the forest path.
Andrew.
She grinned.
This is because I saw Ronica and Geomdung making better progress than expected.
I was planning on giving advice right away if I got stuck, but there was no need to do that.
The black man completely possessed Ronica.
It was a big deal that he ate more than half just because of his existence in the first place, but his sincere feelings for Ronika probably also played a role.
So I couldn’t help but be happy.
“It’s all thanks to me! Cancer.”
How hard did you work for this day?
I wanted to set up the plan by sending in members of the Venus organization, but I was afraid that Ronica would notice, so I made a deal with local merchants and set up the plan like this.
A prize resembling a nigger.
Renting a tent with a similar picture.
This is also part of it.
Rowen also played a part in this, providing information about festivals and merchants.
There is still a lot left to prepare.
The efforts are bearing fruit.
A date for two!!
Of course, I immediately realized that the black guy would object if I said it was a date, so I told him about my plans late and told him as much as I could.
And it was a successful success.
The two people are walking around like that.
“Heh~ It’s nice to see.”
“Andro. Don’t you enjoy the festival?”
“I’m really happy right now~”
“… … … .”
Although the escort driver was bored, Andrew paid no heed and continued to watch over the two. Because there might be an unexpected situation.
There is a need for assistance to continue to the end.
“I need to go closer and take a look. Ronica probably doesn’t even know how she’s smiling. I should watch it now and tease you a lot~”
Andro approached the two people further.
It was confusing because there were so many people, but in those cases, the escort driver found it for me.
I continued following him without difficulty.
and.
puck!
“Oh?”
bumped into someone
I was only looking at Ronika and running so I didn’t see the person standing behind the tree.
“Andro!!”
chuck.
Fortunately, the escort driver supported my body.
Next, the full-armored knight who hit him looked at him as if he was troubled and said.
“… Are you okay?”
“Ah, yes. sorry. I was so excited and running for a moment that I didn’t see you in front of me.”
“No. Well then… .”
The knight walks away.
Even though he wasn’t walking fast, the driver disappeared like a mirage.
The escort asks him worriedly.
“You are strong. He is a rare talent. Are you injured in any way?”
“Yes. I’m fine. Rather than that… .”
Who was it?
The knight with his face covered.
It was only a brief moment, but it felt like I was looking at a black person.
As if he was a little angry too… .
Shaking my head.
No way.
“No. Let’s go!”
“He went that way.”
Andrew resumed following.
For the development of the relationship between the two people.
