All clothes selection has been completed.

With both hands full of clothes and a bag, Eryl walked down the street with a hunting dog she came across by chance.

It was quite a fun time for Erin.

Is this what we call free time?

To the point where I think like that.

“Then you’re not hot, Hound?”

“Yes, this body is not susceptible to heat or cold. It’s convenient.”

“Wow, as expected, the article is amazing!”

“I’m a wizard rather than a knight.”

“Oh, sorry. When I heard it was a hunting dog, I thought it was a knight… .”

“There’s nothing to be sorry about.”

The man was a gentleman.

He rarely raised his voice, his pace was even, and above all, he had the habit of making eye contact with the person he was talking to.

It may seem like a trivial action, but… There was a feeling I got from that attitude.

‘I feel respected.’

This person is completely focused on me.

This person listens carefully to my story.

Things like this are engraved in my mind.

I had an inadvertent thought.

I thought that if a person was this warm, he would also be like that in love.

It wasn’t about harboring romantic feelings.

Eryl was too quick-witted and good at grasping topics for her to harbor an awkward romantic interest.

Therefore, what Eryl did was to place the young lady next to this man.

‘oh… .’

The picture is better than I thought.

The young lady was an overbearing and rough person, and this man was gentle and gentlemanly, so a picture would emerge of this man accepting the young lady’s temperament.

But the man won’t have any difficulties.

The reason was that although the young lady was very overbearing, she was strangely kind and compassionate, so it seemed like she would take warm care of him in the end.

It was fun to let your imagination run wild, and as a result, a smile began to appear on Eryl’s lips.

Then the man asked.

“Are you thinking of anything interesting?”

“Oh, sorry, sorry!”

Eryl was startled.

The man’s smile became a little softer.

“You don’t have to be sorry, but I’m curious. What funny thought did you think that made you smile like that?”

Eryl thought for a moment, thinking, ‘Wouldn’t this be rude?’ Then, after recalling the attitude of the man who mentioned the young lady at the clothing store, she decided to speak up.

From Ariel’s perspective, the man seemed to really like the girl.

“That… .”

These words were spoken with a slight blush on the face.

The man started to focus more on that.

Then, by the time everything was finished, he burst out laughing and said, ‘Puhup!’

“It’s fun.”

“City, please excuse me… .”

“No. It was truly fun. Well, there are some mistakes, so can I correct them?”

“Yes?”

Eryl blinked.

The man stroked Eril’s head.

“The one who is harassing me is me.”

“… ?”

“She reacts well when you tease her. It’s especially cute how he gets angry but eventually surrenders.”

How cute.

How cute!

At the explicit choice of words, Eryl trembled and blushed, exclaiming, ‘Ahhhh!’

“Well, like that… !”

“Don’t you agree?”

“Jo, I sympathize with you a little!”

He was a more reckless person than I thought.

No, rather than being reckless, I should say that he is a sly person.

Anyway, he was a man with a strange charm.

To some extent, Eryl understood why the young lady continued her relationship with this man.

The story continued like that for a while.

“Ah, it has arrived. Colipen.”

The man said.

Just as he said, Eryl had already arrived in front of Coli Pen.

‘Was it this short a distance?’

I think I lost track of time while talking to the man.

I felt quite happy about it and was about to take a step when the man stopped me.

“Can you wait here for a moment?”

“Yes?”

“I want to go in and talk just the two of us. It’s been a while since we met.”

Eryl’s face turned red.

‘Seo, no way… !’

It’s already been 10 years since I worked at the inn.

Now, Eryl was confident that she knew quite a bit about what men and women do alone at an inn.

Of course, that didn’t mean kicking people out of the lobby, but isn’t the situation different now?

It’s a hunting dog.

The famous Hound of Hebron.

They are a rare group of armed forces that even the emperor of an empire cannot punish, so does the prince of a border kingdom matter?

Eryl nodded loudly, remembering the blasphemous thought.

The wild imagination of a 14-year-old girl followed the back of the man entering the Hwahwa Inn with strange anticipation.

*

“So, the rumor that the assets of the Hebron family are richer than the royal treasury is true to some extent. Do you agree?”

“It’s not wrong.”

“Oh! As expected, you know something.”

“Don’t pry. It’s starting to get annoying.”

“Don’t be like that. Huh?”

Deltan was regretting sending Aryl away.

It’s already been 3 hours.

The time when I was captured by Iliad and heard the ‘Praise of Hebron’.

No matter how much I enjoy other people’s reviews, I can’t help but feel bored after listening to them for three hours.

Only a sigh came out of the Deltan’s mouth, but even so, Ilias did not stop praising him.

Now Deltan has learned that Ilias is doing everything he can to gather rumors to save his portrait.

Then the strange thing happened.

Jing-

The entrance bell rang.

“Welcome!”

The branch owner greeted me first, and Ilias smiled brightly.

“Hmm, looks like we have a new customer!”

He immediately changed to a businesslike expression and turned his head.

And then it suddenly stopped.

“… Huh?”

Ilias’s face was filled with deep confusion… No, should I call this surprising?

Even that wasn’t enough.

As Deltans knew, this expression was extremely close to joy.

What on earth did I see that made me do that?

Deltan turned his head indifferently.

“I’d like to rent the entire lobby for a while.”

I came face to face with a face that shouldn’t be here.

Suddenly, my body stopped.

His eyes were so big that they seemed to be tearing apart, and his lips were just twitching, making it difficult for him to speak.

“I’ll give you the money. Is this enough?”

Red hair, and golden eyes.

The face I always saw in the mirror was speaking to the branch manager with a relaxed and gentlemanly expression that did not seem to be my own.

He held out a gold bar.

The branch leader looked at Ilias in bewilderment.

Ilias, who had been dazed until then, muttered in a trembling voice.

“De, delta… .”

“Ah, I know someone here too. Can you please be quiet? Because I don’t like things that are noisy.”

“Inhale!”

Ilias covered his mouth with both hands.

The area around my eyes was moist.

“Um, are you the owner? That person is watching you.”

Ilias nodded frantically.

My eyelashes were fluttering, like a sasaeng fan meeting an idol.

When Deltans were on Earth, they actually met such a girl as a patient, so they couldn’t find a more fitting expression than that.

“Then I’ll give it to you. Please take care of all the people here.”

Agnes gives the gold bar to Ilias! and handed it to me.

Ilias took action immediately.

“Now! Customers! Would you all please go outside for a moment? This is how I feel! I’ll invite you all to the most expensive bar in the city!!!”

I think they clearly said they wouldn’t set a bad precedent in the rules, but I don’t know where they sold that credo.

Meanwhile, the customers who had been confused stood up with excited faces.

And then I left the hotel with Ilias.

Deltan saw Ilias winking at me as he walked out the door.

“… .”

It was difficult.

Deltan inadvertently thought of wanting to get caught in the procession and escape.

Of course, this is because this situation is beyond the Delta people’s expectations.

‘… ‘Why is he here?’

What the Deltans called was a hunting dog.

And he even said that the battle would be fought here.

Agnes, who doesn’t even know the ‘s’ of battle, shouldn’t be here.

Besides that, there was one more reason to be so embarrassed.

Deltan’s mind wasn’t ready yet.

I couldn’t even properly reflect on my own feelings, which I finally realized at the end of the confusion.

One reason might be that there was no time, but the bigger reason was that I didn’t bother to look at the embarrassing reality because I thought it was still a long way off.

Anyway, it was an accident.

The Deltan was so embarrassed that his head turned gray, which was rare, and Agnes was walking trotting along.

Eventually, he came right in front of Deltan and looked down at him.

Deltan once again realized the difference in height between himself and Agnes.

“Shall we sit down first?”

Agnes smiled and sat down at the table.

Deltan never knew his face could smile so sweetly.

“What are you doing? Don’t sit down.”

I flinched, my fingertips trembling.

Deltan pursed his lips.

It was still standing.

“It’s been 3 weeks. Yeah, it’s almost like that.”

“… .”

“I’m glad you look healthy. Looks like they found a way to extend the lifespan of that body.”

“… .”

“Are you going to keep saying nothing like that?”

Deltan clenched his fists and asked Agnes.

“… Why did you come here?”

“I don’t think that’s what we’re talking about right now.”

“If not now, then when.”

“It’s better to loosen the ash.”

“… Also, how did it come so quickly?”

“I was carried by Kaltara from the islands. It was really fast. Even though I kept my eyes open, the scenery changed so quickly that it felt like the world was distorted. I was planning to come by train, but if I had done that, I would have been late, right?”

Agnes rested her chin on the table.

“More than that, don’t talk like this. I want to solve the problem?”

Deltan avoided Agnes’ eyes.

No way, I couldn’t look at my conscious mind.

It didn’t matter that that was his face.

The only thing that mattered to the Deltans was that it was Agnes.

“… I didn’t know it would be so reckless.”

“Deltain.”

Shocked, Deltan trembled his shoulders.

This was the reason why Agnes’ voice suddenly quieted down.

When I turned my head, Agnes’ smile had subsided.

So, I was just smiling.

‘… what.’

He seemed angry.

I was embarrassed.

This is because Agnes was a woman who never got angry even though she let out all her other emotions.

“Well, well… .”

“3 weeks. The time I waited for you.”

“How about that… .”

“Why are you so late?”

Agnes got up again and came over.

The Deltan flinched without realizing it, but Agnes was moving faster than that.

chin!

Agnes grabbed Deltan’s shoulders and made him sit down at the table.

And he looked me straight in the eye and said.

There was a difference in strength.

The Deltan did not dare to resist.

“I definitely told you to wait. So I waited. I endured the first week without any news, and the second week I was anxious. I’m afraid you lied to me. And this was the third week.”

Even the smile on Agnes’s lips had faded.

“The news that finally came back was that you were in the desert and preparing for battle. Leave me. You make me wait like this. Not a single sentence about me.”

Deltan couldn’t say anything.

Sympathy based on a sense of love was too difficult for Deltans, who had ignored it all their lives.

However, there was something that could be known.

Indeed, in such a situation, Agnes would be in a bad mood.

If it were me, I wouldn’t have been able to smile and say this.

Deltan spoke softly, avoiding Agnes’ eyes.

“Mia… .”

“I don’t want to hear that.”

“… Then what is it?”

“Deltain.”

Agnes grabbed Deltan’s chin and turned him towards me.

Deltan could no longer avoid his gaze.

There was a certain longing in the eyes that met each other.

“I missed you so much. To the point where I felt very bad about you not being able to come back. But you don’t look like that.”

Eventually, that longing came out even into my voice.

“Did you miss me? Not at all?”

For some reason, I felt tight inside.
