Bang bang bang!

Early in the morning, someone knocks on the door.

“Keu-”

Of course, I head to the front door, expecting it to be either Shin Yu-jeong or Jeong-hee… , the silhouette is a bit low?

They are both quite tall for women, so there is no way they would be that low.

When I opened the door with a puzzled mind, there was a truly unexpected person standing there.

“It’s cold! “Get me some coffee!”

Sia Jeong.

Why did he come to visit me in the morning?

Due to the nature of a guy who easily gets into and out of anything, it’s probably not like he’s still obsessed with playing scouter.

“… “What brought you here this morning?”

“huh? Didn’t I tell you last time? “He said he would come over for coffee often.”

“… … .”

I definitely said that… , I really didn’t know it would come.

Moreover, I had no idea that he would come this early in the morning.

“I also brought you a delicious dessert today!”

… I didn’t even eat breakfast, but it looks like I need to eat dessert first.

“Come on, let’s go in.”

I was helplessly pushed away by the guy who recklessly dug in.

Because I raised him so much, I became so weak to him that it was a problem.

I can’t do it.

The only way to do this is to play with it moderately and then send it back at an appropriate time.

I asked the guy as I put a kettle of water on the gas stove.

“I guess you’re not going to work today?”

“Well, yes. “Not just today, but I haven’t been doing it for a long time recently.”

“… … ?”

What does this mean?

Even if there was no dungeon raid schedule, the kid who always went to work stopped going to work.

I’m sure our guild isn’t ruined… ?

“The fake guy who recently took over as guild leader said he was going to take a sabbatical or something.”

“ah… .”

I think it’s because of Zhong Siu’s poor handling of my body.

Jeong Si-ah is a member of the attack team that I lead directly, so she probably has no work to do.

But even taking that into account, it’s still strange.

“So, everyone in the Son Si-woo Hunter raid team is taking a break?”

“That’s not it. “The other members are either working in their own temporary parties or working hard to get things done within the guild.”

what.

It’s working out just as I thought.

“… Then why Hunter?”

“joy! The fake guy said he was giving the princess he saw a vacation. That also means indefinite paid leave.”

“aha.”

It seems like the decision was made because he didn’t want to keep Sia by his side after realizing that he was a fake.

Anyway, it would be awkward.

Sia has one privilege that no one else in the guild has.

What is that?

“After I visited and scolded her a few times, the princess must have become annoyed.”

It is a privilege to confidently enter the office where the guild leader, the highest authority in the guild, resides, without saying anything.

I was robbed because I taught her like a daughter… Well, I didn’t really get stabbed, so I didn’t mind coming in without any notice at any time, but it must have been like death for that guy.

He would burst open the door and come in and say it was fake, but he seemed to be worried about what would happen if someone heard this, and wrote that he was using his head in his own way.

“Then you must be free.”

“Oh, I can’t believe I’m free! “Do you think this princess is just a person who has nothing to do other than go to work?”

I don’t think that’s what a guy who goes to work even on his days off would say because he had nothing to do if he didn’t go to work.

“Elizabeth, I have to feed her and take her for a walk! I also went to a delicious dessert cafe I discovered, and again… .”

therefore.

In the end, I’ve had fun so far.

You can see the path just by looking at it.

I guess I started to get lonely after playing alone.

Even though Sia seems to have a strong “my own pace” style due to her concept, she is more delicate than I thought.

Also, loneliness is so common that if you are alone for a few days, you quickly miss the warmth of people.

I was the person he looked for without hesitation every time that happened, but how frustrating it must have been when even that person disappeared.

Then, a thought occurred to me, and it came to me right before I woke up in the morning.

“Here, coffee.”

“Oh, as expected, the smell is different!”

It makes me laugh to see this guy who is so happy about a cup of mixed coffee as if he has everything in the world.

“yes! “Let’s eat this too!”

The white cardboard box he had been holding in his hand since he arrived was finally opened.

What was inside was a cream puff the size of the palm of one’s hand.

“I’m telling this only to you, so please listen carefully.”

“… … ?”

“If you add sweet to sweet… !”

“… “Happiness reaches its peak?”

“Yes, you! “Are you just reading my mind?!”

… When I tell you to stop eating sweets, you always make excuses, you idiot.

As I watch the guy fall backwards in shock, I can’t help but laugh.

“Stop playing and eat your coffee before it gets cold.”

“Ah, coffee!”

Sia quickly settles down and sits down to drink coffee.

To make it easier for him to eat, I put some cream puffs on a small plate, so he held them with both hands and took a big bite.

“Umm… ! As expected, the combination of sweet and sweet is the best… .”

A guy who smiles brightly as if he is about to ascend to heaven at any moment.

It’s so simple that I don’t understand it at all.

When you add sweet to sweet, doesn’t the taste of either side usually get buried?

“where… .”

It was so delicious that I tried it again even though I knew I was being fooled.

If you take a bite of the cream puff and drink a coffee mix that makes water control amazing… .

“Wow.”

The sweetness mixed here and there became a taste that was neither here nor there.

I used all my facial muscles to scrunch up my face, and when he saw me, he laughed.

“That look doesn’t look familiar.”

“… … .”

“The guild leader always makes that look when he eats sweets… .”

… Did they really have a clue about something this time?

“Do men just not like sweets?”

That can’t be possible.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

It burned white… .

Was the expression ‘fish out of water’ created to be used in situations like this?

I underestimated the stamina of this guy who found a conversation partner that I liked after a long time.

I never thought we would talk until dinner.

“Well, I guess I should go now.”

He came early in the morning and returned home just as the sun was setting.

It just feels like today has been deleted.

I put on a jumper and leave the house together with the guy who wakes up from his seat.

“Why are you following me?”

“I want to see you off.”

Then he smiled broadly, stretched out his arm, and tapped my arm.

“Other than the guild leader, you are the first person I like!”

“under… under.”

Since you’re the same person, you still only like one person.

As I go down the stairs with him, Jeonghee opens the door and comes out.

“Oh my, Dojin! I was just about to tell him to eat dinner… place?”

Jeonghee looks at Sia, who was walking down with me, and tilts her head.

“This is… ?”

what.

Could this be a dangerous situation?

“Ah, this place… .”

I was about to step forward and explain the situation, but Jeonghee spoke one step faster.

“Princess!”

“Oh, you know Princess Bonn?”

“sure! Oh my, what should I do! “I’m your fan!”

Jeong-hee stamps her feet and makes a fuss as if she has just seen a doll she likes.

You’ve never shown me like that before… .

“Dojin! “Can you take a picture?”

“… yes.”

Suddenly, I became a photographer.

He takes countless pictures of the two of them using the smartphone he received from Jeonghee.

“Thank you very much! “Please come visit my house next time, and I’ll prepare you lots of delicious food.”

As Jeonghee spoke with her hands wide open, Shia asked with a skeptical look in her eyes.

“that word… , It’s not a lie, right?”

This was his own confirmation work.

There have been many people who have approached Sia since ancient times.

Is it because I was captivated by the pretty face or because I liked the unique concept?

After coming to visit so well, they all left as if they were sick of it.

From then on, Sia developed the habit of being suspicious of people’s words.

If the expression on your face is the same when answering a question, it means that you are willing to trust them just once.

And what happens if you get betrayed?

What happens?

You will be out of his mind forever.

Although he is a delicate child, he has a surprisingly determined side and will not even look at someone he has caught his eye on.

“Oh, of course! “Come anytime!”

Sia smiles a little as she relaxes her mind at Jeong-hee’s unchanging feelings.

“then… , I will visit next time.”

“Ho Ho! Be cute. “Then I’ll be waiting for you, princess?”

After listing his favorite foods for reference, he started walking again.

When I got out of the building, I couldn’t see his car where I should have.

“Did you by any chance not bring a car?”

“I came by taxi.”

You still have the habit of preferring taxis over your own car.

“then… , let’s go. “I’ll go out and get you a taxi.”

After passing through the darkened alley, I reached the main street and waved at a passing taxi.

Sia got into the taxi with a calm expression, opened the window, looked up at me, and opened her mouth.

“Thank you for today. “I’m sorry your day went by because of me.”

It seemed like he was having fun while playing, but then started to get worried.

I smiled as brightly as I could and reassured him.

“are you okay. “I was planning to be really bored today too.”

“Hmm, I see.”

Seeing the corners of his mouth rise slightly, it seems as if a worry has been lifted from his mind.

“then… , Can I come again next time?”

“what… “What if I just contact you?”

“Next time, be sure to contact me in advance!”

“Okay, then.”

What can I do?

I am the only one who can accept that lonely cat.

He’s secretly very shameful and won’t come over often, so let’s have fun with him every time he comes.

After waving lightly at her as she leaves in a taxi, I head back home.

Then, suddenly, I sighed as I looked at the streetlights that weren’t turning on all over the alley.

“I guess I’ll have to take a look at that too.”

If all the street lights were turned on, the alley wouldn’t be this dark.

Aside from me and Yoo-jeong, I’m afraid that Jeong-hee will come into harm’s way when she comes home at night.

Okay, I’ve decided.

Let’s talk to Mr. Jian soon and get in trouble at the nearby neighborhood office or district office.

I guess I’ll have to ask them to install a protective system that’s good for frying.

“Let’s solve that tomorrow… .”

We’re exhausted from dealing with Sia, so let’s take a quick rest after dinner today.

What is the menu for dinner tonight?

When I opened the door a moment ago, there was a really delicious smell.

When I was crossing a dark alley at a fast pace while quenching my appetite.

“Aaaah!”

Suddenly, a sharp scream is heard from somewhere not far away.

“… no.”

What is it again?
