“Oh oh. Look at this sofa. Celia. Maybe it’s because it’s the sofa from the Duke of Siaster, but it’s very soft! “It’s completely different from the sofa in our mansion.”
The day I trudged back with a vain look on my face, what greeted me was Carl, who had finished drinking carp juice piled up like a mountain on the table, and the light of respect and emotion was pouring from his eyes.
Now that I think about it, I couldn’t even talk to Karl because I had to meet Dazar as soon as I came to this residence.
I sat down on the chair in front of him and muttered a question.
“why. Is it that good? “Grandpa.”
I looked like a defeated boxer, panting with a white towel over his head, but it seemed like I couldn’t see Karl, who was soaked in emotion.
He was shaking his body as if he were going to dance.
“Yes, of course. Isn’t it a seaster? Ah, the day is coming when Celia’s abilities will be recognized like this!”
“haha… … .”
I smiled awkwardly.
Karl said, wiping the corners of his eyes slightly.
“I firmly believed that this day would come someday. Hehehe. Since Axion came, good things have come one after another. “Isn’t Axion a blessing?”
Although I was dazed by shock and fear about non-recyclable trash.
It felt like my heart was calming down a little since Grandpa Carl liked it so much.
He smiled warmly. The wrinkles around the eyes were nicely folded.
“We will solve your money problem and solve Axion’s education problem!”
“… … .”
“This old man will also do his best to help Celia!”
Then, behind Karl, who was in a fighting pose with both fists clenched, a mountain of crucian carp juice came into view.
I slowly lowered my eyes and asked.
“So you ate it all at once?”
“haha. In order to support young Celia, we need to provide the right fuel for her old body. “It shouldn’t be done in small amounts.”
“… … .”
I took one look at Axion, who was sleeping on my bed, and another look at Karl, who was smiling sweetly, and then sighed.
Ugh.
okay. Now I’m like the head of a family.
I am the one responsible for these two people.
‘That’s trash. All you have to do is step on it and make it recyclable, right?
But they refused, saying they were busy, right? Damn them.
How do you tease that?
At that time, when I was deep in thought, Karl held his hands together like a girl and whispered.
“Ho, have you by any chance seen the Black Hawk Knights here? Run wild, black hawk! “That is.”
I saw that trash very well.
I also saw him rolling around on the floor unintentionally.
“Uh, uh. Uh, how did it happen?”
“No, my God! “Are you sure you joined the Knights Templar?”
“huh… … .”
Karl put his hands on his hips and made a scolding face.
“You didn’t go away empty-handed, right?”
“That’s right… … .”
“Why don’t you at least bring a gift?”
gift? The gift is a mess.
“Still, aren’t you going to be spending quite a bit of time here? It’s like I’ve just moved. Greeting your neighbors politely with a gift… … .”
Carl’s nagging sounded faintly, as if from far away.
move. gift. neighbor.
When I heard these three words, something came to mind.
In Korea, when you move, you give away rice cakes.
‘♥3040 Gourmet gathering to eat and drink♥’
The words on the tapestry passed through my mind at the same time.
‘Ohh?’
Should I try to trick you into something to eat?
“knife. “Where is the rice from Viscount Evan Roar’s warehouse?”
“yes? Why are you suddenly looking for that? We sent it by carriage before we left. “It should be piled up in the warehouse of the annex by now.”
When he suddenly found the rice, Karl’s face became anxious.
His eyes blurred for a moment.
It was definitely a flashback to a few days ago.
Cold sweat soon formed on his forehead. He smiled a little awkwardly and looked at me.
His eyes were speaking. No, right? Please say no. Celia. It won’t be that hard work again. It can’t be!
I cruelly crushed his little hope.
“let’s go. To work. “I have to pay for the carp juice.”
* * *
We worked until the sun set and the moon rose.
By the time the words “evil employer” came out of Karl’s mouth, the threshing and polishing work I had done with him last time was over.
I made a lot more rice grains than last time.
This was in case it was suddenly needed again like this time.
When all the work was finished, Carl shouted for independence.
Last time, I think I collapsed on the floor as soon as I finished work, but I was still full of energy after I finished, probably because I ate a lot of crucian carp juice.
“I will be back.”
“Woah, do you mind if I don’t come with you?”
“Okay then. I am not a child. “I’m just visiting the mill for a bit.”
Carl must have overexerted himself, but he suffered from muscle pain the next day.
My conscience was ready to grab a knife and commit seppuku if I kept pampering him, who was creaking like a broken machine, so I decided to go to the mill myself.
“Still, this kind of thing happens from beginning to end…” … .”
“no way. it’s okay.”
It seemed like he meant to ask Lord Siaster’s attendant, but that wasn’t possible.
I didn’t want to be in debt to that crazy in-law. It was an instinctive warning.
“Rest, Carl!”
I quickly left the Seastar residence.
The reason I went to the mill was to transport rice flour to make rice cakes.
Yesterday, we loaded a wagon full of rice that had been soaked in water for over half a day.
There was probably no machine here to make powder, so I had to go to the mill.
I went down the mountain path and entered the city closest to Duke Siaster’s residence.
Naturally, it would belong to a duchy.
Thanks to the driver’s request, the carriage headed to the mill without stopping.
The mill was on the outskirts of the city.
“I’m trying to turn this into powder.”
The employees who were working at the mill blinked when they saw the rice I gave them.
“What is this?”
“You mean that?”
“I don’t think it’s Miar.”
They couldn’t bear to ask me, who looked like a nobleman, so they whispered among themselves and soon gave up on finding an answer and turned on the machine.
The machine originally used to make miar powder today holds rice.
After easily receiving the rice flour and paying for it, I was leaving the mill.
“uh?”
Just as I was about to get on the carriage, a strange question mark flew out from behind me.
I hesitantly put my foot on the carriage.
Celia’s network was narrow, so it was impossible for someone to see me and pretend to know me from this far away.
It was a low possibility that one day, an ant would suddenly grow wings and fly away.
“Huh?”
“… … .”
“Uh huh?”
But that reaction, expressing my presence almost in my ear, gives me hope that even ants will be able to fly one day… … .
No, when I thought about it, ants were originally able to fly. There was an ant that could fly. that’s right.
I came to a deep realization and turned around.
“Celia?”
“?”
The person who was attacking me was a sad-looking guy.
He looked like a nobleman just by looking at his clothes. He had his mouth wide open and was pointing at me with his index finger.
What kind of un-aristocratic rudeness this is.
I lifted my chin slightly and looked down at him with a haughty face.
This was possible because we were on the carriage steps and our heights were similar.
“Why are you here? Shouldn’t it be in Viscounty territory? I can’t believe you came this far. “Isn’t this surprising?”
It seems like you know me quite well.
I tentatively opened my eyes and looked at him slowly.
After meeting the black hawk the other day, I had half given up hope that I would meet a better person in the future, so when I looked at him, my face turned as ugly as a freshly picked potato.
Hmm. Who was it? I feel like I’ve seen this somewhere before.
“Why, why do you look at me like that?”
“100 million.”
“Celia?”
As I searched through the memories of this body, I was startled.
This man!
Celia’s childhood friend,
Academy alumnus,
First love,
It was the man she had a crush on.
Huh!
“Celia! for a moment! Where!”
“Sir, you looked at the wrong person.”
I hurriedly rushed into the carriage, shaking like a machine that had been greatly shocked.
When he called my name outside, I ignored him with a lost expression and locked the door.
“Chulbaal!”
“Celiaaa!”
Hee hee! The horses neighed and the carriage began to run.
Along with the horse’s neighing, I also made a groaning sound.
“This is crazy.”
Eventually, what came out of my mouth was not a scream of sadness or joy that I had met the person I was in love with, but a curse full of shame and shame.
As soon as I remembered who that man was, the crazy things Celia had done to that man in the past came back to me.
‘hey. I picked it up when I came. ‘Eat it.’
‘Eup! S, Celia! I’m allergic to carrots… … ! Save me! ‘Uweek.’
‘Shut up and eat.’
‘Sniff. Celia, why are you doing this to me? Sobbing.’
‘Yes, I cry like that. Cry more. huh? haha.’
I deliberately fed him something he couldn’t eat just to see his crying face,
Despising the man who has been in second place for 10,000 years,
I ordered a bread shuttle every day.
I trembled and was overcome with shame at this shameless memory.
Why on earth is there nothing normal about this body?
