Although they sent a letter summoning Sylvester, he was not a wizard and could not have flown in in one step.
‘It takes time just for the letter to arrive, and there is no guarantee that the letter will be confirmed right away… … .’
It would take time for Sylvester to arrive. In the meantime, I decided to do my own thing first.
“Axion, shall we take a quick look around the mansion?”
“Wow?”
Axion, who was sitting in the cradle playing with his feet, tilted his head. She gently stroked the child’s pale white cheek and gently held him in his arms.
“Tsk. “Let’s go see Dazar!”
“Kya!”
Axion smiled as if he recognized Dazar’s name.
It was a change that occurred after I visited Ruben’s Island, or rather, after I got sick. While I was lying down sick, Dazar had no choice but to take care of Vanilla and Axion, and what happened then was that Axion started to really like Dazar.
‘Before, it looked like a stone rolling on the floor.’
Actually, at that time, I was very worried about whether she would be able to take care of the child without me. It seems she didn’t have to worry. The children have been eating well, sleeping well, and playing well.
Well, anyway, it was a positive thing in terms of social skills to have someone to follow besides me and Carl, the main caregivers.
I started walking down the hallway with the child in my arms.
‘by the way… … It’s a little strange, after all.’
After it was confirmed that Axion was Ruben, I was filled with doubts. This is because the current situation is different from the original work I read in my previous life.
There is no mention of Axion being Ruben. No, the word Ruben is not even mentioned at all.
‘Is there something wrong with my memory?’
It was a memorable novel because the content was unique from the Namjoo’s point of view, but since quite a bit of time had passed, I would not have been able to remember all the content completely.
Umm. However, the fact that the male lead’s identity is Ruben is the core setting of the work. I don’t think there’s any way I wouldn’t remember this.
‘As expected, something is different.’
but. It was strange that there was rice in this world. Although a food shortage was expected, rice did not appear in the novel.
So just because it was different from the original didn’t mean there would be a problem right now between me and Axion.
As I headed toward Dazar’s room, I came to my own conclusion.
‘A parallel world to the world in the novel… … Let’s say you come into a place like that.’
No matter how much I thought about it, there was no way to explain rice or Ruben, who did not appear in the novel. I didn’t know why I was in Celia’s body, and there was no way I could find the reason for the content being different from the novel.
‘Then, it means that there can be settings everywhere that are different from the original work.’
For example, in the original work, he appears as a good character, but in real life, he is a villain. Or, unlike the original, there is a much deeper story.
Like this person right in front of me.
“… … what?”
For some reason, Dazar, who was sitting at his desk looking at documents, raised his eyebrows at my appearance. He has a look in his eyes that tells him he doesn’t like something.
“Well, anyway. “It’s a person.”
“That’s not it, why are you here now?”
Well, why don’t you come here? If the door was left wide open, you should expect a sudden visit from a guest. While my inner intimacy with him had grown significantly since the Reuben Tower incident, I felt a little sad to see him react like this… … .
“Well, shouldn’t you rest more?”
“… … huh?”
“… … ?”
What is that fake person wearing Dazar’s mask?
There’s no way Dazar would look at me with such concern and talk to me like that.
“what’s the matter? “Is there anything here?”
Dazar looked around as he watched me step back while holding Axion tightly.
“Or is it still painful?”
“… … “Ummmm.”
Dazar got up from his seat, took a step towards me, and placed the back of his hand on my forehead… … .
“Reveal your identity. “It’s a fake disguised as Dazar.”
It looked so friendly, but it was also so unfamiliar.
“I don’t have a fever.”
Dazar checked my forehead to see if there was any heat and tilted his head.
“Did you lose your mind from shock after visiting Ruben’s Tower? No, no. Lady Evanroar is a person famous for being strange, so she can show strange appearances like this sometimes… … . Wow.”
“That’s really weird, isn’t it? Why is she acting friendly all of a sudden?”
I lightly kicked the shin of Dazar, who was making a dog noise, and he crumpled his face.
Oh, is there even Moroccanil here somewhere?
I remember the last time we met at Moroccanil and Reuben’s tower, where he had clung to me and acted friendly, and I looked around, but we were the only ones in this room.
“flattery?”
Axion grabbed the black hair of Dazar, who was lowering his head in front of him to caress his shin, with his small hand.
“Ouch, why is this guy like this again?”
“Ooh!”
Then, thanks to Axion’s refusal to let go of Dazar’s hair, I had to give him my arms.
After a brief commotion, we sat facing each other on the sofa as before.
“aha. So, you’re saying it’s because you feel good about spring coming?”
“… … I don’t know. “I guess that’s how you feel.”
Dazar said with a sullen expression.
Hmm. To say that it feels good to have spring… …
“Did you speak so kindly to Morokanil as well?”
“No way?”
Dazar looked like he was going to vomit. Yuck. And then, for some reason, unlike before, I looked at the slightly dented wall and wrinkled my face.
I was curious as to why the wall was so caved in, but I decided to solve this problem first.
‘If you decide that you are my person, do you tend to be nice to that person?’
After finding out that Axion was Ruben, we ended up becoming like comrades.
Why, there are people like that. He is usually cold-hearted and unlucky, but when he thinks of you as his person, he takes care of you and treats you well, as if he will take out your liver and gallbladder.
They say that kind of person is really kind.
“Why am I suddenly curious? “I think I’m the same as usual.”
“Uhm. no. nothing.”
I waved my hand as if it was no big deal and walked slightly away from him. Then Dazar narrowed his eyes and came closer to me.
As soon as you move away, you say, swoosh, and then you come closer.
We sat across from each other on the sofa, but somehow our posture became strange. I had my back completely pressed against the sofa, and Dazar barely had his butt covered.
At the same time, I was holding Axion who wouldn’t let go of me, so my posture looked very uncomfortable.
‘What is this… … ?’
Whether he did it or not, I was in a bit of an awkward situation. For some reason, the forehead where Dazar had touched the back of his hand felt hot, as if it were really hot.
This must have been because Dazar was acting uncharacteristically friendly, causing an allergic reaction. If he continues to be in such a good mood, I think I should keep a little distance from him, so I blurted out.
“The rice is all grown.”
“… … already?”
Dazar’s eyes widened at the sudden remark. The golden eyes contained feelings of surprise and joy. At the same time, I unintentionally felt a feeling similar to guilt passing by.
Since we dedicated our previous world to Ruben, we should be happy that we can solve the food crisis. It seemed like he was feeling complex emotions.
I pretended not to notice the look in his eyes and held out my hand. No matter how much I became a comrade who shares the same goals with him, it was impossible for me to understand and sympathize with all of his feelings. It might be rude to him to sympathize with something I haven’t experienced.
I said, putting on an innocent face that didn’t notice his emotions.
“please.”
“… … what?”
Dazar, who seemed to be getting a little gloomy, looked at my hand and tilted his head. Instead of complex emotions, there was pure curiosity in his eyes.
Why do I feel fortunate about that? It seemed like she had become attached to this unlucky, crazy in-law.
But that’s it, this is this.
I said firmly.
“Money.”
“ah.”
Dazar blinked a couple of times.
“We were supposed to get paid once we grew all the rice.”
It was definitely organized that way. Originally, I was going to support Axion and Vanilla’s sweet post-contract relationship, but I thought that would be more counterproductive, so I decided to accept the money.
Then Dazar looked at my palm and snorted.
“You’ve raised everything, but it’s not completely finished yet, right? “It’s not a good idea to give it away right now.”
No, this kid?
“It’s almost like it’s over. “Now all that’s left is the harvest.”
“Last time I saw it, it seemed like you had to go through another process to get the rice grains.”
When did you see that again?
Dazar wrinkled his nose slightly, ‘Am I right?’ He made a face. Well, it was funny because Axion was pulling my hair.
“It is difficult to do that work with this amount of labor. They say there wasn’t this much rice before, but now there’s too much.”
“… … so?”
“I need that money to pay for the machine I ordered from Ralph.”
“Ralph?”
It’s a little annoying to explain that I’m the owner of a store called ‘You can make bulging muscles with that machine, too.’
I waved my hand roughly.
“there is. I have already ordered the machines needed for milling and threshing. “You can get it only if you pay the price.”
“… … hmm.”
Then Dazar placed his hand on top of mine. His big hands were still warm.
“If that’s the case, I shouldn’t treat it as the compensation I have to pay you. The Siaster family will pay, and I will pay you when all work is completed.”
“… … .”
Dazar said and added:
“Of course, the end of everything is tasting.”
Oh, so you want to try freshly harvested rice and then decide? I picked up Axion, who refused to leave Dazar, and left his room.
Hanging on one side of his waist was a pocket full of bundles of money he had brought from somewhere.
‘I suddenly feel rich… … ?’
It was a much larger amount than expected. Are you saying I can keep the rest of the money? Is that it? Looking a little excited, I quickly put the money bag in my room and came out.
First of all, it was late to leave for the capital today, so I planned to play with Axion for the remaining time.
“… … If all goes according to plan… … .”
“okay. she is… … .”
And then I found two people whispering not far away.
It was Elston and Cedric.
The two were a little too close together, and the way they kept whispering made me feel very suspicious.
‘huh… … ?’
