195 – Personal interview (2)
Verosa, after promising to fulfill her request, which was very unexpected, left the prayer room.
“uh… … .”
Lee Seol, who was standing against the opposite wall in an outfit that hadn’t changed from a moment ago, opened the door and made eye contact with me.
“Shut up, are you done?”
Was it because he thought he looked messy?
Unlike the first time, not only did he stutter, but the red aura started from his neck and gradually spread to his entire face.
To me, who is slowly getting used to Idni, who goes wild every day, and Na Yeon-joo, Lee Seol’s behavior I’ve seen so far is a satisfactory child.
“From now on, don’t notice and rest in peace.”
“Yes, yes… … .”
I had no intention of scolding him, but the child in front of me shrugged his shoulders even more as he answered my words, as if he had accepted them that way.
“This theory.”
“Yes, Professor, Neim… … ?”
As I put my hand on the top of my head, which was exposed defenselessly, and stroked it, he looked up at me with his horse’s tail hanging down.
“I think the interview should be postponed to next Tuesday.”
“Yes? Oh yes, yes… … It’s okay, it’s okay… … .”
“yes.”
In response to a blankly nodded face with a red flower in bloom, he removed the hand that was stroking his hair and continued talking.
“It’s literally an interview, so if you want to ask me anything, feel free to ask. There’s no need to see you off, so we’ll see you in the next lecture.”
With both eyes wide open, I turned away from the guy who was staring blankly at me. And the moment I turned the corner and stepped on the stairs.
-Sah, take a look… … !!
Unlike so far, which contained etiquette and restraint, I heard a voice that contained the original personality as it was.
‘If I put it next to Idney, the porridge might match surprisingly well.’
I came downstairs and erased my presence as I left the temple with the priest who was still standing there with a nervous look on his face.
Even after only a few minutes, due to the influence of lunchtime, the streets of light were crowded with quite a few people, and I walked through the gaps between the people and entered the temple of Yu-Hee-sin, whose door was open.
‘This is my first time.’
Lee Ye-sol, who should normally be welcoming the congregation in front of the chapel, was nowhere to be seen.
I didn’t visit her because of business, but if I confronted that goddamn bastard right now, the anger I’d barely suppressed would burst out and I’m sure he’d destroy his personal statue.
Destroying his statue is something I’d be happy to do, but I didn’t want to waste my time on him for Claire, who was waiting for me at the mansion.
For that reason, I stepped on the stairs to the third floor and stopped at the end of the hallway.
“Lee Ye-sol.”
-oh.
Lee Ye-sol’s voice flowed through the thick door crack, and soon after, the closed door opened, and Lee Ye-sol, dressed in a lighter outfit than usual, showed her face.
“I’m sorry. I was taking a break for a while.”
“never mind.”
“hehehe, please come inside.”
A plain, undecorated room, furnished with just the bare essentials.
Is the size slightly larger than a hundred and one rooms?
“Are you going to give it to him?”
“Ah, yes. It is my only pleasure these days.”
In response to my question, Lee Ye-sol smiled modestly and held up a half-formed black dress that was a little smaller than the palm of her hand that was placed on the bed.
“But why… … ?”
It was only after she finished explaining the half-finished dress with a genuinely happy expression that Lee Ye-sol regained her reason and asked me.
In response, I briefly summarized the conversation I had with Verossa.
“Then, on the day of the general meeting, I will have all the temples closed.”
And Lee Ye-sol, who heard the whole story, accepted my proposal without even mentioning Vuir.
“What’s the schedule after that?”
“I’m going to go downstairs as usual and have a face-to-face meeting.”
Lee Ye-sol, who, as a habit, gently covers her mouth and smiles.
“Then let’s go to the mansion together for a while.”
“The mansion, you mean?”
I nodded at Lee Ye-sol’s reaction as she slightly tilted her head.
“We need to renew Claire’s conquest.”
At the same time, Lee Ye-sol’s face hardened.
“… … Perhaps there was a quarrel in a place I did not know about.”
A woman who thinks of and cares for her superiors more than anyone else, looking for opportunities to tease her superiors whenever she has a chance.
“No. Even if there was, it’s not a skill that Claire would run around with.”
“… That’s right. then?”
“Perhaps he arrived late in his growing season, his clothes were a bit small.”
“yes?”
He opened his eyes wide and looked up at me with a puzzled gaze.
“So… … The existing conquest doesn’t fit the Executor’s body… Are you talking… … ?”
“yes.”
“Oh my gosh.”
Lee Ye-Sol raised her body again with her characteristic smirk.
“The clothes you’ve been wearing for 10 years have suddenly gotten smaller, have you gained weight? Woo hoo~”
Then he opened a drawer, put on some tools and a white robe, and spoke to me.
“Go away.”
Lee Ye-sol’s eyes were full of mischief.

“Go oh… … .”
Claire, who was coming to meet me from the bedroom, noticed Lee Ye-sol standing behind me, and at the same time hardened her slightly loose face.
“… Did you?”
“yes.”
“Excuse me.”
Ye-Sol Lee followed me inside and changed into slippers.
Swoop.
After staring at Lee Ye-sol for a moment, Claire comes over to me and takes the coat as usual and puts it on her arm.
“How do you eat… … .”
“Lift lightly.”
“Yes. I will prepare.”
Claire hung her coat on a hanger and walked quietly into the kitchen.
and the meal that follows.
“The little one seems to be taking a nap.”
“… … Yes.”
It seems that he is trying to show off as much as possible on the outside, but unfortunately, his dissatisfied feelings are revealed through Claire’s narrowed eyes and hardened mouth.
“Huh, you ate well.”
Lee Ye-sol, who emptied the bowl, got up from her seat and cleaned the empty bowl with Claire. And when the table is finished.
“professor. Then, would it be all right if I borrowed the bailiff for a while?”
“… Are you borrowing?”
Claire, who was taking off her apron, looked at me with round eyes and twitched her eyelids.
“Shouldn’t the conquest be renewed?”
“… … !!”
Perhaps my answer was unexpected, Claire’s shoulders trembled and she couldn’t properly hide her embarrassment.
“That, that alone… … .”
“I’ve brought all my tools, so let’s go to the bedroom.”
“No, I, I… … sleep, sleep… … Mi, push… .”
“The professor personally took the time to bring me… … ?”
“Oops.”
Claire, who resisted for a moment and gave me a helping look, eventually collapsed at Lee Ye-sol’s words and left the kitchen led by a weak subordinate for a long time.

late evening.

Renewing Claire’s body measurements took longer than expected, and the two came out of the bedroom when the children returned to the mansion after their lectures.
And Claire and the children’s sparring continues as usual.
Afterwards, the children finished their last day in the shower and gathered in the kitchen as usual to have dinner with the dishes I made.
I got up from my seat and said to the children who were stroking their stomachs with satisfaction.
“There is a little time left, so please come into the study one by one.”
“… … !!”
Baek Ha-na, who was playing with the fairy spread out on the table, looked this way, and the other children who were stretched out also looked this way with a little puzzled eyes.
Only Claire and Yesol Lee are a little puzzled by the sudden reaction of the children.
Just like that, leave the children behind and come into the study and sit down for a while.
Knock. Knock. Knock.
With a polite knock, the door to the study opened, and Maria, with her beige hair neatly trimmed, entered the study.
“Sit comfortably.”
“yes.”
Maria crawls into a small chair placed in front of the desk and sits in the right posture.
“It’s formal, so you don’t have to be very nervous.”
He nodded slightly, but his face was still full of tension.
“Do you have any questions you want to ask me or something you would like to say personally?”
“There is not.”
“It’s okay to worry a little more.”
“Um… … .”
Then I close my eyes and start thinking. And in a few seconds, the eyelids go up again.
“None either.”
I nodded my head, accepting the gaze that was looking at me confidently.
“Maria.”
“Yes, Professor.”
He waits for my words with a more relaxed face, as if he had shaken off the tension in that moment.
“After that, it’s okay even if it’s trivial. If you ever feel like you need my help, let me know.”
“yes. I will… … Yes Yes?”
There shouldn’t have been any surprises.
“Ah, that, yes, yes… … That, I will.”
“I’ll ask you to take good care of me in the future.”
“… … you’re a friend Do not worry.”
“yes. You can stop and leave.”
“Yes.”
He left the study with a slight bow of his head, and left the study quietly. and next.
-This is Edney… … !!
“Come in.”
It must have been time to get used to it.
A girl with loose pink hair, which is as rare as Maria’s, entered the study.
“Sit down.”
“Yes, yes!!”
Although they have opposite personalities to Maria, their postures matched without any error, to the extent that they could be called sisters as long as they sat in the chair.
“You’re still very nervous after seeing it for six years.”
“Ah, that, sin, sorry… … .”
“I’m not criticizing you, so don’t apologize.”
“Yes, yes… … to?”
There shouldn’t have been any surprises this time around.
“If you have any questions or comments, please do so.”
“Uh, that, uh, no… … !!”
“Quiet in the mansion.”
“Ah, yes, yes… … .”
“yes.”
Looking at Idni, who was sitting stiffly like a soldier with a confused expression on her face, I was naturally compared to Na Yeon-joo, who was approaching me quite comfortably after only seeing her a few times.
“Come this way.”
“Yes Yes… … .”
Idni got up from her seat and came to my side, unaware of the absurd mistake of moving her left foot and left hand together.
“Idney.”
“Yes, yes, Professor.”
“Look back.”
“Ah, yes, yes!!”
As I turned around vigorously, my loose hair fluttered lightly.
I stretched out my hands and gently brushed the light pink hair that was loose and gathered it neatly.
“School, professor… … ?”
“I am always grateful to you and Maria.”
“Yes Yes?”
For Baek Ha-na, who sometimes acts childishly, she took out a spare hair tie from the drawer and tied Edney’s hair neatly.
“Please stay with Hana as you are now.”
“ah… … Well, you don’t have to say that. Hana is a friend, so even if you don’t have to say that, you’ll be fine as you are now.”
I wonder where she stuttered because she was nervous, but Idney gave me strength in her voice to tell me her sincerity.
“yes. i get it.”
Finally, I got up and stroked Idni’s hair once.
“There is little time left, but it seems like it will end halfway, so it’s better to stop going back today.”
“… … Yes, yes.”
I came out of the study with Idney, whose body temperature rose rapidly.
“What about the interview?”
“Time is halfway, so let’s do the rest tomorrow. Stop going back today.”
“Eek… … .”
Hana Baek made a strange sound and pouted her lips.
“Huh, then I’ll go away too.”
Lee Ye-sol, who was sitting at the table and stroking the fairy’s stomach, stood up.
– Beep.
Perhaps realizing that it was time for everyone to go back, the small calamity burped again and managed to get up and flap its wings.
“See you tomorrow~”
“see you tommorow.”
“I’ll see you tomorrow… … .”
The children say hello first and leave the front door.
“I will prepare for the conquest quickly. And.”
Lee Ye-Sol stepped forward for a moment and smiled lightly at the fairy riding on Claire’s shoulder.
“Promise, do you remember?”
-Wow, that’s okay… … !!
“Whoops, then.”
Bowing their heads towards me and Claire, the last remaining Lee Yesol left the mansion.
“A cup of coffee, please.”
“Yes. Mr. Woojin.”
After passing through the quiet hallway and returning to the study, I put the chair in front of the desk back to its original position and leaned against my seat. And not long after, Claire came in with a teacup.
She places a teacup in front of me and carefully sits next to me.
– Ujjin.
I was about to lift my teacup and take a sip of coffee, but the guy who was riding on Claire’s shoulder flew up and got on my shoulder. Then he put his hands to his lips and whispered very softly.
-Claire is the Epou Cup.
“Cough, Cough… … ?!”
Claire couldn’t stop coughing for a while.
