87 – Criminal discovery
After arriving at Ettle, Ronan sighed a lot.
He basically has less emotional ups and downs.
In other words, it also means that you are very rarely drawn to the mood of the people around you.
Thanks to that, I was always able to maintain a rational attitude without being swayed by others, although there were times when I was praised for that.
The problem is that there is no situation in which he is as toilful as when those around him are making a fuss alone.
“Can’t you see it here?”
“maybe.”
The two followed Edgar and Ariel into a restaurant.
By the way, this was also one of the restaurants Shuri recommended to my host in advance.
It’s also the place I came to with Ronan before.
The two of them settled in a position that would be covered by a potted plant, fearing that Ariel would find out if they sat in a place that was too conspicuous.
Unlike Ronan, who glanced at the menu in front of him because he needed to eat, Shuri’s eyes were fixed on one spot.
Eventually, Ronan, who decided to use shock therapy, lifted one of the hands holding the menu and left it… … .
bean!
“Huh!?”
I hit Shuri’s head.
“Why did you hit me… … !?”
“Stop looking at the lady and pick out a meal.”
“Hey, you can do it with words.”
“If I had been able to hear it in words, I would have said it in words.”
Normally, she is quite calm, but Shuri, who is immersed in her work, tends to fall into a different world to the extent that she cannot see her surroundings.
That’s why Ronan knew better than anyone else that it would be difficult if he didn’t apply the brakes once in a while.
“Well, then I’ll do it with this one.”
“Is that enough?”
“Then this… … .”
Shuri chose the same menu that she ate the previous time.
In addition, after choosing a drink to accompany it, Ronan called one of the waiters behind him to order a meal.
Soon after, the waitress who had written down all the menus disappeared with a polite greeting, and Shuri drank from a glass of water in front of her and suddenly smiled profusely.
“What are you laughing at?”
“Heh, it’s nice to come to play with you after a long time.”
“… You speak well.”
It was Ronan who laughed as if it was ridiculous, but there was definitely a part of her words that I sympathized with.
We’ve been busy with each other lately, especially since Shuri has a separate owner to take care of, so it’s hard to see her more, so we haven’t had that kind of time.
Maybe that’s why, even though they had different reasons for coming to Ettle, it was enjoyable to spend time together like this.
In fact, except for the time when they were chasing the man and woman sitting over there, the two of them enjoyed a warm time while sightseeing normally.
“how? Is it good to come out?”
“Shouldn’t be nice. If it wasn’t for some strange reason.”
“Wouldn’t this also remain as a memory in its own way?”
“memory?”
Ronan wondered if he had heard it wrong, so he repeated the words in question.
At this, Shuri gently nods her head and shows off a meaningless laugh again.
And then I was like, ‘Oh, isn’t it… … ?’ It was the appearance of a small animal being scolded by its owner.
‘If it’s a memory, is it a memory?’

Looking back, there are some people who rationalize that nightmares were memories of their own, so Ronan nodded, thinking that it wasn’t too wrong.
Shuri smiled brightly at his positivity and gulped down the fruit drink that arrived before she knew it.
Ronan inadvertently thought it looked like a squirrel that hadn’t drunk water in a month.
Not long after the two had a conversation, the food arrived.
Ronan is quite a glutton, and when Shuri caught me, he ate quite a bit, so the dishes were large enough to fill the table.
“Did you order too much?”
“I will have enough.”
“Yes, I will believe you.”
Shuri, who smiled brightly, started eating right away, and Ronan followed suit, moving his fork and knife with his arms outstretched.
Its speed and appearance were so militant that people around it stared at it one after another after they had finished their meal.
Of course, it was a familiar sight to Shuri, so she continued to eat at her own pace and only occasionally looked at Ronan, who happily ate, with a soft smile on.
As for the meal, I felt it the other day as well, but it was quite satisfactory.
In particular, for Shuri, who likes meat, the juicy steak and the accompanying sauce were the best choice.
“It was all buried and eaten.”
Meanwhile, Ronan, who was clearing the food in front of him before he knew it, picked up the napkin in front of him and wiped Shuri’s mouth.
He had no way of knowing how he could assist and stand by others in such a clumsy subject.
It must mean that the division of construction is clear and thorough when working, but every time I see this kind of appearance, it is all the same.
Ronan, who had finished eating first, helped Shuri with her meal little by little, and as a short amount of time passed, the trailing targets beyond the obscured vision raised their bodies.
“Roa, Roahan… ! Follow me… … !”
In response, Shuri, who was munching on the steak, hurriedly shouted, leaving the food in her mouth behind.
I wonder how he would have looked at the subject of focusing on food, but Ronan didn’t bother pointing it out and nodded as if he had given up.
“… I understand, so swallow everything in your mouth and wake up.”
After such a quiet mealtime, the chase began again out of nowhere.
* * * * * * *
Ariel realized right after arriving at Ettle that Shuri was following her, but as time went on, her attitude towards dealing with this changed little by little.
To be precise, she was enjoying the situation quite a bit.
Originally, she doesn’t like to attract attention from people around her.
He hated the feeling that someone was watching him, and the feeling that he had to worry about his behavior.
However, for some reason, this chasing and chasing now had its own pleasure.
If I had to express it, would it be fresh?
First of all, the most interesting thing was that Ariel was clearly seeing through Shuri’s current thoughts.
Although Shuri is well acquainted with Ariel, she is not exactly sure of her magical skills or inaction.
That’s why he can’t even guess that Ariel is aware of his existence.
Because of that, Shuri hid herself here and there in buildings and structures in her own way, tracking the two, but the problem was that Ariel could clearly see it through her eyes and senses.
In other words, he thinks that he is following his master well without being caught, but he is not.
The difference in position that comes from that gap made Ariel very happy.
‘There must have been Ronan next to him.’
He would be the only person who would suit such a nonsensical act.
Even if Ariel didn’t know much about the man named Ronan, she knew that she and Shuri had a very special relationship.
Just like her and Edgar now.
“Does it look good somehow?”
“Cook-Cook, is it?”
“If you find anything interesting, let me know. Don’t have fun alone.”
“Ugh, what should I do… … .”
Of course, it was her intention to let Edgar know when the time was right, but she thought it would be a little boring to tell it in a whisper.
Besides, there are things I want to enjoy this pleasure a little more now.
It was so much fun to think about how to cook Shuri right away.
“If you don’t want to tell me, don’t.”
When Ariel snorted and blatantly teased him, he shrugged and turned his head away as if he wasn’t interested.
Originally, at times like this, rather than expressing interest more deeply, you should treat it as if you don’t know how to reach out first from the other side.
And as he expected, Ariel slipped back in front of him, looked up at Edgar with raised eyes, and poked her forearm with her finger.
“What, did you just get mad at that? quietly.”
“Pouting. Don’t you think I’m you?”
“Huh, just looking at it, I’m pissed off. It’s not a kid… … .”
‘Who is looking at who is a child?’
Just as Edgar was about to utter a sigh of embarrassment, something familiar appeared in his field of vision.
Edgar, who stopped talking for a moment, moved his gaze to follow the item that a passerby was carrying.
I didn’t expect to see that here, so it was a new feeling.
“… Who are you seeing?”
“uh… uh?”
The problem was that the passer-by holding the item was a woman.
Ariel asked in a calm voice towards Edgar, who was blatantly looking at another woman.
At that moment, it seemed as if the weather in Ettle, which Edgar felt was quite mild, had turned into a severe winter in an instant.
“Who did you just stare at like that?”
“Oh, no… I hope you see something familiar… … .”
“what is that? Just say something nonsensical.”
Ariel looked up at him with a sad expression with her arms crossed as if to recite how great of a thing it was.
Edgar flinched for an instant at the gaze that was so cold that it seemed to be full of anticipation.
However, since he had to mumble here, he was bound to go to Hwangcheon, so he quickly pointed to it in someone else’s hand and shouted gladly.
“Oh, there it is. That’s it. that.”
“What is that?”
What Edgar pointed at at the tip of his finger was the first thing even Ariel had seen.
A white, twisted-looking object that is questionable whether it is a liquid or a solid.
It seemed certain that it was some kind of food, judging from the other people taking a bite into their mouths.
“See you first?”
“Yeah, is this your first time seeing it?”
“yes? If you try it, I think you’ll like it too… It’s not like this, let’s find out where they sell it.”
It was a food similar to the soft serve ice cream Edgar remembered.
It was definitely something that women who usually like desserts or sweet things would definitely enjoy, so he immediately grabbed Ariel’s hand and went out to find a store that sells them.
Then, I saw quite a few people coming out with ice cream from some alley, and it was estimated that there was a store on that side.
“I saw it over there. Shall we go in?”
Just as Edgar was about to lead Ariel into the alley, she suddenly pulled out her hand and stopped him.
“Ah, Ed. wait for a sec.”
“yes? Why?”
“Come this way.”
Suddenly hiding behind a street vendor, she waved her hand at Edgar.
Edgar, puzzled by him, obediently steps toward it.
The location was quite exquisite, so from the outside, it would have looked like it had entered an alley.
“Why are you here?”
“Be quiet and stay like this. I’ll tell you why I laughed alone earlier.”
“yes? If that’s the case, I’ll follow you without saying anything.”
As Edgar moved to Ariel’s side and came into close contact with her, her cheeks turned red for a moment, but quickly returned to their original state.
How many minutes had passed?
By the time Edgar starts questioning this seemingly nonsensical action, Ariel ‘comes.’ muttered in a low voice and jumped forward.
That moment,
Goong!
A woman who was about to enter the alley collided with Ariel, and she ran out and fell.
The man standing next to him checked Ariel’s face and became contemplative in an instant.
However, the woman who was lost in her seat apologized to the other person who hurriedly bumped into her without knowing that fact.
“Ugh, sorry… all?”
The gaze slowly rising from the bottom passed by a familiar garment, and before long, a woman with her eyes wide open as she met her face. No, Shuri.
A deep smile formed on Ariel’s lips as she looked down at the lady-in-waiting.
“What are you so sorry for?”
“Ah, lady… … !?”
The chase, which seemed to last forever, came to an end with the culprit being caught in a surprisingly short amount of time.
