93 – cute misunderstanding (2)
After lunch, Edgar left the castle after telling Ariel through Shuri that he would be away for a while.
Because he left without meeting him, Ariel had to part with him without even asking him about what he had heard about a while ago.
‘It’s just the two of us, what the hell is it?’
Ariel also knew that he had been paying attention to Shuri in various ways lately.
She wasn’t so stupid that she didn’t know what she was doing to Shuri, and he didn’t take it seriously at first, thinking that Edgar was taking care of him as much as she was giving him trouble.
Ariel assumed that he would tell her to stop playing pranks on Shuri because she said she would tidy her hair today, but contrary to her expectations, Edgar brushed off the situation without saying anything.
However, Ariel felt more anxious about that.
‘Are you eating alone? Or alone… You’re not saying you’re going somewhere to play, right?’
While sitting on a chair on the balcony and enjoying the warm sunlight, Ariel’s consciousness remained focused.
He would also be like that, and his lover brought out the word, what to do with a woman who had an affair, and there is no woman in the world who would not care.
It might be at the level of just giving them a word of consolation and occasionally helping them with work, but doing something alone was like crossing the line.
Is it a fart or a fart to leave your lover alone and have a meal alone with another woman to cheer you up?
For Ariel, it was a situation in which horns had no choice but to fly.
‘The problem is that the justification is over there.’
However, I couldn’t get angry blindly, because it was true that Ariel kept playing pranks on Shuri.
Of course, in a class society, as the owner, there would be some people who would say how about playing a little prank on the servant. In fact, Ariel had similar thoughts.
However, Edgar was the man who had given Ariel advice not to be too big on others.
This time too, seeing Shuri clinging to her crying, she told Ariel to stop every once in a while.
However, Ariel took all of those opportunities and came to the current situation.
In this situation, what can I say to the person we meet alone to cheer Shuri up?
“… … .”
After thinking about it for a while, Ariel, realizing that she was the culprit, stared at the table in silence before nodding her head firmly.
It seems that there is someone I need to meet before asking Edgar about everything.
* * * * * * *
Shuri stopped what she was doing at the urgent voice calling her and left the kitchen.
I was about to bring cookies and drinks for Ariel, who likes snacks, but what the heck was going on.
“Shuri-sama! Miss Ariel is looking for you!”
“My lady… … ?”
“Yes!”
The opponent was a maid who did laundry or chores in each room.
He was much younger than Shuri, so he was a child she often took care of, but today, as always, he had a bright smile on his lips.
‘What’s going on?’
Normally, I would have headed for Ariel’s room without questioning anything, but the recent hardships I’ve been through made me hesitate for some reason.
However, life as a servant is sad that if you come, you have to go.
In the end, Shuri told the maid that she would understand, and left the kitchen with a silver trolley topped with snacks.
‘Aren’t you kidding me again?’
Shuri shakes her head and shakes off her negative thoughts with growing anxiety.
She also never thought that Ariel’s pranks were going too far, but in any case, from the point of view of the victim, since the opponent was the owner, she couldn’t counterattack, so it was hard work in her own way.
I wonder if she, who didn’t cling to Edgar, grabbed his arm and complained.
smart.
When Shuri arrived at the room and knocked on the door, permission was immediately granted from the other side without asking the other person’s identity.
It must mean that Ariel also had in mind that there was no one to come except Shuri.
“Did you call me? miss.”
“ah… yes. Did you bring tea too?”
Ariel seemed to be curiously examining her own complexion, and Shuri had doubts for a moment, but soon thought it was because of her mood and shook her head slightly.
“I brought you some fruit drinks and some snacks because I don’t think you would like tea.”
“thanks. Will you prepare me to eat right away?”
“Yes, lady.”
Shuri said she would excuse herself and moved the bowls and glasses from the trolley onto the table one by one.
Meanwhile, Ariel pursed her lips as she alternately looked at the table slowly filling up and at Shuri’s face.
It was clear enough that anyone other than Edgar could tell that he seemed to have a lot to say.
‘Maybe he wants to play a joke.’
Shuri also noticed this, but didn’t dare to pretend to know and open her mouth.
Recently, how many times have you been caught in Ariel’s spell and suffered hardships?
In this case, it would be the right decision to go out after quietly completing the preparations without making any cases as much as possible.
“Shu, Shuri.”
“Yes?”
Shuri turned her head at the voice calling her with a rather nervous voice.
Ariel, who met his eyes at this, said, ‘Umm.’ He cleared his throat and averted his gaze, then cautiously raised the topic with a hesitant look.
“Fort Edgar… Are you good?”
“Bocchan… Are you talking?”
“Yes.”
Why are you asking such a thing all of a sudden?
Shuri, who was still in the dark, tilted her head in wonder, but answered honestly as it was the owner’s question.
“You do very well. Sometimes it’s too much, so I’m sorry.”
“Huh, huh… You’re doing good. Specifically, how do you do well?”
Be specific.
Shuri’s doubts deepened as she did not know what answer she wanted.
I wondered if he just wanted to ask about the current situation, but Shuri was well aware that Ariel was not interested in the other person’s daily life.
If I had to question it, would I ask Edgar or his parents this question?
It could just be a whim, so I had to answer first, but for some reason, the uncomfortable feeling didn’t go away easily.
“Sometimes I help with work… He often tells me to cheer up.”
“Is that all?”
“Yes?”
“Oh, no… I mean being a little more friendly… Is there anything like that?”
friendly?
Edgar was originally a person who didn’t care about his social status and got along well, trembling everywhere, so it was nagging to say that he was friendly.
In the first place, Ariel herself must know this better than anyone else.
Even so, Shuri couldn’t understand why she bothered to ask such a thing.
“Because the young master is always friendly to the people under him.”
“That… tooth. Yeah, he’s like that, but… … .”
Judging by the owner’s notice, Shuri seems to be very unsatisfied with this answer.
However, it was frustrating because even Shuri didn’t have a proper story to bring up.
If I knew the answer I wanted, I would make it up and say it, but I don’t know what’s going on.
“Ehm… ! Hey, that’s enough for once. I was just wondering if Ed was nice to me.”
“I see.”
No matter what the English was, Shuri didn’t bother to add anything because it seemed to be off topic.
After all, once this preparation is done, she will be able to get out of this suffocating space.
“Actually, it wasn’t anything else that I urgently called… I think I’ve been playing around a bit lately.”
“Yes?”
In the midst of such silence, Ariel’s words suddenly opened Shuri’s eyes like rabbits hit by arrows.
Are you suddenly here to apologize? Ariel and no one else?
Shuri was lost in the situation that was flowing so strangely.
A little while ago, the person who asked if Edgar was good to him said, “What kind of apple is this?”
“what. Did you really think I was a woman who couldn’t even apologize?”
“Oh, that can’t be… ! I was just a little surprised.”
To be honest, those words weren’t wrong, but Shuri hurriedly denied it, as it was impossible to recite the truth.
As questions piled up, Ariel took a sip of the fruit drink in front of her and quenched her throat before opening her mouth again.
“anyway… yes. I’ll be good to you from now on, so I didn’t want Ed to take it too seriously if he offered me a meal or something. Do you know what that means?”
This was Ariel’s choice.
He had a criminal record for harassing Shuri, so he directly told Edgar, ‘Don’t treat Shuri well!’ I can’t say that, so I call the person in charge, secretly lure him in, and then tell him to cancel the schedule with him.
She was thinking that she would have to stop playing this joke anyway, so she thought it was a very good opportunity to ease Shuri’s mood and relieve her own uneasy feelings.
Regarding this, Shuri… … .
“… Yeah? A meal?”
“yes?”
It’s like you’re eating dog grass… It wasn’t until that point, but I turned to Ariel and questioned the story I had never heard before.
At this, Ariel’s red eyes widened little by little, and she asked another question with a trembling voice to confirm whether it was true or not.
“Eh, Ed and I decided to go somewhere… wasn’t it? For example, eating or going out to play… … .”
“I’m with the young boy… ? It can’t be.”
Shuri sternly denies it, waving her hands as if it were unreasonable.
Even if it’s an act to cheer up the mood, it’s definitely a tryst with someone who is the owner’s lover outside. It was something he would never have done with two lives.
“But, Ed must have been alone… … .”
“It’s just the two of us… ah!”
Ariel, who had clearly listened to Edgar’s words, spat out his last words, saying that there was no way that would be the case.
Shuri, who showed a puzzled reaction for a moment, continued to ponder, then let out a low exclamation and crossed their palms.
“Are you saying you recommended a restaurant that Ronan and I could go alone?”
“Poetry, a restaurant?”
“Yes, Bocchan knows the restaurant in town better than I do. So I was wondering if there was a restaurant I could go to with Ronan, and I asked, and he just recommended a good place.”
“ah… … !”
Only then did Ariel sigh and lean back as if collapsing into a chair, then suddenly start pounding the table with her legs struggling.
thud! thud!
“Ah, lady!? Then the plate falls off… … !”
“it’s okay! Break everything and I will die too!”
“yes!? What are you saying all of a sudden!”
When the thought that she had fluttered alone made her feel as if she could reach the stars without breaking through the sky, Ariel tried all kinds of ways to relieve her feelings, but it was not easy to solve.
As for Shuri, she suddenly wanted to stop her master from doing this, but there was no way to defeat Ariel with brute force.
At least, if I knew the reason, I would persuade them, but what kind of mess is this?
Thus, the full story of this incident was revealed by Edgar who returned about three hours later, and it is a funny and pitiful story that Ariel was caught by Edgar and Shuri each with one weakness that day.
