162 – In England – 3
Elizabeth’s face as she held Jeong Soo-yeon’s hand was full of sorrow.
Elizabeth, who stared at her as she didn’t even move even though her hand was held, brought her hand to her own face. She then opened her palm and said softly as she slowly touched her face.
“When my mother wakes up… Will she recognize me?”
“I guess so.”
Elizabeth was anxious.
When her soul was unsealed, she felt that she, who had been unconscious for so long, would not consider herself a daughter.
Of course, that wouldn’t happen, but I guess I couldn’t help feeling a lot of anxiety.
Her Elizabeth’s hand, which is holding her own mother’s hand, trembles slightly. So I gently wrapped my arms around her shoulders.
The trembling felt in her hand is getting stronger. No, that’s not all. The tears flowing from her blue eyes were also growing a little stronger.
“…Mom…”
How everyone can be a child in front of their parents.
Elizabeth, who held Jung Soo-yeon’s hand tightly, was not the good heir to the Taylor family that we had seen before.
She is just a tender woman who wants her mother to rise.
You don’t need to say anything here. I just patted Elizabeth on the shoulder, and she held Jeong Su-yeon’s hand and sobbed for a while without saying a word.
How long has it been?
She slowly raised her body and said in her snorted voice, unable to lift her blushing face.
“Mi, I’m sorry. I seem to have worried you for nothing…”
“No. Come on.”
I held out a handkerchief from her pocket. Upon receiving it, Elizabeth smiled softly and wiped away her tears.
“You look like a gentleman. Do you always carry a handkerchief?”
“hahahaha. That’s right. I heard that the reason men carry handkerchiefs is to lend them.”
Other than that, what else would I use a handkerchief for? Seeing me like that, Elizabeth narrowed her eyes and stabbed her in my side.
“…A flirt.”
“Just tell me it’s charming…”
Declaring a harem is also a kind of wish, so I have nothing to say. Elizabeth grinned at me, who had died, and lightly grabbed my arm.
“Then let’s go. They say staying here isn’t good.”
I went out with Elizabeth. The old owl in the field, who was sitting outside the hospital room, spat out his chewing tobacco and said.
“How is Suyeon?”
“I don’t think anything has changed…”
“Really? Then that’s it. Anyway, you have to get the devil’s heart to try to break the seal on the soul. It seems that clearing the black dungeon isn’t easy after all.”
“Haa… Yes. But don’t worry.”
Elizabeth patted my back lightly.
“Because John is there.”
“Hmm? It doesn’t sound that great to me, does it?”
“Ho-ho-ho!! John’s true face is different. Then Grandpa. We’ll leave.”
“Yes. Oh. And ask for more chewing tobacco when you leave.”
“Yes!”
Elizabeth, responding lively, went outside and conveyed his request. Moments later, a woman in a maid’s uniform arrives with a box of her own.
That looks like chewing tobacco.
“Should we eat first? Aren’t you hungry?”
She had no reason to reject Elizabeth’s offer. I nodded her head and she took me out of the facility.
“Since you’ve come all the way to England, why don’t you try an English breakfast?”
“Do you know a good place?”
“Hohoho! Yes! I know a good cafe that even serves breakfast. Let’s go to the mansion and then go there!!”
Leaving her mansion with brisk steps, Elizabeth casually stood next to me. She then looks around and then she gently takes my arm.
“Hohoho! Hohohoho!”
“I really like it.”
“I like it~! You don’t like John?”
“It’s not like that… But won’t it make you tired when other people see it?”
Even if it’s me, Elizabeth is a pretty important person in England. Not only is she the one and only heir to the Taylor family, she is a rookie who is even estimated to reach S-class. She
She’s not only her face and body, but also her personality.
That’s why she was very disappointed that she was going to Korea to study, she heard.
She is Elizabeth, who is loved by many. If other people saw her clinging to me like that, she would get tired.
“Yes, but no one is there right now.”
“Ah. Is that so?”
“Or…”
“Huh?”
“Ah. No. Hohoho! That’s just an idea! Ohhohohoho!!”
What was she thinking that made her face so red?
She looked flustered and didn’t know what to do, but Elizabeth gently lowered her head.
The people walking on the side of the road were all foreigners. Seeing this makes me feel like I’m in a foreign country.
“Here it is.”
The place where she stopped her steps was an old, shabby-looking cafe. She’s out of place for Elizabeth.
As I was amazed, she gently grabbed my hand.
“Question here. Who have I been with?”
“Mother?”
“Correct answer! As a prize…”
After looking around her, Elizabeth slightly raised her foot. Then she kissed me softly on the lips and smiled.
“I’ll give you the lips of a beautiful lady. How is it?”
“hahahaha. It’s an honor.”
“Oh ho ho! Right? Now, let’s go.”
I went inside after being guided by Elizabeth, and there were quite a few people who came for breakfast and people who enjoyed morning coffee. Definitely a restaurant is a restaurant.
After taking her seat, she ordered in fluent English. And what came out after a while was bread, fried eggs, grilled sausages, and milk tea.
“Ohhh… Pretty normal, isn’t it?”
“Yes. It’s nothing special. But there are a lot of people who want to enjoy it.”
Those who want to fill their stomachs before starting the day, students without money. Heroes having a meeting about dungeons.
A variety of people were in one space, eating one type of food.
Looking at that, Elizabeth took a sip of milk tea.
“My mother liked this. And she said that people like us must fight to keep this peace.”
“You are a wonderful man.”
“Yes! He’s the one I’m proud of! Hohoho! I’d like to show my mother John!”
“Well. He’ll wake up soon. Don’t worry.”
Break through the black dungeon, and meet Azazel to get an angel’s feather.
Then it could be said that it is only a matter of time before Elizabeth’s mother wakes up.
“Ho-ho-ho! Thank you for just saying! Ah. Let’s eat before it gets cold! The bread here is so delicious!”
Laughing, Elizabeth cut the bread and smeared jam on her inside. Watching her like that, I nodded her head and enjoyed her breakfast just like her.
It was an ordinary breakfast with nothing special.
As she said, it was quite delicious.
“If possible, I’d like to start the tour today… But there’s still training. You know that?”
I know. It’s time to take a break now, and Grandpa Breath said he’ll train us again later.
Well, I didn’t really hate it because I didn’t come to England to tour, but I came here to train closely with this opportunity.
“Yeah, you know. I’ll have to rest until then.”
“Um… I’m sorry. It’s summer vacation when I should be resting, but I think I’m struggling.”
“No. I came prepared anyway, so it’s okay. Rather, where is my room?”
It’s been a while since I came to this mansion, but I don’t even know my room yet.
It was only then that she realized that too, snapping her fingers and holding my arm.
“Go!”
We walked a little slower than usual. Even so, it was a mansion in the city, so the short walk didn’t take too long.
I went into the mansion with Elizabeth, who let go of my arm with regret, and she stopped in front of a luxurious door on the third floor.
“This is your room. If you need anything, just let me know. The next room is mine!”
When I opened the door, I saw a room with furniture as luxurious as the door.
At least the ones that cost a lot more than the furniture in the castle. Elizabeth tilted her head as I looked around the room in amazement.
“Oh…? Don’t you like the room? Then another room…”
“Ah. No. It’s great, isn’t it?”
“Ohohohoho! Thank you for such an evaluation. And if you shake this bell, the maids will come soon. If you need anything, just tell them.”
“Yes. I understand.”
“Then… See you later.”
Because I and Elizabeth have to rest for now if we want to train again later. She waved her hand with a look of regret and went outside.
As I sat down on the bed, the pain from training earlier began to come in.
I’m going to have to work hard for the rest of the week to properly learn the Taylor family’s training methods.
Still, this hardship will help me… Let’s persevere.
.
.
.
My purpose in coming to England was for training, not for tourism. That’s why, from the first day onwards, Elizabeth and I were harassed mercilessly by Old Man Breath.
Of course, she wasn’t the only one suffering. She said her strength and stamina went up quite a bit.
And Elizabeth’s basic skills are much higher than her first day.
Obviously Taylor’s method of training is great.
I checked the status window, then nodded to her and stood up.
It’s time for Elizabeth to come soon.
– Smart.
“Yes. Come in.”
The one who opened the door and came in was, of course, Elizabeth. But she is different from usual. Originally, she came to visit in combat uniform, but today she was wearing a fluttering white dress.
“Huh? Why?”
“There is no training today. So, as promised, I’d like to take you on a tour of England… How is it? Are you okay?”
“I’m fine, but… Aren’t you busy? You’re in the middle of training.”
“Her grandfather gave her permission. She said that she would rest well today and tomorrow and start training Taylor swordsmanship in earnest next week.”
Ah. So, for Elizabeth, this is the final rest.
“I’m asking you out on a date… You’re not going to say no, are you?!”
I couldn’t say no to Elizabeth, who blinked at me and smiled at me.
How can you say no to someone who smiles like that?
“Ho-ho-ho! Look forward to it! There’s so much to see in England!”
“Looks forward to that.”
So, the first date between Elizabeth and her since they started dating began.
