376 – [7] Four Women
#376
* * *
Fortunately, not a single bedbug came out of the furniture.
There weren’t even annoying creatures like cockroaches.
It seemed like the furniture was taken care of quite well.
It could be said to be an unexpected aspect.
“Ssi…… Didn’t I tell you so! “There are no bedbugs or anything!”
“Why isn’t this there? “I heard that if you buy American wooden furniture, you will get bed bugs.”
“What a fool I am…… “Do you think I didn’t pay attention to such things when I was making furniture?”
“Uh. “I thought you didn’t care.”
“Ugh!!!”
You go out to protests saying you can’t lose the Yard Pound Act, and you often engage in discriminatory actions, so how could I not think that way?
Also, regional stereotypes did not exist for nothing.
Ines is rough and like a country farmer, even without the discriminatory things…… There was a strange stereo image like that.
That’s why I was particularly suspicious of bedbugs.
“If you had gone to my home in Alabama, you wouldn’t have said that.”
“Huh? Have you seen it?”
“Yes! Although it’s in the countryside, my hometown is quite nice! How well it is compared to other houses! “You might be surprised when you see it in person!”
That much?
Oh, it’s still a rural area, so I guess it’s not to the point where it can be compared to a city.
“Even if you compare, it will not be inferior at all! No! “It’s going to be a lot better than this house, right?”
But when you said this, I got a little curious.
It could have been that he was saying this out of pride, but his eyes were strangely full of confidence.
“There is no need to exaggerate too much… ….”
“It’s not an exaggeration, it’s real! “The person in question says that, but why don’t you believe it?”
I think it’s true.
No, it still seems like a lot of exaggeration.
I don’t know.
I think I need at least a picture to know.
“Do you have a picture? Hmm…… “There is no such thing.”
“Ugh, tsk.”
“No, to be honest, is there anyone in the world who takes pictures of his own house? “I can see you as often as I want anyway.”
That is also true.
If you have seen a house for a long time, you might not want to take a picture.
“Then can you show me roughly where it is on an internet map later?”
“Of course not. No, should I show you now? “If you use street view, you can also tell us what it feels like.”
I nodded.
Ines rummaged through her pockets with an excited expression.
It was just that moment.
The expression on the other side suddenly worsened.
“Uh…… “Wait a minute, where’s my phone?”
Side pockets, back pockets, inside clothes.
The phone does not work even after checking everything.
At this, Ines stamped his feet and quickly headed outside.
She probably thought she had dropped it in her yard.
“You can just make a phone call, but why are you doing that?”
It’s just too much action.
People should use tools, like this.
Beep.
I made a call right away, and the phone rang on the table in the living room.
I hung up the phone and picked up my cell phone.
I was just about to head to the yard with Ines’ cell phone.
I felt strangely curious, so I secretly turned on her cell phone.
“Confederate flag?”
This is truly amazing.
I never imagined that there would be a crazy flag stuck on the lock screen.
A woman who not only decorates her room in a southern style, but also decorates her cell phone that way.
I can tell you that she has a thousand human qualities, but this woman was also a complete waste.
Just like a thousand birds, your boyfriend-to-be will go through a lot of hardships.
No, I wonder if it is possible to be in a relationship regardless of the hardships.
“But I guess I’ll at least have a relationship.”
I unlocked the lock after talking to myself, which was more uncertain than the odds of winning the lottery.
Being a free-spirited southerner, there was no password.
“Let’s see, internet search history… ….”
There were a lot of records of suspicious sites.
I didn’t want to check, but the words between the URL addresses were particularly noticeable.
“AMWF…… ? What does it mean? And this is an Asian male…… White…… “Did this guy visit a racist site?”
Normal people do not leave things like skin color or racial terms in their Internet search history.
Of course, he may have left it while trying to find something, but the person in question happened to have a lot of records.
At this level, he was innocent even beyond reasonable doubt.
I watched Ines search the yard and shook her head again and again.
The person who was supposed to save the world in the future was like this. Even if the world was saved, the future of humanity was very dark.
Seriously, after the World Tree hunt is over, won’t this guy go crazy and turn the United States into the United States?
When I thought about that, I felt like I needed to go on a trip right now so I could remember what America was like.
If hipsters wearing white cones start talking arrogantly, a bastard like me won’t even be able to set foot on them.
“It’s a real pain in the ass.”
All of this was the fault of her boyfriend, who had not shown up until now.
According to the game settings, they clearly started dating around this time, but they don’t appear in real life, so Ines looks like this.
According to the world, there is something like a red thread of fate, but why does that guy not even show any signs of it?
No matter how much I intervened, the problem was that her boyfriend didn’t show up like this.
I need to find out about a blind date sooner or later with a prescription for extreme medication.
Well, if you force it to continue, it might get better or not.
That is how we decided to treat Ines.
I looked at her phone a little more to determine the severity of this treatment.
For your information, I am definitely not looking it up because I am curious.
I don’t have even 1% of those evil intentions.
“Um…… Gallery─”
Squeak!
The front door opened and Ines rushed in.
She then looked at me with a very angry expression.
“That thing in your hand! It’s my phone right?! “What on earth are you looking at?”
Oh my, I got caught.
I put my phone down on the table and quickly ran away.

Time passed like the wind.
The few days passed quickly, and nothing particularly dangerous happened during that time.
A continuation of ordinary days.
I guess that’s why Ines started shooting around our house as if it were her own.
It means that he was very annoying.
“I have one question. “What is everyone doing to spend their time in the evening?”
“Wow, this is my first time eating such delicious food! “Sweetheart, could you tell me the recipe for this?”
“Siaaaaan~ I’m bored. Don’t you want to play together?”
It seemed like there were one more thousand birds.
It was a truly terrible reality.
Did I even think about sending him home, thinking that nothing special would happen?
Although I couldn’t send it because there was still a possibility, the fact that it kept getting stuck was making me tired.
And as if adding fuel to the fire, some people showed behavior that was different from usual.
“Soo-a sister? What’s going on here…….”
A very busy professor sister.
No surprise, Su-ah’s older sister started visiting our house every day.
“Well~ I came here to check if our Sian was okay~”
If you came to check, all you had to do was look at her face and go right back.
However, Su-ah held me captive and treated me as a companion or a doll that was easy to touch.
“Hey…… “As expected, it’s cute.”
“Please let me go of this…” … !”
“I can’t let you go. “How could I let such a cute child go?”
“Gyaaaaa!”
In effect, there was one more woman to worry about.
It was truly a tragedy.
A pleasant atmosphere every day.
Ironically, the place where you could take a break from that atmosphere was the Room of the Thousand Horses.
“It’s really funny. “I don’t like this bright atmosphere.”
“No, this isn’t bright, it’s too cheerful.”
“Well, that’s it. And there’s nothing wrong with anything, right? “Especially in a recession like this where there are so many suicides.”
It felt really persuasive, perhaps because it came from someone who often creates that atmosphere.
I sighed and sat down on the bed.
“Okay, what do you know… ….”
Cheonma-ri chuckled and sat down next to me.
Eventually, she smiled heartily with her very shiny face.
“Not today.”
“Huh? “I haven’t said anything else yet?”
“If that’s what you want here and now, what else can there be? Even if you make a face that says no, everyone knows.”
“Ugh. I caught this. Still, refusal can also be an expression of agreement, so just for a moment—”
“Hey, go away.”
Since there were not a thousand horses to go with that, she argued for a moment.
I, barely able to maintain my pride as a man, looked at the floor as if we were exhausted.
Then something suddenly occurred to me.
I glanced back at Cheonma-ri.
“Hey, but you. “Have you told your family about this situation?”
“What is this situation?”
“The crazy cartels might be targeting us.”
“Ah~ That? Of course I didn’t talk about it. But everyone knows that, right?”
What kind of nonsense is it to say that you would know even though we didn’t talk about it?
I frowned slightly.
“Even your grandfather would know the budget flow and staffing arrangements. Moreover, if you do some research, you might find out.”
“I didn’t bother to tell you because I thought your grandfather would have noticed. “Is that what you mean?”
“Correct answer!”
It wasn’t wrong.
The problem is that looking at it through an investigation like that is different from looking at it directly from the parties involved.
“Did your grandfather tell your cousin?”
“You must have told me. “We may be ugly, but we are family anyway.”
“I don’t think you know this… ….”
“It doesn’t matter if you don’t know. After all, how can people who are candidates for succession of large corporations not notice such things? “If you die because you don’t notice, it’s just a natural death.”
An attitude that seems to secretly wish for a ‘natural death’.
I know what bad relationships Cheonma-ri has with her relatives and how they view them.
Still, if she kept her mouth shut like this and a problem arose, her grandfather’s resentment would be directed at her.
At least she had to pretend to inform her grandfather so that he wouldn’t be angry.
“Your cousins may not know, but be honest with your grandfather. “Don’t do anything to drive a nail into her heart.”
“It’s okay─”
“If something really happens, I may no longer have the honor of seeing your grandfather.”
“… ….”
“And you can deal with the cousins later. “If it’s urgent, it’s better to tell your grandfather.”
“…… “That’s right.”
Normally, I would have refuted and made an uproar.
But I guess it was a bit too much not to talk about this, so I immediately became speechless.
Cheonma-ri thought for a moment. She
She then took out her cell phone and called her grandfather.
She informed me about the current situation and also told me about my concerns.
After talking on the phone for a few minutes, the phone fell from my ear.
“What do you say?”
“I understand. “I will tell them right away.”
“Yes, all these things add up to become a beautiful granddaughter.”
She said she did well and patted her head.

Cheonma-ri made a pouty expression and opened her mouth.
“I’m already so pretty. How can I be prettier here?”
“The more beauty you receive, the better. And no matter how unimpressed you are, I’m sure your grandfather will feel differently.”
It feels like teaching a socially inept young child how to be liked.
Still, I was glad that she didn’t show any signs of rejection.
I hope you continue to listen to me like this in the future.
That won’t happen.

It was an afternoon like any other.
Cheonmari, Kang Xian, and Ines left the lecture room after finishing the lecture just the three of them.
“It’s really not fun.”
“The professor is clearly crazy.”
“Ha, that’s right. “I think it’s really crazy.”
Remarks that show why the lecture evaluation was given a 1 point.
Cheonma-ri kicked a stone on her floor, as if she was annoyed just thinking about it.
The stone that was rolling around with an angry kick stopped in front of a cafe.
She looked at it and scratched her head.
“Hey, do you want to have some coffee to change your mind?”
A surprise suggestion.
But the other two also nodded because they wanted to change their mood.
“I think it’s good.”
“I brought the car anyway, so what?”
I didn’t have to worry about transportation.
I was worried about safety, but since it was an open space, I didn’t worry about it either.
No one in the world would do something crazy in a space like this.
With those thoughts in mind, the three walked towards the cafe.
