“then… ”
It was the moment Elaine was about to put her mouth on the straw. The waiter suddenly swung the punched glass away from Elaine and then said:
“I’m sorry, guest. There’s hair in this drink, so I’ll exchange it for you!”
And quickly put the punch on the tray. It was like stealing. Elaine looked at the punch glass with a blank expression. The waiter had dark silver hair that he had seen somewhere. Turning around so that his face could not be seen, the waiter said.
“Would you like to order from the same menu again, or change it to a different menu?”
“Bar, please change!”
Elaine blushed and requested an exchange. The bartender nodded and bowed his head.
“Then, I will change it to a suitable aperitif. Sorry again.”
“yes?”
And Elaine had a strange expression on her face. It was because the waitress saw that he gently moved his hand and put the straw that had been stuck in the punch into his pocket. It was like a thief’s skill. Jain was also making a suspicious expression on his face.
“What’s wrong?”
“No, that waitress… ”
“Why a sudden death?”
“It seems strangely similar to Ren.”
Elaine burst out laughing and waved her hand.
“Ah, that must be a mistake. Obviously, you said a few days ago that you were busy looking for a new side job. Why are you here?”
“right?”
At that moment, a faint quarrel could be heard from the kitchen side.
“Hey, newbie. What are you doing to change your customers’ food?”
“I will double the cost. Oh, and I will quit my job today.”
“What, what? No, the guest who booked to see you… ”
“thanked.”
After the noise in the kitchen subsided, the food began to come out. It was a big meat and potato salad. For a while, the two just ate food without talking. Mainly because of Elaine. My face turned red and shy just thinking about what had just happened, and I couldn’t do anything but bow my head and eat.
‘Why, why are you so insecure! I’m going to get caught in this way!’
Thought so to herself, but Elaine, taking off her usual nun robe, had very low self-confidence. For her now, the situation of eating food alone with a man was the limit itself. In the end, Elaine barely said a word and nodded until she finished eating and left the restaurant. Eventually, I even heard this from Jain.
“Did you not like this store? I’m sorry if that’s the case.”
“No, no! It was very tasty!”
Jain’s words were not in a tone of blame or reproach. Seriously, it sounded a little scruffy. Elaine waved her hand in embarrassment. And I fell into a little bit of self-hatred.
‘It’s just embarrassing to kill the mood and make the hard-prepared partner apologize instead, you can’t do this!’
As she looked around in search of something to turn the situation around, a leaflet suddenly came into her eyes. It was a leaflet saying looking for a cat. Elaine’s eyes twinkled, and she held the flyer to Jain.
“Look at this!”
“ok? What is this?”
“A leaflet saying looking for a cat! The key money is not a penny, how about looking for it while you have the rest of the time?”
“How about a date?”
“If you take a walk around Rottern to find this, then that’s a date! How about my genius plan?”
Anyway, if I had to mimic a typical couple as I prepared in advance, I thought the situation would repeat itself because I was too shy.
If you spend your time wandering outside using this as an excuse, you will be less likely to get caught. That was Elaine’s plan.
As if that feeling had been conveyed, Zain grinned and stroked Elaine’s head.
“Yeah, it’s better to do what you like than to force yourself to do something that doesn’t suit you.”
“Well, something. Are you saying that a lady’s outfit like this and a high-end restaurant don’t suit me?”
As they quarreled, the two soon went on a walk to find the cat.
*
“I got it!’
And, after a few hours. I finally found a cat in a tree on a back street in Rottern. Elaine had found a guy who had climbed a high tree and couldn’t come down because he was afraid. Elaine clicked her tongue, luring the cat into her arms and hugging her tightly.
“Then come down now.”
A cold voice came from below. It was because Zain had picked up Elaine and sent her up to the top of the branch.
“No, I was going to come down even if I didn’t say anything!”
Elaine then jumped off Jain’s shoulder. In her arms, she held the cat dearly. Elaine was always smiling.
“Hehehe, this is the end of securing the key money! Half of it is thanks to you!”
“Yeah, okay, that’s fine.”
“uh?”
And Elaine put on a bewildered expression. It was because the cat in her arms twisted and entered Elaine’s chest. He was cold, so he seemed to have moved in search of a warm place. The cat crawled into its chest, sticking its neck out through the hole in its chest, meowing and crying. Elaine smiled broadly and showed Zain the cat as if bragging about it.
“This guy must be a male! I like big boobs, so I dig here!”
“It’s dangerous, isn’t it better to just hold on to it with your hand?”
“What, are you jealous of this cat? Do you want to bury your face here too?”
“Dog… ”
Jain, enraged by that shameless expression, showed superhuman patience and barely stopped talking. Elaine walked away with the cat on her chest whether she knew it or not.
“If I’m asking if I’m uncomfortable, that’s fine! Because I have big breasts!”
“Am I obviously dry?”
And Jain’s anxiety quickly became a reality. While walking for a while, a cat suddenly jumped out of a hole in her chest and ran into the alley.
“oh!”
Elaine hastily pursued the cat and entered the alley. And then, it became a contemplation. It was because he could see a heavy carriage running over the cat, who was crying immaturely. Frozen, Elaine hugged the cat tightly and crouched down in front of the carriage.
bang!
It was right after that that a loud sound rang out. Elaine, trembling, slowly opened her eyes. The whole body was fine. Looking back, I could understand the situation. Seeing Elaine in danger, Jain ran and stopped the carriage. I could hear the cries of angry horses, and the shouts of the grumpy coachman.
“Hey! What do you do if you jump in suddenly?”
“sorry. it was rude If there is any damage to the carriage, I will compensate you.”
Jain stepped forward and bowed his head. Elaine, who was still sitting and watching the scene, was so sorry that tears welled up. I was so grateful and guilty of seeing that strong self-esteem man bowing his head and apologizing even though it wasn’t his fault. Elaine stood up holding the cat and nodded her head.
“No, it’s all my fault, I’m sorry!”
Seeing this, the driver scratched his head and looked back. It was like asking the owner for an opinion.
“What should I do, Master?”
“Hmm, do you mean that you want to apologize like that?”
“ok?”
It was a voice I had heard somewhere. Jain shook his head. And then, faced with a sullen face. The half-beautiful blonde knight stood on the horse-drawn carriage, with equal momentum.
“Things that block the carriage of the aristocrat are treated as an assassination attempt and are punishable by death, right?”
“Are you that guy back then?”
“Yes, this body!”
Elaine added a word blankly.
“What was it, blue anal vaseline?”
“It is the blue crane Abel! What is that creepy name!”
Abel, who ran wildly along the road, soon regained his composure and pointed at Jain with a whip and said:
“You are here as a failed attempt to assassinate a nobleman’s spirit! If you want your sins to be forgiven… ”
“If you want?”
“Give me back the Sanctuary of the Shining One, which you took away with your magic! hurry!”
“What if I say f*ck it?”
“What!”
Abel’s face turned red. Jain sighed and relaxed his hands. The last line was prepared in advance. Apparently, this guy was looking for an opportunity to threaten the two of them with justification like this. Then, there was no reason to apologize or make concessions.
“Ha, did you intend to resist with force like a savage again? I have it all!”
“What can You’ve already disbanded all your co-workers.”
“All mercenaries! Surround him in Wonjin!”
With those words, the carriage door opened and people in black began to pour out. were mercenaries. They stood in a circle around Elaine and Jain, forming a circle. Abel laughed furiously.
