57 – 057 – Is there such a soft thing as a date? # One
057 – Is there anything soft like a date in the world? # One
Let’s sort it out.
“First of all, Victoria, you and I are known to have broken up.”
“right.”
“However, to Flora, we covered up that our breakup was actually a lie to deceive the other person.”
“That’s right too.”
“And Flora must have gone to the Southern Arklight mainland and explained our situation well to the householder and your older brother, Orca.”
“I did.”
As Victoria nodded, something jumped onto her lap.
ㅁ Kungkong!
It was a wolf spider that glowed with white light.
Are you saying hello?
He was wild in appearance, but he followed people very well.
Only then, even if a thief comes, he will wag his tail and be happy.
Of course, spiders don’t have tails.
cute guy!
“what’s this! Gummy teeth… !”
However, Victoria, who was startled, slapped the wolf spider’s body with the palm of her hand.
The cat hit by it fell to the floor and struggled.
-Hooong… .
The sight made me angry.
“No, why are you beating a nice guy? You hit him and he has eight legs.”
“What, what! Spiders have eight legs!”
Anyway, I managed to pick up the cat from the floor.
Fortunately, it didn’t seem to have any injuries or blemishes.
Stronger than expected.
I showed that kind of thing to Victorica.
“Hurry up and apologize to Kyeong-kyeong.”
“… Why should I apologize to the spider? It was he who tried to attack me first! And, it didn’t even hit that hard!”
“I didn’t mean to attack you, I just wanted to be friends with you. And his name isn’t a spider, it’s a kongkong.”
“… I get it. sorry. I’m sorry, so don’t push it this way and leave it out of sight… !”
Victoria seemed afraid of spiders.
Certainly, a spider as big as this palm looked frightening at first glance.
“Victorica, are you afraid of kungkong?”
“Who, who are you afraid of? Just, uh, spiders are messy! And the spider eats the pretty butterfly… .”
“It is clean. And I don’t eat things like butterflies. I mean, I don’t even eat kungkong unless it’s the food I make.”
ㅁ Kungkong!
“… You, strangely, that… Do you keep defending Kyeong-kyung?”
“That’s because this guy is good at cleaning and catching mice. Victoria, who can’t even clean her room, is different from you.”
My story made Victoriaka’s hair stand on end.
“How do you know if I can’t clean my room or not!”
ya know
The fact that Victoria is not good at cleaning or housekeeping is a story that is often teased in games.
However, was that a story that was revealed only after the summer vacation episode?
I couldn’t tell the truth, so I decided to just deduct the number of lies and cover it up properly.
“I was your fiancé, Victoria. I know more about you than you think.”
“… … .”
Victorica was taken aback and didn’t say anything.
Maybe because he was angry, he blushed slightly and then turned his head around.
“… Why does a guy who knows so well… .”
“What did you say?”
“I didn’t say anything.”
Unlike what we saw in D&A, Ludens’s Victorica in this reality was easily angry.
It was originally a calm and serene image.
“Kongkong, the weather is nice, so go out and play with Elizabeth.”
-Hooong… !
ㅡBeee.
I decided to get the story right after I let Kunky and Elizabeth out of the window.
“Victorica, because of you, the story has gone a long way. So the important thing is to ask how Orca knows about our relationship.”
“do not know.”
Have you pouted in anger over the conversation?
The golden hour of my weekend that I got after a long time.
My time was precious, as I would have known if it was a Victorian car that was comfortable with both time and money.
“Victoria, don’t be like a child. Shouldn’t you kiss it in advance so you don’t get caught up in that snake-like orca’s trick?”
It was kind of funny even when I said it.
Don’t act like a child to Victoria, who is only in her second year.
If you think about it, these guys were right for children.
You can be a little childish.
Thinking like that made me feel quite at ease.
At that moment, Victoria trembled.
“Mi, you said you kissed in advance? What are you going to do when you let out that strange spider and bee and I’m left alone… !”
“You just said that. Because you have to match your mouth beforehand.”
“I feel… !”
Victoria made a very strange noise and rose from her seat.
Then, he turned his head and left the club room.
“He’s a really strange guy.”
As expected, there are many differences between Ludens in the game and this reality.
* * *
Victoria came back about 30 minutes later.
“Have you come?”
“I was reminded of some urgent business. It’s not like being with you was awkward, so why don’t you misunderstand something?”
“No. Rather, it is the story of Orca. It’s important where or how Orca knows about our relationship right now.”
I asked Victoria for confirmation, but I was sure that she was aware of the facts about our breakup.
Orca is the former student council president.
This Ludens has a bunch of eyes and ears.
said Victoria.
“I heard that my sister, Flora, gave a convincing explanation about our breakup to the householder and Orca. Did you just say that they broke up because of a difference in personality between them?”
Do nobles’ betrothal relationships break up due to personality differences?
That was a really poor reason.
In many ways, it must have been the best thing Flora could think of.
“Then, knowing that, we can match the story.”
So, the evening passed by.
The sun went down in the blink of an eye as I was sitting and thinking about franchising or expanding my business.
Whether in real life or in games, time on weekends goes by so fast.
“… … .”
Victoria’s attitude towards the restaurant, the meeting place, looked a little nervous.
“Are you scared?”
“who. It’s just frustrating because I don’t know what my brother is doing behind the scenes. Putting on such a nice face… .”
“exactly. Orca has a good reputation and is popular.”
To put it simply, Orca is the insider of insiders.
If you pass by the street, more than half of them say “good morning” to Orca.
A friend who wants to be friends with everyone.
Who would think that a guy like that is aiming to conquer Ludens from behind?
It feels like a cliché now that I’ve played so much, but when I first played it, I thought Orca was a real ally.
What shock did you feel when you were young?
“Is this here?”
A fine dining restaurant located in the central shopping district of Ludens.
The menu board hanging in front of it doesn’t even have a price written on it.
A place like this.
It’s a really dangerous place.
You never know how much it will come out.
And this kind of place is a place where only people who say ‘it doesn’t matter how much’ come out.
It would be really expensive.
I was suddenly nervous.
“Victoria, there is one thing I want to confirm.”
“Why, no matter how big you went, are you nervous about standing in front of an orca? You and Orca didn’t get along very well.”
“Is it so? Anyway, the important thing is whether Orca pays for this meal or not.”
If I have to pay my share, I’ll do it with the cheapest one.
To that, Victoria gave a rather reassuring answer, “Orca does the calculations.”
great.
You should do the one that looks the most expensive.
As I entered the seat, someone raised a hand from the reserved place.
“Here.”
man nice smile.
A figure that is not enough to be called the eldest son of a duchy.
It was Orca Arclight, like the male protagonist of romance comics.
Next to him is Rebekah, whom I saw just yesterday, with a slightly puzzled expression.
Victoria and I sat face to face in front of him.
A very awkward air.
If it wasn’t for Viktor’s steel mentality, I would have felt a little annoying tension.
“We have pre-ordered, so you only have to choose yours. This is a restaurant where you can’t even get a seat if you don’t make a reservation a month in advance. Anything would be delicious. When I am on the mainland, I think of this place.”
I looked at the menu board at Orca’s generous story.
From foie gras to truffles, there are a lot of high-end ingredients listed.
Of course, there was no price tag.
Now that I have the opportunity to try high-end cuisine, I want to try every single one if possible.
“Then I’ll make the grilled truffle tenderloin here.”
“I’m the same as Viktor.”
After placing our order, we waited for a while before our meal came out. Dalgak, Dalgak – As I sliced the meat with a knife and fork and ate it, a strange aroma burst from my mouth.
Is this the 2nd tier ingredient “Truffle”?
It has a strange taste.
Orca said then.
“Maybe the chef has changed today, so the taste is not so good. Had I known this was going to happen, I would have asked Liv to cook for her. Not because she is my fiancé, but because Miss Rebekah is a true master of elegant gastronomy.”
Perhaps it sounded like she was bragging, Orca said in a friendly way, but Rebekah’s expression was not so good.
Because he hadn’t even come to the restaurant of “Ludens Gourmet Party” and praised his cooking, it might have sounded like he was making fun of him.
When Rebekah’s expression looked very bad, Victoria said.
“So, what’s your plan for calling me like this?”
“You mean gong goong? Brother, I just want to talk with people who might become a family in the future. We are all people who can be bound in the name of Arclight.”
“Orca, I am no longer placed under the name of Arcwright.”
Orca grinned at my story.
“So that’s what I’m saying. the lord said Say that you guys will give us a chance to break up your marriage, even now.”
“What is that… .”
Victoria seemed bewildered. On the one hand, he seemed somehow happy.
But my answer is a long time ago.
It was firmly fixed on the day that made Victoria’s brow furrow.
“refuse.”
The Arkwright family is a ship that sinks before I have time to do anything about it.
Why am I getting on there?
The boat I need to board is NV Company.
If you listen to the roaring engine sound once, you’ll lose your mind right?
It was then.
“Victor, I knew you would say that. Of course, our Arclight family lord had already expected it. So here’s a suggestion. Guys, let’s have our last date today.”
“Hey, date?”
Victoriaka asked in bewilderment.
Orca explained.
“Today is our last date. If you still don’t change your mind, the head of the family has decided not to talk about your breakup anymore.”
