105. Changes in daily life that have returned (5)
Most of the restaurants on the street were not open.
This is because many owners have fled to other cities, closing their doors due to the fear of being attacked by the demon king.
Among them, there was a store that could not be opened due to death.
“The atmosphere on the street is definitely not good.”
“The demon king’s attack is not a problem to be seen easily. For the time being, the adventurers of Henentia will starve.”
Irina frowned as if she was not happy with the situation.
She seemed to be deeply angered by the city’s destruction.
In the meantime, Irina looked at me and asked lightly.
“Jun, does the menu really matter? Is it okay to eat anything?”
“It’s okay.”
“In that case, let’s go to the place we used to be together. I don’t know if they operate, but it’s quite far from here, so you have to walk a little.”
Turb-Turb-
Irina notified me and increased her pace.
His gait was stiff and heavy, probably because he was a knight.
‘… He must have been close enough to know what I like to eat.’
Memories gone in my head.
What kind of person was I to this solid knight?
Walking with such doubts, we arrived at a shabby restaurant.
From the outside, it looked like it was over 40 years old.
“A shop that continues to operate after many years is delicious.”
“I have heard that from you in the past. Soup or rice? I was talking about that food. I remember it.”
“… “
Looks like my former colleague is really right.
I opened the door and entered a shabby restaurant.
There was an old woman preparing food by herself.
“We will go inside.”
Irina gave a simple nod and led us inside.
She seemed like a pretty familiar move.
Estiya sat down excitedly.
“Brother, I am hungry after using my holy power! Feed me quickly!”
“I’ll order it soon, just wait a little bit.”
I have Estiya by my side.
In the front, Irina and Luna are seated.
For some reason, Luna seemed very uncomfortable.
It wasn’t once or twice, so I ignored it and asked Irina a question while reading her menu board.
“Looking at the familiar ones, you seem to have been here many times. What is delicious here?”
“Stew. The stew with potatoes and meat is delicious.”
“Then with that.”
Stew is a must at any restaurant.
If the stew doesn’t give you a stable taste.
That restaurant will disappear after three months.
Stew is a stable menu wherever you go.
I looked around and asked the children.
“How are you guys? Luna, Estiya. Are you going to make it a stew?”
“I am the same as my older brother!”
“… I’m different from you, heh.”
Are you mad because I didn’t give you much dinner last night?
Luna’s reaction was sulky to anyone’s eyes.
I ordered her food, thinking I’ll talk to her later.
“Three stews and a salad, please.”
“I asked for something else! It’s not a salad!”
“… One roasted chicken, please.”
Nod-
Only then did Luna nod her head.
Anyway, she didn’t like vegetables for rice.
It could be seen as Luna’s conviction about rice.
“… “
“… “
A place filled with silence before food is served.
Irina and I were too quick to say anything.
In the meantime, time passed, and the old woman put the stew on the table in an instant.
“The chicken will take longer, so wait a little longer… “
“Yes, thank you.”
“But, the red-haired woman doesn’t come with me… ? I remember the three of us often coming here in the past… “
“… “
Flinching-
Irina was silent at the old woman’s words.
The old woman was surprised by the silence and apologized.
“Mi, I’m sorry… I’m older and I’ve made mistakes… “
“No. It’s okay. I will enjoy it.”
Nodding off-
Irina answered with a hard tone.
I’ve come here a lot with the red-haired woman and Irina.
I asked Irina, feeling pain in her chest.
“Did you and I come here often?”
“… If you come here often, you can do that. It’s been a long time, but we’ve been together every day. I was taken care of here until you improved your cooking skills.”
In that case.
“Did that red-haired woman come here too?”
“… Yes.”
“Where is she now?”
What is the reason for the silence?
I know what Irina will say.
However, I wanted to hear it directly from her mouth.
Luna stares at me with anxious eyes.
Estiya inhaling the stew without thinking.
Irina said not minding them.
“The red-haired woman’s name is Aina. She is your… Teacher… am. And, she is now
Not in this world.
I’m dead.
“… “
Irina speaks calmly.
I started to fill in the blanks in my memory.
***
“Jun, where do your memories stop?”
“I don’t know, I just know it’s empty.”
What Lee Jun-woo said was true.
He didn’t know which part of his memory he had lost.
Where should Irina start talking?
She pondered for a moment.
‘… I have to explain. I have to explain properly to Jun.’
But.
The opportunity is right in front of you.
If you give up, chances won’t come again.
If I miss this opportunity, can I not regret it next time?
‘Damn it.’
Mobbing her lips in self-loathing.
Irina filled in the blanks for Lee Jun-woo.
“When I saw it. Seeing that he doesn’t remember me and Aina. Jun, you seem to have forgotten your memories of being an adventurer.”
“Memories of my adventurer days… I vaguely remember doing the work of an adventurer, but… I don’t remember exactly what I did. That’s right.”
From noble mtl dot com
Lee Jun-woo nodded at Irina’s words.
It was a reasonable and reasonable reasoning.
Luna shouted, shaking her legs.
“Mister! Rather than that, how about a stew!? It is delicious?!”
“The taste is there. For now, we’re talking among ourselves, so don’t interrupt, Luna.”
“… Chit.”
Annoying!
Luna who doesn’t get in the way at all.
She puffed out her cheeks and glared at Irina.
‘For you to be happy! You shouldn’t have that memory, knight sister! The memory of that red-haired sister! He’s harassing you!’
It’s better not to have memories that make you suffer!
Luna thought so and decided to interrupt their conversation.
However, she came up on the table to catch her attention.
“I baked chicken… It’s hot right now, so eat slowly… “
“Chi, it’s chicken!”
I know it’s worse than the chicken cooked by you!
Anyway, delicious!
Luna took half of the previous night’s dinner.
In the end, she couldn’t resist the temptation of food.
“The food is served. Irina, how far did you talk?”
“You said the memory you forgot was about our party. I will explain everything as far as I can remember.”
Irina referred her memories back to her past and explained those days.
“You were originally begging on the street.”
“… What?”
“Chicken is delicious- no, more than that, you were a beggar?!”
“What! My brother is just like me!”
“Just calm down and listen to me.”
Irina calmed her down and explained again.
“I don’t know the circumstances. Jun You was found begging on the street by Aina and accepted as her apprentice. It was very lucky.”
“Telling a beggar on the street as a disciple… Irina, what kind of a woman is that Aina?”
“She is a crazy woman. To explain in detail, at first I tried to use you as a test subject. When she had a party together, she even threw you into the monsters’ den to train you.”
“Benefactor… It’s a little too much for that.”
A benefactor.
Fishik-
With a smile on her lips, Irina replied with a sad expression.
“Without a doubt, you are a benefactor. I also raised you, who was only strong in spirit, to be strong. He was also special to you.”
“A special being? Could it be that she is not a lover or something?”
“… “
They weren’t even lovers.
Although it was almost like a lover.
To be precise, they are not lovers.
‘I… I’m just telling the truth… Don’t tell lies… ‘
Kwaak-
She is self-justifying and she disgusts herself with Irina.
But she saw her chance, because she knew she had hope.
She answered, overcoming her loathing of self.
“I wasn’t a lover. Special close… She was a close master and disciple.”
“… I feel strange.”
Lee Jun-woo felt strange.
She is not a lover, but she is a special person.
She is said to be a master and disciple, but there is nothing learned in her memory.
She said they’ve been together for years, but she doesn’t remember any of it.
Only a feeling of frustration remained in his heart.
Luna heard the story of the two and sent Estiya a whisper.
“Estiya… ! I heard that… ? Ai or that person was not a lover… ! Thank god… !”
“Grain? But what are you happy about? Is it bad if you have a boyfriend?”
“Well, there is a limit to something! They say that a person with a lover creates an iron wall! I saw it in a love story!”
Luna read a lot of books about heroes.
‘In the book… ! Because I’m dating a dragon and a saint… ! Wizard couldn’t reach… !’
Because I also read the love story that takes place inside the hero’s party.
Luna felt that she was fortunate that the uncle did not have a wall.
However, Estiya didn’t particularly pay attention to that part.
Yum-
Estiya put his stew in his mouth and said.
“Why are there restrictions? Luna, are you stupid?”
“Eh?”
“Even if I have a lover, you will warm my heart! It doesn’t matter if you keep me warm!”
“If the old man had a lover, he wouldn’t be warm to you… ? She won’t stick to you… ?”
“Then, if I stick, it’s over! Loud Luna, I’m going to eat!”
“Eh… “
Estiya is aiming for an affair.
Luna faces up to the fact that love stories are no different from reality.
With her ears perked up, she ate her chicken, focusing again on their conversation.
She said it was delicious to bake in the oven.
Lee Jun-woo, who hadn’t even touched her stew, asked Irina.
“Then can you tell me what you know about Erina?”
“… I will tell you what I know.”
“Yes, thank you.”
So Lee Jun-woo and Irina continued to talk.
Spent time talking about the past.
Lee Jun-woo asked why he was staying with the warrior party.
I could understand with my head.
‘Still, it’s still not enough.’
Even if you understand it with your head.
Since I forgot my mind, I couldn’t fully understand the situation.
Watching Lee Jun-woo continue to ask questions like that, Irina felt a bit of a pain in her heart.
‘… Even if you lose your memory, the first thing you look for is the child, Jun.’
Better than me in front.
Aina is more curious.
It hurts a little bit.
No matter how hardened the knight’s heart was.
In front of Lee Jun-woo, Irina was just a woman.
Did he forget about Minerva too? Isn’t it more easy to read his life book in Minerva library
