Episode 147 Welcoming the guest of fear.
* * *
It’s been a long time since I’ve been able to rest comfortably like this.
The other kids had their very strong personalities, so when we’re together, I feel like I’m running out of energy, so it doesn’t seem like I’m resting even if I’m resting.
On the other hand, Priscilla had a round and docile personality, so she didn’t have to suffer from that at all.
“Thanks to you, I am resting so well. Say thank you to your parents too.”
“I know, so let’s go. He won’t be waiting either.”
“It’s sad. I will go quickly.”
“Didn’t you say something like that? And he said he got the house key from my dad. You’ll see it often.”
What kind of iron man does he think of me?
This time, he gave me some words in advance, and it’s because he’s someone I need to meet at least once.
How do you stay at someone else’s house every time?
I don’t know if it’s like a friend who is on the move.
it’s a public good
“It’s a little bit like a bastard with no conscience.”
“If you notice staying at the main house, you can stay at the villa.”
“Did you have a villa?”
“Did your grandfather say there were many when he was young? Now I have everything sorted out and there is only one small thing. However, it is still maintained, so it is clean.”
if so, what
It doesn’t matter as long as Priscilla’s family suddenly comes over while you’re resting at the villa.
“Then let’s go together later.”
“Okay, let’s get on the plane first. You are going through immigration procedures right now. If you miss this one, you’ll have to wait a long time until the next flight, you know?”
“It’s f*cked up. I’ll call you on the plane. see ya!”
“well… ”
After kissing very lightly to the point of not being noticed by others, he ran towards the departure gate.
Fortunately, Priscilla’s expression was bright.

“late.”
“I’m here as soon as possible.”
“You should have run.”
“So you ran.”
“An alarm is not a run. to sprint.”
Although he answered bluntly, Aina’s expression was sincere.
The corners of the lips that flutter as if they were about to rise even though they were in the middle.
A playful spirit grew at her cute appearance, and she grabbed Aina’s cheek and lifted it slightly.
“Meha is the one.”
“If you want to laugh, you have to laugh. is not it?”
When I made a mischievous expression on her face, Aina looked at me with disapproving eyes, then shook her head and bit her hand.
“ah… !?”
Naturally, I thought I was biting, and I was about to start screaming, but it wasn’t.
I just gently lick my fingers in my mouth and lift them up.
Even the appearance of meticulously controlling the teeth in case their teeth touch.
Why did he do all these services for me?
don’t fit
I’m so good
“… how was it?”
Aina breathes in and slowly exhales her fingers.
How was it?
Of course it was the best.
The answer was replaced with a look that put the wet index finger into his mouth and then pulled it out.
“Crazy bastard!”
slap!
The pain felt like a fire burning in my back.
No, I think that was a good answer, but why?
It doesn’t seem polite to wipe it off as it is, and it doesn’t seem sincere to just say it was good and leave it alone.
“Why are you hitting me?”
“Did you ever think it was weird before you act?”
“How about thinking after you act? Oh, I’m not saying I didn’t think of that. It’s a decision I made after careful consideration.”
“But did you do that?”
“It’s a waste.”
“Ha, I don’t know. It’s so daring that I feel like I’m getting weirder.”
I was originally a person far from common sense.
It’s been like that for a long time, but it’s a fuss all over again.
As if Aina had finally recognized that, at some point, she had returned to her original expressionless figure.
If there’s one thing that’s different from before, it’s that you’re right next to me.
“I feel strangely good today.”
“When did you say you didn’t?”
“Honestly, that’s right. no?”
“Of course not… ”
Yes, I am not willing to answer this.
Because you’re not the type to lie.
“Look, that’s right. So, why are you doing so well today?”
“Your father wants to meet you.”
“What? why?”
It’s a mountain over a mountain, and I thought I would die of fear to face the Priscilla family, but I have to meet the current head of the Mitsuru family?
‘Why don’t you tell me to die?’
This was a completely different level of problem from meeting Priscilla’s family.
No matter how great the Carlyle family may have been, the present day is just a family that is prosperous.
Talking to Bertrand wasn’t too difficult for me, if I didn’t think of the fact that he was ‘my girlfriend’s strict father’.
However, the Mitsuru clan was one of those families that still maintained so much power that even flying birds could be dropped.
At the very least, I don’t know if it was an ordinary aristocratic family, to face the head of the Mitsuru family, famous for their ghosts.
“I think it’s because it’s our first date.”
“Isn’t it great?”
“I don’t know. My father is a difficult person to know what he is thinking.”
“What do you think about running away?”
“Do you think it will be?”
I guess so too.
In fact, since Aina knew every move I made, someone higher than that would have known better if they knew better, because there is no way that I don’t know.
What is Aina’s father really trying to say?
I don’t even want to talk about kind words like in Bertrand’s time, so I hope it gets resolved.
I can’t really predict what you’ll say, but first of all, you have to be prepared.
“Yeah, let’s go.”
“Is that the opposite direction from my house?”
“Still, I thought it would be better to take something like a gift. It’s a bit like going empty-handed.”
Fortunately, it was during the daytime that I found out that I had to meet Aina’s father.
You will have plenty of time to choose a gift.
Of course, when I stayed at Priscillane, I brought a present.
It was a bit of a pity that I couldn’t prepare for the first day because it was a sudden decision in the middle of the night, but, well, where is the show of sincerity?
“Do you know what my father likes?”
“I don’t know. So I’m going with you.”
“Oh, how can you be so shameless?”
* * *
“Have you been? Little master.”
“My father?”
“I am waiting for you in the main house.”
“Tell them that you are ready to go.”
“I will tell you that.”
stupid
really.
Last time, Jangwon (??) was talking about blah blah blah blah blah, but it wasn’t just a spit.
‘If the lot is this large, is it enough for a commercial complex to be built?’
While Aina was chatting with her attendants, I was looking around the house.
Of course, I didn’t go very far because I thought I would get lost without a guide.
“Stop sneaking around and prepare your mind. I’m going to see you now.”
“Pooh”
I took a deep breath and followed Aina.
The place where her footsteps stopped as she was moving forward was in front of the main building, the tallest and largest building.
“Drink inside. Both young and young.”
The servant, who was standing in a respectful posture, as if waiting for us to come, spoke first.
Wow, you look at me with spirits.
In my life, I’ve never heard of such an unfamiliar name.
I feel good though.
“Then I’ll just leave. I hope you have a comfortable time.”
The servant, standing in front of the large sliding door, nodded and bowed his head.
I also lightly bowed in response.
Then, the servant brought up an unexpected story.
“You are kind. But you don’t have to say thank you to each one. We will be serving you soon, so please take it as a matter of course and take it for granted.”
The servant, who left a sweet word, disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Who are you going to meet?
I stopped trying to ask Aina, wondering what kind of floating cloud it was.
Judging by the look of her vividly recalled, I thought I would not be able to pick out the bones if I brought up even a useless story.
Aina, who has become like this, knows from numerous learning experiences that it is best to leave it alone.
As I walked into the courtyard without saying a word, a man with an ordinary, ordinary impression was quietly manipulating the bonsai.
“Hey, my pretty daughter, are you here now?”
“… ?”
Is this person Aina’s father?
I can’t believe it.
It’s just like a friend’s dad you can see anywhere you go.
However, my senses were sending a signal that it was dangerous as soon as I saw that warm impression.
I’d rather not know a person like Aina who completely kills her emotions.
Because I felt that I was a very good human being to act so naturally that I didn’t even feel a sense of incongruity, to completely hide one’s inner feelings and to recognize others’ inner feelings.
“Did you definitely say your name was ‘Sungjin’? Come on. A very valuable guest has arrived, and I’m sorry that the hospitality was neglected. Let me reserve a seat for you.”
“Oh, no. You are not a precious guest. You don’t even have to float it like that. I am also satisfied with the opportunity to meet the head of the Mitsuru family.”
With slightly trembling hands, I handed him the gift I had prepared in advance.
“No, what did you prepare for all this? But I won’t refuse since it’s a given. I’ll try to open it later.”
“Hey, sadly what are you talking about? It is still not polite to come empty-handed.”
I tried my best to answer as brightly as possible so as not to show any signs of embarrassment.
However, that determination was immediately shattered in the next word.
“But, wouldn’t there be a gift that was only given to 100-year-old guests?”
The man replied with a smile on his face, no, no smile, nothing.
Taken from n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
Man, because the corners of his eyes bent like a crescent moon didn’t show any emotion.“In Korea, they say this is how they call it, but I don’t know if that’s true. Well, it’s good, isn’t it? In this day and age, there are a few people who can only live to be 100 years old. After all, it’s like this, let’s pretend you’re a thousand-year-old guest.”
