68 – First we need to learn the human mind
After a light brawl at the cafe, Amelia and Hyunjin returned to the mansion.
Of course, when we returned, each of us used a different one.
Amelia calls Ed, and Hyunjin rides a bicycle.
It was a day not much different from the usual.
‘Ha ha. Cooking, cooking…… It’s a big deal.’
‘I’ll be questioned, after all?’
They met each other at the entrance of the mansion with different concerns.
“Hyunjin.”
“My lady.”
They both turned their heads at the same time and opened their mouths to the extent that it felt like they were trying to do it.
“Oh, it’s okay. From Hyunjin…… “
“Let’s start with the young lady.”
Since the purpose was to say the same thing again, we just looked at each other in silence.
“Poo Sup!”
It was Amelia who laughed first.
“Oh, miss?”
“Just…… This situation is funny.”
“Yes?”
“Yeah, you keep looking at me with the eyes of a mistake, and that’s cute.”
“Isn’t it a bit out of place to say that a man is cute?”
The two exchanged lightly with each other.
“Hyunjin, expect it.”
“Yes? What…… You mean?”
“This weekend.”
“Ah, you seem to be looking forward to the movie and theater?”
Hyunjin asked such a question without notice.
In fact, Amelia knows that’s not the real event.
In fact, Saturday’s promise is that it’s a battlefield.
A place where you can seize opportunities while showing off your femininity.
Amelia could not help but feel her shame if she did not prepare properly.
‘It’s okay, it’s fortunate that they didn’t notice.’
Originally, if you know this kind of thing, it’s not fun.
‘And, because Hyunjin ate it deliciously when I cooked it before that…… Unexpectedly, I might be good at cooking.’
I felt relieved when I reminded him of the memory of cooking for Hyunjin the other day.
Ohana knows that she has a knack for cooking, as we’ve seen before, but she didn’t think that Ayako from the Hozuki family, a member of the three families, would be able to do that as well.
‘Hmph, it must have been a bluff…… I know Hyunjin’s taste better, so I don’t have to worry too much.’
I don’t know if Ayako has her skills or not, but there is no doubt that she is showing off her bravado.
Actually, Hyunjin tasted his own food and thought it was delicious.
Even though it was only Amelia’s one-sided misunderstanding.
Amelia, who had concluded that way, smiled and said to Hyunjin.
“Hyunjin.”
“Tell me, young lady.”
Unexpected words flew to Hyunjin, who was nervous because she didn’t know what to say behind her smiling face.
“I think you might not have known, so I’ll skip it this time, but if I meet Aya-chan in the future, I want you to tell me about it.”
“Yes, sorry to trouble you. Miss.”
Hyunjin was just bewildered by this situation.
I thought I would be scolded if I went back to the mansion.
‘If it’s fortunate, it’s fortunate.’
She can’t show it off the outside, but this time she was definitely aware that she was wrong, so she couldn’t understand the situation itself.
“Let me go first.”
As Amelia said, she turned her back and went inside her mansion.
Hyunjin looked behind Amelia with a puzzled look on her face, then she turned her head away, startled by the presence of Ed who quietly approached her.
“Hyunjin, do you have a moment?”
“Oh, I’m surprised. If you suddenly appear from the side, even I am surprised. Mr. Ed.”
“Answer?”
The elderly butler, Ed, asked Hyunjin again.
“Yes.”
“Let’s go and talk. Come with me.”
Ed said to Hyunjin.
***
“Can you tell me why you called me separately?”
When I asked Ed a question while walking down the corridor of the mansion, he answered Hyunjin.
“Even though there are no eyes to see, there are many ears to hear. Let’s go somewhere quiet and talk.”
Ed replied in a calm tone.
‘What the hell are you talking about?’
I was curious about your intentions, but please tell me frankly here, Hyunjin didn’t have the courage to say the same thing.
Soon, the place where Ed’s steps stopped was his room.
‘I’ve never been here before.’
As Hyunjin thought to himself, Ed opened his mouth.
“Come in.”
Hyunjin, who entered after Ed, had no choice but to stick out his tongue at the atmosphere of the room.
Antique furniture that looked antique was lined up in rows.
I noticed things that were close to rare scenes, comparable to the things I saw when I was taking butler lessons from Ed.
Hyunjin went into the room and shut the door.
“Now, my room is well soundproofed, so there is no need to worry about the noise leaking out.”
“Yes? Suddenly…… ?”
“It means you can say anything you like. Why, did you even think that you would be beaten?”
Ed said with a chuckle.
When he suddenly said that there was no fear of noise leaking out while locking the door, Hyunjin could only think of a high possibility and nodded his head.
Moreover, it is also a situation that has already caused controversy to Amelia.
I thought there was no way Ed wouldn’t know that.
In fact, Ed already knew the situation when he and Amelia arrived at the mansion for the first time.
I must have grasped the situation in some way.
Satellite cameras, cctv hacking, or using wiretaps on Amelia’s clothes.
Hyunjin, who grasped the situation in that way, felt a chill at the thought that he would know everything that had just happened at the cafe.
In a situation where something went wrong, Ed often stepped forward himself.
“Hyunjin, you first need to learn the human mind.”
“The human heart…… You mean?”
Hyunjin asked Ed back with an expression that he did not understand.
“I’ve been going out a lot lately. Although the lady gave permission, basically you and I are the ones who serve Lionheart Mansion.”
Ed preaches while bringing out the theories.
Definitely.
In retrospect, it was a situation where he had to return to the mansion as soon as possible after school to take care of Amelia.
“Sorry.”
“What should I be sorry for? This is what I called you to give guidance based on my personal thoughts, Hyunjin.”
“Yes…… ?”
“Looking at your behavior lately, it seems that you have neglected your attitude towards the young lady.”
Hyunjin couldn’t refute Ed’s words.
In reality, in order to prevent the heroine from approaching Ryunosuke, isn’t it often outside activities after school?
I wouldn’t have even dreamed of something like that.
To be honest, Hyunjin didn’t even think that he would be involved with the heroines this far.
At first, she thought she just needed to see Amelia happy.
The meaning has changed. Well, it should have been closer to that.
“Definitely.”
“There must be a reason for letting the young lady go free, but if the lady forgets even the favor she did, then such a beast will surely need discipline.”
This was Ed’s warning to Hyunjin.
“That is not true.”
“…… Whoa, can you tell me why?”
Even in such a situation, when Hyunjin calmly opened his mouth, Ed asked in an interesting tone.
Hyunjin carefully brought up the topic while swallowing.
“My lady first instructed me to observe a boy named Ryunosuke Natsuki.”
“Hmm, so?”
“But I knew it wouldn’t help the lady’s happiness.”
“Wait…… Tell me what that has to do with it.”
Ed asked Hyunjin as if he hadn’t been able to figure out everything about his school life.
“There are many other women around Ryunosuke, whom you love. I was looking away to block it.”
“Hmm…… “
Perhaps it was an unbelievable story, Ed put his hand to his chin and made a contemplative gesture.
“In reality, thanks to such an act, the meeting between the young lady and Ryunosuke became more frequent, didn’t it? If you’re Deacon Ed, you must have a way to figure out that much.”
“It sure did.”
Ed nodded as if he was right.
“I wonder if there is any reason for me to be reprimanded for this.”
When Hyunjin spoke in a confident tone, Ed opened his mouth in a hint, even though he was worried.
“Yes, I can understand how much you suffer. Busy getting attention from other girls?”
“…… Well, if you talk about it, yes.”
Hyunjin nodded to Ed’s words.
“Even so, it shouldn’t be a complete turnaround. Isn’t it our job to serve the young lady?”
“Yes…… Yes, too.”
With a trembling voice, Hyunjin answered Ed’s words.
“As expected, you need to learn more about the human mind. My advice ends here. Go back and get some rest.”
“Thank you.”
Hyunjin bowed to Ed and left her room.
“You still don’t understand a woman’s heart. Even so, I have no intention of encouraging me.”
Originally, isn’t love supposed to start when our eyes meet?
Ed muttered to himself as Hyunjin left and the door closed.
Hmm
