35 – I hate assembly like this! (4)
It was around the time that Aisha trembled and closed her eyes tightly, taking the first bite of the bruschetta I offered her. He suddenly came over and sat across from me on his own accord.
It was our first meeting, but it was a familiar face to me.
A silver-gray cat, a beast with pricked ears, a 4th year academy, and the daughter of the 4th duke, the Shamilton family.
‘Tinyasif Shamilton… He came on his own.’
I knew from the moment Serien appeared. Because she is a guy who always follows Serien, who is in a rivalry, 1 + 1.
It’s not a very pleasant event product. It’s a dog + cat set.
Since he was also on the list of newcomers, it is not surprising that he appeared. But I was surprised in another part.
‘Hair… Gloss… Wow.’
What to hide. I’m actually quite a fan of cats.
Looking at Nyamilton’s cute cat ears, which were not expressed in game illustrations, the desire to play with them soared.
…That’s just what I said.
Tinya Schiff put his finger to her lips, winking at those who looked at her blankly. It’s me, I was busy capturing Aisha’s cute appearance, so I kept my mouth shut.
In the end, it was only after watching Aisha’s cute, cute and lovely appearance together in spectator mode that Tinyashif let out a cat-like cry.
“Nya~”
I can’t stand it! Jellies… Let’s look at the jellies. Hands out!
“I never thought that the Archwitch could be such an innocent maiden.”
“You, you, you!!”
“Ah~ please don’t be angry. The Archwitch wasn’t the one who showed off in a public place like this.”
If the ending ends with nya, it’s called nyang. It’s very neat. Memo…
At her common sense words, Aisha pressed her lips together and glared at her coldly. Either that or not, Tinya Schiff leisurely washed his hands and ate her portion of food nonchalantly.
To be able to act like that while receiving the gaze of the Archwitch.
As expected, the poker face of a merchant is definitely different. It was the strong heart of Shamilton Down, the target family.
‘All the money in the world goes through Shamilton.’
From nobles to commoners, there is no one who does not know this famous saying. Among the four major dukes, Shamilton is a family of strange species who live on money and die on money.
She used Aisha as a Maneki Neko and was doing business, but Jintung Maneki Neko went away.
“Did you come to greet Master too?”
“Right! It’s meant to be bumped into in the same club room in the future. I came to say hello in advance.”
“Cum?”
Isn’t that the purpose of personnel affairs?
At my question, Tinya Schiff narrowed his eyes and continued.
“I heard that old Serien came and went first. I guess I can’t lose either.”
As expected. You came here because of competition.
Garatroso and Shamilton have been at odds with each other since time immemorial. The apparent reason is very childish.
“Don’t bribe my people with money!”
“I want to make money, so why bother!”
Garatroso values power through personal connections, and Shamilton solves everything with money. If we make small concessions, we will be able to eat and live well together in a win-win relationship, but it seems that is not going well.
Of course, disputes at the family level do not come about with such childish thinking. There were several incidents between them.
“I came because I was hoping to win the Archwitch over to my side, but I’m glad I did.”
“Why?”
“I heard you cut it off. Very well done!”
I got compliments from two people for that. Serien… Your karma is heavy.
“Anyway, nothing seems to have happened, so I’ll just take a picture of my eyes and go back. Grand Witch! Good luck in the future!”
“Use respectful words, cheeky kid.”
When Aisha opened her mouth, the world responded to her will and pressed the atmosphere heavily. She was seen breaking into a cold sweat as she parted ways with the chefs, struggling to keep her mind at bay.
At my level, this level of intimidation can be lightly shed, but isn’t this the academy? There is no way anyone can withstand her strong will of mana.
But Tinya Schiff grinned casually and slapped his hand.
“Sorry! Because we prisoners don’t use honorifics! I will be careful in the future!”
She honestly admired Aisha’s ability to kill her.
‘Isn’t that great?’
Isn’t that enough to not have a strong heart? It’s not something you would do in front of someone who could blow your life away with a glance.
Shall we raise it as Aisha’s counterpart?
“… Hey.”
“Huh?”
Suddenly, Aisha turned her head towards me and squeezed my collar.
“Why are you excited to see her?”
Aha… That’s why I was in a bad mood. I’m sorry, but I wasn’t thrilled as a member of the opposite s*x. I was just excited to see the kitty. Kitten ears, cat tail… How good are they?
If I explain it like this, I won’t be able to say it because I’m afraid that Aisha will see me as a dysphoric person who gets excited about animals.
“Nyahahahaha! Archwitch is very jealous! I have no interest in Count So, so you can rest assured!”
“What!? How cool is Tyr!”
Doesn’t it make sense that you can’t acknowledge me? Well, what do you mean
“Then I will go for real!”
“Oh, wait a minute. Senior.”
“Huh?”
I called Tinyashif, who quickly turned away, and pointed to the booth.
“Now that I am a member, you have to help the booth.”
“Nyan?”
Where are you going?

‘Lord, I thought I was going to die!’
When the High Witch spoke at me with a sultry voice full of anger, I thought she was really saying goodbye to this world.
Scary, scary, I’ve only heard of it. In reality, the power was completely different. I felt that my body would be split into thousands of pieces with a clear murderous intent I had never felt in my life.
If I hadn’t learned the basic virtue of a merchant from my family, a poker face, I might have been trembling and exhausted on the spot.
I felt amazing about Count So, who was fine even after receiving her murderous blows from the front.
Was it because she was sure that the Great Witch would not really kill her, or was it because Count So had the same level of skill as her?
They laughed awkwardly and patted the archwitch on the head, then continued to eat casually.
Didn’t he even feed the Grand Witch who was sitting on her lap just a moment ago?
‘Everyone can see that they are lovers.’
It is obvious from the innocent reaction of the Great Witch, who is known to be more cruel than anyone else.
Even if she grabs a passing cat and asks about the relationship between the two, only a pitiful look will come back saying, “Don’t you know even after looking at it?”
‘I’ll have to change my mind a bit.’
She knew at least that the High Witch was pleased with her apprentice. But seeing it in person, it was much more than I thought. What she already does is nothing like a newlywed couple.
At first, she thought she was going to attract the Archwitch, but changing her target seemed like a good thing.
‘If you only attract her cow count, the great witch naturally follows.’
The benefits she can attract even by borrowing her name as the Great Witch are beyond imagination. At that moment, the Shamilton family could rise to the top of the 4th Duke.
In order to attract her Countess So, she must inevitably approach him and win her favor, but the reaction the Great Witch showed her just now is heartbreaking.
She is not the Great Witch of Cold, but the Great Witch of Jealousy.
‘If I approach first, I might really die without even knowing the mouse or bird…’
Originally, the bigger the risk, the bigger the profit. Walking the risky tightrope is not difficult for me, who has overcome numerous adversities as a merchant.
Originally, he had no interest in Count So. So, of course, she thought that she would be able to do the simple thing of getting a crush.
At first, I wasn’t really interested. I really did…
‘It’s a big deal…’
She became unable to take her eyes off him.
The moment our eyes met for the first time, my heart fluttered with a male for the first time in my life. My younger siblings said that if you fall in love with a handsome male, her tail and ears will become stronger.
It was true. The ears that have been raised since earlier show no sign of coming down.
Didn’t he even intuit the archwitch’s flirtation right in front of his eyes? I lost my imagination dozens of times about how I would feel if I were there.
‘Maybe I like it now…’
She wore an apron and scratched the figure of him preparing to open the store with a coy gaze, desperately hiding the romance that bloomed secretly.
—–
‘You’re surprisingly good at your work?’
It seems that not all princesses are the same just because they are princesses like Serien. Tinyashif was very skillful in taking care of the chores and helping out.
It is not a skill that has been done once or twice. As her I looked at her curiously, Tinya Siff winked at her cutely and said,
“It’s only old Serien that lives without water on her hands because she’s her princess. It’s prejudice! When you run the guild, you have to take care of many things.”
“Okay. You are amazing.”
It was an honest feeling. She’s Ayesha too. She’s only recently started doing some cooking, but she doesn’t know how to do any housework, so she left it all to Ramina Sis.
And that laminasis didn’t know how to do anything three years ago. So, the idea that a person with a position in this world does not know how to do odd jobs has stuck.
So, even though it was a cooking study group, I thought I would do the activities alone and only sample the rest.
When I said a word of praise, Tinyashif smiled brightly and shouted out loud.
“Just leave it to me!”
“Nyan?”
“Oh, mistake. Nothing.”
Tinyashif shook his head and concentrated on what he was doing again.
Turn on the blinker and come in! Uh, you only say nyang when it ends with ‘nya’, but what if you suddenly add the ending nyang to other words, my heart trembles.
At that time, an imagination suddenly passed through my mind.
‘If she were Aisha…’
“Be cute, Nyan…”
Inadvertently, I imagined Aisha wearing cat ears, crawling on all fours and making a gurgling noise at me.
Well, uh … I’ll definitely come to a heart attack.
I need an illustration of that right now nya
