Special Chapter. Women’s story (2)
In the end, Ludwig, who could not stand the war, only did not participate in the conversation, and quietly moved his seat.
Since everyone was busy talking, they didn’t even have lunch properly, so there was also a plan to make snacks.
On the other hand, one person’s eyes lit up when the conversation was held only for real women, who no one eavesdropped on anymore.
As if she had been waiting for this moment the most, Scarlett smiled like a goblin and immediately put her prey in sight.
The opponent is none other than Emilia.
She always seems to listen to their conversation from a third person’s point of view, one step away.
That’s why it was my intention to bring it out on the spot today and share a sloppy story together.
“Kuhuhu… Emilia, there won’t be Ludwig anymore… Shall we change the subject?”
“S, Scarlett? I’m afraid of my eyes… … ?”
Seeing her look as if she was going to do something right away, Emilia pressed herself back into the chair and took a step back.
But, just because Scarlett was like that, she was a great person who would easily let go.
In a sense, she is more playful than Tanya.
On the contrary, if he said it was right and rushed at him, he was not the type to easily hide his fangs once they had been raised.
The aura she radiated was so insidious that even Sophia, who had been drinking tea in peace, flinched for an instant.
“What subject?”
While everyone in the audience lost their pace, Tanya calmly munched on cookies and asked Scarlett a question.
Are you thinking of bringing up a story on a very fresh topic?
She didn’t think of anything that came to her mind, but Scarlett always showed a lot of surprises, so she was looking forward to it.
Scarlett, who once again let out an ominous laugh like a dark curtain, confidently announced the topic.
“as soon as… Gossip, gossip.”
“backbiting?”
“S-Scarlett… Wouldn’t it be a little like gossiping in a place where no one else is around?”
“I gossip a little… … .”
Tanya tilted her head at the unexpected answer, followed by the other two who responded with embarrassment.
That would also be the case, because unlike Scarlett and Tanya, who were somewhat playful, Emilia and Sophia had straight-forward personalities.
Even if others didn’t listen, there were many things that made me reluctant to gossip.
However, as if expecting this reaction from the two of them, Scarlett erased her sinister energy and opened her mouth with a fresh smile as usual.
“Of course, even if I said gossip, I didn’t mean that. I don’t even like that.”
“For that reason, Georg seems to have accumulated a lot.”
“Ta, Tanya! Whose side are you on!?”
“Hey, I’m kidding. Joke.”
Scarlett’s face turned bright red at Tanya’s word that burst in the middle, but soon she said, ‘Uh hmm.’ He exaggeratedly cleared his throat to lighten the atmosphere.
“Anyway, what I want to hear is Emilia’s gossip about Ludwig?”
“About my husband… You mean?”
“yes. Of course, I know that the two of them have a good relationship, but there might be a very small complaint, right? Personally, I was curious about that.”
As Scarlett’s explanation continued, a small exclamation flowed from Tanya and Sophia’s mouths at the same time.
There is some truth in what she said, because Emilia was always busy keeping her mouth shut even when Scarlett complained about Georg.
Even if Amman Keum-seul is a good couple, there will be no complaints.
I wondered if he was deliberately not talking about it or if he really didn’t.
“That, well… He is so good to me… … .”
“Ah, Emilia too. Why are you not having fun?”
Seeing her fidgeting with her hands and avoiding her gaze, Scarlett felt a bite coming.
Because of her personality, if she really had no complaints, she would have said it firmly if she hadn’t, because she wouldn’t gossip like this.
In other words, it means that even though there is, it is embarrassing to say it to others, or because of guilt about Ludwig, he cannot readily say it.
“Come on, drink first. Then it will make you feel a little more comfortable, so you can tell me then.”
With lines like middle-aged men flirting at a bar, when Scarlett offered tea, Emilia for some reason closed her eyes and drank it.
“Well, even if Ludwig treats cancer well, there won’t be any complaints.”
“For making Emilia dissatisfied, you should take care of him, Ludwig.”
“… Since Brother is not here, everyone has lost their reins.”
Beside her, Sophia laughed and twisted her lavender hair.
What would be his reaction if Ludwig witnessed this scene?
It’s something to be curious about, but it’s also something you shouldn’t be curious about.
Above all, she did not want to be accused of being an accomplice.
“That… Mmm, of course Ludwig is nice to me… … .”
“Yeah, you know, you know. It’s just a joke.”
As Emilia, who had emptied the car cleanly, began laying the groundwork, Scarlett immediately took her side and relieved her guilt as much as possible.
It wasn’t a story that started with the purpose of really tearing down Ludwig anyway, and the main purpose was to want to see a different side of Emilia.
In the process, Ludwig might be harmed unintentionally, but fortunately the person concerned was away.
Scarlett, who finished rationalizing what she was saying inside, patted Emilia on the shoulder.
It was as if he was admonishing someone who was about to get drunk and told him to vomit.
In response, Tanya shook her head slightly as she watched Scarlett with an expression of wonder.
“Anyway, Ludwig is kind, right? So sometimes… I mean, I want you to be a bit more mean to me.”
“Are bad boys good?”
“No, it’s not like that! I like people with a kind personality, but there are times when I want to see a little different feeling, right?”
“Ah, I think I know what that means.”
In Scarlett’s case, Georg is usually a little blunt, so it’s a similar logic to wanting her to say nice and sweet things like Ludwig.
In other words, rather than because I like that kind of behavior, it is more because I want to see a different atmosphere of my lover.
“uh? But isn’t Ludwig joking around too?”
“When I start a joke, he accepts it, but he rarely does it first.”
“I see… … .”
It’s dissatisfying to be too kind.
I don’t know if this should be considered full, but Scarlett didn’t bother to mention that fact.
Other than Emilia, it must have been something she said out of regret, but what’s the point of lighting a candle?
“Then didn’t Ludwig ever annoy you?”
“Annoyingly… You mean?”
“Yeah, I didn’t hug her on purpose, but I pretended not to know when she asked me to.”
“Hey, there is. but… … .”
but?
The three of them were repeating themselves at the same time.
“… Now, I usually do that when I go to bed.”
“… … .”
After the words that followed, there was a heavy silence in the middle of the room.
Scarlett, who had a lover at least, just laughed as if it was a bit ridiculous, but the reaction of the other two was quite spectacle.
Tanya pretended not to notice and looked away, and Sophia tried her best not to recall the scene, such as clearing her throat and quenching her throat with tea.
“… Dragonfly means that, right?”
“Yeah, that’s right… … ?”
“You seem more desperate than you think.”
At Scarlett’s frank words, Emilia shyly nodded her head while dyeing her cheeks red.
He seemed to say everything he couldn’t say while pretending to take it off.
“Ah, anyway, you mean you want me to play around like that and treat you so openly?”
“Yes, that is correct. Of course, I also really like Ludwig now.”
This was the undeniable truth.
It’s only if you want a little more greed, because Emilia was well a hundred and twenty out of a hundred satisfied with her current husband.
It’s not like the couple’s relationship has been going on for a long time yet, but I thought that if we continued like this, there would be no problem in a hundred years.
I never even imagined breaking up with him in the first place.
“Somehow, I learned a lot of unexpected facts.”
“I’m surprised… What do you mean?”
“Yeah, it’s kind of embarrassing to say this, but Ludwig seemed a little weak at night.”
“ah… … .”
Emilia’s cheeks turned red.

Just like Scarlett said, Ludwig had the impression that he looked a bit skinny from the outside.
Although he had some muscles thanks to his training, he wasn’t as rugged as Georg was.
“I-over there… I’m just asking this out of curiosity… By any chance, how much is Ludwig?”
“Yeah?”
how much do you do I wondered if he was asking for a price, not a thing.
“Oh, no… So, when you’re in a relationship, it usually lasts for a few hours… … ?”
“… … .”
Emilia wondered why she was so interested in this, but she laughed lightly as she listened intently and pretended not to be the other two.
But in the end, I couldn’t tell the truth.
That’s also true, because it’s obvious what the reaction would be if I said I’d lost my mind and never counted.
