127 – Friends between a man and a woman?
Just after a storm named Sonia brought damage with the monsoon season.
I ran out of the store as if running away, unable to bear the stinging gazes around me.
“Haa…”
I was not the only one worried about the attendance request that was approaching a few hours ago.
‘Judging from the reaction when I went out, it seems that I still have about one coin left….’
In other words, there is only one coin left.
Since this opportunity cannot be wasted, I decided to take a step-by-step look at where I went wrong.
First of all, the reaction she showed was like a misfortune heroine who caught her lover’s affair on the spot. To the point where I misunderstood.
‘It wouldn’t be unfair if that was true….’
The misidentified opponent is a lesbian who is habitually targeting her saint’s pockets of divine power, and Sonia also has no reason to do that to me since she almost went to her unwanted marriage book.
‘It must be the mindset that I won’t be able to open my eyes and find happiness by escaping solo.’
There is no doubt that she even mentioned Talia, who was not there.
Now that you know the reason for your anger, it’s time to dig into the details.
Her keywords thrown by her are sufficient.
She said that if she came to the empire, she should take care of herself first.
She almost missed it, but there is a very complex underlying psychology.
Sonia’s feelings for me lie somewhere between friendship and hatred. Even though she’s usually fine, when she sees things going well, she says her stomach hurts.
And a similar relationship could easily be found where I originally lived.
As for me, who had no friends of the opposite s*x, but had many friends of the same s*x, most of them were like that except Yeong-seok, who supported my escape.
-The day you get a girl is the end of our friendship.
-Is it only that much between us?
– You’re saying it’s going to be forever, you idiot.
Dogs.
Anyway, given Sonia’s tough personality, you could say she’s similar to him.
Now that the why has been resolved, it is time to explore the how.
If Sonia were a man, she would just have a drink, go to bed, wake up and get rid of it, but it would be solved, but isn’t she biologically female? Having just realized the aftermath, I have no choice but to approach with caution.
The behavior is a man, but the hysteria is a woman.
Since it is an opponent that has the strengths of both genders and has almost no weaknesses, you must prepare more thoroughly than ever before.
Let’s think that way
-Isn’t that just because he’s interested in you?
In the middle, the ego in charge of the happiness circuit has made a statement.
-Are you fooling me again? Not once or twice.
-You talk too easily that it’s a different world.
-I heard you say that you lose both by mistaking friendship with affection.
I was suppressed and overpowered by the spirit of my egos, who are wearing the scars of a bitter broken heart here and there.
With so many different opinions coming and going.
“Master, what are you worried about?”
I heard Chloe’s voice, not realizing that she was the cause.
If you know what you’re doing, it’s gaslighting.
“I’m worried. I won’t know how to respond tomorrow…”
“Is there anything even Master can’t do?”
“I’m bad at stealing people’s hearts.”
“Is that so?”
Chloe tilted her head and muttered, “I don’t think so.”
“Do you have the confidence to fight him and win?”
“Ummm…”
She thought about closing her eyes for a moment before opening her mouth.
“I think I’ll lose if I fight him.”
Chloe predicts defeat without even fighting.
Indeed. Assassins don’t lose against tanks.
Swoop.
First of all, I had something to receive from this cat, who has a knack for reading the opposite s*x, so I reached out my hand.
“Su, Master?!”
Chloe looked at my hand and began to feel visibly embarrassed.
I thought I would just get over it.
As I urged her to open and close her palms, she blushed and carefully clasped her hands together.
What is this?
A cat that has mastered the gesture of ‘hand’.
Chloe reacts like a puppy, forgetting her own duty.
“Not your hands. You took five platinum coins earlier. Ask for those.”
“Chi…”
Then she took a platinum coin out of her pocket and put it in my hand with a slightly sullen look on her face.
It will be like that a long time ago.
“Hey wait.”
But the number was a little strange.
“One empty?”
“That’s a fee? That’s it!”
Takes 20% as commission.
Have you seen these legal bandits?
As she narrowed her eyes at the scene of real-time looting, Chloe began to come up with her own reasons.
“But Master said that there are many bad people among her rich people.”
“Yes, but why is it here?”
“Then isn’t Master a bad person too?”
She was so innocent that her mind was blanked out by the question.
How many tax thieves are there in the empire. Put your hand on your chest and I will never….
“What am I? I’m a tax thief with good value for money.”
Even if it’s not absolute, it’s a livelihood corruption.
It’s good enough for me.
“Didn’t you tell me that I spent a lot of money earlier?”
“That’s that and this is this. This is the money I earned legitimately with my abilities.”
“Heh heh.”
I laughed out loud at the sight of him hiding the platinum coin in his bosom as if it were precious and turning around.
A disciple betraying his master.
What will be the future of the empire?
In the end, it was decided not to return the platinum coin.
That’s because he’s a man with economic power that can be dismissed as such.
“hehehe.”
I like it that way, but taking the road away is a bit different.
After walking like that, I arrived at the accommodation before I knew it.
“We’re here.”
As soon as we opened the door and entered, Talia and Reina jumped out and greeted us as if they had been waiting on the first floor.
“Porter! Tomorrow…!”
“Leave time tomorrow!”
To the point where it’s a bit burdensome.
“Yeah, you know. I already have an appointment.”
“A promise? You?”
“A stray cat again?!”
“Why are you looking at me!”
When Talia became suspicious of her Chloe, Reina also began to stare at her.
“Get out! It’s strange that you’re here in the first place! You’re not even our party!”
“Master! He’s bothering me!”
I’m dizzy.
Of course, it can be said that Chloe is responsible for about 90% of this, but it seemed like she would become a stray cat, so I decided to clear her of the charges.
“You know that Sonia? Why, did you come to the dorm the other day?”
At the mention of Sonia’s name, Talia’s expression froze rapidly.
“…Why is that villager’s name mentioned here?”
Did I make a mistake?
I’m just going to rant like usual.
It was quite cool to see the small pupils facing me.
“Isn’t it?”
“…”
He was a porter who tried to avoid staring at Talia, who asked again.
***
– Kwy!
As usual, the porter’s morning started with a cute wake-up call from the spirit.
He put his upper body to sleep and stretched his body.
Ah. Today is the day I decided to meet Sonia.
When I hurriedly looked out the window, it was still dark.
Confirming that he still had time to spare, he opened the door to go wash up while removing the mucus from his eyes.
“You woke up early today.”
As he left the room, he encountered a warrior wearing a breastplate over light clothes and going to practice.
“Yes. I have someone to meet in the morning.”
Then, the eyes narrowed slightly.
“…Could that be Talia or Raina?”
Why are they here?
“No. I just had to meet a friend I knew before.”
“You also had a friend…”
Why are you so surprised? Is it such a surprise that I have friends?
“There…”
“Yes?”
“Oh, nothing!”
The warrior, who looked like he had something to say, hurriedly evaded his words and went downstairs.
No big deal. It’s not even a day or two.
“I’m going to take a shower too.”
Thinking nothing of it, I moved toward the bathroom.
– Smart.
Since I was the first person in the party, internal checks were not an option, but a must.
After confirming that no one was there, I felt the dampness as if someone had already used it.
-Shoot ah.
When the cap is opened, water pours from above.
“I felt it yesterday, but it’s really convenient.”
One could wonder why a shower was in a place like this, but considering mana as electricity, I somehow got it. It’s not that strange considering that it’s an accommodation for a party of warriors supported by the empire.
– Kiki-kki-lik.
I turned the lever and waited for the hot water to come out.
Cold showers are the national rule for real men, but now you are not alone.
– Kyuwoo~.
“Is this enough?”
If you don’t want to be arrested for child abuse, what should I do?
I washed my body while being hit by the stream of water pouring down like that, and picked up the soap.
“That’s why our Kyudol is a real man.”
When I made fluffy foam and put it on Kyadol’s head and gave it a nice beard as a bonus, the cuteness and macho look were added.
– Kyuwoo!
Then, while shaking his body, Kyudol showed his dislike.
I made it with care, but it’s too much.
– Kyuwoo! Kwy!
“A ribbon. Did you have that kind of taste?”
I was shocked to see him confidently revealing his taste.
– Kyuwoo!
Still, you ask me to do it like that, but is there anything special?
“Now, is that enough?”
When I put a small ribbon-shaped bubble on the guy’s size, he checks himself in the mirror.
– Kwyoo~♬
It was only then that he seemed to like it and was humming.
That’s right. Whatever you like, I can understand.
I decided to convince myself that I could digest it because I was a idol.
When it was time to go out, I tried to wash off the foam with water, but a situation of rebellion occurred for a while.
-Kyuwoo….
Let’s go downstairs, wiping our hair with a towel while soothing the sullen Kyudol.
“Good morning porter.”
“Good morning.”
Someone had already taken a seat on the first floor.
Reina is reading a newspaper, and Talia is eager to be a hairdresser from the morning, reflecting her face with her hand mirror.
Two people who growled at the sight of each other lately are in the same room since morning. Did the sun rise in the west?
“Okay, good morning… what’s up?”
However, the expressions on their faces were unusual.
To the point where you can even glimpse a sense of spleen at first glance.
“What are you talking about? It’s not like that.”
Reina responds by bringing her tea to her mouth.
From noble mtl dot com
I’m holding the newspaper upside down.
“What is work? I heard you have more appointments than that? Isn’t it late?”
Talia asked, who was licking her lips to check if the lipstick was working well.
“Oh, I’m going now. Then I’ll be back.”
– Tak.
When the porter left the dorm, silence lingered on the first floor, where only the two of them were left.
Swoop.
The two went into their respective rooms as if they had promised, and soon changed into different clothes and came out.
“Where is the location?”
“No problem.”
In the spell that appeared above Talia’s hand, a black arrow was moving somewhere.
Nod.
Facing each other, the two nodded and left the dorm.
***
When I went to the meeting place, I found that there was no one in the plaza.
There, only the fountain welcomed me by spurting water vigorously.
Come to think of it, I only said it was morning, but I didn’t tell you the exact time.
That moment when you thought that you might have already left because you were late.
“It came sooner than expected.”
“Did you expect a little…?”
For some reason, Sonia, who gave me a lot of strength, shyly greeted me.
