044 Live Twice (2)
But it actually happened.
“The number of people . . . . It has grown a lot.”
I opened the door and stood and looked at the youngsters lined up in the hallway.
Kristel with an excited expression, Sir Elizabeth, who is pretending to be calm but obviously excited, Canael who doesn’t know why she’s here, and.
“Are you not tired, Prince?”
He naturally ignored my question.
I don’t know how he persuaded me, but Christel really succeeded in bringing the prince.
He was wearing a long black robe and was standing tall and staring at me.
How is this possible? Weren’t you friends?
I thought I had threatened him, but as far as things went, there was no way for me to escape.
“If you go out like this, you will stand out. everyone······. It’s not an ordinary look.”
Still, I tried the last rebellion.
“So I prepared. Voila!”
Kristel smiled brightly and held out a small basket.
Upon taking a peek, there were a bunch of very suspicious-looking potions and glasses.
I swallowed dry saliva.
Demi, who was droopy, made a squeaking noise from the bed.

“This is my first time coming here, right?”
“Yes, it is.”
Sir Elizabeth, who had gone from dark green hair to brown hair, and Canael, who also had light blue hair to brown hair, walked forward friendlyly.
It wasn’t just the whip that Kristel bought at the ‘Go General Trading Post’.
As if she had anticipated such an event in advance, she stocked up a bunch of magic tools to help with disguise and camouflage.
I bought a lot of other things, but I didn’t even dare to ask.
I walked through the night market with the prince on the left and the main character on the right.
I tried to fall back slowly by myself, but each time Kristel noticed and looked at me like a ghost, so I couldn’t help it.
The street, lit as much as possible with small, inexpensive magic lights, was crowded as if all the villagers of Lucca had left.
Stalls selling all kinds of goods, food, and alcohol stood in all directions with a small fountain in the center.
There were also children running around the narrow passages with large dogs.
The atmosphere was 180 degrees different from the Imperial Palace or the Imperial Capital.
“Prince, would you like to try that?”
With a smile on her lips, Kristel spoke.
Dark brown eyes with eye drops were looking at me.
I turned to where she was pointing.
‘Dagger Throwing Competition!’
“… it looks dangerous.”
“It’s a dull day, so it’s okay. Let’s see, ‘We will give you a prize just by hitting the target. The owner’s special pastrami sandwich and dragon fruit juice for those who hit the center!’ Oh, I’m going to eat it. Money is good.”
“Let’s do it.”
I answered.
“yes?”
“You came to the night market, shouldn’t you be aiming for prizes?”
“Suddenly you became serious.”
“Let’s go, Prince.”
At my words, the prince let out a low breath.
He hated getting potions on his body, so he ended up wearing disguise glasses, but to our eyes, who already knew his identity, he looked just like an ordinary prince.
Even if it was expensive, passersby didn’t pay any attention to him.
“Welcome, three of you? 10 francs for the 3rd challenge!”
“Yes, I will.”
The friendly-looking owner put on an apron and greeted us.
Christel responded bravely and paid her 30 francs.
Sir Elizabeth and Canael were biting the chicken skewers and watching the situation with interest.
“Thank you, Princess Sarnez.”
I greeted you in a small way.
“You’re welcome. Then you throw it at me.”
“Good luck.”
Having said that, the master handed him an old dagger.
Kristel lightly walked over the robe over her head and raised her arms.
Her hair, which had turned dark brown, was tightly braided.
She said that she stretched and pulled her right arm holding the sword and aimed at the target.
-widely!
“Oh oh!”
Hit the target at once! The two audiences responded enthusiastically.
Although it was not the center, it was the first time that he hit the target straight away.
“Then I’ll throw this time.”
I took the dagger from the master.
Pastrami sandwiches and dragon fruit juice were a combination I could never give up.
Kristel burst out laughing at why her face was so wretched, but I couldn’t laugh together.
Come to think of it, I never hit a dart properly even when I went to a bar in college, so how about here?
*
Body and mind were torn. The three of them gathered around me and whispered nonstop.
“The prince seems to be overflowing with only real aether.”
“Princess, please be quiet…”
“Prince, be strong! When I get to the Marquis, I will place the order for pastrami with the chef.”
“Thank you······.”
“Prince, the wrist is important in throwing. You can’t sell it.”
“It’s already too late…”
With five people watching even the master, all three daggers in my hand were fiercely killed.
I resented the author and sold the indigo plant to the point of grinding my teeth.
What kind of guy’s ‘sub male’ doesn’t have mana sensitivity, and his motor nerves are low?
While Kristel hit all three daggers at the target, I only publicly sneered at the owner…
“Isn’t Grandpa over there?”
A woman’s voice pulled me out of the swamp.
When I turned my head, the owner was talking to the prince.
To others, he looked like a grandfather with the glasses on.
Sir Elizabeth covered her mouth with her hand and began to laugh.
“·················ogue.”
The prince looked a little displeased, but he was surprisingly docile and handed the dagger.
The orange eyes that held the handle and peered into the sword’s body flashed a different color.
Wait a minute, that guy…
*
– Tung!
Kristel put down her half-empty beer mug.
Big, round eyes filled with dissatisfaction.
“It is a foul to use magic.”
“Princess, calm down and take a bite of this.”
I gave Kristel a pastrami sandwich on the table.
There were as many as three sandwiches with pastrami and coleslaw sandwiched between the rye bread baked by the owner himself.

One of them was me, and the other was being shared by Sir Elizabeth and Canael in a friendly way.
Even after 11 o’clock, there were no people in the street pub.
“If I dip the dagger in water and take it out, I can hit it right in the center. It’s completely possible.”
“Why didn’t you take action?”
The prince accepted Kristel’s words.
A little while ago, in the ‘Dagger Throwing Contest!’, he hit the center three times in a row and ripped out three sandwich sets, but he didn’t even touch the food.
It’s good because it’s me, but I didn’t know that the two of you would get into an argument like this again.
“Prince, thank you for the sandwich, but don’t make fun of the princess too much.”
“You just made fun of me, right? I was confused as to whether he was seriously asking because he was drinking.”
Kristel interrupted my words.
When I checked the glass to see if I was already drunk, the beer that looked like 750ml was running out of the bottom in an instant.
This guy is talkative.
“No, I didn’t mean to make fun of you.”
I immediately reversed my words. The prince raised the tip of one eyebrow, but he stubbornly ignored it.
I’ve been thinking about it for a few days now, but I think I’ll have to revise my strategy soon.
If you could not avoid the two of them in this way, it would be more comfortable to put the two together.
It wasn’t going my way, but I was in the mood to try.
“And there are prizes that the princess received.”
“Yes, it is beautiful. Sandwiches disappear when you eat them, but that’s okay because you can keep them for a long time.”
With a victorious spirit, she pulled out a braided ornament.
Each was modeled after the gods ‘Blessing of the Changhae’, ‘The Wisdom of Mars’ and ‘Ark of Biryeom’, and it was a gift the owner gave to Christel, who hit the target.
It is said that souvenirs with the theme of the four gods are common in the Empire.
It seemed to be similar to selling Eiffel Tower keychains in Paris and Cheomseongdae chocolate in Gyeongju.
“I will have this, and I will give this to the prince. This······.”
Kristel hesitated, and with a slightly wrinkled look, he held out a spear-shaped ring to the prince.
I barely caught the corners of my lips rising.
“I will dedicate it to the Prince.”
“Thank you, princess.”
Afraid that the prince would refuse, I quickly created an atmosphere where I felt like I had to hit a player and receive a present.
Sandwiches and juices that Kristel did not eat were handed over to Sir Elizabeth and Canael on the other side.
The two of them chatted quietly, laughing and liking each other.
“·················ogue.”
The prince silently looked at the sword ring on the table, reached out and put it in the pocket of his robe.
A moment of exhilaration spread. Wow, this is what it is!
Even with a little push, the two seemed to be getting closer!
“Thank you all for coming with us.”
Seeing new hope, I cried out to Jeong Eun-seo, but Kristel suddenly spoke up.
In his hand was a glass of beer that the owner of the pub had just refilled.
“There were a lot of things I wanted to do. However, the servant who brought me home just wrapped me around, so it was a little frustrating. I understand, but…”
Then he gulped down the beer.
Sir Elizabeth refused to drink because she was on duty, and Canael was drinking dragon juice.
I used to drink alcohol and the prince didn’t order drinks either, so Kristel was the only one drinking at our table.
“As I think of it as my second life, my desire to live without regrets has grown. That’s why I’ve been rude to my dear ones at a late hour.”
“It’s okay, Princess Christel. I understand.”
Sir Elizabeth answered sweetly, and lightly slammed her juice glass against Kristel’s beer glass.
Kristel wanted to get drunk, but on the other hand, her story touched me, and a bitter laugh came out.
To the ears of the other three, her words would be heard as the remarks of someone who had been ill for a long time.
But I was aware of Kristel’s circumstances.
‘There are many things I want to do’, ‘I want to live a second life with no regrets’.
It was a thought that would have been more than enough for a woman who threw her resignation letter and was possessed by another world.
I guessed that it would move with such a ‘motif’, but for the main character, that was a reality.
I know this is fiction, but for Kristel, this was a new opportunity.
“It’s cool and nice to go up north in the summer. later together,”
“Wow, the fee is until midnight today!”
Startle. The voice of a hoarse man broke through the whispers of Sir Elizabeth.

Our heads naturally turned to one side.
The noisy street pub became quiet in an instant.
“That’s because I had to pay off debts elsewhere.”
“debt? So, is it not a debt to the inn? Do you know that ‘Le Sipre’ is Hogu?”
A man who looked like a thug by anyone’s eyes kicked a wooden table.
– Geckoung!
The glass shattered, and food left behind by the guests spilled on the floor.
I frowned. That man just mentioned the inn we were staying at.
“Mr. Felix, why are you doing this when you have guests?”
Then someone stopped in front of the owner of the tavern. I looked at him and widened my eyes.
It was Maurice, the innkeeper, whom I had used healing powers for hours before.
The thug also recognized him and killed the momentum a bit.
“Move. He got out like this last month.”
“I’ll tell my aunt.”
“you······.”
The thug looked at Morris with a very frustrated face.
I started thinking about who Maurice’s ‘aunt’ would be. no way······.
“Are you going to step back and take over the inn? Will you take over the village?”
“I don’t think so.”
“It’s pitiful. I don’t even know about the opportunity to become a lord on the country floor.”
The thug spit on the floor, pointed at the tavern owner behind Morris and walked away to another stall.
It seems to have left some kind of warning.
When the situation was over, the tavern began to re-energize little by little.
I turned my eyes back and looked at the group.
“Oh my gosh······.”
Canael had a shocked face when he saw the harsh sight.
Sir Elizabeth was also looking at the prince with a hard face.
“Sir, what are you going to do?”
“·················ogue.”
The prince’s eyes darkened in thought. I’ve been careful with my luck.
“I know Maurice. I was the one who intervened earlier. I am an inn employee.”
Then Kristel, who was sitting next to him, got up.
I looked up at her with a serious face. No, wait a minute…
Writer, is the main character smiling?
