chapter 78
78 – IF Gaiden 2: A prize for polite children (2)
“Does this or that suit you, Mr. Ellie? Would you like to choose?”
Make sure to read from noble mtl dot com
Really,
“Let’s see, Mr. Felter? Come over here.”
sincerely,
“Yeah, it suits me well. Give me this one, and this one…”
Are you an idiot? Are you stupid? Don’t you notice?
With someone who was almost a lover by her side, and caring so much about another woman, that is, me.
Hey, I bet no woman understands when her lover leaves her alone to care about someone else.
I heard that these days, human women are becoming more and more jealous and obsessive,
I don’t understand why you’re doing that to me, leaving behind the person you’ve already seen until the end.
Then again, I can’t stand it when you’re dragged home and made to see me like that in front of me.
No, it’s not that I can’t stand it in that sense.
Even with a slap on the cheek, I have to fix that rotten head.
Excitedly, while he was away to try out other clothes for a while, I hurriedly ran to Michelle’s side.
“That, that… Michelle-sama. Apparently, the master…”
“Who is the master?”
Oh, it’s ruined.
I guess it’s already a limit.
Look at the strength in your hands…
“That, that’s it… I guess I have to do something about it…?”
Oh really, why did I…
I wanted to get away somehow, I wanted to get away, I wanted to get out of the relationship quietly…
She fell in love with someone who didn’t know why she boiled and ate soup.
Why is it that a person who has no sense of that sort of thing even falls for a nice guy and is bewitched by me?
…Still, you have to stay alert.
There are things you can do and there are things you can’t do.
What am I going to do for someone who already has a girlfriend?
Somehow, it would be right to choose my own clothes, and let Michelle capture the owner who flutters in excitement like that.
therefore –
“Please wait.”
Oh, I hate it.
I just want to receive all the favors of the owner naturally,
I want to be pampered in your arms…!
You must be happy, you must be warm…
But what if you can’t?
If you do that, you will end up committing a crime against Michelle-sama.
Stealing someone else’s lover, I can’t do that.
It’s so easy to imagine how heartbreaking and angry it must be.
Still, I have to do what I have to do.
“master.”
“Oh, that’s great. Do you want to see this?”
A white cloth with a neatly decorated cloak with a black string…
ah…
no…!
“I-I’ll try this, okay? You’ve already bought a lot, oh, that’s right! Michelle, Michelle-sama seems to have found something… You better go, hurry!”
I hurriedly managed to pull myself away from my master before it reached me and touched the straps and loops that held the cloak around me.
Barely, huh? Did I just barely resist the urge to throw myself into his arms?
So, it’s something I can proudly say is a great thing.
You won’t understand until you face it, for sure.
The warmth and warm smile he exudes,
And ‘unawareness’ that will not be enough no matter how many times you repeat it.
There’s nothing like bewitching women, and that’s what makes women angry.
Because nothing makes a woman more anxious than a man who is possessed by this woman and that woman.
But bewitched, that’s probably the biggest problem for me.
The same goes for Michelle.
I have already become one of those who have come to know how wonderful the master is.
And maybe, I don’t think there’s anyone better than this… maybe.
Even if I do find, no, can I find someone else in my situation?
“Ummm…”
The cloak also looks good on me. It’s no wonder I like sharp eyes… Ah, really…
I think I dropped it well though.
Seeing Michelle grabbing her master’s arm so hard that her face distorted and whispering something into her ear made me feel that way even more.
If you think like this, it shouldn’t be, but I don’t know if it’s a good thing.
If you’re a man who has been wagging his tail here and there for a long time, he’ll come to his senses only after he’s punished like that.
Hold on, in the meantime… how much does this cloak cost –
My God, no, this isn’t it,
Master, are you crazy?
Are you out of your mind?
What kind of clothes did you put in your shopping cart – no –
“I’m really sorry, but would it be okay if I chose other clothes…?”
I gave the clerk a bag of well-folded clothes, and hurriedly ran to the owner, who flinched in a dead end in the corner of the store, and Michelle, who was silently venting her anger.
Something was strange. I’m glad I felt that I was wrong even if it was completely wrong.
And it will be of some help to the owner as well.
If this amount of money went out, I’m sure I wouldn’t have been safe, but the owner would have been crushed too.
I need to show you right away.
As I got closer to the two of them, the air was getting thicker and heavier.
And the sounds, yes, weren’t all that pleasant.
“Really, do you flutter like that when you’re excited? You didn’t do that when you went shopping for clothes on the first day with me. Do you like that kid more than me? Huh?”
“It’s not like that-“
“No, of course! Would you even think of having an affair with the innocent you? It’s just that he was cute and ran away without thinking. But, I don’t even like that.
You should see me, you
Not another woman, me.
What will I become if I protect you by staying by your side?
What am I who gave you everything, to you, yes?”
Ah… Every word has a stone in it.
Hearing scolding from such a person is really painful.
But first, I need to calm you two down. If you push on like this, it will definitely backfire…
“Well, Master, I really appreciate the favor, but I can’t get this much!”
The sudden boom of the voice startled them both, and they turned their eyes to me.
Michelle, who hadn’t completely sorted out her emotions yet, almost glared at me.
“Excuse me, Michelle…”
So as soon as I spoke, I immediately turned my head and bowed politely.
Then, once again, he turned to his master and spoke firmly.
“It’s wrong to spend so much money on the second slave, master…! It’s true that Michelle-nim should be treated better in terms of rank and relationship.”
You can’t say outright, ‘If you buy me something like this, Michelle will tear me to pieces and hang me in front of the door’.
Of course, he would do anything worse than that, but…
“I also need to rest more than anything, and the clothes I have to wear outside like this, kek, clothes, uh – kolok, kok!”
Did I use my neck too hard, my throat… itches – Ouch…!
“Collock, Coke, Coke Coke!”
As I continued to cough, it was only then that I felt the air around me loosen up a bit.
“Mr. Felter, are you okay?”
The one who hurriedly supports my face and makes sure there is nothing wrong with me–
Are you Michelle?
It’s strange, why is Michelle watching over me?
Oh, maybe not so strange…
Since you have to separate me from my master, the only way is to see it for yourself.
By the way, I shouldn’t be like this, but I don’t know if it’s a little… sorry.
Still, it would have been nice if I could feel the master’s touch a little more.
The owner seemed a little flustered, but he only flinched – he didn’t even think to move.
That must be correct. Is it fair to say that a man with a partner cares about another woman?
Seeing how things are going, I don’t know if I’ve succeeded.
Master seems to have figured out how to behave a little bit right though.
“I’m, heck, I’m fine. Now, whoa… I’m fine now. Thank you for your concern…”
I calmed down and took a deep breath while holding the hand that Michelle gave me.
Then my hand snapped and dragged me away…
Why is this person hugging me?
“It was very difficult, Shani?”
Uh, why is this person’s arms so warm?
Wasn’t he just staring at me coldly?
But, but it seems like that one word changes everything.
It’s warm.
It’s soft.
I’m blown away.
“I, that, that, I-“
However, once startled, the heart is not easily calmed down.
It’s something that’s been relaxed and you don’t know when to be nervous again.
Just like her dad, who was kind yesterday, became a tyrant today, she might be too…
“I know, it’s okay. You can lean on it for a while. Don’t push yourself too hard. You’re still young.”
Pat, Pat,
The touch that gently pats the back,
As if to be relieved, the hand slowly sweeping the back,
Why, like this –
“I, I, ah, Michelle…!”
“Sister, you can call me Ellie, Shani.”
I do not know. I can’t even really understand what’s going on.
I think everything is messed up.
Are you sure you didn’t hate me? Weren’t you trying to scare me?
Why are you so nice to me, Michelle?
The comfort my parents didn’t give me, why do you, and no one else, give it to you?
Weird. I’m confused. It gets complicated.
But would you like to hold me in your arms for a while, Miss… Ellie?
Please comfort me a little more.
I… I worked hard…
I… it was very difficult.
