019 – Red Flavor #4
“Victor, how are you? Will this chair be good enough?”
Nike looked very happy.
From my point of view, there is no fuss about clearing the stumps of trees that look like there, sweeping, and wiping them.
Do you feel good about having celebrities where you live?
Come to think of it, Nike showed goodwill toward Victoria from the first time they met.
It’s like the general public looking up to celebrities and admiring them.
“Will Miss Victoria like the tea leaves I picked? yes?”
“Don’t be overjoyed, Nike. He’s probably coming to harm us. I’m sure he’ll try to catch the pod and give it a penalty.”
“Ah, please… .”
Actually, I wasn’t too sure.
Still, one thing must be made clear.
“Nike, I’ll tell you in advance, but we must keep our promise.”
Nike and I are first of all in a contractual relationship.
If it’s revealed that I’m having an affair is a lie, there will be a lot of uproar.
Perhaps because he was warned several times, Nike spoke with a confident attitude.
“I know, you mean to keep it a secret? As we kissed before… !”
“What kiss?”
“Ugh, rain, Miss Victoria!”
Like a squirrel meeting a cat, Nike Mokey Mokey is startled.
The one who split the bush and appeared was Victoria Arclight, wearing a white coat, the symbol of student council officers, over her shoulders. There is also a scarlet armband with ‘Inspection’ written on the shoulder.
But that kind of thing was good.
Haven’t you heard what we just talked about?
If you heard it, from where to where?
Victoria asked when I was nervous.
“Miss Mokey Mokey, who kissed you?”
“That, that… . With me, that, with Victor?”
“what?”
Victoria seemed in a very bad mood for some reason.
“Victor, is that for real?”
“… … .”
Me Seungri Ha and Viktor. What they both have in common is that it was difficult to even hold a woman’s hand. It’s a kiss Do I have to lie like this?
But you have to.
Otherwise, the story just gets more complicated.
“Yes.”
Thanks to the eccentric «Steel», I was able to answer casually, but my stomach felt like it was turning over.
But now, rather than that, the problem was that he lied about me and Nike kissing.
“I mean the two of you kissed. huh, i didn’t know at all. I must have. I am a stupid woman who knows nothing.”
“No one said I was a stupid woman.”
Lies are like debt.
If you keep doing it, the interest will increase and someday it will collapse.
The best thing is not to create a situation where you will lie.
Today, somehow, I’m sending this Victoriaka back early!
* * *
new semester.
spring.
But the evening had not yet left the end of winter.
Especially in the forest, night came early.
Now, as more students are looking for the “Spice Pool”, the night forest is also rather noisy. Still, the fact that it was cold did not change.
Fire.
When I lit a bonfire, I put the dry firewood that Nike had prepared into the flame to increase the strength.
bubbling.
I boiled water.
“Nike, prepare the ingredients soon.”
“here!”
Then, he put the mushrooms and berries that Nike had prepared together and stirred them with a ladle as if stir-frying them around.
Pyorolong-!
“done! Cooking was successfully completed!」
「Mixed Mushroom Hotpot: The taste and effect are quite good. I feel like I’m getting healthier when I eat. I think it would be nice to add something more… ?”
It’s a decent tier 3 dish that restores a small amount of HP and makes you resistant to cold.
Used to warm the body and fill the stomach.
After receiving her share of the hot pot, Victoria asked.
“Are you not eating that soup or bulgogi?”
“Because it sells. It’s shabby compared to the tier 1 dishes on sale, but it’s delicious in its own right. If you’re not satisfied, go back quickly.”
“I am not complaining.”
Meals were simple and frugal.
The feeling of focusing only on ‘eating’.
It was extravagant about the unexpected.
Neither I nor Nike were accustomed to eating silently, so there was significantly less conversation. Perhaps feeling awkward there, Victoria spoke first.
“You guys seem very familiar with this situation, don’t they?”
Nike responded to this.
“Because it’s been a week!”
It’s been about a week since I started sleeping outside.
I wonder if it has already happened
Too much happened in between.
In terms of experience, it feels like a full month has passed.
“So, are the inspections over now?”
“There is nothing wrong. Hygiene is also maintained in a clean manner.”
“Who do you think I am? From material storage to handling, everything is thoroughly managed.”
“… … .”
It was Victoriaka who kept her mouth shut.
Are they trying to see if there is something to scrape off the pod?
go back soon
“It’s bedtime soon, so why don’t you stop going back to your dorm, Victoria?”
“… Victor, are you trying to send me back?”
That’s because I have to keep lying when you’re there.
It was the same reason Enio hated coming here.
However, Victoria seemed to have misunderstood something.
“Is this what you want to be alone like that?”
“Nothing like that—”
“Rather than that, how are you guys sleeping? Viktor, you said you didn’t go anywhere after being expelled from the dorm?”
“If you want to sleep, isn’t there a sleeping bag here?”
I pointed to the sleeping bag by the campfire.
Then, Victoria is shocked.
“Now, you two are sleeping together? Did I understand it right?”
“We don’t sleep together. Nike sleeps in the cabin.”
“That, that’s it!”
what is that
How big is the difference with and without a roof?
Anyway, a girl who grew up beautifully.
But sleeping outside because I have no money and no home is my fault.
can’t blame anyone
It would be advantageous to quickly supply and supply Renée and rent it for a long time, even if it is a cheap inn.
“Shameless. completely… !”
However, it was clear that Victoria had misunderstood something.
“You guys, you’re not doing anything against the rules, are you?”
“What is against the rules?”
“Yeah… . The impure between the sexes… .”
It was Victorica who was angry and blushed. It’s because it’s a white face, so it’s obvious.
Is it my imagination that I seem to have a higher fever than when I ate spring sauce bulgogi at lunch earlier?
Victorica, who was hesitant about something, shouted out loud, wondering if she was trying to gloss over the situation or if she couldn’t stand it.
“I’m going to sleep here too! Because I have a duty as an executive to watch what you guys do!”
“That doesn’t matter, but there is no blanket for you.”
* * *
“hehehehe.”
Nike was in a good mood.
Even while brushing my teeth, I hum to the point.
The reason is nothing.
It was because Victoria Arcwright, who was so famous that everyone in Ludens didn’t know, had stayed overnight at her cabin.
“how? Miss Victoria, isn’t it narrow? I put some more straw on the floor!”
“… yes. It’s better than you think.”
Nike hadn’t had any friends for a long time after entering this Ludens, so it felt great to sleep under the same roof with someone else.
They brush their teeth in a nearby stream, wear pajamas made from rabbit skin, and lie down on the same blanket.
sniff sniff.
Victoria, lying next to him, smelled very good.
soap? what kind of soap is it?
‘It must be an amazing soap that I’ve never even imagined. Is it a soap that costs about 50,000 Renae each?’
Everything in Victoria sparkled.
Silver hair, golden eyes, clothes and toes.
The wand is also shiny.
“What is that wand?”
“This… .”
Victoria raised the cane she was holding in her arms.
“This is the staff of the Arkwright family. It’s just a stick to me now. If the attack ability is B+ grade… No, why do I have to tell you this?”
Victoria was angry.
My ex-fiancé’s ex-fiancé’s mistress.
What’s the point of telling a guy like that straight away?
‘He didn’t tell me either.’
Maybe that’s why, inside, something that could be called grumpy sprang up.
“Miss Mokey Mokey, when and where did you first meet Victor? me. I think you deserve a question like this.”
“me? My first time in this forest a few days before school started… .”
Nike shuts up with an eup. It almost caught me that I hadn’t seen Viktor for less than a week.
“Yeah, the start of school we’re talking about here was last year. Not this year.”
“yes? So, you’ve been hiding your relationship with Viktor from me for a year. Aren’t you guys completely brazen?”
“… uh… runga.”
It was Nike who smiled and laughed.
‘Because Victoria knows that I am Victor’s mistress… . It’s only natural that you hate me… .’
I’m going through an amazing thing that I sleep with Victorica, who everyone admires, and like friends. That Victorica is hating Nike herself because of her lies.
‘I didn’t ask for details. Why did Viktor break up with a girl like this?’
idol of all.
Some people make reservations to have lunch together.
Viktor, who had broken off his engagement with such a woman, was insane when Nike saw him.
‘It’s not like I’m in a situation where I can tell others that I’m playing the tune with such a Viktor… .’
How did it happen?
Then someone pinched the pot-flank.
“Ah!”
“Are you ignoring me right now?”
“Uh, what did you say?”
“Victor and you too. Just the two of us… , done. Anyway I’m worried about you I wonder if I will be able to withstand the resentment of Arcwright.”
“Arklight’s resentment?”
At Nike’s question, Victoria slowly raised her upper body.
“Are you pretending not to know, or do you really not know? You are the cause of the breakup. Do you know how much damage the Arkwright family has caused because of you guys?”
loss!
Nike was horrified by the story.
A loss is a debt.
debt that must be repaid.
When she felt dizzy and was about to faint, Victoria asked incessantly.
“Miss Mokey Mokey. Are you really confident? The confidence to turn the world into an enemy for the sake of love.”
“Ugh… .”
“It’s fine even now, so give up on Viktor. If it’s now, I might still be able to get it back. Of course, Viktor should be sent back to the Arkwright family to be punished appropriately.”
It wouldn’t be a big deal if you said it was a punishment.
It’s like being banned from going out for a month.
Or wouldn’t a year of chores be enough?
‘Let me run my own errands. Now I have to cook a lot.’
While Victoria was thinking about that, Nike asked in a quiet voice.
“… Is Miss Victoria okay with that?”
“Are you okay with that?”
“I’m asking if it’s okay to reattach the marriage relationship with Viktor like that.”
“what?”
“Does Miss Victoria like Victor?”
Victoria was embarrassed that the question came back to her. I didn’t see it that way, but Nike Mokey Mokey in Rash Guard Forest was a tougher kid than I thought.
“Do you like it? It’s a marriage arranged by the family. Those feelings don’t matter. Miss Mokey Mokey, you don’t know.”
Once you pass it in moderation.
Do you like Victor?
I never thought about it.
“Marrying someone you don’t even like… . I’m not sure.”
Victoria suddenly became curious about Nike’s story.
‘What if the engagement had continued? Did you just want to get married? Then hold hands, kiss, and then… .’
For some reason, the angry face heats up.
Then he suddenly remembered that the girl lying next to him and Viktor had done something impure, and he became angry.
“Come to think of it, you guys kissed?”
“Yes! It was!”
“when? where? how?”
“that’s… . It must be in front of this cabin. It was daytime. The flowers were in full bloom.”
“yes? what flower?”
“Fairy Flowers… ? In fact, I don’t even know! At that time, he was out of his mind!”
“Huh, right? If it was a fairy flower, it would have been autumn.”
“Yes! It was a cool fall.”
Nike realized too late that sleeping with the celebrity Victoria wasn’t all that fun. I was very anxious to keep lying.
Victoria didn’t ask any more questions about whether Nike’s heart had reached her.
Nike thinks, “I’m glad.”
But Victoria didn’t just keep her mouth shut.
When the hunter holds his breath, it is time to induce the prey’s vigilance and attack.
“Fairy flowers – Fairy flowers are flowers that bloom only in spring. Miss Mokey Mokey, you are lying to me right now.”
“… oh… !!!”
