Salon (2)

Everyone’s eyes are on me.

Jessica looking at me with a confused expression and Victor looking at me with resentment.

And the maids who had their heads bowed like a folding screen behind Jessica looked up and looked at me in disbelief.

Well, it’s natural to get such a reaction when you suddenly ask such a question, but honestly, isn’t it curious?

It’s not curly hair, and there’s no way that’s not doing anything, so the maid over there must have helped set it up since morning.

No, there’s no way one person can set up such a grandiose hair in a short time, so there must have been several of me rushing in.

Just imagine, Jessica, who is not awake, and the maid, who clings to her side and desperately sets her hair.

It’s not just setting, it’s carefully setting the bun’s head angle and winding degree one by one.

When I imagined a maid who would move her body violently to get her hair messed up or take a shower and sigh at the thought of setting it up again, every time she took a shower, a smirk came out involuntarily.

“… What’s so funny?”

Was he the type of person who couldn’t stand being ridiculed at the subject of making fun of others?

I frowned slightly, so that the corners of my mouth were raised slightly.

“… I was just nervous, so I smiled without realizing it.”

“hahaha! This guy has a habit of smiling when he’s nervous! I never made fun of Young-ae, so please forgive me!”

“… huh.”

With the addition of Victor’s supplement, Jessica turned her head to see if my rudeness had gone behind the acceptable minimum.

“I’m speaking for you, but it’s best to avoid doing anything that could be misleading.”

“Keep in mind.”

“Since Young-ae said so, this friend must have engraved it in his heart. But in which department Young-ae-nim… .”

To alleviate this tense atmosphere even a little, Victor turned the topic.

“… … It’s a knight department.”

“I am from the Department of Magic! I wanted to get the honor of being in the same department as Young-ae, but it’s a pity!”

“… is that so. By the way, you… ?”

Viktor’s obvious father-in-law skipped it, and Jessica asked me a question.

Then I said, stroking the katana that was always with me as if it were my own body.

“Same Knight Department.”

“… The weapon is a katana. Do you know what weapon I use?”

What the hell is this guy talking about all of a sudden?

You’re not wearing anything to your waist like me, and you don’t have anything to reason about, so what do you mean?

Victor opened his mouth to see if he knew what it was, and tried to teach me the answer, but unfortunately I can’t figure it out.

I thought I would not have said something like that without thinking, so I carefully observed Jessica and after a while I opened my mouth.

“Perhaps… drill?”

“… … Are you arguing?”

uh, wasn’t it?

The drill isn’t quite as powerful as the katana, but it’s one of the most powerful weapons… .

As Jessica’s hand, holding the fan, heard the sound of the fan being crushed, Viktor intervened again and said.

“Hey, I guess I made a mistake while joking to lighten the mood a bit! No matter how wrong it is! If you say something like that, write it! Apologize quickly!”

“sorry.”

With a deep sigh, Jessica told us whether my sincere apology worked.

“… … hahaha, if we’re in the same department of knights, even if we’re in different classes, there will be days when we’ll meet each other because it’s Dalian. You two, just go away.”

At Jessica’s cold gaze, Victor nodded his head again and again.

“Yes! yes! Then we will excuse you!”

With that said, Victor grabbed my arm and pulled me out of the room.

This guy has more power than I thought for a mage department that specializes in magic.

I got out of the room and went down to the first floor, but Victor didn’t stop and took me to the back of the small villa.

And seeing that no one was there, Victor raised his voice a little and said to me.

“you you… Why did you just do that?! Why did you do such a thing?!”

“I was asked to ask, so I just asked what… . And to be honest, weren’t you a little curious about that bun head too?”

“roll? what the hell are you talking about… .”

Viktor, who literally didn’t understand, tilted his head and made a displeased expression.

“Jessica Young-ae’s hair is a bit old-fashioned, but it wouldn’t be that strange… .”

“Ancient?”

In this world, Ian Bar Toura has lived as a human for 20 years, but this is the first time that he has strongly recognized that this is not Earth as it is today.

If that’s an old-fashioned head, is soft ice cream a traditional royal dish eaten by kings?

“anyway!! Now don’t ever do that! Even thinking of Mrs. Tou in her hometown, absolutely!! got it?!”

“Okay, but what did that bitch mean by guessing the weapon earlier?”

“That year… Count vongrind is a prestigious family that has produced capable military officers from generation to generation.”

The founder of the Fongrind family is said to be a mercenary, a warrior who defeated numerous enemies with a single hammer and carved his name into history.

Like all families that make swordsmanship for a living, the swordsmanship inherited from the ancestors of the Fongrid Road… No, in this case, should it be called dun-tech?

They have trained their blunt skills, and even now, all members of the Fongrind family, or those taught under them, use a blunt weapon like a hammer, and that tradition has continued to this day.

“… I see. So Jessica is the kind of woman with hair that looks like she’s going to wear something like a rapier and goes about killing people with a hammer?”

“Speak like such a killer! I was just born into such a family!”

So, when you say you’ll see me in Dalian earlier, does that mean you’re going to hit my head with a hammer?

“You know, is the current head of the Fongrind family strong?”

“Yeah, it’s definitely not strong. Because there is a rumor that there is no one in the area who can match it.”

“Hmm… .”

“But why? If you usually ask, don’t you ask if Jessica Young-ae is strong?”

“Ah, that’s weak.”

Will it take a minute to fight?

It wasn’t to the point of being called a janchaeng, but it didn’t feel strong enough either.

He could defeat the robber that Bread had just defeated, but that’s all, he didn’t feel anything special.

Jessica wasn’t interested, but the head of the Fongrind family, who is rumored to be the strongest in the area, got a little interested in him.

“There are some things you don’t know unless you fight yourself, but it won’t be that strong.”

“What did you say… .”

As Victor was just about to question him, he heard a rumbling sound from the hall where everyone was gathered, so he unintentionally looked around the hall.

“What happened?”

“Perhaps it is time to give the present you brought to Young-ae. Come on, let’s go quickly.”

It’s time to give gifts together. It’s not an elementary school birthday party. .

If I had known this would be the case, I would have tossed out a few cultural gift certificates instead of dessert.

When I went to the hall, the guy I was talking about earlier was kneeling on one knee and presenting the necklace to Jessica.

Jessica, who received the necklace, is delighted and exclamations of oh-oh-oh come from all around.

Like greetings, in this case, the high-ranking aristocrats came first, so our turn was still long.

“Ian, I go out and wait for the dessert I ordered to come.”

“Yes, but can I go to the dormitory after giving this present?”

I hoped Victor would just nod, but Victor shook his head and said.

“Next time… There’s a small party around six o’clock. The desserts we brought will come out then.”

“… … Is that so?”

It was a pity that I didn’t go back right away, but I was a little excited to be able to taste a dessert made of 10 katana.

So Victor went out of the villa to wait for the dessert he ordered, and I leaned against the wall and watched the process of presenting the gifts.

At first, there were frequent exclamations of oh-oh, but as the title got lower, Jessica’s reaction became more formal.

Naturally, in proportion to that, the exclamations coming from the hall gradually decreased, and in the end, no one made a sound.

‘Now it’s our turn. Maybe you haven’t come yet?’

I went out with Victor, wondering if something had happened, and Victor was leaning by the door with a disappointed expression on his face.

“What’s up? Have you not arrived yet?”

“No, I arrived, and it was… .”

At the end of the point Victor pointed to, there was a white box placed on the wagon, roughly 1m high.

“I’m going to ask you first, but… ?”

“That’s the dessert we ordered… It’s actually a cake.”

“cake?”

More curious about what was in it than anxiety, I opened the cake box without hesitation and looked inside.

Then, a luxurious six-story cake decorated with golden cream or orange-based fruits that looked sweet was waiting for you.

Looking at the food and looking at it, it was not a gift worth sending to an individual at a place like this.

“It’s not a wedding cake, what… What did you order from that store?”

“… … I ask you to use this money generously to make the best dessert… Hopefully something like this will come… !!”

If the chews have received a lot of money, they will eat some of them.

We of the lower ranks needed to take care of ourselves in order to avoid standing out from the nobles of higher rank.

“Can I just give you this?”

“It can’t be okay!! Everyone will not even understand the subject and will criticize you for bringing something like this! Besides, Young-ae must be angry for ruining the atmosphere of the exchange meeting… .”

“Then it doesn’t matter.”

Viktor, who was half weeping at my words, raised his head and looked at me with eyes wondering what nonsense he was talking about.

“Ian, what the hell are you talking about… .”

“I’ll take responsibility for it, so let’s just take this with us. And whoops… I must have ruined the atmosphere of the exchange a bit.”

Would you mind going to your dad?
