Chapter.40 Cooking Competition

Me and Licent answered at the same time. Rurin rubbed her sleepy eyes while kicking my back and landing on the ground.

“Lurin?”

Plus, his eyes are weird. The look in his eyes was unusual.

“What do you mean by hand greeting?”

“I said it was a kiss. “I heard it!”

“Wait a minute.”

Her condition was so strange that she began to tremble, so she grabbed Lurin’s shoulder and shouted.

“This is a kiss on the hand. A kiss on the hand is a normal greeting. You also do it when you show your respect. Even if it’s the same kiss, the meaning is completely different? ah! Yes, it’s the same as the ring. “Unlike a bracelet or something like that, when the opposite sex gives a ring as a gift, there is a meaning of love in it.”

“… … Eh?”

Lurin’s expression relaxed at that moment. The strange eyes also returned to normal.

“is it so. What am I doing! “My favorite thing is wizards!”

Licent must have realized what Lulin had misunderstood, so he rushed over and grabbed Lulin’s hand and gave her a wooing look, but Lulin immediately shook him off.

“Now, don’t hold on! I don’t like you you you you I am!”

Lurin spun around and climbed onto my back again and started to tease me on my back.

What on earth?

“that… It was a car… .”

Licent smiled and turned his back, as if he had no regrets anymore.

“Then I’m really going!”

He says that and starts running. Of course, a resent is a rescent.

Not long after, I fell over again.

oh my.

Since I fell so often, I realized that I didn’t get hurt that badly, probably because I instinctively used falling techniques. That part was rather amazing.

***

That night, after everything was over and I returned to Rare.

After washing up, I sat on the bed and read a book when Rurin came up to me and stuck her head in.

“Have you washed everything already?”

Sticking your head in means asking to be wiped.

I dried Rurin’s hair like always.

“Anyway, that guy is bold. “You kissed me first.”

“what? “What are you talking about all of a sudden?”

“That human from earlier!”

“ah… Resent? “You kissed my palm?”

“I am… I still can’t do anything first! “I failed like a fool the day before yesterday!”

“So what on earth did that failure mean? “I wish you could please explain.”

“Ugh. “That’s not possible.”

“Well, okay. Anyway, that palm kiss means respect. Do not misunderstand. There is no meaning to love. If it contains the meaning of love, it should be done with the lips. “On the lips.”

“I understood it earlier. that! I found out recently. “Because you are also a human, not only dragons but also humans are enemies.”

“What kind of enemy is this? Enemies of what?”

I held Lulin’s hand. Then he gently lifted it up and kissed the back and palm of his hand.

“Ha don’t do it! I don’t like the meaning of respect. “All I need is love!”

“No, you should try it too.”

I gently held out my hand. Ricent, who had kissed my palm earlier, was saying it was amazing, so I meant to do the same.

“Huh? Me in your hands? I’m First?”

“I don’t know what first means, but try it.”

Rurin hesitates slightly and takes my hand while looking at me.

“No.”

“What what what what what! I’m going to try it! “It’s perfect for experimentation.”

“Oh, it’s not like you say it with your hands. We need to develop more than Rescent. ruler. Try kissing me. On my lips. “If you’re going to emphasize first, come to think of it, you’ve never kissed me first, right?”

“There was this! It’s because I failed… .”

“what? If that’s the case, why should I worry about the failure from earlier… But when? “I don’t remember?”

“There is something like that. “You don’t have to know.”

“I understand, so instead of pouting and pouting, kiss me here. For now, I will just wait patiently. “Lurin!”

“Are you serious? Try it… So easy? Another me said. There is some condition… So, I should only do something when you make a cute and funny expression! First thing to do! It’s only possible in that case, so you’ll like it… “That’s right!”

“what? What does that mean? I feel like I’m saying the same thing over and over again, so please explain. “Did you even have a dream?”

“That guy is an idiot after all.”

I don’t know.

Continue to avoid talking. What did I see in my dream that made me do that?

I can’t help it.

I don’t know what it is, but shouldn’t I let the other Lulin in that dream win?

“I don’t know, Lurin. Since you are also you, isn’t it true that you don’t know much? “Because I’m a fool when it comes to love.”

“Ugh. Not like that! I’m me. No matter what anyone says, I like you… .”

Lurin shouted like that and closed her eyes. Then he grabbed my face and headbutted me hard.

It was a lip smacking. Lip smacking.

A lip smacking that can never be considered a deep kiss.

Lurin got angry and started headbutting and running wild.

“Oooooh! sun… Did it! I finally did it! “Ugh, this is amazing!”

okay. Their lips hit each other. sick.

This is what you did?

My teeth hurt. Lulin started running around everywhere, wondering what was so good about it.

His face was red and his ears were red and red.

I still don’t know what it is, but I like it so much that it doesn’t really matter.

Good is good.

Chapter.41 Oblivion

Great Deeran. Commonly known as Count Gray.

That is the full name of Gray Boy, the Lord of Gray.

He is 18 years old.

Although he became a lord at a young age, Gray City was currently developing more than any other city in the empire.

In particular, the biggest characteristic of Gray City is that the level of absurdity is considerably less compared to other cities.

In other words, this means that the risk of people encountering absurd things is very low compared to other cities.

It was because of Great Deerran’s city management policy.

The Gray boy has always had a desire to become a good lord since he was a snotty child, and even now that he is approaching adulthood, that feeling has not changed.

That desire has never changed.

Great Deerran was working hard today as well.

I am processing various documents piled up in the study. Since the processed documents needed to be stamped, Grayk hurriedly opened the drawer.

But when I tried to take out the seal, I stopped.

That’s because I suddenly noticed a small round silver plate on one side of the drawer.

It was like a soldier’s dog tag, with a name written on it.

A plate that only says

‘Sienna’ .

Looking at the name written on the small board he took out after a long time, Grayk recalled a faint memory.

***

Was it when Great Deeran had just turned 10?

As the Gray boy walked around the house, he found a girl being mistreated by children of the same age.

“What are they doing!”

As the boy approached, the boys who had been bullying the girl shook their heads in surprise.

The boys were the sons of a baron belonging to the Earl of Gray.

It was impossible for a baron to confront a count. That’s why the boys who were harassing the girl ran away at one word from Grace.

An aristocratic society means learning about the caste system from a young age.

Therefore, I knew very well that I had to obey the count family. However, on the contrary, the one the boys were bullying, perhaps because they had the mistaken perception that they could treat commoners and servants roughly, was the daughter of one of the maids working at the count’s house.

“are you okay?”

“Four four!”

To the Gray boy’s question, the girl still did not let down her guard and answered with a frightened look on her face. His head had been torn so hard that his hair fell all over the floor.

“hair… .”

Grake picked up the hair one by one and said to the girl. As the girl was crying, the Gray boy just wanted to comfort the girl who was being bullied, so he held out his hair and thought about what to say, and his father’s instructions came to mind.

‘When you have something to say, you have to be sincere. The truth before your eyes.’

So the boy spoke to the girl with the sincerity he felt.

“It’s a pretty color. hair.”

“Wow, yes, yes…” ? “Really?”

The girl who was crying relaxed her guard a little at those words. It was my first time receiving a compliment about my hair color or anything else, so it didn’t feel bad at all.

The girl accepted her hair. However, I never thought of it as a pretty color, so I answered honestly to the Gray boy.

“It’s not pretty… ? Everyone says gorgeous blonde hair is pretty, but this color is… .”

“It’s not? I think it’s pretty! That’s right! “It’s a pretty color to me!”

The girl’s hair is not blonde. It was blonde, but it was an orange color.

In this era, pretty hair color referred to brilliant blonde hair, as the girl said. So what the girl said was completely normal, but Gray thought that it was a really pretty color, so she didn’t give up on what she meant.

“It’s not pretty… weird.”

The girl tilted her head again. Perhaps because of that question, my tears were already welling up.

“Nothing strange. “You are Leanne’s daughter, right?”

“yes. that’s right.”

“Don’t be discouraged even if they bully you. There is no law that says you have to suffer harassment just because you are a maid. It doesn’t make sense to be punished if you didn’t do anything wrong, right? My father said that no matter how noble you are, harassing people for no reason is a mean thing! I told you to always be honest! And it was also in history books. It’s a book called The Founding History of the Empire, and it’s my favorite… .”

The Gray boy started talking non-stop. As the girl looked at Gray like that, she thought that he was an amazing nobleman. That was the girl’s first impression of Gray.

And after that, the Gray boy would often talk to the girl.

Whenever the boy was bullied by other noble boys out of sight, the Gray boy appeared like a hero and helped the girl.

Since the girl was younger, each time she thought of the Gray boy as being different from other nobles, she began to open her mind little by little.

Not a single person, including other employees’ families, her mother’s colleagues, or other nobles, takes care of the girl. On the contrary, if she didn’t learn simple household chores properly, she was prone to mistreating her, so little by little, time with the boy who was the only one who treated her well began to become the most awaited time of the day.

Then one day.

The girl was shocked to discover that the ceramics decorated on the second floor of the mansion were broken.

I don’t know who did it, but it was clear that something big had happened. This is because, while learning the job, I was tired of hearing that the ceramics were the Count’s favorite and that I had to be careful.

And there were familiar boys standing in front of the pottery. These are the boys who always bully them.
