148 – A Midsummer Night’s Dream – (3)

Saksak.

“Ha ha.”

Clearly.

“Haaa.”

Two types of sounds hit the ears in quick succession.

It didn’t bother me, but it bothered me. When I slightly lifted her head and looked at her, there was a blonde woman staring at me with a pouty face as if she was dissatisfied.

She let out a sigh while holding the paper with her handwriting written on it in front of her, but it was also easy to understand that she was staring at me.

I put down my pen and turned to the woman.

“So, even if you say sorry.”

“What are you sorry about?”

Milia Liantour, a blonde woman, answers deftly.

Even so, her hand did not stop writing on the paper.

“You have to tell me what you’re sorry about.”

“Huh?”

“You have to make sure. As a result of pretending to be a shepherd to help Sir Fried’s love affairs, he must have been sorry that he was scolded by Sir Uriad until he was about to cry and had to write a speech. Or is it that I feel sorry for avoiding punishment just because I was the only one who defended the border?”

“…… I’m sorry, really.”

In the end, she put her hands together and apologized.

Milia’s two pupils become the same.

“I didn’t expect that to happen, neither did I.”

The place we are currently at was the barracks of the guards.

And Millia was writing her letter of apology while being weighed down by Yuri Erd’s roar.

No matter how much Lyncia pardoned me for negotiating with Coreld, it was limited to the crime of ruining the banquet at the border of Ho.

Unlike me, Milia threw out the lie that the cult had attacked in a situation where all the nobles were gathered, so she had a lot of storms after that. I can’t believe Milia either, I didn’t expect that she would have that much acting power.

In the end, there’s no way that old friend of Yuriad could be alone.

With the authority of the head of the Guard, she gave a punishment to Milia.

As for the content, a three-month salary cut in addition to nearly dozens of final letters.

Fortunately, Milia was born with a diamond spoon in her mouth, so her pay cut was not severely affected.

“All right.”

Milia finally smiled slightly when I bowed her head in apology, and then she concentrated on writing her speech again.

“Still, where can you help me?”

“This is normal.”

In fact, he even took the punishment for Lyncia and me, but it was too embarrassing to pretend like he didn’t know.

So, three days have passed since the banquet. On a long-awaited holiday, Millia and I were writing a letter of resignation while stuck in the corner of the Guard.

Look outside. The weather was clear.

I made an effort to stop Lynthia from asking me to go on a picnic and came to the guards barracks.

After that incident that day, Lynxia came to me even more intensely, so she felt a bit burdened, and she came to help Milia because she thought it was going well.

“Come to think of it.”

Milia, who was working hard with her hands, spoke up.

“What did the Rusticel duchy say?”

“Well, he was so angry. He said that he sent her a letter using difficult expressions.”

I couldn’t see it myself, but it is said that there were many radical word choices for letters between noble families.

Thanks to that, they had a hard time sending a reply, but Coreld was burning with passion more than anyone else and emphasized the fact that Lyncia had no thoughts about her marriage.

Is a person stupid or loyal?

Well, there was nothing bad about it.

“Still, I’m glad.”

“Why?”

“That Darren, I don’t really like him either.”

As I tilted my head, Milia shrugged her shoulders and explained.

“When she was young, she came to a banquet at High Linx. He courted me there.”

“…… So what did you do?”

“I didn’t do anything.”

“Me?”

When asked, Milia smiled brightly.

“Her father came running with the energy to ram a mana blade through her head.”

“Surely so.”

Honestly, Leonard Liantour, that man. She was quite the daughter-in-law.

“The banquet was to celebrate her sister becoming the youngest Arch Mage. I think she was planning to take advantage of the gap when her sister drew attention to her.”

“You’re clever.”

“It seemed like that kind of person.”

Anyway, I remembered this while talking about Seira.

“By the way, did your sister get any harvest from the ball?”

“I’d rather say the sun will rise in the west tomorrow.”

“Is it a failure?”

“I guess so.”

Millia put her hand to her mouth and giggled, as if imagining Seira trudging back to High Lynx.

I don’t know if those Lianthur sisters are on good terms or not.

Well, I think even Sei will find a good man and live with it. If only she gave up his anti-aging magic.

She was smiling heartily thinking about that, but Milia suddenly started looking at me. She was playing with her pen to hide it, but I could see her holding back.

“Why is that?”

“…… No. It’s nothing.”

“Huh?”

The wiggling fingers stand out strangely.

In the end, Milia let out a short breath and spoke.

“I was wondering if something happened with His Majesty that day. You seem a little closer lately.”

“…… Hmm.”

I was troubled.

To tell the truth, I was afraid of the storm that followed.

I don’t think Millia is going to be lighthearted, but if the fact that Lyncia proposed her marriage should spread throughout the imperial palace…….

‘Yes. That doesn’t work.’

I said after organizing my thoughts.

“I just enjoyed a little night out. I didn’t do anything different.”

“…… Is that so?”

Milia still gave me a suspicious look, but she didn’t question her further than that.

She rather relaxed her mouth as if she was a little relieved, and she began to focus on her smile.

I also quietly filled in the blanks of the letter, and the work that started in the morning ended around sunset.

“Ugh.”

I massaged her tingling hands.

Even for Fried’s body, writing for almost eight hours was beyond his strength.

Millia also turned her wrists as if she was tired.

“End…… It happened.”

“Sure.”

“Lord Uriard would forgive me for this level of effort. Thanks to Lord Fried’s help, it was over quickly.”

“It was the right thing to do.”

I put the papers in order and put the chair in.

I was about to stand up, but Millia was staring at me.

“Why again this time? Could it be that there are still documents left to write down?”

“No. That’s not it. Umm…….”

Milia seemed to have made up her mind after thinking about it for a while. She cleared her throat and then spoke her words.

“You said you would pay me back the other day.”

“…… Oh, it was.”

“I was wondering if I could get it now.”

“Now?”

Milia nodded her head as I twisted her head.

“There was a place I wanted to go to, but it’s a bit like going alone. Won’t you accompany me?”

“…… Where do you want to go?”

Is it difficult to go alone?

After thinking for a moment, I came up with a plausible reasoning.

“Are you going to the underground water canal?”

“Do you think I am like Sir Fried?”

A sharp answer came right back.

Certainly that’s the case too.

In the end, I gave up thinking and nodded. Anyway, today is a holiday. I told Lyncia that I was going to be arriving late, so it wouldn’t matter.

“Okay. Let’s go.”

Milia smiled brightly at those words.

“So, where are you going?”

“…… Please follow me.”

Along the way, Milia grabbed my hand and strode out of her barracks.

An hour later.

“Did you really mean to wear a suit to come here?”

I was dumbfounded and said.

My attire now is exactly the same as at the ball. Milia: She asked me to dress up and come out, so I wanted to go somewhere important, but the place she brought me to was a really unexpected place.

Dazedly, he raised his head and looked at the signboard.

Signs written in the imperial language.

“…… What are you talking about Bakery…….”

If you read it roughly, it was like that.

“Milia, isn’t this just a bakery?”

“It’s not a bakery, it’s a bakery. Besides, it’s not just a bakery. It is the most famous store in the empire.”

Milia glares at me.

I decided to keep my mouth shut because I noticed that he was telling me not to show off as a country boy.

Look around instead. It was definitely a store on a posh upper-class street, but it was a standout among them. It seems to be popular, and the inside is made up of phosphoric acid.

Well, is it like a SNS restaurant? Or is it like Seongsimdang?

“So why is it so hard to come here alone? Isn’t it just an expensive bakery?”

“…… It’s kind of like coming to a place like this as a woman alone. And stores like this usually require an escort. It’s expensive to go in alone and buy snacks, and it’s easy to hear strange noises at a social church if you’re noticed by a woman from another noble family. Her sister will be excited and try to make fun of her.”

“Is that so?”

“That’s it.”

It’s also inconvenient.

I know the world of women, but I don’t know.

The way she was dressed now was also well-dressed. In fact, it was almost the first time she had ever seen Milia in a dress, so she inadvertently lost her gaze.

Milia pointed to the entrance of her lively, whether or not she was aware of my agony.

Anyway, it seems that the wind has blown up.

I have never seen Milia play to her heart’s content since she possessed this world. She’ll need her recharge time too.

“Sir Fried, there is no reason to be tired already. There are still many places to go.”

“What? Are you going again, not here?”

“Because I will go to places that have been difficult to come alone.”

“…… Huh.”

“No…… Is it?”

Milia asked cautiously, and I immediately shook her head.

“No, it’s okay. Today, Milia, let’s do whatever you want.”

Well, the promise to reward is a promise.

She said, first of all, if it hadn’t been for Millia, she wouldn’t have run away with Lyncia.

In the end, I decided to hang out with her today.

Above all, it was quite new for Millia to show this side of herself.

Should I say a different side? As she was happy, she seemed to spread that feeling to me as well.

“Then shall we go?”

Just as I was thinking about that, Milia wrapped around my arm.

As soon as she pressed her body against her insides, she felt the touch of her soft yet tender arms on her arm.

“Um.”

This must be quite difficult to bear.

“Let’s go. The night is long.”

“Yes, yes.”

Looking at the momentum, it seemed that the outing was far from easy.
