Chapter 32 – Chaos
After the food was delivered properly in front of Nina and her escort,
“S-So… You always eat this much food…”
Nina looked at the man and murmured with round eyes. The man who saw the amount of food was equal to the girl’s face immediately gave a retort.
“Did you not order the extra-large serving anyway?”
“Y-Yes. I ordered the extra-large serving.”
“The extra-large serving is for adults, you know…? Just to clarify.”
Nina was quite Naive, after all, it was rare for someone of Nina’s age to be able to eat the extra-large serving.
“I wanted to order the same thing as you…”
“Surely that’s the food I had yesterday. Eh, why?”
“……”
“Huh?”
The man didn’t get a response.
“I-I was just in the mood…?”
“Ah… If you feel like that, it can’t be helped. Yeah.”
I can’t understand it at all…
This is what the man really felt, but it was indeed a bad idea to pursue it.
The man convinced himself that Nina wanted to act a bit more mature.
“Well, if you can’t eat it, don’t worry, me and Miss Escort there will eat it.”
“!?”
“Thank you very much!”
Even for the man himself, the extra-large serving was enough to him full.
The escort, perhaps not expecting such a turn of events, looked astonished. But she pretended not to notice.
It’s not good to waste food, but the man didn’t want to suffer alone, so he took the escort with him.
“And you see, you don’t have to wait for my food, why don’t you eat first? I know you have a certain time limit to go out, and it would be a waste to let the freshly made food cool down.”
The man couldn’t say this to an escort he just met today.
So he urged Nina, who he had a certain relationship value with. But it was the right thing to do, considering the two people who have a master-servant relationship.
When the escort saw that Nina had started to eat, she began to eat, too.
“Ah… It’s very delicious.”
“Right? It’s delicious.”
“—Why are you so smug? Here’s yours.”
At that moment, for some reason, the inn-keeper with a critical attitude intervened. He put down the food the man had ordered.
“O-Oi, my food isn’t placed properly.”
“Shut up. Just for today.”
“Why!?”
The inn-keeper really seemed to be on the brink of losing his temper.
“You and the inn-keeper seem to get along very well.”
“Well, we’re on good terms with each other… Right?”
If the inn-keeper says ‘no’ here, then the man would never be able to enter here again mentally.
The man was so nervous that he could hardly breathe, but his fears were unfounded.
“…You didn’t tell me anything about your achievements. If I had known, I would have kept my distance. Seriously.”
“Fufu, Sir Jet-black’s secrecy is indeed troubling, isn’t it?”
“Right, seriously…—I mean, that is most certainly right!!”
“Ah…”
He just used a casual tone of voice in contrast to Nina, who had always been respectful.
That said, the man could understand the inn-keeper’s flustered feeling.
“Miss Escort, can you let us off the hook this one time…”
“As long as it doesn’t offend Miss Nina.”
“I won’t feel uncomfortable, so feel free to speak casually with me, just like you do with Sir Jet-black.”
“I-I’d rather you spare me from that… Seriously…”
“It’s interesting that the inn-keeper is so respectful. I’ve never seen it before.”
“This is how I usually am! You’re the one crazy!”
As seen from the fast switchover, the man had stepped on a landmine.
“I do have general common sense, you know…”
“You’re one to talk…”
The inn-keeper, who had already exhausted everything in his body, walked into the back of the kitchen, looking squishy.
Well… I wouldn’t have been using a casual tone if I’d known their identity from the start…
The man tried to change his attitude after learning Karen’s status, but it was Karen who naturally teased him about it.
The truth was that the man was just an ordinary person, and that couldn’t be changed.
“Um, excuse me.”
“Hmm?”
The man was stuffing his mouth with delicious food while his head was in a blur, when the timid Nina started talking to him,
“As you mentioned earlier, we have a limited time for going out, so… I apologize for interrupting your meal, but could we discuss a date and time for us to visit to express our gratitude for what you’ve done?”
“……”
As soon as this was said, the man lost his sense of taste.
“…Wait? You want me to visit? Like to the Church?”
“Of course not! We will be the ones visiting your mansion to pay our respects.”
“I see… You’ve got that information…”
“I-I apologize if it made you uncomfortable. Taking that into consideration—”
“No, it’s fine. I was just saying…”
It was only a short time ago I was given a villa… How do they have that information…
It was truly a frightening display of power.
And the man realized it. They had a complete picture of his whereabouts. There was no need to tell the location of his housing.
“…Well, if you’re coming (and I need to be mentally prepared), I’d like it to be a day off. I’ve got a few things to do.”
“In that case, how about this Sunday? Around noon on Sunday.”
“…Understood.”
It was decided easily. And the nerve-wracking time of hell awaits.
Judging from the shopkeeper’s humble attitude, it seemed Nina was a person of extremely high social standing.
“By the way, who is going to come and visit…?”
“I think it will be Father, Mother, Sister and me, and several guards.”
“I see…”
Give me a break, seriously…
It might be a natural action for the whole family to come, but there was a precedent of people from the Holy Church who were looking for his whereabouts.
It wouldn’t be surprising to find that both parents, including Nina, were executives.
“…I have one question. Can’t I decide who comes to my house?”
“What would that be?”
“I don’t want your parents to come over.”
“Eh!? H-However…”
From the ‘However’, it seemed like Nina wanted to keep pushing, as the man hadn’t given enough reason to convince her.
“I don’t seek anything too formal. I also don’t prefer to attract attention.”
‘Who are you to say that, with such equipment…’
Such an argument sounded from afar, but the man thought it was just his imagination… Dismissing that it as just his imagination, he continued to work his head,
“And I want Nina’s parents to put the church first. If any problems arise, they can be resolved smoothly.”
“W-Well… That’s another matter…”
“Even if your parents won’t be there, you can still express gratitude, right? I’m not asking you to come alone, after all.”
“……”
In any case, the man was afraid of Nina’s parents, who were supposed to be people in power. He would really feel much better if they didn’t come.
“Or is your sister that unreliable?”
“There’s no such thing!”
“Then we’re set. Miss Escort, please pass on the information.”
“That’s my intention from the beginning.”
“…Yes.”
The man didn’t know that was the intention, but he still tried to be assertive.
From then on—
The man savored his food as if to explode with delight, thinking, Yes, yes, yes! I have a great feeling about this!
