Chapter 1046 – #249_Overwork (2)
#1040
One.
When I opened my eyes, I saw a familiar ceiling.
Countess Gemanai’s hospital room.
Strictly speaking, it was not originally a hospital room, but a room where Siwoo lays down whenever he collapses.
It would be better to describe it as a VIP room exclusively for witches, providing patients with pleasant air, room temperature, and stable magic power.
“Ah-oh…”
The last scene before collapsing from the throbbing head is played.
I think I fell down…
“Siwoo, are you awake?”
“Uh?”
“Ah do it.”
“Oops.”
As I stupidly opened my mouth, a piece of apple cut into bite-sized pieces came in.
Sweet and sour juice spread in my dry mouth, and when I came to my senses, I realized that the sun was in mid-heaven.
When did this time pass?
For a moment.
Time passes?
“Fucked… !”
“No! Lie down lie down.”
She tries to get up but Sharon presses her forehead into her pillow.
Her strength wasn’t strong at all, but her physical condition was lethargic, less than the strength of Sharon’s slender wrists.
“No, if you’ve slept until now, you should wake me up…”
“Then you want to fall again? Do you know how worried I was?”
“Strain?”
“Did you say that it is difficult when it is difficult? You fool, fool, fool.”
Realizing that Sharon’s eyes are especially red, Siwoo finished her reasoning about how things went.
“This is so… You made me suffer again.”
Sharon pretended not to hear her.
“The Duke went out and told her about the seat she had been promised. You absolutely need to recuperate for a week.”
It was against etiquette to suddenly cancel an appointment, and it was not a good thing to hear that the president had collapsed from overwork, so Elroa had to step in.
First of all, Eloah is also an executive of the Chesed Society, and if she is worthy of her name and understanding, she can more than pay the face value of delaying her promise.
“I can’t take a week off.”
“No! I wanted to take another month off, but I endured it.”
Sharon sternly asserted, but she pushed another piece of apple into her mouth.
She said so, but Siu couldn’t even stand up and work.
According to Sharon’s subsequent explanation, a kind of mental burnout is overwork reflected in the spiritual body.
Well, it’s not even strange.
She’s been fighting for her life so far that she couldn’t count on ten fingers, so maybe it’s time for her to spread out once in a while.
“I’ll do what I can handle. You just have to think about recovering quickly and getting up. Got it?”
“All right. Secretary.”
Drowsiness that won’t go away from a while ago.
As her cheeks yawned, Sharon placed her new wet towel on top of her head.
Her body is aching and uncomfortable, but she feels somehow good because she is being nursed like this.
Is this why she is telling me not to live single and get married?
“Thank you.”
“Oh, I should thank you. Where is the secretary who is pretty, cute, nice, and listens to the sick? Blessed are you, our president.”
“Well then. Know.”
“Good night. Dear president of the school.”
Sharon responded with a playful kiss to Siwoo’s words before falling asleep.
2.
The Hesed Society started to grow like bamboo shoots during the rainy season.
It was not a good timing for rumors to circulate that Shi-woo Shin, the president of the society, had fallen ill.
Siwoo’s hospital bed is kept confidential, but rumors about the family of Count Jemanai circulate quickly.
It took less than an hour for Odile and Odette to learn the secret passed from mouth to mouth by the servant.
However, the twins looked at each other like a mirror and were busy decorating themselves.
“Sister, how am I?”
“Pretty pretty, what about Odette?”
“It’s like a beautiful black swan. But let’s change shoes.”
“Why? How are my shoes?”
“Look at my sister, the tone doesn’t match.”
The twins turned blue at the fact that their assistant collapsed during class and tried to run right away, but there is a threshold for worry.
Assistant’s brain was pierced by Ea, a vicious enemy from outside Gehenna, and he lay in a coma for several months. This is not
Since I heard from Master that it was not a big problem, I was thinking about the next problem rather than worrying about it.
In other words, this is an exciting visit event rather than a very serious problem.
“Joy.”
Next to her, Leruhe, who was sitting on her box of shoes, was snorting at her.
They don’t have classes like twins do, so he must have gone to the hospital in advance, making a fuss, but he’s always been by my side.
“Leruhe, what else are you dissatisfied with?”
“Your assistant has collapsed. Go and shine her face.”
“Jim will take care of it. Aren’t you guys too worried about that?”
Leruhe answered in a heartbroken voice.
“Ugh, what do you know?”
“I fell over to my assistant and even cut my knee. If you don’t take heart, you’ll be crying a lot sooner or later, right?”
“We have to be bold and prepare for the event later. Our plan is to make a nutritious, rejuvenating soup and serve it to the assistant.”
“Originally, when the body weakens, the mind also weakens, and then our sincerity will look more commendable, right? For fatal temptation, you have to dig into your weaknesses! Whoops.”
“How is it? Do you want to wear it too?”
“I’m sure you’ll kiss me while you’re so moved?”
It was a somewhat sloppy plan to be clever, but the twins had the generosity to gladly include Rruye in this brilliant plan.
Unexpectedly, he received help in this and that, and even if it wasn’t, he was a close friend.
“A burden? Joy! Jim can’t afford to worry for such an unscrupulous man.”
“What do you mean?”
“What happened?”
It was not difficult to see that she was stubborn, like Leruet, who lives without paying attention to her original form.
It’s clear when you see that the title, which has always been talked about in the country, has changed to ‘such an unscrupulous’.
“Are you all right? Even though Jim went to a seaside villa with an apprentice witch he didn’t even know very well, to play Lululala?”
“Ah, that…”
“Isn’t it inevitable that it’s because of the anomalous succession?”
“Huh… !”
Leruhe opened her eyes and snarled in a loud voice.
“It can’t be helped!!!”
“What a surprise!”
“Did you eat boiled hornets…”
But I rather don’t understand.
Rruye Nukelaby is the self-proclaimed queen of the sea.
He acts as if he has no interest in love fights, and even when his assistant’s number of lovers increases, he shows fundamentally unknown confidence, such as ‘Jim’s charm is the same as Ha-hae’s, do you think he’ll be afraid of his adversary?’
It doesn’t seem like he’s not jealous at all, but his lofty self-consciousness doesn’t accept ‘himself who is nervous about his rival’, so he seems to be acting insignificantly.
“Why are you suddenly like that?”
“Anyway, it’s really rare.”
Is that all?
Although he strayed a little, he unexpectedly showed a grown-up appearance and even willingly rolled up his sleeves at the twins’ plot to connect the little master and assistant.
A stupid but nice guy, a cocky but meticulous guy, that’s Lruhe.
But why am I so angry at this time?
“You mean you still don’t know? After all, you can’t communicate with young people.”
“What are you saying, even though you’re young?”
“It is the sea! Ocean!”
“Huh?”
Leruhe, who had been pounding her chest as if he was resentful, vomited his anger.
“If there was a seaside villa in Gehenna and nowhere else, shouldn’t you have gone with Jim a long time ago? Jim misses the sea too! It’s not the witch of the deep sea, it’s the witch of the deep sea! Shouldn’t a man have that kind of notice?!”
“…”
Twins making eye contact and having eye-to-eye conversation.
So the reason you’re angry isn’t because you went out with another girl, but because you didn’t take me to the beach house?
There are times when Lerue gets angry at strangely strange parts, and this seems similar.
“Ah me again. It wasn’t anything too serious. Odette, how do you like my hat?”
“Pretty pretty.”
“Didn’t you ask first! Seriously listen!”
She was L’ruët, who quickly grabbed the twins who were arguing and complained about her displeasure.
3.
The Central Market of Taro Town, with its red brick roads, is always bustling with horsemen.
This is because, no matter what anyone says, it is the best market in Gehenna and the living ground of Gehenna citizens.
“No man! Does it make a difference of two silver coins per box?”
“Sir, I cut this as much as possible. You should have taken it the other day when it was cheap. I’ve been telling you…”
“Fur! Soft weasel fur! People look here! If you buy it in the summer, your wife will love it in the winter!”
Vendors who had spread their stalls around the central fountain were constantly splashing and bargaining, and shouts resembling a song from the high-pitched touts echoed across the street.
However, at 3:00, one side of the market became quiet like a lie.
There is silence with a strange sense of anticipation, just like right before actors appear in a theater.
The young man, who was wiping sweat from his forehead, looked at one side of the road and saw a golden silhouette.
She is a woman who always visits the market at the same time from several days ago.
She was a witch with bright blonde hair and noble blue eyes, wearing a large cloak to make sure she wasn’t hot in this hot weather.
“Oh, come today.”
“Pray a lot…”
As the witch passed by, spraying her sweet scent, people in her tracks sniffed her nostrils.
“Kyaa, that’s really noble itself.”
“If only you could see me and smile…”
As you can see from her lively appearance, most of the citizens were ordinary people because witches did not set foot in Taro Town Market.
In the meantime, Amelia’s beauty and the good scent she sprays have become a spectacle for people of all ages.
Feeling perplexed, Amelia stepped into the corner fruit shop.
A wrinkled old woman, marked by her years, greeted Amelia with a soft smile.
“Did you come today, pretty witch?”
“… Yes.”
The old woman, who had been selling fruit on the market floor for a long time, knew that this seemingly cold girl was very shy.
“Do you have strawberries?”
Wouldn’t you be able to tell just by looking at me that I was embarrassed by my behavior of coming to buy strawberries at the same time every day?
The old woman presented a red, large strawberry with a hearty smile.
It was a quality fruit that smelled sweet even though it was placed in a colander, not the tip of her nose.
It’s hard to believe that they grew up in a glasshouse because it’s not in season.
“I knew you would come and took it out in advance. You pay as you always have.”
“I can’t do that. Is it more than last time?”
“Then, it is said that it is the sincerity of the store owner to regular customers.”
“…”
She was thinking of buying a little more to give to Siwoo, but…
Amelia nodded her head, placed her shiny silver coin in the old woman’s hand, and pondered for a moment.
The warmth of her hand and the old woman’s eyes were full of warmth.
This is a courtesy that even a fool can understand.
What would Miss Sharon do in this situation?
“Thank you.”
Amelia took off her hat and bowed her head, giving her a slight smile.
As she is a lot younger than her, she said while thinking that it would be more comfortable to receive this side rather than the extremely respectable one.
“I’ve been greeted by such a pretty witch before I was alive.”
The old woman, who opened her eyes wide, smiled like a girl and clapped his hand.
Amelia also smiled a little awkwardly.
