Crewl tells me to "show him to your room" and leaves the guest room.
Krew's trunk was carried by Krew Lol's called servant. I tried to shy away, but the servant told me, "If it's good, let me help you," along with a gentle smile, and I also felt rude to refuse to work so hard, then I decided to be generously sweet.
Long hairy fuzzy carpets are laid not only in the rooms, but also in the hallways and stairs. Also, the ceilings in the guestrooms, doorways and hallways were very high and high enough to think that if I let go of the balloon here it would be a big deal, but the room I got to, guided by a crew lol, was not too high or too low, at a general height, relieved. Here, if you accidentally let go of the balloon, you'll reach for the string. It doesn't make me sad.
I don't even have ceiling paintings like a guest room or a front door. It's a common, calming impression room.
When the servant put the trunk down, he left "because I have dinner to prepare".
"This is your room. You can use it as you like during your stay."
"Yes, thank you, old crew lol"
Dad. That's right. When Crewe called, after his mustache moved a little, he said, "Uhm." It was a strange reaction, but it didn't seem to have been hated.
Asked if there was anything missing, Crewe looked around the room. Inside the room is a bed and bookshelf and a study desk, with a pillow of wine red and cherry checks on the bed and a duvet of the same colour. The chair cover of the study desk is also unified with the same pattern of cloth. The curtains are also warm colored.
There are two animal-shaped figurines in the window, sitting properly, adorable.
All of this, did you bother to prepare it for Crewe -?
"There you are."
When I tried to hear that, I heard a voice from behind.
Looking back. There were two women standing. One is a servant... the other?
Something relaxed and affordable in the fabric, not a dress that tightens the body like that worn by customers who often come to the jewellery store. Is the material silk or sleeping roll clothes, thick cardigan on shoulder, long hair mixed with gold and white, flushing over cardigan. When Crewe and I met her eyes, she narrowed her eyes and laughed - wrinkles leaning over her eyes.
"I'm interrupting you," Krew thinks as he rushes to bow his head. Who is this guy? Although it is obvious that the servants are not, because they all wear similar uniforms but not at all.
"Thank you, I'll be fine," I say to the female servant I was taking. The servant seemed lost, but when he answered, "Please return to your room as soon as possible," and thanked the crews, he returned to those who had come.
The woman stands next to the crew lol, leaning against her.
"Can I stay awake?"
"Today, I am calm. Besides, I can't sleep when I hear you have a lovely guest."
"... not at all"
I said I can't hang out with her, but she doesn't care. Turning to Crewe, smile.
"Mr. Crewe, right? Welcome. My name is Maria, and I'm Crew Lol's wife. If you have any problems, say anything."
"Oh, ha, nice to meet you, I'm Crewe. Best regards…"
So I greeted her back, and when I thanked her, her fingers went into my eyes. Slightly rare, white.
Crewe glanced at her complexion as she kept her head up. She seems to be wearing makeup lightly, but it is not very thick. She has the impression that she is a little tired on her cheeks and eyes. No, I'm not tired.
"Um, uh"
"What?
"Are you not feeling well? Do you have a cold?
"No, I'm a little weak. But it's okay now, never mind."
"Really... oh yeah"
Exploring the pockets, individually wrapped water colors and white candy appeared one at a time.
"Um, candy, I'll give it to you. I eat when I get sick in the carriage, too, but then, uh-huh, it heals my disgust right away. So I'll give it to you."
Maria took the candy that Crewe offered, with her fingers.
He puts his candy gripping hand on his chest and laughs at me. The wrinkles on my eyeballs deepened.
"Thank you. You're so sweet."
"You don't think he's that employee, do you?
"That's not true. Even Mr. Sputnik is a lovely girl."
Nice 'kid'. Crewe was just a little surprised by the way he called it.
For Klu, Sputnik is an adult. And even for those around him - there were people who quarreled with him like nuts, who talked to him on an equal footing like Soaran the Wizard, and then there were some of his customers who called him 'my darling', but there was no one in Crewe's knowledge who called him 'the child'.
"Um, ma'am"
"Oh."
When Crewe called, Maria pointed her lips and looked disgusted.
Pinch her mouth in the middle of the conversation, would it have been rude - but what she cared about, it wasn't. She said this when she pointed her frowned face at her husband, who was sitting next to her.
"Loneliness. You're an 'old man', but I'm a 'wife'."
"... what, the details. It won't matter."
"I don't mind. It's so sloppy of you, such a cute girl to call me 'old man'. Hey, Mr. Crewe. Wouldn't you call me 'Odd' if I were you?
Follow your hips and bring your face closer to Crewe. The look on your grumpy face seems like a prank when you look closely, and doesn't mean you're feeling really bad.
"Yes. Um, oh,"
I'm surprised, I'll try to call you exactly as instructed.
Then her expression instantly blossomed in front of Crewe. Look at my husband, pulling around the two arms of his clothes,
"Ugh. Grandma, that's right. Oh,"
"I thought you told me to call."
Crew Lol replied so and sighed again. He seemed frightened, but he didn't push them away, and I thought they were very close.
"So, uh, what was it?"
"Um, back there... Maria, Grandma, Sputnik... uh, Sputnik and you are close."
Then Maria tilted her neck with her hands on her cheeks.
"Right. I'm not so close, but I do. The first time I saw her, she didn't know I was in this guy's house." Oh, ma'am. How beautiful. You are as beautiful as a gem. Why don't you let this jeweler pick a necklace that suits your white chest well 'cause it wasn't a long time before a young boy held me on my shoulder, so I was very, very surprised then. "
"... the shopkeeper, excuse me"
To the wife of a great man, what a thing. I'm embarrassed and shrink my shoulders, but Maria didn't seem to care so much because it was an old thing, and she laughed Ugh.
"But right after that, this man's iron fist went to Mr. Sputnik's head, uh-huh. You're a hard head and you don't know how to add and subtract, so you looked like you were hurting anyway. I have to apologize."
"That's okay. Zama,"
Hold each hand tightly and shake the cover. Sputnik always has a soft attitude. So even if you get hit like that by Crew Lol, there's no choice. No need for Maria to apologize!
When I insist on that, "You're a good boy," he strokes his head. I had my hair stroked by thin, supple fingers, feeling comfortable - one thing at the same time, I wondered.
Crew lol opened his mouth more before questioning it though.
"Did Sputnik make those earrings?"
With my hair moving, I guess I got a good look at Crewe accessories.
"Yes. Oh, and this ring is also Mr. Sputnik."
Nodding, then opening his left hand and showing the ring embedded in his middle finger, Kruelol glanced at the ring and murmured, "That sounds like it.
"You, you know very well"
"That design looks like it could be made. But."
I wasn't very interested in Crewe's hands. Hi. What he cares about is the earrings, apparently. Hang your hair on your ears to make it easier for you to see the earrings from both of them. His face approached.
A crew lol who took the making seriously said this.
"You're not piercing."
"Huh?"
"Basically, piercings are more freely designed than earrings. If that man not only sells ornaments as a merchant, but also has a face as a designer, decorator, and craftsman"
Though it is likely to make piercings. Put your hand on your jaw and listen to Crew Lol say that with a bump.
Unexpectedly, Crewe remembered a long time ago.
"Um."
"Yeah?"
"... I had earrings made, me, when I was younger than now"
That was some time after Crewe and Sputnik opened a jewelry store in Liafiat City.
One day Sputnik made these earrings "for you" after remembering all the work and not being frightened of the customers visiting the store.
"The necklace, I couldn't see the back of my neck, and I couldn't put it on well by myself. He made me earrings because earrings would be easier because I could see them if I had a mirror. Piercing is the same, ear accessories, but it's hard to take care of, and holes can be putrefying, so I don't want to bother until then. And then"
And then.
"Mr. Sputnik said at that time, 'Nothing, you don't have to bother drilling holes'.... Now that I think about it, maybe he cared"
Crewe looked down at his body. And
"When I was working before, I got hit..."
Now the wounds on Crewe's body just linger a few nuances around his belly.
But Sputnik knows one day Krew. I was slapped every day, scratched everywhere, when it was a blur.
So.
He may have thought that he would never bother to hurt Crewe's body, which was healing.
"Right."
I don't know if Kruelol knows about that, though.
His fingers, like Sputnik's, were thick, big, and crunchy. He also caressed Crewe's hair softly, just as Sputnik would.
"Mr. Sputnik is a very nice man."
"Yes."
He's a very nice guy, he's really very sweet, and that's why Crewe loves Sputnik.
Although. - Sometimes I can't miss it because I love it.
"But there are some bad things about it. If I hadn't seen it, I would have gone for a drink with a woman right away and never come back until morning. And he's a very bad kid because he's nagged, sticky, and..."
"Is he still doing that job..."
"Ma. Mr. Sputnik is a bad boy. Mr. Crewe, you're going to be mad."
"That's right. So Ku Kan, puffy, tired every day, so sooo."
But.
He's the one who wants Crewe closer than anyone else.
