A month after his 13th birthday, Noah was rarely home today.

"I'm sorry you took the time to do this. I need to talk to you about something. And I'm a little late, but happy birthday."

When I met him at the front door, I gave him a large bouquet of flowers.

"Thank you. You've never been to my house before. I welcome you."

"Ah, this is the confectionery that we're talking about in King's Landing right now. It's a souvenir because it's strange."

Well then, hurry up. Zara, please. "

I was afraid.

Zara receives the bouquet of flowers and souvenirs and leaves. I took Noah to the east house outside. The cheerfulness of the early summer is definitely better than the reception room.

"So, what do you want to talk about?

Let's get down to business.

"Rather than consulting, please...."

More than usual, I said with a deliberate smile.

"I want Ivan's necklace by next month. Can you do something about it?

……

Ivan is also known as my sculptor. Salome is the only one I know but my family. I stared at my friend with a clear smile.

"Where did you find out?

"Oh, don't worry. Julius's cover-up is perfect. It took me almost a year to find out anything about Madame Salome. Of course I didn't say anything. However, since it is too active in the context of" impact ", it is advisable to be more solemn. Sometimes I see you like a town girl outside."

She sighed unintentionally. Speaking of which, his hobby was walking around the city in nostalgia. I went out of my way to disguise. Do you have a lot of information networks? Not Isaac information, but self-investigation... I may not eat more than Isaac.

"I'm sorry. I know it's against the rules, but it's three years before the one I ordered gets here."

I apologize with a slightly troubled face. I know it's no offense.

Can you tell me why?

I don't mind if it's convenient for my friend. The past year has been very busy and access-creating people are slowing down, but depending on the reason, you can try your best.

"My aunt died the other day."

"Eh!!?

Unexpectedly, I asked back louder than I expected, so Noah is surprised on the contrary.

I mean, Grandma is Isaac's wife Doris, right? I didn't go out much because I was distant, but I'm not a stranger. I didn't say I'm sorry. Well, it's not like I can tell you.

"That's sad... Eye... Grandpa, where's your mother...?

I can't help but ask because I'm worried. Isaac's eldest daughter Addy got married in a romantic marriage, so her second daughter Elma took her son-in-law.

"Well, I've been sick for a long time and I'm ready, so my grandfather is fine, but my mother is feeling a lot better after all. Ever since I sneaked up on my family's funeral, I've been feeling like I'm closed... so I wish I could give Ivan the accessories she wanted for her birthday next month."

I mean, to cheer Elma up. Well, as far as I'm concerned, there's no reason to say no if it's for a lovely child who feels like a relative's grandmother.

Oh, and after Gideon, Doris passed away. It is no wonder that the same generation is traveling more and more. Well, it was Cornelius and I who cut the lead. When this loneliness is combined with the taste, I feel sorry.

"Fine. I'll have it ready by next month."

Do what you like with Elma's image. I was relieved to see Noah.

"Thank you. I'll make it up to you."

Make it up to you?

"I'll take care of the trouble around you and clean up the busy Julius."

I can convey my gratitude with a smile.

But you can feel something black on the back of your clear face. Uncle Julius is orthodox, so if there's something I can't help but think about... yeah, let's not think deeply. Noah wouldn't be a jerk either. I was hoping you wouldn't cross too dangerous a bridge.

"Feeling so much trouble around me?

Basically, I leave everything that I don't care about to my uncle, so I don't really feel it. Noah has a face like "Oh, my God."

"There's been an increase in applications lately."

"I hear so. My uncle said no to everything."

"You said that yourself before. If you hide it, grown-ups will like it. At Gideon's funeral, you did it. [M] It stands out even when it's noisy, and it stands out when it's grown up, so there's nothing you can do about it."

"Grandpa's funeral won't cheer you up."

"Even though it has been a bad reputation for circling your mother until now, it was a huge gap because it was protected by Julius. Besides, when we broke up, the one who got stabbed with a smile on our face continued."

Say it like it's stunning.

Oh, you're making a gap adorable. Nice work, pretty girl. Furthermore, it reproduced a bad phenomenon that helped puppies abandoned in the rain. But it's not my fault. If you care about one thing at a time, you can't do anything with geese characters.

"Honestly, I didn't know. Now that my uncle has paid me completely, nothing will change in my daily life."

"It's not just people who negotiate from the front and give up once they say no. After all, there are many people who have seen it, regardless of whether they are cheap or not, so there are many other things." Even the Impact has a force that's trying to get in and out and hit the pile. "

"Well, it was a little hard to put all the burden on my uncle, so if Noah would help me, I think it would be enough. I don't want my uncle to do something dark behind me."

"I don't mind."

"It's a matter of aptitude."

Fufufufufufu.

They smile at each other, perhaps with a smile of inclusiveness. In the future, if there is a need for a shitty job, I think you'll have to ask Noah. Now that Ada and Roxanne are as likely to be able to engage in covert activities, the nearest increase is not bad.

"By the way, are those clothes new to Impact?

Now that I've finished talking, Noah turns to the clothes I'm wearing.

"Finally, you pushed me in. Still a prototype. It's going to be popular next time, but what do you think?

"Well, isn't it fashionable? I mean, that's where you're taking it, right?

Noah laughs complicated as she looks at her whole body.

It's been seven years since I was six. Off the shoulder with full! Round dress from decorte to shoulder. The bust is also growing well, and the body shape is becoming more and more girly, and I think it suits me.

"First, we make a lot of achievements in Impact, and then we take it for granted in the public, and then we bring it to the upper class in Madame Salome. Over the past year, I've been building patterns like that."

Plan!!! I just want to say that there is no part that doesn't fall into my heart.

"Something, uncle ~, it's good to sell, but you can't wear it to me ~. Even though it's so sweet to me, it's only conservative to wear... I want to wear it myself, but it doesn't make sense.

"I agree with Julius, too. I think it's going to be a lot of misunderstanding and trouble for you to walk out in that outfit."

"You think I smell so bad that I can't avoid it?

"That's not how you worry about your family, is it? If I hadn't known you, I'd be sure you'd be tempted. I've never been out of trouble before."

Because this is a friend's advice, I was told that the tone was mild but unexpectedly serious.

Uh-huh. There are too many steadfast people around me. At the age of 13, they would give me personal advice like this mother.

It's a compromise that I don't wear it when I'm alone.

Noah smiled bitterly and shrugged her shoulders to me.

There just came Zara, who prepared the tea.

Hmm?

The unusual confectionery that came out was, in any case, shoe cream and balm couchen.

Unusual... no, I've never seen anything like it in this world.

I mean, is that it?
