"Don't you have to eat with me? Girnandio."
It just so happens. Yeah, I just happened to see it. Say what? Well, have a moment when Girnandio's not feeling right. Usually you just have to look at something unusual, right? Even if you were worried about something, you wouldn't want to interfere unless you talked to me. It may be cold, but there's something you don't want me to touch. This is not only about me, but there are also things like the implicit rules that everyone in Ortus cares about. Of course, the stance is that when things happen, you do your best to be on your side.
But this time, I thought you might need a little help. Hmm, no matter what they say, I can only answer somehow. So I know it's a favor, and you spoke up.
"... nothing, I don't need a meal"
"I bet you are, but you usually eat with Meg"
We're adults, so we don't have to eat or sleep for a few days. I'm sure eating is more powerful, but it's a slight change. So eating and sleeping is almost entertaining. I've been eating almost every day since I belonged to Ortus, but this is good, right? Because eating something delicious makes me feel better. I feel pretty good about going to bed, too.
But this man hasn't changed his lifestyle since he came to Ortus. Dine and sleep once every few days. Because that's my rhythm, I didn't try to change it. I started eating and sleeping every day to make sure Meg didn't get sick. Again, I think Meg's influence is amazing.
"Aska's here. Nothing. You don't have to be without me."
Hmm, I knew something was wrong somewhere. I don't talk more than I need, as usual, with no expression. It's weird at a time when you're not trying to look at Meg, isn't it?
"At least, I don't think you should look away."
"Huh... that's brilliant"
I just didn't deny it. Let's just say it. For once, he seemed conscious. Yes, that was the moment I saw you earlier. Girnandio said he'd been staring at Jizz and Meg until then, but that moment when Meg noticed Gil and turned away, he sassy and left the scene.
"I can't believe a man who could be Ortus' number two is running away."
I laugh at Couscous by accident. It was such a valuable reaction. Whoa, don't stare at me like that. I'm sorry.
"Hey, that means you don't have to look at Meg, you're free tonight, right? Just hang out."
"... no"
"I need to talk to you about Meg."
Hit Girnandio first, trying to say no. Because if you're talking about Meg, you must want to hear about her. And, as the prospect suggests, Girnandio admitted as he wrinkled between his eyebrows. You're easy to handle. A new discovery.
"Yes, I won't let you take the time. There's a bar where I'm going. Let's go there."
"Do you drink?"
"I'm not, sometimes. By the way, I'm only going to talk about this today."
This man, reluctant to expose his face to public, is extremely reluctant to eat outside. But I thought if I added this one word, it would come. I have a sense of consciousness after using my rather cowardly hands, and I think Girnandio thinks so.
But I think this kind of opportunity is necessary. Girnandio, I think you should look back at yourself a little further away from Meg. I'm always in the closest place. You want to break that guardian's gaze just a little bit.
I was just walking ahead, and I felt signs that Girnandio would follow me, and I was thinking about that.
The destination bar was only popular and quite busy. Customers and masters look at us for a moment, but immediately turn away and mouth each alcohol. We are famous in this city as members of Ortus. They all read the air and pretend they don't know if it's in the middle of something. I like these places.
"Master, is your usual seat empty?
"Of course I'm available, Mr. Kay. Can I get you a drink?
I always sit in the same seat when I come with a girl, so the master somehow leaves me free to know what to do around it. My designated seat in the corner of the bar. Of course, if anyone else was there first, I'd give it up. It's a good place to tell a secret story, isn't it?
"As usual. Two of the most popular cocktails in this store."
"Yes, sir."
Be sure to ask for this at first. It's delicious, and I want you to drink this to get to know this store. Well, they're Girnandio today, and it doesn't make sense where you get to know them. 'Cause I can't imagine this guy coming for a drink with anybody. Even I asked him out forcefully this time.
"I'm going to drink..."
"It's a violation of manners to come to the bar and not drink anything. Just sit down."
I guess I thought that too, Girnandio once looked at the cocktail he had been transported to, he lowered only the mask and then included it in his mouth a little. That's good, to that one word I whined about, I accidentally break my face with my master.
"Right? Sometimes you should come to something like this."
"Mm."
Ortus' cafe will also be at the bar at night, so I can drink alcohol, but some alcohol can only be drunk here, so I go on. The master, who thanked me with pleasure, leaves for the counter without staying any longer. That's right, you're not a professional.
Girnandio, who saw it, waved softly and gently around us and found himself putting a soundproofed junction. I don't suppose anyone has noticed that on this occasion but me. As much as that, it was an uncomfortable sorcery activation. Ma, it's the usual thing.
"But you didn't expect Girnandio to come to the bar so honestly. Could this be your first time?
When I ask, no, the unexpected reply returns. Oh, with who the hell? I thought that the answer was convincing.
"I've been here with the leader. It's not this store, and it was quite a while ago."
"Uh, a leader? He always drinks sashimi when he's with Ortus."
When Ortus was founded, I was invited by the leader. I miss it. I wasn't really sure about all sorts of things back then. But it's no exaggeration for the two of us to have a drink and talk about it and say that I'm here now because of it.
"Don't you need to fake you? It's not you. It's not you. '
Really, how much you could have saved.
"That's fine. Talk fast."
"Damn, that's because of you. Fine."
I thought you'd say that. I also thought it would be troublesome to explore what motivated me to speak out, and just fine. Let me just go straight in.
"... you don't like Aska?
The point is, I think you're jealous. And Girnandio is aware of that.
"Well, a little"
You see, I don't even think I'm going to hide it. I know why.
"As a father?
"... what else could there be"
Ha, I knew it. It stinks, already. I sigh openly.
"I guess custody is already in the Demon King, right? Still think you're the father?
"That's right... I've been looking at it from my parents' point of view. I wouldn't be able to help it look that way. I think that's the same for you."
"We are, though. But you're not the only one, are you?... you think you haven't noticed?
I tilt the glass with my cheek cane. You can't wait to like this sight, where the orange lighting in the store sparkles with amber liquid. I looked at it and was a little soothed, and I approached the core.
"... is it your turn? For you, Meg."
When was that? Meg used to peek into Girnandio's shadow. I've heard that when other than Girnandio himself peeps, he gets a hell of a lot of eyes, but Meg didn't.
The reason for this was that I knew it as soon as I thought about it. Girnandio's shadow is his spirit itself, so to speak. So if it interferes, Girnandio feels bad, and those who peep take enough damage to touch his insides to make him feel crazy.... because the darkness of this man is pretty good too. The effects of shadow witchcraft are also incredibly visible to me, I think that's the principle.
But I'm not affected by that, which means... because Girnandio heartily accepts Meg. That's synonymous with the number, so to speak.
"I'm sure it's still a one-sided thought."
Though, Meg wouldn't think that far. Whatever. Still kids. I also knew very well from the reaction that Aska told me today that I would not even understand what the number was. It was turning bright red, though. Probably just somehow figured it out.
"... it"
After a moment of silence, Girnandio began to speak quietly. I think it was the first time this man's mood had been heard from his mouth. That's why I felt the weight... and I understood Goto. Right, were you thinking about that? I don't know what this is again...... that's troublesome. That was my first thought when I heard all the stories.
"So now you still have to wait..."
"That's the thing.... Can we finish this conversation?
That's what I said and stood up to Girnandio, and I rounded my eyes.
"I haven't told you about Meg yet, okay?
"Originally, you just wanted to hear this out"
"... did you understand that?
"Well."
I see. I thought I could guide him well, but you're telling me it was all prospective. I thought you should know too, so I went out with you, and then Girnandio leaves the bar. Ha, I knew I was no match for that man. I don't even feel sorry for you. Too many different levels are ridiculous, aren't they?
"I know what I want to know, and I want to know.... even a girl invites you to drink straight."
I haven't either. Let's get soothed by cute girls and work hard tomorrow. That's what I thought. I decided to take a seat again.
