Chapter.34 Lurin’s grocery shopping
But when Laine saw the girl’s photo, she shook her head. He said he had never seen the child and had never heard of the child being lost.
The answer was that there was no talk about children at all in the market.
L nodded and handed over the photo, asking her to let him know if there was any news. Reine nodded furiously at that request.
For Reine and Knoll, El’s presence is special. I received a lot of help. Thanks to Palen Q’s business rights, the butcher shop was very prosperous and she and her husband were able to live happily.
In the end, it was all thanks to L’s help.
Since I received a request from L, I thought I had to roll up my hands and feet and step forward to solve the problem.
El went to visit the Gray boy after that. Given his status, the Gray boy is naturally unlikely to have met this girl. So El’s purpose was to utilize the lord’s power.
“Can we just investigate to see if anyone has seen this child?”
“Yes, it is.”
As El smiled and nodded, the Gray boy also nodded.
The Gray boy also received many blessings from El.
As if it wasn’t enough to make him aware of his adoptive mother’s hidden side, he also taught him everything about being a lord.
A person who taught me more than my father, who was bedridden at an early age.
That’s why the Gray boy followed El like his father.
That kind of person is asking for it.
The Gray boy looked at the place where El had left for a while, put the picture of the girl he had received into his pocket, and got up from the chair.
“Could you postpone your dinner plans for a moment?”
The head of the Gray family was surprised at the Gray boy’s command and asked a question.
“But Your Excellency.”
There was a special festival today.
It was the day of the Abundance Festival to welcome spring and hope for a good harvest.
Since it was an event that the boy himself created, the chamberlain was surprised and asked.
“But no. I will go to the security guard immediately. Get ready. This job comes first. And doesn’t that mean you won’t go to the event?”
“yes yes!”
The Chamberlain was startled by the Gray Boy’s command and lowered his head. He is usually a gentle boy, but once he decides to do something, no one can stop him.
In fact, El’s request was to mobilize troops. Of course, the mobilization of troops itself can be done through the chamberlain.
But this is what El asked me to do. I couldn’t relax when I thought that I might handle things rashly.
Therefore, the Gray boy decided to go to the evening event in person even if he was late, and began to move quickly.
If the security team moves in and conducts an investigation, someone they know will turn up.
Both the Gray boy and El were thinking the same thing.
Since we had mobilized the troops and even asked the news sources, we decided to wait a few days and L walked up to the restaurant.
Fuuuuuu-!
A festival planned by Gray Boy was unfolding in the sky, and the streets were a mess.
The clumsy fireworks of this era decorate the sky.
This was the festival that the Gray boy had to participate in. The fact that the festival is held in this way shows how good the atmosphere of the city is.
It’s always nice to see people happy. L looked at the fireworks for a while and watched the people having a beer party, then went back up the hill.
This led me to think about holding a fireworks festival with Rurin.
It’s evening and the sun has completely set, so the lighting in the restaurant stands out.
It was a leisurely evening because they had already announced yesterday that there would be no business tonight due to the festival anyway.
Originally, I had planned to kill the night by making a trivial bet with Rurin, but now that I have a guest, the plan is bound to change.
And the plan was improvised as we climbed the hill.
But El thought it was a good plan.
The reason I let Lurin do the grocery shopping today was also because even if she didn’t come after shopping properly, it wouldn’t affect the evening business at all.
When I entered the restaurant, Lulin and Sally were still sleeping.
It was time to wake Lulin, so El gently grabbed Lurin’s shoulders and shook her slowly.
“You… ?”
“huh?”
Then Lurin calls Elle in a low voice that makes it difficult to tell whether she is awake or asleep.
“Sleepy.”
Are you sleepy while sleeping?
I thought he was a guy who didn’t know anything, but he started laughing while raising the corners of his mouth one after another.
“Hehehe.”
Lurin’s actions were repeated for a while, as if she was talking in her sleep. He shouts “To you!” and then laughs. It is infinite repetition.
As I was staring at it in bewilderment, the girl suddenly opened her eyes. And then he rubs his eyes.
“Are you awake?”
Nod.
El nodded to Celie, who nodded, and then began to wake Lurin in earnest.
“Shelly is awake, so you should also wake up now. Lurin.”
First, he strokes Rurin’s hair with an affectionate hand.
This is the first stage of waking up.
Then Lurin slightly nods her head.
As a result, the girl and Rurin nodded in pairs.
L automatically burst out laughing at the seemingly different appearances.
But both of them just nod without thinking about getting up. So L entered stage 2 this time.
Usually, Lulin wakes up around stage 2.
“wake up! It’s rice. Bob Bob!”
“Is it already time to eat!”
Rurin, who slept after eating a late meal, suddenly opens her eyes. When Lulin got up, the girl automatically got down to the ground and looked up at Lulin.
“It’s a nice day, so bring Sally up so we can eat outside!”
After telling Lurin and Shelly, El went up the hill and started setting up the barbecue.
Some of the meat I ordered Rurin to buy earlier was bought to be eaten today.
Then Rurin walks languidly. Sally was also behind them.
“Come on.”
And then the meat party begins. Meat grilled outside is delicious no matter what anyone says.
“Oh, is it meat?”
“Okay, come here. sit down. “I’m bringing Sally too.”
Little Sally, estimated to be 5 years old, toddled along. And Lurin, who ran over, stood on the grill and stamped her feet. Saliva was welling up in my mouth.
Well, L also feels the same way. Because meat is love.
“Now drink this together.”
L handed the cocktail he had prepared to Lurin. It is a cocktail called Spumoni.
It is a cocktail made with an Italian liqueur called Campari, and has a sweet yet sour and bitter taste.
A little bit of bitterness and sourness goes well with eating meat, so L tried preparing a cocktail for the first time in a while.
For Lurin’s, add a little Campari to a glass filled with ice and increase the proportion of grapefruit juice. If you add grapefruit slices and mix with bitter tonic water, a pretty light yellow cocktail is created.
It’s a bit difficult to lower the Campari ratio, but it’s better than Lulin, so it’s a natural choice.
“Oh oh? This is a bit bitter but delicious. “The meat goes well with it!”
It’s originally a cocktail to whet your appetite before a meal, but when you drink it together, its unique bitter, sour and sweet taste keeps you savoring the meat.
Isn’t it a bad choice?
L opened his mouth while praising himself like that.
“Take care of Sally too. Can you drink grapefruit juice? “If I give it to you, it looks like it will throw it again, so please take care of it.”
Rurin, who was holding a drink in one hand and eating Uka sirloin with a fork in the other, looked at Celie who was just quietly watching next to her.
“Why are you looking at me so pitifully? “Hmm, I watched it because it made me feel good.”
As if Lurin couldn’t do it, she placed a small piece of meat in front of Celie. Of course, L cut it for her, but anyway, she placed a plate of meat and grapefruit juice in front of her.
“Eat. “Because it’s delicious.”
“sister.”
“huh?”
Celie put the Hibiren flower on top of the meat, wondering where she got it from, and then looked at Rurin.
“Why do you always eat that? He is an amazing human being. really. “If you eat those things together, it actually tastes worse!”
“Mayer!”
But Celie didn’t care and took the meat along with the flowers to her mouth.
And after work, I take off my makeup, drink beer, and drink juice while looking like the main character in a food drama.
Grapefruit juice can be a bit controversial, so I looked at it nervously, but there was nothing unusual.
L saw the scene and started eating meat himself. And unlike Lurin, I looked at the dragon and the girl while eating a cocktail made with a refreshing combination of 30ml Campari, 45ml grapefruit juice, and 60ml tonic water.
Seeing Rurin while drinking makes me feel happy. It was L’s happiness that she had not been able to fully realize recently.
And at the bottom of the hill, in Gray City, fireworks were still shooting off.
Fuuuuuu-!
“Wow… !”
The girl looks at the flame. With an expression that doesn’t look like a girl. The shadow of a bright flame shone on that expression.
I don’t know what touched the girl, but her eyes sparkled and even the corners of her eyes became moist.
However, contrary to the girl’s sentiments, Lurin was looking at the fireworks with distaste.
“It’s boring. Wouldn’t it be cool to explode in a more flashy way instead of like that? Should I just burst all my mana into the air?”
“do not do that. That’s pretty enough, but why? “This is also the same.”
“What is that?”
“Woohuhu. “It’s a pretty thing called a firework.”
El is one for Lurin, but it can be a little dangerous, but you can stop it with mana, so one for Sely. And he himself held a flame in his hand.
“This is what it is.”
Seonhyang fireworks are something that creates a beautiful flame as it burns on a thin stick. Although the moment is short, it has the characteristic of being very pretty when it burns.
“Oh oh!”
“pretty!”
Rurin and Celie hold out sticks to light the fire. L felt that the two women also seemed to have flames in their eyes.
Soon the flame is burning.
Lulin was crouching down with a curious expression on his face, and Elle was smiling next to him. As Shelly watched, she walked closer to the two.
“sister!”
And thanks to that, the incense flame reached Rurin’s clothes.
“What the hell!”
Lurin, startled by the sparks spattering on her clothes, loses her balance and falls toward El. Is it true that he jumped at L while he was surprised?
The current Lulin is anyway Lulin with alcohol in it.
Thanks to this, the girl’s flame became a catalyst and Lurin advanced.
Quadang-!
Through a combination of accident, coincidence, and acting skills, Lurin succeeded in headbutting L’s lips.
Lurin then got up, sat down on El, caressing her lips, then stood up, looked at the girl, and said.
“Good job! Hehe, you did a good job, so I will show you mercy and recognize you as my subordinate!”
Of course, it was something El would dismiss as nonsense.
