After the sweeping attack of Circe, the ruined imperial carriages had the atmosphere of a funeral parlor.
Gerard’s aide, Avilus Theses, who quickly sent a crow to look around, spoke up.
“…She has completely vanished, Prince.”
Gerard burst out in anger.
“Ahhhhhhh!”
He became a little crazy, such that he couldn’t take into account the dignity of the prince or his usual image.
It was finally within his reach.
He thought he had put that useful, stupid girl into his grasp. But she screwed him up like this?
Due to repeated failures, Gerard was in a highly poisoned state.
Gerard, with blood on his forehead, gave an order with his eyes reddened eerily.
“Gather the quick-footed ones in the army and make a group to track Annette. From the beginning to the end of every continent, to the depths of the sea, to the jaws that go to hell, you must find and bring that girl before me.”
“Yes!”
“And mobilize the rest of the troops to annihilate ‘Circe’! Make every single one of them corpses and bring them to me!”
“I will keep that in mind, Prince!”
The sound of Gerard grinding his teeth could be heard.
“These useless escort garbage shall be dealt with here.”
“……!!!”
Before he even finished speaking, Gerard’s personal troops mercilessly slaughtered the imperial guards who participated in this procession. Their blood spurted like a fountain and their heads fell like fallen leaves.
With red eyes occupied by madness, Gerard shouted to the rest.
“Remember, everyone! If you fail, you will end up like these pieces of meat!”
“Yes! Prince!”
But at this time, Gerard did not know.
Until his numerous military forces were turned into pieces of meat due to the many failures, and the newly transfused forces were wasted.
They would never even find the name ‘Circe’.
Like a lie, there would not be a single person who had seen Circe and Annette since that day.
It was literally
...━━━━⊱⋆⊰━━━━...
“Annette, where do you want to go?”
Annette, who fortunately returned to a human from a chinchilla, was hugging the phantom thief boy’s waist while riding his horse.
Dageudak, dageudak—
“Bayonaire!”
I shouted loudly again, fearing that my voice would be blown backwards and could not be heard. Hence, my voice sounded a little excited.
“Please go to Bayonaire Island!”
“Bayonaire Island…?”
“Yeah!”
I answered, sniffing and smelling the phantom thief boy’s back.
‘Oh, without me realizing!’
‘Chinchilla’s habit is still…!’
‘But this sweet body scent is somehow familiar. Where did I smell it before?’
I tilted my head a little, but I couldn’t think of anything. I quickly put on a smile and asked again.
“I will make a fresh start on that island! Can you take me there right away?”
“…….”
The phantom thief boy grabbed the reins with only one hand and looked back at me.
Towards the girl, the corners of his darkened lips rose nicely.
“According to the lady’s will.”
Dageudak, dageudak!
“Ha!”
As the boy grabbed the reins and spurred, the muscular black horse roared out loud and gleefully sprinted across the ground.
The sun was shining brightly, illuminating their path.
Now—
It was a good season for a new life to bloom.
...━━━━⊱⋆⊰━━━━...
Bayonaire Island.
One of the many islands belonging to the Bortage Territory of the Western Continent, boasting a beautiful natural environment and sunny weather.
It wasn’t a tourist attraction that attracted everyone’s attention, but it was quiet and cozy, beautiful like a flower blooming in the sun, and a good place to live.
The personality of the island’s inhabitants was cheerful and friendly.
In such a place—
“Okay, business starts today!”
The windows that were made of logs were wide open.
“Oh, my!”
The smell of croissants baking inside made the already lined-up guests’ eyes sparkle.
The bakery owner lady neatly tied her sweet-looking blonde hair and greeted the guests with a lovely smile.
“Welcome back. Mr. Genji! You’re a little late today?”
Genji, a farmer with a wheat beard, was already salivating.
“Hahaha! I have to be able to withstand the smell of bread as I pass by. What kind of bread would you recommend today?”
“All of our bakery breads are delicious. But today, try potato soup with sweet and savory whole wheat sourdough bread!”
On one side, there was a customer who was already dipping bread into the potato soup while saying, “Wow!”
The slightly sour and savory bread was soaked in the soft and thick potato soup.
Genji’s eyes twinkled.
“Oh! Give me one of that set too!”
“Fufu, the date palm tart is also delicious today!”
“I’d like my dessert wrapped, please. It’s perfect for my daughter!”
“Yes~”
The bakery owner responded cheerfully and finished wrapping the package.
Then, suddenly from the inside, a baker with red hair and golden eyes stuck out his head.
“Glutinous rice!”
He was wearing an apron with a fluffy bread design printed on it.
“The potato soup is almost gone.”
“Ah, Um. Can’t you make more?”
“Soup needs to be simmered for a long time to become a food that goes well with bread. As you know, if it is not for my excellent fire control and devotion, it will not taste good! I can’t make it that fast.”
“—That’s right.”
As if she was apologetic, the bakery owner smiled with her eyebrows lowered at the customer.
“Now the morning set is sold out!”
“Oh my!”
“I can’t believe it!”
Guests brought their hands to their foreheads, looking like a horde of zombies who wanted bread and potato soup.
But that’s what popular bakeries are like.
Morning sets run out 30 minutes after opening.
The small bakery owner comforted the customers and recommended other breads.
The customers vowed, ‘Tomorrow, I must come earlier!’
A small bakery made up of logs had the sign ‘
However, this bakery was not here from the beginning.
The bakery’s owner, Miss Annette, first appeared on the island of Bayonaire when she was 12 years old.
The girl bought a small house on the hill, fixed it by herself, and settled there.
And she walked around the village, smelling like sweet bread all the time.
The villagers slowly became curious.
‘Why does it always smell like delicious bread over there?’
The answer was soon to be found.
A kind-hearted girl often distributed bread to her neighbors.
Sometimes the bread was delicious, and sometimes it wasn’t; but if what was eaten was something not delicious, the girl observed people’s expressions and would touch her chin, saying, “Oh! I failed.”
At that time, the villagers would look closely to see if the girl had poisoned the bread.
Fortunately, no one was poisoned.
As time passed, the frequency of “I failed!” decreased rapidly.
That was when word of mouth began to spread that the bread the girl occasionally gave out was very delicious.
When the villagers began to drool with twinkling eyes whenever the girl passed by…
This
The secret to its popularity was not just in the taste of the bread, but a few years ago, the bakery owner lady also started to become famous.
The little girl who walked around the village grew taller and her eyes shone brightly, she grew into a pretty beautiful girl.
Her long blonde hair shone softly as if stardust had fallen, and her pale green eyes were as beautiful as the essence of spring.
When she smiled, a bright light came from all around her.
There was even a joke that the young people of Bayonaire Island adored the owner of the bakery and bought so much bread, and that they all gained 5 kg each.
However, the muscular assistant baker resembling a red wolf always growled next to her, so they couldn’t easily approach her.
This young man was also one of her regulars.
Ding ding—
The door opened and a tall man entered.
He was a young man who seemed to have just turned twenty.
However, the skinny body had a well-established skeleton, so it seemed that a very strong body was hidden under ordinary clothes.
Of course, in the eyes of Annette (an obsessive baker), he just looked like a big fish that always buys bread.
‘What? He’s here again.’
I looked at the man carefully.
‘Whoa, VIP regulars at my bakery…!’
“Welcome!”
“Ah, hello…”
He wore square glasses under his curly brown hair and looked like a nerd.
‘What is he doing?’
The man appeared 6 months ago.
It was a time when customers were gone and the store was idle.
After the first visit, he always came at the same time and bought the leftover bread.
‘Hmm, he comes here 3-4 times a week and buys a lot of bread, so the estimated sales are about 100,000 gold a week.’
He was a man who spent 400,000 gold a month for bread.
‘At this point, I should take care of him.’
The sincere self-employed girl quickly approached the man and said;
“Can I recommend you some bread today?”
Crash!
The nerdish man who was choosing the bread was visibly surprised, his shoulders shaking.
I blinked for a moment in embarrassment, he looked as if something radioactive had approached, but when I looked closely, his white cheeks and earlobes were peach red.
‘Ah, the shy type?’
‘He hasn’t initiated a conversation with me within these six months.’
He always came like a ghost and faithfully bought only bread. I sometimes wondered if he was a real ghost, but as he pulled all the money out of his wallet, it was obvious he was human.
“Today, the date palm tart is deliciously baked. Since you are a regular customer, I will specially give you a tart to taste. It’s free!”
It was a lie. Since it’s not selling well today, please take this and buy it. That was my intention.
“…….”
The man carefully took the tart, avoiding my gaze.
Then he opened his plump lips and took a bite (I could barely open my mouth wide to inquire about the taste, but eventually I asked cautiously).
And he answered slowly.
“…It’s surprisingly delicious.”
‘What? The way he talks…’
I thought he was just a young man from the neighborhood, but his accent and pronunciation were surprisingly noble and wonderful.
The young man looked at me with a touched expression, and then smiled brightly with a really handsome face.
“Thank you very much… for your kindness. Lady.”
Beneath those vivid green eyes, Indian dimples dented his face.
Thank you for reading ❣️ ❣️

‘…Oh, he looks like a pure stag with that smile!’
Was it the face of an innocent handsome man?
Although he was covered by glasses and shyness, he had a very neat and tidy appearance.
When I stared at his face, the man quickly averted his gaze awkwardly and raised his glasses.
‘Do you happen to have a disease that kills you when our eyes meet?’
“I… Then, I will buy all the remaining tarts. Please wrap it.”
“Oh, you would like to buy all of them? Yes, customer.”
I grinned and walked to the cashier, carrying a tray of tarts.
Then I carefully wrapped the pretty tarts topped with luscious red dates and shouted into the kitchen.
“Today’s bread is all sold out!
Red hair popped out of the kitchen.
“What? You managed to sell all of the tasteless date—”
“……!”
When my eyes shifted and blinked to point to the ‘hogu’ guest, the red wolf shut his mouth and went inside.
(TL/N: 호구 – a slang for ‘a stupid person who is easy to be deceived by others.’)
‘Heuk heuk, did you hear that?’
I glanced at him slightly, but he was only staring at the interior blankly.
‘Wow, that’s good.’
“The package is ready, customer!”
The man strode over to the cash register with his long legs and took the packet.
In case he had heard it, let’s sacrifice the bread I left out to eat.
‘I can’t lose my precious regulars!’
I rustled from below, took out a bag of bread, and held it out casually.
“This is for free!”
It was a long, crispy baked baguette.
“You seemed to like it the last time, so I left it out in advance! I’d like to give this to you…”
I made a golden remark with a smile on my face.
‘Fufu, regular customers are weak to this kind of service.’
“…Ah…”
Unsurprisingly, the naive man looked genuinely touched for a moment.
He received the bag of bread respectfully and carefully, in the posture of receiving an ancient artifact from the emperor.
His large figure, with a baguette draped over his broad shoulders, looked a little cute.
He was fiddling with the bread with his thick, long, white fingers.
‘Yes? What are you hesitating about?’
While I was in doubt—
The young man’s sharp rib cage shook violently at the neckline.
(TL/N: in other words, he’s breathing heavily, lmao.)
Then, as if he had made up his mind, he pulled something out of his coat and held it out to me.
“……?”
My eyes turned towards him.
It was chocolate and white flowers.
A cute pink ribbon was hung from the chocolate, and the white flowers were as clean and pretty as small snowflakes during the first snow.
“…Please accept this.”
The man’s large hand was trembling slightly.
“Thank you?”
I accepted it in surprise.
“Then.”
He smiled a little cutely. He looked like he had done something.
Then he strode out of the bakery with his long legs.
I stared blankly at his retreating back.
“That person…”
I muttered.
“Why did he just go without paying…?”
...━━━━⊱⋆⊰━━━━...
“Glutinous rice! What did that glasses guy give you?”
Um immediately came to me and checked what the customer had given me.
I waved the chocolate and flowers.
“Chocolate and white flowers, uhmm.”
Um’s dark eyebrows swung upward. It was a look of exasperation.
“Hey, that glasses guy. It’s really obvious.”
“That’s right, it’s really obvious…”
I rubbed my nose and smiled happily.
“He must be someone who is really serious about bread.”
“……?!”
I raised my index finger like a keen detective and spoke.
“I secretly kept a baguette and gave it to him, so he gave me something like this in return, right? I’m sure it means to take care of it next time. He tends to come late, so he always misses our bakery’s most popular menu item, the ‘Baguette’!”
How disappointed must he have been every day?
“So he’s serious enough to bribe me, the bakery owner. Well, it’s good to be comrades—”
“Glutinous rice, you are really…”
Um looked at me in astonishment for a moment, then shook his head.
“Poor, poor glasses guy… Why do you have to be this sort of bread lover?”
Ugh, why was he feeling sorry for him?
Wouldn’t it be good for regulars if the owner of the bakery was a bread lover?
It was when I was tilting my head.
“Pfft.”
Sordi, who was elegantly drinking black tea and eating freshly baked madeleines on one side, laughed.
“What did I do wrong, Sordi?”
The handsome lily said, as always, with a bright smile on his face.
“No way. I thought my baby was cute today.”
‘…For those with severe bean pods, yes.’
Even though I became an adult, it was understandable that I was still called ‘baby’.
When I once protested, he gave a fairly reasonable answer, “I am thousands of years old, aren’t you a child compared to me?” and I was immediately convinced.
He had lived so long that he couldn’t count his age properly, so he roughly lumped together as a thousands of years old.
“Then let’s turn off the lights and wrap up.”
I hummed and cleared the empty shelf.
‘I’m so proud.’
When all the bread was sold out, the bakery owner’s heart was at peace as if she ate a lot of hot and tender stew.
I grabbed a small watering can and went outside.
Then, I watered the flower bed full of colorful flowers next to the spot where a wooden signpost that reads
The pretty, dainty flowers drank water and sunshine.
“Ah, today is good too—”
Life on Bayonaire Island was more satisfying than I expected.
‘It’s a godsend to have chosen this island.’
The island of Bayonaire appeared in the original, and was mentioned several times in an episode where a swindler embezzled imperial funds and ran away.
“I will definitely go to Bayonaire Island. If I go there, no one will find me.”
Indeed.
In addition, he would sometimes describe how wonderful the island’s natural environment was, how marvelous the dazzling sunlight and the sea was, and I fell in love with it while reading.
‘It’s a nicer island than I imagined.’
As mentioned in the original, really, there was no one who found me when I came here.
Gerard must have dispatched hundreds of pursuers.
Of course, ‘Circe’s Phantom Thief Boy’ must have done a great job by diligently erasing my traces and cutting off the pursuit.
‘I thought he’d just help me lightly.’
During that time, he came to the island several times and took care of me. Thank you very much.
It was the same when I first settled here.
“I’ll just use the name Annette.”
“…Changing your name will make it easier to evade the chase.”
“Changing one’s name and hiding is like a criminal’s life. Whenever other people call me by a different name, I will feel unhappy because I’ll remember that I am living in hiding.”
“…Ah.”
The thoughtful phantom thief boy said, wrapping his hand around his cheek.
“I will definitely cut off your pursuit. So have a happy new start here. Understand?”
“Yes!”
“Don’t worry, the name Annette is very common here.”
It was true. In the Western Continent, the name ‘Annette’ had been quite popular for over 20 years, and it was definitely a name that would show up in the ‘Top 10 most common names’ list.
I had also read it several times in newspapers and magazines.
‘It’s an extra debuff.’
It was clear that the author just wrote it as it was.
“And I… Because I want to keep calling you by your name…”
The phantom thief said something a little cryptic.
Anyway, it was a bit of a surprise.
He didn’t seem to think of it as just a transaction, but as if he really wished me happiness.
‘Of course, even if he was, it’s information, so I can’t completely believe him.’
Usually, incredibly scary people sign contracts to get a price worthy of it.
It was clear that the phantom thief boy was actually a very scary person.
‘He might want something huge later on.’
Of course, so far, he hadn’t wanted anything.
‘What does he want from me?’
He didn’t really want anything to the point where I was getting a little anxious.
Anyway, other than that, it was a peaceful and happy daily life to the extent that there was no problem at all.
Uh…
“…Still, I’m a little concerned about the customer who put it on credit.”
I remember the tall man giving me chocolates and flowers (without paying for his bread) and then walking out.
The first ‘credit’ customer in the history of a small bakery!
I set the watering can aside and sat down on the bench under the porch.
Then I lightly inhaled the scent of the white flowers that the man had given me.
‘It’s a familiar flower.’
‘I think I’ve received it before, when was it?’
But I couldn’t recall every old memory, so I gave up and untied the pink ribbon.
Inside, a shiny chocolate with a rich cacao scent was revealed.
Nom—
I took a bite and it melted on my tongue.
“……!”
Then I covered his mouth in surprise.
‘It’s very tasty.’
The chocolate given by the unidentified nerdish man was soft, sweet, and thick.
I instantly became happy and smiled brightly.
Thank you for reading ❣️ ❣️

While eating chocolate, I took a break while enjoying the peaceful and beautiful scenery.
Basking in the pleasant sun was a bonus.
Jii-chak—
“If you’re done resting, shall we go in now?”
Upon entering, Um was cleaning the bakery with a broom.
He was still wearing an apron with fluffy bread design on it.
‘Now you’re a full-fledged assistant baker, Mr. Um.’
I snorted proudly.
‘Whoa, it was hard to convince him at first.’
Um, who could handle fire was a perfect fit as a helper in the bakery, but of course there was a lot of backlash at first.
Like a large dog that was extremely resistant to the leash, he rebelled, going, ‘Bow wow wow!!’
‘So I had to get him to be familiar with bread little by little.’
“Mr. Um, look at the color of these wonderful croissants!”
“I won’t look. I’ll never look at it, so give up!”
Slowly, very slowly… I…
“Try eating this freshly baked morning bread soaked in fragrant milk. Is it delicious?”
“Huh… It tastes good.”
Slowly, I set the trap of the evil bread lover.
“Glutinous rice, the full moon is very pretty today.”
“It looks like a delicious bread baked in the morning.”
“…Is it?”
―In the end, Um was soaked into bread.
One day, he put on an apron and started helping out little by little in the baking business.
Naturally, he sometimes grumbled about my amazing career choice.
“The king’s bookkeeper, the continent’s richest man, the king of war who created a new civilization… And the baker.”
However, in self-employment, labor costs account for a very large proportion…?
Accept reality, Um.
‘Whoa, this is a great operating cost reduction.’
Of course, the benefit of Um helping me was not only the reduction in operating costs.
There were also other great unexpected benefits.
I walked over to the lights illuminating the bread display stand, lightly snapping my finger.
Poof!
At that gesture, the lights went out like magic.
It was Sordi’s power.
‘The more time I spend with Um and Sordi, the more my resonance with them increases.’
Thanks to this, I could now handle the power of the two to some extent.
Of course, it wasn’t perfect yet.
For example—
“Glutinous rice, we will be away for a few days.”
“Oh… Is that time already?”
“Yes, we’ve been here too long. Now is the time to go back.”
There were still shortcomings, such as not being able to let Sordi and Um stay here indefinitely.
Still, it was better than the first time.
I thought back to our first meeting.
‘I couldn’t summon them for even a moment, so I had to ride a monster flower and go to the place where the two of them were.’
Though in our second meeting, I could summon them to the Forest warehouse for a while.
I later found out that the place where I first met Sordi and Um was the ‘Sorcerer’s Hall’, where the souls of the sorcerers gathered.
They usually take a break there and then appear when I call.
I replied with a smile.
“It must be a long vacation for the two of you. Go eat a lot of delicious food and rest well. Sordi, Um.”
Sordi asked sadly, covering his eyes with his long sleeves.
“What if I miss my baby?”
“You will be fine!”
The red-haired wolf also crossed his arms and became serious.
“Glutinous rice, it must be very difficult for you to run
“Enough!”
Even with my ironclad defense, the couple who loved their belated child only deepened their anguish.
“I might cry every day because I miss my baby. It’s fortunate that I have a portrait.”
‘…When did you draw the portrait?’
“Glutinous rice, call me anytime. Even if you need help in the bakery, call me. Even if I am resting, I can immediately jump out—”
‘All right, go back.’
I listened to the stories that contained their worries for a long time, and in the end, following Sordi’s words, “Let’s hug each other”, I hugged the two of them in turn.
‘They both have severe separation anxiety.’
I shook my head, but only inwardly.
After such a long goodbye, Sordi and Um eventually returned to the Sorcerer’s Hall (it took over 30 minutes to say goodbye).
“Whew…”
I put my hands on my waist and looked around the bakery, which had become quieter and more peaceful.
“Is it ‘me time’ from now on?”
I laughed softly.
...━━━━⊱⋆⊰━━━━...
Mmm, hm, mm~
As I entered the kitchen humming pleasantly, ‘Poof!’ the lights automatically lit up.
From the shiny polished oven to the low and small worktop, to the way the cooking utensils were laid out and evenly arranged—
It was my favorite space.
I put on my apron and checked the pre-fermented dough.
“Hmm, that’s just right.”
Chwiik-seuk— This squishiness while pushing the soft dough with a rolling pin felt good.
While the bread was being made, in a cast iron pot, a stew made with diced lamb, potatoes, onions, and paprika simmered with a delicious smell.
“Oh my.”
Put the bread in the oven, and let it rise! Upon heating, the dough quickly rose.
Just like those big fluffy chick butts.
I hummed, pulled out some freshly baked soft bread, grabbed some sweet fig jam and some yogurt, and sat down at the table.
“Fufu, shall I eat some now?”
Huuu—
The bread that had just been taken out was steaming. I carefully grasped both ends of the bread and pulled it, it tore with the grain, and revealed the hot inside.
“Crazy.”
I hurriedly took a bite. The taste that melted in my mouth like butter was absolutely enchanting today.
“Ahh, it’s good to be the owner of a bakery…”
This bread lover’s life satisfaction was 1,000%.
Shwiik—
I opened the newspaper and enjoyed my leisure time.
“Will there be a lot of interesting news today…?”
I always read a newspaper during lunchtime.
It was a ‘world daily’ newspaper.
‘Sometimes, there is news of Sislin and Heinrich.’
Of course, this extra was omitted from the original.
Still—
‘I’m curious as to whether it’s going well towards a happy ending.’
After only existing as ‘Reader 1’, entering the original work, and directly affecting the story, it was quite interesting to watch.
It felt like peeping at the slightly changed original, or reading a new, exciting novel?
In fact, almost 10 years have passed, and my feelings for Sislin and Heinrich remain only beautiful memories.
Even till our deaths, we would never see each other again.
So, what could I say.
‘It feels less burdensome.’
This newspaper was a comprehensive coverage of news from all over the world, so articles about Sislin or Heinrich were only published once or twice a year.
Even if it was only one or two times, it was always interesting.
What articles have been published so far?
The hidden prince (Sislin) of the El Dorado imperial family was discovered, and that he was in a secret nursery.
It was reported that the children were rescued from the facility and that the ‘Forest’ was eventually closed.
‘Hmm, that’s great.’
Of course, it was true that living in the Forest was good.
But it was a place where children were raised and used for special purposes.
The intention was impure to begin with.
When I saw the article, I was curious about the whereabouts of the children and teachers of the Forest, so I had the thought of calling Julius… But I eventually decided against it.
‘If I reveal my location, I might get in trouble.’
I couldn’t merely trust the phantom thief boy.
I, too, was hiding from the past so not even a single strand of my hair could be seen.
Thanks to this, Gerard had been searching in vain for over a decade.
“Hey, I cut off all pursuit and am living in this corner of the country, so how will you find me? …Even if you’re an obsessive maniac, you’ll never find me.”
I muttered, and I shuddered for a moment.
Just a little… Wasn’t that an ominous statement?
“Scratch that. It will be difficult even for an obsessive maniac! Even if he’s an obsessive maniac, he can’t find me!”
No one was listening, but I purposely shouted out loud towards the sky.
It’s fine whether it’s God or the writer, just listen to this and remove my ominous flag.
‘Do you understand?’
‘I’m now more reassured, fufu.’
I rubbed my nose and leisurely flipped the newspaper again.
In any case, other than that, there was only news that Sislin had waged a war.
That was the whole article about Sislin.
To put it all together, Sislin’s life was going roughly the way it was written.
But not Heinrich’s.
‘Why is Heinrich different from the original?’
Judging from the fact that it was written in the articles as ‘Heinrich Hyacinth’, it was certain that he had been adopted by the Marquis of Hyacinth as in the original story, but his movements were different from the original.
Heinrich made a name for himself as a genius wizard (so far it was the same as the original), and was earning a lot of money by inventing various magic tools.
He was a new-rich man.
There was no such content in the original.
Because of my personal taste, nearly all the characters I read about were poor.
—No, shouldn’t it? If one laid down on a pile of gold coins and wiped their tears with the finest silk, it’s not enough to evoke pity, right?
Anyway…
‘Isn’t it good to be rich?’
I thought, chewing on an apple.
In addition, there were articles that spread his vicious chihuahua-like side to the world, stuff like, ‘He grabbed the arm of the old mage’. But I had a foggy brain (?) and tried to forget about it.
Fortunately, today’s paper did not contain anything about the boys.
“…Whew, I’m safe again today.”
I laughed softly.
I felt like no news is good news.
I mean, it’s a little difficult if something like the ‘Wizard’s neck…’ was posted frequently.
I folded the newspapers and arranged the plates that had been emptied in no time.
Just then, I heard a chime from a bell on the door.
“Welcome!”
I greeted with a bright smile.
‘Ah, did someone come to pay the bill?’
The self-employed person looked at the door reflexively, recalling the first credit customer.
