CH 23

“Coming this far, it must be a big deal for them. I am obligated to listen.”

“Even if you say that it’s your duty, but you gave them advice with such sincerity.” It was wonderful.

Cesare scratched his nose as if embarrassed. If you are someone who listens to this story seriously, I would suggest consulting with them at least once. It was a pity that I found out about Cesare’s disposition so late.

“Wait.”

I got up, stopping Cesare from calling the next person. Cesare looked at me puzzledly.

“Drink some water and do it. From a while ago, the permanent residents took care of them meticulously, so why don’t you take care of yourself?”

Saying so, I poured water for Cesare. It was the water that was poured right in front of me, just in case he had any doubts. Cesare stared at the glass of water, then took it and emptied it at once. “Thank you.”

I made a rather stupid expression in front of Cesare’s compliment. Cesare, who had always been cold to me, was the first to thank me. My heart was pounding for nothing and I coughed in vain.

“By the way, I didn’t say it before…”

“Yes?”

“That dress suits you.”

Cesare looked at my green dress, then he said while having eyes that appeared to be a bit nostalgic. For some reason, I unwrapped the folds on my arm and made a fuss.

“Well… I have a very fine figure, so I can fit almost any clothes.”

“You are very honest.”

“I was just saying something objective. And the lord is cool too.”

“Am I ? “

“Yeah, I’ve always thought you are handsome. Have you never thought about it?”

“Well, I don’t think so .”

Well,I can compliment you for being handsome. But how many people have said that you’re handsome behind your back. I bet I’m the only one who said this in front of you.

He had a somewhat controversial appearance. It was scary because he was big and his face was sharp. However, it was much better than those who came out soft and melted with sweet words, but have drained the liver and gallbladder*. Because my uncle did just that. So I tend to be a bit reluctant to men who look gentle and kind. Cesare looked like a hundred years away from that look, and that was good. I said, scrutinizing Cesare’s face.

(have drained the liver and gallbladde – could also mean being promiscuous and unprincipled in sexual matters. Umm…being a playboy in other words.)

“Hmm. You are a little scary looking, but you are the most handsome guy I’ve ever seen. I look in the mirror every day, so my eyesight has a very high standard, right? So you can trust me.”

Cesare, who continued to listen to me, finally burst into laughter. What, why are you laughing?
