"Really... why do you think this is happening? Roderick"
Ha, ha. Clark throws it with a sigh.
Heavily drooped his neck on the counter, placing more than half of the jock. Roderick's eyes were slightly rounded, as was unusual for Clark's sinking.
Roderick, who finished the exercise and came to drink from Clarke's plea, was not around. A familiar tavern with no shopkeepers was a great place for them to talk. There were countless personal celebrations, secret talks, consultations, and folly.
However, among them, the foolishness from Clarke is unusual for each other. Roderick had a bitter look on his face, especially in his own downfall, which hadn't happened in the past few years.
"If you ask me why, I can only say by chance. I don't think you can tell Nell about people either."
"... that's right."
Clarke drops his forehead like he was struck in the back of the head by a friend who returns the exact words relentlessly to the person questioned.
The employment relationship between Pride and Nell. It was also assumed that Clark would someday meet her sister, who works as a coat instructor, and her pride as an undercover student. But above all, I never dreamed that I would become personally close to Pride and even hire it as an embroiderer. I checked with Nell, but I'm still worried that Pride might have hired the Deputy Commander's sister in good faith.
Clarke felt a lot of pride until now, but the more he thought about being able to have a relationship with his sister, the more he wanted to knock his head off.
Roderick exhaled quietly at the sight of a blow that was rarely seen at home. Care for the remaining half of the jock with a slightly softer voice than usual, filling it to full sooner.
"Nell's talent is recognized by me and Clarissa. My hands have been surprised by the dexterity of my arms since long ago. I haven't seen the work since I returned to my country, but I think it was enough to stop in the eyes of Pride.”
"I'm glad you said that."... no, it must be a real blessing. I know I should be happy to let go. "
Clark took a little extra credit from his friends. Raise your face and lift your forehead by scratching your forehead.
Even the unexpected relationship of pride and funnel with what I feared was definitely delicious. However, if those two points were going around, and I felt so worried, I should have told the Pride about Nell's existence from the beginning. I was a little more calmly received by Nell's good news. Considering the pride, we were able to decide how to move quickly.
But now I'm not sure which one it is. Did you decide to hire her after knowing herself or the other way around? As I asked Arthur, my hope that he would continue to teach me in that rage was dim. I was also alarmed to ask Column and the other Kingsguard about such a personal matter.
With a distracting jock, Roderick emptied his drink at once to keep him company.
Freshly poured from a jar, the Commander of the Knights returned the two jockies to their original positions. "If you settle down next time, let me buy Nell's work," said the empty bottle while placing it on the counter. Of course, Clark gave it back weakly.
"Thanks to Pride, Nell can finally leave home on her own." Really... it's a pleasure. "
"If you want me to stay at home, you can say so. I also know about Diana-san."
"No, that's fine." It's not like that... you know? "
Haa... and Clark sighs there too.
That was enough for Roderick to know more about Clark's house than Arthur did. That's right, I looked back at him with one hand in the jock.
Despite the liquor being twice as advanced as usual, his complexion is more than twice as blue as usual, and Clark doesn't dare to say more than that. But I also know that Clark, who leaks a heavy voice while saying that Nell is happy to leave the house, is truly anxious to get her sister out of the house. Sometimes Clark wants his sister to stay home as long as she wants.
However, given the circumstances of the parties, Roderick can see that it is not the best. Even when Nell heard that she was going to live in Clark's house, she was more likely to take care of Arthur and his wife in her own house once her job was decided and there was no need to hide it from them. If Nell hadn't been on hold because of Pride's school infiltration before that, it's very likely that Nell would have commuted to school from the Bellesford family by now.
"... I feel sorry for Olivia and Nell."
After exhaling deeply, Roderick stopped the jock leaning against Clark's voice, which was close to redemption.
I still remember the day when Nell left the country and we drank together. Fortunately, my sister left the country for a dream, but at the same time, Clark was concerned that she might have been thrown out. I know you've cared about your sister, but I'm pretty sure it was Nell who created the cause of not being able to go home easily.
After Nell returned home, she tried to go home as much as possible, and Clark said, "You can stay like this" about Nell's prosperity, but the response was simple.
”I can't. It's awkward, and I don't want to make it impossible for me.... even oniisan is struggling, right?”
Clark, who had received a painful complaint, could not return the objection.
Her head shook like a bell at the words of her sister, who was ashamed of herself. Even though it was still drinkable, Roderick placed it in front of him in a jug as if he had weighed it down.
Don! and the surface of the jug swayed and jumped, and Clark understood and poured water into a new glass. As my vision swayed in the heat, I drank the contents in a breath and filled the glass with water again.
After drinking two cups of water in a row, I drank a lot of poured alcohol and distracted myself. Roderick didn't stop Clark tonight, who was faster than usual.
Roderick remembers that he was also bothered by the fact that Nell was the cause of this.
"It's not like Nell has a grudge." Why don't you just try to behave as you always do? "
"Please don't do this..."
Clarke, who leaked a rare, weak voice, waved his hand to the left and right to deny it.
There are things that are impossible for me. Clarke became nervous again as he expressed his intention that nothing could be done. The more I apply pride, the more I get a problem with Nell.
She had already agreed to leave the house, but the blame was still on Clark's shoulders. Even if no one resented it, it wasn't a good brother.
"Congratulations, brother! But are you all right?"... because Olivia──...
If you recall the words spoken at that time with a head full of intoxication, you will want to hold them with both hands.
Instead, he tilted the jock again and drank it down until it was empty. Roderick was used to drinking violently for Clark. After all, I suspected that I was remembering that. I remember the time while tilting my jock quietly.
For Clarke, it was a case that bothered Nell and the Belfords, not to mention Roderick. Arthur certainly remembers that too. I also understand why painful words were thrown into your ear today.
When Nell started taking care of her from an early age, Clark cared about her younger sister. Sometimes I strive to raise him like a father, and I am proud to be as cute as my child. And that's why this problem alone was fatal. I certainly felt the awkwardness of Nell's words, so it was superfluous.
As a result, the awkward air continues to flow through my house. Nell says it's "my fault," but Clark is definitely his fault.
When Nell didn't look at it, she looked back at the figure of the woman who was looking pale and cold and sweaty again and again, and there was definitely a weight on her back that resembled guilt.
It would be best for Clark to try not to break up any more relationships now. The black and white eyes made her swim, so much so that she didn't have to worry so much about what she could do.
As for Nell, I remember that she worried about the Bellsfords. Because of this, Arthur, who was in the rebellious period at the time, was also shocked. Clark remembers as vividly as he did yesterday when he was told by the sighing mix, "What are you doing?"
And I was stunned and angry again today. I didn't think Arthur, who had become twenty years old, would be attracted to me. I've only met Nell a few times as a child, and it's not a strange relationship even if I don't remember. Still, Arthur is the one who remembers and cares about her, or did he leave a disturbing impression on the Beresfords at the time? Clark thinks it might be both.
"Nell is also a fine adult." It's natural to live on your own, even when you're back in the castle. You don't have to worry that much. "
Having said that, Roderick put his hand down, and the shoulder with his strength dropped as it was.
"Thank you..." I bowed my head to my heavy hand. This time, without continuing to drip, if I leaned on the jock, I swallowed the words of [adult] together with the wine.
Roderick is right, Nell is an adult now.
No matter how comfortable she feels at home, it is not strange for her to leave her parents' house and live alone. Even if the house was a comfortable place to live, it may be enough for Nell to be independent if she wants to. Either way, I think it's a good thing that she was able to choose between her parents' home and her independence financially and, above all, that she was able to go to her dreams and move forward quickly.
The first princess's direct embroiderer should also see if she's included as a factor in it soon. There is an immediate opportunity for convenience.
financial independence, get the job you want, and leave home. Before leaving the country to fulfill her dreams from the age of sixteen, she had earned the money for it herself. She was a fine adult in Clark for a long time.
... adults.
”Such a kind, truly gentlemanly person......”
Shortly after, Clark's forehead was pounded into the counter.
Clark's move diagonally surpassed Clark's prediction, and now Roderick the Rock jumped over his shoulders. Release Clarke's shoulders from his torso and place the mouthpiece on the counter. "What's the matter?" she shouted, worried that she was poisoned more than she was intoxicated.
Clark hasn't even shown up so far with his drink. Clarke didn't immediately raise his face to Roderick, who shook his shoulders. While assimilating the forehead with the counter, haha...... I only had the energy to show my survival with an empty smile. He knows full well that there is no point in consulting his best friend. My best friend's romantic dullness has been around for a long time.
Without a doubt, Harrison had no idea what to do with Rock's Clarke, who confused Nell without a trace of dust.
Half of what I think is their problem, this is also their fault, and if you think it's their fault, you'll feel even more guilty.
Clark knows very well that he educated Harrison at the time of his enlistment and that Harrison admired him. Clarke, who had never spoken out or intervened in her sister's love affair before, can't help but think deeply.
If the two of them were involved regardless of who they were, they could laugh and smile happily. I didn't care who Nell was dealing with. If it is a "problem" between people, whether the opponent is a knight, a criminal, or a royalty.
But Harrison wasn't the only one. It won't be a problem for us. It was impossible for anyone to unplug the elements of [Clark Darwin] from the current Harrison and engage with Nell.
I can't let a dull wife and child like Harrison become his brother-in-law if the goddess of fate is playful like this.
"Clark, hold on. I think I have an appointment with Nell tonight."
Stop the swinging hand once and lightly pat your back instead.
Compared to Roderick, Clark, skinny, was pushed by a wide hand and shifted forward. There was a flashy sound, but the shock alone did not cause much pain.
That's right... Clarke woke up with his torso wobbled from side to side. I lightly scratch my blonde hair and hold my slightly painful head as it is. After this, I have promised to go home and listen to Nell. It's not about Harrison, it's about a new prosperity.
Roderick thought he could still drink it, but decided to cut it up to Clark, who was too embarrassed. While lining up a new jug next to his glass, he slapped his back again and put more money on the counter.
“What do we do? If we don't get crushed, we can still talk, or we can drink, or we can go home.”
"...... Please, just keep me company for five more cups......"
That would be good.
Instantly responding to a shivering voice, Roderick stood up and took three of Clark's reserves out of the sake rack. Don and the bottom of the three-piece jar slam the counter. With one hand, he pulled out two bottles at the same time and poured them into his and Clark's jock.
Clark grabs the jock as he returns “thank you” to his best friend.
Along with Clark, Roderick raised his jock five times. It's a faster pace than usual, but there's plenty of room for five drinks. If it was an ordinary opponent, I would stop them from drinking too much, but I didn't mind Clark's opponent.
After finishing five cups, Clark let go of the jock he had held firmly. I'm not drunk, but my headache hasn't changed.
The relationship between Pride and Nell, the background to employment, and even Harrison. The fact dazzled me far beyond compare to alcohol.
Put Harrison down, but next time I see him, I can ask him about his pride. At that time, I was prepared to shake my thoughts again.
Now I have no choice but to trust the talent of Nell, who should have been recognized for her abilities, and the pride that she should not have been able to consume by adopting kinship.
"... you idiot, I really am"
"What would happen to me if you were a good fool?"
Parents are stupid.
"Shut up, you idiot."
With a solid footprint, Clark walked home, shoulder to shoulder with Roderick.
To celebrate the prosperity of Nell as her usual brother in front of her family, even if she is pathetic in front of her friends.
