Volume 3 Chapter 45
Aarrghhh! Really —
ā€œShe’s so bad at making friends!!ā€
I unwittingly yelled after going through the letter that came along with the furniture.
Kami-sama’s room looked totally different after the things had been moved.
I slumped on the new chair that was just brought in, then rested my elbows near the edge of the round table.
ā€œSo, just what am I to Liddy all this time, then!?ā€
Half of me was bitter, while the other half was astounded. I heaved a deep sigh.
If we weren’t friends, then it would mean that she must have seen me as a brazen guy freeloading for food.
Moreover, we’re not even friends, so I must’ve been too rude for teasing her endlessly —
These thoughts raced through my mind and I grimaced.
ā€˜ā€¦I can’t refute it.’
I had been extremely rude to the point that I couldn’t even justify it myself.
Asking for food during our first meeting, cracking jokes, and sponging more food off her afterward — ugh, even I cringed at how shameless I had been, like, I would totally say ā€œwhat’s up with her?ā€ without a thought if I was in her shoes.
ā€˜ā€¦but it’s not like I’ll do that with just about anybody.’
No matter how shameless I am, I still have that sense of guilt whenever I ask something without anything to return.
I was also planning to return the favor through other means one day.
I don’t have any idea when that would be — still, I could accept it because I thought we can still be together despite that vague future.
ā€˜ā€¦Well, I really don’t know when that’ll be. But still, sending me all these stuff!!!’
I bitterly sighed as I looked all around me.
Kami-sama’s narrow and poorly furnished room was now packed to the brim with fine furniture that looked out of place.
ā€˜What’s with that ā€˜none of those are expensive’, huh!? Are you kidding me? They’re all fit for aristocrats!!!’
There’s a round table with dainty ornaments, and two chairs.
The bed was soft, and the two-seater sofa was fluffy. There’s an ornate shelf that looked like it was already an decor by its own after setting it against the wall.
Even so, I carefully screened all of them and only picked the ones that were suitable for Kami-sama’s room.
Kami-sama himself didn’t like gaudy objects, so I chose the low-key ones that were sparingly decorated, but here we are.
I was reminded once again of her status as the daughter of the duke.
By the way, I requested the delivery guys to send all the things that didn’t fit back to Lidianne.
Well, I’m also an aristocrat myself, being part of the count’s house, but I had already totally adapted to this destitute lifestyle that the thought of throwing them didn’t occur to me.
ā€˜Ah, but it might be a blunder on my part, huh.’
I pouted and glared at the letter before sighing again.
I mean well, but I wonder if she’d take it the wrong way.
Did I overstep again? — she will probably think like that, and it might make her anxious and worried.
The thought of her fretting about this was really spot on that I couldn’t help but smile wryly to myself.
ā€˜I must do something about this…Really, what a troublesome friend!’
.
I shook my head slightly then raised my head from poring over the letter.
Kami-sama was in front of me, sitting across the table.
Er, rather than sit, maybe it’s more accurate to say he’s ā€œridingā€ it.
He couldn’t get on the chair properly because he wasn’t used to it. I caught a glimpse of him as he was about to slide off the chair, and it made me laugh, but let’s set that aside for now.
ā€œKami-sama… Erm, there’s something that I want to request.ā€
Kami-sama looked embarrassed to death, quivering as he tried to climb up the chair again, so I called out to him.
ā€œSince things are like this, can I invite somebody over? Perhaps, tomorrow — I also want to thank her for the furniture.ā€
When I thought about it, I realized that I was always the one being invited.
I couldn’t muster the desire to invite somebody over to my personal room back at the lodging house, and Kami-sama’s room was empty.
Kami-sama was a bit introverted, so I would visit Adoracion-sama’s mansion on my own…
ā€˜It isn’t a bad idea to welcome people here from time to time. Well, I can’t do anything grand compared to Liddy, though…’
Kami-sama probably wouldn’t act unpleasant towards Lidianne.
If Adoracion-sama was also here, then Kami-sama might enjoy himself, too.
Lufure-sama… could just come if he wanted to.
I imagined how lively the room would be, and a smile unwittingly crept on my face as I inquiringly peeked at Kami-sama.
ā€œSo, how about it, Kami-sama?ā€
Of course, it would still be up to the master of the room whether he would allow people to come over.
But, I was pretty sure that he would allow me to invite them.
I was looking forward to it — but Kami-sama looked baffled as he quivered.
ā€œEhā€
His voice was somewhat strained, but it wasn’t because he didn’t approve of my request.
It sounded much more suspicious, fundamentally dubious, as if he couldn’t believe his ears.
ā€œEleanor-san. Are you perhaps telling me that you still plan to stay in this room tomorrow?ā€
Why are you still coming here — it sounded as if he was implying that, so I blinked.
Eh.
….Eh.
