Chapter 69

Chapter 69 \nListless Couple\n　

　After that, the man somehow manages to stand up, and the lover’s quarrel incident ended up being resolved by the man’s sincerity.

　If the man earnestly apologizes to that extent, even the woman will flinch due to that, huh.

　In the end, the sight of the man pulling the woman’s hand as they walk away leaves a slight impression on me. He finally looks like a man in the end.

　Maybe there’s some damage remaining in his body, since his legs are shaking like a newborn fawn.

　After that, the two of them walked everywhere while holding hands, maybe they went to a stylish restaurant with a nice atmosphere, engaging in a lively conversation while having tea..  www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

　――most likely at the man’s expense.

　Since the plaza is a very wide open space, I should be able to notice Eric’s arrival if I wait here right..

　Thinking like that I sit on a suitable bench.

　Maybe they were hungry since it’s noon, or maybe they were tired after playing in the water fountain, but there are no children around.

　And possibly because it’s lunchtime, the flow of people coming and going changes toward the south.

　Burly, muscular men who might be working in a construction-related job are walking toward the south main street happily side by side.

「What’s for today?」

「After such a physical labor it has to be meat right.」

「Then, how about Wushi’s skewer?」

「Aah, that’s right. Just thinking about it made me hungry already. Imma have some booze along with the Wushi’s skewer.」

「Stuーpid. It’s still daytime, you should wait till night if you want to drink some booze.」

「I know..」\n　A bit further behind them, there are women with red faces looking at them.

　Could it be that they’re being embarrassed seeing the men being lightly dressed.. Those women are huddling together and letting out shrill noises.

「………those bulging muscles and tanned skin..」

「……the dazzling gloss due to sweat and grease. And――」

「「And to think that they’re being close while being lightly dressed like that!」」

　……………….

　I thought for a moment that the women in the royal capital are the innocent-type, please give me back my feelings.

　There are a lot of bold and strong women just like in the countryside like Koryatt village.

　Certainly, there are also lovely girls that could even make flowers blush just like Ema-oneesama, but they are endangered species1. They are a rare existence.www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

　Even though I thought that I could see an unusual spectacle of women blushing, who blush when they see the men’s light clothes.

　I’ve been worried since the time of the noble’s exchange meeting, but I think those degenerates have already run rampant to the royal capital…….

　The people who have finished buying lunch came in succession to this plaza with food in their hands, while I’ve been reclining on the bench waiting for Eric for some time

　After all, this plaza is a place where there are places where you can sit on like the benches or the water fountain’s edge, so there will be a lot of people having lunch here.www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

「Ah, excuse me. Can we sit next to you?」

「……..feel free.」

「……..thank you very much.」

　A listless man accompanied by a woman came and called out to me.

　They’re probably a couple.

　Naturally, since I’ve been having this bench all to myself so there’s no other way than to obediently sit at the edge of the bench this time.

　In this world, and just like in Japan, no one would eat while standing if there are strangers sitting near to you2. So whether it’s a couple or a stranger that sat down next to you, you should also sit down without hesitation.  www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com\n　That’s how it is. But as expected, there seems to be no one who made the elderlies stand.

　And just like that, the plaza became crowded with people as fragrant smells of food were drifting throughout the place.

　Because I overslept in the morning and skipped breakfast, the smells feel like hell to me. And the man next to me is eating Wushi’s meat.

　The smell of the tare sauce and spices are so strong. I stared at it unconsciously, but then I quickly came to myself and looked in front of me. Nevertheless, the mouthwatering smell still drifts toward me. Even so, getting stood up while waiting for Eric is tiring. There’s no other way but to be patient. When Eric comes later, I’ll immediately buy Wushi’s meat skewer. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com 「…………here.」

　When I decided like that in my mind, a Wushi’s meat skewer was held out in front of my eyes.

　The person who offered it to me, is the man with the listless-looking eyes sitting next to me.

　Holding a Wushi’s meat skewer in his mouth, he pushed out the meat skewer with his right hand towards me.

　He’s looking in front of him, not at me. Looking at his eyes, I truly have no idea what he’s thinking.

「…….if you don’t eat it, then I will eat it you know?」

「……..thank you very much. I’ll gratefully accept it.」

「………mmm.」

「………that’s, my portion right?」

「…….it’s fine isn’t it.」

　Why is this guy replying with something unrelated?　the woman and I look at each other while thinking like that. Maybe the woman has been going out with the man for a long time, she leaned her body on the chair looking as if she already resigned herself. It appears that she decided not to care about it. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

　Me too, just having lunch together is good. When I tried to guess by looking at the surroundings, the true meaning of the man’s words became immediately apparent.

　Then I took the Wushi’s meat skewer, took a bite out of it and directed my line of sight straight to the front.

「Certainly, that’s a fine one isn’t it.」

「…….you understand it, huh」

「Yes」

「……..really, what is it…….」

　With a look as if she was exasperated, the woman followed our gaze.

\n　In the opposite direction, the man is rubbing his cheek while secretly removing something like a liquid from his drowsy eyes. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

　It looks like it was quite painful.

「That’s why, you shouldn’t be tempted by something like that lump of mass okay?　What’s important is their character. It’s not good to choose someone based on their outward appearance alright?」

「……yes.」

　There’s no need to ask why she put some excessively biting remarks about breasts. Because if I say it, then it is likely that the color of fall will bloom on me. Even though it’s still spring.

　Therefore in order to not spoil her mood, for the time being let’s just reply to her to show that I’m paying attention.

　Maybe the woman feels that it’s enough, she starts talking while twirling her own hair.

「Even so, it’s amazing there is such handsome and beautiful couple.」

　No, I mean, if the two of you don’t have such dead-eyes, I think you can both also be considered as handsome and beautiful couples. Though it’s been ruined by your gestures and the look in your eyes.

　Eii, dude. Please don’t pick your nose. Geez, your good looks are ruined.

「No matter how much you dream of it, even if you yearns for it, in the end it is normal to compromise.」

　The woman said that with a profound look on her face.

　She might be feeling unhappy with her boyfriend next to her.

「…….I guess we will have to compromise eventually.」

「Oi, just where are you looking at? 　Look at my chest and say it again!?」

「……the, there’s……nothing!」

「Who do you mean there’s nothing!」

「No!　I don’t mean your chest!」

「Nobody said anything about my chest!」

　Uh, I’ve had enough. This couple. I don’t know why, but I can’t watch anymore. I wonder why?

　I just stood still at the side, giving this fighting couple who was going *gyaagyaa*4 a sidelong glance so that no sparks would fly my way.

　……..will Eric come quickly.
