Three People’s Soliloquies (David’s Coach Driver POV)
Translated by: chocolala
Proofread by: Kitje
I’ve been feeling like letting out a sigh more and more lately. So much so that I’m already thinking of resigning.
Today, I’ve brought David to Natcheil, and he’s been eating like crazy… No, he just can’t stop binge eating. He goes into every sweet shop he sees and comes out devouring every dessert he sees. It doesn’t matter if the people from the sweets shop are crying or screaming.
How did it happen?
I’m not sure, because I only heard the story from the servant at the mansion. The reason why the boy is eating like this is that he recently suffered from a broken heart. It seems that he has found someone that feels like his destined person, with whom he wants to be together and spend the rest of his life. Alas, that person already has a lover, which resulted in my young master loving someone who belongs to another.
Naturally, not only was he rejected harshly, but also he was disliked very much after their first meeting, and his love for the other was broken completely and utterly.
But, well…
According to this story, my young master fell in love with the man at first sight and confessed his love to him the instant they met—even though his lover was also there.
Of course, he would be rejected, no doubt! No matter how you think about it, there was no reason he wouldn’t be. There’s no one who’ll say yes when their lover is next to them, didn’t the young master realise that his lover was right there?
It’s like going out of your way to be hated. Confessing to someone you’ve just met is like saying to someone you’ve just met for the first time, “Please show me your dick right here and now!”
What a joke, seriously.
For that exact reason, my young master is now officially in a state of heartbreak. Originally, this person has always had a soft spot for sweets, which is why he eats huge amounts of them every day.
I wonder if that would make him fat, but I guess he must’ve possessed a magical constitution or something, so no matter how much he ate, there’s no change in his body shape. In fact, his skin had become more radiant.
Anyway, the heartbroken little boy is somehow distracting himself by eating sweets.
However…
Again, however…
I know the feeling of desperation to the point that he’d go binge eating. Well, I do. He has fallen in love at first sight, even to the point of confessing it.
But——
But——
Because of all the sweets you eat, all the sweets shops in Natcheil are complaining! And for some reason, they’re all complaining to me, when I’m only the coach driver! Somehow they all come to me! Yes, me! To me!
Try being complained about 10, 20, 30 times a day, every day. It’s depressing! I’m only human, you know? Why do I have to apologise every day for bad things that aren’t my fault and solemnly accept the scolding? Why do they scold me instead of my young master???? The one who eats all that is him, not me!! Why on earth should I be the one who gets all the scoldings??
Is it because of that after all? Because the young master is a nobleman, so all the complaints only come my way? I’m against social status discrimination!!
AHHH, I WANNA QUIT!!
I groaned in the empty carriage.
I hate this, I’m so tired already…
Oh, I miss my mum’s cooking back home…
And then the young master came back, apparently having eaten his fill of the sweets of Natcheil. He sat down in the carriage with a depressed look on his face. It seemed like he was still in a lot of pain from a broken heart.
Oh no, this means that tomorrow the little boy will be going to another round of sweets shops and I’ll be making another trip of apologies, NOOO! I might get sacked, but I’ll say a few words. Of course, I’ll be lucky if I get sacked!
“Young master,”
“What is it?”
“The pain of a broken heart can only be cured by a new love. You can eat all you want, but it will only fill your stomach. With a new love, you can get all the heart throbbing and happy-happy times. Once you obtain that, you’ll forget about that guy who didn’t turn their head at you in the past.”
In case you are wondering, I only said it randomly. While I said that only a brand new love can be the cure to a broken heart, I am a virgin. The duration I had no girlfriend equals my age. My partner for the night was exclusively my right hand.
Yeah, I mean, I bullshitted. I’m a jerk like that.
But for some reason, my words seemed to resonate with my young master.
“…”
My young master fell silent as if in deep thought, and then suddenly stood up.
“No more depression! No matter what! I’m going to find a new love!!!”
O-oh…
As he shouted that proclamation as though in full determination, he then said to me, “I’m going to have a Gulab Jamun1 now to cheer myself up.”
In the end, you just won’t end your binge-eating, will you?!
chocolala: These mini chapters are just so funny, as the title goes, it’ll be from 3 POVs, and full of their monologues, ENJOY! Btw, for this coach driver, in the latter part of the story, he kinda have a significant role, it left quite an impression to me when I read the novel.
