LIGHTNOVELSTORY chapter 441
Side Story 2-Fear and Hunger (1)
“Johan, would you like to take a walk around the garden before we go?”
“It’s a garden…It’s nice.”
Karina and I changed our path and walked out into the garden.
Quartz Street’s garden, which I hadn’t seen in a long time, still had a strange atmosphere, but recently, someone had started taking care of it, so there were more colorful flowers than before.
“It’s been a while since I took a walk in the garden like this.”
“Is that so?”
“The last place I went was a desert.”
“Well…I didn’t have to see any flowers there.”
“Except for just one flower.”
“Oh, that flower?”
“Are you looking for this flower?”
An arm wrapped around my neck and a soft feel wrapping around the back of my neck. I smiled and held the hands held out behind my back.
“Elisa. “Are you done with the Magic Society?”
“I came back because I didn’t have any interesting papers today.”
“The Magic Society seems to be in a bad mood these days.”
“It is not time for major research to produce results yet.”
I guess so.
Well, it will take a few more years to complete a useful research project.
“Johannim…How long do you plan on staying here?”
“I’m just thinking of going back after doing some errands.”
“Really?”
“I’m thinking of going to see Sister Feimin. Shall we go together?”
“I have nothing to do, so I’ll follow you.”
With those words, the arm that was hugging my neck disappeared, and Elisa’s figure appeared next to me in a hazy haze.
Elisa looked up at me, smiled, and said, hugging her arms.
“Let’s go.”
“Okay. Let’s go.”
We crossed the garden and headed to the room where Faymin and Hazel would be.
To be exact, it is connected to the room where the two live.
——————-
“Who are you~?”
“I am.”
“Oh. “It’s you guys~?”
A voice that was not much different even after decades had passed came from beyond the door. Finally, when the door opened, we were greeted by Feimin, who, unlike before, was not wearing a straitjacket.
“It’s been a long time.”
“I never thought there would come a day in my life when I would be the first to be greeted by the head of the family. I am truly touched.”
Feimin waved his arms in his fuss. It seemed like he was very happy that I had come as he was moving noisily.
To be precise, I am happy with the item in my hand.
“This is the K I bought on the way. It was quite expensive.”
“Oh, thank you! “I’ve been craving something sweet lately~”
Fei Min took the case box I handed her and ran towards her table, humming. It was a very cute movement, but Hazel, the victim of that cute movement, screamed.
“Be careful. “You did it, right?”
“Isn’t the problem that my sister was there?”
“What?”
“But how difficult is it to avoid lying on the floor?”
“Are you going to fight?”
The two of you have become very close.
I watched my Karina giggle as she watched the sisters bickering.
“You two have become very close.”
“That’s right.”
“In the past, the mansion would have been half destroyed.”
In the past, the twins were not seen as sisters but almost as enemies.
I made five chairs and a table, placed it in the middle of the room, and knocked on the table twice.
“Both of you, please stop and sit down. “I bought a delicious cake, shouldn’t I eat it?”
“Of course~ I guess I should try some cake~”
Fortunately, Feimin and Hazel stopped fighting for an unknown number of times after hearing my words and calmly sat down in front of the table and picked up their forks.
“Where should I go for cake this time?”
“This is a cake from Carmenza Bakery. There were quite a lot of people.”
Perhaps because the world is so peaceful these days, hobbies such as cooking and snacks are popular.
I guess I was able to get it because I was a person of some status. I got a dessert that even the most noble people would have to wait several days to get, and when I put it in the mouths of the two sisters, their faces softened faster than usual.
“It’s delicious~”
“It’s sweet. It feels like my brain is melting~”
“I’m glad it’s delicious.”
“I’m glad it suits your taste.”
“As expected, I have to take good care of my nephew~”
What kind of nonsense.
Oh, so you ate it?
“But nephew, what happened today~? “You usually only come on weekends, right~?”
“Because my granddaughters want to play. I came early this week because I was planning to go out on the weekend. “I arrived quickly because I was able to find some interesting items.”
I smiled happily as I remembered my grandchildren clinging to my legs.
Cute things.
Where should I take you this time?
“They’re granddaughters~ We can’t even dream~ I’m jealous~”
“Oh my, that’s you… “
“Sister, will you shut up?”
“Paimin, Hazel. “Don’t fight.”
“…Are you not interested in interesting objects?”
“Isn’t this something to give to your granddaughter?”
“That’s not it. “I brought this item because it seems to be related to the two of you…”
I carefully took the item out of my pocket and held it out to the two people. Feimin and Hazel’s faces hardened when they saw the items I gave them, and they asked me.
“How did you get this, my nephew?”
“I thought this was gone.”
“Didn’t we tell you this before? I heard you lived nearby. “I happened to stop by, so I went there… And it was there.”
“…Yeah?”
Feimin carefully accepted the item I gave him and then blinked.
“This is…”
“Now a new building has been built on top of it.”
“…I see…”
“Do you still remember?”
“Sister, did you really forget~?”
“Well~”
Hazel stared blankly at the ceiling in response to Feimin’s sharp question.
I looked at that figure blankly and quietly asked a question.
“What happened in the past to cause something like that to happen?”
“Day? Umm…It’s a bit hard to tell my nephew~”
“If you don’t want to tell me, you don’t have to.”
“No~ It’s been over 100 years now… I wonder when it happened… “
Feimin began to reveal to us his past that he had not told us about
