I Became a Foreigner Loved by Transcendentalists

Episode 74. Well, that could be the case.

I felt concerned in many ways, but in the end, Airi also gave permission.

For now, I thought it would be okay to do whatever I wanted, so I relaxed and headed toward the meeting place.

To Marylin, who was waiting for me there, wearing the same clothes as before.

“You’re here, Mr. Hyosung.”

“Sorry, it took a while.”

“No, it’s okay. I haven’t seen you for a long time, but I can wait for a little while.”

Marilyn glances at me as she says that.

As I continued to do that, I noticed that the smile on his lips also became clearer.

“The outfit is different from before… hehehe, maybe it’s because Hyosung is wearing it, but you look cool wearing it now~”

Compliments that focus on me, not my clothes.

Around the time she felt her face getting itchy, she looked down at her black cloaked body and began to express her regrets.

“On the other hand, in my case, I didn’t even think about changing my clothes… …. Would it have been better to change into something nicer?”

“Oh, no. Are you okay. “Anyway, we met today to have a light meal.”

“A light meal, are you really planning to end today’s meeting with just that?”

“Yes?”

“Well, it’s been a while since we’ve seen each other, so I want to be happy about today’s reunion and spend more meaningful time together. For example… ….”

Marylin trailed off for a moment and placed her mouth next to my ear.

After that, she felt embarrassed by her continued whispering, and without even realizing it, she ended up venting her embarrassment at her.

“…Marilyn.”

I forgot about it for a moment.

She is someone who knows how to actively joke about these things.

“hehehe, it’s just a joke~”

No matter how much of a joke it is, it’s not very nice to make a joke like this.

She didn’t know how to express her dissatisfaction, so I suppressed her words, so she quickly turned her back on me and started walking down the street in front of me.

“Okay. There’s no point in wasting time, so let’s start with eating… …. “Mr. Hyosung, is there a place you can recommend?”

“Can I decide?”

“Unfortunately, I am not from the Empire. “I’m used to coming to an unfamiliar place, but the last time I came, I stopped by for a moment and left the place, so I feel unfamiliar with the geography of this place.”

After all, even if you are a traveler, you can’t know everything about a new place you visit.

So, thinking that it would be right for me to lead today’s relationship, I started to follow her, looking at the familiar sign beyond her.

“There is a good restaurant nearby. “It’s a little pricey, but I can probably pay for it.”

“How can it be that Mr. Hyosung also treats me to a meal?”

“It’s been a while since we met, so of course I should treat you well. “I’m sure Ms. Marylin will be satisfied as she was very satisfied the last time I went there with Ms. Airi.”

It’s expensive, but it’s worth it. And.

As she smiled, imagining how happy Mary Lynn would be, she noticed that Mary Lynn’s steps, which had been walking down her street, had stopped for a moment.

“With Airi…?”

“…Marilyn?”

“Who is Airi?”

“Oh, that means…….”

An answer that suddenly cuts off.

At the cold feeling on her face as she looked back at me, I even felt like my heart had stopped for a moment.

No, my heart didn’t stop, it was beating slowly.

In this brief moment, the look in her eyes that I met was so clearly imprinted in my eyes.

“Mr. Hyosung.”

But even that moment of silence seemed annoying.

She was speaking to me again as time passed.

“Who is Airi?”

The moment I belatedly came to my senses from the repeated questions.

After I relaxed the tension that had been overtaking me for some unknown reason, I answered her words with difficulty.

“Well, he’s a gourmet.”

I don’t know why.

An answer that I would call probably the best I could give in this situation.

“If you are a restaurant guest, do you mean you are staying at Hyoseong’s house?”

“Ah, yes. Yes, but… ….”

Why?

Why is Marylin suddenly looking at me like that, and why am I pressing my body so close to her even though we only made eye contact?

Could it be that I stepped on a landmine without my knowledge?

“Hmm, really?”

Marylin belatedly shares her feelings when she feels anxious about it.

After that, she quickly looked away from me and a smile appeared on her lips.

“Well, that could be possible.”

A light voice that contrasts with the previous cold feeling.

There was no sense of unique playfulness or pretense there.

As if, just for this moment, she was a different person.

“Marilyn? What did you just say…….”

“Eight!”

The moment she became concerned about that, Marylin rushed to her side.

She was taken aback by the sudden action, but at that time, Marylin was already holding onto my arm and clinging to me.

“hehehe, shall we go right away then?”

“Hey, Ms. Marilyn. Her arms suddenly crossed…….”

“What do you think? It’s been a while since we’ve seen each other, so this is okay, right?”

As she said that, Mary Lynn leaned her head on her arm.

She felt something soft touching her here and there as they pushed her body closer, but she tried to pretend she was okay and started moving her steps where she had stopped.

“Okay, then… I’ll go.”

“hehehe, thank you~”

For Marylin, who moved forward with me and expressed her small gratitude, her previous fierceness had disappeared like a lie.

It’s as if the feeling itself is an illusion.

As if to silently emphasize it.

****

No, it’s not just my mood.

No matter how much experience I have with women, I am not tactless enough to not know what kind of feelings Marylin has for me.

In the first place, he left and came back leaving such a letter.

Wouldn’t it be strange to think that I don’t have any feelings for myself?

“The name of the restaurant here is Space-Time Storm. “It’s something special.”

“Ahahahaha, yes. “It’s a very unusual name.”

As much as I cared about her, at this moment when I sat across from her in her restaurant, I couldn’t help but feel her complicated feelings while looking at her still smiling.

When I received her letter in the past, I even dreamed of a special relationship with her, but now I had sorted out my feelings for her and was dreaming of a new relationship with her.

Yes, there was a lot of commotion before she came face to face with Marylin, so she had no choice but to be careful about this part.

The look in her eyes from before was enough to make me feel so alert.

“Well, then I’m a bit bored just eating… Would it be a good idea to order some drinks?”

Just as she was making up her mind, Marylin quietly asked her while looking at her menu.

She came to her senses and looked into her eyes, and I could see in her eyes that she was smiling, not knowing her true intentions.

“You mean alcohol?”

“Today is a day to celebrate reunion. “I think it’s good to have a drink to celebrate.”

“Oh, well, I guess drinking today will be difficult.”

Her expectations were met with a disappointing answer given to her.

But it was unavoidable.

Until I came here, Airi was worried that I might get drunk and cause an accident.

“Do you hate alcohol?”

“That’s not true, but I think it will be difficult to drink today.”

“… “Then I have no choice.”

Marilyn expresses her disappointment, but reluctantly accepts it.

I thought it was fortunate that we passed without any trouble, so I placed my order with the waiter who came later and had a chat with Marilyn.

Most of them were about the latest news sent by each other.

In my case, I briefly describe the achievements she made while working as an adventurer, and in Marylin’s case, I briefly describe her journey from safely submitting her resignation to my lord and returning to her empire.

“Because the world is so chaotic, I am late in returning.”

Although I don’t know exactly what happened, I’m trying to summarize many details, but I’m sure he went through a lot of hardships.

The words that followed at the end of the story vaguely revealed such concerns.

“… Ahahahaha, I’m glad you came back safely.”

“Yes, that’s right. “It’s a little late, but we can start over now, right?”

A bright smile and an expectant question.

I couldn’t give any answer to that and could only pass it off as a vague smile.

I can’t believe I’m starting over from now on.

I have already sorted out her feelings for her and am continuing to meet her new person.

If she found out about my situation, would she be able to show me the same smile she has now?

“The food you ordered has arrived.”

Luxurious food is gradually set on the table when you feel anxious.

Eventually, Marylin stopped the conversation, holding her fork and knife as if she had been waiting, and began to turn her attention to the food that had been set out.

“hehehe, then, let’s talk about what each other is up to, shall we have a quick meal?”

Mary Lynn cutting a well-done veal steak with the knife in her hand.

Afterwards, she took the carefully cut piece with a fork and opened her mouth, bringing the tip to her mouth.

Naturally, like water flowing from her mouth, not her own.

“Now, Hyosung. Ah~”

Afterwards, Mary Lynn opened her mouth and made a sound as if telling her to follow her.

I felt my face getting tickled by that action, and my eyes began to unconsciously turn to the surroundings.

“Marilyn. Well, I said it last time, but doing something like this in a public place is a bit…….”

“I’m not doing this to just anyone. “Because it’s Hyosung.”

“… ….”

“… “We just met again, so it’s okay to do this, right?”

Mary Lynn smiled humbly despite my embarrassment and held out the fork in her hand even more.

Her hand gestures, which had not been forced when we first met, were now more proactive than before.

As if to teach me that even though we have been separated for over 3 months, what she felt from spending those days with me has not faded.

“… “It’s only today.”

I couldn’t resist her feelings and ate her steak, and as she watched her reaction, she smiled and put a new piece on her fork.

“Now then, Mr. Hyosung. One more bite… …. Town?”

But are you going to suffer like this?

I took advantage of her open mouth and cut a piece of her steak and put it in her mouth, and she started staring at me with a surprised look on her face.

“This is where I brought you in the first place. “She came here to serve food to Mary Lynn, but it would be a problem if she didn’t eat it, right?”

The moment she burst out laughing and quickly removed the fork from her mouth.

As I was staring at her like that, Marylin swallowed the meat in her mouth and stared at me.

“Is it delicious?”

“…… “Yes, yes.”

Is it because I never thought I would come out like this?

She, whose voice was uncharacteristically trembling, soon lowered her head and answered quietly.

“It’s very delicious. “I guess it’s because Hyosung fed me, more…”

It was as if the voice was crawling, but even so, it was impossible to hide all of the emotions.

More than eating what you gave yourself.

The fact that I fed him meat is considered even more special.

“… Thank god. “You are satisfied.”

The fact that I feel satisfied just by looking at her like that probably means that I haven’t completely let go of my lingering feelings for her.

Even though I can’t give priority to her in front of me, her heart just wants her to be satisfied…….

I don’t know what would happen to her relationship with her after that, but her heart was sincere in wanting her to be happy.

“Excuse me?”

As we were sitting down to eat together in a friendly manner, a waiter came between me and Marylin.

After that, he put something on the table and began to move his hand toward a corner of the restaurant.

“The gentleman over there told me to deliver this.”

“… “This?”

When I turned around feeling suspicious, there was a middle-aged man wearing a fedora.

He swept his long hair, covered his coat deeply, stood up from his seat, and began to walk towards the exit of the restaurant.

I felt strangely familiar from the back……. No, that can’t be true.

Why would that vampire come out of here all of a sudden? She smiled and opened the envelope on the table, where I was greeted by two tickets and familiar words.

[Young man, I prepared a small gift for you as a reward for showing me something good at a restaurant I frequent for breakfast. I hope you have a good time with that young lady.]

Holy sh*t.

It would be a mistake to use the expression “Morning” In the evening.

“Ah, hahahaha. “It seems like there is someone who viewed me favorably.”

The moment when she was taken aback by the fact that the vampire was indeed a regular at this restaurant and that she had come with Mary Lynn, not Airi.

I said it with a vague smile, trying not to show it, but in reality, Marylin’s gaze was not directed at the ticket in my hand, but towards the exit of the restaurant.

She erased the smile from her mouth and followed him with the amber eyes she had shown me before.

“…There doesn’t seem to be any harm, should we just put it on hold for now?”

“Marilyn?”

“Oh, I’m sorry. “I care about the person who did us a favor.”

Marilyn changes the mood again and smiles.

It would be a lie if I said I wasn’t bothered by such a twist in the atmosphere, but I decided to move on without worrying about it for now.

No matter what happens afterward, Airi must have let me go, trusting that I would return safely.

“Well, looking at the ticket, it looks like it’s a ticket to an opera being held nearby. “Then you said you had until night time, right?”

“Yes, if it’s okay with you, Marylin, together…” ….”

Yes, Airi gave permission, so it will be okay for now.

She said that unless the ‘whims of a transcendent being’ that she had warned her about time and time again did not occur, the predicted future would not go astray…
