Since then, the couple's lover's quarrel has ended when the man managed to stand up and show his sincerity.

　Even she would flinch if he bowed that seriously.

　It was even lightly touching to see the man walk away from her at the end. He had shown the man one last time.

　There was still some damage to his body, though, and his legs were shaking like a newborn fawn.

　Since then, those two have been walking hand in hand here and there, having tea and conversation in a nice, stylish, atmospheric restaurant.

　-- all on the man's dime, I'm sure.


　The square is very wide and open, so if you wait here, you'll notice Eric's arrival.

　With that in mind, I sit down on a suitable couch.

　Around noon, there are no children in sight, either because they are hungry or because they are tired of playing in the fountain.

　Maybe it was lunchtime, but the flow of people was changing to the south.

　A group of muscular men, who must be doing power construction work, are walking happily, shoulder-to-shoulder, south to Main Street.

'What can I get for you today?'

I'm gonna need some meat to do the heavy lifting.

What's that, a Wuxi spit?

'Yeah, right. I'm getting hungry just thinking about it. I'll have a drink with a wussy skewer and a gulp of alcohol.

f*ck you. It's not even noon, you can't have a drink until the night.

I know.

　And a little bit behind them, the women are looking at it and their cheeks are stained.

　Are they embarrassed by the men's light clothing? The women are huddled together and shouting yellow.

''........raised muscles and tanned skin.''

"....dazzling in its luster from sweat and grease. And--

I didn't know they could stick together in such thin clothing!

　............

　I want you to return my feelings of wondering if the women of King's Landing are pure hearted, even for a moment.

　In the countryside, like in the village of Colliat, women are often strong and bold.

　Of course, there are not a few dainty maidens like sister Emma who are also ashamed of their flowers, but they are like natural monuments. They are rarely there.

　So I thought I had seen a bit of a fresh sight against the women who blush at the sight of a man's thin clothes.

　I'd been worried since the nobleman's exchange, but I hadn't realized that the rotten people had spread to the royal capital....

　While I was leaning on a couch for a while waiting for Eric, people who had finished buying lunch came to this square with food in their hands.
　The plaza, with its couches, seating fountains, and other places to relax and unwind, becomes more crowded during lunchtime.

Oh, excuse me. Do you mind if I sit next to you?

Come in.

Thank you very much.

　A somewhat languid man calls out to me with a woman.

　It was probably a couple.

　Naturally, I had the couch all to myself, but this time I couldn't help but feel small at the edge of the couch.

　In this world, people don't stand up to eat rather than have a stranger sitting next to them like in Japan. Whether you are a couple or a stranger is sitting next to you, you sit down without hesitation.

　That is the way it is. It is true that no one makes the old man stand up, though.

　In no time at all, the square was filled with people, and the whole place was filled with a fragrant smell.

　I'm sleeping in and pulling out of the morning, which smells like hell to me. Next to me, a man is eating a wussy skewer of meat.

　The smell of spices and sauce is violent. I watch it unconsciously, but then I come to my senses and look forward. Even so, I could still smell the delicious aroma. But that doesn't mean I'm tired of standing there and waiting for Eric. There's no choice but to be patient. When Eric arrives, let's go to buy some wussy skewers as soon as possible.

'...............Here.

　As I made that decision in my mind, a skewer of wussy meat was presented in front of me.

　The person who held it out to me was the languid-eyed man who sat down next to me a moment ago.

　He thrusts his right hand toward me with his right hand as he takes a bite of the oozy skewer.

　His gaze is looking straight ahead, not towards me. Its eyes have no idea what it's thinking.

''Well if you won't eat it, then I'll eat it?

"...thank you very much. I'll take it.

...hmmm.

That's my spit, right?

...a good one.

　What's with the man's unanswered reply?　The woman and I looked at each other. The woman leaned back against the backrest, as if she'd known me for a long time, and she seemed to have decided not to worry about it. She seems to have decided not to bother with it.

　Me, too, it's nice to have lunch with everyone. I guessed that it was around the corner, but the true meaning of the word soon became apparent.

　Then I took the wussy skewer and bit into the meat, fixing my gaze on it straight away.

'That was certainly a good one,'

You understand?

Yes, sir.

"...so what's the point...

　The woman follows our gaze with a dumbfounded look on her face.

''........Ah!　You were looking at that woman's breasts just now, weren't you!

No, I didn't see him.

Well that's a hell of an accusation.

Absolutely.

　Even though we were complete strangers who had just met each other, our breaths were perfect for each other.

　Out of the corner of our eye, a couple and a child were sitting around the fountain.

'For all intents and purposes, we're a close family of three, aren't we?

"...that kid with the nice smile on his face and in my arms I would change if I could.

　I'll pretend I didn't hear the little voice that blurted out at the end because of the man's compassion. Yes, I know the feeling.

''Fuuun I thought you were staring at that beautiful wife's big breasts as well.

I mean, no.

It's a big one nonetheless. What size is it?　About eighty-six?

"'It's eighty-nine!　............ah.




　× X X X


　After that, the man had autumn leaves on his cheeks.

　Of course, I'm not a lover or a friend, I'm just a kid with no relationship to him, so I didn't get yanked, but I had to get whispered to.

　Currently, the man and the woman have swapped positions, as it was determined that it would have a negative impact on me.

　On the other side, a man rubs his cheek with a slight drip in his sleepy eyes.

　Apparently it was quite painful.

'So, you know, you shouldn't fawn over a lump of fat like that, right?　People are inside. You can't choose someone based on their appearance, you know?

Yes.

　I'm not going to tell you why I'm talking about my chest in such a thorny way. If I tell them, I might make the autumn leaves bloom too. It's only spring.

　So I'll just give her an appropriate response so as not to spoil her mood.

　Then, the woman was satisfied, and began to talk about it, twisting and turning her hair.

''But then again, it's amazing that there's a beautiful couple like that.

　No, I think you two would be quite a beautiful couple if your eyes weren't so dead. The way you look and act is ruining a lot of things for me, though.

　Hey, man. Don't pick your nose. You've already ruined a good-looking man.

"No matter how much we dream and admire them, we always end up compromising in the end.

　The woman says this with a deeply emotional look on her face.

　She's probably not happy with her boyfriend next to her.

'Well I guess we'll have to compromise in the end.

Hey, where did you see that?　I told you to look at my breasts!

No, that's not... no!

No one's missing!

'No!　It's not about the breasts!

No one said anything about breasts!

　I hate it. This couple. I don't know why I can't stand to look at them. I don't know why.

　I just stood there, with my eyes on the couple jostling each other beside me, trying to keep the fire sparks from flying away.

　........I can't wait for Eric to come to me.
