My Friend’s Harem Is Obsessed With Me

20. meal

“Why, why are you crying?”

When I suddenly started to sob and cry, I checked my surroundings without realizing it. Fortunately, there were no students nearby, probably because it was late in the evening.

“No, it is great. Sorry.”

Ha-yoon also apologizes, as if he understands my absurd feelings. However, the tears did not stop and continued to flow.

‘What should I do with this.’

I wanted to do something, but I didn’t know what to do. I’m not proud of it, but in my previous life, until I was 18, Rin was the only one who had contact with a woman who was not part of my family.

After that, he worked as a Sherpa in the forest of the Demon World until he was 28 years old, and at the last minute, when he heard Eris, an elf, propose, he at least noticed her feelings.

In a situation where it would be much easier to deal with a rough beast, Ha-yoon didn’t want to, but he gave me an answer.

growl

“……”

“……”

Ha-yoon’s tears stopped flowing.

Even in the dark, I could clearly see that my eyes were blushing, but even my face was flushed red from the sound from a moment ago.

“Are you hungry?”

okay.

Even if I cry and feel sad, I am still hungry.

I know that feeling.

After being expelled from my previous life, I cried a lot while riding in a carriage alone, but by evening, I was pathetically hungry. After writing a disgraceful false name, he ate too much to live again.

“Uh-huh, let’s go eat together now.”

I feel bad for leaving behind a crying girl, and as an adult, I feel sorry for why she is doing this while she is hungry.

Often, people who entered the Forest of the Demon Realm in undesirable circumstances also rescued them in this way. Of course, I was paid a corresponding price later.

“……”

Seeing her standing tall, whether hesitating or not, I let out a sigh.

“Even if you went to the dormitory now, the restaurant and all the doors were closed. Are you going to eat chocolate cake for dinner?”

Although the cafe lights are still on, it is highly likely that the desserts were all gone by this time.

Hearing that far, Hayun shuts her mouth and stands behind me.

“I’m going to eat soup.”

“yes……”

“I’ll order it myself, so if there’s something you can’t eat, tell me when you order it.”

“Okay……”

It was definitely a cool and confident feeling, but when I faced it like this, why did it remind me of Eve? It seemed that the tears and growls from earlier had ruthlessly trampled on her confidence.

‘Just looking at it, it seems that he continued to swing his sword after the exam.’

Of course, his hands were rough due to excessive training, and he had a small amount of blood along with the wounds. It means that even though he must have had calluses because he was a kid who used to wield a sword, he swung it enough to crush it all.

“Do you have a wallet?”

“Yeah, I have something.”

Hayoon lifts the distinctive red pouch hanging from her waist.

“Is that a wallet?”

“I made it myself.”

Looking at Hayoon talking proudly, he turned around and went outside with a snort. Some time passed, and all the good restaurants were closing, so I turned around.

“Let’s go over there.”

“yes?”

Looking at the store I pointed to, Hayoon gets flustered. Because it was a bar, not a regular restaurant.

Hayoon hesitated as if he was embarrassed, but I went inside without paying much attention.

In the noisy tavern, the eyes are stuck. It seemed strange to see two people who looked like students at first glance enter, but I sat down at an empty table, and Ha-yoon sat across from me while paying attention.

“Can I come in here?”

“Why not? This is also a restaurant.”

“But it’s a pub…”

“Are you going to drink?”

“It’s not like that.”

“Then it doesn’t matter.”

It only sells alcoholic beverages and has long business hours, but this place is also classified as a restaurant anyway. In the first place, even children who wander outside for adventure come to the bar to eat when they are hungry at night.

“This is a restaurant.”

“……Have you ever been there?”

“once”

I came here to eat once when I missed dinner.

After ordering a hot pot with meat, I asked for a bandage and received it.

“Wrap this around your hand.”

“uh?”

“You can’t even hold tableware properly with that hand right now. Don’t make an impression while eating. Close it and eat it.”

His expression makes me wonder why there are bandages in the restaurant.

In a place like a bar where alcohol is exchanged, you never know what will happen, so you always have items that can be used for first aid.

“You pay for the bandages.”

Of course, I had no intention of giving it to the owner, who reached out in front of me. Ha-yoon took a few coins out of her small pocket.

Then he started to bandage his hand here and there, but when he tried to do it with one hand, it made a fuss with his teeth, so I just did it.

“you’re good.”

“I used to do it when my customers were hurt.”

“sir?”

“There is such a thing.”

Since you never know when or where you might get hurt in the demonic forest, the way to bandage was the basic of the basics. You can assume that you know how to do almost all first aid.

“……Something seems very mature.”

‘Because I’m 28.’

It’s not like a student to come into a bar, order food, and then buy bandages.

“I’ll pay for the food, too.”

“It’s okay, I’ll buy it with the money I got.”

“Coupon money?”

I’ll eat well, dean.

I was grateful that I was able to live a prosperous life for a while with a few pocket money extorted from the dean yesterday.

“So may I ask why you were crying?”

There is nothing to say while waiting for food, so I put my chin on my chin and ask Ha-yun, and she blushes again and lowers her head.

‘You don’t seem to want to say much.’

It didn’t seem like a simple reason why he lost to me today.

“I don’t know what it is, but don’t just swing your sword carelessly like today. It’s hard on the body and there’s no effect. On the contrary, if you swing your sword in a collapsed posture, you will only develop strange habits.”

“……”

Hayun nodded saying that it was true.

It was a reaction that she already knew, but if it was, there was some reason why she had to do it even though she knew it.

It seemed like he didn’t want to talk, so it went on naturally.

“Are you good at making pie?”

It was a random topic, but she nodded her head with a small smile of pride.

“Yeah, I can make it now.”

“Huh?”

At that time, Ha-yun did not look like she was very good at cooking, so she had a puzzled expression, but Ha-yun proudly opened her chest and said.

“I’m on the dexterous side, so after a little practice, I was able to do it right away.”

“Ah, did you say that you made that pocket-like wallet too?”

It was a really thoughtless topic.

When I awkwardly keep my mouth shut until the food is served, I said it because I and he felt embarrassed for each other, but Hayoon’s numb eyes suddenly brightened.

“That’s right. In my mother’s hometown, it’s called a lucky bag, but I made it as a motif. Besides that, this too.”

A thin bracelet made of string that he wears on his wrist is also shown. It was a pretty pretty bracelet with a mixture of black and white lines.

“I made this too.”

“Hoo.”

Things that can be sold just by looking at them.

I thought he had only a talent for swordsmanship, but he seemed to like making ornaments like this.

‘No, rather…’

While we were having a conversation, a hot pot boiling in a huge pot came out.

It was even more delicious when I thought it was the hotpot that the dean had fired. To be honest, I almost ordered a draft beer without realizing it, but I managed to bear it.

“Wow, I ate well.”

“Really full.”

A satisfied smile was built right in the heart of the reassuring and warm feeling. It’s a bonus to get a restaurant certification to the point where Hayun says thank you for bringing it.

As I was going back to the academy like that, Hayun cautiously asked.

“Here it is. What’s going on with Ares?”

“yes?”

“No, it seems like the two of you suddenly stopped pretending to know each other.”

“We didn’t even say hello in the academy before?”

“That is by the way. For some reason, I think we’ve fallen apart more than that.”

It’s sharp.

Thinking that there was no need to hide it, I replied that it was true.

“I found out after coming here that we are not as close as we thought. I didn’t want to be friends with you until you begged for it.”

In my previous life, Ares, who didn’t even greet me at the academy, secretly came to my room at night and talked to me that I couldn’t.

It’s stupid.

I didn’t want to crave friendship in the position of a friend that I couldn’t let go because I was sorry, so I just let it go.

“I see.”

A smirk leaked out as he watched Ha-yoon, who didn’t delve into it any further, perhaps because he understood it in his own way.

“Hey, where’s that child so good? He’s handsome, but honestly, other girls are so close together, do you want to wear them?”

I was asking if he loved me enough to have to fight with his friends over nudges.

still 18 years old. Because it was a fresh time when I could sufficiently misunderstand love and other emotions.

“Well, if it’s something you really like, I’ll cheer for you, but think about it seriously. Still, as someone who has known each other for a long time, you are the one who has the least chance of winning.”

Short hair, but the same black hair as Rin. Although her appearance was slightly colder than Rin’s, and her facial expression changed less.

“I think if I go around smiling a little more, my impression will change.”

Then Ha-yoon looks at me and raises the corner of her mouth. For a moment, I thought I could hear a creak coming from my face. Not assembling anything.

“What do you think?”

“Hey, trying to force a smile is really bad. Just go blank.”

“……”

His expression is the same, but his eyes show that he is annoyed and swearing. Then, he sighs and steps slowly to hide his expression.

“What is this doing?”

It was a quiet night without any sound, so the girl’s complaints clearly reached my ears.
