NOVEL NEXT chapter 42
42 – Coma (2)
After the veggie hot pot meal, me and Stella took a little walk around town before going to look at the furniture.
There was also a purpose to digest it, but
Because I wanted to hold hands with Stella and go on a date at least once.
Because there were so many people watching in that village, it was hard to walk around holding hands.
It’s not something to be ashamed of, but… It’s because the seniors and classmates are trying to bully them…
“Is it okay if I hold hands in the northern town?”
“hahahaha… I’m not okay.”
“Ugh…”
Stella pursed her lips in regret.
Seeing that, he smiled bitterly and stroked her hair lightly.
“But after the wedding, can’t we go outside holding hands?”
Some people are jealous because we haven’t gotten married yet.
Who can say anything about a married couple holding hands outside?
I wonder if Stella didn’t even think of it.
She went very quickly and her face lit up and she smiled broadly.
“I will!”
“Where did you put the duck mouth?”
“I put it in the moment Seo-Bang-nim spoke up!”
How can a person be this cute?
“Then shall we go look for furniture soon?”
“Yes! If you go back there, there is a place where merchants sell goods.”
“Then let’s go.”
***
I wonder if it’s because it’s the first time I’ve come to this world and seen a market.
Previously, Stella tried to run out like a child, but this time I tried to run out like a child.
Why?
When I first heard from Stella, I thought the place we were going was only for furniture dealers.
That wasn’t it.
We didn’t just sell furniture.
Swords and bows used by adventurers, and guns under development.
And even the food that looks delicious.
It was a market-like place where various things were sold.
So in the end, now I’m holding Stella’s hand tightly.
Whoever sees it will look like her brother who is holding her kind sister’s hand tightly.
Stella says she was more like a touchy child than she was when she was little and she took care of her younger siblings in an orphanage, she said.
“I guess Seo Bang-nim is also looking forward to it?”
“Kuhmm… It’s a bit embarrassing, but you’re going to look at the furniture for our newlyweds’ house, right?”
If I go to see the furniture for the house I will live in alone,
I wouldn’t have expected this far if I was going to buy a gift.
All in all, I was going to see the furniture for the house I would live in with Stella.
That’s what I’m looking forward to.
“Mr. West…”
Stella looks at me with eyes like the Mediterranean sea decorated with coral.
Whoever saw it, those eyes contained the meaning of wanting a kiss.
In an instant, she almost fell for her eyes, but it is definitely outside.
I swallowed and gently stroked her cheek.
“First, let’s take a look.”
“That…That’s right!”
Stella walks forward unnaturally like a wooden doll.
She almost laughed out loud when she saw that, but she held it back and laughed a little.
“Stella~ Let’s go together.”
“Seobang-nim just needs to walk quickly!”
Did you hear the laughter?
I think a little pout is cuter.
*
“Seobang, how do you like this table?”
The material seems to be made of wood, but the table was painted white to give it a modern and calm feel.
The chairs sold together also look sturdy and not bad.
“It would be perfect to put it next to the bed in the master bedroom. While drinking a cup of tea.”
“Right!? I think it would be perfect for wallpaper for our house. Boss!”
After nodding her head and sympathizing with her, Stella immediately called the merchant who had imported this furniture.
“Yes, I’m going.”
So, from a little far away, a man with a little belly came all the way to this place with sleek and beautiful movements that didn’t suit his body.
This place was a bit cramped even for me to come in…
It’s amazing.
“It is an honor for the family to have a saintess visit our store. Besides, her husband came with us.”
“Huh?”
“Why is that?”
Acting that we already know who we are.
I just came in quietly and looked at the furniture. How did he know that Stella was a saint?
“That’s right, there’s a rumor going around in the tourist district. The saintess and her husband came to buy furniture!”
“How did you know that rumor spread?”
I came lightly with the intention of dating, so there must have been no time for rumors to spread.
Stella also tilted her head and placed her fingers under her chin, as if she didn’t know what was going on behind the scenes.
She may think that she has a cool posture, but her husband, I, see it as a cute posture.
“Well? The merchants here don’t know anything.”
“Nothing! I’ve already figured out that you two are looking for white and black furniture!”
Where did you find out about our tastes?
The place where we talked about our taste in furniture…Come to think of it, we talked a lot in the restaurant.
There might have been someone like an informant at the village restaurant.
“Wow! Then you’ve got all the furniture, right?”
“Of course! Even so, among the furniture merchants in the Aylor Empire, the ones I brought must be of good quality.”
As if confident, the boss knocked his chest twice with his fist.
If you look at the furniture placed around you, there are definitely a lot of high-quality and pretty furniture.
“Wow… I hope there are a lot of things I like, right?”
“Yes. There are certainly a lot of pretty furniture…”
“In Aylor Empire, furniture with the atmosphere you like is popular.”
I heard that modern interiors are in vogue in Aylor Empire.
It seems that one of the members of the imperial family decorated his room in a modern style, so the sense of separation between him and the imperial family grew enormously.
Anyway, to do such an interior in the imperial castle.
He is a very interesting person.
I want to meet the kind of person you are.
“Now that this is the case, would you like to decorate our headquarters room in white and black?”
“Then, like the royalty of the empire, we’ll be talked about, right?”
“Ah…”
As expected, Stella quickly shakes her head as if she doesn’t like that.
That’s me too.
Who would want to spread such rumors to other distant neighboring countries?
In addition, Stella is the most influential person in the world.
The rumor that such a priest tuned the public space is not good.
“First of all, I think about decorating my house beautifully.”
“Yes. Boss, show me the furniture.”
“Of course! I’ll serve you soon.”
So, did you get out of the winding furniture and walk for about 3 minutes?
We arrived at a place where furniture that looked expensive to anyone could be seen.
“Ikea?”
Did you remember going to IKEA to decorate your own room?
It came out of her mouth instead of through her head.
“Uh, how do you know the name of the furniture maker?”
“Yes? Is the furniture maker’s name IKEA?”
“It’s a fairly famous furniture-making family in the Empire, but I’m sure no one knows about it because it’s a minority in the Church…”
This guy’s disrespectful snout is the problem.
I don’t know what to say to the boss who is stroking his beard while tilting his head.
Do you have any good excuses?
I don’t know.
Let’s just throw it away.
“Ahahahaha… I’ve seen someone making similar furniture before…”
“Oh, that’s right. Well, the IKEA family travels all over the world.”
I was very impatient and looked around, but the boss nodded and said he could.
As expected, I think about a lot of things because I know a lot.
“Seobang! Isn’t this table okay?”
“Oh… Island Table…”
“As expected, the saintess and her wife. You have discerning eyes. That table was made by an Irish family artisan…”
On that day, we bought all the furniture we needed for our house.
I asked Stella and the boss how much it was, but neither of them answered.
I couldn’t even guess because I asked for the payment to go to my father-in-law’s house.
What the heck… How much did you spend on furniture…?
***
After finishing shopping for coma furniture, I boarded the wagon to return to the northern village.
The wagon that arrived at the checkpoint at a slow pace was waiting for its turn to pass through the checkpoint.
By the way, I removed the curtain separating the front and back of the carriage and let out a sigh as if the coachman had become a nuisance.
“Ah.. That’s a big deal.”
“What’s up?”
Stella looked out of her as she addressed her coachman.
She was just sticking out her face as if she couldn’t see it well.
“It seems that the checkpoint has been closed. It seems that the recent activation of the monster has become a problem.”
“Ah.. It’s the activity season soon, so it’s time to control the evening.”
In spring, slumbering animals, beasts, and monsters begin their activities.
Because the population increases suddenly, it takes a lot of time to eradicate
It seems that quite a few raids happen in the evening or at night.
So it seems that the Church Bureau closes the checkpoint in the evening during the activity period and prevents you from leaving the village.
However, they say they’re allowed to come in.
“So, I guess I won’t be able to go to the northern town today.”
“I can’t help it. Thank you for your hard work today.”
After bowing politely to the coachman, Stella jumped out of the carriage.
Stella jumped up and down.
I brushed the sand off my shoes.
“What are you going to do with the saintess and your wife?”
“We will spend the night at a nearby inn. Please meet us early tomorrow morning.”
“Yes, I understand.”
Uh…?
Isn’t this a similar situation to the bus being cut off?
