The moment Yu An Luo met his gaze, the girl let out a small exclamation like a frightened bird, and she nodded slightly for some reason but didn't make a sound.
The girl wearing a headscarf was wearing an old-fashioned European maid outfit. Her mid-length black hair and dark brown pupils were basically the same color as An Luo's, and her long slanted bangs covered half of her eyes.
Although she didn't dress up and looked very plain, her facial features were unexpectedly delicate, so she wasn't affected too much by the clothes, which also made An Luo somewhat understand why Amir was so obsessed with the servants at home.
"It's really rare. Are you from the east like me? Or are you from the eastern city in the nearby country that combines east and west?"
It is rare in this world to meet someone with the same hair color and eye color, which makes An Luo feel a little close, but Irena looked at him suddenly, and said in surprise: "——Aren't you from another continent? ?”
"Wait! Irena!" An Luo put his hand on Irena's back, pulled her to the corner, and said in a low voice: "I am indeed from another continent, but it's not like everyone here doesn't know Is it something about another continent? So, in order to avoid being treated like a monkey and asking questions, I have to pretend that I am from the East."
"Oh...so that's the case, it does make sense."
"—Huh?! Big Brother is from another continent? I always thought he was from the East like Nino?!"
"Let's put this question aside for now, Nino... right? You came here from the East... to work?"
An Luo, who forcibly ignored the problem of this foreign land, looked at the girl who was rumored to be Nino again after letting go of Irena, and always felt that it was unnatural no matter how she looked at it.
After all, if she really came from the east of this world, then this girl should have gone through quite a long journey, but... after such a long journey, she came to this country to work? ?Why is it not normal?
"...that, that..."
The girl who seemed to be very afraid of other people's eyes seemed flustered in the face of An Luo's curious eyes, or felt that it was difficult to speak, so she hesitated for a long time and failed to give a correct answer.
This allowed Emil to explain on her behalf in a timely manner: "Nino was picked up by my father from a country in the east."
"So that's why you work here?"
"Yes, yes...the village chief treats me well..."
Nino nodded slightly, her head hung down with a gloomy expression as if covered by a layer of gloom, and her speech was almost like reciting lines without any real emotion.
"Is that so..."
Nino, who was obviously not good at talking to people, lowered her eyes to avoid his gaze, making An Luo understand that it would not be too easy to chat with someone with the same hair color on this continent.
"Nah~! Nino! What are you having for lunch today??" Amir, who was not affected by the atmosphere, or could be said to be very ignorant of words, asked happily with a smile all over his face, not caring about his sweetheart's bad complexion.
"...Today, today, according to the request of the village head, it is fresh fish grilled with salt..."
"Oh! If possible, can you make a copy for the big brother and the big sister?"
"Uh-huh......"
As a maid, it is naturally impossible for a girl who has objections to the young master's treat, Nino naturally nodded slightly, and after Irena emphasized not to do too much, she nodded again with an unchanged dark expression Afterwards, he turned around carefully and entered the kitchen, but Amir suddenly thought of something, and immediately said:
"That's right! Nino, I have a gift for you after dinner today!"
"Huh, me? Me?"
"Of course, you can look forward to it, okay?"
"No, no... no need, the village chief will be angry..."
"It's okay, I'll talk to Dad properly."
"No, this..."
"Then, this is an order...is it okay?"
".....Order..."
The girl who feels very humble, even to the point of humbleness, is also very embarrassed at this moment. Although there is no joy of expressing good intentions on her face, she still succumbs to the order after all.
And the conversation between the two made An Luo feel that it sounded like the classic plot in "The Domineering President Falls in Love with Me", although the hero here is not the domineering president, but the mushroom-headed boy who is the son of the village head; The woman's girl didn't show any shyness on her face, and faced with this unilaterally imposed kindness, there was only embarrassment and fear...
...
...
An Luo, who was sitting in front of the dining table generously, was listening to the conversation between the two, watching the girl whose dark emotions deepened, and the silly and happy boy who didn't notice the girl's emotions, couldn't help rushing to the side who looked bored Irena spoke up: "Irena, you said that the unilateral and forced kindness can really move people?"
"Hum~"
Irena didn't speak, just snorted twice, stretched out her hand in front of him, and looked at him with a smile without saying a word.
"What? What does this hand mean?"
"How much are you willing to pay?"
"...Why should I give you money? Uh, do you mean that you want others to give you money by force and use money to impress you more than unilateral, meaningless kindness? "
"That's right!" Irena nodded vigorously with a smile, causing him to shake his head speechlessly, then sighed: "... Is it really you who deserve it? You are really greedy enough, In other words, since you like money so much, you should go to work instead of traveling all day long."
"I don't work at work. My wish is to earn money without working!" Irena expressed her wish earnestly, which made An Luo unable to bear it...... Nodding in agreement with empathy: "Although I really want to scold you, but...if I can, I also hope to make money without working."
"Hehe~ As expected of my companion."
"Well, what about my companion?"
The strong sense of companionship made the two of them smile tacitly, and they held out their hands together.
This scene made Amir, who poked his head out, couldn't help but shed cold sweat: "...you two... weren't you still fighting just now? Why are you..."
An Luo let go of Irena's hand, and said seriously: "In the world of adults, there are no eternal enemies, boy, you will understand when you grow up."
"Yes, is that so?...But I always feel that ordinary adults are different from you, and I don't want to understand your world at all..."
The overly honest boy broke out in a cold sweat and said what angered the two of them, then immediately withdrew his head and ran hard to help Nino.
"...Hey, An Luo." Irena, who felt like she was underestimated, looked at her companion with a smile: "When you leave, can you teach him a little lesson?"
"why me?"
"Because I am a mature adult, I don't care about children."
"... In terms of shamelessness, I would call you the strongest."
"Don't be so polite, you are the king, and you are far worse than me." Irena shook her head modestly, pursed her lips and smiled lightly... She looked like this if she only looked at the appearance It's like that too, but...
"...Did you know? When you want me to lose face, but you can't do anything yourself, our friendship has come to an end."
"If this is the friendship that will come to an end, it would be better to end it earlier, right?"
"It makes sense, but now I want to teach you a lesson more than Amir."
"It's the same for me... No, I should say that I actually thought this way four years ago."
...
The temporary partnership between An Luo and Irena quickly broke down without any accidents, but before they could quarrel, there was a sound of footsteps outside the house.
"—It's really rare to have guests come, and the two of them came to the door together."
A slightly plump man who looked to be in his 40s or [-]s came straight to the two of them.
The two looked at each other, and finally Irena spoke first: "Hello, are you Mr. Village Chief?"
"Exactly."
"I am Irena, and this person is An Luo. We are travelers passing by here. We are here at your son's invitation. Please give us your advice."
"That's really polite, I'm Emil's father."
Nodding his head, the village chief sat across from the two of them, and it seemed that he had no intention of declaring his name.
Irena, who is usually considered polite to strangers, said a few words to the other party in a pleasant manner, and the answers she got were also very cold.
The boring conversation made Irena feel unhappy with An Luo, who was silently thinking about Buddhism, and couldn't help stepping on him under the table, but unfortunately... An Luo completely ignored her dissatisfaction.
But this situation didn't last long. Nino and Amir came with dishes, and the dishes on the table gave Irena a headache, because the way of eating here is different, and she didn't waste it. habit.
"...I should have said that my weight should be a little less?"
Faced with both fish and meat, but the portions of fish, meat and bread were relatively small, the corners of Irena's mouth twitched.
It's not polite to keep leftovers, but it's not easy for her to finish eating, so...Irena silently pushed the meat to An Luo next to her, and said with a smile: "Boys should eat more , don't be polite to me,"
"...I've never seen you give me the food at other times."
"Then this time I will make up for the previous part."
With that said, Irena struggled again between the bread and the fish, and pushed the bread in front of An Luo.
Evidently she liked bread, but this time she wanted to try fish.
...
...
Nino's cooking was really good, and Nino, who had been standing by the side after the meal, immediately cleared up the table actively, and Emil also helped out as a matter of course.
At this time, An Luo, who thought that he could leave after eating, couldn't help but rushed to the dining table, and the village chief who was drinking water leisurely asked, "Where did you meet Nino? The Far East? Or the East?" City? Or other places similar to oriental residences?"
"Bought in the Far East."
"bought?"
"It's a slave."
"...So that's the case, the slave's words can explain this attitude..."
"A few years ago, my wife left home and no one did the housework. I happened to be out on a business trip and saw it, so I bought it. Although the price is high, it can do some housework. More importantly, it looks like it can grow. She's a beauty, so I didn't hesitate to buy it, and she did make a good servant, as I thought."
As if he was very satisfied with his business, the village chief gave a low-level smile while talking ostentatiously.
The progress of civilization in this world is a bit strange, and he doesn't know whether slavery exists or not, but slaves do appear occasionally, or it may be a product of a default existence, which is probably the case from the attitude of the village chief.Therefore, An Luo is not surprised that Nino is a slave, and thinks that Nino is a slave, which can explain her attitude of being too humble to the point of inferiority, but here An Luo has a new problem.
"Does Emil know that Nino is a slave?"
"I remember I said it, but he doesn't seem to care that the other party is a slave."
".....is that so?"
As a modern person, An Luo naturally has a lot of sympathy for the slaves who appear in front of him. The uncomfortable feeling made him feel a little uncomfortable.
Although slaves may not have human rights in this era, they are human beings after all, and there is no way for human beings to show sympathy for human beings.
And Nino, who came back to pack her things, lowered her head even more deeply after hearing their conversation, which even made An Luo worry that she would not be able to see the road ahead clearly.
Just as if she was worried about what would happen, at this moment, Emil came out of the kitchen and bumped into Nino, causing the things in her hands to fall to the ground and shattered.
"—what are you doing!"
Before An Luo could react to this standard Murphy's Law scene, the village chief slammed his fist on the table and stood up, grabbing the panicked Nino by the collar: "You trash When will I learn to work without making mistakes! Clean it up for me quickly!"
