27 – Scene 027# Intersect

*

I’m at ‘Groble’, a magic tool workshop in the corner of the luxury department store.

Here, VIPs who visit the department store are in charge of repairing the purchased products.

In a word, a luxury AS center in a department store.

The reason I visited the department store on the weekend was because there was someone looking for it here.

“The timing was bad. He just retired.”

Arthur Ruelberta said.

“Originally, he was in charge of this workshop, but when I said I took over and remodeled this place, I stopped because I didn’t like it. I’m still using the name of the store, but… .”

“okay.”

I guess I should have come a little earlier.

Still, there is hope.

Because the person I was looking for was a friend from Arthur’s hometown.

“But, why are you suddenly looking for Albert? I don’t know what that bastard was like in the past, but he’s old now, so he won’t be able to hammer.”

“An older craftsman may have less strength than a younger craftsman, but he has more know-how.”

Albert Groble.

An outstanding first-class magician who invented many magic tools.

i have to find him

“I see… Hmm… These days, the news has been cut off, but leave it to me. How difficult would it be to introduce you once? Don’t worry.”

“thank you.”

“Thank you. I am not your guardian It’s not even a request like this.”

Arthur tapped me on the shoulder.

After Milliam died and young Tristan became head of the family, Arthur became his guardian.

He was an excellent performer.

He managed the family property on behalf of Tristan and made the business prosperous.

Without him, the Ruelberta family would not have grown to this extent.

“Tsk… You’ve been fooling around Now that it’s like this, let’s go play.”

“Yes.”

“Be nice to that cute little attendant.”

“… … I will take care of that.”

“Heh heh… yes yes

Arthur laughed like he was having fun.

It’s like a father looking at his son.

When I felt that gaze, I felt embarrassed for some reason.

If it hadn’t been for ‘arrogance’, my feelings might have been exposed.

“If it’s your guy, he’ll figure it out. Go carefully.”

So I left the store.

The department store was still full of people.

Now we’ll have to find Wendy… .

I don’t know where you are or what you are doing.

Let’s turn around for a moment.

He’s stupid, so you can find him from far away.

It was a moment not too long after I started thinking that way.

“Don’t move.”

Something sharp pierced my abdomen.

Someone had their hands in my coat pockets.

It was the moment I was about to turn my head to check his face.

“Hold me by the waist. Make it look natural.”

“… … .”

Power entered the blade that stabbed the abdomen.

There was a little bit of pain.

I obediently grabbed him by the waist as he ordered.

It was a surprisingly thin waist.

“Keep quiet and go to the rooftop. I have something I want to ask you. If you do something strange… .”

Only then did I see the face of the big criminal who was threatening me in broad daylight.

“I’ll peel off your belly skin alive.”

A woman with a black ponytail was glaring at me.

Unfortunately, it was a face I knew.

The guy who takes up a lot of stake in Tristan’s death scenario in the game.

I muttered the boy’s name.

“Blanche… .”

“Yes. did you miss me? Tristan.”

*

“Whoah… .”

Wendy’s mouth hardly closed.

All around her were expensive-looking clothes, bags, and accessories.

Besides, the only people looking around the store were nobles.

For them, this would be a normal place.

With that thought in mind, Wendy felt intimidated for nothing.

‘Bae, the count didn’t seem to care about the amount, but… .’

As the count’s attendant, I cannot carelessly use the master’s property.

no, i won’t write

‘Even one Kael shouldn’t be wasted… !’

Wendy desperately scanned her surroundings.

It seemed like a store that only handles expensive items, but I went into a place that looked very cheap.

“welcome.”

“Yes… yeet… .”

The staff at the entrance smiled broadly.

Wendy was greeted awkwardly.

Is it right to do this?

While I’m anxious

‘Chi, calm down. Wendy. You’re the count’s exclusive maid.’

Pretending to be familiar, she looked at the clothes in the store.

These are definitely nice clothes.

The material of the clothes was luxurious and soft enough that even she, who was ignorant of luxury goods, could understand.

“uh… ?”

Among them, what caught Wendy’s eyes was the black cloak the mannequin was wearing.

A cloak made of fur glistened in the light.

‘It’s the same color as the coat the Count lent me before… .’

Maybe it’s for women, except for the fur decoration that gave a point around the neck, the design was pretty similar.

The moment she glanced at the price tag, Wendy’s eyes widened.

‘2.22 million kaels?!’

Surprised, an employee intervened beside her as she froze.

“Guest, you have a discerning eye. Since it came out this season, the original price is 3.99 million kaels, but since it is on sale, you can buy it at that price if you buy it today.”

“3… 3.99 million kaels… ?”

“Yes. The hair on the neck of the cloak is very rare because it is the tail hair of a snowhyang fox, but at this price, it is a really cheap product.”

Wendy was on the verge of dizziness.

When she entered the Count’s family as an attendant, the first salary she received was about 1,000,000 kaels.

Most of the money was also sent to families in the countryside.

After that, her cost of living is virtually zero.

Fortunately, lodging was provided.

Not long ago, she had a single maid outfit, let alone a new one, and it was not long ago that she had to sew up a holey knee-sock and apron every night.

‘3.99 million kaels… Roughly 4 million kaels… … .”

About 4 times your monthly salary when you were a freshman.

Now that I’m an exclusive maid, it may not be as much as then, but it doesn’t change that 4 million Kaels is a lot of money.

‘Yes, it’s pretty, but it’s too expensive…’ … .’

However, if I wore this, I would not feel awkward even if I was next to the Count.

She mustered up the courage to pick up the cloak from the mannequin.

It was light.

I liked it.

If this is the case, maybe even the Count will praise it?

The moment Wendy thought so, two people passing by the store caught her eye.

One was someone she knew well.

The man she had been thinking of until just now.

“The Count…?”

he was walking somewhere

But that was no surprise.

What surprised Wendy was the fact that a woman he had never seen before was closely attached to him.

It was a beauty with slender legs stretched out under a black dress.

She was tall and much more mature.

It was different from Wendy.

Tristan passed Wendy’s store with his hand around the woman’s waist.

The two looked very compatible.

At least that’s how Wendy saw it.

“… … sniff.”

Wendy’s hand holding the cloak slowly went down.

Power is gone.

I don’t know anything anymore… That was when I was thinking.

“excuse me.”

“Yes, yes!?”

I turned around in surprise at the voice I heard from behind.

A silver-haired beauty stood there.

An aristocratic lady who exudes nobility from head to toe and looks high in status.

It didn’t take long for Wendy to remember her.

“uh… Hey, princess?”

“Whoops. I wasn’t mistaken. Is it our old age? The name is clear… .”

“Wow, it’s Wendy. Oh… .”

“Oh, that’s right. I remember. Whoops. Miss Wendy, did you come with the Count then?”

“Yeah… .”

Bella smiled and said to Wendy.

“Are you here to buy clothes? I have a pretty good eye. This store is called Luelcia, and it is the most luxurious brand among the brands that are located in this department store. It is also a shop with a long tradition of supplying goods to the royal family. ”

“Hick?!”

I had no idea!

Somehow, I thought the price unit was weird!

‘Hey, let’s go out now. Wendy, this is not your place… Black.’

It was Bella who caught Wendy as she backed away.

“Hey, princess… ?”

“You came here to buy clothes on Count Bonamana’s orders, right? Let me help you. Even if you look like this, I can pick out clothes well for you.”

“I-I’m fine! Princess, you must be busy… Besides, I can do it myself!”

“a. Just in time, the party seems to have lost their way somewhere, so the time is ample.”

“It’s okay, it’s okay… !”

But Bella’s hand on Wendy’s arm didn’t budge.

“It’s okay. Whoops. Come on. Because this sister will pick out clothes that suit you.”

“Uh, sister? Go, princess, don’t do this! Heeik?! nu, the eyes are scary oh oh… !”
