Civil Servant in a Romance Fantasy

Comfort like a fairy, Academy – 1

I enjoyed the way back to the academy with the box bestowed by the benevolent Golden Ball.

The school trip that I went to with worries and troubles ended with a pretty decent income. With a 50% increase in the secret support fee and 6 bottles of boyar wine, it is not enough to cross the empire. It would be a very satisfying result if it was only for Boyar.

“Isn’t it uncomfortable? Give it to me. I’ll keep it.”

“It’s okay. You’ll be uncomfortable too.”

“I sit inside, so there’s plenty of room. Come on.”

Unexpectedly, Irina, who thought she would never see her face again, let alone talk, was calmer than she thought. Rather, it seems to be more peaceful than when I went to the boyar.

Even when she got into the carriage, Irina, who was already in her carriage, patted the seat next to her and asked her to sit down.

‘Was the Kraken effect great?’

She seemed to value the fact that she almost got hurt more than the fact that she was caught crying. She is the enemy of the family who won’t say anything even if she loses, but I’d appreciate it if you consider her a benefactor.

Actually, the real enemy is not me, but section 3, but her subordinates and bosses are the fateful community. If that bastard’s ball is mine, that bastard’s karma is also my karma. It’s sad.

She cautiously handed her box to Irina, who stretched out her hands and looked me in the eye. It seems that it will continue to be like that until it is given, so won.

“It looks like the two of you have become very close.”

She nodded her head inadvertently at Erich’s words. I don’t know if we became close, but our relationship has improved a lot compared to before. If intimacy went from -80 to +20, it would have risen by a whopping 100.

Anyway, if you use 0 as the standard, 20 is a high level. Irina and I are just that close.

“Since we’re in the wagon together, we can become friends.”

“It’s fortunate. Irina seems to be having a little trouble with her older brother.”

Well, maybe not a little bit.

“My brother is a good person, so it would be nice to get to know her!”

“Ugh, huh.”

At that, Irina lowered her head, her ears red. Nice people, nice to be friends with Even so, it would be difficult to accept such an embarrassing remark casually. Remnants will still remain.

“I’ll be friendly with you when I’m comfortable.”

She said softly, meaning that I won’t make you uncomfortable if you can’t relax. Yes, getting closer is something that Irina is comfortable with. It’s not a matter for me to get close to or discuss.

“Then it’s not long.”

Hehe, I let out a small smile at Louise’s words. Apparently, Louise could say that because she didn’t know the details.

Louisé’s eyes were surprisingly accurate. This is the power of the original protagonist?

“That’s why I came empty-handed…”

On the day when the daily life at the academy started again after the school trip, a customer came to the club during club time.

“It’s a hawthorn tree. I brought it with pretty flowers.”

“Wow, pretty!”

Irina visited her club room holding a small flowerpot and handed her flowerpot to Louise. Hawthorn seedlings with white flowers. I don’t know what kind of wood it is, but it looks pretty.

“Thank you! I’ll take good care of you!”

“Just give it water on time.”

Louisé, who placed the pot in a sunny location, looked at the pot several times to see if he liked the flower. If flowers could feel the gaze like people, they would have already died from the pressure.

Looking at Louise like that, Irina turned her gaze to me, and she slightly lowered her head.

“Hello brother.”

“Okay, bye.”

By the way, is it okay for you to stay here? What about your club?

“I came to play because the club meeting was closed today. Did it bother you?”

Irina explained the situation first, probably feeling my doubts. I lost my way and came all the way here. Then there is nothing you can do

“What about the lungs? Rest comfortably before going.”

“Thank you.”

Irina bowed her head again. He’s such a polite kid, but he’s been so frightened all these years…

“Huh? Irina, wasn’t it a gardening club?”

“Yeah, that’s right.”

“Today’s gardening club breaks…”

While kneading her dough, Erich saw Irina’s face and was silent for a moment, then she awkwardly continued.

“Oh, sorry. I mistook it for another club.”

“It’s okay. It could be.”

She looked at the back of Irina, who let out a small laugh, and then looked away from her. Although she couldn’t see the expression because her back was turned away, she seemed to be glad she didn’t see it somehow.

I flinched several times in front of the confectionery club room. All you have to do is knock, just close your eyes.

‘Is it okay?’

I’ve been avoiding and reluctant for a while, but can I come to you casually like this? Could it be that I’m being careless? Wouldn’t you think that you’re a weird kid?

No, no. I just came to see a friend. And I came because I couldn’t even give you a gift for saving you. Yes, that’s enough reason to come.

‘Because it depends on my heart.’

Obviously my brother said he could be friendly with me if I felt comfortable. I haven’t forgotten the bad things happened in the past, but I can’t keep my heart closed to my benefactor. As an aristocrat, you don’t have a broad mind.

After clearing her mind, she entered the club room and was greeted by Louise and her brother. It’s fortunate that he doesn’t seem to mind a sudden visit. The gift seems to like it too.

“The flower language of hawthorn must have been tolerance or forgiveness.”

While thinking about what to bring as a gift, she asked a senior in her club for advice. And she heard just the right language of flowers.

Tolerance, forgiveness. Just right. It’s a bit embarrassing to say it directly with my own mouth, and my brother who listens to me may feel embarrassed, but there’s nothing wrong with such a soft expression. Maybe my older brother would be impressed if he knew my meticulousness–

No, no. It doesn’t matter if you admire it or not. Because this is just a gift. Yeah, it doesn’t mean much. It’s a light first gift.

“Huh? Irina, wasn’t it a gardening club?”

Today’s club meeting was closed, so I secured a cause to be in the confectionery club room, and Erich started talking to me. Did you know it was a lie? Did Erich’s friends have other gardening clubs besides me?

“Today’s gardening club break…”

As I stared at Erich, who was about to say something he shouldn’t have said, she shut her mouth, as if I had conveyed my sincerity to Erich.

“Oh, sorry. I mistook it for another club.”

“It’s okay. It could be.”

As expected, Erich is really kind. Knowing her friend’s sincerity and letting go of little lies.

After spending some time in the confectionery club room, I came out. It’s not awkward because the seniors who are a bit burdensome are better than I thought, but the senior said it’s okay to go somewhere else during club time, but told me to come back when it’s over.

“When it’s time, don’t be afraid to come and play!”

“Can I?”

“Yes! Is that okay?”

“Yes. It’s not like I’m hiding anything.”

Still, I was given permission to come back anytime. There is nothing to regret.

“Senior. I’m back.”

“Ah, Irina.”

When she returned to the gardening club room, she was greeted by a senior who taught her the flower language of hawthorn.

“Did you already give me a hawthorn tree as a gift?”

“Yes? Why all of a sudden?”

“Ah, that flower language is different.”

Her hair turned white at the words of the senior who was scratching her cheek.

“They say that the only love is the language of flowers. Rather, it’s more famous than generosity.”

“Ah.”

Ah.

Ah…

Aaaaa!

‘Oh no!’

Uh, what should I do, what should I do!

Me, I didn’t intend to go that far from the beginning! I just wanted to say that I’m fine now, just that much…!

“Irina?”

“Seo, senpai, that, really, is that the most famous?”

“You already gave it to me.”

In extreme bewilderment, she barely nodded her head, and the senior let out a sigh as if she couldn’t help it.

“It’s okay if the recipient doesn’t know the language of flowers.”

“If you knew…?”

“…….”

“Senior?”

The senior did not answer, but the silence was more weighty than anything else.

Please, please, I hope my brother doesn’t know the language of flowers. My attentiveness? Soft? It’s okay if you don’t really know that, so please!

With potted plants, it feels like the club room has been added to life. It’s one small thing, but plants are plants anyway. Nice to see

“Even if you spill the flour, it won’t make any difference.”

Luteis, who has a twisted aesthetic sense, said with satisfaction. That red-blooded fellow is only looking at flowers. Even if you sprinkle hot sauce on it, it won’t make any difference.

“Doesn’t white look good too? I thought flowers are pretty only when they have color.”

“It’s beautiful to have nothing in it.”

After that, Erich and Ainter exchanged normal impressions. Still, it’s fortunate that not all of them have the sense of Big-Hot Sauce Man.

And Louise, who was wiping the flower pot with a dishcloth, suddenly turned around and said,

“What would be good in return?”

Ah, in return.

“It would be burdensome if you brought it back as a reward. A snack every time you come is enough.”

“Is that so?”

If this is an ordinary gift, it’s okay to reciprocate. But even while giving the flower pot to Louise, she looked at me. No matter how you think about it, it is a gift to thank you for the Kraken incident.

It’s a thank-you gift for saving you, but your benefactor gives you a gift in return? Then, Irina is in a situation where she has to reciprocate. It’s a bizarre chain.

“Since Irina likes macarons, I think we can prepare macarons.”

Nodding resolutely, it seems that macarons will be mass-produced today. But he knows how to make macarons, so it’s amazing…

“Irina will be happy too. Cheer up.”

“Yes!”

Leaving behind Louise’s self-motivated figure, she looked at the flowerpot Irina gave her. What did she say her name was, Sansu tree? No, was it Sansa?

‘It’s the first time I’ve heard of it.’

Some people even memorize flower language according to the color of flowers, but I don’t know such a thing. In the first place, I don’t know what kind of flower blooms in what season. Knowing how much cherry blossoms bloom in spring is enough.

Still, it’s pretty to look at. There are plants in a place where there is only flour, so the air seems to be clearer. I’ll have to say thank you again next time.
