The Archmage’s Restaurant

Side Story – Clothes and Celebration

“Oh my! really?”

“Yes.”

Verna held her hands together and nodded repeatedly. It is a face that is truly happy.

Berna, I thought Elle and Rurin were a couple for a long time, but I’m just surprised that they’re married now.

“It’s annoying, but L said they were having a celebration or something at the restaurant. “He said he would invite all of Gray’s acquaintances.”

“really? Then of course we should go!”

“At that time, I had to play legana for the customers, but I was kicked out to learn a good song!”

“There’s a good song for that!”

“oh?”

Although he looked annoyed, in fact, for Lulin, Legana was his favorite hobby out of all the things he learned in the human world.

Even now, I play Legana at least once a day at Rare.

So, contrary to what he said, he was very obedient.

I quietly begin to learn the song from Verna. While playing along to the song Verna played first, she even hummed the song as if she was in a good mood.

“Heungheungheungheung~”

“You did a good job. “I’ll tell you something else!”

Berna was very bored as Bernadro Great was in the capital as part of his political work, so he got excited and started teaching him various songs.

“oh. This is good now! uh?”

Lurin watched Verna’s performance and then turned her gaze to the former Count Grayke, who was lying across from Legana.

Since the earldom had already been inherited by the Gray boy, the lying earl became the former earl.

The former count’s circumstances were entered very roughly into Lulin’s mind. Since there were so many things involved, it could be said that this was a case where Rurin, who had no interest in humans, found out about it without realizing it.

When Verna played the legana, she always struck the keys next to the count.

There are many theories that good music helps with psychotherapy. In the Count’s case, psychology was not the problem, but there was no harm in a beautiful melody, so following Elena’s advice, it became Verna’s habit to always play the legana with her husband by her side.

The reason Lurin tilted her head was because the former count was different from usual.

Every time Verna hit the keys, her fingertips moved slightly, albeit very slightly.

“Why are you doing this?”

Since Lurin knew why the count didn’t wake up, she started making strange expressions, and Berna also looked at her husband.

This is because Lurin’s gaze was directed at her husband.

However, with the sound of the keyboard stopping, the fingers returned to their motionless state.

“no. I do not know.”

“yes?”

It was such a subtle movement that Lurin shook her head.

“This body often sees things wrong these days! “There was a time when I thought L was kissing but they were doing something else!”

“Yes?”

Verna only sent a questioning look towards Rurin, whose face suddenly turned red.

Eventually, the playing started again.

And after the performance was over, Verna, who moved the Count to the bedroom, led Rurin to the garden.

“Have some dessert and go!”

“dessert? That’s good. Hi-Hi.”

Lurin, who has a weakness for desserts, nodded. Verna kissed her husband’s forehead, covered him with a blanket, and came outside with Lurin.

The Count’s fingers moved slightly again, perhaps in response to the kiss, but Verna and Rurin had already left the room.

And tea time.

Verna, who was drinking tea, suddenly had a question and asked Rurin.

“By the way, Lulin. “If it’s a celebration, you have to wear a pretty dress, so have you prepared anything?”

Now that I think about it, I think Rurin would look very pretty in a dress, but I’ve never seen her wear a dress before.

The reason is that Rulin prefers clothes that are comfortable to move around in, but Verna doesn’t know that.

“dress? “What is that?”

“I’ll show you!”

The only thing I regret about having Grayke as a son is that I didn’t have the pleasure of dressing him up in various clothes like a daughter.

That’s why Verna snorted and took Rurin to the dressing room.

“If it’s a wedding celebration, shouldn’t you wear something special and pretty? “These fancy clothes are called dresses.”

Of course, what Verna is talking about here is not a dress, which refers to universal clothing, but rather the very flashy clothes worn by nobles when they go to parties.

“This flutter?”

“yes. Rurin will look very pretty when she wears it. “Even though it may be uncomfortable to wear on a daily basis, it makes you stand out at important occasions!”

“beautifully? “Hoo.”

It was a piece of clothing that made it impossible to throw a kick. Rurin hates being uncomfortable, but Verna said it was only once on a special day, so she was persuaded and asked.

“Eldo?”

“yes? yes. “Do you think El will fall in love with you all over again?”

“Oh oh. Is that something like that?”

Clothes that are good for Rurin are not clothes that are pretty for her. Looking pretty to L was the most important thing.

Of course, I don’t know what it is, so I’m just wearing it according to my own taste, but that’s why I was even more interested in Verna’s advice.

I can’t believe I fall in love with L even more!

Because it was a necessary piece of clothing. As long as L likes it, I don’t mind wearing any uncomfortable clothes.

That’s why Lurin nodded strongly, her eyes shining.

“Then wear it!”

“But these clothes are usually custom-made… My clothes won’t fit… Plus, it has to be made of good fabric! “For that, I would have to go to the capital and get some, but I think a fabric that matches the ring would be great!”

Verna said as she looked at the fascinating black light shining on Lulin’s fingers.

“I got some luxurious black fabric… .”

“You mean the capital? good night!”

“yes?”

“I’m leaving now!”

“Lu Lulin?”

Verna chased after Lurin, but she disappeared in an instant. Verna, who was unable to say anything important as she looked at the empty space, just gaped.

Da-da-da-da-da-!

As soon as she heard Verna’s words, Lurin, who was filled with the thought of having to look pretty for Elle, tried to teleport as soon as she left the Lord’s Castle without paying attention.

If you get there quickly, it won’t take you!

Teleport to the capital with the logic that anything that falls on the ground can be eaten within 5 seconds!

“L always goes out alone too! When this body sleeps!”

I looked around, trying to rationalize myself once more into the sky.

The imperial palace was visible in the distance.

And the place we moved to was a commercial district.

I don’t know what is what.

Ugh.

This was Rurin’s first thought, but she soon began to walk calmly.

This is because I quickly realized that it was not that different from downtown Gray.

Because Lurin had become quite accustomed to grocery shopping due to El’s repeated errands.

Anyway, I kept walking to find a place that seemed to sell something called fabric.

Meanwhile, Rurin found a sign that said “Fabric Store.”

I felt better after discovering the word ‘fabric’ that Verna mentioned.

“After all, it is this body. Hi-Hi.”

Lulin immediately rushed into the store.

From diamonds to gold. If it’s big and bulky, it looks kind of bulky, but Rurin’s accessories are small and cute.

Anyway, the employee, who immediately recognized the value of the accessories, naturally judged Rurin to be a nobleman and asked him a question.

“What are you looking for, sir?”

“Give me the black flutter.”

“yes? “Flutter?”

“Hmm? So, was it a guy called fabric?”

Lulin corrected himself by placing his hand between his eyebrows.

“Ah, you mean black fabric?”

The employee who finally understood guided Rurin to where the fabric was stored.

“The black one is this way.”

“this?”

But Lulin’s expression became glum. That’s because it was completely different from the dress Verna showed.

That’s because it’s fabric.

Although we can now shop, we are still not familiar with human culture. If you live as a dragon, you don’t need any clothes at all.

Therefore, the difference between fabric and dress was of no concern.

“It’s not a flutter… “It’s not fluttering.”

“yes?”

Lulin shook his head.

“Let’s go somewhere else!”

And then he ran out of the store. Lulin came out and looked around again.

“oh? “You’re a wizard!”

“uh?”

A voice calling Lurin. The owner of the voice started running towards Lurin.

“This body?”

Rurin pointed at herself. I looked at the jumping being and frowned.

Quadang-!

And the being that was running fell grandly in front of Lulin.

It was Rescent.

The same Licent who left for the capital after taking revenge on his father. I was still falling easily.

Licent fell down and cried! You’re a wizard! While doing so, he grabbed Lurin’s leg. Like a zombie.

“What are you doing?” “Get away!”

Lulin took a step back with a surprised look on his face.

I remembered.

Lurin remembered.

The reason I remember this person is because she was the woman who kissed L’s palm.

It wasn’t a good image to remember, so of course my face was still frowning.

“I’m a wizard! long time no see!”

Of course, Licent didn’t care and jumped up and started laughing. Even when I participated in the festival, she was always hugged.

“I’m not a wizard, I’m Lulin!”

“yes yes! Lulin! What are you doing here? You came from the fabric store, right? Are you here to look at clothes? I’m also very picky about clothes! In fact, I set up a small business here, and it’s been thriving lately!”

“oh?”

Lurin’s frowning expression brightened when she was told that her clothes were crisp. Looking pretty to L comes first, so I left the frown out for now.

“Are you sure?”

“yes!”

“Then give it to me. “It’s black, made of the best fabric, and flutters!”

Lurin gave the elements of the dress she picked up from Verna to Licent.

“really? “Hmm, does fluttering mean a fancy dress?”

Surprisingly, Licent understood Rulin’s poor explanation at once and nodded. Then point your finger in the opposite direction.

“The fabric in the house you just left is not very good. Let’s go to the best fabric store!”

“Hoo.”

This guy is useful. Lulin nodded while thinking so.

And after a while.

Licent left the clothing store with Rurin with his hands full of fabric.

“Now you can make this into a custom suit!”

“Fluttering?”

“yes. “Maybe so.”

“Hehe, that’s it. I didn’t know. I thought they were selling napulnapul. It’s annoying for humans to make it again. But it was helpful, so I forgive you for what I did before!”

Before.

Lurin was referring to the palm kiss incident, but Licent, unlike before, did not understand this part.

“yes? Is that so? “I don’t know what it is, but I’d be grateful if the wizard would forgive me!”

Of course, Licent was just confused. This cute wizard! Because he was showing an attitude of absolute obedience to him.

The majestic figure that wiped out a bully into the sky right before my eyes!

That is Lurin reflected in Licent’s eyes.

“Then now you can go over there and leave this to me!”

And when I tried to move again,

I crashed!

He fell again while showing off his proprietary patent.

The fabric he was holding split the sky, and Licent’s hand parted the joined hands of a couple walking in front of him.

“You idiot. “That guy.”

Lulin shook his head as if he was dumbfounded.

“Lurin?”

One of the couples in front, who was not Licent, called out to Lurin with a surprised face.

Lurin raised her head and opened her mouth with a happy face.

“uh? “It’s the lord!”

“yes yes!”

Unlike other humans, this is a human that Lulin recognizes with a friendly face. That was the privilege of the Great Lake associated with El for the longest time.

“Lurin! “Has Master come too?”

Grayke also answered with a happy face and looked around as if looking for El.

“does not exist! And it’s a secret! “I didn’t come here!”

“yes?”

Greke was dumbfounded by Lulin’s fuss.

“Brother?”

Sienna, who was next to him, asked as she held Grayke’s hand tightly again. And then he bowed to Lurin.

However, since Lurin had met a human who was close to El, the thought that she had to run away took over her whole body.

I poked Licent, who immediately fell down.

“Wake up!”

“yes? yes!”

Licent, covered in dust, tried to get up and Grayk opened his mouth again.

Lurin had no choice but to lift Riccent above her head. It is the power of a dragon.

Although it seems very bizarre to others.

“I’ll say it again, it’s a secret!”

Shouting like that, Lulin retreated in front of Grayk.

Gray and Sienna just looked at Lulin with blank faces while holding hands.

Lurin, who got away from Grayk with a flash of Ricent, held out the fabric.

“Then now make it flutter. “I’m in a hurry because I’m going to wear it tonight!”

“Yes? “Tonight?”

Licent was astonished.

“Why are you doing that?”

“Customized manufacturing takes a week at the earliest… .”

In fact, this was what Verna had already tried to say to Rurin. Thanks to this, Lurin was shocked this time.

“What? That’s not possible! It’s a celebration soon, right? Besides, there is no time! “They told me to be back by 5 o’clock.”

“yes? “Is L here too?”

“Ugh.”

Lulin looked at his watch, which showed 4:59, and had no choice but to grit his teeth and use teleportation.

“Are you a wizard?”

In the alley, Licent looked around, but Rurin was already gone.

Rurin, who returned to the restaurant with the fabric in her hand, was getting nervous.

Wanting to make Elle fall in love with her even more and look prettier is Rurin’s biggest concern these days.

But it failed.

It’s not a flutter.

However, the celebration was about to start and L would be extremely angry if she was late, so Lurin had no choice but to trudge back to the restaurant.

“you… ! It was a somewhat meaningless day. Annoying!”

“What are you doing so late?”

“I do not know!”

L asked, brushing off the dust from Lurin that Licent had buried when he fell.

“Did you roll? Why is the dust like this… . Well, I’m going to change anyway, so it doesn’t matter, right? “Follow me, Lurin.”

“Uh huh?”

El took Lurin’s hand and went down to the lair. L went to the wardrobe and took out the wedding dress she had prepared in front of Rurin.

“It’s not a wedding, it’s a celebration, but it’s just like a wedding, so this shouldn’t be left out, right?”

“What is this? It’s fluttering! But why is it white?”

“Originally, brides wear white. “No matter how much of a black dragon you are.”

L answered while looking at the hanging wedding dress.

A wedding dress with a simple design that is less flashy and more elegant than what you would wear at an actual wedding.

Since there is a difference between this world and the other world, L chose the simple yet most elegant dress over and over again, and this was the result.

Uniquely, the design flutters underneath the skirt.

Rurin, who heard that fluttering attracts others, immediately felt better.

I don’t want to wear it because it’s uncomfortable, but L said she likes it even more when she sees me wearing it.

For Rurin, that is the only truth.

“you.”

“huh?”

“Fall in love with me more!”

Lurin shouted like that and jumped towards L. L suddenly picked up Lurin.

Lurin smiles brightly.

Well, for L, seeing Lurin smiling so happily was the greatest happiness.

Now and in the future.
