The chaotic atmosphere on the outside of the store could be felt inside as well.
Everyone, except for , was staring at the entrance with a perplexed look.
"What's going on? It's getting loud out there,"
"Is it a famous person or sothing?"
.
I didn't respond to the others' questions.
My body stiffened as I realized the source of the commotion.
I rembered the one-sided conversation I had earlier and considering the typical nature of the Angels, I knew it could only be one person.
A figure appeared at the entrance of the store.
Despite being the center of attention, the Angel remained expressionless, with snow-white clothes and an aura of mystery emanating from her body.
As I had suspected, it was Angel Ashmir.
"Is, is that person an Angel?"
"Why would an Angel suddenly co to a place like this?"
Sehe's eyes widened in surprise, and Jin stamred with a confused expression.
Ashmir looked around the store for a while before stopping her gaze on where I was sitting, and then walked towards with a confident stride.
Taeho reacted urgently,
"What? Why is she coming this way?"
"Maybe we did sothing wrong? I heard that eting an Angel in person is quite intimidating," Jin said.
I reassured them,
"Everyone, don't be so nervous. That Angel probably has business with ."
"What? With uncle Si?"
"Really, bro?"
Before I could explain the situation further, Ashmir arrived in front of us.
As usual, she ignored the three people and fixed her gaze on as she opened her mouth.
"Long ti no see, Mr. Sihyeon."
"Long ti no see, Ms. Ashmir. Hmm it's not that long since we last t at Ryan's office a while ago."
"Oh, I see. Recently, I've been so busy that it feels like a long ti has passed."
Ignoring the current awkward atmosphere, I greeted Ashmir first.
Our first eting had not been great, but now it was comfortable enough to exchange greetings.
"Uh"
As I greeted Ashmir normally, not only the three people sitting with but also the other people in the store were surprised.
It was not easy for ordinary people to et Angels, and here I was talking normally to one.
I pretended not to notice the reactions around and continued the conversation with Ashmir.
"By the way, what brought you here all of a sudden?"
"I need your help, Sihyeon. Would you co with ?"
"Uh! Right now?"
"Yes,"
Ashmir asked to co with her.
I naturally frowned because it felt like she was interrupting a good ti with my friends I hadn't seen in a while.
I knew very well that this was a characteristic of the Angels, but it still spoiled my mood.
I answered in a more assertive tone than before.
"I'm sorry, but I have a prior engagent. I don't think I can help you right now."
"Sihyeon, this is very important. Put off other appointnts for a while"
"This is also sothing important to ."
.
Feeling upset, my voice naturally raised.
Ashmir, noticing my strong attitude, trembled slightly and looked around at the three people with .
"Are you talking about the prior engagent with these three people here?"
"Yes, they are my friends I haven't t in a while."
"Sihyeon, I'll make sure to give you and them sufficient compensation, so please put off your prior engagent."
Really, this Angel
At Ashmir's senseless attitude, I scowled.
Not only was I uncomfortable, but the three around also felt ignored and irritated.
With a much more emotional voice, I scolded her.
"THAT'S ENOUGH. If you continue to behave impolitely, I don't want to speak with you anymore. Please leave now."
!
Ashmir looked flustered and her face hardened slightly. The three, Taeho, Sehe, and Jin, who were observing the scene, whispered to cautiously.
"Uncle, we are fine."
"You don't have to worry about this, Uncle Si."
"Brother Si, let's at least hear what the Angel has to say"
"I'm fine. You guys stay put."
I shot down their worried words and maintained my strong attitude.
I didn't particularly have any negative feelings toward the Angels.
I know now that they also have their own difficult circumstances.
But that doesn't an they can forcibly drag other people around.
If they continue to behave impolitely, I don't want to help them at all.
"Ms. Ashmir, when you ca to the farm last ti, I said I would help you if I could. But I cannot help you with your one-sided and senseless demands."
.
I also understand the actions of the Angels, but I want them to at least show so consideration and respect.
Ashmir looked down with a regretful look, as if she was listening to my words.
After a mont of silence, she looked up and apologized sincerely.
"I'm sorry, Sihyeon. I was too hasty and didn't consider your position at all."
I looked at her and pretended to be calm, but I was actually quite surprised. I never expected her to admit her mistake so humbly.
"Will you accept my apology?"
"Uh Sure, I'll accept your apology."
As I awkwardly cleared my throat, I accepted her apology. I could see the slight hint of a smile on her lips, despite my mixed feelings.
"Then, I'll ask again."
"Wait"
-Whoosh!
Before I could finish my sentence, a bright light burst out of Ashmir's surroundings, causing everyone in the store to reflexively cover their eyes.
As our eyes adjusted to the light, we saw the source of it a pair of large wings sprouted from Ashmir's back, emitting a soft glow.
Everyone in the store was in shock, but Ashmir continued with an even more shocking action.
-Whoosh!
"Whawhat?!"
Ashmir folded her large wings tightly and lowered her posture with one hand on her chest.
Before I could react, she kneeled completely in front of .
Everyone was shocked and surprised by her actions.
"Sihyeon Leffr Cardis, an Ester and the owner of Cardis Estate recognized by the protector of Arkdan, I, Ashmir, earnestly beg of you, please grant my request."
Sh*t, I didn't expect her to ask so grandly
I was lost for words at her action which was filled with respect and reverence.
"Is that angel kneeling before him?"
"What did she just say? Ester? Cardis?"
As the commotion around us grew louder, I finally ca to my senses.
I quickly walked forward and helped the kneeling Ashmir to stand up.
"Why are you doing this all of a sudden? Please stand up."
"?"
Ashmir looked at with a surprised expression, as if asking [You wanted to do this, didnt you?]
"Sorry, you seem to have misunderstood. I didn't an for you to do this. But I do appreciate your respect and consideration."
"I apologize, my approach was wrong. I will try again."
As she was about to kneel down again, I panicked and stopped her.
"No, no, that's enough. I understand. Let's just talk about what you need first."
I looked around and saw that everyone in the store was staring at us. It was clear that we couldn't continue this conversation here.
I led Ashmir out of the store and headed outside.
"Uncle!!"
"You guys too, co with ."
The three who were staring at also hurriedly followed .
We managed to get outside sohow, but there were already many onlookers in front of the store.
It seems that it would be difficult to talk here.
I think I need to find a quiet place sowhere
While looking for a quiet place nearby, a place ca to mind quickly.
Knowing that it was not far from here, I quickly led the group including Ashmir.
"So you ca here."
I said to Ryan with a look of resignation.
"I'm sorry, Ryan. This was the only place that ca to mind at the mont."
"Hahaha! It's okay. Even if I knew the situation, I would have told you to co here."
Ryan gave a cool smile.
"That being said, things have gotten a bit complicated."
"Ugh"
In the place where Ryan's gaze turned, there were four people sitting awkwardly.
To be precise, three awkward humans and one expressionless Angel
The three people who followed here were glancing over this way hesitantly.
They seed to be trying to be calm, but their faces were full of questions.
Ryan smiled slightly and asked for my opinion.
"What would you like to do? Should we make up a story that can explain things sohow, or do you want to tell the truth?"
He was leaving the decision to .
It didn't take long to find the answer to that question.
"I'll tell them the truth as much as possible."
"You seem to be pretty close with them?"
"Well They're a few friends I keep in touch with regularly in this world, and they already know most of my situation."
"Alright. Then I won't have to step in."
I nodded and headed towards the four people sitting.
First, I asked Ashmir for a mont of ti and apologized, then I looked at the three people and began to speak.
"Um. First of all, I'm sorry. Because of , all our plans for today have fallen apart."
"It's alright, Uncle Si."
"Yes, its fine."
"It's not like it was because of you anyways."
They all said it was alright almost simultaneously, and gave a look that urged to quickly move on to the next explanation.
"And about the part that you're curious about. Rember when I said I work on a farm? That "
I slowly started telling the story of my encounter with the Demon farm.
