(EP-165.1) Night #6
165 – Day and Night #6
“Look, there’re butterflies flying around.”
Mirna seed to be in a much better mood as she walked along the warm, sunlit path with flowers.
It was hard to believe that just this morning, she was rioting and breaking glass.
Who knew if she was just doing this on purpose.
Like she was deliberately putting on a bright atmosphere to show that she was okay. It would definitely be possible.
Tuktuk.
“Hey, why is she like that? What is she up to? And what is that blooming atmosphere she’s giving…! It’s creepy…! Don’t tell she’ll also start asking us to have a tea party, is she…!?”
After strolling for a while, it seed that Elga reached a point where she could no longer stand it.
She flinched and had goosebumps everywhere from Mirna’s uncharacteristic appearance.
She couldn’t comprehend the way Mirna was acting, as she usually acted like an uptight noble. The Mirna today… How should I say it? She was like a character from a fairy tale.
To the carefree Elga, it was a distasteful sight.
On the other hand, the elegant Aira was vibing with this Mirna, as she pointed to a distant pond.
“The pink lotuses are blooming beautifully today. I often go out for a walk to sightsee.”
“How wonderful! The lotus really reflects the sunlight well.”
Usually, Aira and Mirna hardly exchanged words. Mirna didn’t like Aira and the Tarantera Family that much.
“Look over there, isn’t that a mandarin duck?”
“Lady Draco, that’s not a mandarin duck, but a mallard duck. Well, it can be confusing to distinguish the two~.”
“Mallard duck-.”
But today, they looked like good old friends. Aira remained herself, but it was because of Mirna’s sudden change.
It was not uncommon for soone who had done sothing shocking and impulsive to start acting in exaggerated and unusual behaviors.
For example, when a couple broke up, they might go to a club they wouldn’t usually visit, let their bodies loose and engage in self-indulgent activities-.
Then Mirna said.
“How about having a tea party in the shade here?”
“Hieek-!”
Unable to hold back any longer, Elga scread like a Nymph getting smacked in the back of the head. As everyone’s attention turned to her, she awkwardly cleared her throat.
“Seems like what I ate for lunch didn’t sit well. I need so fresh air. Hey, Theo, co over here and pat my back.”
“Ah-.”
“Hurry up!”
With Elga’s urging, I had no choice but to follow.
However, I first made sure to take out a parasol and mat from the Squirrel Cache for Mirna and Aira’s tea party.
* * *
“Hey, what the hell are you doing? Are you all conspiring against ? Are you kidding right now? Do you wanna die?”
Elga took around a corner, away from everyone’s eyes. With only the two of us, Elga let loose. She demanded an explanation and shot her questions without restraint.
“Mirna, she’s acting like a completely different person! She’s doing this on purpose, isn’t she? Is she trying to make a fool out of ? You two talked earlier! Explain to what’s going on!”
Seuk.
Elga poked her head out from behind the tree.
Elga’s blue eyes reflected Mirna and Aira elegantly chuckling and chatting under the parasol with the mat spread out under the tree’s shade.
━Mallard ducks are round and cute. We had a few of them in the palace garden.
━Perhaps, I should keep so in the villa too.
Seeing such a scene, Elga face-pald in frustration.
“Now the two of them are talking about mallard ducks. What with those ducks? Did you all plan this against !?”
Elga seed to think that all of this was a ruse. From her perspective, that could be a reasonable assumption. However, I was just as perplexed as her.
“To be honest. I don’t know what’s happening either.”
“Mirna is acting like a completely different person. Theo Gospel, do you expect to believe you don’t know anything? Don’t lie to .”
“…….”
Elga’s trust in seed to have hit near rock bottom. She seed to believe that I was behind this situation, manipulating everything from the shadows.
What am I in Elga’s head?
“I truly don’t know anything. But Mirna-nim probably has so reasons she can’t talk about. We have to figure out what that is.”
“So, you’re claiming your innocence in all of this?”
“Yes.”
Not a hundred percent, but innocent nonetheless.
Since it was dangerous for us two to be away for too long, I took Elga, who still looked dissatisfied, back to join the ladies under the shade.
Aira looked at and said.
“With such a beautiful day in the shade, I’m thinking of having so entertaining gas. Does Court Entertainer Theo have one in mind?”
Aira was asking for a new board ga.
It seed that she was already tired of the ga they played last ti. Anticipating this, I had prepared several options in my free ti.
So, I took out so wooden blocks from my inventory.
“What is it?”
“This is a ga where you stack these wooden blocks.”
Seukseukseuk.
I skillfully stacked the wooden blocks. Watching set up, Elga, who still seed dissatisfied, sourly comnted.
“Isn’t this a children’s tower ga? Why are you taking this out all of a sudden?”
“It’s not just about stacking. After building it, everyone gets to take out one wooden block at a ti. The person who makes the tower collapse loses the ga.”
Simply put, it was Jenga. As a person from the 21st century, the ga had served its ti and lost its appeal, but for these aristocrats who found everything boring, even this might be an exciting pasti.
“Taking them out one by one, huh? It’s very simple, but it could work your mind…”
Despite initially scoffing at it as an ordinary tower building ga, Elga seed to show so interest.
