Chapter 220
Chapter 220
Amy, who suddenly appeared, suddenly begged for help with tearful eyes.
Surprised at her figure, we calmed her down.
"Amy, calm down. Tell us what happened."
"It's."
She explained to us in a trembling voice what she had been through a while ago.
It was a little gibberish, but we were able to understand what she was saying.
And as soon as the explanation was over, we all tilted our heads.
"Andras suddenly started avoiding you?"
"Yes. We promised to work on the artifact together yesterday, but today he suddenly canceled it and left to the workshop alone."
"Um."
What's wrong with Andras all of a sudden?
Obviously, the atmosphere between the two wasn't bad until yesterday
"Maybe there was a misunderstanding or something?"
"Yes, Amy, it might have been an easy task, thats why Andras might have gone alone."
"No. Yesterday, he said that he had a lot of troublesome work left. But all of a sudden, today, he said he doesn't need my help"
Lia and Alfred were also in agony. It seemed clear that something had changed in Andras' mind.
However, no matter how close we are, we cannot easily see through the other person's mind.
The more I think about it, the more the number of questions in my head increases.
Lia, who was looking at Amy pitifully, jumped up from her seat.
"Lia?"
"I don't think we should be just sitting here and thinking about it like this."
"?"
"Let's go to Andras and ask him."
I was shocked as I looked at Lias bold attitude. And surprisingly, Alfred nodded and agreed with her aggressive attitude.
"Wait, guys. I don't think Andras is a guy who suddenly changes his mind. There must have been some kind of reason. I think it's better for someone to go and talk to Andras to see what was going on."
I asked with an expression of reluctance.
"Well then who's going to go talk to Andras?"
As if they had talked in advance, the eyes of the three naturally turned toward me.
I asked with a perplexed expression
"Me?"
"You're the only one who can do this for me, Lord Cardis."
"I'm sorry SihyeonI think it would be comfortable for Andras if he could talk with a guy."
"You're the only one who can talk comfortably to Andras among us, Senior."
"Ugh."
I couldn't turn down the expectation in the eyes of the three, so I nodded my head.
A small tree house away from the farm building.
It was Andras' workshop that was built with the help of the Barbatos engineers.
KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK.
When I knocked on the door, I heard a sign of someone moving from the inside.
And soon Andras appeared in front of me.
"Huh? Sihyeon? What brings you here?"
He looked quite surprised at my unexpected visit.
Considering the work noise and the workshop that was built a little far away, I was not very interested in coming here. So, my visit to this place might come as a shock to Andras.
I showed the basket I brought with me with an awkward expression.
I brought some snacks and drinks.
Is that so? Thank you very much, Sihyeon."
When he heard that I had brought him snacks, he smiled brightly without any doubt.
He welcomed me more than I thought, so I felt a little guilty.
I'm sorry, Andras I'll bring you snacks often from now on.
I swallowed my apologies and took out the snacks.
We thought it would be hard to eat inside the workshop, so we took two chairs and sat outside.
The snack I prepared was a cake from a famous bakery and some lemonade that my mother made.
The prepared plastic plates and glasses were taken out, and pieces of cake and lemonade were served.
"Thank you for the food, Sihyeon."
"There's more in the basket, so eat comfortably."
Andras emptied the piece of cake on his plate quickly as if saying he liked the taste of the cake.
I started the conversation while taking another piece of cake out of the basket.
"I guess you have a lot of artifacts to work on today as well?"
"I'm not making a new one, but, I'm checking the artifacts I've been using one by one. It's annoying, but I have to check and replace parts regularly to maintain their performance."
"I see."
I responded vaguely to his story and slowly brought up Amy's story.
" So, what happened to Amy? I thought you guys were working together."
FLINCH.
Andras trembled slightly, and his expression hardened slightly.
I waited nervously for his answer.
"There's nothing. I said I'd work alone today."
"What? Why? Amy seems to want to help you. Why not take her help?"
"That's."
He hesitated for a moment to answer.
He put down the cake he had been eating for a while, darkened his expression, and slowly opened his mouth.
"Miss Amy used to talk to me a lot when she was in the Germour Wizardry. It's not unusual for the members to interact with each other about magic, so I thought she was interested in my magic."
"Um?"
"I was glad at first that she was interested in my work even after coming to the farm, but recently I felt a little strange."
Oh! Did he notice?
At first, I didn't want to poke my nose into other peoples personal affairs, but at this point, it was so exciting that I unconsciously immersed myself in the story.
"She kept following me around with some artificial made-up excuses, muttering that she wanted me to visit the Wizardry oftenI felt strange and thought about it. But, suddenly something struck me"
!!
"I think Amy is a spy sent by Commander Agrun."
"??"
No What?
Commander Agrun, isnt that the white-haired old grandfather-like person I saw at my swearing-in ceremony?
Why did he come out of nowhere?
Andras didn't notice my facial expression being distorted and continued with his thoughts.
"She must have been ordered to monitor my every move and urge me to return to the Wizardry as soon as possible. It's obviously the trick of Commander Agrun to make me the next Commander of the Wizardry."
"
You idiot!
I barely endured the swear words that came up to the tip of my tongue.
If Lia, who supports affectionate love, was here, she would have screamed at Andras' absurd remarks.
Where did it go wrong?
Did all of Andras love cells die?
How can he not know when everything was as clear as day?
While I was thinking about what to do with the dense guy, he was still explaining his conspiracy theory to me with a serious face.
I sighed loudly. Then I put my hands forward and blocked his nonsense.
Ugh Andras, wait a minute.
What, Sihyeon?
For now, let's put all your delusions aside. Let's reconsider Amy's behavior."
"?"
"I heard that she has been following Andras since she was in the Wizardry, right? And when she came to the farm, she did the same. But, she wasn't interested in magic. That's what you're saying, right? And she wants to be together with you. She cooked food for you yesterday, right?"
"Yes, that's right."
Don't you understand whats going on here?
..?
Andras looked at me with a look saying he has no idea.
I drank a glass of lemonade next to me in frustration.
I was sure when I saw Andras' puzzled expression. This person's sense of love is clearly below the level of an elementary school kid.
"Andras, do you remember the first time you taught Speranza how to write?"
"Oh! Of course, I remember."
"At that time, Speranza kept following you to ask about the letters."
Andras smiled quietly, recalling the old days.
"Haha, she did."
It was a time when Andras and Speranza were a little awkward with each other.
They got very close as Andras started taking the role of the teacher.
Lia was jealous because Speranza chased after Andras to ask what she didn't know.
"When Speranza was chasing you, what did you think, Andras?"
"I was pleased. Because I could enjoy the joy of teaching whenever she asked questions with sparkling eyes."
"And what else?"
I felt very happy because I felt like my relationship with Speranza got better. I didn't teach her anything that great, but she called me Teacher, and she lov..ed spending time with me."
Andras stopped talking for a moment and stared blankly into space.
And after a while, he slowly turned his head and looked at me.
Thank god, you arent at the level of a kindergarten kid.
..?!!
I grinned at Andras, who seemed to have realized something.
"Ha, but obviously Commander Agrun's ruse
He began to sprout gibberish as if denying reality.
I asked, cutting his nonsense.
"Do you remember what was her expression when she was with you? Think about it."
"You probably will only remember her smiling face. Because she was always smiling when she was with Andras."
Ah
He put down the cake plate and held his head with both hands.
He was confused at first, frowned gradually, and blushed at the end.
It was pretty exciting to watch the ever-changing expression of Andras, who doesn't usually show his emotions.
Leaving the distressed Andras alone, I quietly packed the plates and glasses into the basket.
And as soon as I stood up
Andras grabbed my arm.
"Oh, where are you going, Sihyeon?"
"I have to go prepare dinner now."
"You can't go like this. A little more talk what should I do now?"
Contrary to his desperate expression, my face continued to be filled with a playful smile.
"Why do you ask me that, Andras? It's up to you. You're not an elementary school kid."
"That, this is the first time someone ever had this kind of"
"You can do whatever you want. That's my answer."
I shook off his grip and moved.
Andras lay face down on the floor, clasped my pants, and hung down.
"Argh! Let go! My pants are coming off!"
"I can't, Sihyeon! You have to help me. Let's talk a little more"
In front of the workshop, the scuffle between me and Andras continued for a while.
