Chapter 112.2

“Call it being young or something…”

“My youth has retired. I overdid it.”

“… But, you were so cute, so I don’t regret it. Rather, I am completely satisfied.”

No, I am completely satisfied too, but… that’s… but, if Dirk’s happy, then I might be fine with it… it’s fine, no? I pulled on Dirk’s sleeve.

“… Let’s come again.”

“Yeah. Let’s choose the clothes together the next time.”

“Yup.”

We finally laughed. Miss Butterfly who was looking at us warmly noticed our rings.

“Oh my? You guys are wearing rings on your ring fingers. They are of matching design too…”

We are engaged, so I had the same merchant make Dirk’s ring too. Dirk’s is much simpler than mine, but the blue gem and the Riccar flower design is the same.

“Ah, that’s a foreign country’s custom.”

I explained about the Beneficiary’s custom of exchanging engagement rings.

“This will sell! This will be popular! Rather, I will make it popular!”

And, several years later, exchanging engagement rings truly became the custom of Christia, but that’s a different story.

“Ah, these are the meat pie and cream puffs recipes. Things like the correct heat levels for the pie might be difficult to grasp.”

“Well, I will do something about that. What about the payment…”

“Ah, how about the next time we come- “No way!”

I was super scolded by Miss Butterfly. She was happy about the trust, articles like these apparently require proper compensation, which these recipes were deserving of. I was persuaded that merchants who don’t value their business partners won’t be able to enjoy future relationships with them, so I received a considerable amount.

“Eh, this much?”

“It’s a justifiable compensation! Best regards in the future.”

Thus, receiving a reward from Dirk, I returned home with great satisfaction.

It’s just I was writhing each time I recalled the embarrassing things we did, so I was looked at with tepid eyes by my family and spirits for a while.
