Chapter 20

“Sorry, I’m sorry. That’s me. I don’t have friends, and I don’t talk to people very well, so… Do you think it’s an appropriate level? I don’t know that well…” 

In other words, it was less socialized. Edwin took a deep breath, exhaled once more, and exhaled a third time before he opened his mouth. 

“Then I will be Miss Amelia’s first friend.”

“Yes? Friend?”

“Do you not like it?”

 “No, I don’t hate it…” 

Rather than dislike it, I was kind of excited and happy. friend, friend. Amelia said that being that friend would have nothing to do with her for the rest of her life.

She added with a little naive face. 

“I, but aren’t my friends the same age?”

“It’s not just that. How old is Miss Amelia?” 

He had no doubts that Amelia would be a lot younger than him. You’ve been running a bookstore since last year, so now you’re only twenty? In fact, if I hadn’t read the frankly lewd novels, I might have thought I was younger. Because she had a very young face, and he had that feeling in his words and actions rather than her appearance. 

“I am twenty-four years old. How about you Edwin?”

So, as soon as I heard Amelia’s answer, It hardened like a smiling face. After a short silence, Edwin replied calmly. 

“Oh, I’m, um, one year younger.” 

“Oh really? I thought it would be older, but it wasn’t. But it’s my first time making friends, so what do you usually do with friends?” 

Contrary to his embarrassment, Amelia tilted her head lightly. 

“I do not know. In my case, horseback riding.”

 “Riding?” A scene from the novel flashed in Amelia’s head.

“Every time the horse moves, the c̲o̲c̲k̲ embedded in its stomach pierces the inside. It felt as if the intestines were being stirred. It was obvious even without looking at how lustful the underside of the skirt was.”

 Edwin continued. “When playing games like poker or chess, there is.” 

“Game…….? A scene from another novel flashed through Amelia’s mind.

“I won the match. As promised, will you take off all your underwear, miss?” Her white cheeks were dyed redder than the sunset. Whatever bet he made, he was confident. But why, why did you lose? She didn’t know it was an unwinnable fight in the first place. Because I didn’t know that everyone in this gambling room was on one side.” 

“And……?” Edwin continued his conversation, and looked at Amelia, who felt it too obvious to think differently, and kept his mouth shut.

Why? Why do I feel like I know what she’s thinking? Maybe it was because I knew she was older than me, so the casually called name came out a bit awkward. Amelia, who had always been steady in answering her thoughts even though she had other thoughts, nodded her head blankly again this time. 

“Yes.”

 “Are you going to clean up the bookstore now?” 

But when the word bookstore came out, she cleared her thoughts and opened her eyes. In fact, even Amelia was hesitating. It’s only now, but I’m having a good time, but more than anyone else, it’s her that won’t last long because he knows better. 

“When I stopped by two days ago, regular customers were worried about Miss Amelia. He said that he was owed a lot during that time, but he couldn’t even say thank you.”

 “Are you wearing it? I didn’t do anything big enough to hear thanks….”

 Amelia widened her eyes with a face that she didn’t really know. It seemed like this too. Edwin, who was strangely happy when the same reaction as expected returned, forgot the awkwardness and continued.

 “If your mind is in order, why not open the door again?”

 “But I have already reported the closure of the business. And it is said that he stole everything that could make money other than books.”

“You have to prepare again to receive it.” 

“As long as Miss Amelia is okay, I will take care of the preparation for you. And I would like to pay more attention to security and do the internal construction again…….”

 In a form that Amelia must be aware of once someone enters. Edwin said he would take care of it, but there was no reason for her to refuse. But is it really necessary to do the internal work again?

 “I’m still fine.”

 “Is it because you are worried?”

 “why?” 

It seems that Edwin doesn’t really know.
