    ◈ Episode 235 Accidental Encounter (2)

    Merilda leaned her back against the street lamp and glanced inside the restaurant.

    He even wore a wide-brimmed hat to avoid being discovered.

    It was so embarrassing that it couldn’t even be called a disguise but at least Merilda believed that she had put on a solid disguise and watched Selina and Ludger’s date(?).

    ‘Good job Selina. ‘You made it to the store safely.’

    There was a brief disturbance at the entrance so I wondered if something had happened but fortunately it didn’t seem to be that.

    But I couldn’t be relieved anymore.

    The real problem starts after the meal is over.

    Merilda could only pray that Selina would carefully plan her next move while eating.

    And Hans watched Merilda from a distance.

    Hans leaning against the wall casually pretends to read a newspaper and gazes at Merilda.

    ‘That woman. ‘I’m even disguising myself to spy on you!’

    I don’t know what her plan was but I was planning to keep a close eye on her to make sure things didn’t go as she wanted.

    * * *

    Ludger and Selina ordered the menu recommended by the chef and waited for their food to come out.

    Sitting facing each other.

    Selina just smiled brightly as if she was happy about this situation itself.

    Since it was quite an uncomfortable situation to just sit still like this Ludger cautiously opened his mouth.

    “You look very happy.”

    “yes? Is that so?”

    “yes. “It’s natural since it’s a long-awaited vacation but I was worried that I might have wasted your time for no reason but I’m glad you did.”

    “no! You don’t have to! On the contrary I feel fortunate to have met Professor Ludger.”

    “Thank you for saying that.”

    The food I ordered came out just in time.

    As various dishes were laid out on the table Selina was impressed and then widened her eyes in confusion.

    “Huh? “You didn’t order this?”

    Additional food that was not ordered was brought out.

    At those words the employee looked at Ludger and hesitated to answer.

    At that time an astute manager came forward and spoke.

    “This is a special service. “The lady who came to our store today was so beautiful that the chef said it gave him strength.”

    Selina laughed as if she was embarrassed by the words that flowed out of her mouth naturally.

    Ludger signaled to the manager with his eyes that he had done well.

    The manager bowed his head.

    ‘I’ve given you proper education.’

    Ludger lifted the silverware with satisfaction.

    The food itself was quite delicious. Because it was a dish served to the owner the chef put all his effort into making it.

    “More than that Miss Selina how did you come to think of coming here to Royal Street?”

    “Oh didn’t you know Mr. Ludger? “It’s very famous here these days.”

    “Famous?”

    “yes. It’s the new street of youth. Seoren students also came here often. “I also came because I had time after hearing the story.”

    Selina answered without even asking if she was happy to have a topic to talk about.

    “It is said that the clothes produced by Royal Street are much more comfortable to wear and have a prettier design than existing clothes. In fact there is a rumor going around that a famous designer in the capital praised the House of Verdi’s dresses after seeing them.”

    “Hoo. “That happened.”

    “oh. Come to think of it aren’t the clothes that Teacher Ludger is wearing brand new?”

    “You mean this?”

    Ludger nodded looking at his clothes.

    In fact it was not wrong to say that Violetta the manager of the [House of Verdi] made it herself.

    On the contrary it was made to order something beyond new but there is no need to say that.

    “yes. you’re right.”

    “and. It’s amazing. “I heard that men’s clothing is also very competitive so they only operate on a reservation system.”

    “I was lucky.”

    “Looking at that outfit I think I can see why it became famous. The clothes are really nice. Oh of course that doesn’t mean there’s a shortage of Mr. Ludger! Just clothes! “It’s an evaluation of clothes!”

    “I know. “Have you heard anything else about this Royal Street?”

    Ludger wanted to hear what kind of evaluation the Royal Street he runs would be received from a third party’s perspective.

    “First of all it is famous as a fashion street but we can’t ignore other aspects right? “The most famous one among them is something called a musical.”

    Is it a musical?

    Ludger remembered the stocky stature of Pinion.

    Ludger knows that he is working hard but in work effort and performance are usually not proportional.

    However according to rumors the musical has received rave reviews and is said to have a role in attracting people in itself.

    They say that every ticket sold is sold out.

    “In fact they say that other teachers are very envious of people who get tickets to musicals.”

    “It’s surprising that it’s popular among teachers as well.”

    “Oh and the street of culture and art is also worth seeing. Did you say that the street itself was painted in a painting? “Students also say they come out to see it often.”

    Ludger nodded but suddenly a question occurred to him.

    Students come here often?

    Surely you wouldn’t have looked into this place?

    * * *

    Cheryl Wagner walked lightly down the street illuminated by the warm sun.

    Now before summer has completely arrived the weather is most suitable for walking outside so I couldn’t walk around like this at any other time.

    The place Cheryl visited was [Royal Street] which is said to be popular among students recently.

    Originally I wanted to come out with Flora but I couldn’t.

    -Why do I go to places like that?

    The reason was that Flora did not like to move around outside the original body so she immediately rejected Cheryl’s offer.

    Although Cheryl was disappointed she thought there was nothing she could do and went out alone.

    ‘Okay whatever. I should enjoy it to the fullest even if it’s just by myself before heading back.’

    Even though I say that it is true that I am worried about Flora who is left alone.

    Flora pretends to be blunt on the outside but is a soft child on the inside so she probably takes it into her heart that she is the only one out there.

    ‘I’ll have to buy at least a souvenir to give to Flora when I go back.’

    Cheryl who was walking down the street with that thought in mind stopped.

    I found a familiar person on a street where many people were walking around.

    ‘Mr. Merilda?’

    Cheryl recognized Merilda right away.

    As a second-year student she had no contact with first-year teacher Merilda but it was impossible not to know that she was Cheryl who listened closely to all the stories inside Seorn.

    Merilda wearing a hat was hiding behind a street lamp and watching somewhere.

    No matter how you looked at it it was an eye-catching sight.

    ‘What on earth are you looking at like that?’

    Cheryl watched Merilda’s secret gaze out of sight.

    What Merilda is watching is the interior of a restaurant crowded with customers.

    Cheryl was able to find two familiar people inside.

    Her eyes widened.

    ‘omg! ‘It’s Teacher Ludger and Teacher Selina?!’

    There are many teachers in Seorn and if you ask them to name a famous person among them there is always a big debate.

    Because there were many prominent people among teachers.

    However there was no room for disagreement among new teachers or teachers whose names appeared most recently.

    The male teacher is Ludger Cellisi.

    The female teacher was Selina.

    Both of them were handsome and talented so they were popular among students.

    Those two people are now having a meal together at a restaurant.

    ‘What are you doing? What are you two?! date? ‘Is this a date?!’

    Selina who was kind and smiled at everyone and Ludger who always had an expressionless or cold expression were people who stood on the complete opposite side of each other.

    But seeing the two people sitting across from each other like that was like looking at a painting.

    Selina speaks with a bright spring-like smile and Ludger is quiet but nods his head while listening.

    I didn’t want to admit it but there was something strangely fitting about it.

    ‘This can’t be right. ‘I can’t believe I found such an interesting situation!’

    Sheryl was exposed to all kinds of rumors and information within Seorn so she didn’t want to miss out on this scoop.

    ‘Did the two teachers really have a relationship like that?’

    Suddenly Cheryl remembered something tripping.

    ‘wait for a sec. And what about Flora?’

    Her friend Flora wouldn’t admit it but Cheryl knew.

    That she is particularly interested in things related to Ludger.

    But if Selina and Ludger are like that what about Flora? What was your best childhood friend’s first love?

    Cheryl shook her head to shake off the anxious thoughts.

    ‘Oh no. Probably not. It would just be like having a meal together as co-workers. It certainly has to be that way.’

    However Cheryl felt that her love sensor was reacting strongly a little while ago.

    I don’t know about Ludger but Teacher Selina’s attitude was almost confident.

    Those eyes! That smile!

    It was an appearance that could only be seen by someone who was attracted to the opposite sex.

    ‘It’s a big deal!’

    Flora has a rival.

    Moreover it wasn’t just a rivalry it was a huge barrier.

    Selina has a pretty face a good personality and is Seorn’s teacher so she has a decent title.

    They say they are commoners but what does that mean these days?

    ‘I’m happy just watching good-looking men and good-looking women walking around together but Flora is more precious to me…!’

    Cheryl thought.

    Nothing has been confirmed yet.

    ‘I’m sorry to Teacher Selina but you still don’t know how Teacher Ludger feels right? So there’s still a chance.’

    However the important thing was that if the date was successful now Flora might be at a disadvantage.

    After much thought Cheryl came up with an answer.

    ‘Let’s watch for now. If you feel like it’s getting a little dangerous while watching you’ll interfere!’

    Although he said it was for Flora’s sake if he were to be honest the biggest reason was that he thought it would be fun for him.

    Cheryl immediately went into a nearby store and bought clothes.

    To hide his identity he changed his clothes and even wore sunglasses on his face.

    The disguise was perfect.

    Now we just have to wait and see how things go.

    And there was someone watching Sheryl like that with an expression of bewilderment.

    ‘What is that again?’

    Hans who had been observing the situation through a newspaper found it difficult to suppress his feelings of embarrassment when he saw the new person suddenly involved.

    ‘You’re a student why did you suddenly disguise yourself as soon as you saw your brother?’

    As a student I watched the show with interest and felt that there was something planned(?) in it.

    ‘Could it be that they are also aiming for something from you?’

    Seorn is the best academy on the continent.

    The students attending there should not be viewed as ordinary children of the same age.

    Maybe that student knew something and was targeting Ludger.

    ‘Damn. It’s annoying. There are already people I need to pay attention to but I never thought another person would increase here.’

    It would have been better if the matter had ended there.

    When Hans looked away from Cheryl Wagner and looked at the restaurant his eyes widened.

    ‘Uh huh?’

    A person is just entering the building from the entrance of the restaurant.

    Although Hans did not have the ability to tell people apart just by looking at their backs the hair color that looked vaguely familiar still clearly existed in Hans’ memory.

    How could you not know?

    That hair color is as blue as water and as clear as the sky.

    ‘This is definitely the detective who has been following you for three years!’

    Casey Selmore.

    She took her assistant Betty and visited the restaurant where Ludger was eating.

    ‘It’s going to spin really!’

    Hans felt dizzy.

    * * *

    Ludger pulled information from the various stories Selina told him.

    Indeed the situation on Royal Street described in the report was not an exaggeration.

    no.

    In some ways the contents of the report were underestimated compared to actual people’s perceptions.

    ‘Even so I didn’t expect that not only the students but also the teachers would be interested.’

    Ludger lent the business idea and did not hesitate to invest in order to achieve success.

    I made this choice knowing that it would be successful but I was a little dumbfounded by the outcome which was much bigger than I expected.

    ‘I used knowledge based on my memories of living on Earth but it exceeded my expectations.’

    If you think about it he was a person who was far from cultural life and was mainly focused on studying.

    It was like that in my past life and nothing much has changed now.

    As a result although I had knowledge about cultural life I could not calculate how much of an impact it would have on people.

    ‘Should I call this good or not?’

    If the scale grew this much the city of Lederbelk was bound to be interested.

    Where is the interest?

    Other nobles will also notice the industry taking place on Royal Street and will try to follow it or steal it.

    ‘The real purpose hasn’t even begun yet.’

    This is just a basic step.

    In the future Royal Street will expand its influence throughout the city of Lederbelk.

    By placing children and elderly women in charge of business sites information is collected more quickly and reliably.

    The heart of a huge information network comprised only of members of society.

    This street now plays that role.

    If that happens who will come into Lederbelk and who will leave?

    And what else are you planning?

    You can hold it all in your hand and look at it clearly.

    ‘It’s a good thing in the end so it’s right to be happy.’

    Ludger took a sip of the coffee that came with his meal and gathered his thoughts.

    At that time a new customer sat down at the empty table next to us.

    “I am indeed. Casey. Why did you suddenly ask me to go here?”

    “I heard it’s a famous restaurant these days so why did I come here to eat?”

    “Then you’ll come alone why are you dragging me along too! “I know I can’t eat it anyway!”

    “If I even pretend to eat where will it go? Besides how can someone eat alone?”

    “You always do that when I’m not around. “Casey has no friends.”

    “Why don’t you be quiet?”

    The voices of the two women bickering looked somewhat familiar.

    As Ludger naturally turned his gaze the other person also turned his head in this direction.

    “hmm?”

    “uh?”

    “Huh?”

    Just as Ludger recognized the other person the other person also recognized Ludger.

    Casey Selmore.

    She stared at Ludger in disbelief.
