I Became the Childhood Friend of the Northern Duchess - Chapter 246



246 – Side Story – To the World He Was in (1)

Everyone has probably imagined at least once a place that is completely different from the world they live in.

However, even if you vaguely imagine what kind of world it is, it is not easy to come up with a specific picture.

This wasn’t much different just because it was Ariel.

She had always heard about the world he lived in from Edgar, but each time she did, she had to feel a sense of self-deprecation at her own poor imagination of hers.

There are flying balloons and means of transportation that run without carriages, and the buildings are all so tall that they remind one of Robeheim Castle, and the lights of the buildings do not go out even after dawn.

At least, there were only things that were incomprehensible to the common sense of the world she lived in.

“Wow…”

In the different world she arrived in, Ariel could not help but exclaim when she witnessed the scene he had spoken of with her own eyes.

“How is it? “Is that literally?”

“Yes, really. Even if you look up from the bottom of the building, you can’t see the end.”

Even Robeheim Castle is not like this.

In terms of height, the apartment she was currently looking up at was much higher.

“So this whole house is yours, Ed?”

“No way. “The place we just came to is the house I lived in, and the rest are all private spaces.”

“I see…”

In other words, even in Robeheim Castle, each individually divided room is a home.

Of course, it will be a little bigger than that.

Anyway, the sight she had never seen before was so amazing that she could not keep her mouth shut.

Everything was new and good, except for the fact that I was a little concerned about the big clothes that Edgar had given me a while ago, flapping around.

“Are your clothes okay? I don’t have any women’s clothes at home…”

“It’s a little big, but it’s still worth wearing.”

Ariel responded, flapping the wide hoodie she was wearing.

For some reason, it seems like his clothes smell like him.

Moreover, it also has a strange scent, as if you were spraying a subtle perfume.

Ariel, who was examining the material of the light purple hoodie by touching it and examining it in detail, suddenly realized one thing.

‘Does not having women’s clothes in the house mean that there was no need to bring women in?’

At first, the excessively large clothes were a bit uncomfortable, but when I think about it that way, I actually feel happy.

In the past, Edgar said that she had never had a romantic relationship, so perhaps that also included her story in this world.

As soon as her thoughts reached that point, her curiosity finally arose.

I don’t want to be a narrow-minded woman who digs into other people’s pasts, but what can she do when she’s curious?

In the end, Ariel could not bear it anymore and she carefully called his name

“Ed.”

“Huh?”

When his head turned to her, Ariel was shocked for a moment.

Before she brought up the story, she decided to lay the groundwork for him in case he thought something strange.

“This isn’t jealousy, I’m just asking because I’m curious… “Have you never had a lover in this world?”

“Lover? Why suddenly?”

“Well, I was just curious because I heard there were no women’s clothes at home…”

Even if you had a lover, you may not have women’s clothes.

Unless you were a couple in the first place, you wouldn’t be living together.

However, since she does not know the concept of this world, she asked just in case.

“Why? Do you wish there was one?”

In response, Edgar looked at Ariel in a coy tone and gave her a playful smile.

Although she said she was n’t jealous, her wife’s true feelings were clearly visible in his eyes hers hers.

However, it didn’t feel like obsession; it just felt like a cute lover’s obsession.

“Well, that’s right… ” I wish there weren’t, but…”

“But?”

When Edgar repeated her words, wondering if there was more to the story, Ariel’s face turned red and she screamed.

“Yes, yes! I hope there is no other woman in the past besides me! Is it okay?”

“kk, okay. As you said, there was no lover in this world either, so you don’t have to worry.”

Edgar, who had been joking and dragging his feet on his answer spoke the truth.

She doesn’t really want Ariel to feel jealous of her, so she’s not just making things up, she’s really never had a lover.

“What? “Really?”

However, since this was quite an unexpected answer for Ariel, she opened her eyes and asked again.

That’s because, in his eyes, Edgar was the most wonderful man in the world, and he thought it was strange that a woman did not fall in love with him.

Of course, even if I were honest, I couldn’t bear to say such embarrassing words in front of him.

“Yes, really?”

“Why?”

“I wonder why… Because it wasn’t popular.”

Edgar tilted his head, wondering if this was some kind of advanced water feeding.

But Ariel just looked up at him blankly, with a look in her eyes that said she really didn’t understand.

Edgar, who was staring at this, slightly bent down and gave a bird kiss.

Side. When the two people’s faces separated with an adorable sound, Ariel blushed and quickly looked around.

Fortunately, there were no passers-by.

“Are you crazy? Outside like this…”

“What are you going to say? Besides, we’re a couple, so what’s wrong?”

In the past, even during the succession ceremony, she had always kissed her lips in front of others, but Edgar was shocked to hear her say this.

Was this something called Naeronambul in the world he lived in?

“Anyway, don’t be jealous for no reason. Because you took everything from me.”

“It’s my first time… “For some reason, the expression is strange.”

“It’s true, but what?”

Edgar shrugged his shoulders and responded differently.

I don’t mean it in a particularly strange sense, but most of the new experiences he had were with Ariel.

It does not just refer to the affectionate actions of lovers.

Even when I was her friend, I would experience many new things with her.

If the event that brought about the greatest change in his life his his was the move to this world, then the person who brought about the greatest change in his life his his was Ariel.

“So today I’ll show you something new.” Let’s go.”

“It’s something new…” ” “What?”

“I have to lose to get my money’s worth, so follow me. There isn’t much time.”

You can only stay here for three days.

You have to do everything you want during those three days.

It is an opportunity that you never know will come again.

So Edgar decided to make the most of his remaining time and make precious memories with her.

*

The first thing the two did as soon as they came into town was shopping.

Even if it’s only for three days, I have to find clothes that Ariel can wear.

Fortunately, Edgar had plenty of money.

Even before going to the other world, he had never really spent any extravagant money, and since he had inherited an inheritance from his parents, he was rather wealthy to live alone.

“Didn’t you buy too much? “In this world, you too are a commoner.”

Meanwhile, Ariel looked somewhat embarrassed as she looked at the shopping bag in her hand.

Just looking at the cancer alone, there were too many of them to even have clothes to wear for three days.

Except for a few bourgeoisie people, there is quite a bit of perception in Ariel’s mind that commoners = people with poor circumstances.

In a way, it may be a natural difference in common sense since he is not just a noble, but even among the nobles, he is at the top of the food chain.

In the other world, she had a lot of money and was rich, so she spent whatever she could, but she wasn’t so stupid that she couldn’t tell when to spend it and when not.

So she expressed her concern to Edgar, but he just laughed at her, as if he thought it was cute that she was worried.

“Even if you’re not a noble, you can afford to buy this much, so don’t worry. “The clothes are prettier than that.”

“Yeah, really? It’s a bit awkward because it’s an unfamiliar fabric…”

While she was happy about his praise her, Ariel kept moving her body as it felt smoother than the clothes she wore in the other world.

In particular, these jeans were the most awkward.

It sticks to the body like a stocking and is a bit heavier. Still, it’s easier to move than I thought.

It makes me wonder what material it is made of to create this feeling.

“You will gradually get used to it. By the way, how about the clothes? Do you like it?”

“That’s because it’s the clothes you chose…” ” Above all, I like it because it’s not flashy.”

Ariel’s attire now was the commonly seen attire of women.

A slightly overfitting white shirt and a beige knit that can be worn over it.

Originally, Edgar was going to wear a cuter style, but this outfit seemed to go well with her sassy personality, so she decided to go with this.

After all, you can only see her in different clothes when you get home.

For now, I thought it would be best for her to wear clothes that would allow her to move around comfortably.

“Anyway, there are so many people… I don’t think there are that many in the ecliptic.”

“This is the representative downtown area where I live. “It always feels like this.”

When Ariel couldn’t keep her mouth shut as she watched the people passing by on the streets of Apgujeong, Edgar kindly added an explanation.

Actually, she originally planned to go to a place with more things to see, such as Hongdae.

However, Edgar was a bit blind to that place, and Apgujeong, which she visited relatively often, seemed to be an easy place to guide her, so she decided on this place.

Anyway, if you get bored here, you can move quickly.

The biggest advantage of this world is transportation.

While I was looking around with Ariel to show her around, she pulled on her arm and pointed at something.

“Ed, what is that?”

That was none other than a street vendor selling tteokbokki.

Judging by the large crowd of people around, it seems to be quite popular for a street vendor.

“That? It’s called tteokbokki, and it’s quite spicy. “It’s the food I enjoyed eating in this world.”

“How spicy is it?”

“Hmm, it’s a bit difficult to express… “If you eat it for the first time, your mouth will usually be on fire, right?”

“Well, is it that much?”

Even when viewed from a distance, the bright red appearance felt quite intense.

But fire comes out of your mouth. Just how much is it?

On the one hand, I felt anxious, but since Ariel said it was his favorite food, I felt a desire to take on the challenge.

Her competitive spirit had always been strong, so it was unlikely that she would be broken at once by her spicy words.

“I want to try it.”

“You want to try it? Are you okay?”

“I’m not a kid, and I’m past the age of whining over spicy food. “Don’t be surprised.”

Ariel is determined to empty the bowl cleanly.

Because of her determined profile her her her, Edgar had no choice but to move in front of her stall without being able to stop her.

All I can hope for now is that her tongue can withstand the unexpectedly spicy taste.

And I hope the tteokbokki at this store is not that spicy.

It was just that much.
