The Extra Refuses Excessive Obsession - Chapter 21

***

“Did you enjoy shopping?”

“Yes, it was fun. Brother, you look a little tired.”

“There’s a lot of work today.”

Bastian smiled reluctantly.

It certainly does seem so. The desk was full of documents. Looking at it now, it’s a bit sad.

“Take it easy.”

“But I still have time for you, so feel free to talk to me.”

I know it’s all talk, but it wasn’t too bad. It’s good to hear empty words.

Then Bastian asked me, who was gently stroking my head.

“By the way, what’s going on? At this hour.”

“Oh, I want to give you this.”

I held out the box I was holding. Bastian’s eyes grew bigger.

“What is this?”

“It’s a gift. I bought it on the street.”

“…why did you buy all this?”

“You gave me a present, too.”

Although it’s a tool for killing people.

“Open it.”

I shrugged and said. Bastian, who was staring at me, slowly opened the box.

Inside was a cuff button with sapphires. I went to a men’s clothing store and chose it because it was similar to the color of Bastian’s eyes. I proudly beamed a smile. It is so pretty even when I just saw it once again. As expected, my aesthetic sense has not died yet.

I am not sure if he would look good with just the cuff buttons in the store, but the light illuminated in Bastian’s hands.

“I did choose something pretty in my eyes, but I hope my brother likes it too.”

But humility is a virtue. I added more nonchalantly out of envy.

Bastian pulled up his gaze towards me from the cuffs button.

“Thank you, Amel.”

“What for?”

In fact, the gift contained some feelings of apologies for sneaking into the mineral market.

Bastian and Leonhardt may be completely clueless, but I have a guilty conscience.

I’m sorry, but your sister is still looking for a way to live.

Bastian, who never knew what I was thinking, put the box down and asked affectionately.

“Are you going straight to the annex? I will take you home.”

“Oh, no. It’s okay. Just continue what you are doing.”

I stopped Bastian, who was about to take me to the annex.

I would have accepted it at any other time, but not now. I have to go to my second brother.

Bastian seemed to have caught on it roughly due to my rejection.

He then gave me a light kiss on the forehead, he sent me a luminous greeting. In this regard, the difference between my first and second brothers were revealed.

If the person in front of me was Leonhardt, he would have taken me to the annex, asking where I went too.

There is a reason why I came to my first brother first.

As soon as I left the hallway of his office, the next person for me to visit suddenly appeared.

“Amelia!”

“Argh!”

It was the ceiling this time.

“Sorry, little one. Are you surprised?”

Leonhardt tilted his head. It was an innocent look at the subject that popped out of the ceiling. Don’t you know just by looking at it? You really don’t know? He shook his shoulders and smiled shyly when I didn’t answer.

“Our youngest, your surprised face is cute, too.”

I knew this would happen. Now that I see it, it is clear that he enjoys my reaction. Why on earth don’t you appear normally? Uniqueness is that what you are aiming for? Really?

Struggling to laugh a few beats slower, while I am holding on to my startled heart.

“Oh, haha. Brother Leon?”

“Hmm?”

“Please walk around our home.”

He is good at answering this time, too. As expected, he didn’t seem to listen to it even with the back of his ear, so he gave up half and asked.

“But what are you doing here? Yours is on the other side of my room.”

“I’ve been waiting for our youngest.”

“Here?”

“Yes, I saw you coming out from the annex.”

In short, it means that he had watched me enter the main building and went to the Bastian Oval Office.

At this point, I thought I had a tracker on me, but I decided to let it slide.

It is on my side that my life would be reduced if I am being hit by each of these things. Actually, I’m not surprised anymore.

“Ah, I see. Then take this.”

I answered out of grace and put the box down on his hand.

Leonhardt’s cat-like eyes blinked slowly.

“What is it?”

“Gift.”

Leonhardt asked with a sip of emotion with his mouth closed. His shining golden eyes glistened as if they were pouring diamonds out of exaggeration.

It’s amazing that his response is so big, unlike the oldest.

“Is it really my gift?”

“Yes, it’s yours.”

“Our youngest sister chose this gift thinking about me.”

I told him, Leonhardt, who opened the box in time, and exclaimed, ‘Wow.’

“Do you really want this for me?”

“Yes, I didn’t know what you liked, so I bought something that would look good on you.”

Leonhardt’s gift was a brooch. A well-crafted emerald jewel was embedded in a colorful platinum ornament.

Unlike Bastian, who usually does not wear accessories, Leonhardt wears necklaces, earrings and rings.

It has a splendid design that would catch everyone’s eye.

But since his face is that kind of face, these kinds of decorations fit him well.

T/n: She is assuming that his face itself is magnanimous as it is.

As expected, the best accessory is the face. Our second oldest brother’s face is the best.

Leonhardt’s eyes were rolling as he looked down at the gift.

“…Keuk.”

Are you crying?

“Our youngest sister is all grown up and bought a present for her brother.”

He carefully stroked the pendant. He looked moved. It is good enough for him to shed tears.

While holding the brooch in his arms, he spoke as if he had made up his mind.

“Young sis, I’ve decided.”

“…what?”

I don’t know what it is, but I’m nervous. And Leonhardt’s grim remarks made my concerns a reality.

“I need to designate this as our new heirloom. This will be preserved in a glass safe and through preservation magic for a thousand years and passed down to generations. A gift from our youngest sister. Like that.”

“What do you think, little sis? That’s a good idea, right?

No, I don’t agree with you.

“…I will do it often enough.”

Anyway, if you leave him alone, he’ll rush without the brakes on.

What’s even scarier is that the words he uttered are 100% genuine without any exaggeration.

I shook my head deplorably and quickly changed the subject.

“By the way, did you stay home all day today? You’re full of life.”

Actually, I thought you’d be upset the whole time because I left you behind. Leonhardt, who I met once again, is in better shape than I thought. Of course, I don’t want my second brother to be depressed, but it is true that I am a little curious.

This guy is not such a lively person.

“Did you drink without me knowing anything?”

“…huh?”

“Why are you so energetic today? You were so sullen this morning.”

Leonhardt awkwardly avoided my eye contact with my question again.

While rolling his eyes around, he folded his eyes in half a beat slower.

“Well, I cleaned up today.”

“Cleaned?”

“Swipe here, wipe there, then move, and so on.”

He smiled innocently.

On the other hand, he couldn’t hide his absurdity.

No, the duke, the second son cleaned all by himself? There are staff. No matter how long I fell into this world, I knew it didn’t make sense.

I wondered if it was because Leonhardt had been on post at the tower for more than 10 years, but I came to the conclusion that the second child of my family would have had other wizards work there, but not cleaned it himself. Then there is only one left. I put my hand on Leonhardt’s shoulder. He is much taller than me, so it is actually more like reaching out.

“…Oppa, I guess you really are bored enough.”

I told Leonhardt, who was staring at me, with a sullen expression.

How long has he had to do nothing for him to clean himself?

Come to think of it, he is a human who escaped to the tower to see me, but I think he’s been too indifferent. He’s been busy making excuses and getting out of here from time to time.

Of course there is a real reason, but I patted my second brother on the shoulder reflecting on the past.

“Let’s go out together next time, brother.”

I really couldn’t help it. There was a situation.

Leonhardt had a big smile after the words I had uttered.

“Yeah, that would be great.”

So cute. As expected, my second brother is definitely a puppy.

As expected, our Maltese shed tears of overflowing emotion as soon as the new bed arrived.

They all came into my room in the morning and wept loudly, and I thought one of them was dead.

“Oh, are you really an angel, my lady?”

“Anna, look at My Lady’s back. I’m sure she has a scar like surgical scars.”

“Did you mean wing removal surgery?”

“I will never be surprised if one day the lady flies in the sky with wings.”

Thank you for liking it, but it’s a little loud. I wanted to separate my cochlea for a second.

[t/n: cochlea is part of our ear just so you know]

The Maltese, who were crying and admiring the world around my bed, were scattered only after Monica went to my bedroom herself.

“My Lady! I’ll be right back!”

“Don’t forget us!”

“We love you!”

It was sadder than the soldiers who went out in tears.

I think it’s going to be crazy if I take a picture with them.

For example, sitcoms.

I felt sorry for this world without TV shows.

The Maltese are the most responsive, but the other annexes are no different.

For some reason, the wives who received handkerchiefs from me went to work 30 minutes faster, and Heinley, the butler who received gloves, smiled happier when he saw me. Especially the chef, he’s deeply moved.

Every meal has become so plentiful that it is more what he had received.

“…so that’s all we’re spending on that day?”

“Yes, my lady. You can organize it as it is.”

A few days later, I sat in the Oval Office and listened to Monica’s report.

Monica gave me a table of her spending on the main street that day. I thought I had spent a lot of money, but I was a little surprised that I had only spent half of the money I had taken.

We can take a little less next time.

I nodded inside and looked at the books and looked at Monica.

“Oh, by the way, what happened to the excavation of the Full Moon Stone at the Opera Guild?”
