I Don’t Want the Obsession of a Twisted Archduke

That was it.

I couldn’t say that I knew the snacks since I’ve had enough for a lifetime when I was young. Truthfully at the point, I couldn’t convince anyone with evasive answers.

However, the owner, who noticed that I was troubled, did not ask any more questions. Being a businessman.

‘They’ll compare this secret as a weapon, and they know it’s rude to force it out.’

Instead, he asked a different question this time.

“Then, do you know anything about the other snacks?”

Would it be too obvious if I previously explained all the snacks perfectly around this place and now, I didn’t know?

“Well, I know some of the Eastern snacks.”

The owner’s face was flushed with a positive answer.

“As expected! Then could you take a look at the snacks? I’m going to put it on the next open market, but I don’t have any information on them yet.”

“Hmm, information?”

When I returned the insinuating question, he looked dazed.

“Oh, of course, I’m not saying that to be polite, I would really like any information given. I’ll give you a good example.”

“Very well.”

“Oh! Really?”

“Sure. Just bring it over.”

I was not one to lie about anything like this anyway. When I readily allowed it, the owner’s face flushed in pure delight.

He called the clerk straight away. The quick clerks rushed to show up with some snacks, and my eyes opened to the maximum astonishment.

‘No, why are they coming out of here?’

The clerk brought some traditional desserts such as Korean traditional sweets, yugwa, and gangjeong, but for some reason, some junk food was also mixed.

For example, marukawa, that would change the color of your tongue when you chew on it.

‘It’s a cluttered world view.’

After giving up on thinking about how I viewed the world, I started to teach them the knowledge I possessed.

“But your tongue won’t always be blue or red. It will go back to normal, so you don’t have to worry about that.”

The owner, who was very surprised to hear that the color of his tongue was changing, was relieved to hear my next words. If his tongue had been blue or red for life, it would have had to be classified as dangerous food.

‘Then maybe I should have sold it for a curse.’

It would have been easy to pass it as a curse where no real harm was done for the person who was eating the candy.

Rather, prices could have increased, or scarcity could have arisen, but there was also a shelf life in food, and he liked to sell it to more people.

He seemed very happy that the candy he wanted to sell was indeed not a cursed candy.

After talking about candy, my story finally ended, and the surroundings were static.

“Oh, my.”

“You’re amazing, lady.”

“Thanks to you, this candy is going to be a hot topic.”

“Okay, let’s take all the Eastern snacks!”

Soon after, the clerks, who gathered before they knew it, poured out their admiration. They looked at me as if I were the god of snacks, and some even planned to buy it while I was there.

“Wow, Riddel, you’re amazing!”

“You know what? It’s amazing.”

“…”

Geppel’s compliments, Sejan’s exclamation, and Kyle’s gaze. A new burden on me. The attention I received from at least ten people, including the clerks, was on the rise.

Most of all, it was the owner’s expression directed at me. His eyes were twinkling full of admiration.

“You must be the god of Eastern cookies!”

“How could you say everything that is in your mind?’

“I’m so, so thrilled! “

While I thought about it. Pandora’s owner, who was talking, grabbed my hand in enthusiasm.

Strike. Whisper.

Exactly two threats came upon the owner at the same time.

Kyle’s magic.

Sejan’s daggers.

Then, as if they had rehearsed before, threatened the owner at the same time. “Take your hand off.”

“You should take your hands off, right?”

“Oh! I’m sorry. I made a big mistake.”

The owner, who managed to avoid both attacks, belatedly apologized.

He looked very sorry. But Kyle’s and Sejan’s facial expressions were still in a ferocious state.

‘Kyle’s always like that, but Sejan is my escort, naturally it’s his job…’

But when did you start working so hard?

It was true that the owner’s action were discourteous, but I was holding no anger towards the him as I felt the whole story setup was made by me.

The owner of Pandora’s shop was set to be “geeky handsome” where, when excited, grabbed the person’s hand.

I couldn’t do anything then going straight to arbitration.

“Don’t be so angry. It’s a mistake. I understand.”

While I was talking, the owner of the shop hardened like a stone statue.

That would be the case of anyone seeing Kyle’s hand with a big black hole-shaped magic sphere.

Wait. What? Magic sphere?

‘I have to stop this!’

I looked at Sejan in a hurry to order him to stop Kyle…

Unbelievable.

Sejan was emitting a giant swirling aura around his sword.

Geppel shook his head as if he had expected the whole situation.

“Come on, maybe I could stop one person, but I can’t stop those two at the same time.”

The owner was embarrassed, too, so he waved his hand.

“Wait, wait a minute. If you release it , this store will disappear. Your wife will get hurt, too.

“It doesn’t matter at all. I just need to hit the barrier while attacking, right? Archduke?”

“Yes, you’re right. Sejan.”

Kyle responded loudly to Sejan’s absurd remarks.

Seeing them say their real names and titles, they seemed to have no intention of hiding their identity.

‘No, you guys are no good. Why do you unite only in this situation?’

“Wait a minute, both of you, stop! The owner apologized. Geppel, don’t stand there and stop him!”

In the end, the situation could only be calmed down after I stepped up, took it out by myself; using everything that I had.

I was literally exhausted.

A short while after the almost catastrophe, the owner who was relieved said with tears in his eyes. “A, thank you. Madam. Please let me reward you.”

There was only one thing that came to my mind. I sincerely hoped.

‘Hurry up and do it.’

I wanted to go back to the temple.

***

Returning to the temple after Pandora’s store visit was over, I headed to Geppel’s office with the help of Lantes.

‘Even though I’m weak, I have to do what I have to do.’

Since Pandora’s store owner served me a meal, I was able to recover some of my physical strength. Anyway, the timing was right.

It was because Kyle went to the prayer room. Though, he didn’t go voluntarily.

“ – Kyle, take a look around the prayer room for a perfect wedding location.”

I coaxed him onto the wedding subject.

‘At this point, I think I should change my position to Kyle’s trainer.’

I arrived at the office, useless thoughts twirling in my mind and heard the ranting from Lantes, who said, “You’re finally working!”

“Then, Your Grace. Feel free to call me if you need anything.”

Lantes bowed and quickly moved away.

‘He’s a quick-witted person.’

I glanced back.

It was to signal to Sejan, who was following with his usual smile, that I would go inside.

Next, he knocked on the door of the office.

“Come on in.”

Geppel replied half-heartedly without checking who the visitor was.

‘You’re such a cheeky little boy.’

I just opened the door and went in; however, I froze in the moment.

‘…Who?’

Honestly, I knew who it was in my head.

Geppel, who was studying the document, gave me a quick look.

“What? You’ve never seen anyone work before? Or are you surprised that I’m so handsome?”

‘What do you mean handsome?’

What surprised me was that Geppel was suddenly an adult. Well, in adult form. I was surprised that he was more handsome than I wanted to be honest about it.

‘If you say anything, Geppel’s nose will rise in the air.’

I didn’t like that.

Instead of answering, I smiled and sat down on the guest sofa. Geppel also put down the document he was holding.

“No fun. What about tea? Do you want some?”

“No, it’s okay. I’m not here for tea.”

“… You’re a very peculiar person anyway.”

In my intention to get to the point, Geppel murmured something that I wasn’t sure whether it was a compliment or a curse.

Oddly, he still looked strangely happy.

‘The temple is in a state of turmoil.’

Well, I knew why.

It was because of all the dessert I received as a gift from the shop owner. It was the price from the information I gave him.

“No matter how rich the owner is, and money is overflowing, I received a lot of snacks.’

No, maybe it was because I stopped them from going wild and destroy his place.

Of course, this didn’t make Geppel feel better.

From all the dessert I received as a gift, I asked that half was sent to the Great Duchy, and the other half to be sent to the temple.

Following the temple rules, there was a decree that donated food could be eaten.

‘A rule made by Geppel in the face of opposition from other priests.’

In conclusion, Geppel was able to eat snacks legally until he ran out of donated snacks.

‘So of course, I’m in a good mood.’
