“This season is not at all suitable for opening a store.”
Seeing the world scene covered in white made Arthur mutter with an expression filled with regret. Though he was so enthusiastic to open a new store with his two colleagues to bother doing renovations in the winter.
Perhaps, more precisely forcing his two colleagues to help him do the renovation when it was still winter.
The two obviously felt somewhat reluctant, but they ended up grinding their teeth at the sight of the expectant expression on Arthur's face. Especially Joe, because it is different from his two colleagues who are at the level of gold ...
Silver levels still seemed to have a bit of difficulty surviving in such extreme weather.
“That's why I said we don't need to rush, Boss.”
Joe appears from behind Arthur while wearing a thick blanket that wraps around almost his entire body.
“Are you not excited either? Even work so hard and rush when the blizzard?”
Hearing that question, the memory of how the three of them fixed the outer wall while there was a blizzard appeared. Right then, the corner of Joe's lips twitched.
‘Isn't that happening because we want to finish it and then go inside to warm the dirr? Who can stand to be in such weather without feeling depressed and looking for warmth?’
Looking towards Arthur who was wearing an innocent and innocent expression, Joe cursed straight at the heart.
‘SO YOU ARE THE ONE!’
At that very instant, Joe felt it was fitting that such a scene could happen. Repairing buildings in winter when the building still looks good is only done by unique-minded people. Yes ... like the division chairman who makes him always feel tired.
“Arthur, Arthur ..”
Hearing Lily's call, Arthur turned his head.
“What's up?”
The young man tilted his head. When she saw Lily carrying a sitting pillow, she immediately understood what the girl meant.
“But I want to go fishing,” muttered Arthur.
Joe couldn't help but be dumbfounded. Looking at the world shrouded in white and feeling a bone-biting gust of cold wind, he had no idea how Arthur could still think of fishing at such a time.
Lily said nothing. He just stared at Arthur with a pair of eyes filled with sparkles, like stars that made Arthur's eyes glare and could not bear.
“Good, good. Give it to me.”
Arthur took a deep breath before returning to the house. Arriving at the lounge, the young man sat on a sitting pillow then glanced towards Lily.
The little girl walked quickly towards him then skillfully struck his thigh several times before being made into a lap pillow.
Looking at Lily who was lying on her lap with a satisfied expression, Arthur let out a long sigh. He felt unable to treat the little girl harshly. So he can only take care of her as best as he can.
Speaking of little girls. Actually, Lily's own age is ‘tua’ and does not match her appearance. The little girl could have been called an aunt or maybe a grandmother. Only, his appearance and way of thinking were too incompatible with his age.
So Arthur and Joe treated her as a little girl.
“By the way, it seems your level has risen in recent months, Joe. Very good work.”
Yep. In the few months that they have been casually on, Joe's level has gone up. However, the man did not seem to be happy to hear the praise from Arthur's mouth.
“Do you mock me, Boss?”
“No. I'm just-“
“No need to talk about that! I'm leaving now!”
“...”
Looking at Joe who left angrily, Arthur was stunned. He did not expect that ordinary questions could offend the man at all.
But Joe is not entirely wrong. If the question had been spoken by someone else, the effect would have been normal. It's just that, if spoken by Arthur, it's a bit outrageous and seems mocking because ...
The young man had actually climbed two levels just by eating and sleeping for these few months!
