MLCD Chapter 1.4

There was only one restaurant in the entire South Bunch where you could eat a meal for less than three ronas, which was called 《Golly》.《Golly》was the official name of the company that was written on the signboard, and in fact, what people usually called it was ‘crushed food reserves’.76447c9c44c010ea

《Golly》 was run by the Wale family, Mr. Wale was the president, Mrs. Wale was in charge of accounting, and the first son Wale and second son Wale were in charge of the kitchen. The Wale family was known as a family of wizards. There was a half-joking saying that they must have had a kitchen fairy somewhere in their ancestry and that they weren’t wizards.37e1c7101eb25e6b

“I heard they make amazing dishes as if they’re using magic.”30c41ff239dd410d

Shavonne looked excited when he thought he might be able to buy a delicious dish at a low price, like less than three ronas. The tastier it is, the more expensive it gets. There was the possibility of Lewellyn throwing a tantrum like ‘It’s awful… Should I even call this food…? I guess I have no choice but to treat you next time.’9457cdb41db82d7e

However, luck wasn’t on Shavonne’s side.94bec4459394fe29

“It’s really good. They’ve been in business for 12 years using expired ingredients, and so far there’s only one or two customers that got food poisoned. The rumor that the Wale family were wizards or had a kitchen fairy as an ancestor came from that.” Added the grocery store owner in Ira Street.d128b93b4daf7a55

Three days passed. Shavonne and Lewellyn encountered each other, as usual, because Lewellyn was peeling onions on the stairs of the apartment. Whenever he left the apartment, Shavonne had to see Lewellyn. He wanted to ignore him, but it wasn’t easy to turn a blind eye to Lewellyn, who said ′′Dzień dobry? (Hello)′′ and greeted him out loudly.5b29356b4fc99485

He once tried to look away, but he said “I said ‘Hello’… I think it’s because of the pronunciation that Mr. Shavonnen didn’t understand me.” As Lewellyn didn’t stop talking, Shavonne had to be stuck in the hallway of the apartment.1c5840e94bc26e30

So, it was normal for Shavonne to be locked up in the house except from 10 p.m. to 7 a.m. when Lewellyn wasn’t on the stairs of the apartment.3b83305c27eaf039

Shavonne didn’t want the onions in his food, so it was up to Lewellyn to say yes. The employee said, “I will charge the onion separately” and left. There was no time for Shavonne to protest.7faa81b88f9f6546

Even if he didn’t want to, Shavonne could hear the next table as well as the others near them. In just three minutes, he could tell whether the people of the next table had a guarantee or which political party they supported or not, so in just 30 minutes, he would be able to know where the people of the next table hid their emergency funds and what was the password for their safe.17425f16aa6c4c50

However, unfortunately or not, Shavonne and Lewellyn wouldn’t stay for 30 minutes at the restaurant 《Golly》 to begin with. Of course, he didn’t get to know where they hid their emergency funds and what was the password for their safe.aadc3f6e55168427

His mouth was dry. Shavonne glanced sideways at Lewellyn. Still, Lewellyn was just looking at the glass of water. The man called Alan was talking so loud that he couldn’t understand him, or was he pretending not to know anything even after hearing him?cce969ba84c8ec01

Shavonne felt like he was holding a time bomb that no one knew when it would explode. He couldn’t stay quiet any longer. Shavonne raised his hand and called the waiter. To his surprise, fortunately, the employee went to Shavonne immediately even with all the noisefc1f9620d424145e

The hardest person to treat is neither a bad nor a good person. He’s someone Shavonne didn’t understand. When they first met, when Lewellyn was sitting in the stairwell of the apartment peeling onions, Lewellyn was a nice person (although somewhat weird), but he turned bad after finding the body at Lewellyn’s house, and incomprehensible after experiencing the commotion at the restaurant “Golly”.790a1610a4e46ac7

Lewellyn didn’t show a single inch of what was happening through his mind. Shavonne couldn’t tell whether he was uncouth, polite, kind or rude, like Shavonne or not. He was suspicious of him because he couldn’t understand him. He was dangerous because Shavonne couldn’t tell whether he was an ally’s bomb or an enemy’s bomb, it was just a bomb. It was too difficult to get involved with him anymore.24b90608933eb4e9

『… (Strategy).. Admirable editor, we are living in the most dangerous era of chaos since the beginning of history. Have you ever met a sea storm while sailing? As if it were to be wrecked in the event of a sea storm, the ship fluctuates, the rain and wind that wet the anchor, and the sea water that blows over the deck hold the sailor’s breath. The fear and the pain, the darkness and the cold, the water and the wind, all felt like eternal hell. Time passes by. While the sun is high and cool, a swarm of seagulls across the sky cries loudly. Upon arriving home safely, the sailors sent kisses to the Big Dipper to look after them, and they were drinking, singing and dancing. Then, they got ready for a new voyage. The same goes for the chaos we live in. Chaos that feels like eternal hell passes like a storm. If it’s alcohol, singing and dancing and kissing left by sailors, what the chaotic human being will leave behind will be a record of hope for posterity. I would like to have the honor of writing the record of hope with your company… (Rest omitted)…』942b281521cc888c

Of course, it isn’t necessary to say that the interviewers who said so didn’t actually give him the job.
