Garudeina - Ch 64 - Jill’s visit
George, who came back from his holidays yesterday, was spending his second day alone.
He wanted to stay far away from Ferris and sort out his emotions, and what’s better for that than to stay alone.
Digging up his memory, he can’t remember when was the last time he was alone.
“Oh! It feels like a rest time for both mind and body?”
While thinking about that, he looks over the city from the terrace on the third floor of the Capitol.
In the city, because of the recent improvement in dyeing technology, the vibrant crowds are busier than before, and the smithy screams and shouts of metal sounded among them. The number of livestock areas has been increasing steadily recently too. You can hear the sounds of various animals, and from the vacant lands, the sound of the wood workers building new houses.
Looking at what should be called the breath of a growing city, and listening its sounds, George sighed deeply.
"It"s good ..."
It was then, that he felt a little sleepy with the sunshine leaking from the clear sky.
"Is your Excellency here?"
Someone has announced the end of George"s precious rest time.
"Jill ... what"s wrong?"
The deputy chief of the guard, looked into the terrace. But soon, George called out.
There is no particular mood. This is also part of everyday life.
“Oh ... If you’re off duty today, I can come back later…”
"I don"t mind. I"ve just had time to spare."
"... is that so ..."
Jill, who received George"s words, approached George who was sitting on the railing of the terrace.
"Emm ... from where do I start ......"
"First see here."
"Ahh ... the city!"
George grinned unintentionally at Jill, whose tail went straight up to the heavens, her ears fluttered, and her eyes shined like a child.
Expressing their emotions using the whole body was only possible for these cute creatures.
"Thank you!"
"Yeah, leave it to me"
Thus, the time to talk with Jill began.
Has it been over 40 minutes? George wonders, but he never gave attention to measure the time when visited by someone. As long as he knows how to spend his spare time everything is okay.
“This... someone is planning something ...”
It"s not only George who thinks this isn’t a coincidence. However, he couldn"t move because Jill was having a good sleep on his knees.
“Oh ... no problem ...”
George"s expression, which moves Jill"s head slowly to not wake her, is a smiling face filled with happiness. But what more could be expected from this moment when he sees Jill"s cat ears moving and the supple tail entangled on his arms at the rhythm of the town’s sounds, is it not happiness?
Until she wakes up, George continued to stroke Jill"s head.
By the way, the reason why n.o.body comes now is because the female guards are helping to guard the surrounding area. Instead of military uniforms, they walk around in plain clothes and casual dresses.
Most of the time, there is no urgency, and if it is an urgent matter, Nina, Kale, Johan, etc. will always take care of the issue, so there is no mistake, this is a sabotage.
It is well known in the guard that Jill holds feelings for George, and it is well known that George is on vacation now. And every time he goes on vacation, she visits.
Such a gossip has run amok in the guard, and some female guards bear the idea of helping Jill, thus covering for both Jill and George.
What"s worse is that Nina and Cale who listened to this story are a little more comfortable.
George is currently busy with work for outsiders. Now that the city has started to solidify its roots and many organizations have come to run their business smoothly, Nina and Kale wanted to have a new family member and so they ask George to get a wife. They seemed to want a successor. Ferris has always been taken care of by them, but now she is busy with only George and they feel empty.
Well, from the speculations, Jill is the closest female to be his wife among the residents.
These actions will cause a little turmoil later, but that"s another story.
The man named George is not particularly sensitive to others intentions, and even less to women feelings.
But is not so stupid as to not see Jill"s straight-up favor. However, as a person responsible for millions, he must take care with his actions. And now there is also Ferris.
“Although there is no blood connection, we spent time as brother and sister for several years ...”
If I didn"t take her as my sister when we met for the first time, maybe it would be possible, but it’s useless to think about it now because I can"t do anything.
“………There’s nothing more annoying than love feelings…“
The development of various incidents from love relations is something I have heard a lot in modern times. I didn"t want to be of those.
George doesn"t hate Jill. He somewhat likes her. But there’s the case with Ferris and he has a close friendship with Jill, so it’s impossible.
“Is it rude to say that the timing is bad ...?”
George knows very well that he doesn"t have the freedom to do as he wants. There is no way you can love multiple women at the same time.
“... I"m just getting tired ...”
George, who sighed alone, was still stroking Jill"s head.
