"Word! Word! Word!"
Nok pressed his left hand firmly on the table, stepped on the stool with his right leg, pulled his neck and shouted loudly to the young lady opposite.
"Flower! Flower! Flower!"
Not to be outdone, the young lady opposite slapped her hands on the table and shouted to Nok.
"You can't cheat this time. Life or death depends on this game. You can't go back on your word!"
"Come here! The one who regrets it is Walkermon!"
"I'm going to be so cruel?"
"necessary!"
"Okay! Ms. Jasmine, I will kill you! Fire!"
Nok moved his left hand away, revealing a silver coin.
"No! Why is it a flower! How could it be a flower! My dear Goddess of Destiny, you can't be so partial! This is the fourth flower!"
Looking at the side of the coin that showed flowers, Nok collapsed and sat on his chair, looking like he was crying.
"Cluck, haha, Father Ryan, you lost again!"
"Okay, okay, I admit defeat. I will take you to play as much as you want today. But as we agreed, it will only be four times. After four times, you are not allowed to play anymore."
"good!"
"High five."
"Snapped!"
The big palms and the small palms are close together.
Then they held it together.
Holding Little Jasmine's hand, Nok walked towards the door and shouted to the kitchen: "Makina, we're going to ride horses!"
"Got it! Go!"
Makina, who was sorting tools with Leo, responded with a smile.
"Unexpectedly, after I claimed that Jasmine was frightened, I kept trying to find a way but couldn't get Jasmine to speak. Unexpectedly, Father Ryan did it. Not only did Jasmine speak, but she also became much more cheerful than before. "
"Haha, Father Ryan is very good at treating children. He has taken care of several orphans in the past."
"Oh? So how are those orphans doing now?"
Leo was stunned and regretted how he brought up this topic.
But fortunately, Nok was not present, so that was all.
"They were adopted. It was precisely because of this that Father Ryan decided to leave the previous place, just because he didn't want to get emotional. So don't mention this matter in front of him in the future. Do you understand?"
"All right."
Makina nodded obediently in agreement.
Well, after the tavern was built, Makina would wake up in Leo's bed every morning.
As a result, Nok, who originally lived on the second floor, moved directly to the third floor.
Then he drove Leo to live on the first floor.
This led to Makina also changing her room to the first floor.
Fortunately, the new tavern has made changes.
The enlarged tavern can accommodate fifty tables, but considering that it is difficult for the village to have so many customers, the space is separated and made into small booths.
There are ten tables in the lobby, spaced two meters apart to avoid sitting too close and causing drunkenness and causing trouble.
Then there are ten booths, with a table for ten in each booth.
There is enough space to ensure privacy and cater for gatherings of many people.
This is set up for adventurers to pass by in the future.
Separate ordinary people and adventurers to avoid conflicts between ordinary people and adventurers.
As for overnight stays, the tavern no longer provides uh services in this regard.
Because at Nok's suggestion, the village will build a hotel specifically to provide accommodation services, which will be run by women in the village.
The village pays wages, and the money earned by the hotel belongs to the village and is reserved for future public construction or activities in the village.
All in all, Makina's Tavern is divided into a front yard and a back yard. The front yard is a tavern that sells drinks and food, and the back yard is the accommodation area for Knock's four people.
Even after the church was built, Nok had no intention of living in the church.
Therefore, Knock proposed that the church be built near the cemetery.
When the time comes, it will be enough to have a prayer room, confessional room, reception room, and office.
As for the accommodation area and lounge, Knock will not allow them to be built.
In Nok's words, he might have to travel again one day, so why waste time on people and money and occupy the village's land.
Seeing Nok's firm attitude, Graeme did not dare to persuade him.
But privately, Graeme decided to make the prayer rooms in the church larger.
In the future, it will be able to accommodate nearby villagers for worship and mass.
Back to business.
Makina said with a bit of regret: "It's a pity that even if Jasmine becomes cheerful, she still refuses to accept you."
Leo said indifferently: "It's okay. I don't care. As long as I'm here, I will protect you mother and daughter."
There was another sentence that Leo didn't say. That is, before he leaves here.
It's not that Leo doesn't know Makina's plan, but Leo doesn't want to step into the grave of marriage again.
If he sleeps with the woman, then, while he is here, he will protect Makina and Jasmine and give Makina the sense of security she needs.
However, once Nok chooses to leave, Leo will follow Nok without hesitation.
He will no longer be obsessed with any woman, and he will be trapped in the mud.
Therefore, he didn't care at all whether Jasmine could accept him or not.
On the contrary, he was glad that Jasmine did not accept him.
Because he didn't want to hear anyone call him "Father" again.
However, Makina didn't know what Leo was thinking, but the recent happy life made her intoxicated.
However, Nok took Little Jasmine to an open space in the east.
Except for the village chief's house, everything here has been basically renovated.
One of the conditions for Nok's agreement to stay was to transform the living environment of Tarn Village.
Therefore, under Nok's suggestion, most of the villagers in Tarn Village were moved to the west end of the village and near the center of the village.
It just so happens that Makina's Tavern is the center of the village.
If the village chief hadn't said that he still had two sons wandering around, and he was afraid that his sons would not be able to find a place when they came back after the move, Nok would have moved the village chief's family to the west.
However, the village chief persuaded Nok to let his new house be located in the north of the village.
That's just north of the tavern.
The village after being relocated.
The east side was converted into a stable and drying area. The village's large livestock are all raised here.
Chickens and ducks are small poultry that can be raised in the yard.
In this way, the originally smelly village became much cleaner.
Even Graeme, the clerk, was impressed by the changes in the village.
How do they know that the geographical location of Tarn Village is destined to blow southwesterly winds in autumn and summer, and northwest winds in spring and winter.
In this environment, placing the livestock at the east end of the village will prevent the odor of animals from permeating the village.
When the wind blows, all the strange smells are blown out of the village.
Today, Nok and Jasmine’s purpose is to ride horses.
Anos gave Leo and Nok two horses as gifts.
Note that Leo is the protagonist and Nok is the one who makes up the numbers.
If it weren't for the fact that the owner Nok could only walk after giving Leo a mount, this unreasonable situation would put Leo in a difficult situation. Nok bet that Anos would never give him a horse.
In this regard, we can see how partial Anos is from the fact that Leo's mount is much better than Nok's mount.
Nok even suspected that the reason why Makina was anxious to leave the castle was probably because she was afraid that Anos would steal Leo from her.
Speaking of horse riding, there is actually a little story in it.
Because Makina and Leo hooked up after returning to the village, Jasmine woke up in the middle of the night and cried because she couldn't find her mother.
Because the tavern had not yet been built, the four of them borrowed money to live in an empty house left by the relocated villagers.
Probably because they were worried about being listened to by Nok, the two guys went out to play a war game at that time.
Nok, who was awakened by Jasmine's crying, could only get up from the bed to comfort Jasmine.
As a result, Jasmine stopped crying, but discovered Nok's secret.
Originally, Nock always wore a beard in front of others to disguise himself as more mature, and he looked twenty-four or five years old.
Nok took off his makeup before going to bed and forgot to wipe his beard after being awakened by Jasmine's cry. As a result, Jasmine saw his true appearance.
As a last resort, Nok could only try his best to make Jasmine happy.
Finally, he agreed to become Jasmine's best friend.
But at the same time, Jasmine wants to help Nokk keep the secret, even without telling Makina.
This made Jasmine happy, who had been ostracized by the children in the village.
As a result, when Leo and Makina woke up the next day, they found that Nok and Jasmine were playing together.
Originally, Makina was afraid that Jasmine would offend Nok, but after seeing Nok playing with Jasmine without caring at all, she let the two of them go.
The most important thing is that my daughter, who was originally more taciturn after being frightened, gradually became cheerful.
Makina didn't want to stop her daughter anymore.
Later, since Nok could not ride a horse, Leo took time to teach Nok.
At that time, Makina happened to be supervising the construction of the tavern, so she handed Jasmine over to two grown men.
Jasmine hated Leo who stole her mother, so Nok had no choice but to put Jasmine on the horse and learn to ride together.
Anyway, with Leo and Nok around, there was no need to worry about the horse getting frightened and going crazy.
If two silver-level experts can't handle a horse, then their lives will be in vain.
In this way, Jasmine, who had ridden a horse once, inexplicably fell in love with this feeling of being aloof.
This was a different experience from standing upstairs looking down at the people in the tavern, and Jasmine fell in love with this feeling.
After the result, every time Nok went to practice horse riding, Jasmine would cling to Nok.
Later, as Nock mastered the art of riding, his passion for horseback riding faded.
Since the tavern was built, Nock preferred to stay in the building in the backyard, playing with the books he bought from Seine City.
But Jasmine's love for horse riding has not diminished, and she asks Nok to take her riding every three days.
Even though Makina warned Jasmine again and again not to do this, Jasmine still didn't listen.
Makina could only plead with Nok not to take Jasmine to play such a dangerous game.
Fortunately, Nok saw the shadow of Lilian's childhood in Jasmine and liked the little girl.
Just get Jasmine the right to ride a horse once a week.
The number of laps to ride each time is determined by two people guessing coins.
Of course, Nook cheated every time he guessed the coin.
To coax the child, he wanted Jasmine to guess right just a few times.
He made this decision based on the time of day and weather.
Even Makina noticed something strange about Nok in the coin-guessing game. Only Jasmine always thought it was because she was lucky and could win Nok every time.
Like today, today is a cloudy day.
In addition, everyone in the village participated in the site selection of the church, so no one interfered with Nok and the two.
Nok decided to take Jasmine around the village a few times.
Nok knew that this little girl had been holding back her nerves these past few days.
While Nok was reading, the child stayed with Nok without making any noise, but Nok still noticed that she was so bored that she was counting on her fingers.
But even then, the child did not disturb Nok's reading and let Nok play with her.
So, what reason does Noke have for not pampering her secretly?
