บท 40: Ch 40 : Makino (2)
I am a Rich Second Generation in One Piece Ch 40
"This necklace is for you." Seth handed over a sapphire necklace to Makino.
At first, Makino wanted to reject it, saying that the necklace was way too expensive for her. However, she eventually succumbed and received the necklace under Seth's insistence.
But here, she, out of nowhere, had a bad feeling.
" Seth.."
She looked at Seth, and her black eyes felt like they could see the truth behind Seth's pupils.
Looking at this, Seth knew he couldn't hide it anymore.
Really.. woman's instinct in things like this really couldn't be underestimated.
" Makino, I have something to say to you. After this, I would go and leave Foosha village."
"....."
Makino turned silent. From the start, she knew that Seth didn't belong in this place, and this time would soon come. However, she never expected that it would be this fast.
It felt like after Cinderella met her prince, her prince suddenly ran away and left her.
This feeling of emptiness struck Makino. If you want to leave this fast, then why bother to be close to her?
Unknown to her, the uncertainty that she felt toward Seth now had slowly evolved. She wanted to stay by his side, and it made her feel hurt even more when she knew that Seth was leaving.
Seth did not expect that before he would even finish his words, Makino would run away. She ran away very quickly and suddenly, making Seth caught off guard.
However, Makino, a weak village girl, couldn't compare to Seth in physical fitness. Not going to waste any more time, Seth used Soru to catch up to Makino and held her hand.
"Why are you running away?" Seth asked. A frown seemed to appear on his face.
At this time, Makino's tear-stained face made people feel a sense of pity. Still, no one came and intruded as they thought it was just an everyday couple quarrel.
Being held by Seth, Makino lowered her head and explained meekly, "I'm sorry.. I.. I just..."
" *Sigh* That's why you need to listen to me first, Makino."
Seth sighed. He held Makino's chin with his hand as his eyes stared straight into Makino's.
Here, Makino felt like she was in a dream. Time felt very slow as she gazed upon Seth's handsome face.
Seth also had the same expression as she stared at Makino. But then the system came interrupted them.
[ DING!!! Makino is currently having a conflicted idea about you. Please Make a Choice.]
[ Choice 1: Tell her to wait for you in Foosha village. Reward: Glutten-Free Pancake.]
[ Choice 2: Ask her to come with you. Reward: Special-tailored Nigh dress.]
To be honest, none of the choices this time were useful to Seth. Still, this has confirmed one of his conjectures.
His trip to this Foosha village could be said to be rewarded. First, he was able to confirm that only women could generate Counterattack points, and next is the fact that the choices reward would be based on the importance of the situation to the main plot.
About Makino, there's almost no relevance to the plot even if she was to leave Foosha village, and that's why the reward was as small as some Special-Tailored Nightdress.
Nonetheless, Seth was not the type that would leave a lonely woman alone.
"Well… After this, I would leave Foosha village, but before that, I want you, so come work for me." Seth suddenly said.
Hearing Seth's words, Makino froze for a moment and subconsciously asked, "Work? What kind of work do I do for you?"
Seth smiled as he placed his hand on Makino's head.
"I was thinking about entering the tavern industry recently. I feel that you have potential, so I want you to be the store manager and give it a try."
"Huh?!" Makino was stupefied hearing Seth's words as any ordinary woman would.
She thought that Seth was joking. But here, she forgot one thing.
Seth was the son of a super-rich merchant, and setting up one or two private taverns for him would not bother his finances at all.
Furthermore, Seth even though he was like this, was pretty selfish.
He felt it was a bit of pity that Makino in the original series would only be holed in Foosha village and have children with an unknown person here.
"How can this be…" Makino still couldn't believe what she had just heard. She believed when Seth said he would be making a tavern business but appointing her as the manager, wouldn't this be like a dream come true?
Nonetheless to say, every woman dreams of a fairytale, and to the current Makino, Seth was like the prince in the fairytale.
He came to Foosha village all of a sudden and saved her. And now, he offered to take her to a whole new world.
Wait.. a whole new world…
Here Makino seemed to realize something. Her eyes turned at Seth, full of shock, which Seth only responded with a wink and putting his finger on his lip as if confirming her guess and asking her to stay silent.
