“Anyway, seeing you here makes me feel kind of reassured.”said you.
” I feel so honored to make Miss Jessica feel reassured. How is Mr. Joseph Edward lately?”said Derek.
“I’ve broken up with Joseph Edward, so I have no idea how he is.”said you.
“I knew that you’d broken up but didn’t expect that you’d stopped talking. What happened between you?”said Derek.
You tell Derek everything about the conflicts you had with Joseph Edward and also your broken relationship.
“I see. As you are not made for each other, it was best for both of you to end the relationship.”said Derek.
“Exactly, so there’s no need for me to stay in touch with him.”said you.
“Miss Jessica, don’t be sad. You can have fun here however you please. This is your home!”said Derek.
“But how did you come here? I remember that you saved the old king and he was supposed to reward you.”said you.
Derek becomes downhearted.
“Argh, in fact, ever since you left, it’s been an unhappy time.”said Derek.
“After we left, what on earth happened in country M?”said you.
“At that time, the old king took back his throne and rewarded me a great deal. I truly could have anything I asked for in country M.”said Derek.
“Isn’t it great?”said you.
“It was just like that at the beginning but then things changed. The old king started finding me annoying and regarded me as a parasite.”said Derek.
“Were you too greedy?”said you.
“No, I knew that I would’ve annoyed him if I was too greedy, so I kept it low-key the whole time.”said Derek.
“So why did it happen?”said you.
“Precisely because I was too low-key. My modesty made the king feel like he didn’t have control over me in that way, so he wanted to chase me away. The rest was all excuses.”said Derek.
“So that’s it…”said you.
“But later on I stopped taking it too hard. I don’t blame him as he’s the king after all. Any person would be scrupulous in that position. Therefore I left country M after asking for a sum of money.”said Derek.
“You’re really amazing. When you left country M, you became a king yourself.”said you.
“Haha, what kind of a king am I. I’m just a man who leads others to seek happiness while making some money for myself. That’s all.”said Derek.
“Don’t be so modest. You’re already very amazing to make things turn out like this here.”said you.
“In fact, when I had just left country M, I thought of doing something else, but I couldn’t do anything else or even love doing it. At last, I’m still doing what I’m good at.”said Derek.
“I really admire you. If only I could have half of your ability!”said you.
“By the way, I’m also meeting you today for another reason.”said Derek.
“What’s that?”said you.
At this moment, Felton and Chloe walk in.
“Just in time. As you’re all here, I’ll tell all of you.”said Derek.
Felton sees you here and feels a bit surprised.
“You’re here also.” said Felton.
“Mr. Derek and I are chatting and catching up. We’ve been reminiscing about some old stories.”said you.
“Not just chatting. Today I’m gathering you here for another reason.”said Derek.
“We’ll be glad to hear it. We’ll do our best to do whatever you wish from us.” said Felton.
“I’m going to make Miss Jessica a manager of the town together with you.”said Derek.
“What?!” said Chloe.
Although everyone is surprised hearing Derek’s decision, Chloe responds rather intensely. She seems to be really against this.
“I’ve never done such a thing before.”said you.
“It’s alright. There’s got to be a first time for everything.”said Derek.
“But why do you need me to be involved in this?”said you.
“Because you’re my old friend. I trust you and also believe in your ability. I think you can bring some new life into this place.”said Derek.
“Your Majesty, I hope you can think it over. We’ve just become stable here. It’s not appropriate to make a change.” said Chloe.
“This is your flaw, Chloe. You always want stability while everyone else here wants to seek happiness and excitement. “said Derek.
“But…” said Chloe.
“Believe me! No one knows better than I do about what my people need!”said Derek.
Chloe looks at you furiously but cannot turn the tide.
“Do your best to bring if off, Miss Jessica.”said Derek.
“Chloe, do you think I should do it?”said you.
“As His Majesty is allowing you, I won’t stop you anymore, but I advise you not to cause us any trouble!” said Chloe.
“There’s another thing I need to check with Mr. Derek.”said you.
Derek：What is it? Feel free to say!”said Derek.
“If I do something which I feel is beneficial while Chloe doesn’t, who should we listen to?”said you.
“We listen to the people here. As long as the dwellers like the idea then it will be a good thing!”said Derek.
“Right! Then I’m relieved!”said you.
“Are you going to do anything?” said Chloe.
“That’s right. There’s indeed something I want to do!”said you.
“Good, Miss Jessica, please fill this town with passion!”said Derek.
When you leave the hall, Chloe keeps following you. She goes wherever you go.
“Why do you keep following me? Do I owe you any money?”said you.
“This is in the street and your home. Are you the only one allowed to walk here?” said Chloe.
“Humph, I know. You just don’t trust me!”said you.
“I obey His Majesty’s orders but I also protect this town from any damage.” said Chloe.
“Don’t worry. I won’t damage this town.”said you.
Chloe：I didn’t say you would! It’s just that if someone is stupid and foolish, then they tend to do stupid and foolish things.” said Chloe.
“Mr. Derek has said that only the people here can judge what is good or bad! You’re too pompous!”said you.
“You can say whatever you want and I can go wherever I want.” said Chloe.
“Right! As you are so willing to tag along, feel free!”said you.
You then walk ahead by yourself while Chloe is following close behind.
Chloe follows you to the launderette. When you walk in you find Lily and Mitchell lying in their own chairs sleeping. They look rather relaxed.
“Lily!” said Chloe.
Chloe shouts at Lily to wake her up.
“Mitchell is permitted to sleep here, but I seem to remember that you should be working in the restaurant right now!” said Chloe.
“I asked to take a break!”said Lily.
“To sleep during your break?” said Chloe.
“It’s my own break, so of course I can do whatever I want!”said Lily.
Chloe is lost for words at the moment.
“Someone always wants to order others around but has no idea how annoying she is!”said you.
“Are you referring to me?” said Chloe.
“I don’t dare provoke you. I’m worried you’ll even follow me to the toilet!”said you.
Mitchell is woken up by your talking and looks at you impatiently.
“What are you doing! Can’t you leave me alone, so I can sleep well!”said Mitchell.
Chloe looks at Mitchell and becomes hot-tempered.
“Humph! All you know is sleeping! Now you’ve got a slave and you still sleep all day!” said Chloe.
Chloe then walks out sulkily while Mitchell looks at you in a daze.
“Jessica, what on earth happened?”said Mitchell.
