She sobbed for a while.

But the 'lesson' she had just learned made her afraid to bargain, and she quickly let go of Lin Jiu'an's arm and disappeared from the dining table.

"All the dishes have been served. Is there anything else you need?"

Lin Jiu'an waved his hand, and the waitress obediently left.

The food on the train was delicious.

While it certainly can't compare to the food made by Sajo Aika, it's just as good as, or even better than, the food at Reiko-kan. Even the simple fried chicken cutlet and salad are incredibly delicious.

Obviously.

Trisha thought so too.

However, compared to Lin Jiu'an's unhurried and elegant eating.

Trisha, who was Olga Marie's governess and also in charge of Olga Marie's aristocratic etiquette, was quite negligent in her duties.

They wolfed it down.

The swallowing sounds were almost constant, showing no trace of a noble lady's demeanor.

"Mr. Lin?!"

suddenly.

Olga Marie's voice rang out in surprise.

Fear immediately flashed in Trisha's eyes. She lowered her head deeply, afraid that Olga Marie would see her, but her body was still trembling slightly.

This is different from when we're in the study.

Back then, at least there was someone to protect you, but now...

"Little Mary, aren't you asleep yet, it's so late?"

"I don't sleep well in a different place, so I came out for a walk."

Lin Jiu'an's seat faced the door of the carriage from which Olga Marie had arrived, so even though the restaurant's seating was relatively spacious, the seat wasn't very close to the table.

But Olga Marie didn't notice anything amiss.

"Has Mr. Lin seen Trisha?" Olga Marie asked immediately. "When I woke up, I found she wasn't in the room."

"She?"

Lin Jiu'an looked down and met the eyes of Trisha, whose beautiful eyes were full of pleading and pitifulness. He smiled wickedly.

"They're probably eating something right now, aren't they?"

"Eat something?"

Young Olga Marie blinked her beautiful eyes in confusion.

"Are there any other restaurants on this train besides this one?"

"There might also be a mobile restaurant."

"A mobile restaurant?"

Olga Marie looked curiously at the waitress behind the bar.

The waitress responded with an elegant and polite smile. As an old master who had lived for hundreds of years, she naturally understood what Lin Jiu'an meant.

"Yes, but the mobile restaurant is only open to women."

Chapter Fifteen: Aozaki Touko: Everything is Under Control!

"Open only to women?"

Olga Marie, who had never experienced the future of feminism, was even more confused upon hearing this, and couldn't understand why there would be a place on the train open only to people of one gender.

However, I was curious.

But Olga Marie's attention was clearly not on that at the moment, nor did she continue to pry; instead, she looked at Lin Jiu'an.

"Can I sit here?"

Trisha's eyes showed even more tension as she looked up at Lin Jiu'an pleadingly.

They worked even harder at the same time.

Hopefully, Lin Jiu'an will see how well-behaved and sensible she is and let their young mistress leave as soon as possible so that the young mistress won't find out about her.

However, Lin Jiu'an didn't even glance at her. Amidst her despairing gaze, he smiled and said, "Of course, I've ordered quite a lot of food. Eat whatever you like."

"Thank you."

Olga Marie politely took her seat and ultimately chose a vegetable salad.

However, the two did not talk much after sitting down.

Olga Marie sipped her salad slowly, glancing up at Lin Jiu'an who was enjoying his meal. Several times she opened her mouth slightly as if to say something, but ultimately she couldn't utter a word.

"Is there some strange noise?"

Olga Marie suddenly spoke up, looking somewhat confused.

She had been so focused on Lin Jiu'an that she hadn't noticed that she could hear the sounds of waves crashing in the open window, the sound of Lin Jiu'an chewing his food, and the soft, soothing background music playing in the carriage.

It seems to be...

Lin Jiu'an stopped eating, and the restaurant seemed to fall silent all at once, with only the soothing background music and the sound of waves outside the window remaining.

"what sound?"

After listening intently for a while without hearing anything, Lin Jiu'an asked curiously.

"No, no more."

Olga Marie shook her head hesitantly, somewhat embarrassed, and said, "Maybe I misheard?"

Did I hear that right?

"Yeah, it's like..."

Olga Marie thought for a moment, then explained, "It's like drinking a beverage through a straw, and also like savoring the aftertaste of food..."

Olga Marie couldn't think of the adjective 'smacking lips' in her vocabulary, so she could only use the words she could think of to describe it.

"Could it be the sound I just made?"

“No, no,” Olga Marie shook her head in denial. “I’m sorry to disturb your meal.”

"It doesn't matter."

Olga Marie frowned slightly as she watched Lin Jiu'an resume eating.

Auditory hallucinations?

Could it be because I haven't been sleeping well for the past few days?

Just then, Olga Marie paused, hearing that faint sound again, and was immediately filled with confusion.

Looking at Lin Jiu'an who was enjoying his food.

Olga Marie thought for a moment and decided not to disturb him as she had done before. After all, it would be very impolite for her to disturb Lin Jiu'an's meal again and again if she really was hallucinating.

Besides, with Lin Jiu'an around, what danger could there be?

"Um, Mr. Lin, what kind of woman do you like?" Olga Marie couldn't help but ask, her face turning red as soon as she finished speaking.

"Um..."

Lin Jiu'an glanced at Olga Marie, who was shy but still mustered the courage to look directly at him, and pondered for a moment.

Incorrect answer: Speak frankly.

Correct answer: I like women like you.

so...

Lin Jiu'an glanced at Trisha with slightly lowered eyes and said, "Someone like Trisha, I guess."

"Ugh?!"

Olga Marie opened her beautiful eyes wide.

She had fantasized that Lin Jiu'an would answer that it was her, but she knew that the probability was not high. However, she never thought that he would actually say it was Trisha.

For a moment, her cherry lips were slightly parted, and she didn't know what to say.

At that moment, she suddenly realized that the voice she had just heard, whether it was a hallucination or not, had suddenly become much louder.

"Mr. Lin, did you hear that...?"

“But I think Mary, if you grow up, you will become more womanly than Mary.”

Lin Jiu'an said with a smile.

"Oh, really?" Olga Marie's doubts vanished instantly, and her face, which had just turned from pale pink to fair due to disappointment, flushed bright red.

"Of course, it's true."

He really liked the way Trisha was being burned from the inside out.

As for the second sentence...

Although I don't have any particular feelings about Olga Marie now, the future Olga Marie can't compare to Minamoto no Yorimitsu and Artemis in terms of bust size.

But she is not without her merits.

For example, those long legs wrapped in orange ribbons, the white hair, the red eyes, and...

Of course, this personality trait is also quite endearing.

This little guy isn't some crazy, unrestrained 'free spirit' who gets excited indiscriminately. On the contrary, he's very smart and sensible, and when he's with me, he's as respectful and dependent as he is with Rafe in the original story.

When we grow up.

She's arrogant in front of others, but only acts coy around me. And then...

"Tsk, tsk, tsk."

The thought of Olga Marie blushing and begging him not to let others see filled Lin Jiu'an with anticipation.

“I look forward to seeing you grow up, Mary.”

But when faced with Lin Jiu'an's sincere eyes, Olga Marie, who had just taken the initiative to meet his gaze, panicked and dared not look into Lin Jiu'an's eyes.

She turned her head, somewhat flustered, smoothing the strands of hair at her temples, and asked anxiously and expectantly, "Then, when does Mr. Lin think I'll grow up?"

"Let's wait until we're adults."

"But at my age, I'm actually already capable of..."

"Mary!"

Lin Jiu'an immediately interrupted Olga Marie's remarks, which were leading to criminal behavior, and said sternly, "What kind of person do you take me for?!"

Even though I bullied your tutor in front of you, my 'fiancée,' I'm a good man!

"Oh, I'm sorry, I..."

Seeing Lin Jiu'an's voice suddenly turn stern, Olga Marie panicked.

"It's alright, I know what you're thinking, but it's still too early now. When you turn eighteen, I'll give you a present."

"Gift?"

Olga Marie's attention was immediately diverted, and she looked at Lin Jiu'an expectantly: "What gift?"

"Baby."

"Baby?"

Olga Marie blinked her beautiful eyes, momentarily bewildered, but quickly realized what was happening. She hurriedly raised her hand to cover her face, feeling an alarming burning sensation.

"I...I'm sorry, I suddenly remembered I have some things to do, I have to go now." Olga Marie hurriedly got up, bowed, and fled the carriage in a panic.

Lin Jiu'an calmly and elegantly used his knife to cut a piece of meat from the half-eaten steak, then put it into his mouth with his fork.

If it were when he had just transmigrated, he might have been captivated by Olga Marie's girlish demeanor, but now...

Ha, just a woman.
