The unknown man who saved her from a mocking carriage driver and the woman who lost her wallet and wandered aimlessly for the first time in her travels.

‘It’s really okay. You seem to be on a journey. If it’s not too much trouble, may I guide you? You might not be able to tour properly after being bothered like that.’

The unfamiliar man made a strange proposal to entertain Cloe throughout the day, despite lacking in some aspects of kindness.

Normally, Cloe would be on guard, but for some reason, she accepted the offer readily. Perhaps it was because Kuhn presented a well-groomed, innocent face that day.

Standing dumbfounded, Cloe’s hand reached out towards him. The neatly black gloves, without a single wrinkle, were remarkably noticeable.

“A gift for the tired lover.”
Next, a man’s polite tone stood out. Seeing someone being reminded of, Cloe burst into laughter.

“Well then, I’ll leave it to you, Kuhn.”

It was an especially enjoyable time, perhaps because it was time spent with Kuhn, unlike any other.

Thanks to the person who carefully selected things Cloe liked, there was no time to relax. From the past until now, there was a peculiar skill of understanding her preferences well.

The two enjoyed a leisurely tea time against the backdrop of a flower-filled garden. They even visited a pottery workshop and made cute teacups for each other.

Although their skills had improved significantly since the first attempt, it was still far from matching those of a skilled artisan. Nevertheless, the teacups, crooked and quirky, were filled with each other’s sincerity, making them meaningful.

Later, in front of the fountain, a small band was playing music for a mini-event. Cloe and Kuhn sat on a bench in front of the fountain and quietly enjoyed the music.

After a while, the children gathered in front of the two, clamoring for them to play.

Cute children with hands like ferns extended towards them, and the two were easily caught.

First, they went to the clown with the crowd to get balloons. Some children, after receiving balloon swords, sparred with Kuhn. Even though he would feel a little regretful for losing in front of children, he took a step back and admitted defeat.

Then, they alternated between playing hide-and-seek and treasure hunt.

Playing like that, time quickly passed, and the sunset was approaching.

As the evening approached, parents came to pick up their children one by one. Only when all the children had left for their respective homes did the two finally become free.

Cloe, standing up from the bench, straightened her waist. Her waist, strained from playing with the children, was soothed by stretching, and her crumpled dress was fixed with her hands.

In doing so, her gaze naturally fixed on her slightly sunken stomach. The hunger that had not been felt until now suddenly surged.

Like the children, the two also had time to eat dinner.

Cloe, turning to Kuhn, finally spoke.

“The last supper…”

The restaurant that had become popular for its rumored sandwiches was responsible for dinner tonight.

It was a place that had many people even when they first came, and soon, the popularity had increased to the point where there was now a waiting time. Cloe and Kuhn were fortunate to secure the last table, eliminating the need for a separate wait.

The two of them effortlessly ordered the famous tuna sandwich and bacon sandwich from this place.

Upon each plate lay two sandwiches, and the two naturally divided them in half.

Filling their stomachs with delicious food made them feel cleaner and happier.

By the time the two exchanged glances and prepared to leave, a strangely familiar face approached them, holding two plates.
Stumbling forward, the person who had been standing in front of them handed over dessert plates.

They probably haven’t ordered dessert when ordering food. Then, the gazes of the two met.

“A small gift for both of you. I hope you enjoy it.”

For a moment, the man’s nameplate entered Cloe’s eyes. The shining name on his chest was familiar.

And on each of their plates, freshly baked waffles and strawberry ice cream were shining.

“Thank you, we’ll enjoy it.”

Cloe, who smiled brightly, soon picked up a small dessert fork placed next to her.

Then, she subtly nodded towards the person sitting across from her. It was a sign for him to join in her actions.

“Thank you.”

In the end, Kuhn also responded with a kind smile.

The attentive waiter who observed the man’s reaction flinched. Acting as if he had seen something he shouldn’t, the waiter, who had been behaving nervously, left with a farewell to enjoy the meal.

“Adam, what are you so absent-minded for?”

The restaurant was busy, and the frustrated manager scolded Adam, who was standing blankly in front of a table. He wasn’t a novice, and in the midst of a busy time, he wondered what he was doing with his mind wandering.

“Oh, sorry. I was just reminded of the past.”

“The past?”

“When I was first employed here. It’s been well over a year now. It’ll soon be more than a year, right? So much has changed.”

Adam recalled the two people sitting at this table. Both of them had striking appearances, so even though he had seen them only once, he remembered them vividly.

The relationship between the two people then and now had clearly changed. Perhaps because of that influence, their personalities seemed to have changed as well.

At least, the fact that the waffle Adam served was cleanly emptied was evidence of that.

“In my eyes, whether then or now, you still seem clumsy.”

“Manager too!”

“It’s noisy. Hurry up and clear the table. Don’t you see the customers waiting behind there?”

Prompted by the manager, Adam finally began to do the assigned tasks. Wiping the table with a dry cloth, he gathered the leftover food in the middle and stacked the plates layer by layer.

At that moment, something glittered on the table. It was discovered on the seat where the man had been sitting—a pair of coins.

Two fairy coins.

It was the value of the two cakes that Adam had presented as a service.

‘…Maybe it’s not that they changed, but they pretended to change.’

Looking at the coins, Adam couldn’t help but smirk, not even realizing it himself.
