"What? You want to do this?! Are you out of your mind?!" The apothecary shop owner, sitting in a big chair, chicken leg dripping with grease in his hand, stared at his old friend in shock.
But looking at the serious expression on the other's face, there was no doubt this was real; the other person indeed wanted to do this.
Pondering, he shook his leg unconsciously, feeling an unexplainable restlessness.
He wasn't good at hiding how he felt. His face bluntly conveyed the anxiety and trouble brewing in his mind.
Such display stirred the innkeeper's worry. Emotions could indeed be contagious.
When the drugstore owner appeared uneasy, the innkeeper began to question if he himself had done anything wrong.
At this moment, however, anxiety rendered calm thinking impossible.
The harder he tried to contemplate, the more blank his mind became until finally, he just widely opened his eyes, wrinkled his brows, and opened his mouth foolishly like a clown.
