EP.111 #Afterlife 2 – Portman’s little girl (2)
During this year’s harvest season, a small accident occurred in the Portman family.
This was the incident that made Darlene suffer from disappointment after seeing the wheat being cut down in a hurry.
“You said something unnecessary… .”
“… .”
The cause was Elric.
He compared wheat to family and taught that wheat should be cherished, and Darlene, who understood it literally, was hurt.
But Elric also had something to say.
In that situation, didn’t Tyria agree with what she said?
Just because the speaker was himself, he is receiving so much glare from those around him, and even though he cannot comfort him, he is sympathizing with him, so it is extremely unfair.
Well, no matter how much you complain, nothing will change.
Elric had to focus on clearing up the accident.
“… “I will take care of it.”
Elric cautiously entered Darlin’s room.
When I opened the door, the bed blanket was completely wrapped and rising.
It looked like a large, wriggling caterpillar.
Pakkom Darlin stuck his head out.
With puffy eyes and a sobbing expression, Darlene soon puts her head under the blanket! I put it in.
It was so cute and adorable, but I felt troubled.
Elric smiled awkwardly and sat down on the bed.
“Baby, aren’t you going to talk to daddy?”
“joy!”
Darlene rolled over and rolled over to the corner of the bed.
The caterpillar became a little more round.
Elric felt both an itchy feeling and embarrassment at the same time.
So what I chose was a bit of a forced method.
“Ugh!”
“profit!”
Darlene was lifted onto the bed.
Suddenly, I remembered when Darlene was a newborn.
This is exactly what Darlene was like when she was wrapped in swaddling clothes.
Has it grown like this before you know it?
Someone once said that children grow up quickly, and it became true once again.
“Baby, are you really not planning on talking to your father?”
Darlene flinched.
Then he finally raised his head, but he was so full of resentment and sadness that it was a pity to see him.
“Abba is sleeping… !”
“Oh my, you have become such a cruel person.”
Elric took Darlin out from under the blanket.
I picked him up and left the room.
We arrived at a restaurant.
The workers, who had finally seen Darlene’s face, expressed relief and concern at the same time.
It was like that.
“Hey, bake some bread and serve it to me. Jam and toast too. Darlene will eat it.”
That means prepare according to the child’s taste.
The workers barely noticed and brought out the dishes.
Elric said while patting Darlene on the back.
“Baby, were you very sad because you harvested the wheat?”
Darlene trembled and then nodded.
“It’s family… !”
I guess my anger hasn’t gone away yet, but I’m starting to cry again.
Elric chuckled.
“Yes, wheat is our family. A family that protects us.”
Elric’s fingertips brushed Darlin’s eyes.
Elric said while wiping away his tears.
“Do you know, there are many ways to protect your family? “Being by their side, sacrificing oneself, understanding the other person, etc.”
Darlene made a confused face as if she didn’t understand.
Elric added.
“The wheat field chose to sacrifice itself. “He knows that without him, Yeongji would starve to death.”
“Ugh… .”
“And the wheat fields are not dead.”
Flash! Darlene’s head lifted.
“yes… ?”
“The wheat will rise again in the spring. Do you know? What the child saw was the hair cut from the wheat field. “We eat the hairs of the wheat.”
Elric whispered to Darlene with a stern expression, as if he were telling the secrets of a vast world.
“Actually, wheat has its own body underground!”
“Huh… !”
Darlene covered her mouth with her hand and was shocked.

At the same time, what emerged was joy.
“Mi, Milbat won’t die… !”
“Yes, we just cut the wheat field. “To eat the hair in the wheat field.”
“So wheat is bald?”
“No, you won’t go bald because it will grow back. “A bald person cannot grow back.”
Only then did Darlene’s expression brighten.
Darlin laughed.
You may not even know how a child’s emotions can be so vibrant.
anyway,
“My lord, I have brought you bread.”
Just then, what I had prepared came out.
Warm soft bread, strawberry jam, and fries.
Elric cut bread and fries into sizes that Darlin could eat, spread some jam on them, and put them in Darlin’s mouth.
Darlene’s eyes widened.
Elric asked.
“Now, isn’t it delicious?”
“Ugh… !”
Darlene’s fist waved cutely.
“Don’t worry about the wheat fields. Next year, it will grow luxuriantly again, and the one that has already been cut down will become one with you like this.”
Knock Knock Elric tapped Darlin’s solar plexus.
Darlene said, gulping down her bite.
“one!”
On this day, Darlene learned something.
If you love, you become one.
You should eat what you love.
Depending on how you listen to it, it sounds quite strange.
It was about five years later that Darlene learned its true meaning.

Danal, leader of the Seolyeong Knights.
Finally, I promise to meet the woman beyond the letter.
“Captain! “Please get married!”
“Fighting!”
The knights cheer from behind.
Danal said, adjusting his stylish suit.
“OK! “Let’s go first and pave the way!”
joy! Danal’s face was glistening as she snorted.
Ah, life.
I’m finally visiting this guy named Jangga!
[I will go to Wibin. I’d like to see where you work.]
This is what the woman on the other side of the letter said.
Yes, I guess he couldn’t wait to see himself!
After all, I have free time during my days as an assassin, so why can’t I write a proper letter?
‘I can’t believe you can make people’s hearts flutter so much with just words. ‘You sinful man.’
Danal, completely self-absorbed, headed to the station.
The world looks beautiful today.
“Hey leader, where are you going dressed up like that?”
I also like the head butler who usually orders me to do chores.
“Oh my, leader. “Do you want to meet a girl?”
The head maid who slapped me on the back was also cute.
“Aiko, aren’t you our leader!”
The village people are also friendly.
Just the sound of birds chirping, the wind, and even the sound of ants crawling on the floor are lovely.
The station where Bobu arrived with confident steps.
The train that would take her was just pulling into the station.
Danal stood tall at the station and waited for the woman.
Just 10 minutes, managing my pounding heart and expression.
A beautiful future,
“hey?”
I became desperate.
Danal’s complexion turned pale.
“… “Mr. Igret?”
“Hey, was it really Danal?”
Red hair, freckles, but a light white dress that was different from usual.
Danal pushed away the disturbing imagination that came to mind for a moment.
The words come out stuttering.
“W-what are you doing here…” ?”
In response, Igret swept under her nose.
What came out of her arms was a letter.
A letter written by oneself.
“?”
“I heard that my letter friend was a knight, so I guessed it. Is Ricky that guy? Or that creepy squire? But when I think about cancer, you are the only one.”
‘Oh, no way.’
When his suspicions became confirmed, Danal’s world collapsed.
Igret poked Danal’s waist.
“Hey, where did you learn such sweet words? “You just got excited.”
Danal couldn’t understand Igret’s intentions.
So I just thought I was being tricked.
No, actually, Igret also started this as a joke.
A letter I sent out with the intention that anyone would catch it in order to somehow have an excuse to visit Wibin.
Isn’t that something that was harvested every day?
We exchanged letters with the intention of teasing him as much as he could.
However, in the meantime, I had different feelings about Danal’s letter.
In other words, it has brought about quite a lot of favor.
If you think about it, it was like that.
The time has come when I really have to think about marriage.
I didn’t deserve anyone as a partner, but I thought it would be better if I was a healthy bachelor who spoke nice words.
In fact, Danal didn’t look that bad.
“this this.”
Igret linked arms with Danal.
“Now that things are like this, I guess I have no choice but to get married?”
Danal shook his head like crazy.
But Igret haha! I just smile and ask back.
“Guy, you like it that much?”
It was like that.
Igret originally had a tendency to interpret people in a way that was good for her.
“Let’s go get permission first! “Is she okay?”
The beginning of an endless abyss.
It was definitely a moment that felt that way to Danal.
“Are you two married? Hmm, that’s surprising. But what… “Congratulations.”
It was even more so because Elric did not stop him.
Everything went smoothly.
Danal went west and arrived right in front of the Valentia family.
They got their marriage stamp there and got married as if they were being sold.
‘It’s clearly a husband hunt!’
I cried inside, but no one would listen.
I thought life would end like that… .
“Please take care of my daughter, please?”
It was only then that I felt something clear.
Danal realized that he was very lucky.
“If my daughter is bothering me, should I tell my mother-in-law?”
The owner of the continent’s greatest magic head family welcomed Danal.
They gave me all kinds of favors simply because I was a man marrying my daughter.
My father-in-law had a gentle nature and became a good drinking buddy.
That wasn’t all.
Just the Mado clan and the entire country welcomed Danal.
Above all, Igret was kinder than I expected.
“You’re my husband, right? Don’t be discouraged! “If there’s someone who’s bothering you, I’ll burn them to death!”
To sum up the situation… okay.
That would be a good title.
[Former assassin! Now that I have become the son-in-law of the head of the Madou family, people around me treat me so well?!]
“First night? Don’t worry dude! “This sister will lead the way!”
“Aaaah!”
Danal was still alive today.

Time passed like running water.
It’s been 3 years since Danal left, and the year Darlin turned 7 years old.
And the year the Portman family finally had its eldest son.
The Portman family was peaceful.
“My lord! “The lady ran away from home!”
“also?”
… It was peaceful.
