Was fatigue building up?
Falling asleep right where I was sitting was something that would make someone laugh.
Elric looked blankly at Tyria, who placed her hand on his shoulder.
As consciousness slowly emerged, a smile began to appear on my face.
The words came out in a quiet voice.
“… “I guess I fell asleep.”
“You must have been very tired. “So many customers came in one day.”
“I feel sorry for your wife. “Not everyone was my guest.”
“The guest of the family is my guest.”
After saying this, Tyria, who was licking her lips, suddenly asked.
“… “It seems like there are a lot of people who have formed a relationship.”
It was quite difficult to know what to answer.
It cannot be said that all of them met as enemies or allies on the battlefield.
As her lips moved, Tyria opened her mouth first.
“It’s not fussing. As I said before, please tell me when you can. I’ll wait.”
Is it awesome here?
It was something I was grateful for.
Now Elric knew something too.
Even though she feels something strange, she doesn’t ask anything out of concern for herself.
Elric couldn’t do that.
It was clear that he felt betrayed alone, was frustrated, or did something unsportsmanlike in one way or another.
Knowing how difficult it was for her, it wasn’t easy to express my gratitude.
So in the end, it’s the playful horse that gets it done.
“Why don’t you want to hear it?”
Whoa!
Tyria’s face turned red.
Her eyelashes fluttered, and her eyes became a little gloomy.
He must have been thinking about what happened during the day.
Elric burst out laughing.
“house owner… !”
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry.”
She waved her hands and apologized, but Tyria’s mood didn’t seem to get any better.
I thought that was really cute. This person is also a person who feels shame.
As the sentiment comes to mind, my insides tingle for no reason.
“I was just curious about your new appearance. “You rarely show your emotions.”
“Nobility… .”
“I don’t know. “He was born as a commoner who played on the dirt floor.”
“It’s not a good habit to humble yourself like that.”
“Keep that in mind.”
Tyria’s eyes became more stinging.
Eventually, she sighed and stood up.
“Just go to bed now. “Sleeping in a place like this will have negative effects on your body.”
For some reason, the atmosphere became scolding.
Elric scratched his cheek and answered.
“I understand. Have a good night.”
“Yes, the head of the family does the same.”
Tyria said that and poofed! She turned around and walked away from the living room.
For some reason, there was anger in my steps.
No, is it shame?
Whatever it was, it was clear that it was a cheerful sight.

A few more days passed.
The land of Wibin was living in peace again, as if it had never been so noisy.
Now that winter was slowly coming to an end, the residents of the territory began to become more active, and the mansion was also busy with the start of the year’s farming.
And Elric was feeling distraught, one step away from those things.
-The empire will be divided.
It was because of what the prince said.
The war will become more intense.
The war will not only end in the west, but will rage all the way to the east.
It was a statement that made me think a lot.
Normally, he would have said he would leave for the battlefield.
My knees are almost completely healed now and I can walk without a cane, so there is nothing to worry about.
Still, what can I say about the reason why I can’t leave?
“house owner.”
It was because Tyria was here.
Elric now acknowledged it.
“Why are you calling me?”
“You should go out together today.”

“hmm?”
“You have to learn how to look after the fields. “This is the most important routine when starting farming.”
Tyria was showing her usual bluntness, as if she had been trembling with shame for some time.
When I mention what happened that day, my face turns red again, but since Elric avoids too much bullying, I rarely see that expression on my face.
Anyway, it’s a field.
“I understand. egg plant.”
Elric stood up without his wand.
I felt a sense of emptiness when something I had held onto for almost half a year was gone, but I also felt refreshed.
Now, I put aside my fur cloak and go to the mansion.
The spring breeze has arrived and passes through my body.
The smell of soil and fertilizer dissolves in the air and relaxes the stomach.
I became immersed in such things and learned the trade from Tyria.
If you are immersed in the quiet voice, the worries of the battlefield will disappear at some point and seem like something far away.
It was her magic.
The addictive nature of this comfort was growing hesitation within Elric day by day.
When I glanced at her, I saw that she was fully concentrated.
She is putting so much effort and effort into her work that it makes her feel sorry that she is thinking about something else.
“Matriarch, are you listening?”
“I was listening. “It’s not about soil quality.”
“… Please concentrate.”
Elric laughed awkwardly.
I’m not focused because of you.
I was really embarrassed to say it.
“Okay, let’s move on.”
And she joins hands.
Warmth spreads from where it touches.
I feel like a softness that is different from mine envelops my body.
“… Okay, let’s go.”
Elric stood up.
Meanwhile, the weighing continued.
Should I leave for the battlefield or stay here?
While I was lost in thought, suddenly,
“Now that I think about it, let’s go.”
Tyria said.
“There is one more thing to do before farming begins.”
Those were words that forced Elric, who was struggling with hesitation, to make a choice.
“You must officially attain the rank of lord. “The head of the family and Wibin’s body have gradually stabilized.”
At least time didn’t seem to be on Elric’s side.
“Let’s prepare for the inauguration ceremony.”
*
Actually, there was nothing surprising.
Elric was the only one who made up his mind to leave, and since he never discussed it with anyone else, others would have no choice but to judge that he would stay in Wibin forever.
He didn’t even deny it at all.
Until now, no one would have mentioned it because of the discomfort in his legs, but now that even that disability has disappeared, holding the inauguration ceremony is a planned process.
Elric himself was the only problem.
“Like previous harvest festivals, the inauguration ceremony will be held in the village square. This part gathered opinions from deacons and other retainers. “I heard that there are many residents of the territory who want to see the head of the family take office as the lord.”
“… “Did you?”
“Because you were famous since you were young.”
Elric looked at Tyria.
She was strangely excited.
No, it wasn’t just her.
From the moment word about the inauguration ceremony began, the atmosphere in Weibin was extremely excited.
Wibin is having a truly exciting time as he begins another year of farming, looks forward to his inauguration ceremony, and welcomes the warmth of spring.
“During the inauguration ceremony, other nobles must also be invited. Please leave this part to me, and the head of the house, please concentrate on preparing the ceremony together with the butler. Ah, the Knights… .”
Her voice fades away.
I just look at the face and stop at the crossroads in front of me.
Leave or stay?
A bitter smile bloomed.
‘I’m so attached to you.’
It would have been something not worth worrying about, but that is no longer the case.
If I had known this would happen, I would have treated her harshly and closed my heart.
Don’t try to get to know her.
“… house owner?”
Why do I have to stop walking because of the snow?
Why have you come to occupy such a big place in my heart?
“Are you feeling unwell?”
If you see a face every day, how can it be something new every time you see it?
Why do I get so anxious if I don’t see him even for a day?
Why do I look for you more than the dagger in my arms when my heart is agitated?
That question kept coming to mind.
And he just looked away, but Elric already knew the answer.
“no. “I just thought it was very heavy.”
“I’m sure you’ll be able to do well.”
“I guess that’s because I have a wife.”
“… yes?”
“I need your help, madam. I am.”
I spoke without thinking.
In other words, it was sincere.
“Can you do that?”
The moment she spoke, Tyria’s expression became diluted.
It was a small smile.
“You are stating the obvious. “I am the wife of the head of the family.”
The moment a quiet voice penetrates my ear,
‘ah.’
I realize it.
You don’t want to leave this smile.
I wanted to keep seeing that from the side, so I raised my concerns out of that selfishness.
‘Stupidly… .’
He had developed feelings for her.
When I acknowledged it, I felt both relaxed and uncomfortable.
The feeling that there was a thorn in my throat that had not left for a moment since I came to Wibin grew bigger than ever.
“… The time has already come to this. “Let’s go eat.”
“I understand.”
Elric smiled.
I felt like I was in a quagmire.
That feeling became even stronger the next morning.
『Cheonik, surrender to circumstances.
Circumstances Elhadak Mahir entered the war.
It took only three days from his participation in the war to the conquest of Disha.
During the siege of the capital, Cheonik protected the royal family by submitting to circumstances.』
Something was going awry.
