Elric began to groan while looking at the documents.
Tyria watched quietly.
At a glance, it appears to be a document related to this year’s year-end settlement.
As it is a settlement, it is probably a document compiled as a whole, but its importance is still painful to say the least.
Tyria suddenly became anxious.
It’s not that I don’t trust Elric, but if he’s bad at work and makes a mistake on a single number, wouldn’t it be twice as difficult to correct it?
You may have to do something that needs to be done once, multiple times.
Tyria’s body gradually leaned in Elric’s direction due to rising anxiety.
It was that moment.
“Uh, uh-huh! “I will take care of it!”
Elric covered the documents with his arm.
It was like a child trying to hide a side dish from the table.
Why does he look like that even though he has a large body and the thick lines of an adult man?
“… “I haven’t taught you about closing accounts yet.”
“I’ve learned something so far, and I’ll try my best!”
“Are you confident?”
A scratchy tone of voice was something Tyria often saw when she was teaching.
Although she was not aware of it herself, this tendency was full of a strange aura that made others feel intimidated.
Cold sweat flowed from Elric’s forehead.
Tyria narrowed her eyes.
“It’s okay to put things off. It’s okay to be slow. However, making a mistake is difficult. “It’s an important document.”
“Well, that’s…” .”
“I asked if you were confident.”
Elric could not bear to say so and shook his head.
However, it was not a complete surrender.
“But that doesn’t work. I’ll just try it myself and only ask about the parts I don’t know. “Your wife needs stability.”
Tyria suddenly stopped.
‘also… .’
You call me wife.
I was so moved by each of these things that my heart became weak, so I didn’t feel like pushing Elric any further.
Tyria eventually sighed and nodded.
“… “You must ask what you don’t know.”
“I understand!”
Elric nodded his head loudly with a confident face.
Immediately after, I turned my gaze to the documents,
“… “Then can I ask you just one question?”
I started asking questions right away.
Tyria wanted to say a lot, but she held back the question because she felt she had to raise Elric’s spirit.
However, after five minutes of giving an answer, he continued to ask another question for an hour, so he was slowly reaching his limit.
Tyria finally asked.
“If this is going to happen, I’ll just…” .”
“Uh-huh!”
“… .”
What should I do with that guy’s stubbornness?
Tyria had a lot to think about.

Although there were accidents, Elric gradually became accustomed to working alone.
All Tyria did for those few days was answer questions that became less frequent and glance at Elric while pretending to look out the window.
It had to be that way.
This is because Elric prohibited all other work.
That would be the case if I brought up a few representative anecdotes.
“I want to read a book… .”
“No. “Looking at the letters won’t give you a headache.”
His hobby is reading, so he asked for it, but was turned down.
“Then the embroidery… .”
“If you use up your concentration, you will get a headache.”
Embroidery, which was a way to kill time, was also banned.
“Even if it’s just a moment of wind outside… .”
“Are you hoping my cold will get worse?”
What on earth is the idea that a cold can get worse just by getting a few minutes of air? Even that was banned.
There was something that Tyria had finally realized.
The point was that Elric thought of himself as a piece of glasswork that would break if he touched it.
It’s nice to be worried, but I don’t like being seen as someone who just needs to be taken care of.
Rather, I wonder who he sees as a child when he himself acts like a child.
A lot of words passed through Elric’s mind because of his actions, but in conclusion, Tyria didn’t say any of them.
Still, it wasn’t all that bad.
For example, the current situation was like that.
“The fever is slowly going down now.”
He was putting his hand on his forehead.
At a close distance he was smiling to himself.
One day, something I thought was like a dream, and another day, something I thought would never happen actually happens, and happiness quietly surrounds me.
A tingling feeling penetrates my heart when I see the dark brown eyes containing myself.
At times like that, Tyria had to work hard to control her expression that was about to break.
As long as my hand was attached, I had to endure such embarrassment, but at the same time, I laughed at my own stupidity as I showed my duplicity and prayed that this moment would never end.
It was very satisfying to spend more time together.
“How are you feeling?”
“I think I can get to work now.”
“That’s not possible.”
“I am… .”
“Rest.”
Elric’s smile deepened.
Eventually, the words he spoke were truly sweet.
“There is no time more than these days that I realize how much your wife has suffered. I also have a guilty heart. That’s why it’s like this. Please consider it my own apology.”
There was something I wanted to ask.
Are you really just feeling guilty?
Other than that, do you have any other feelings for me?
Why are you smiling so warmly at me?
I build them one by one and then erase them.
Instead of embarrassing words, what I said were somewhat harsh words.
“Now then, please let me read at least a book.”
“Uhm… It’s fine as long as it’s not difficult. “What do you want to read?”
“There is a book with a brown cover in the second row from the top of the bookshelf. Please take it out.”
Elric took out a book.
“Plant encyclopedia.”
“yes.”
Tyria took the book and swept the cover.
Because I had been reading this book for over 18 years, it was full of hand stains here and there.
“Uhm, don’t look too long. “It’s almost time to sleep.”
Just as he said, it was dark outside the window.
Tyria nodded and answered.
“Go in and sleep. “I will sleep for a little while.”
“That’s right. See you tomorrow.”
Only after Elric left the room did Tyria open the book.
There was no hesitation in turning the pages of the book because I knew the content no matter where I opened it.
If you ask why you are reading something you already know, Tyria had only one answer.
It’s not about memorizing the content, but about reminiscing about the moment you first read this book.
-If you don’t know, study!
She gradually fell into memories.

It was a life without any good things.
Even now, her life is mostly full of unpleasant things, but 8-year-old Tyria was living in such misery that she couldn’t even figure out why she was alive.
There was one reason.
This is why her small world, Wibin, was such a sharp place.
When she thought back on Wivin from those days, there was one thing that came to Tyria’s mind.
Wow!
“Why can’t I even do this!”
punishment.
“I told you to understand it by today. Lady Yubin, is it true that you really worked hard?!”
Tyria remembered Wibin’s corporal punishment from those days.
“Put on your calf!”
“… yes.”
Tyria received etiquette training from the time she was able to walk on her own.
The teacher was a countess who was famous in this field, and her parents had paid a lot of money to call her, so they hoped that Tyria would pay for it.
There was something her father said that Tyria still remembers.
“Be dignified as a noble. “If you want to marry into a good family, you must never get hold of books.”
Tyria didn’t know why she had to marry into a good family.
I didn’t know why I couldn’t open my mouth wide when eating, I didn’t know why I had to pay attention to my steps, and I didn’t know why I couldn’t speak loudly.
I just thought it was normal because I heard that from a very young age.
It was only after I became an adult that I realized that those days were abuse, so isn’t it obvious what Tyria did back then?
“sorry… .”
Tyria always had to apologize.
I had to apologize for having food on my lips, I had to apologize for running around, I had to apologize for dozing off in the morning, and I had to apologize for not falling asleep right away at night.
It was like that that day too.
Tyria failed to properly follow the Countess’s etiquette education, and was subjected to corporal punishment by being spanked on the calf.
What was different from usual was that it wasn’t the end.
“Your progress is slow.”
The Countess complained to her parents that her progress in class was slower than her peers, which hurt her parents’ pride.
After all, they were drunk. And even in the midst of all this, they had such a shallow humanity that they could not even say a word to the Countess.
The incident occurred after the Countess returned.
“I can barely do that! “We are investing this much!!!”
Wow!
Tyria was hit in the face for the first time at the age of eight.
It wasn’t just one or two.
I remember at least ten or more.
“why! “Why don’t you know our hearts!”
The hand that lifted his cheek was cruel, his voice was fierce, and his large size was intimidating.
Tyria apologized as always.
“sorry!”
But even though I cried and hung on, the vicious hands did not stop.
That day, Tyria’s face swelled like a steamed bun to the point where it was no longer in shape, and she spent that night in pain and fear.
That may have been why.
He broke the strict order of never entering the mansion and secretly left the mansion.
Maybe it was because he wanted to ask someone for help.
“Hmm… .”
Tyria left the mansion limping with a swollen calf from the whipping.
I went out into the street crying with my face bruised and bruised.
Elric was a boy I met that very day.
“What is this ugly kid?”
Now, I live every day struggling with my love for him,
“and… “How can people be like this?”
Looking back, my first impression of Elric was the worst.
