Can't We Just be Happy? (18) – unedited

“I'll bring Chenin.”

“Young bride?”

Me, what are you talking about? As soon as I spoke, the village chief leaned in front of me and his eyes twinkled.

“Is, is it true? What will you do”

There is no such thing as a detailed plan. It seemed unlikely that Chenin would put everything down and return to the countryside, no matter how. If so, there is only one way.

“A kidnapping, kidnapping.”

“Kidnapping?!”

“I have to meet Chenin and have a conversation with her first, and if it doesn't work, I have to force her to come. She's about to die right now, so what's the use of power? Isn't it?”

I finally said it. I've been wanting to say this all along. Just sitting quietly at Sezaine doesn't make my worries go away. I should try even if I struggle.

“Oh, the young bride alone is dangerous.”

“Me too…….”

“No, I'll go alone.”

My words prevented Merson from standing up. He should go to the Demon King's Castle.

Merson's face contorted when he understood the meaning. He had a look of disbelief.

“No. I can't let Erina go alone.”

“I am not a kid.”

“Still no.”

“You have no right to say no to me. I decide my actions.”

“Erina.”

I whispered close to Merson in case anyone else could hear it.

“You… you have to go back now.”

I spoke quickly so the rest of the words won't be heard.

“I won't go directly to County Abitz. I'll send her a letter, make an appointment in the capital, and try to convince her. Well, she doesn't seem to be attached to an escort knight, so I'll forcefully bring her.”

“Whatever it is, just so our Chenin can arrive safely.”

The village chief gave a small hope to me. While Aunt Aja repeated the words over and over again, saying, “Please, please”, she just put her arms around her and shut her mouth in worry. Then, as the village chief bowed down to his waist and pleaded, he reluctantly gave me a word.

“If it gets dangerous, run away right away, okay?”

The problem with Chenin was settled by me.

However, the conditions suggested by Count Abitz could not be ignored, so the village chief divided the territory in half, starting from the place furthest from the villagers' houses. There was farmland that he had managed his whole life, and there was also Uncle Paul's orchard.

Before long, the words of having to hand over half of the estate reached the ears of the villagers, and Uncle Paul finally burst into tears.

We were only able to return home when dusk fell.

“The demons didn't come, and only the County people came.”

When I had a lot of trouble, I unconsciously began to appreciate the sky. It's a habit I got after falling into the book, but I didn't have any anonymous online friends that would listen to me, and I didn't even have a friend to give me a drink, so I wanted to tell the sky.

As usual, I brought a chair and sat with his chin crossed, looking out the window. The night sky, which had no way of knowing my worrying heart, contained only the stars.

Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks

I have to go to the capital… These demons say they will come. Before the count's armed men could seize the village, I had to hurry back with Chenin. I'm worried about Merson's well-being, the villagers, and my future life… … ! Ahh, I'm going crazy.

“by the way…….”

Merson is quiet. I could feel a stinging gaze behind my back, but it didn't stick to me like usual. He doesn't like me going alone, but that's what I'm doing. I couldn't help it, so I deliberately decided to ignore him.

I looked up at the sky endlessly. Until my eyes start to hurt.

The stars shone brightly, and the refreshing summer moon illuminated the road over the village. No matter how dark the surrounding is, it would be nice if it was bright.

Crash!

“What the…!”

I was drenched in emotion, but it was broken. The sound of glass crashing behind my back was irritating.

When I reflexively looked at the side of the sound, I saw a plate lying on the floor. Behind the broken plate, Merson was staring straight at me. I seem to hear the words 'why aren't you watching me?'

Yes, this was a nerve war.

I got up to clear the plate away, then sat back down on the chair. This whining is over now. He has to go to the Demon King's castle, I have to go to the capital. I will never accept it.

Graaaate. Graaaate.

This time I heard the sound of scraping wood. I glanced to the side and saw Merson scraping the door with a fork. In the middle part of the door, the bark was peeled off, leaving the unsightly four lines.

This really…….

I put down my anger and endured it with superhuman patience. Do you want to do this?

Clothes and blankets flutter. Merson began to float objects in the house with his magical powers.

Ignoring it, I walked to the bed and lay down.

“Uwoh?!”

The bed floated up. Merson squatted with his knees folded in front of the front door.

As I stared at him from the bed, Merson pointed his index finger down. Gradually the bed fell down and found its place. However, the other objects are still floating in the air.

Flip! Flap!

The closet door opened and closed quickly, and utensils came to mind. It was literally a mess.

“My God.”

Screw this. I touched my forehead. I stood in front of Merson with a heavy footstep sound. He looked up at me.

There was water in the red eyes. My heart was pounding, and I barely held back from hugging him. I took a deep breath and spoke strongly.

“Stop right now.”

Crash!

Things that floated in the air found gravity and fell to the floor in a disorderly manner.

“This kind of protest won't work for me.”

“Let's go together.”

“I told you.”

Sending him to the Demon King's Castle is a great decision for me too, isn't it?

I looked forward to Merson meeting Serdebella. Because it was my only hope to return to the original world.
