Abandoned Retired Warrior Decides to Return to Farming

Chapter 22

I sat on the sofa, took a sip of water, and looked down.

Then, Serin, who was trying to spit at my feet, was trampled on by my eyes.

How did you come to this situation? I looked at her and smiled involuntarily.

A while ago, on her way to work, she was caught by the village youth and nearly lost her chastity.

Of course, I didn’t suffer any more because I had saved him before, but after returning home, Serin confessed to me what changed her mind and asked for forgiveness.

Presumably, including today’s work, I’ve finally reached my mental limit.

Guessing goes He must have realized how helpless he was because of this.

I couldn’t resist the people I usually ignore and almost got raped, so it’s okay.

She came to the Empire to subdue the Demon King, but that also included cutting the seeds of the strongest man.

That was one of the reasons why he constantly seduced Lowe in the original story.

So, if you get pregnant with someone else’s child, you’ll be kicked out of your hometown and abandoned without even looking at it. It’s natural to feel nervous and hard to make a normal decision.

Besides, I was the only one who could protect her now.

As it was such a situation, I could understand why she suddenly confessed her love and wanted to be embraced.

Thanks to that, she is now begging me to apologize and beg for forgiveness.

Just trusting me that I’d forgive her if she stayed in that position for an hour, she’d been holding it for 30 minutes now.

“Are you okay?”

Sweat trickled down Serin’s forehead and dripped to the floor.

I held out the glass of water I was drinking to her.

“Would you like a drink?”

“Oh, no. are you okay. You don’t have to worry about me.”

Serin answered without even raising her head. Maybe he was thinking of not getting caught up on anything.

I felt sorry for her, so I held the glass of water upside down over her head.

“Hey!?”

𝐋𝐚𝐧𝐞-

Serin’s startled scream erupted along with the sound of water.

I whispered into her ear, trembling in the cold water.

“I’m afraid it will be hot. I think I sweat a lot.”

“Hey, yeah…”

“If it’s hard, why don’t you just give up?”

“Nope. Thanks Kael. it was still hot Ehehehe…”

uhm. Seeing that he endures even this way, it seems that what happened a while ago was quite shocking.

Serin, who endures even my ridicule and even sheds a scornful laugh. Her former glory and honor could no longer be found in that wretched figure.

“Hey, Kael. How long has it been now?”

“Let’s see… it’s already been 40 minutes. I just need to hold on a little longer.”

“I, really?”

Serin’s exhausted voice brought life back to life.

I swore I wouldn’t play with my time, so she believed me and tightened her grip even harder.

If I had come and asked for an apology five years ago, or even a year ago, I would have forgiven him without having to beg like this.

I’m sorry, but now she doesn’t want to forgive me even if it’s 1 hour or 100 hours of Togeza.

To be honest, even breathing the same air under one roof was not very pleasant.

Even so, the reason why I bet her for an hour was the answer at the door beyond her.

Then I saw that the time had come.

Just then, I saw a shadow of a person passing by the window.

I spoke skillfully to Serin, who was praying hard at the right time.

“ah. Seeing that, Serene.”

“Yes? what’s the matter?”

“I forgot what I said earlier, by the way…”

Just then, a knock was heard from beyond the door.

“uh?”

Serene’s screams. However, her posture was still stagnant.

Of course, until just before the door opened with an uneasy hinge sound.

Serin slowly turned her head in the cool wind blowing from behind.

and there,

“Hey, Kael. What Jack wants to do to Serin and Kael…”

Aerith came in with the door open, and while talking, she found me and Serine, and she gasped.

Oh, I never thought he would come.

“No, I was told there was a horse…….”

“······uh? uh?”

The bodies of the two people, whose eyes crossed each other’s eyes, froze.

Serin hurriedly removed the togeja and covered herself with both hands, but it must have been too late when the door had already opened.

From Aerith’s angle, he would have seen everything as it was the front.

Thanks to that, Serin’s face, which was later stained with shame, was grinning and her mouth was quivering.

“Come on, wait, no! Look, don’t look! Don’t look here!”

“Oh, hey, I’m sorry. I will come back later!!”

Quang-

Aeris, who had shut the door hard, could see Aerith running away through the window.

Sorry Aeris. I’ll have to go apologize later.

“Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah…”

Serin, who had shown all of her ugliness, uttered a sound that she did not know whether it was a scream or a moan.

It’s a reaction similar to rolling in mud. If it’s different, I think it’s because I’m not wearing a single thread right now.

shudder-

I leisurely pushed her aside and then hung the doorknob.

And he continued to say what he was about to say.

“By the way, the door isn’t locked, so I was going to tell you to be careful, but it’s already too late, isn’t it?”

“You, you, you, knowing everything…”

Serin looked at me with an angry voice.

However, no matter how angry he was with his unsightly appearance, there was no damage.

I shrugged and shook my head in regret.

“Anyway, it’s unfortunate. Because Togeza ended in failure.”

“You’re too much…”

Serin cried and poured out her resentment towards me.

Huh, it’s only been an hour to make that fuss. For some, 20 years has been a waste of time.

I handed her a glass of water as if to give up.

“Anyway, it was hard. Try this challenge again by yourself when bored. Then, make sure you lock the door. got it?”

“wait. only once! Can’t you give me one more chance? yes?”

Serin pulled my collar and begged.

It would certainly be unfair from her point of view if what she had done so far went in vain. Because I have endured all that humiliation and shame.

I counted her feelings and gave her water directly. I was quite thirsty, so I didn’t refuse this time.

gulp.

And stroking Serin’s head, one shot at a time, I responded kindly.

“No, I don’t have a chance anymore.”

“Ugh, cool, cool!”

At my sentencing, I vomited the water Serin was drinking along with gastric juice.

Well, do you clean it all up?

“Hey, Kael. I’ll do better next time. I’ll do well…”

“I think you are misunderstanding something.”

I ruffled Serin’s hair and stood her up.

What she was imagining, she didn’t look at me, but looked down at the pitiful floor with her trembling eyes.

But I put a coat on her and gave her the answer she wanted for the first time since I came here.

“I mean, you forgive me, Serin.”

“······yes?”

A ray of light fell on her face, which had been cast in despair.

She rubbed her eyes and looked up at me in disbelief.

“Hey, Kael. What did you just say?”

“Forgive me. Of course, that doesn’t mean I hate you.”

“really? Did I not hear it wrong now? yes?”

Serin clings to me with her twinkling eyes.

Thanks to that, my clothes were all covered with tears and runny nose, and I almost tried to turn it over.

Without realizing it, Serin opened her mouth and patted her ears, eagerly waiting for my confirmation.

I patted her head in a positive way at her expectations.

“Sure.”

The truth is, I don’t really want to forgive.

Whatever the case, it’s true that you sided with Aurelia and betrayed me.

Of course, I am often content with my current life, but that does not give me an excuse to forgive her for betraying her.

Even this year, that’s not enough, not so long ago, they even got into an argument saying they would cut off their legs and make them crawl.

After all, her value in my mind still hasn’t changed much.

“So, you can’t betray me in the future. Don’t you know if I don’t tell you?”

“yes!”

Still, the reason for the forgiveness was simple.

Aurelia, the role of this elf may be important for the day she will come someday.

hero and warrior. And her status as a princess of the elves will surely be of great help. Of course, you can’t expect your ankles to fight like that.

Besides, you don’t know what will happen if you throw the already mentally exhausted boy out of here again.

The next morning, if I were hanging on the second floor, my dream seat would be wild.

First of all, it would be better to accept it outwardly. That way, you won’t be betrayed even at important moments.

Serin, who had been nodding her head at my words, sighed and looked up at me.

“Keep, go, thank you, Kael. I’m going to do really well this time. In front of Kael, I will only listen to you and do everything you ask me to do. ah! If you want, I can give you Aurelia’s neck as well.”

“No, it is.”

I hope you do well with your mother and guardian. Don’t be really cut off by betraying again later.

I sighed as I pulled her away from the runny nose on my clothes.

After that, Jack and the youth came with their parents.

I wanted to apologize to me and Serin, but Serin never came down from the second floor.

It’s probably traumatized. From that day on, I never thought about going out of the house.

In any case, as punishment, the young men were forced to do the hard work that Serin had to do for the rest of their lives.

Actually, considering the weight of the crime, it was too light, but in the end it was an attempt, and, well, Serin liked it so much that she didn’t have to go outside anymore.

Besides, the villagers couldn’t treat her harshly anymore. It seemed that the rumors had spread, so there were waves of consolation and sympathy wherever they went.

Thanks to this, my days off were increasing, so I decided to take care of the work myself.

I handed over a package of broken artifacts that I had put in the warehouse.

“Those who do not work, do not eat. You have quite a bit of magical power, so you can organize this.”

She looked at Artifact and my face alternately, but when she heard me, she nodded vigorously.

“Yes! I’ll work hard. No, I will work hard!”

“What kind of respectful words all of a sudden?”

I’ve never even bowed my head to anyone in my entire life, but suddenly I’m honored.

As I looked up to see what I meant again, she urgently shook her head from side to side.

“Oh no. something like that! I was just thinking on my own in order to be forgiven for the wrongs I’ve done to you so far. No, I’ve been thinking about it…”

“I do not need. You’re not used to it anyway, so it doesn’t stick well in your mouth.”

“It’s just that I feel uncomfortable. So, can’t you just think of me as an elf maid and accept it? huh? If you don’t like it, it’s okay to be an elf slave!”

······Something is leaning too much? I’m sure you have other thoughts on this one.

I don’t know what it is, but it must be very impure. I refused by giving an excuse not to fall for the obvious intention.

“done. If I leave you already wounded as a slave, what will the villagers say to me?”

“it’s okay. I’ll make sure you don’t get caught. So in the future, if I speak rudely or behave rudely, I can scold or corporal punishment to my heart’s content. I will do my best not to disappoint. Oh no, I will do my best!”

“·················ogue.”

“Eh, heh heh.”

Having said that, she embraced the Artifact in her arms and burst into laughter.

It was the most perfect smile of Eul I had ever seen.

After Lucia left, after the bar party was over, I saw Aerith off.

She staggered, drunkenly, smirking and waving her hand.

“Then see you tomorrow.”

“Yeah~ Have a good night, Kael too!”

is that ok Maybe he wasn’t drunk.

When I saw that she was in, I entered the house too.

Before washing, I went up to the second floor and checked the condition of Serine.

As if she had fallen asleep while fixing the doll, she was snoring with her forehead nailed to the desk.
