Abandoned Retired Warrior Decides to Return to Farming

Room 602, the room where the two girls are staying in the inn.

There, a girl who was bored and about to die was rummaging through the bed with her whole body.

“I can’t take it anymore!”

“Lou, Lucia. Please stop it!”

Aerith dried it urgently, but to no avail.

Lucia, lying on the bed, looked at her with a fat face.

“I will go out and play too! I also want to go around with Kael.”

“Lucia, only one day has passed. You decided to stay quiet until the party was over.”

“no. boring. boring. I’m bored!”

“Hah…”

Lucia is protesting while rolling from side to side on the bed.

A cry came out of Aerith’s mouth, who had been comforting her with a song.

While coming to the capital, it wasn’t once or twice that he said that he was bored with the carriage.

But at that time, Cael gave Tyler well every time, so I arrived here without any problems.

Last night, after being told that she had to stay in her room for a week, Lucia reached her limit.

Right after walking around the city streets, I was so excited that I could not help but see it right in front of my nose, I understood.

In her mind, Aerith also wanted to do what she wanted, but now it was impossible.

The identities of the two cannot be revealed to Aureliane yet.

So I couldn’t leave the inn until then.

“ha······.”

Aerith leaned back in her chair and half closed her eyes.

Sweets and fairy tales. It was meaningless to even comfort them by rubbing their hands and feet or hugging them.

Even if you’re quiet anyway, after a while, you’ll start fighting again.

The children I taught at the church were certainly not like this.

“Hey, Lucia. At least after taking off your shoes…”

“Why are you rudely going out to play with only Serin Kael? I want to go out on a date too!”

“Lucia. Do you know what a date is?”

“I don’t know!”

Then why did you say it?

Aerith smiled a little, and finally pulled out her hidden special move.

“Um, but if you leave now, Kael will hate you. Is Lucia still okay?”

“Ugh.”

At Aerith’s words, Lucia stopped.

kael hates it. That is, of course, a confrontation, and it is a story of not staying with them or playing with them.

“Hey. I hate that.”

Eventually, Lucia sighed and sat down on the bed.

At that moment, Aerith also sighed in relief.

The bedspreads are already filthy with dust and dirt, but you should be glad that you’re calm now.

As she opened her arms, Lucia gently entered her arms.

“Then let’s be patient. I’ll tell Kael to play with Lucia later.”

“really? Aerith Is that true?”

“yes. Sure. I can’t lie to Lucia. Lucia knows.”

At that time, Lucia’s expression brightened a little at Aerith’s promise.

This will be fine for the time being. Aerith looked out the window with peace of mind.

There were still many people on the streets, and the parks and stalls that Lucia wanted to go to were also crowded with people.

And among them, Aurelia’s soldiers roamed around and watched the inn.

Of course, there is blind magic on the windows so they cannot be seen from the outside.

Feeling like their eyes met, Aerith turned her gaze away.

She comforted Lucia by stroking her hair.

“Then wait a little longer.”

Having said that, Aerith’s gaze stayed on the cathedral.

After breaking up with Cael, Serin did not return to the inn immediately.

“Hehehe.”

Serin sits on a park bench and kicks her feet. He pressed his robe tightly, but he couldn’t hide that pleasant smile.

With a bright laugh, she stroked the part of the head that Cael had stroked her a while ago.

“He told me ‘together’.”

He giggled as he remembered what he had just said.

People around me looked at me strangely, I covered my mouth with both hands,

“Heh heh.”

Still, the laughter continued.

With only two small hands, he could not hide this fluttering feeling.

“I hope the master would say something like that…”

In the past, I had heard this word dozens or hundreds of times during my travels, but now it feels completely different.

Maybe it’s because I’ve never heard of it in town.

Even if it was just one word, I felt the guilt that had been following me until now was blunted.

When I think about it, it helped heal my ankle, which I thought was a stigma of betrayal.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that he had already forgiven this and accepted him as a colleague again.

“Is not it. Am I not thinking wrong? Is this… is this what it’s supposed to be?”

No one answered, but Serin nodded her head slightly.

A corner of my heart that had been frustrated since I saw Mary yesterday felt like it was now opened.

Instead, an unfamiliar excitement filled the void.

“······yes?”

Then, suddenly curious, he put his hand on his chest.

What are these emotions?

The emotions I felt when I saw Mary and Kael yesterday.

It felt like dark clouds were forming in my heart.

And this feeling you are feeling right now.

On the contrary, it felt like a warm energy revolved in the clear sky.

Although they are opposite feelings, what they have in common is that both of them stem from Kael.

“I don’t know.”

I shook my head at the complicated mind I felt for the first time.

When Cael talked to Mary and praised her.

If only he hated Kael like that and just thought about it, if the world was depressed as if there was a drought,

Now it tickles and makes my heart flutter.

And Serin’s gaze naturally turned to the couples around her.

Couples making love with each other in the park and having an act of affection.

However, Serin had never dreamed of a life like that for decades or hundreds of years.

It was a woman who never felt even a single fluttering excitement from not only humans, but even from her own kind.

As a princess, she was looking for the perfect husband out of a sense of duty for the revival of the country.

Love, dating, and marriage were all just political means for the future.

It was only to produce good seeds and to raise up a declining nation.

And there was a time when I tried to select Kael and Lowe as the target.

Of course, it’s all useless now.

“·······Huh? Wait, why is that useless?”

Serin tilted her head without thinking.

Now my ankle is better. Maybe I should start over

This was no longer a village.

She had a lot to go, and the people who could help her right away would be more than enough to encircle this empire.

Moreover, Cael forgave her and refused to bond any more.

Still, she stood by Cael’s side and claimed to be his servant.

We are in a position to help our motherland by working closely with the Empire and Aurelia.

The town’s public goods are already over, and I think it would be enough to stop being slaves and maids at any time and go to Aurelia.

“Nevertheless, what do I want to do now?”

Of course, it wasn’t a lie to ask Cael for forgiveness. It was sincere, and I am still regretting it.

But at that time, the only way to live was to bow down to him and ask for forgiveness.

Even though I called the first master and followed it without a word, I was afraid of being kicked out of the house.

‘Then why am I still staying with the master?’

After entering the city, Serin begins to question her fate.

As I was trying to find the answer, I suddenly looked at the couples around me again.

Suddenly, a tremor grew in my chest.

“I······.”

“Fufu. Se-Lin.”

At that moment, a familiar voice came from behind Serin, who was worried.

A familiar yet creepy voice that reaches my ears.

Thousands of dark clouds fell over the excitement I had just before.

“merry!”

Serin widened the distance and placed her hand on the sword that was wrapped around her waist.

He showed hostility with the momentum to pull him out at any moment.

“Fufu. Calm down. I didn’t come here to fight you.”

“Hey, who knows!”

“Oh, so?”

Serin growled, but Mary grinned when she saw her like that.

“Then, Serena. Are you sure you’re going to hit me in the neck right now?”

At those words, Serin’s hand that was holding the sword’s handle trembled.

If there was a fight here, there was a high possibility that the citizens would get involved.

In addition, I remembered Kael’s words not to fight or contact Aurelia and her party until the party.

“Ugh.”

Serin finally takes her hand off the sword.

Seeing that, Mary approached her with a laugh.

“The birds I haven’t seen have become so calm. In the past, I was arrogant and only knew myself, and I didn’t even listen to what others were saying.”

“······shut up.”

“Huhu, haha, it’s quite a pleasant sight to see you, who disregarded humans every day as if they were a low-class race, but now you are obeying them as ‘master’.”

Mary’s mocking tone filled with malice.

Since it was a word with a clear intention, Serin continued to ignore it.

The more you deal with it, the more you will get caught up in its intentions.

Just as she was about to return to the inn, Mary pulled something out of her arms.

“Voila!”

In her outstretched hand, there was a white flower pin on her head.

Serin looked at the flower pin for a moment and then looked at her.

“what are you doing. now.”

“gift. It’s been a long time since we met It was specially prepared by me to build friendship with my colleagues.”

Mary held out her hand more as if to take it quickly.

“Oh, don’t get me wrong. Because I didn’t play any jokes here.”

Having said that, Mary pointed to a store.

Apparently they were selling the same thing there, and even when the flowers are blooming now, I can’t feel the magic.

“done.”

But there was no reason to take it.

Mary was an enemy, and she had always been a shy woman.

And above all else, I didn’t want any trivial help from her right now.

“Fufu, don’t be like that. Serin, you’re a girl too, so you should dress up a little.”

“Ahhh!”

Having said that, Mary showed off the dress she was wearing.

Seeing that, Serin couldn’t respond at all.

It was a different outfit from yesterday, but still a gorgeous and luxurious dress suited her well.

On the other hand, all the brown robes he bought at the village clothing store.

There were no common patterns or decorations.

‘Besides… the master admitted that Mary was pretty.’

As I recalled what Cael had said the night before, I became even more gloomy.

Even though Mary was a traitor, she praised her, so the shock was even greater.

Of course, he replied roughly because he was bothered, but Serin still had it in his heart.

“Come on, here.”

Mary forcibly gives her a flower pin.

Serin was startled and tried to return it, but Mary had already disappeared by magic.

Only a voice could be heard from nowhere.

“Try it for once. If you don’t like it, you can throw it away.”

“Because I don’t need it! take it.”

“Fufu. It will suit you really well. And maybe not? Will you compliment me on how pretty Kael is?”

“Well, it can’t be…….”

But Mary’s presence was no longer felt.

Serin was conflicted as she looked at the hairpin held in her hand.

“Yeah, I’ll have to throw it away too.”

But unlike horses, it was difficult to let go of them.

There was a trash can just a few steps away, but my foot didn’t come off as if it had been nailed down.

I just couldn’t forget what Kael said about Mary.
