Chapter 43: Drawn by the Hand

✓Drawn by hand

“...Thank you..not an excuse, but I thought I would be able to see you again if I had a reason..” (Rifreya).

“W-Wa...What did you say?” (Mari)

“Rifreya. Please call me that.” (Rifreya)

He did 'ehe' and laughed as if he was embarrassed. It was as if he could only see me.

The black market old man looked at me with a grin on his face, as if it was a cute watch.

“T-Wait, let's move location.” (Mari)

“Ah!” (Rifreya)

"Don't make a weird sound." (Mari)

I pulled his arm forcefully and moved to an uninhabited location.

I didn't expect a beautiful person like this would fall in love so easily.

Or is he making fun of me here?

…No, I find it hard to believe that this is acting.

“So...the reason why you chased me is because, uhm..you fell in love with me..?” (Mari)

“I want to meet you at any cost. I myself understand that I am being weird here, but. (Rifreya)

Looking at her stealing gaze at me was really like a girl in love, and my heart was shaken.

If I were asked if I was happy or not about being loved, I would say I was happy.

I've never been loved by someone as beautiful as this.no, I've never had the opposite sex fall in love with me.

I would be lying if I said I was unhappy.

I'm sick of that simple side of my mind.

But I have no intention of accepting it.

“I don't know why you're so interested in me, but.I'm like a mushroom stuck in this Dungeon city. It is true that I saved you there at that time, but it was only sudden. You shouldn't make strange misunderstandings just because of that.. Also, you are a person who is too charming for me.” (Mari)

We were very different in every sense of the word, so just like how I looked at him with admiration, he might start to be attracted to me as someone very different from him.

But no doubt it was just an illusion at the moment.

Her brain misinterpreted something for a while because I saved her.

“It was not a misunderstanding. It's the first time I feel like this.. Also. I have to leave this city, so at least I want to thank you at the end.” (Rifreya)

“B-REally?” (Mari)

"…Yes.Yes." (Rifreya)

I jump to conclusions here.

She probably thought of thanking me without having to tell me about her feelings.I was the stubborn person here and made her talk.

It's not a romance comic, so it's not like it's always going to be a progression where you have to go with them if you fall in love.

I'm ashamed of myself.

"…understand. In that case, I just have to accept the gift for your gratitude, right?” (Mari)

"Are you going to accept it?" (Rifreya)

“...Yes, strangely I am also stubborn here. I'm sorry." (Mari)

“Then, first.. let's eat! Do you have something you don't like?" (Rifreya)

"Eat?!" (Mari)

It was an unexpected invitation.

He was talking about thanking me, so I thought he was going to give me something, but that didn't seem to be the case.

If it is just eating, then it should be done immediately.

It's already night. We shouldn't stand out with this much darkness.

I may have my circumstances, but it is also true that he has been waiting all the time in front of the Dungeon and on the black market.

I don't know much about the common sense of this world. There may be a habit that you have to pay back the debt no matter what. Rifreya had delayed him from leaving the city because of this, so his plan must have been delayed due to my stubbornness.

I suddenly thought about the viewers.

However, no matter how beautiful Rifreya was, there was no way the audience would grow just because we ate together. Although it increased slightly, thinking about it as a temporary improvement would make me feel more comfortable.

“If you don't have something you hate, please leave it to me. I know a great place.” (Rifreya)

He pushed his chest proudly and pulled my hand cheerfully.

I walked as if dragged by this.

◇ ◆ ◆ ◇

I was watching her platinum blonde hair, which I had only seen on TV or in photos before, diagonally behind her.

I have black hair, cheap black clothes, dirty boots, and I'm not that tall. We really don't fit.

(We look like a princess and her servant.) (Mari)

She has such amazing beauty that it makes me think like that.

No, maybe it'll be more complicated because I'm Japanese. How many men wouldn't feel inferior when they were by someone like him who was like the main character in a fantasy game?

There was no way I could feel superiority by walking on the side of beauty.

The only thing I felt was discomfort.

(He said he loved me... Really it..?) (Mari)

I vaguely thought about that while looking at Rifreya's waving hair.

As someone who's had years without a boyfriend equals how old I am, this is truly a shocking revelation.

This situation felt as unrealistic as coming to a parallel world.

... Putting the situation aside, he said he was going to leave the city.

In that case, this relationship with him would only last until today.

The place that Rifreya brought to me was not a fancy restaurant but an ordinary restaurant.

A building made of stone, rustic wooden tables, a cozy restaurant that feels as if it is run only by husband and wife.

Rifreya, who I thought was a princess, took me to a place, so I thought she would take me to a fancy restaurant. I'm honestly relieved by this.

“Please sit there... Don't run away again, yes?” (Rifreya)

"I won't run away once I get this far." (Mari)

Rifreya finally let go of my hand.

I rubbed my hands that still had its warmth and sat down.

Rifreya started ordering things in a familiar way from the women who came to accept our order.

(Now that I think about it, this is the first time I've entered a restaurant.) (Mari)

I only ate fruits in the forest, and I have dealt with all my food needs from the food cart.

The inn did not provide any food, but I did not have the courage to enter the restaurant in a parallel world alone.

The inside of the store was only lit by candlelight, so it was quite dark, and customers saw me and Rifreya.no, mostly to Rifreya, and then they would see me, and then they would see me, but I can take that kind of stare.

After a while, a drink was served.

I didn't really tell her what I liked, but it looks like she ordered it for me.

Well, I did tell her that I would hand her over to her, and this must be how it works in this world.

“Well, once again, thank you for saving me. A toast!" (Rifreya)

“Y-ya.” (Mari)

I clinked the glass awkwardly, and drank orange juice.

(Hm?!) (Mari)
