My Wife Waited in the Wheat Fields - Chapter 86
#16 West (4)
It wasn’t until about 10 minutes later that Tyria regained consciousness.
Ygret making a big fuss, and Edward with a grumpy face.
And with the addition of the knights who were only looking at it, the scene in front of them felt so ridiculous.
“… ah!”
Tyria quickly got up.
This is because the words I heard right before passing out came to mind.
‘Nazakran… !’
I don’t know if I’m sane or not, to enter Nazak, which is nowhere else in the world, on my own.
Of course, Tyria now knew that Elric was Kasha.
I feel awkward and relieved at the same time at the fact that my husband is a strong man who can’t be easily harmed by anyone, but even so, this is a thing that has crossed the line.
Na’Zak is a land of walking corpses and ghosts and all sorts of strange cold.
Indeed, it is shocking that the notoriety has spread all the way to the East.
I can’t understand Elric who is looking for such a place on his own.
Isn’t that right, even if you handle a sword well, you can’t cut an insubstantial ghost.
“M-ma’am? Are you awake now?”
“I have to hurry up and get the family head.”
Tyria spoke resolutely even though her face was white.
“What would I do if I were to be taken away by a ghost there? move quickly Duke of Wight, you should help me too.”
Tyria tended to believe in various rumors about the dead.
In fact, since the existence of the demon king was openly established in this land and even had a bad reputation in the past, such belief was quite firmly established.
that’s why i didn’t know
“Hurry up and save the family head… !”
“hmm.”
How old-fashioned the image of Tyria making a fuss, saying that her body might be taken away by a ghost, will seem to Westerners who have experienced Nazak.
“… Madam, would you like to hear me first?”
Danal spoke in a voice that would not surprise Tyria as much as possible.
‘This is why the eastern village… ‘ I didn’t think of such a disrespectful thought.
I didn’t even think that I believed such rumors as they live in the remote countryside.
Really didn’t.
… really.

When the misunderstanding was resolved, all Tyria could do was dye her face red and pretend to be indifferent.
Of course, it would only look pitiful if he pretended to be expressionless when his money had already been robbed, but anyway.
Dalgrak!
The carriage moved diligently.
There is no way to find Elric right away, and there is no way to go back.
Tyria’s choice was to head to the rear command post in the war zone.
It was the judgment that I could meet Elric someday as long as I was there.
The carriage journey was easier than the train.
Except for Ygret’s haggard laugh and Edward’s cautious demeanor, and the fact that the Templars were ashamed of their share, there was nothing wrong with it.
I wanted to get away from such an accident.
Unfortunately, it was pretty easy.
“It is a war zone from here.”
Because the scene that unfolded was so horrific.
“Just pick up a penny!!!”
Near the road where the wagons were passing, the poor were making hoarse noises, drying up.
There was a musty smell coming from all over the place, and black smoke was rising all the time from a place not too far away.
Even the person with a normal appearance had a dark expression on his face.
The soldiers moved with a lot of discipline, and the laggy mercenaries trudged along with shiny eyes.
In particular, it was the mercenaries that drew Tyria’s attention.
This is because Elric served as a mercenary for 10 years under the name of the sword demon Kasha.
“Move!”
“100 million!”
A group of mercenaries kicked the poor.
Tyria startled and shuddered.
Despite the sight that made me frown, I couldn’t help but hate it.
Because I was worried that Elric might have done the same thing.
Suddenly, Edward said.
“The old man didn’t act like those idiots.”
“hmm… ?”
“You didn’t come to the rear like this often. The elderly have been at the forefront for the past 10 years. Someone who would be busy just cutting a knife shouldn’t have had time to mess around on the street like that.”
Was he quick-witted, or was it that his expression showed emotion?
Edward’s words were words that caught on and relieved Tyria’s worries.
“In the first place, the mercenaries who play in the rear are vague to even call them mercenaries. Most of the gangsters who just use some strength are condescending, saying, “I’m a mercenary.”
“… Is that so.”
“That means you can rest assured.”
Edward smiled.
Ygret then nodded in agreement.
“card… Elric didn’t like being noticed in the first place. During those 10 years, I avoided reporters so thoroughly that I didn’t even leave a picture.”
I don’t know if I should call it fortunate.
… No, it’s definitely not fortunate.
Tyria knows him as Elric.
He is quite a people-lover, enjoys walks and conversations.
The thought that such a person must have been doing something out of temper for 10 years made me feel a little sad.
The brow narrowed.
The atmosphere in the carriage was a little more subdued.
It was after moving for such a long time.
“Im here. This is the command center.”
It was a building that appeared to have been converted from a huge mansion.
The flags of the four kingdoms are planted side by side, and Kredon Mahir’s seal is embedded in the form of a pattern in the middle.
“Once um… Yes, come over here. Still, it would be appropriate to call someone you know.”
“If anyone knows?”
“Who would you be?”
Edward shrugged.
Tyria was able to find out about the person he was talking about only belatedly.
*
The drawing room of the command center.
“I didn’t expect to see you here.”
Tyria bowed her head towards the man in front of her.
“… Long time no see.”
“It doesn’t seem like it’s been that long, but well… No, it seems like this is the first time we’ve actually exchanged greetings properly. Say hello again.”
Brilliant white hair, eyes shining with firearms.
and a wheelchair.
“Elbus Graham. Kasha’s best friend.”
He put his hand on his chest and took a short bow.
It was a smile full of composure, just like the times I had seen it before.
“Yes, the target is Kasha, right?”
“… yes.”
“Well, it’s different from what he expected.”
Tyria’s fingertips trembled.
His smile softened quite a bit.
“I left everything in Yubin. There will be nothing to worry about anymore. I said so.”
From noble mtl dot com
It would be a lie if I said I didn’t get angry.
What a heinous thing to say about solving a problem that ran away without resolving anything.
It seemed that if I spoke out right away, the resentment would come out.
Tyria was able to spit out an answer only after catching her breath briefly.
“… He is a poor head of household. You are very clumsy at work.”
“It is true. Well, since before, I didn’t have any talent other than cutting a knife. Relationships with women… .”
Tyria’s eyes widened.
Words came out that I couldn’t get over.
Elbus laughed happily.
“Oops, you almost were talking nonsense?”
Doesn’t sound like crap.
“… Is that so?”
“exactly. Men have secrets to keep.”
“Because I believe that there should be no hiding between husband and wife.”
“Personally, I think it’s a lie that’s not even funny. Those who believe in a relationship that is truly open to each other are one of them.”
Elbus spread two fingers.
“Either they both completely hid it, or they didn’t have a history to the point where they had nothing to hide.”
“In Confucius’ eyes, how about us?”
“Well, this is the first time I’ve had a private conversation with my wife, so it’s not easy to judge.”
Tyria’s fists clenched tightly.
It was to understand what I was saying at this moment.
Tyria’s reason has matured to be emotionally angry with Elric’s past.
If there was a woman who really had a relationship with him, it would have made him feel sick, but apart from that, Elbus’ attitude was suspicious to be called alien.
Tyria stared at him with a hard face.
Elbus laughed and waved his hand.
“Don’t look at me like that.”
“Are you trying to send me back by disappointing me?”
“If you felt that way, well, that must be right.”
“Then you have worked in vain.”
Standing tall, Elbus’ gesture stopped.
“Hmm?”
Interest flashed across his face.
Tyria said.
“No matter what kind of woman the family head has a relationship with, it is up to me and the family head. Even if there is a family hidden from the family head, it is a matter between me and the family head. He is my husband who goes away even after leaving such things. Since he went to the battlefield with his own choice, I must meet the family head and listen to his story. Because that’s what I have to do as a couple.”
At that, Elbus erased his laughter and asked.
“A duty?”
Tyria replied.
It was an answer that I was able to be honest only recently.
“It is neither a duty nor a responsibility. I want to. That is why.”
There was a moment of silence.
at its end,
“Pooh!”
Elbus laughed.
“Puhaha! What an interesting answer!”
mate!
He clapped.
“As expected, that friend seems to have a lot of people. Don’t you have a friend like me, a wife like you? Oh, don’t be so hard on your face. I was just worried. Because he had a lot of things, there were often women who attacked him.”
“… .”
“I’m sorry. I will tell you as an apology.”
Elbus said with a playful tone.
“That friend is sympathy. I’ve never even held hands with a woman.”
Chin, I didn’t think about the reason for the relief.
Do you feel embarrassed and ashamed for nothing?
However, Tyria said.
“… I don’t think it’s important. I am.”
“It’s not that kind of face.”
“I’m sorry if it seems that way.”
Elbus laughed like a child who found a toy.
It was a smile that gnawed at the spirit of those who would read it.
Discomfort set in.
At the same time, Tyria realized one fact.
“I can see why you became close friends with the family head.”
“What do you think?”
“The family head doesn’t bother to read something from the opponent. I just accept it as it is.”
That’s why Elric doesn’t worry about Elbus.
It would have been such an equal relationship that even Elbus was welcome and precious.
His eyes were telling him he was right.
“I think I can become quite close with my wife.”
that doesn’t even sound funny.
Tyria had a hunch that she would never be able to get close to him.
“Thank you for the favor.”
“Ouch, that’s as far as hitting the wall.”
Tyria had no intention of getting close to someone who gnawed at her opponent just by talking.
