The Knight Wants To Be in a Relationship - Chapter 50



50. Friends

* * *

I decided to keep the fact that Eri was kidnapped a secret. It wasn’t hard to hide her. The village elders were all drinking at the time, and Anya quickly washed the dirty clothes.

Because she left no trace, she was confident that no one would find out. After a night like that, the villagers began to look at them with happy eyes.

‘…… What?’

A keen sense senses the gaze of the villagers. As if he knew everything about what happened last night.

Surprised as to how he could find out after hiding it so tightly, Evan first visited Eri and realized why the villagers were walking around with such happy faces.

“hehehehe~.”

Eri was hanging out her laundry while humming her song.

That’s Eri.

She always yelled at me and was dissatisfied with everything she did.

As if something good had happened last night.

“Eri.”

“Oh, eh…… You fool! Why do you come here on your own in the morning!?”

“No, how far away… ….”

“Noisy! People are staring! Go away!”

“Isn’t it because your voice is so loud that I’m looking at you?”

Even though it was a legitimate claim, Evan eventually returned home. It seemed that something else would happen if I stayed next to Eri, who was screaming something with her blushing face.

‘Fortunately, he doesn’t seem to have any trauma.’

It was worthwhile to kiss her. When she realizes that what she did was not in vain, Evan’s lips go up.

When she returned home like that, Anya, who was preparing breakfast, quickly approached her with a smile.

“You’re back. Sword Master! Breakfast is ready! I had to wake up her father and mother…… May I ask you instead?”

“Okay.”

“Oh, and- I have a favor, can you please?”

“If it’s an easy request.”

“Hmmm, then please stand there for a moment.”

After clearing her throat a few times, Anya killed her pupils in an instant and looked at Evan. She had the face of an abandoned woman who, for some reason, had completely died of feelings.

“…… Did you enjoy last night?”

“…… No?”

“─It was my dream to try this line once! Kyaaak-! Thank you, Swordsman! Ah, now go wake them up!”

“It’s acting, right?”

She asked back because her tone was too lively for acting, but Anya didn’t answer as if she hadn’t heard and headed to the kitchen.

Feeling goosebumps running down her spine, Evan entered his parents’ room, pondering what line that was.

“Dad, Mom – have breakfast… ….”

“Eh, Evan!? Oh well okay. Don’t come down soon.”

“…… Sorry to disturb you.”

Evan looked into the eyes of his naked parents hugging him and turned his head away at a loss for words.

Evan, who belatedly realized why he had given him the job of waking her parents, quietly closed the door and left the room.

Fortunately or unfortunately, the second brother did not have to worry because he was already in his stomach.

‘Is that so good?’

Is that act so good that he would do it without even trying, even though his family and non-family members were in the house—— Evan started to get a little curious.

However, the problem was that there was no one I could ask to do it right away.

‘…… Shall we go?’

Yes, no one was there.

Although there were non-human beings.

* * *

“Ugh, are you going back already?”

“Because it’s right there by the carriage.”

About a week later, having enjoyed his vacation as much as he could, Evan was ready to return to the city.

The villagers, who haven’t seen each other in a long time, express their regret that Evan is already leaving, but in Evan’s eyes, that regret is not because he left, but because the food he brought has run out.

Promising to bring more next time, Evan lightly waved his hand and greeted the villagers.

“—Evan!”

Just as I was about to leave in the carriage, Eri quickly ran and quickly blocked the carriage. Evan burst into laughter as she saw her revealing her face after not showing her face properly all week.

His face was still red, but he seemed to be able to overcome his shame.

“It’s been a while. Eri.”

“Already, are you going already?”

“I have to go. Oh, do you need anything? Next time I come, I’ll bring a present.”

“…… I don’t need that.”

“You mean bring your own, right?”

Evan, who understood Eri’s inner feelings, stood blankly thinking about what would suit her.

After standing there for a while, Eri, determined to do something about her, quickly ran and headbutted Evan.

Slap the lips.

─Page.

As I stared at her as if asking what she was doing, her blushing Eri wiped her lips with the back of her hand and glared at Evan.

“Go, take it! My first kiss…….”

“…… Eri.”

“Because it is unfair to only receive from you!”

“No, this isn’t your first kiss. Because you did it with me last time…….”

“Wowaaagh-! What are you talking about!”

Embarrassed to see Evan reveal what happened a while ago, Eri waved her hand and looked around her.

The villagers looked at the two with warm expressions, as if they already knew everything.

Eri, feeling something strange about her, carefully opened her mouth and asked her Evan.

“…… Am I showing off a lot?”

“Extremely.”

“uuu…… !”

Watching Eri’s face turn so red that it’s about to explode, Evan just burst out laughing at her.

All the villagers burst into laughter and congratulated Eri and Evan on their future.

“I am dying. You stupid…… !”

Only Eri hid her heart until the end.

Royal road.

An alchemy workshop prepared for Kanelli, a nationally certified alchemist.

Cannelly, who was working on her alchemy while boiling her pot in it, felt something strange about her and began gently stroking my forearm.

‘What, what is it?’

I looked around to see if a ghost had appeared, but there was no way that a ghost-like ghost could appear anywhere else in the castle.

Isn’t there a barrier that nullifies all kinds of magic, supernatural powers, and sorcery? It is impossible for a mediocre spirit to break through the barrier and enter.

“A misunderstanding…… Is it?”

Shaking off her ominous feelings, Canelli extinguished the fire under the pot and slowly took out a stone from the inside of the pot.

She is making a Philosopher’s Stone. It was an almighty gemstone that was said to grant any wish.

Of course, making a Philosopher’s Stone, which is doubtful whether it can be made by human hands, was a near-impossible task, even for Cannelly.

Probability lower than adding 0 to the age of this universe and multiplying that number by the remaining life span of the universe. Probabilities that are infinitely close to impossible.

It is a miracle to pierce that probability, and an alchemist is to make miracles a daily life.

“Ah…… Fail again…….”

After confirming that the object placed on top of the stone was floating, Canelli let out a sigh when she realized that it was an ordinary stone with no special features other than that.

Putting the result into a glass bottle, Cannelly roughly marked the glass bottle with a number and put it in the subspace.

This is what research was all about. A series of very boring and terrible failures. After Kanelli wrote down her recipe to avoid making the same mistake, she picked it up and took it to her library.

“Buy, buy…… There is?”

“…… Cannelly.”

“Ah, ah- I see.”

“Are you here to play?”

“Ugh, oh, I have a little something to write down today… ….”

A librarian at the Royal Palace Library.

She visited Saya, the witch of her records, and handed her the research journal she had written.

Saya glanced at it with one glance, and in an instant made a copy of her book and handed it to her.

“Come on.”

“Thank you.”

“Is that enough?”

“Ha, if there is nothing to do, talk together… ….”

“Sorry, I’m busy as you can see.”

Saying that, Saya lifted up the book she was reading. Seeing that, Canelli shrank little by little and lowered her head.

“Yes, yes. Yes, bar, it can’t be helped if you’re busy.”

“…… What?”

“Hey, hey! What would you like to do to your lover!?”

Saya sighed and looked at Kanelli and asked, and when she heard that Saya was joining her story, Kanelli immediately asked with her eyes twinkling.

She looked at Kanelli, who brought up a story that had nothing to do with her, and Saya sighed and replied.

“I don’t know.”

“So, is there anything related to that?”

“Find it.”

“Look for tea…… Yes? Chi, are you friends?”

“…… Ha.”

Saya sighed and looked at Canelli. Since when have we been friends? I’d love to say that, but if I said that, I’d slog all day and flood the library.

Loud noise was a bonus.

Finally, she summoned one of her books and handed it over.

“…… Read.”

“Thank you! After all, there is only you…… !”

“Quiet in the library.”

“Ugh, ugh… !”

After a while, Saya regained her silence and concentrated on her book with a satisfied smile. I wasn’t interested in dating or anything like that.

Only the type caught my eye.

‘I should read at least one more letter when I have time to do things like dating…… Lazy.’
