Chapter Expedition 280 – A Peaceful Date With Annie
The next morning.
I went to see her sister Annie for the first time in a long time. It looks like they are doing a good job.
If it were me, I would burst into laughter with joy.
Even though my sister was doing business, her face wasn’t very bright.
Is Sanarae causing trouble these days?
‘He’s still a kid?’
When all the guests were leaving, I went and said hello.
Sister Annie’s face immediately brightened. This is fortunate.
“Rash, you came?!”
“You’re busy these days, sister.”
“No. “Because I am doing business just to prevent people from starving.”
“Hmm, it looks like business is going very well in my eyes. “A surprise proposal or something like before?”
Annie laughed at my question and shook her head.
“Sometimes it happens, but I say I’m a married woman. Of course, there were still people who attacked.”
“Wow, really?”
“Hey, don’t worry!”
Suddenly, the brightness on her face disappeared.
What. Is it creepy?
“In those cases, I take care of it in my own way. Hehe.”
“… “Don’t kill me.”
“I won’t kill you. It will only make you a vegetable.”
“… How is Sanarae doing these days?”
Annie’s face brightened when asked about her life.
Our daughter is the fruit and trace of our love.
Because my daughter is cuter than anyone else.
“Hehe, Sanarae, you’re still a baby. Still, she seems to be a bit bigger than before. “It’s also heavy.”
“Okay? “Who takes care of you these days?”
“When I work, Dinora is there.”
“Anyway, Dinora… “I’m an expert.”
An exclamation came out again. Dinora Maman is doing it all.
You may be a parenting expert by now.
Then Annie slowly approached me. She seemed a little different from usual. Should I say she is overly timid?
“However… “What brought you here?”
“I wanted to see my sister after a long time. “I have some worries these days.”
“Then do you want to go on a date?”
“Date? It’s good. However…”
It’s been a long time since we last met.
Just a normal date?
It doesn’t seem to have much merit.
But I thought I should have a normal date with a build-up concept.
“Then I’ll finish early today.”
“It doesn’t matter.”
“No, hehe.”
Annie smiles and closes the store. She left her store with her.
A pleasant wind.
Petals fluttering in the wind.
Until the sunny blue sky.
It was good weather to go out with someone you like.
As if someone had created it just right.
“Let’s take a walk around town after a long time.”
“Ugh, anything I do with Lashu is fine. Hehe.”
First, I held Annie’s hand. She blushed for a moment, then squeezed my hand.
We spent time together like that.
As I took a walk around Gale Wars, things were changing a lot faster than I thought.
The place where the merchants stayed turned into a fortress.
Above all, the number of guild buildings was increasing one by one.
Moreover, unlike our generation, the generations following us were numerous.
This meant that there were more young people who wanted to become warriors.
‘Are you at least impressed by me?’
Just like new Argentine soccer players who kick the ball while looking at the mesh.
Is the younger generation also growing up like that? My heart feels grand for no reason.
How excited would I be if someone had my back and told me to pursue my dream?
Your heart will become magnificent.
“Rash…”
“Huh?”
“I do that.”
Annie pointed somewhere. She was a stand with a strong smell of chicken skewers.
Looks like you want to eat that.
We laughed and went together. I bought you chicken skewers. The skewers themselves were plentiful.
Chicken skewer breast, green onion, leg meat and mushrooms. I put it on a skewer in this order and coated it with seasoning, and it was super delicious.
“It’s delicious!”
“Yes, I think it’s delicious because Lashu bought it for me too.”
“What you’re saying is strange. Giggling.”
“Is it? “I just love being with Lashu.”
It seemed like the person had gone from a yandere to a true love.
Well, that’s how it is.
They say there is a huge difference between Soonae and Yandere.
‘As if there is a difference between a hero and a villain.’
Without realizing it, my hand that held Annie’s hand gained strength.
She felt it even after her fight with her universe.
I wondered how hard it must have been and how hard I had to push myself.
In fact, all of us humans live like that.
Either receiving expectations from those around me or meeting my own expectations.
But reality is cruel.
You may think that you will be good at whatever you do, but the reality is that you may not make as much money as a daughter running down the street.
Or maybe I’ll be frustrated with the fact that I’m not as good as I thought.
Nevertheless, I wanted to believe in Annie.
Now she was talking to me and smiling.
As if this time was so enjoyable.
“Sister.”
“Huh? Wow… !”
We kissed. She stroked the back of her head and caught her breath.
She stuck out her tongue and gently placed it on her lower lip.
Then, as Annie’s breathing became harsh, she gradually regained her balance and touched my tongue with the tip of her tongue.
Near the fountain in the central square, we had a secret affair without making a sound.
Even though it was just a kiss.
This was enough.
“Lol… Rash, you idiot.”
“Tch, why?”
“No, hehe.”
I could see how much she had changed and how hard she worked.
In the past, I would have rushed to have sex all day and have dozens of children.
After giving birth to Sanarae, she seemed to have become more mature.
I also wanted to give her gift. Precious memories.
“Sister, is there anything you want to try?”
“Oh right. Let’s go see Liza.”
“Eh? Suddenly?”
“Hurry! “I wanted to try it, Liza, and I asked her sister!”
She leads me with a bright smile.
And I was able to roughly know the inside story.
She wanted to do business somewhere other than Gale Wars.
As part of this, it seemed like she was going to get some help from Liza and work as a babysitter for a day.
“I will help you.”
“Eww… Really? “It must be difficult, right?”
“I’m a warrior, have you forgotten? Let’s do it in the capital now. “I have to play in the big water!”
I took her with me and went straight to her capital. The dawn was light today.
When she arrived in the capital, he helped her with her work.
“Now, choose, choose!”
I also saw a sly side of Annie that I had never seen before.
There was even a veteran-like aspect of raising the price by adding one more item to a customer who tried to bargain too much.
It was nice to see sides of her that I didn’t know about.
The work itself was arduous and difficult.
There were also territorial merchants around.
Nevertheless, this is the first time I have seen Annie shine so purely.
It was difficult as the weather got hotter.
It was made refreshing using holy relics.
“Whew, Lashu always helps me? “I’m embarrassed.”
“If I hadn’t had precious women like my sister, I wouldn’t have been a human being.”
“Me… “I have a dream.”
“Dream?”
Now that I think about it, what was Annie’s dream?
I’ve never heard of it or talked to it.
“Yes, I really, really want to have my own store.”
The store she is in now was owned by a wealthy man who almost bought her.
I shrugged my shoulders. Submission completed.
“Then do you want to come to Weaverpool?”
“To your territory? There’s no room there.”
“There’s still some. But if my sister hesitates a little, there might not be a seat for me?”
He led the conversation skillfully. Annie looked at me as if she was surprised and then smiled.
“Good. Then let’s do it there!”
“Are you going to open a general store? “I will provide support for products and stores.”
“Hey, I’m sorry I feel like I’m being too helpful. That’s enough.”
I shook my head resolutely. Actually, it wasn’t supported because it was an animation. Because it is part of our territory project.
“No, as the lord, I am helping small business owners with support measures.”
“Huh, is there such a thing? “The emperor didn’t come up with any of these policies.”
“… Well, you have to hope for what you want.”
I and she both nodded their heads. The emperor is not a smart guy.
No.
What is he good at?
“Anyway, it’s okay, so you can take it.”
“Hey… Thank you!”
As the sun slowly sets. We finished our job as a laborer.
We sold more than expected. Annie smiled, holding a large bag of money in both hands.
It looked like he had worked hard, and there were sweat marks here and there.
Nevertheless, she was shining.
I took her to her weaver pool.
“Now, look.”
She showed her place in the line.
“There is a hot spring café nearby, so it will be good for business. How do you feel?”
“… Thank you. “I want to focus especially on potions while running a general store.”
“Portion? I’ll tell Renata about that. Renata will help you.”
“Really… Thank you.”
She lowered her head and cried.
Her slender shoulders were shaking violently.
I just hugged her. Her breath and warmth reached me.
Gave me a good seat. Because it’s the sun street.
It would be better than anyone else to start over here.
“Sister. Work hard and help our territory. That’s enough.”
“Yes, I will work hard! We will raise Sanarae well too!”
I smiled at Annie’s reassuring answer. She also smiled.
Then she started to faint.
“Business is so good that you’re opening a second store, aren’t you?”
It’s the 2nd branch. It’s about drinking kimchi soup, but an idea came to mind.
“So, the second branch… Would you like to place it near our goddess’ temple?”
“Oh, is that okay?”
“Yes, once the project to publicize the Goddess is completed, we will gather some people and create a village. “Maybe it’s possible.”
It was in the realm of possibility, but it was almost a certainty. Because faith is thicker and scarier than you think.
“Ha… I don’t think I’ve ever felt this good. “My life has always been dissatisfied and not suited for peace.”
She stood with her back to the setting sun. The fading sunset became her halo.
Annie smiles brightly and continues speaking.
“However… I’m confident now. I am confident in everything I do!”
“My sister works hard and shows her shining side, so everyone follows. So she thinks she’s a cool girl.”
“Rash is really cool too. Thank you, really!”
“Haha, what.”
So the sky fell. Embracing the setting sun, she looked at me intently.
For today, Annie was the prettiest.
It shined the brightest. She really was a damn attractive woman.
