Chapter 132 – Master of Reunion (2)
“Uh, what? Wow, are you married? Marriage?! You said you were getting married now——?!”
Next year, Dr. Cheokcheok (Chief), who will be in his 20s and will be in his 9th place, will become a rabbit in surprise at my marriage coming out and shout.
─Tough!
Grabbed by the shoulder of a girl with purple dog hair shorter than me, I replied as I swayed back and forth.
“Yes, eh, eh, eh. Gyeol, Hon, Did, Seo, Yo.”
“You?! When?! Where?! Get married?! How?! Why?!”
Don’t ask with the fucking five-wh rule. Stop shaking it I’m so fucking dizzy.
“It’s one month!! 1 month!! Not 1 or 2 years, only 1 month! 1 month! 30 days——!!! But it’s not like roasting beans with lightning, but being successful as an adventurer in that short time isn’t enough, so it makes sense that you got married and even matched the rings——?!”
Dana shakes me in a frenzy. But even if I ask if it makes sense, if you shake it like that, I can’t answer because I’m busy spinning like a spring doll hanging in front of a car window.
“No, what. I met you shortly after coming here. She’s an adventurer, and she’s in the same party as me. Her name is Francesca, a half-dwarf. He’s a good person. Nice.”
“I’m going to marry a guy like you, but he must be a good person!!”
Hey hold on I think I got hit in the bone by hitting the franc shield.
“Really… ? I’m really married… ?”
My brain turned into liquid slime due to facts and physical disco pangpang, but when Dana stopped her hand, I regained my senses with difficulty.
“3 years… 30 days? … Under? How many times the difference? … ?”
As I was holding onto my throbbing hair, I heard Dana’s distraught muttering. Should I say that the soul had gone out, or rather, it was as if another soul had entered and fought over the initiative of the body.
Dana, who had been standing there dumbfounded, raised the corners of her eyes in anger as if a dam had burst.
Of course, the target of his anger was me.
“You! If you had a wedding, wouldn’t it be worth sending me a wedding invitation too?! You didn’t send me a letter for a whole month, and you even got married without contacting me?!”
“No, sorry. I was wrong. I haven’t eaten yet.”
“What?”
As if a blue screen had appeared on her brain, Dana asked back in a daze. I thought it was a monitor that was soldered incorrectly at the A/S center.
I spoke as if to soothe Dana, who was unhappy with the world.
“I just prepared a ring last night and gave it as a present and confessed. If I hadn’t received your letter, I was going to register on the family register from today.”
“Yesterday… At night?”
“Uh. It’s been a while since we started dating. Still, I’m right in heart, so I’m going to marry properly and live together… No, why are you even talking about this?”
As I explained, I regained her cool, and suddenly I was fucking embarrassed. Dana looked at me with her mouth wide open, then she slowly backed away from her.
“Yes… Yes. Yes, that’s right.”
Dana, her ass on the table, lowered her head and brushed her hands as if she was weary. ─Swipe. She gestured like a limp dog tail.
“Okay. You can stop talking Talk… I’ll listen to it next time I’m drinking. She is with that wife.”
“Uh, uh… Dana, are you okay?”
It’s almost as if I’m seeing Dana, who’s downcast like that, for the first time. A thousand thoughts rushed through my head at the sight of Dana lowering her head.
So I just threw out a nonchalant question that didn’t make any sense at all. Dana murmured without answering.
“Yes. Say it’s okay I’m just a little surprised So wait… Leave me alone.”
It was almost like a banquet order. I noticed that it wouldn’t help me if I stayed here.
“… Yes. If you don’t come by this week, I’ll come see you.”
Having said that, he left the office.
In Sargadis, the harvest season was coming to an end, the wind was bitterly cold.
***
When he returns to the inn, he finds Tircy and Franc studying at a table on the first floor.
“Ah. Nord. You are here.”
“Uh? Ah, welcome!”
Tirthy noticed that I returned before Fran, who was concentrating on the book, said.
At that, Fran also groaned as she grabbed the book, and when she saw me, she waved her hand. Then she tightened her expression.
“… What happened?”
“Yes… I think the talk will be a bit long.”
It seems that there was a lot of tea in my expression. Tirshi looked at us alternately and asked me.
“Shall I leave your seat?”
“You may stay with me. It’s because Tirshi needs to hear it until the middle. Franc? What is Laliluru?”
“He hasn’t come yet. Would you like to wait for me to come?”
“No. You can say it again later.”
I sat down on a chair. Tirshi was contemplating whether or not to get up, but she seemed to have chosen to stay.
─Juseomjuseom.
Fran looked at me after arranging the magic books on the table.
“Can you hear me now? What’s going on?”
“Well, this morning I received a letter addressed to me from a place called the Archaeological Institute–“
As I was putting things together, I started talking.
—Received a letter from the Archaeological Institute this morning.
──It was a story related to the traces and ruins of the black magician, so I went there in a hurry.
─There, I met a friend of the opposite sex whom I worked with in college.
—She said she wanted to hire our party as an escort to explore the ruins.
-I was about to come back after a friendly conversation or consultation, but when I told her that I was married, she was greatly shocked.
I conveyed such a story without personal feelings as much as possible.
“Yeah, that’s right.”
Tircy listened well until the middle, and as the story progressed, she became a face that seemed to have remained for nothing and looked at her Fran.
Even Tyrsi, who is used to polygamy, knows it. The weight of a woman who actually became a wife for the first time accepting the ‘second’.
A third or fourth would be better.
The first time is difficult, but the next permission is no different from the ‘first’.
And it would be convenient if the top and bottom were divided in a superior and precise manner in the marital relationship, whether the man was the top or the woman was the top.
Edlin and other aristocratic men are in an overwhelming position of ‘A’ in a marital relationship.
It would be difficult for husbands and wives who were ‘B’ to reject their new family or think badly of their partner. Because the lower one follows the upper one.
‘But what about us?’
Fran and I have an equal relationship.
Wasn’t that just after the proposal last night and the talk of getting married?
On the day of his confession, he mixes up his body and goes to see another woman while his wife faints?
Doesn’t that seem like she wants to be normal friends with her husband, having known her for a long time, having met her long before her wife?
No matter how much it is in the world where ‘you can have multiple wives or husbands’, this was a bit——no, it was a very NG situation.
“Doesn’t that sound like a reaction when a close friend tries to get married silently?”
Fran, who listened to the story with the same expression as usual, said that. The tone of her voice is also flat.
“Uh, yes.”
Still, I stiffened like a guilty criminal passing in front of a police station.
“Yes.”
Frank thought quietly.
A few minutes that flow as slowly as if a second were an hour!
Fran said, breaking the silence.
“Mr. Tyrsi. I’m really sorry. Could you wait here for 30 minutes? If you get hungry, I’ll pay for it, so you can eat.”
“Yes, four.”
In response to Fran’s words, Tircy responded very nervously. My wife, who put her on standby with a few words of her own, next spoke to me.
“Nor? Let’s go up together for a while.”
“Yeah, yes.”
Are you thinking of strangling me in the room? I can tolerate it until 5 seconds before I die. Because if I really died, I would hang myself next to Frando.
─Kiik.
The creaking of the stairs that sounds especially gloomy these days! I really felt like I was being dragged to the scaffold, and I followed Fran.
─Suddenly.
After following her into her room, Frank locked the door. My tension rises beyond the limit. Fran stood at the door and slowly turned to me.
“I think it would be a bit harsh to ask what Nord wants to do.”
Fran’s cute face showed no anger or sadness.
Not knowing how to interpret it, I at least tried not to avert my gaze. Frank took my hand and sat me down on the bed.
“Yes, Nor. Do you know why I fell for Nor?”
“… No. Sorry. I do not know.”
I hadn’t even thought about it.
No, did he consciously avoid it? If the reason Fran liked me was based on a fantasy that was far from the real me, the day I couldn’t follow it would be the day our relationship would fall apart.
“Fool. Why are you nervous I am not angry.”
Fran gently hugged me as my lips dried up. Fran’s body temperature is higher than normal. It’s always warm when you hold me in your arms.
“Am I? There was no such thing as a dream until I met Nord.”
In her arms, Fran hugged my head to her chest and stroked it.
“I forgot all the things I had while living with her mother when I was young, and lived only looking at today. I felt like I was wandering in the woods thinking about the future, but not knowing where to go.”
“… Isn’t that what you said at the Bainha family’s inn that day?”
“Yes. That’s why I’m curious about Nord. Right? They say there is no reason why people fall in love with people, but there are reasons why people are interested in you.”
Are you curious? Frank laughed, knowing that I was questioning him.
“The Norr I saw always behaves without hesitation, and while doing so, she made the people around her follow her. I found it strange, envious, and cool.”
My conscience was slightly pricked by the completely unsuspecting Fran. It was something I had no idea about.
“It’s just a coincidence. I guess it just happened that way. I can’t be that good-looking.”
“Nor. Coincidence doesn’t happen again and again like that.”
Fran succinctly denied my self-torture.
“It was Norr who took the proper measures in the sewer we first met, and even while guarding the ruins, Norr acted as a leader without realizing it.”
Then he started to tell me stories about when he was with me, and about the stories I told him in bed that day.
“When I went to catch the thieves with Mr. Tyrsi, when I took Ralilura and me to dig up the circus troupe’s evil deeds, when the black magician countermeasures coalition, and when I actually fought against the black magic.”
Fran started to list the things I had done in Sargadis, both with and without him.
Listening to it like that, it seems that I played an important role in the center of those events, and led the flow, whether intentionally or not.
Although it can be said that it is a point of view covered with bean pods.
“Actually, hehe. I thought about keeping this hidden for the rest of my life.”
Frank, who was seriously considering my actions, suddenly laughed as if he was holding back his laughter.
“Is there really? I never dreamed that I would fall for Nord until he came to the inn I was staying at. But Norr should have spoken so well. It felt like it was whispered in my ear why I was wandering endlessly far from his hometown.”
Fran said softly, as if singing a lullaby. She was like a girl confessing a mistake she was ashamed of.
“Do you know how I felt then? He left his footprint in my heart, which was really playing casually.”
“… Having said that, I think I did something very bad.”
“It is bad. Up until then, it was obviously bad. She slipped her hand into someone else’s chest and snatched away her first love, which she had never given to anyone. I really don’t know who the rogue is. Because it didn’t work.”
“Uh, that… Sorry.”
“Whoops. Why do you apologize I have never regretted falling for Nord for a single moment.”
After releasing me from her breasts, Fran kissed her on my cheek. It was a kiss full of love.
“Since I started loving Nord, there has never been a day when Norr was less good than yesterday. She was really happy when she felt Norr beside me trying to fit me in.
──Is that so? I think the best thing about Nord is that she always lives with her goals.”
Is it a goal Fran put her forehead on mine. We looked into the eyes of our loved ones with nowhere to look.
“A person with a firm purpose attracts people who live only today like a buoy on the sea. Norr, who made me fall in love every day, was that kind of person.
Wherever Nord is and whoever he is with, he finds a place to be. So, I’m sure Norr will continue to be a person who helps people who are lost and wandering.
Of course, I’ll stop when Norr acts like an idiot and overdoes it, but if my presence becomes Norr’s anchor… I will be really sad
So it’s okay
No matter how many people fall in love with Norr, I know better than anyone else how Norr likes me.”
Frank squeezed my hand. Our right hand touched the mithril ring worn on the other’s left hand. That was the oath of love we shared last night.
“That’s right, they say that love is when the person who falls in love first loses. What if ‘Nor I like’ is cooler than ‘Nor who likes me’? I guess I was destined to fail Norr from the start.”
Fran smiled as if embarrassing. Our dark hair blended indistinguishably.
“Nor is my favorite Norr, stay with me. I’ll follow Nord from the side so he doesn’t have to look back, so guide me whenever I stop. That’s all I need.”
I burned the guilt that sat heavily in my heart with a flame. The mental burden that had weighed me down turned into burning warmth and circulated around my body.
“I promise, Fran.”
With that warmth, I swore.
“I will always be the me you love.”
“Then show me. Nor, the end of your dream.”
She took it without losing a moment, and Chin Franc smiled as she did when she let go of her words as she came out from under the moonlit night.
“It’s okay to hesitate. You can rest if you are tired. You can give up or fight to the end, it doesn’t matter.
Just when Nord thinks he’s done with this, all he has to do is give me a tight hug next to me. If you do that, I will be able to follow you forever.”
“Haha. You already answered that.”
The first time I told Fran about my past, I had already answered the same request in the bathhouse. They put their foreheads together and squeezed her franc hand.
“Of course I will. It’s too late to regret it Fran, you can’t run away even if you die until you hate me?”
“Whoops. Then I will live forever?”
It is. I ate one of these.
“This. Why was my wife so talkative?”
“It’s fun~ Up until now, you’ve been quiet enough to match Nor~.”
“Oh my gosh. I didn’t know that.”
Fran laughed happily when I shook my head, saying that I couldn’t get it.
“My answer is, ‘It’s okay if it’s the person Norr brought’, so as a thief who stole someone else’s heart, we Norr must take responsibility! Got it?”
Don’t know I hugged the franc and said my sincere thanks.
“I will. Thank you always, I love you franc.”
As expected, the luckiest thing in my life was meeting Fran.
I realized it when I saw Fran smiling affectionately in my arms. It’s been a lot, but I’m still on the lucky side.
That’s how I, Nord, held a new promise in my heart.
To my first wife whom I met in another world——to show the end of the road I had taken.
To make the ending a happy ending.
That would be the best reward I could give to Fran, who had conceded so much for me.
Fran number 1🥰🥰❤️❤️
