Chapter 921 – Portrait of a Young Ruler (4)
“… I thought you would notice. But no one asked.”
“I notice. I’m not a stranger, and I’m not a fool. I know, but I just didn’t say it.”
I let the sigh that was trying to escape from the unexpected answer flow down my throat like drinking water.
Said the goddess Satis. The protective device called the ‘membrane’ that protects the dimensions and intermediate branches of the World Tree blocks the coming and going of powerful beings such as gods and old rulers.
Even if there is a medium like the branch of the World Tree, and even if it is the same dimension of the World Tree as Niflheim and 【Middle Branch】, it is not easy to travel back and forth between the two worlds.
It was the same when he went back and forth between life and death at the ruins of Huldfolk, and when he overheard the conversation between Odin and a certain water giant.
Because even they, who are divine beings, described crossing dimensions as hard work.
It was said that it was like that even in the age of gods when there were so many gods to follow up on, but what about now?
“It’s no wonder that Nords are called gods now. His strength, mana, powers, origin, blessings and protection. I can’t imagine that they wouldn’t damage the Earth’s membrane.”
“Yes. You won’t be able to go back. Threats such as the ‘lord of the deep sea’ remain, and if I set up my own way, it will affect the surviving gods.”
What an obvious question and obvious answer.
If the gods and the old rulers can’t pass, then what about me who slayed them too?
‘There’s no way I can pass.’
Indeed, the ‘Lord of the Deep’ will dig a hole wide enough to rummage with delight. That bastard would be happy if I just came looking for him.
I lightly affirmed and added additional explanations.
“What is the big deal? I knew there was no guarantee that I would return 100% anyway. At least you can’t use your hands or feet at all, can you?”
My curiosity became clear, and I figured out a way.
The only downside is that it will be difficult for me to go back on my own.
Even if I survive and participate in the battle at the end of Ragnarok 200 to 300 years later, the earth I can go to after that will not be the place I know.
My parents and friends would have passed away soon after.
“You can still send a letter, though. If you send it several times over and over again, your mother and father will know that what you are seeing is not an illusion or someone’s joke.”
Isn’t that one of the ways you’ve been thinking about for a long time?
I know roughly the formula for space/dimension movement. As long as there is control and cooperation from those gods. And if Loki, who survives and repairs the inside of the [Middle branch] Wrapping paper, is added, the job is easy.
My parents might have to wait another 10 years, but I should have been able to contact them before they passed away.
“But… But, that’s all.”
Like this, I was convinced and was already thinking about what to do next, but Tirshi twisted his eyes as if he was experiencing more tragedy.
“Yes?”
“Returning home was the dream and goal of the Nords. Knowing that you can never go back to what you did, you have to live in this world whether you like it or not.”
Yes, but what does that mean?
‘Tirshi and the other wives must be by my side.’
I couldn’t put on a calm expression, wondering if it was because of my very different point of view, or if there was something I didn’t quite understand. Then Tirshi covered her eyes and said.
“Even so, I tried to become a lord. We all must have thought the same thing. So that Nord, who can’t return home, can live while appeasing his longing, at least in this world.”
“… I hadn’t even thought about it until then.”
She was going to put Loki to sleep sooner or later, but it seems that her wives have already thought deeply and come to a conclusion that is not their own.
Of course, they probably haven’t discussed it without me yet.
It just seemed like everyone noticed naturally, and realized that each other noticed.
Even if it was Rari Lulu, she might have thought of something like an amusement park plan with that thought.
“… I know this far. But wasn’t everyone waiting for the time to discuss it together? The other families I’ve seen often these past few days don’t seem to be worried as much as Tirsi.”
Can I miss my wives’ troubles or sense of incongruity?
‘It’s not as much as Tirsi, but Nefertiti, who seemed to be worried about her own affairs, noticed her discomfort right away.’
No, more than that, Tirsi was fine until I proposed.
That is, the moment I proposed to marry him.
Any thoughts that came to my mind at that time. It meant that it made Tyrsi’s complexion and hair turn white, and made her avoid her seat for a while to finish.
“When I heard about getting married, I was really happy. I have never been so happy in my life. To the extent that I just nodded my head without thinking and wanted to receive your kiss.”
Tyrsi bowed down like a penitent sinner.
“But… I thought about it. How much my grandfather and father were resentful of others. That they were only kind to their own people.”
She confessed to me as she fumbled over her drink.
“So, I was scared. While I’m trying to protect my hometown, I might incur someone’s resentment. It doesn’t matter if it’s just that, but the criticism and anger will reach the Nords and other families.”
I couldn’t say anything about it.
In fact, it must have been the gaze that Tyrsi experienced.
“It is as Nord said. The reason I can’t leave my hometown behind is because that’s the period I have to mark in the past. Not as a sense of duty, but as a period so that I myself would not be ashamed to be by your side.”
She put the glass in her hand, as if she didn’t want to ask for her drink anymore.
“But I don’t want to make you resent or criticize me for my mistakes, my faults, and my past. It’s outrageous for everyone to be stoned because of me.”
“… Is that why you asked for time to think?”
“Yeah. As soon as Nord, who was unable to return home, thought about what would happen if she stopped studying in this world, she became afraid of even the ring she had always wanted to receive.”
As I waited, watching how she was about to finish her words, she put her hand on her own chest and smiled.
“Marriage is… I also really hope for it, but when I think about it, I want to avoid it. Because Nord and other people are precious to me. Much, much, much more than my desire to be loved by you.”
“… Then what are you going to do?”
A subdued voice came out. Tyrsi hesitated for a moment, then lowered her head.
“I’m not just getting married, it’s no different from now. I just don’t want you to publicize the fact that I’m your woman. As long as there is evidence that cannot be avoided, I will block the accusations.”
She spoke up and grabbed my hand.
“I’m really sorry for avoiding the seat as if running away. But now I’ve made up my mind. I’ll always be by your side, so if Nord would listen to my request–“
“I don’t like it.”
I made a bold statement. Tyrsi was dazed for a moment.
Damn, I don’t know what you’re getting confused about. Our wizard said, ‘Oh, that’s right. Then, don’t just get married, let’s live together in a common-law marriage’?
If you can’t date how much you can’t do that kind of calculation.
I’ve noticed since the date plans went awry, but really, this lady is terrible at dating. I grabbed her arm and stood up.
“Because until Tirsi noticed my sign and came here, she was all over the mood, right? Because she was sad and depressed in the first place, not angry.”
“Hey, wait a minute? Nord, oh, it hurts!”
“Yeah. Tircy should also take a look at the pain. How could she drive a nail into her husband’s chest so gently and gently?”
West is angry It’s been a really long time. I’m so angry I’ve never been so passionate about my girl. It was so disgusting that I wanted to lay her down and spank her butt for about an hour.
I believe that you can understand the level of her anger to the extent that I think of stabbing her hands against her wives.
“Sleep, huh? Swimming? Nord? Nord? I-you understand what I mean, right?”
“Yes, yes. I understand everything. Didn’t that mean that the timid side of our mage, who had been peeing and running away from insect monsters because of her childhood trauma, came out?”
“Yeah? B, yes?!”
“I won’t say much about Tyrsi’s desire to revitalize her hometown, which has been devastated. When I said I wanted to go home, I wasn’t told not to go. Only.”
I hugged her violently and snatched her lips.
I let go of her hardened her, craving her tongue to suffocate her, to suffocate her.
“Only. There are things that I can’t understand even the slightest bit and even get angry.”
“Yeah? Yes? Uh, where are you going… ?”
“Where are you? Are you asking because you don’t know? What? Don’t you want to be criticized?”
To be precise, the future of being fed up with this world would be frightening. The guy whose first goal in life was going back to his hometown has given up on his dream, but in that state, it is possible.
This foolish young lady must have thought so, as her head was spinning well for no reason. If that’s the case, it’s better to give up the desire to get married.
“Tirshi. Tirshi Armashnas.”
Aww… ! I grabbed her forearm.
“Do you think I, the man you love, will be hurt by those few curse words?”
“Ah… “
“Do you think you will harbor resentment for the world that gave you birth? Worries are also oily. You mean they influence my mood to the extent of swearing at me?”
Tirsi, speechless, opened her mouth. I’m sorry. I don’t know what to say, but it’s not a realization expression, so I’m going to say a hundred nonsense.
“Ouch… ?!”
So I just closed it. No matter how angry she is, I can’t hit the girl I love with her lips. Tirshi, forcibly swallowing what she was about to say, twisted her body.
“Pha… ?! Coke, Coke… !”
“Is the gossip and anger of people you don’t even know who you are more scary than the gods trying to kill you? Aha, it could be. It’s going to be annoying because you won’t be able to hit him for any reprehensible reason.”
I looked into her flustered eyes. Her bewildered eyes trembled in bewilderment.
“But, Tyrsi. Do you think that would be more heartbreaking than seeing Tirsi say things like ‘I want to decline marriage’?”
“That, huh? Yeah?”
“Tirshi is misunderstood. It’s not just for you that I proposed. It’s not like the proud Nord gave permission to Tirsi to be her wife.”
I want to get married, but I’m more afraid of other cases, so I’ll decline?
It’s bullshit It’s something I can’t say to Tirsi, but no matter how much I think about it, it’s bullshit.
“It’s not just Tirsi who wants to get married. I also want to be a couple with you, but why do you reject it by yourself, weighing the gains and losses of your own accord? It would be more understandable if I refused because I didn’t want to.”
“Uh… Uh?”
It’s a face that says I’ve never thought of it like that. I let go of the forearm in her hand and instead put my finger in the secret place between her crotch.
“Yeah?! No, Nord! What, what are you going to do!”
Ask because you don’t know I said half-opening my eyes.
“I’m going to ask the lower mouth instead of the stupid upper mouth.”
“Mmm, stupid… ?! Hey drug?!”
─Soft and soft. Her lovely clitoris was held in her hand as if she had been waiting for it.
