Chapter 93 – Clean Up – 4
Everyone has a dream and a wish.
Isabelle remembered her wish.
Since I was born with magical powers, there are two choices.
Will you become the ruler of the village or an adventurer?
As an exception, to enter as a vassal under an aristocratic family that rules the land or a noble family without land, if the talent born with it is good.
Other than that, most walk a similar life.
One is to become the ruler of the village you were born in.
If it were an ordinary village rather than a city, it would be different depending on talent, but in fact, he became the implicit ruler of the village. Even if there is a village chief, you have to keep an eye on him. The village girls shudder to get the seeds, and the other men around them can’t resist him.
What if it’s a woman?
If you’re in an ignorant place, you’ll do anything to give birth to a child, and if you’re in a better place, you’ll be able to seize power by paying attention like a man.
Unfortunately, Isabelle was in an ignorant place, and even though she knew that she was great, she did not realize it, or was imprisoned by people who looked at her as a woman, and almost became a mother giving birth to a child.
There were no parents, and they were confined as they were.
He almost got stuck. Like this, he fell into despair whether he should live locked up forever. If he knew how to use his power, he could have escaped if he was a little bigger, but the young Isabelle, who had not even had menarche, screamed in fear at the sight of the village chief trying to attack her.
Had it not been for the help of an adventurer passing by. He really was about to get beaten.
Although he is a teacher, he immediately broke up with the adventurer saying that he had to wander. However, in less than a year, the knowledge her teacher taught her became flesh and blood, and she became an adventurer as well.
Wandering the continent, exploring the unknown. Day by day, she builds a reputation and makes her name known to the extent that she is even scouted by other nobles as a magical power holder from a commoner.
Receiving and solving requests, wandering around various cities, and sometimes helping people. The reality was not as easy as Isabelle’s dream, but she was confident that she had worked hard as an adventurer, just like her mentor in her childhood.
Every time she runs into her master with her sometimes overlapping areas of activity, Isabelle proudly stretches her chest and says that the little boy she saved then has grown so big. Saying that, her master gently stroked her hair. She was glad that it was her, so she worked even harder.
She continued to act as an adventurer, and a year passed, a year passed, and the years passed. One day she became a famous adventurer even among adventurers.
“Oh, Isabelle. Was she still doing the adventurer?”
“S, Master?”
The day she reunited with her teacher, who was wearing her baggy clothes and holding her little child’s hand in one of her hands, holding her child who still looked like a baby in her arms.
Master, who once seduced other male adventurers with her flirtatious appearance and large breasts, and received jealous glances from women, now completely took on the appearance of an ajumma.
“Uh, when did you get married?”
“Oh. Didn’t you know Oh right. Did she go to another province then? I wish I had come to the wedding.”
“…”
The cold, sober person I’ve seen before. Where did the woman who was like a leopard go? She was a bunch of men who seduced and played with many men.
Isabel went crazy at the sight of her teacher laughing like that, completely in the form of her auntie.
“Greetings. Her mother’s second child.”
“Me~?”
“Papa.”
A child with her head raised, clinging to her master’s leg, and a baby waving her hand and burying her face in the master’s chest.
I met many people because of my work, but being an adventurer is a tough job. As a result, Isabelle, who had no relationship with young children, trembled.
“Disciple…”
“Ugh, ugh.”
The innocent eyes of a pudgy child stare intently at Isabelle.
She felt pressured by that gaze. The unfamiliar sight of her little creature reminded her of her childhood. Isabel took a step back involuntarily when she heard her master’s voice.
“Marriage is good.”
“I never thought Master would say something like that… He kept thinking she was free to live.”
“I must have been a woman too.”
The way she said that and stroked her child’s head was full of maternal love.
Oh my gosh. That teacher is my mother. She seems to fall asleep. Her mind wandered.
Looking at Isabelle like that, her teacher looked at her with warm eyes.
She is the one who knows more about her Isabelle’s past than anyone else. It’s good that she works while admiring herself, but she wants her to know the joy she can get from a family relationship like this. Therefore.
“By the way, Isabelle. How old are you?”
“… Yeah?”
At the sudden words, Isabelle involuntarily looked at her master.
With her eyes shining, Master approached.
“Isabel should get married soon. Do you have a boyfriend?”
“Yeah? Hey, Master?”
She blinked her eyes at Master’s sudden words.
The teacher, whose appearance has grown one level higher than before, took a step forward. Is it an illusion? Thud! The sound of the ground shaking rang in Isabelle’s ears.
She was more frightened than before. Involuntarily stretched back steps. At that moment, the master approached and grabbed her arm.
Aww!
The muscles trained by her housekeeping gripped Isabelle’s arm.
No, this guy Are you really retired?
The muscles that make up the arm thicker than before. This… Real muscle?
“No, before you. Did you ever have a boyfriend?”
“What are you talking about all of a sudden? Why is that story out there… !”
“I’ve always said it was strange whenever we met, but why don’t you meet a guy? It’s not like you don’t like men, do you?”
“Me, Master? It’s not that I don’t particularly like men…”
“That’s great! I know a real young man, would you like me to introduce you?”
“No, over there! Master! Wait, wait!”
I’m glad you’re doing well.
Her appearance, which had become tough in a different way from when she was an adventurer, was still unfamiliar to her.
* * *
Was it after that time?
There is a sudden increase in interest in men and dating, including marriage.
The body is still in its prime.
The body in its heyday is still strong and responds immediately when it wants to. The mana boiling within the body is also freely moving.
I can still fully act as an active adventurer. Judged objectively.
But every time that happened, Master’s image came to mind.
While stroking the child’s head, she talked behind her husband’s back, and said that she was exhausted by the children’s troubles, and that she was having a hard time, laughing. The warm eyes she looked at those children and her husband tickled her heart. Once again, her image of Master became a new dream.
So she retired.
That’s why I became the guild leader of the adventurer’s guild.
“… So it worked, but there is no relationship!”
Maybe it’s because I was so rough during my active duty? The same male adventurer companions always look at their companions, and the general public naturally does not look at them in a good way. Of course, it’s not like there aren’t any adventurers and ordinary couples, so I’ve been around quite a bit…
“Only the old men get involved!”
That’s because he’s one of the influential people in the city. I understand that. So, I am working diligently.
– Quaang!
“What? Old maid?”
The man I met several times because of Youngji’s work. Did he say Zeke? The man’s words came to mind. How dare you say an old virgin in front of me?
Nosan? Isn’t he an easy delivery brother?
– Pudeuk.
“You are still young! You don’t have a single wrinkle, and your skin is still plump, isn’t it?!”
“… Ah yes.”
The guild clerk who was helping Isabelle smiled bitterly.
When it comes to being really young, it’s on the young side, but considering the time when commoners and high-ranking people got married, it was true that they were older.
Still, it’s not something you can’t do if you want to get married.
The guild leader of the adventurer’s guild. He himself is a renowned adventurer, possessing knight-class magical powers. He would have no problem marrying into a knight family somewhere.
Still, there are two reasons why I haven’t been able to get married so far.
One has a high eye for men, and the other one…
“Here is the report.”
“Ah, thank you. Then I’ll hand it over to Leoric-sama tomorrow, so you guys can get off work.”
“Yeah! Well then, good work, guild leader!”
The clerks exchanged glances as Isabelle looked over her report for the last time.
The expression on his face instantly crossed his face when he said that he would submit directly.
‘I guess the rumors are true.’
Guild clerks whispered to each other and laughed.
Rumors spread around the neighborhood, including the guild, not too long ago.
Isabelle pretends not to be popular, but her looks and magic. They are both famous talents. Her adventurer origins made her so successful that many coveted her. It’s just that she rejected everything because her eyes were high.
But recently, even that has been cut off.
One reason. It was because of the rumor that Leoric Franz, the second son of the Franz family, had a hand in it.
From the office workers’ perspective, it seems that they haven’t gone all the way, but they have no way to know about it, and even if they know about it, touching someone who has gone that far is tantamount to committing suicide.
Isabelle, who is still worried about her age, was taken aback by the sudden interruption of marriage one day. Is she really because she’s old? Just as her Isabelle’s stress was increasing to Mach, she received a call from Leoric Franz asking to see her.
In an instant, her stress was relieved and a coy smile appeared on her lips.
“Kuhm.”
Realizing that her mouth was loose, Isabelle cleared her throat as she put the report together and packed her things.
Now, go to the castle tomorrow and submit your report. An encounter with Leoric-sama, who is not far away. It wasn’t that she didn’t want to follow, but she couldn’t let go of the position of guild leader.
She thought it was a pity.
Isabelle arrives at her house.
“… ?”
I feel a strange presence.
Isabelle’s senses change sharply. As if her gears were shifting, the magic within her body was ignited and her body strengthened.
She scans her own mansion with her pupils that emit a faint blue light.
“…”
There are no signs of trespassing.
There is someone inside
-Kiik.
Isabelle moved her steps slowly.
She takes out her favorite dagger from her bosom and kills her presence. She slowly moves her steps into her room.
“Oh, are you here?”
“… To?”
I blinked. Uh, why? Why is this person here?
Leoric Franz holding a pot while wearing an apron. He was there.
“Are you hungry? He did some cooking for a long time. Now, come here.”
“Uh, huh? Le, Leo-sama?”
“Oh. There was some laundry piled up. I washed it and hung it out in the yard. Would you like to see if I did it right?”
The moment I stared blankly at Leoric’s words, my eyes moved.
I could see the clothes and underwear on the laundry rack in the yard.
Even the bear-printed panties. Even unmatched underwear or underwear bought at a cheap price.
“… Aaaaagh!”
