My Wife Waited in the Wheat Fields

#13 Waiting for Spring (5)

“Chairman, we will be arriving soon.”

Somewhere in first class on the transcontinental railroad.

Edward felt the desire to hang himself at the sound of his secretary’s voice.

‘Oh, I don’t want to get off.’

“Uh heh heh.” His face is pale as he lets out a soulless laugh.

There was no strength in his body, and even his voice was downcast.

“Okay, let’s go… .”

It was the moment when he suddenly woke up.

“Oh, and.”

“What else?”

“There are people who get off at Yubin together. In first class.”

Shockingly, Edward’s body shuddered.

His gaze turned to the secretary. He was making a slightly serious face.

“… It is the Empire side.”

“It sucks, really.”

Edward clicked his tongue and shook his head.

‘I absolutely refuse to make the situation more complicated than this.’

Whatever it is, you can’t go out on your own.

As I move while thinking, my body is already out of the seat.

Seeing the seat with the door open just like that, I see.

“Oh, what’s the goldsmith doing here?”

There was a man pulling a wheelchair.

Next to him, there was a man who looked like a man with a bowler hat that was pressed down deeply.

Edward had to use his strength to manage his expression.

“Is this a crazy coincidence?”

“It’s a coincidence, I don’t think so.”

Elbus Graham, the Emperor’s nanny, replied with a sly smile.

Edward’s fist clenched.

‘Why is that human… No, since he’s Kasha’s friend, it’s natural, right? If that’s the case, it must have come together because of the business of the author next to me.’

Even though he wore a fedora, he was too familiar with that man’s lower rank.

After all, does it make sense to do business without knowing the face of that celebrity?

Edward bowed his head.

“… Meet the noble blood.”

The 3rd prince of the royal family, Mahir, was here.

There must be a purpose

‘That means I wasn’t the only one thinking of Kasha.’

The War of the West began in earnest.

Those who wanted to win moved.

To get the Joker card called the Sword Demon.

*

The atmosphere on the Portman Street was more chaotic than at any time in recent years.

It had to be.

Wizard.

Also, since a high-ranking magician with a gold medal on his robe visited such a rural estate, the servants must be nervous.

Besides that, it was.

“You’re here to meet the young master, aren’t you?”

“You look so young? And there’s a woman… .”

“Bocchan, where the hell did you do what?”

“Why, isn’t it? A lover I met when I was a wanderer… .”

“Oh my God, that’s not okay… .”

thud!

Fist knocked on the wall.

The maids were very excited when they saw the woman who appeared.

“Hick! The maid?!”

“What are you doing? Why don’t you guys go to work?”

To Elric, she was a warm grandmother, but to the maids, Rhonda was the maid.

As she raised her stern voice, the maids bowed their heads and left.

“… You can come out now. lady.”

Tyria, who was standing behind the door, entered the room and sat down at the desk when the maids left.

There was pity in Rhonda’s eyes as she looked at her.

‘The boy came out like that for no reason.’

The moment Tyria brought the wizard, Elric immediately took her to the drawing room, saying he had a separate conversation with the wizard.

The servants of the mansion had seen him grabbing his wrists and dragging him.

In other words, the servants had to see the sight of Tyria being left alone.

It is undeniable that it is a scene that stimulates the imagination.

In other words, it was a scene that loosened the mansion’s discipline.

Doesn’t the fact that there are rumors worth chewing mean that the respect and fear of the owner have faded?

From noble mtl dot com

At times like this, we have to push the workers even harder… .

“lady?”

“… I went out alone and I was tired.”

Tyria was unable to do so.

Rhonda had been the closest to Tyria since she first came into the house.

It is inevitable to know.

That that expressionless face was a mask, and that the real Tyria Portman hidden under it was actually a very tender girl.

I couldn’t even offer any consolation.

Because he knew that it would make Tyria miserable.

It was not the servant’s job to lift the mask she did not want to take off.

“First of all, I will go to treat guests. Madam… .”

“I will rest here for a while. Please tell me when the head of the family leaves the drawing room.”

“Yes, I will go.”

With a click, the door closed and Tyria was left alone in the room.

*

want to lie down

Tyria, who was curled up in a chair, remembered that thought.

One reason I can’t do that is because today’s work isn’t over.

After the work in the drawing room is finished, I will have to go downstairs to meet the two of them, but if I lie down, my hair will be frizzy and my clothes will not wrinkle.

Even at such a moment, the thought of maintaining dignity as a hostess lingers in my head.

Tyria washed her face dry.

It was uncomfortable because my head was not organized, and my stomach was upset because I couldn’t calm down.

He let out a long breath, but instead of calming down, the anxiety only grew thicker inside.

-Ah, get married… ! yo. this!

-That, a pseudonym… It seems to be writing… yo. this.

-I’ll take you… yo. this.

What I remembered was a girl who seemed to be full of shyness.

The blushing of her cheeks while talking was a girl who showed her heart right away, and her reaction the moment she faced Elric was terribly clear.

When you see such a heart, face to face, your thoughts continue to spread.

Even after promising not to ask, what would Elric’s last 10 years be like?

What kind of life did he live and who did he meet?

I was afraid even though I wanted to know.

I’m afraid that words I don’t want to hear will come out.

I guess my relationship with that girl is really the one I thought it would be.

‘ah… .’

It’s stupid.

I felt so stupid for being alone.

yes, it could be

Isn’t he the one who lived as a wanderer for 10 years at the height of his life?

I must have met a lot of people and built a lot of relationships, but it would be more strange that there was no relationship that could be called love.

The reason why it hurts so much is probably because I expected it.

As the saying goes, the more you fall from a high place, the more painful it is, but it must be because of Elric, who came back and was so kind.

I must not indulge in this thought.

I tried to calm myself down, but my thoughts kept wandering in the wrong direction.

What kind of ulterior motive was Elric’s behavior that pulled him in and locked him in his arms at the moment of their meeting?

Didn’t you want to show your expression?

Was it an instinctive mind trying to hide the fact that he had an affair?

No, is it correct to call this an affair?

‘… house owner.’

went back inside

If you try to find the reason for your anxiety, there is only one answer that comes out in the end.

‘I am… .’

I’m anxious.

I’m afraid you’ll leave

Like the girl said, I’m afraid we’ll leave this place together.

Afraid of being left alone again

It’s so unsettling.

To the point where I regret having such a happy day.

“Huh… .”

I was out of breath.

My head hurt.

*

Elric recalled.

It was about several battles with Ygret Valentia.

‘I should have killed you when we first met.’

No matter how many times I thought about it.

It was a defeat that he only fainted thinking that he was just a child.

Even when I think about how I’ve been interfering with everything on the battlefield ever since.

Especially when you think about today’s work.

should have killed

Complacent sympathy created this situation.

Elric looked at Ygret, raising such regret.

Click.

The atmosphere in the drawing room was sharply forged.

Ygret, who was sitting across from me, was sipping tea with his robe down.

It’s too late to regret it, so let’s think about the future.

What was the reason she didn’t use magic straight away according to her temper, which she knew first?

‘It must be the depletion of mana. The mana I feel is not yet complete.’

Then why are you hiding your identity?

‘Because I’m not supposed to be here. Because that’s when the clash in the 7th season started.’

Things aren’t too bad.

The best thing to do was to get her off with a conversation.

How can you not know that it is best to win without fighting?

However, if that fails, the next best thing is to kill her secretly at this point.

You can leave the body to be disposed of by Danal.

and,

‘There are tasks that need to be resolved in order to use the next best solution.’

Who else knows she came here?

Who else should I kill to treat it as a complete disappearance?

The answer was obvious.

‘Goldsmith.’

The friendship between Geumgong and Hwahwa was already widely known.

It was only natural that 10% of EW’s shares were in her hands.

As such, it is self-evident that his location was discovered because of goldsmiths.

After all, it was necessary to make sure that the goldsmith was dealt with on the train that day.

‘… No, if you kill a goldsmith on the train, you won’t be able to escape the investigation.’

It really hurts that it was an unavoidable situation.

Elric squeezed his staff.

Then, he asked while spreading his sad spirit of life throughout the space.

“Why are you here? I haven’t heard of that yet.”

At that, Ygret raised his head slightly.

It was red. Hair, eyes, clothes, and skin.

“Yes… .”

She answered, avoiding Elric’s gaze.

“… He got along well with his wife.”

Elric’s brow twitched.

It was said that it was a soft voice that could not be seen as coercion and could not come out of Ygret’s mouth.

“what?”

“It was nice to see. just… .”

Ygret lowered his head.

“… I hope you continue to be well. nice to see huh. so.”

is it a crazy year?

Elric recalled a vulgar remark.

I couldn’t figure out her purpose.

Is it benevolence, or coercion?

“Did you come to say that?”

Discomfort began to fill Elric’s stomach.
