“Hm. So what are we going to do?”
“That’s right… Well, for the time being let’s get something to eat.”
Alaine and I were walking in the slums after we left The First Prince, Aquilane. Everyone here was stick thin, like they could wither away at any given moment. Their eyes were devoid of any life. This place was like the embodiment of hell itself.
In the alleyway, a woman was screaming as she was being eaten by a thug to satiate his lust in the broad daylight. However, no one seemed to show any reaction whatsoever to this sight. It was like I was really in hell.
A place resembling hell where corpses scattered here and there with the hyenas swarming around those said corpses. Despite this hellish sight, the two of us were walking nonchalantly here, our steps were light.
Hm.
I tiled my head to the side as I was thinking silently. Though there were no words coming out from my mouth, the thought itself was still leaking from the innermost part of my heart.
I don’t need anything else but Alaine. This is our story. Alaine and I only.
I wonder how I can be so firm and confident with this thought though? Alaine is my benefactor. I’m really grateful for her help but… But…. It has not been that many years since I got to know her. There’s no reason that can explain how Alaine can become such a ‘precious person’ to me.
……….While it is true that I do like Alaine but it’s not like this is my first love or anything. I’ve had a girlfriend before and this is not my first experience with a woman either. If I have to be frank, I’m the opposite of the so-called honest and upright human being.
……..In a normal case, of course I will get suspicious. For example, there’s the possibility that some sort of mind manipulation magic is being used on me. I wonder what this is? Is this the will of something else? Maybe this is not my own will? Or something like that.
But, I don’t know why but… My soul. My soul knows this is definitely my own will. A clear will without any clouds. This is what my soul is telling me. This is Alaine and I’s story.
“Hm! Tha-That’s…. Right. There’s no proper restaurant here, right?”
Alaine said so hesitantly.
“Yeah. I don’t think so.”
“Then if you don’t mind it… How about…. If I… Cook… For you… What do you think?!”
Her cheeks were dyed in red as she told me that.
I’m really fond of this shy side of Alaine. Even though she’s someone who can so proudly declare that we are a married couple, she still has this shy, feminine side of her. She’s way too spoiled.
…….Just how did I fall for someone who’s lacking in composure like her? If I may be honest, I like older and composed women more.
“Yeah. Let’s do it.”
I gave her my approval. Hearing that, Alaine gave me a broad smile, she looked really happy.
……..Cute. From the bottom of my heart, I truly think she’s very lovely.
A warm feeling was gently caressing my heart.
Fufufu~ Feels pleasant. Maybe someone is pulling a string behind me but I don’t care. I don’t care even if that’s true. Right now… I just want to keep basking in this feeling for a while.
“Then let’s go!”
I followed Alaine behind who was walking faster triumphantly.
………..I really don’t want to eat though.

T/N:Is this a premonition? That everything is just some god’s evil scheme? I feel like that Alma church is suspicious.
