Love Letter From The Future

4. Rynella’s fate is decided by Rynella (57)

It floats languidly in unfamiliar memories.

If you come to your senses, the world has changed completely before you know it.

After a short confusion, the five senses began to open one after another.

First, the humid tropical air caressed my skin.

The reddish soil gave off a spicy scent. The sound of rustling leaves echoed in my eardrums with every step I took.

Looking at the pouring sunlight, it was broad daylight.

Through that golden stream, I was walking with a little girl.

It was a journey that didn’t even have a road at first. However, as time passed, more and more traces of civilization were appearing.

I had no idea how long it would take to walk on such a well-paved path.

However, I was just thrilled to have escaped from the wild and returned to the bosom of civilization.

Even so, it was only a brief reunion.

After all, Master’s errands were over, and she had to return to the Great Forest.

The given time was three or four days at the longest, but I was looking forward to being soaked in the smell of the city for the first time in a while.

In particular, isn’t there a special companion on this outing?

The tip of the cone hat swayed along with the sound of the humming song.

It was a girl with brown hair and blue eyes.

Along with her small body, her lovely features reminded me of a doll. At first glance, he seemed to be in his mid-teens.

It was hard to believe that he was older than me.

As I was carefully examining it, the girl tilted her head and asked.

“… … why?”

“No, I’m in a good mood today.”

At my obvious question, the girl burst out laughing as if she was blushing.

It was an attitude that showed no respect for the elder. For now, I’ll be the death penalty, and she’ll be bought.

On the contrary, their casual words and actions were also the charm of the sister-in-law.

She smiled lightly and made eye contact with me.

It was a look full of love.

“If you think about it, isn’t it your first date with our junior?”

It was an expression of sincerity.

I had to avert my gaze as I cleared my throat for no reason. Not too long ago, he pretended to be shy, but he didn’t do that anymore.

It seems that they have decided that this is a more effective strategy.

It was just embarrassing for me.

Putting aside my heart, I was the one who hadn’t even become independent under a teacher yet.

On the other hand, the sister-in-law was already a great wizard who had formed a family in magic. Even from a high-ranking aristocrat of the empire. The prestige of the family was also great.

Compared to her, there were so many things I lacked.

Still, it was best to have a relationship of equals between people who would be together for life.

If Master or Sister-in-law heard it, they might laugh at it for showing petty pride. Even so, I couldn’t break my stubbornness.

It was a sister-in-law who had already lost someone dear to her.

At least I wanted to be strong enough for her to feel safe.

In order to do this, it is necessary to solve the homework of ‘Gyeol (結) and Hae (解)’ in the flowering of Aura.

Clearing the look of my troubles on purpose, I asked the sister-in-law again.

“… … Still, it seems to be in a particularly good mood.”

Hmm, the corner of the sister’s eyes twisted with a strange sound.

“I heard you met His Majesty the Emperor yesterday?”

“Yes, what… Seeing that Master sent errands after that, it seems like something is wrong.”

Then the sister-in-law smiled and gave me a slap on the back.

The recoil straightened my back, and the sister giggled and laughed.

“I heard from Master, dude! I heard that His Majesty the Emperor liked you!”

“… … Is this your first time hearing it?”

It was literally the first time in a while, so I had no choice but to return a fierce answer.

Even so, the sister-in-law was excited and moved on with a murmur. The smile on her face spoke for her heart.

Now I could understand why the sister-in-law was in a good mood.

She seemed to be looking forward to it, wondering if I would fall in the emperor’s eyes. The more I did, the more my career path was guaranteed.

Nothing has been finalized yet, but already making a fuss.

The sister-in-law experienced extreme changes in her emotions, especially when it came to things related to me.

A sigh escaped from my mouth.

“Even so, what do you mean? What if His Majesty the Emperor wants to use you seriously?”

“What would you trust and entrust to someone you met for the first time yesterday… … .”

“Yeah, it could be! Look! How good your eyes look!”

Then the sister-in-law hooked and brought her face closer to me.

My golden pupils were reflected in those clear eyes.

It wasn’t a particularly good looking eye.

My confused eyes were directed at her, but the sister’s anticipation was unwavering.

On the contrary, he had only put on a hazy expression and put his hands together.

“The power of the empire all comes from His Majesty the Emperor, right? So, if you only fall in the eyes of His Majesty the Emperor, your future will be bright!”

That was an overly optimistic outlook.

So I tried to say another word to the sister-in-law, but then stopped.

It was because the sister-in-law, who looked like a dreaming girl, was very cute.

At any rate, it was pretty that was pretty.

In the end, I had no choice but to smile and ask the sister-in-law.

“Is it that good?”

“then!”

The sister-in-law answered without the slightest hesitation.

She gave me a coquettish eye smile and poked my side with her elbow.

“… … They say my husband-to-be is going well, of course it’s good.”

I was speechless at the narrowing distance.

It was always like this.

The sister-in-law approaches me, and I push away.

Then, when the sister-in-law started to grumble, it was a daily routine for me to soothe her.

But I also had this thought.

I don’t think I’ve ever given anything back as much as the sister-in-law showed me affection.

It was not a sister who was unaware of the sense of shame or powerlessness I was feeling.

That’s why I didn’t know that he was clinging to me so one-sidedly.

I want to regain my confidence even a little bit, and if that advantage disappears, I’m afraid I’ll leave first.

It was bad.

So I decided to follow the voice of my conscience.

“… … sister-in-law.”

“yes? What’s wrong, husband… That, and not sister-in-law!”

As always, the sister-in-law flirted with her mischievous voice and burst into anger.

The title ‘samae’ used to remind me of the relationship between me and her.

It seems like a deeper relationship, but at first it meant that it was a death penalty.

It was not a bad feeling of distance.

So I deliberately twisted the title.

“So, wife?”

“Yes, that would be better! Manu, Manu… What?”

The sister-in-law, who continued to speak in a fit of pride, stopped talking.

The purring of her mouth showed how embarrassed she was.

It had been a long time since I had seen it.

I giggled.

“If you have a husband, you must also have a wife.”

“That, that, that! That’s right, but…”

Rarely, the sister-in-law was ashamed and slurred.

Belatedly, I put on a cone hat, but it was already too late.

Even his face, which was red even to his ears, could not be completely covered.

I continued to speak with a smirk at the long-awaited change of karate.

“Why are you so flustered? When should I call you husband first?”

“……Hey, hey! That’s it!”

The sister-in-law raised her voice as if she was trying to make an excuse.

However, no matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t come up with a good excuse.

I just gave back as much as I received.

In the end, the sister-in-law had to lengthen the tail again.

“No, it was a joke… … .”

The way he glanced at me while doing so seemed to be worried that I might take this as a joke.

If you do, all the balls you’ve hit so far will fly away.

No matter what the sister-in-law said in the future, if she only took it as a ‘joke’, there would be no answer.

At this time, I thought it would be fun to pretend not to know.

Being from a high-ranking aristocracy, one pride was a formidable sister-in-law.

I couldn’t pick up the words I had spit out, and I could already see him groaning for a long time.

Of course, I had no intention of putting this into action.

On the contrary, I took another drink and bent my upper body.

As the distance between me and the sister-in-law grew closer, the height of the mouth and ears became even.

It was around that time that I whispered to the sister-in-law.

“… … I’m not joking, sister.”

The sisters who were on the defensive were very vulnerable unlike when they were on the offensive.

She finally closed her eyes tightly and shouted with a red face that was about to explode.

“Ah, really!”

It was the next moment that my collar was caught.

“Oh,” he instinctively pulled himself back, but to no avail.

It was because the sister-in-law stepped in and kissed me.

The first kiss in my life, unexpectedly, didn’t feel anything.

Side, there was no sound.

It didn’t tickle or feel sweet.

It was only that the soft touch was transmitted, and the scent of the sister’s body brushed past the tip of the nose.

Before I knew it, the eyes of the sister-in-law were spinning.

I was just staring at the sister in awe.

“Come on, don’t mess around! How dare you dare to match a senior… That, and you confessed first? Because I was joking!”

After saying that, the sister-in-law jumped up and stepped back.

Then he looked me in the eye and started running.

With a tight grip on the brim of the pointed hat.

His face was so red that he could hallucinate steam rising from his forehead.

I laughed and shook my head.

“… … My side is the death penalty.”

Reciting facts that probably won’t be acknowledged until I die, I walked behind the sister-in-law.

There was a lot to do in the city.

The days spent alone with the sister-in-law were fun.

It felt as if the density of time had risen several times in an instant.

I only knew that these happy days would continue in the future.

Until the great grove burns.

The flickering flames heated my watch red.

**

I took a breath and opened my eyes.

Breathing was rough. Nightmares floated through the brain’s blood vessels like fragments.

The memories of the strange man and the scene he saw right before he lost consciousness are mixed.

For a moment, I lost track of who I was.

Am I a man from the Great Grove?

Or is it the man who was stabbed by his younger sister and collapsed in a disgraceful way?

After panting for a while, I finally regained consciousness.

As soon as I did, the name I called out was one.

“… … Leah!”

A fierce pain arose in my abdomen, but I hurriedly got up.

I had to go find Leah right away.

Judging from the view, the place where I was lying was the bedroom.

It meant that the party hadn’t left the mansion yet.

It also meant that not much time had passed since he had lost his mind.

If that was the case, I would have been riding on the evacuation procession long ago.

But I had to stop walking after a while.

It was because something caught on my foot.

My puzzled eyes looked down at my feet.

There was a woman with blue hair.

On your knees, with your head on the ground.

Realizing her identity at once, I had to swallow a laugh.

“… … What are you doing on the ground, Sir Irene?”

The lofty female knight who once had high self-esteem said in a weeping voice.

“S-Master… … .”

It was the face of a girl who was afraid of being punished.

It seemed that Sir Irene also had his own circumstances.
