With distrust in Ashu's village deepening, and Sharti having a seizure on top of that, it was only natural for Ren to be overly sensitive about her safety. Sharti was worried too. 'But he's not forcing me to go with him, so it should be fine.' It might have been a naive thought, but since Ren was being sensitive enough for both of them, Sharti felt calm instead. 'It's not like I don't have weapons, unlike Ren.' Sharti pointed at her bag to the still anxious Ren. After rummaging through the bag and…-

Both Ashu's grandfather and the village chief were speechless. Their momentary shock at her appearance and demeanor being different from what they had imagined quickly gave way to being stunned by Sharti's clean face. So she hadn't been hiding terrible burn scars on her face after all. Sharti tightly gripped her hand resting on her thigh under the table. Seeing others clearly, not hidden by hoods, felt strange and frightening. Do I really have to go this far? An accusatory echo mocking her foolishness…

Sharti looked curiously at the rock Ren was pointing to. After confirming there was no one around, she carefully opened her mouth. "Where are you planning to go? Surely you're not thinking of going to the log cabin alone?" "That's exactly what I'm planning." Ren looked at Sharti with eyes that seemed to say it was no big deal to go back and forth dozens of times. "We only have this one water container, and it's more efficient for me to go alone than for both of us to go." Ren spoke casually and…

By the time they arrived at the old log cabin, Ren clicked his tongue in disappointment. The excitement that had stirred in his heart from the scenery Sharti had shown him had calmed long ago, and what he was now conscious of was her hand holding his. 'We're already here.' Once they entered the house, he would naturally have to let go of her hand. More accurately, Sharti would be the first to let go of his hand. 'This is driving me crazy.' Even though Ren knew he should let go of her hand to prove he…

It's Fake The Tower Master immediately unrolled the scroll. It depicted a man with an overall dark and solid-looking appearance. "Good." The Tower Master collected the portrait after briefly confirming the facial outline. A detailed examination could be done later. "Our master must be alive." The gray-haired knight spoke with a voice full of conviction. Leodelt Gwendhill absolutely could not have died. It was an absolute trust that he was not the kind of master who would fall to…

A Kiss Her heart pounded wildly. Having faithfully played her role like Ren, Sharti had uttered embarrassing lines, but now she couldn't raise her face due to the delayed wave of shyness washing over her. 'Was that too much?' Regret flooded in as soon as she finished those awkward lines. Unable to face the consequences of her over-immersion—though different from Ren's—Sharti kept her head down while hugging Ren's neck more tightly. Thanks to this, only the corners of Ren's lips…

Repayment Sharti wandered back and forth through the alleys, collecting more purple poisonous herbs. Just in case, she carefully examined the purple poisonous herbs that she had perfectly collected roots and all, wrapping them in cloth. 'There's no smell, and it's not the type of poisonous herb that has adverse effects on the surroundings.' The purple poisonous herb had particularly unusual roots. Unlike the roots of ordinary grass, they were considerably long and had a shape covered with…

Sharti nodded, somewhat dazed. <Yes. He's a man.> "Oh, no, not just gender. He's the opposite sex," Virena clarified. Virena was discussing the difference between same-sex and opposite-sex relationships. Sharti tapped the notepad with her pencil. 'Perhaps she's asking if I've ever thought of him as a man?' Fortunately, Sharti wasn't completely clueless about these matters. Sharti asked herself internally: 'Have I ever felt that way?' It would be a lie to say never, but it was too ambiguous…

Trying to Do It The first festival for Ashu's village held deep meaning. Regardless of its scale, the mere fact that they could send all kinds of lanterns up to the sky under the sunset and spend a boisterous night filled the residents with a tremendous sense of liberation. "Mom, it looks like giant fireflies are flying around in the sky." "Dad! Now I don't have to go to bed early tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow either, right?" "......Yes. You can look at the stars at night and greet the…

Sharti not seeing him as a man, as a romantic interest, was a fact he already knew. But there was a big difference between vaguely sensing it and having a clear line drawn to his face. "Right?" "......" Ren couldn't answer right away. The feeling of being rejected without even trying was quite complicated. "Did I... do something wrong?" "What?" "No, it's nothing. Yeah." As if suddenly shocked, Ren rubbed his face with a gloomy expression. 'Not seeing me as a romantic interest, does that mean…
