Dream Life

I'm so happy right now. Probably the happiest time of my life.

Because my dream finally came true. I asked Zach to turn around.

The day before the celebration of the victory, Sharon and I were called to the living room away. Then Dan came too.

Just before we were called, I knew that Mr. Lydia and Mr. Beatrice were in Master Zach's room, but I was wondering what we were going to talk about.

Sharon didn't even seem to know, he was leaning his neck even when I asked.

"Hmm? I don't know. You mean tomorrow's prep?

If this kid doesn't get it, there's no way I get it. And I stopped thinking because you could talk to me right away.

After waiting long enough, Master Zach and the others came.

Somehow I felt Mr. Beatrice's eyes were red, but soon I couldn't ask because Master Zach sat in front of us.

At first the atmosphere was a little strange. As I glanced at Sharon, Master Zach suddenly started talking.

"Mel, Sharon. I want you to marry me."

I thought I heard wrong. That's how I thought my aspirations were heard as empty ears at the time.

I heard the story afterwards and found it to be true. But because of that, I lost my voice this time.

When you said that if Master Zach was too steep, I really wanted to speak out, "It's okay," but I don't speak at all.

I was so happy. So, after that, I cried all I wanted. As much as I thought later that I could cry so much because I was crying.

I was a little confused when Dan hung the words of blessing for me. Because I knew you liked me. So I'm really in trouble about how to answer that.

Then I had a hard time fixing my dress at your wife's and greeting her at the celebration, but I think she was too happy to do it all the time.

I was so scared that I would be so happy when I had the ring fitted.

Sharon had a clear face, so I thought I was the only one on the rise, but Mr. Lydia was nicking more than usual, and Mr. Beatrice had a different vibe than usual, and he seemed a little grumpy.

When I asked Sharon later, she told me that she was making a face because she was going to cry when she relaxed.

After the festival, his wife said, "Mr. Lydia and Mr. Beatrice are married, but they're only engaged. So that's good?" I was asked.

To be honest, I envy you just a little bit. But I don't hate it when you two get married first.

Especially since Mr. Lydia was always on our side. Yes, Mr. Lydia has been doing a lot for me and Sharon to be with Master Zach since I was really little.

He pushed me on my back so many times that we wouldn't give up, and he said a lot to Master Zach.

But I didn't know why. 'Cause I'd want to monopolize whoever I want.

If I were in Mr. Lydia's shoes, I would never back you up, even if there was anything to get in your way. I can assure you that.

Once, I asked Mr. Lydia about it.

At that time, Mr. Lydia was drinking. Usually, these stories are appropriately teased, but you answered them with a very serious look.

"I'm an elf. I can't get old with that guy. If he was an elf, if I were human, I would never have done anything to give him... maybe I wouldn't have had his child. So..."

I didn't understand. Sharon was listening with me, but she said she didn't understand. In fact, I can't help but envy Mr. Lydia.

Because even if I become a grandmother, Mr. Lydia remains beautiful as she is now. And yet just because you can't have kids, how could you...

Ms Lydia laughed a little worried.

"... and you should have lots of family. Because that guy's not as good with people as anyone else thinks. I really should have plenty of people around to forgive my heart. That's why it's better for him if you guys stay together. I can put up with anything for that guy. If we can laugh together..."

I think Mr. Lydia lives only thinking about Master Zach. I don't feel like losing because I love you, but sometimes I think I've lost a little.

So I don't regret getting married first at all.

Because Master Zach will always protect what you said. If it's just a little further, I don't mind at all.

Besides, it's rarely the same as before.

The only thing that changed was that my left hand pharmacopoeia got a little heavier. From now on I will live with this weight.

But I've thought many times that you're dreaming.

He lost his life in the battle against the undead and may be dreaming happily in the land of the Dark God (Noctis)...... But you can dream. If that doesn't even wake up.

So happy now......

■ ■ ■

I got confused about this sudden engagement.

Because I didn't know why Master Zach would propose to me and Mel at this time.

Not that I'm not happy. Enough to make me really happy and cry. I couldn't cry because Mel cried earlier, but I think if I were alone, I would have cried the same way.

I'll change my mind, but after the battle, Master Zach and Lydia and Mr. Beatrice would get married.

The reason is because Mr. Beatrice is here.

Mr. Beatrice is thirty-six this year. Recently, Zach's magic has cleansed my skin, so if it only looks like it, it works in my twenties. So I don't think appearance is going to be a problem. But Mr. Beatrice herself seemed to think your age was a problem.

In fact, you said you were anxious to see when your arms would fade. I wonder why I would worry about that.

Because my predecessors and Mr. Walt are still up in arms, and if you think about it, you're still going to be okay for about thirty years.

But normally, my arm seems to start falling off at about forty. Mr. Beatrice has a long adventurer life, so he watched a lot of such examples and was anxious.

Mr. Beatrice is a very delicate man, even if he can see. So if I assume that I don't need Master Zach, I think he disappeared from before us.

But if you think about it, I think you know you don't have to.

Master Zach needs it, so I don't want to be with him because he has a good spear arm. I don't think Mr. Beatrice knew why that was happening.

I had asked Mr Lydia about it.

"She was never much loved by people. I haven't heard the details, but he lost his parents around the age of seven or eight, and even Doctus couldn't get along well with anyone but us."

"But not now, right," he asked, continuing his explanation with a slightly distant eye.

"Right. Not now, I'm unnecessarily anxious right now. I wonder what to say. Yes, she's a coward."

I was surprised and said, "Are you cowardly? Most of all, I don't feel like I have any edge," he said in his mouth. Sure, he's a delicate guy, but he's cool when he fights, 'cause I never saw him realize he was scared.

Ms Lydia answered my question by shaking her head small to the side.

"If it's from battle, he's brave. But I'm terribly bad with people and I'm cowardly. This is for sure."

I wondered how I could be sure. He told me why it was passed on.

"Because you're just like me. I went into college and got scared of people. I had fun meeting Govi after I left college, but I couldn't help but be anxious if that would last forever. When I first came to this village, my anxiety pushed me back inside. Now I wonder why I did that, but I was really anxious then. I don't know what I would do if Govi and the others told me“ I don't need you "..."

I think I figured it out somehow.

So I thought if Master Zach realized about it, he'd be married soon.

But there's definitely another reason for this timing.

That's why, but somehow I figured it out by the end of the day.

Because everyone at Dwarf made me a ring.

I don't think the Dwarf blacksmiths can come up with that on their own. I'm sure Mr. Kati is moving in the back.

But what's in it for Mr. Kati?

In an attempt to take in Master Zach in this marriage, the imperial nobles no longer push the ladies. But I don't think that would benefit the Kaum kingdom.

It doesn't affect my relationship with the Blacksmith Guild, and I can only think of as much as it affects liquor making.

Mr. Kati loves alcohol, but someone who can sacrifice alcohol if it's to protect the kingdom. That's different from all the Dwarves. So there must be some deeper reason......

That's all I've been thinking about, Nico and Mel laughing out loud.

"Thinking?"

"Kind of. It's no big deal."

I saw Mel's happy face and stopped thinking. Because for whatever reason, I'm happy, too. Anyway, I want to enjoy this happiness now.

"Yes, that would have been nice. Hey, why don't you stay up late with the Zacks tonight?

Suddenly I leaned my neck a bit. Then Mel told me why.

"Because there's going to be a lot of festivals like this. We're also Zach's wife... hey, it's a little embarrassing to put it into words... as a wife, I think you should know what to do. So I think we should hang out with Mr. Ulrich and the others until morning."

When Mel said “wife” with a bright red face, my cheeks got hot too.

Because I thought again that I could be one of Master Zach's wives.

"That would be nice. But don't drink too much. It doesn't make sense if it crumbles like your brother."

That's how we both laughed.

That's when I was thinking of something else.

There should be a lot of trouble ahead about Mr. Luna and about the Empire. So I don't think it's going to last long when you're happy without thinking so much.

Then you should enjoy this moment now.

I don't know what Mr. Kati is thinking, but I'm sure he doesn't want to turn to Master Zach's enemies. Well, then, there's no problem.

First of all, it's bad that Mel is the only one who seems happy. I think I can immerse myself in a happy mood at a time like this, too.

When I was alone in Doctus, I thought I wouldn't marry for the rest of my life.

Why? Well, there weren't any good guys around. Besides, nobody fell in love with a greedy woman like me.

But six years ago, in the fall, I met that guy.

It's a fateful encounter.

Until then, I thought such a story was the bard's bullshit "shit". I just thought so then.

Six years went by in no time. It was a really good time. But I always thought there was no way this time could go on somewhere in my mind.

'Cause you will. I'm a big girl, half past thirty. There's Lydiane, Mel, Sharon around. I have to keep thinking I can't be asked for something, I have weird hopes.

You might think you could have as much hope, but I don't think you could have lived if you knew that hope wouldn't come true. I was so fascinated by him.

But that's not until yesterday either.

From Beatrice Labal to Beatrice Lockhart.

But, you know, I don't even think I'm dreaming. I need this left-hand ring.

With that said, I feel like I've cried in public for the first time in my life. When he signed me up for marriage.

Well, I don't remember much when I was a kid, but I bet you didn't even cry when your parents were killed by demons.

"Don't let the Wang Tigers cry," my oldest brother beat me up.

Now I wonder why I cried so much. Even if you wanted to marry me, you haven't changed anything, apart from the fact that your name changed and the fact that you started doing rings.

We've lived together ever since, and it hasn't changed one thing.

When your wife was reworking our dress, she casually told Lydiane who was lying next to her.

Then she started laughing dullly after she punched and erupted.

"You won't have to laugh"

When I say that, she apologizes by saying "I'm sorry," but still, the laughter never subsided. I guess my face gave me a grumpy look, and Lydiane said this to me with a laugh and a serious look.

"I was thinking the same thing. So, go crazy... nothing's changed for sure. But here's what I think. We were family originally, we were. That took the form of marriage, so I just became well aware of it. That's why I think I'm crying that I have a family. Isn't that a little funny to think about? 'Cause I've always been a family. And I finally realized it. I wonder what we've been seeing..."

Her words convinced me, too.

Sure, he's always asked for me, and I have. Besides, I thought the Lydianes were an important family.

"It sure is. What were we looking at? Can't help but be laughed at? Hahaha!"

At that moment, I felt like Lydiane and I could be a real family.

So I decided to call her "Lydia."

Many people then celebrated it.

So much so that I wonder if so many people can bless me.

If you hadn't abandoned your hometown and become an adventurer, what would have happened? Maybe you were married to someone in the village of Wang Tiger clan and had children to raise.

If I hadn't met him that day in Doctus' guild, what would I have done? Maybe he was still a solo adventurer... I find that strange.

Either way, you've never felt happier. That's all I can assure you.

I believe this happiness was given to me by the gods.

So if the gods were to take her place to protect Luna, I would gladly give my life. He may grieve, but I do not hesitate.

It doesn't matter to me that the world dies. But I'm gonna do whatever I can to the gods who got me to do all this. Because that's the only way to convey gratitude.

This story also tells Lydia.

"I think the same thing. But he hates this way of thinking."

"Why what?

"Because God seems to be manipulating me. He thinks," People should live by their will. "So even God doesn't like it when you ignore their will."

When I heard that story, I thought it sounded like Zach.

"But you've made up your mind on my own, so isn't that a problem?

When I said that, she laughed nicely.

"I've said the same thing before.“ It is my will to protect you. So I won't let you talk either ”. I'll never forget his face then. Huuuuuuuuuu..."

At that time, you felt your distance from Lydia had shrunk again.

Changing the name doesn't change anything from before. I don't think that's a bad thing. Because I'm so happy...
