Chapter 164 – On the Flower Hill
“Has anything happened?”
“Nope. Nothing happened. I just have something to discuss about our upcoming schedule.”
“Is it?”
Seeing Alina staring at her incredulously, she laughed.
Well. Nothing happened, just happy times.
“Well then, I’ll start by reconnaissance of the surrounding area. Another attendant will prepare it, so please wait for a while.”
“Haha… Yes. I’ll be ready soon… Ok, I will… Ha…”
“Okay… By the way, is your body sick?”
“No, no!”
Me smiling and Alina tilting their heads. In the meantime, Portia is watching, and Serene is holding her breath while blushing.
“Then let’s go!”
“Go, I’ll go… There… !”
In that moment, while she was turning around, her serine stumbled and her portia supported her by her side. I hear her say something. Most likely, next time they will ask for it too
“Then shall we go this way?”
“Well. Good night.”
In the end, they decided to look around this area while they were getting ready.
She carefully opened her hand.
“This…”
“Give me the honor to escort you. Beautiful Lady, Alina.”
Alina, who was looking at me with blushing cheeks at my words, carefully placed her hand on top of hers.
“Few escorts have escorted me, so take this honor properly.”
“Gee, thank you, Alina.”
I grabbed her hand that came up to mine.
Feeling the warmth of her hand, they smiled as their eyes met.
“Ohhh, that’s really not bad.”
They held each other’s hands and started walking slowly, looking around.
I looked around a little bit off the road. What you see over there is the hill of flowers.
“Is this a flower that blooms only once in 10 years? It is beautiful.”
“Okay.”
Actually, I don’t know the beauty of flowers. Although it feels like a pretty flower. Still, a flower that blooms only once in ten years feels vague. Is this a gimmick?
“What is the name of the flower?”
“Ugh. A soldier from Müller nearby might know.”
We walked nearby, talking to each other.
Dating in this world is not that glamorous. There are no movie theaters or amusement parks.
Of course, it is not that there is no cultural development, so there is no shortage of things to enjoy, but most commoners cannot enjoy it satisfactorily.
In the end, it belongs to those who can go on a date, and commoners who can’t even do that end up eating, drinking, and having sex while eating at a restaurant or looking around a little safer place with food prepared at home.
“Is this close to the village?”
“Well. Looking at the map, it’s not very close, but it seems to be enough to go back and forth for a day.”
Still, it’s not without the risk of monsters, and there may be thieves, but if it’s a famous tourist spot among the people around here, do you come often?
An attendant a little further away answered my question.
It’s a flower that blooms once every ten years, so it’s a pretty famous place among the people of Müller. As a result, nearby small villages are said to come with the guards at the right time.”
“Ah, indeed.”
It’s a flower that blooms only once in ten years anyway, so it only comes on that day.
If the guards of several villages come together, it won’t be easy for thieves to attack, and it won’t be easy to raid a village with fewer people.
“There it is. It’s over that hill.”
“Hoo.”
Even now, I saw flowers blooming in this area.
Wide meadow. A tree that is slowly starting to lose its leaves. Small raised hill. It was a beautiful enough scenery by itself, but I wondered what it would be like if I looked at the place the attendant pointed to.
“This… Quite.”
“It is gorgeous.”
The little hill ended right away. At the end of it, I looked at a huge flower garden spreading across a small plain.
“It looks like a huge flower.”
It wasn’t a sunflower, but the yellow petals were blooming fresh toward the sun.
A garden of flowers blooming so gigantic that one would mistakenly think it was blooming beyond the horizon.
Wheein!
When the wind blew, the yellow flower petals danced in the air.
“Oh oh. Beautiful. Indeed, this is likely to come even if it is a little far away!”
Do you know that Alina is more beautiful when she looks at the landscape with her hair blowing in the wind and smiling broadly through the yellow petals? After looking at her Alina for a moment, she turned her head towards me.
“Look, from a high place, it is like a single sun, it is as if I am looking at you!”
Seeing that, I narrowed my eyes.
Her appearance was beautiful enough to drive men away from reason. I was blinded by her wide smile, drawing an innocent smile that was different from her usual graceful appearance.
As I was looking at it, the attendant approached me and said in a small voice.
“At least as far as I know, they say they have been on this land for a very long time. As a result, there are many stories related to this place, and since it blooms every ten years, there are rumors among lovers that if they swear their love here, they will be together forever.”
“Oh, yes! What a wonderful, beautiful story.”
No matter how much it sounds like a lie, I just shut my mouth at Alina’s twinkling eyes, saying that this area is her hometown and a beautiful story with an attendant with a proud face.
Is it true?
Whoops!
Stretched out her hand
Just at that moment, a beautifully fallen flower came flying in the wind.
“Alina.”
“Well?”
Alina, who had been looking around for a long time at my call, looked this way.
“… That, that.”
Looking at the flower in my hand, my face gradually turns red with wide-open eyes.
“To be honest, there are still many things we don’t know about each other.”
Through the petals dancing in the wind, he held out a flower towards Alina, who was more beautiful than flowers.
Looking at the flowers, looking at my face, I saw my face in the shaking eyes.
“But I think we like each other.”
“… Is that so? Hmm, hmm.”
Come in and smoke something else.
He held out her hand with a slight smile.
“I’m a bit complicated with women’s issues.”
“Well, that breaks the mood a bit to come out here, right?”
I spoke confidently to Alina, who pouted and glared at me.
“But I think I need to tell you in advance so there won’t be anything else to say later.”
“Like a bad boy.”
He looked at me as if he was dumbfounded at my confident appearance, and eventually Alina laughed as well.
“But. It’s my fault for falling for a capable man.”
“Five? I fell for you now… ?”
“Kuhm! Well, I heard you wrong! I said the wrong thing!”
I took a step closer to the appearance of embarrassment that was not suitable for my age.
He held out a flower in his hand.
“But will you be okay? If you connect with me, it will definitely be pretty rough in the future.”
“Come here… I feel the same way, but isn’t Alina already prepared for that?”
No matter how neutral the family of the Dukes of Earthlane maintains, they are clearly the capital’s aristocrats and are close to the royal family.
Of course you wouldn’t look good on that.
“You’re still going to get me in your hands?”
“I don’t really care about that.”
“That’s it…”
Alina’s eyes blinked at my words.
“Power and wealth are nothing more than power acquired by chance. Magical power, well, it’s naturally strong, but playing with it is fun, so I trained it to my own degree.”
“Is that the end of your level of control?”
Alina was dumbfounded and laughed.
“I thought it was the most important thing I had and the hardest to control.”
“Oh, what is that?”
Is it lust?
She said, laughing at Alina teasing him.
“It’s a monopoly.”
“Do you want to monopolize?”
Yes. I really can’t afford it.
By myself
“It doesn’t really matter if it’s not mine from the start.”
When someone touches mine, I get annoyed.
Pissed off Angry. Hateful.
“My strength, my power, my wealth.”
Woman too. Load too. Even my people.
“If you receive my flowers here, even you.”
“Whoops. Is it. If I receive this flower, will it become yours?”
I bowed my head to Alina who said while looking at the flowers.
“And if you become mine, you will never leave my side again.”
“It’s scary, it’s scary. Is it. Is it monopoly?”
Alina muttered softly.
“It’s not a bad feeling.”
You could also call it greed.
Some might say it’s a sin.
But what’s wrong with loving mine?
That this is my love
“So, Alina. Wouldn’t we be good friends?”
“… Hehe. What is a good relationship?”
Is it because Alina is tall for a woman and she’s wearing her thick boots? She looks almost straight into my eyes.
Her hands held the flowers above mine.
She smiled as she looked into those confident eyes.
“It is between a man and a woman. We still know each other, but I don’t know what will happen if we get to know each other.”
“… Well, good Are you satisfied with that now? I look forward to the day when we become close and become yours someday.”
Holding the yellow flower with both hands, Alina smiled broadly.
