Quite a few days have passed since then.
The Western War that shook the continent entered a new phase.
Internal strife in the empire.
The 3rd Prince Credon Mahir, who was at the center of the situation, joined forces with the four remaining kingdoms to confront the situation.
The front split the western land exactly in half and fought an all-out war without a single day’s rest, and news of the intense war of attrition spread across the continent every day.
At the center of the special report was always the Sword Demon Kasha.
Every time he entered the war, he piled up hundreds or thousands of corpses, signaling the return of the ghosts of the battlefield. As his notoriety grew, interest in a certain territory in the East also increased day by day.
It was Wibin.
The land that gave birth to the Sword Demon Kasha, the land where he hid, and the land from which he left.
There were a few people trying to figure out what mystery was hidden in that land that led to such monsters being born.
And no one could reach that land.
-All roads leading to Wibin are blocked.
That was what Geumgong, the owner of EW, did.
It was also something that the Western Kingdom Alliance joined in to do.
In fact, even with such defenses, it is not impossible to enter or leave Weibin.
Nevertheless, there was one reason why no one wanted to know Wibin anymore.
-This is Kasha’s warning! A warning to never pay attention there!
Everyone has one life.
No one thought of being hostile to the most vicious name on this continent.
Anyway, rumors are spreading that only a reporter from the newspaper who first published the article about Wibin and Kasha lives in fear every day.
The Weibin in question was busy with farming.
The middle of spring, when rice planting is in full swing.
The terrorist attack of that day was now a day in the past when people would say, ‘I almost got into big trouble.’
“Ma’am, it’s time to cough.”
Tyria wasn’t doing very well.
The entire Portman family was like that.
They felt more keenly than anyone else that their returning master was a ghost from the battlefield.
They were the ones who felt his empty space and his changed situation more than anyone else.
Tyria has changed since the day Elric left.
She no longer showed the dignity reminiscent of Hoben Portman.
The face that was always expressionless became that of the sick person, and the clear tone of voice changed into a wavering form no matter what words were uttered.
In the Portman family, Tyria was known as the Iron Lady.
That was the case in the past, and now everyone was treating her like a piece of glasswork that would soon break.
That was how dangerous Tyria was.
The employees spent every day worrying about her.
“lady… .”
The head maid opened the door without any hesitation.
It wasn’t Tyria’s room.
It was the room of the departed Elric.
She was suffering from insomnia.
One day, when I was in so much pain from not being able to sleep that the area under my eyes turned black, I would go into Elric’s bedroom and fall asleep under his blanket.
Even that wasn’t a deep sleep.
The moment the head maid opened the door, Tyria slowly opened her eyes with a haggard look on her face.
“… Has it already been so long?”
“Would you like to sleep a little longer?”
“… .”
Tyria dabbed her dry lips a few times and then slowly got out from under the blanket.
It was a helpless movement.
He frowned as if the sunlight pouring through the window was annoying.
The head maid winked, and the maids closed the curtains.
Only then did Tyria gesture.
Rdio came forward and handed over the documents.
She never visited the office.
“… “This is the current state of farming.”
Tyria sat down at a table with a lot of knife marks on it, checked them, and answered in a cracked voice.
“Just handle it like this.”
“Yes, the meal… .”
“It’s not pulling.”
Tyria said that and bit people with a hand gesture.
No one could object.
I just hope that poor woman recovers.
*
Another few days have passed.
Tyria was still stuck in the mansion in a dangerous state, and seeing that situation, Aldio and the head maid made a big decision.
“Let’s make Madam come outside.”
“Ah! Get some fresh air and sunlight and you’ll feel refreshed in no time! “Isn’t the weather really nice?”
“Is there a way?”
The two people were deep in thought.

Then, I finally came up with a plan.
“ah! The herbs you planted in the flower bed have now sprouted buds! “How about doing that?”
“Good idea!”
The two immediately put their plan into action.
*
Tyria hated the sun.
To be exact, it was painful to start a new day without Elric.
It seems like more than a month has passed since that day, but the wound still hasn’t healed.
Every moment, it only brings a new form of pain.
Tyria thought.
‘why?’
Why did he want to leave like that?
Did he get rid of himself so cruelly?
Was life here more painful than life on the battlefield?
Did you make him suffer?
The more I thought about it, the more I realized that I didn’t know him very well yet.
Now you know that.
I just wanted to look at him, so I didn’t try to see what kind of person he was, what kind of thoughts he had, and what kind of pain he was experiencing.
That was the reason I went to Elric’s room.
Because I want to know what kind of person you are that I don’t know.
What he discovered was that his bed was small enough for just one person to lie down on.
There is a sword mark on his desk that was carved over a long period of time.
And he placed his bed in a place where the morning sun poured over his head when he opened his eyes.
I tried to live like that.
I tried to think of the same thing every morning, and tried to guess what he thought as he lived and fell asleep.
How did it feel to return after wandering around the battlefield for 10 years?
What did it feel like to hide that fact?
As the war intensified, what did he think as he faced suspicious guests?
The answer was still unclear.
Understanding others was very difficult.
“Ma, ma’am.”
Rdio came in.
“Could you please come outside for a moment?”
Tyria was reluctant.
Still, I asked why.
Because they don’t know that they are watching them.
“Why are you doing that?”
“The weather is really nice today. I remembered personally inspecting the entire mansion on a day like this… .”
It was something I learned from Hoben Portman.
-It is easy to spot dust on a sunny day. It is also a good idea to check for damage to items and get a bird’s eye view of the entire mansion on days like these.
He was a blunt person.
Just like yourself.
“… “I understand.”
Suddenly, the thought occurred to Elric that he might have been thinking of his father while looking at himself.
Wanting to erase those feelings, Tyria decided to go out.
R.D.O.’s expression brightened.
The head maid was the same.
Tyria draped the shawl over her shoulders and walked slowly.
I didn’t move at all and my steps were a little unsteady.
“Come down slowly! “Let’s go to the garden first!”
I barely nodded and left the mansion.
Only then did Tyria realize that the world had become this warm.
The season has changed.
This much already.
“Ma’am, come here quickly!”
The head maid said with a bright smile.
Tyria walked along with the head maid step by step.
The users’ attention was focused.
When I looked up, they were all smiling brightly.
I feel quite sorry.
However, I still had no thoughts of escaping the lethargy that was weighing down my body.
That’s the end of barely moving.
“braided! “There are already so many flower buds in the flower bed!”
Tyria’s body suddenly stopped.
“You worked so hard to raise it when spring began, right? “Just a few more days and the flowers will bloom brightly!”
“Aren’t you proud?!”
Even Rdio joined in and made a fuss.
However, Tyria, who was looking at it, could not help it.
Grumbling-
There were tears flowing down my cheeks.
“Ma’am?!”
“You human! What’s happening! “I said you’d like it if I showed it to you!”
“Oh, no… that is… !”
The two voices became distant.
At that moment, a bright sense arose in my mind.
The sensation of clearly remembering facts that had been forgotten or things that had been obscured in fog.
What was played was the conversation I had with Elric.
My heart ached.
-Isn’t this town like that? There are only things that sparkle throughout the year. In the spring, the seedlings are green, and in the summer, they grow lush and bright. In the fall everything is golden and in the winter it shines cleanly again.
It wasn’t.
-I think I really missed something like this. While I was away.
He lied.
-When spring comes. How about planting some flowers?
He probably didn’t want to leave.
If you were the one to leave, if you didn’t give much affection to anything, if this place was so painful.
I wouldn’t have made any promises about the future.
Suddenly, words came out.
It was raw, unrefined language.
“… “What a foolish person you are.”
Tyria’s expression distorted.
It felt like anger, but it also felt like a smile.
“Gaju, really… .”
One thing was certain.
Tyria’s voice gained strength for the first time.
“… “He’s such a fool that he really needs to be scolded.”
The head maid and Rdio’s faces became blank.
Meanwhile, Tyria kept swearing at Elric.
It wasn’t rude.
She was someone who had never heard a vulgar swear word before, so even if it was a swear word, it seemed like a cute complaint.
“Why on earth do people do that? If you have any concerns, shouldn’t you just speak up? If something is difficult, shouldn’t we think about it together? But I always suffer alone! “It seems like I don’t exist!”
“Ma, Mani… .”
“It was like that then too. Aren’t couples in a relationship where they rely on each other? But Gaju always tries to solve the problem on her own. If you make a decision and make a move without being seen, you will know that it is for your own good! “How can I praise you when you don’t know?!”
“lady… ?”
“How in the world can someone be so stupid… !”
While expressing her emotions, Tyria burst into laughter.
This is because while I was simultaneously feeling both unfamiliarity and relief at hearing something I disliked in front of others for the first time in my life, a thought came to mind at the same time.
‘… ‘I am the same.’
The swearing he had said just before also applied to himself.
Not being honest, hiding your feelings and enduring it alone, knowing that doing so is for the sake of the other person.
‘me too… .’
Elric and himself were both there.
I felt hot inside.
Only then did laughter come out.
Ah, that was it.
In the end, the mind was something that could only be clearly defined if organized through language.
It could only be conveyed by combining it into the shape of words and forming it into a sentence.
Haven’t done that yet.
Both myself and Elric.
Tyria turned around.
“… “I have to go.”
“Uh, where do you mean?”
“I guess I should go to the matriarch. “I think we should go and talk clearly.”
“lady! “It’s a battlefield!”
“Oh, that’s right! You know what the West is like now… !”
“I have to go there even more since I have a family head there.”
At that moment, surprise appeared on both people’s faces.
“What if that shabby person hurts his knee again?!”
Because she always had an expressionless face, she had a really stern face.
The two felt Tyria’s vitality for the first time.
*
Danal ran in a hurry and stopped Tyria from leaving with her luggage.
“Ma’am! “No!”
“Get out of the way.”
“What the hell! “Absolutely not!!!”
thud! Danal, who put his head on the floor, was desperate.
Since Elric, who had left for the battlefield, had asked for her safety, it was impossible to take her at great risk.
“You’d rather step on me!”
At that moment, Tyria’s foot really touched his head, and Danal was startled and took a step back.
Tyria asked.
“Are you still planning to stop it?”
Danal was worried.
It is obvious that she does not know Elric’s request.
Maybe it’s something you don’t want people to know.
However, what is worth taking is conveying his request to Tyria.
If so, wouldn’t it be possible to at least stop the steps toward the battlefield?
A thought came to mind at once, and after weighing it all, Danal made a decision.
“Go, the head of the family has asked for your safety!”
Of course, the choice could not always be right.
Tyria’s eyes became grim.
I also became somewhat fonder.
“… “Yes, I have more questions to ask.”
Just like that, Tyria passed by Danal.
I felt like my crotch was shrinking.
“All right, leader! “What do I do now?”
Ricky and the members made a fuss and asked.
Tears flowed from Danal’s cheeks.
“What the heck, you bastards… .”
I must follow and protect it with my whole body.
The moment there’s even a scratch on that woman’s body, our lives would be dead.
Danal hated the world.
