6 – Village Trip with the Grand Duchess (3)

“Hmm….”

Illensia looked over the counter with her eyes shining.

I took a step back and looked at it happily, but I found something on the shelf and opened my eyes wide.

‘Well done.’

The overall quality of the items seemed high, but I carefully looked at the most prominent among them, then turned my gaze back to Illencia.

Illencia was frantically looking at the items on the shelf.

I could feel that she was a celestial woman as she went shopping, picking up and dropping what she liked, then picking up and dropping something else again.

I thought that it was my previous life and this life and that it had nothing to do with a woman, but even though I was young, I felt very moved because we were shopping together.

Of course, it didn’t look like a woman.

“Do you like it?”

“… No.”

As I approached Illencia, who was staring at her necklace studded with tiny beads, Ilensia shook her head as she blushed.

She’s probably ashamed to spend my money because she doesn’t come out with it herself.

I raised my hand to stroke Illencia’s soft black hair and opened her mouth.

“Give me one of these.”

“Oh, I understand~.”

The owner of the street vendor, a young man, didn’t seem to pay much attention to the presence of two young children.

Well, even if the price wasn’t too expensive, it was quite expensive for kids to buy.

Then, delighted with my words that he would buy it, he held up the necklace and handed over the money I had given him.

Illensia, who watched such a series of processes, looked at me with her eyes wide open.

“… Why?”

“Just? It seemed like a good fit.”

I smiled at Illencia who asked why I bought this, and I took her necklace and took one step closer to her.

“You don’t have to buy it.”

“You already bought it?”

“…… Still.”

As she approached, giving her a friendly answer to her, who was talking stupidly, Ellensia quietly turned her head and murmured.

Anyway, I can’t be honest.

“Now, take a look at her hair.”

“…… Huh?”

“I’ll give you a necklace, so come on.”

Receiving something from someone is a position you are accustomed to, but you must be hesitant because you have not received much.

I hurriedly urged her because I felt sorry for her while Ilencia’s appearance was cute.

“I can do it….”

“I bought it for you, so I’ll do it for you.”

It’s hard to wear a necklace by yourself.

After hesitating for a while, Illencia nodded her head and lifted her black hair as if she gave up at my words that kept urging her.

Well, it would look pretty with her hair tied.

Her black, well-groomed hair was lifted, revealing the pure white back of her neck.

The northern part is cold and the sunlight is not so strong, so there were many people with white skin, but Illencia’s skin was different from hers.

Yes, she literally changed her ark.

The expression that dazzling white skin is innate, not made through maintenance, was appropriate.

If her skin also has talent, wouldn’t she be a god?

She thought for naught as she carefully undid her necklace and held it behind her neck.

Illensia closed her eyes and waited for me. Putting the clattering necklace behind her neck and stepping back, she opened her eyes before long.

It looked embarrassing that his cheeks were reddish.

I was worried that my face would explode sooner or later because I was embarrassed like this without even trying.

“It suits you well.”

I looked at Illensia and smiled with satisfaction.

People say that clothes are wings, but when I saw her, I thought differently.

It’s a pretty necklace, but it’s probably not the best necklace in the world. However, the moment it hung on Illencia’s neck, it had already become the best necklace in the world.

As expected, the face is the best.

Perhaps even if she has the appearance of a beggar tramp, Illencia would be beautiful.

Thinking nonsense, I grabbed Illensia’s hand again.

“Let’s go somewhere else!”

She quietly stuffed the things she had bought into her pocket without her knowledge and opened her mouth vigorously.

There is still some time left, so we should play soon, right?

Illencia quietly followed me without saying anything.

#

The sun started to set before I knew it.

She didn’t do much, but I thought it was a pretty good time.

Looking at the flowers in full bloom along the roadside, buying something to eat on the street when hungry, and looking around at the nearby shops.

It would have been better if I had talked about Illencia and Doran, but I guess that’s still too much.

“I’m going to buy you something to drink, so sit here.”

“Yes.”

“I have to stay here, not go anywhere?”

After walking for a long time, her legs hurt and her throat was dry, so I put Illensia on the bench where she ate chicken skewers earlier and walked on.

You can take a break while drinking a cold drink and then go back to her mansion.

Illencia nodded her head at my words and quietly sat down on her bench.

I bought one orange juice and one grape juice each from a nearby general store, paid the bill, and went out again.

Since you don’t know what you like, it’s better to buy one at a time.

Because it didn’t matter to me either.

Her general store was next to Illencia, not too far from her bench where she was sitting, so I turned my attention to where she was.

By the way.

“Huh?”

Illencia was not there.

You must have been sitting there? Did I even tell you not to go somewhere?

It was a mistake.

I’m the same age as her, but she’s old inside, and she’s so quiet and quiet that I thought she’d just stay there.

She was too far from my standards.

If you think about it a little, Illencia is still six years old, and she was saying that although this village is peaceful, she can be dangerous enough.

Moreover, I was at an age where I couldn’t say anything about disappearing anywhere on my own.

I was going to go alone because I was afraid Illencia would be having a hard time, but if she knew it would be like this, she should have gone together.

‘Where did you go?’

Illencia definitely stands out among other people.

It was because he had well-groomed black hair, and the clothes he was wearing and the cuteness flowing from his face were different from those of ordinary people.

That meant standing out in the eyes of others.

If a little girl with a cute face in luxurious clothes was alone, of course, someone would not stop approaching her.

Then, if she had a bad heart….

I took a quick look around, shaking off the bad thoughts that were flooding me.

I was worried about Illencia, but I couldn’t be buried in such thoughts and couldn’t grasp the situation around me.

That was when I thought about it.

“Ah… !”

I could see Elencia standing across the street.

Fortunately, it didn’t seem like there was anything unfortunate about being caught by someone.

Illencia was looking around her head as if looking for me.

“Illencia!”

I called her out loud and moved her steps.

Illencia also noticed me and quickly moved her steps and seemed to be approaching me.

Realizing that the place I was crossing was the main road, I raised her voice to Illencia and hurried her steps.

“There you are! I’ll go!”

However, as if Illencia didn’t hear my voice, she moved on with her steps.

Oh, I can’t seem to hear because the surroundings are so noisy.

Illencia, only knowing what I was saying and not hearing the exact words, hurriedly moved her steps to come closer to me.

And I, too, got impatient and hurried her steps.

“There! Move!”

Dag Dag Dag Dag Dag Dag Dag Dag Dag Dag DagDak!

Along with the sound of horses’ hooves, someone shouted. I looked at Illencia’s approaching carriage and kicked the ground hard.

“Illencia! Damage!”

The wagon seemed unwilling to slow down even though it had spotted Illencia.

It was a self-evident situation that Illencia would be seriously injured by colliding with her wagon at this rate.

The street was quite wide, so the distance between me and Illencia was quite far.

“Kid!! Get out of the way!!”

When the coachman shouted once more, Illencia was able to spot the carriage charging towards her.

And at the sight of the wagon rushing at terrifying speed, Illencia seemed to have stiffened her body.

No f*ck what kind of bastard is running so fast in town!!

I ran fast while swearing inwardly.

The coachman, who found Illencia hardened, hurriedly tried to stop the wagon, but the wagon could not stop because it was already stuck in speed.

Eventually, the two horses struggled, just as they were about to collide with Illencia.

I threw myself away.

Ilencia embraced her small and delicate body and turned her back toward her wagon, protecting her as safely as possible in her arms.

“Cain… !”

For a brief moment, I made eye contact with Illencia’s red eyes and smiled as brightly as possible so that she could feel at ease.

Peruk——!

At the same time, something bumped into our backs, forcing us to bounce back.

Thrashing!

While rolling on the floor several times, I let out a small moan while protecting Illencia’s head and waist.

“Cheuk!”

It felt like my head was confused by the shock from my back, arms, and legs.

No, actually, the world started spinning.

How many times have I rolled on the floor, I finally stopped rolling and sprawled on the floor, looking up at the sky and exhaling.

“Cool!”

Even so, I was holding on to Illencia in her arms, and at the same time I felt something warm flowing from her head.

“Cain!!”

I had no choice but to lose consciousness.
