The Knight Wants To Be in a Relationship

48. Confession

* * *

“So, so- Evan, you’ve become a swordsman or something?”

“Is that good?”

“Yes! You are so amazing! After all, he was treated like a quasi-count, and he became the most favored person by His Majesty the King of the Window!”

The parents burst into exclamation after hearing Anya’s explanation. Isn’t it not enough to simply become a noble?

It was an unimaginable position for the two couples who lived in such a rural area catching a few animals.

My father looked at Evan and joked.

“Oh, what a great person you are. I’m sorry. Shall I kneel now?”

“Do you steal what you already do?”

“You bastard! You know I can’t!”

Evan burst into laughter when he saw his father standing on his hands. During this brief chat, he seemed to have laughed more than he had in the city.

To say the least, there were no people in the city to confide in freely——in a way, it was only natural.

No friends, no lovers, no family.

It wasn’t just a good city.

“By the way, Evan. If you were at least like Sword Saint, you would have accomplished what you decided to go to the city.”

“…… No, that’s not yet.”

“Huh? Isn’t this the one you came with your lover?”

Her mother asked, pointing at Anya. When Anya heard that I was her lover, her face instantly turned red, and she quickly started waving her hands so quickly that she couldn’t see them.

“Oh no! Mother! I-I dare to…… I’m just a lady-in-waiting, an attendant to help the Sword Saint-sama!”

“Oh, this is so true…… How about my son? I’m not saying this because I’m a parent, but because my child has a handsome face.”

“I, I——that, that, if you like Sword Saint… ….”

“Evan, your mother made me a lover like this.”

“Oh, Mom!”

Evan shouted at her mother, who looked at him with a smile. She then glanced at Anya.

She blushed and hung her head at her mother’s flirtation. She probably would have enough of a date if she pushed herself just a little bit more. There is also a bond between the maid and the master.

However, dating just because it’s easy…… Anya was too modest.

“Anyway- today is a party. After a long time, all the villagers will have a party together.”

“Is that enough? Shall we catch a wild boar?”

“Hmm- I see. Well, it might not be enough to call all the villagers.”

“I’ll be back. Dad organizes things with her mom. No, please.”

“Yes, yes! Have a good trip, Swordsman!”

“Hey, you can go with me… ….”

“Where are you going to leave your pregnant mother behind? It’s faster for me to come and go alone.”

The father, a hunter, tried to follow Evan, but Evan asked her to pack her things and she refused.

It was true that he was an excellent hunter, but he was average. He is not even an adventurer who hunts monsters, and he is a level that cannot be compared to the superhuman Evan.

Leaving Anya alone, Evan went to the surrounding woods and succeeded in hunting down a few pigs, deer, and rabbits.

‘It’s been a while, but my skills haven’t died.’

Realizing that his hunting skills had become even easier thanks to his improved swordsmanship, rather than dying, Evan flirted with him and threw the corpses of the animals he had hunted into a subspace and returned to the village.

On the way back to the village, Evan found a familiar footstep leading to a certain path, and turned his feet to a secret place that only he and one person knew about.

“─What are you doing here?”

“…… Evan.”

Arriving at a secret place that only he and Eri know about, Evan tilted his head as he saw Eri struggling alone there.

She took one glance at my face, then she turned her head and looked down the hill in the distance.

A wide open plain, and the structures of a city that look very whitish beyond it.

She herself nurtured her dream of going to the city here. What was she dreaming of

“—I’m back.”

“Huh? Ah, uh I’m back.”

“Did you achieve your goal?”

“You said that too. Yet.”

Hearing the words “Not yet,” Eri suddenly turned her head and opened her eyes wide.

She looked at Evan with an expression of disbelief, then Eri pointed to her village as if that couldn’t be the case.

“Go, what is that woman who followed me? Didn’t she bring you here just to show off because she’s your lover?”

“Bringing her lover to show off…… Where is someone like that?”

“Normally! Usually yes! Introduce her to her parents and that’s it!”

“She is not a lover, is she not a wife?”

Evan said that and she revealed the true identity of Anya. She didn’t know that she was a swordswoman, but she was given a great title anyway, and she received a maid as an unreasonable benefit to maintain the dignity of that title.

Hearing her words, Eri paused for a moment, then squeezed her hand tightly and began to tremble. After trembling alone for a while, she suddenly raised her hand and started pointing at Evan.

“You fool! Stupid! Don’t pout at my words!”

“What? No, because you are more stupid!?”

“Noisy! It’s more of a problem for people like you who misunderstand and bring in women! You stupid!”

Eri stomped her foot as she said that. It was as if she was throwing up all the dirt accumulated inside of her at once.

She said that when she was little, she saw it every day. She said if there was something she didn’t like, she clenched her fists and stamped her feet.

Seeing her for the first time in a long time, Evan was able to accept her actions, but the hill she stood on could not bear her weight.

f*ck-!

“—Huh?”

The hill on which she stands instantly collapses. Eri, who lost her balance, reached out her hand toward her Evan, momentarily widening her eyes.

A hill four or five meters high. It takes less than half a second for an unbalanced human to fall to the ground.

A height that could lead to death if unlucky. Eri closed her eyes tightly, sensing her own death.

‘Evan, Evan- Ah, ah- I liked it… ….’

“Are you okay?”

“Uh, uh uh…… ?”

But after a while, Eri opened her eyes, puzzled by the fact that she didn’t feel any pain. She saw Evan’s face right in front of her nose.

Eri finally realized that she was being held in Evan’s arms. It was unrealistic. She must have lost her balance and fell? From that height she extricated herself in an instant?

‘Ah, it’s a dream.’

Her shocked brain couldn’t tell whether what was happening right before her eyes was real or delusional. It was so dreamy that I assumed it was just a dream.

In a hazy state where she can’t tell the difference between reality and virtual reality, Eri carefully reached out her hand and touched her Evan’s cheek, and she began to speak words that she would never say if she were herself. .

“Evan…… I like you.”

“…… What?”

“I liked it since I was little…… I really wanted to say this…….”

“…… Eriri?”

“—Kyaaah!?”

Evan set her Eri down in her arms. Eri landed on her mound of dirt and looked up at her Evan, caressing her butt.

And she belatedly realized that something was wrong with her. Hey, there are sick things in heaven too? Can it be

“Ah, ah-.”

“…… Hmm, Eriri. You were thinking of me that way.”

“—It’s noisy! Die you fool!”

Eri immediately threw her fist and ran towards her village avoiding her Evan. Evan, who turned her head to avoid her fist, laughed out loud as Eri ran away.

“It’s useless even if I run away.”

A small country village where the villagers even know the number of spoons and forks in their neighbours. Where would you run from such a place?

Evan headed towards the village, chewing on Eri’s confession that Eri had just said to him.

* * *

“Now, today is my son. With the food Evan brought…….”

A party was taking place in the village. All kinds of delicacies brought by Evan were cooked and displayed, and the villagers exclaimed when they saw the food they had never seen before.

“Evan… ….”

“I heard that you are going to the city, but in a few months you have succeeded like this.”

“I just need to get married.”

The villagers said that and began to enjoy the dishes on display. Evan, the main character of this feast, was the same.

“Here you are. Master.”

“Thanks, no.”

After receiving the food brought by the maid Anya, Evan passed the plate to Eri who was sitting next to him.

Even in front of expensive food that you can’t find in such a rural area, Eri silently lowered her head.

Seeing her like that, Evan burst out laughing at her and said the same thing she said just before.

“I like… Evan, there’s only you….”

“I never said that! You idiot!”

“Is that so? I heard that.”

Seeing Eri getting angry at her fair and fair agitation and fabrication, Evan took a bite of her food placed in front of her and handed it to her.

Eri naturally accepted and ate the food Evan fed him, and focused on the food with his eyes wide open. It was the first time I had tasted it. It’s embarrassing, I don’t care what it is, and I want to eat it again and again…….

“I’ll take it.”

“…… Yes?”

“You confessed. I like it too.”

“Uh, uh uh?”

For a moment, Eri thought she might be hallucinating. Is this real? Not a lie or a joke, you’re going to take it for real?

Eri, her face flushed like a blush, trembled and looked at Evan as if she meant it.

“If I can’t find a girl in the city, then I will come and take her.”

“…… Crazy bastard.”

However, when she heard the next words, she let out a blank laugh as she felt her feelings cool off. It was an answer that would have cooled down the love of a thousand years.
