Chapter 110

Let’s be a married couple rather than siblings.

In the midst of all this, Helios tried to pursue his own desires.

Why? What’s wrong with that. This isn’t a bad thing. Hadn’t she asked first?

Whether to be a married couple or siblings. The choice was obviously clear.

And one more thing.

‘A married couple is a relationship regardless of age.’

He had always resented the fact that he was younger than ‘Garret’.

From what he could tell, Master seemed to be older than him in her true form as well.

If only he had been older than her, she wouldn’t say things like ‘Baby’… No.

Come to think of it, she’s not the type who wouldn’t say that.

But maybe she would have said it less?

He could only resent that he couldn’t go back into Mother’s womb.

“Really?”

Mint tilted her head.

She had coordinated roles with Sergeant Steven and decided to use Gender Change from ‘Garret’.

But she hadn’t expected Helios to agree to play the role of a husband.

At best, she thought they’d become siblings.

Above all, she had doubts.

“Disciple, sorry but can you even call me by pet names?”

They weren’t entering the Royal Capital. They weren’t becoming spies either.

So they just needed to deceive the village people they’d encounter well enough.

But Helios couldn’t do that. At least her disciple that Mint knew lacked that kind of shamelessness.

Unless he was as pure as grade 1 water, maybe.

“The Sergeant was joking, so just casually…”

“I, I can do it!”

Because Helios suddenly shouted, Mint’s words stopped right there.

It was good that she stopped, but Helios felt like he had stepped onto the Judgment Stand.

I have to do it here…

Otherwise, Mint would mercilessly retract her statement.

How resolute she was – it would be painful to even mention at this point, wouldn’t it?

Cold sweat flowed. He pressed the inside of his lips with his tongue to calm his nerves.

It’s nothing special. Nothing special at all.

His face turned red.

“…H, honey.”

…But he finally managed to say ‘that’ word out loud. An opportunity had come, after all.

Soon Sergeant Steven, disguised as an old man, couldn’t hold back and burst into crazy laughter.

Until Mint kicked his shin with her foot.

“Aha, ahaha, ahahaha. My goodness. To think I’d get to see such… an entertaining show during this shitty mission.”

Long live the Warden. Sergeant Steven offered a prayer while searching for his superior and lord who was far away.

Thanks to this, life has become interesting!

* * *

“You haven’t forgotten, have you? ‘Mine’.”

Helios truly felt like he was dying.

With Master having become a woman… No, since she was originally a woman, having regained her original gender and hovering around nearby.

Moreover, what he could see was completely different from the appearance she had directly described to him?

He astutely realized.

‘What I’m seeing…’

Could it be her real appearance?

When he connected it to his new Kia ability, it wasn’t that strange.

Hadn’t he already seen things he couldn’t see several times before?

Thinking this way made him even more nervous.

The woman he liked was grinning around him… touching his arm and linking arms with him.

…Wasn’t this Heaven?

Helios helplessly buried his face in his hands. He didn’t know it, but this was his thirtieth dry wash of his face.

“Hahaha, ahaha, just perfect. You look like a very lovely newlywed couple.”

Currently, they were riding inside a moving cargo wagon.

Sergeant Steven was sitting in the coachman’s seat. Steven’s laughter could be heard all too clearly through the cloth.

“Ahahaha, hahahaha!”

Similarly, their voices could also be heard clearly by Steven.

“Father’s laughter is quite frivolous, isn’t it?”

“Ahahaha, sorry, no. I’m sorry… But our daughter’s husband is a bit, ahem, quite hopeless, so it must be troublesome?”

Sergeant Steven was now busy laughing openly at every opportunity until he was breathless.

It was to the point where it wouldn’t be strange if he dropped the cargo wagon’s reins while doing so and they all tumbled over.

Of course, even while laughing, he demonstrated mysterious cart driving skills.

‘Wasn’t he a guard?’

Really, from Helios’s perspective, he became curious about what this person used to do, second only to his Master.

“You can’t tease our honey like that, Father.”

“Ahahaha. Sorry. I’m sorry!”

“…Please stop it.”

“Oh my, honey. How can you speak so coldly? To your father-in-law.”

“…”

Helios didn’t know whether he should cry or laugh.

His Master spoke so easily, while he still stumbled even after practicing for this short time.

How could she call out those terms of address so naturally?

‘As if there had been others besides me.’

It was enough to make my lips twist and pout naturally. But I held it in tightly, not wanting to act childishly immature.

“Come on, we’re not done yet. Make sure to remember my name. Try calling me.”

“…Do I really have to call you?”

His Master tilted her head.

“Are you going to fumble around when we enter the village too? Hurry up and say it again.”

What was strange was that somehow, Master’s face as she pressed him was oddly persistent.

As if she wanted to keep hearing it. As if she needed to hear it. Of course, this was probably his imagination.

“…Hon…”

“Don’t mumble your pronunciation, honey. Again.”

“…Hon…”

“Even a mosquito’s whisper would be louder than that, darling.”

“…I’m going to kill you.”

“Of course. I love you too.”

“…”

Helios buried his face in both hands.

Really, what was he supposed to do with this crazy Master…

And so they began like countless lovers before them, eventually forming the bond of husband and wife….

‘Damn it. At this rate I’ll be imagining having kids.’

‘Damn it. At this rate, I’ll end up imagining having kids with her.’

He had already heard wedding bells.

I already heard the wedding bells.

Soon he’d probably hear baby cries too. In his imagination, that is.

Soon he thought he could even hear a baby crying. In his imagination, that is.

“…Hon…ey, I’ll try harder. To use it more naturally…”

“…H…honey, I’ll try harder. To write more naturally….”

Having thought this far, Helios sighed, unable to bear the excitement and self-loathing. Then when he raised his head.

Having thought this far, Helios let out a sigh, overwhelmed by both excitement and self-loathing. Then, when he raised his head.

“…”

It was really just an instant, but Master flinched. He had seen it.

It was truly just an instant, but his master flinched. He had seen it.

“Oh, right. Leo.”

“Oh, right. Leo.”

Eyes that had been staring at him persistently as if shaken or as if time had stopped, and simultaneously a face that seemed to waver and crack somehow.

The eyes that stared at him persistently as if shaken or as if time had stopped, and at the same time, a face that seemed to waver and crack with something.

The evidence was that the mischievously teasing formal speech she’d been using all along had disappeared.

The evidence was that the polite speech he had always used in a mischievous, teasing way had disappeared.

It hit him even harder because she was wearing what was presumably her ‘real’ face.

It hit even harder because he happened to be wearing what was presumed to be his ‘real’ face.

That face had an innocent impression, different from ‘Garret’s’ face.

That face had an innocent impression, different from ‘Garret’s’ face.

If she were selling flowers to him, he’d feel so sorry for her that he’d definitely buy one. No, if she smiled at him, maybe…

“You’re so excited you can’t think of what to say, right?”

It was already too late. He clicked his tongue.

Master’s voice was once again filled with playfulness that had puffed up like whipped cream piled on top.

When Master removed her hand, her usual face was visible again.

They soon arrived at the village entrance.

Though it was called a village, to Helios it looked closer to a city.

“Hehe, beyond there you could consider it a remote area. There are only small villages, so usually material exchanges happen here.”

It meant it was large in scale as a commercial hub. He definitely understood.

Moreover, while the people coming and going couldn’t compare to the capital, a considerable number of people were bustling in and out.

Since people came from various villages for survival, the inspections weren’t very strict.

“Cammel Trading Company? Seven people, is that correct?”

“Yes, my family and employees. That’s the right number.”

And when they reached the village gate, with the person Mint had created using Kia joining them, their group appeared large in number.

“Uhahahaha.”

“Stop it.”

Walking or looking at each other and exchanging conversation.

They looked so much like real people that it gave him chills.

It was proof of just how excellent Master’s skills were.

…Would he ever be able to catch up?

And so the cargo wagon peacefully entered the village.
