Raphael unconsciously furrowed his brow and turned around.

That woman had come.

Just as his subconscious expectation that she would naturally follow him.

Serenity was approaching him.

“Huff, huff, your steps were so fast I almost couldn’t catch up…”

“…What?”

“Still, Raphael, I’m glad you came through the corridor! Otherwise I might not have been able to see you!”

Raphael stopped walking. Though his schedule was urgent, he judged that this woman might be facing an emergency situation.

But…

“So what do you have to say?”

“I wanted to express my gratitude!”

“I haven’t done anything deserving of gratitude.”

Serenity tilted her head and then opened her mouth.

“You cleared away the monster remains! They could have popped out at any time!”

“It’s naturally something I should do.”

Serenity shook her head.

“Really, really, it was such a wonderful thing to do!”

“…Is that all you have to say?”

“Yes!”

Raphael now observed Serenity with an expression as if looking at an unknown life form.

She ran all this way just to say this?

Her earlobes were certainly red, but…

She was smiling with a genuinely honest face.

‘Her head is still a flower garden.’

Raphael answered indifferently.

“I cleaned up corpses. It’s not wonderful.”

“Exactly! You cleaned up all those corpses for our sake! If monster corpses remain, there would be periodic earthquakes, so you did it to keep us safe!”

“Not for you.”

Raphael cut off Serenity’s words like a blade.

But Serenity remained cheerful.

“Anyway, thanks to you clearing away the monster corpses, we’re safe! That’s why I wanted to say thank you!”

It wasn’t words forced out.

As if she really wanted to say those words, her eyes were sparkling.

“What gratitude.”

Serenity’s words made his mind restless.

At the stimulating situation triggered by this suspicious woman, he muttered once more.

“Stop chattering like a chick.”

Raphael indifferently stepped outside.

But right at that moment.

Serenity quickly followed him out and called Raphael’s name.

“Excuse me, Raphael!”

He stopped his feet but didn’t turn around.

Regardless, Serenity quickly ran to his side.

Then she met Raphael’s eyes and slowly opened her mouth.

“This building turned out really well, what a relief! Right?”

She was holding a 【Collaborative Architect】 badge in her hand.

It was what he had given her before the completion of the first building.

But since he didn’t want to meet her sparkling gaze, he opened his mouth.

“Your dress hem is a mess. Fix it.”

At his dry and stiff words, Serenity’s cheeks turned red.

“Oh my, you even looked at my dress hem, you saw… Hehe.”

She’s definitely not normal.

Raphael stared at Serenity whose smile reached her ears, then turned his back.

Then Serenity spoke with a seemingly more energized, giggling voice.

“I’ll work hard not to be a burden as Raphael’s wi♡fe!”

Strangely, there seemed to be a gap between ‘wi’ and ‘fe’, but anyway, he wasn’t particularly interested.

But…

“Well then, please continue to take good care of me!”

At that moment, Raphael’s expression stiffened slightly.

He instinctively turned around.

Serenity’s smile slowly came into his view.

His stiffened expression wasn’t because of words like ‘I’ll work hard as your wife’.

The reason he hardened his expression was just one thing.

Among all the words Serenity had said so far, the most ordinary phrase: ‘Please take good care of me’.

However, that one phrase was the most destructive.

“…What?”

Because Raphael had just heard an auditory hallucination almost identical to what that woman had just said.
