Episode 110 Confession (2)
“Hey… it’s okay if we stick together a little longer…?”
It’s difficult to say that in a trembling voice with your head turned.
Besides, it was still attached enough.
If it’s okay to stick together more than this, would you just cuddle and sleep?
“I think I’m still attached…”
“I was just afraid that I might be uncomfortable.”
“….”
“..”
The two did not have much conversation after that.
Is it because Iriel suddenly said something like that? I became conscious of the shoulder and forearm that I had been touching from earlier.
Her arms were incredibly soft.
It was unbelievable that it was the arm of someone who had trained and mastered the sword.
Iriel’s body temperature was transmitted to him.
His head was still turned, but there was a trembling that came from the place he touched.
Of course, it is impossible to sleep comfortably in such an environment.
How could sleep come in such a narrow and close-knit place!
It’s probably the same for Iriel.
When I was contemplating whether I should cast a sleep spell on myself, Iriel spoke to me.
“Ray… Do you want to hold hands?”
“huh?”
“If we get used to each other a little, won’t we be able to fall asleep?”
“…”
That makes sense.
The human brain adapts quickly, so once you get used to the touch, you will definitely not be disturbed.
It was the same logic that you would be conscious of the first hand you hold, but there would be no reaction to the hand you always hold.
In response, Ray quietly held Iriel’s hand.
Then she stunned, as if embarrassed.
“Uh… can you give me a notice in advance?”
Iriel grumbled a little.
He could feel the warmth of her warm hands.
It looks like it will break if you hold it wrong.
Iriel’s hand, which he held himself, was as soft as that, but it was delicate.
she murmured.
“Ray’s hands… are a little different than I thought. I thought what if it was softer than me, but it’s unexpectedly clunky.”
That will be too.
Since I was a child, I had to fight with Ale frequently and climb trees in the elven village, so there’s no way my hands wouldn’t be clumsy.
Quite firm grip and calluses are like medals that came out of it.
However, her hands, which must have trained the same sword, were extremely soft.
Perhaps realizing Ray’s intentions, Iriel covered her mouth and laughed.
“Because I didn’t have a drop of water on my hands.”
“…Are you proud?”
“It can’t be helped, can it? Who would make a saintess do dirty work?”
“Well, that is also true. I’m not the kind of person who would say do it.”
“If you ask me to do it, I will do it, right? You don’t know if you’ll get married later… It’s not bad to practice in advance…”
“A wedding? Can adults get married too?”
“What’s not to say you’re an adult? I do it when I find someone I like.”
Isn’t it the kind of life that a normal adult should dedicate his whole life to God?
Ray thought so too. Contrary to his expectations, he seems to be free to get married.
It is a holy state that is unnecessarily free in some parts.
Iriel asked Ray.
“In that sense, what kind of woman would Ray want to meet later?”
He didn’t know what that meant, but Ray took her question seriously.
“Hmm… First of all, I hope there will be a lot of laughter.”
“Whoop whoop.”
“……?”
Iriel let out a satisfied laugh.
Ray looked at her with a strange look.
“Whoop whoop whoop. okay. And what?”
“…Are you happy when you are together?”
“…You’re thinking very childishly, right?”
“No… If you’re not happy, aren’t you a bit of a marriage partner?”
“Yeah, but that’s basic, right? Is there anything a little more like this?”
“…”
I have never thought specifically about a marriage partner.
It’s because modern life is so hectic that it’s difficult, and it’s so much fun that I’ve never thought of such a thing here.
Of course, it was the same as being busy, but when you look back, what kind of life was more fun? If you ask me, I will answer right now without hesitation.
There, an idea popped into Ray’s head.
“It’s childish, but… someone asked me, who do you like better out of the two? The one person I can call without hesitation when I say that. If there is, I want to marry someone like that.”
“…Who is the most powerful right now?”
After thinking a little about Iriel’s words, Ray replied.
“well.”
“…This is causing me to come.”
Iriel laughed as if he was having fun.
“Leave that seat empty. Because I’m going in.”
huh?
Ray thought for a moment to see if he had heard it wrong.
Could it be that he received a proposal in a surprise attack?
Ray turned to Iriel with a puzzled expression.
At that, Iriel quickly cut off his words.
“good night.”
“…”
Saying that and then going to sleep right away? What is this, the sound of making spicy kimchi stew in another world!
But Iriel seemed really determined to sleep.
No, I didn’t even know if I had made up my mind to sleep because I didn’t want to say anything.
However, they held tightly together and did not let go.

“Aira-sama, there is an elf village that I hope to move to this time.”
“Hmm…”
Aira looked at some parchments with her white hair hanging down long.
After only a few glances, he sets the parchment down on his desk.
“I barely understood the content. allow migration. Could you instruct me to come within a week?”
“All right. I will tell you that.”
As the elder lowered his head, Aira leaned on her chin and looked out the window.
While staring at one place, she spat out.
“…How is the Holy Kingdom?”
At that, the elder burst into a small laugh.
“I think I’ve heard that question hundreds of times already.”
Elves can’t lie. Ira must have asked the elder hundreds of times.
Aira puffed out her cheeks and said.
“Isn’t that why I can’t go and see…”
At her words, the elder thought for a moment and then said.
“Since there are elves migrating this time… I wonder if it would be okay to leave it to the guardians for a day or so.”
“…Really?”
Aira, who was staring blankly out the window with her chin resting on her chin, instantly became lively in her eyes.
My back is shaking as if I’m going to find it right away.
Then the elder smiled and nodded.
“You have to promise me that you will come back one day later. If Aira-sama isn’t here, you might be in trouble, right?”
“I promise!”
Those were the words that the high elf herself uttered.
That alone was evidence of the greatest promise of all.
The elder bowed his head.
“I will just step back. Please tell him my regards as well.”
“…I didn’t say that I would go to the Holy Land, did I?”
“Aren’t you thinking of going to the Holy Land?”
“…That’s true, but… I get it. I will also send you my regards.”
As she spoke, Aira raised her finger in the air.
Then, like a lie, the remnants of mana left by her fingers spread like a painting in the air.
Aira’s hand drew complex mathematical formulas, and the drawing soon turned into a large-scale magic circle.
The elder’s eyes trembled in astonishment at the tremendous magic unfolding before his eyes.
As if a child was playing around with it, the enormous magic she unleashed was able to remind her that she was a high elf.
“Teleport gate.”
Along with the starter, mana that would be no problem for one person to pass through gathered.
Aira tapped her cheek for a moment in front of the door.
“Haa… It’s been half a year… Then let’s go.”
Sensing the girl’s expression on the expression of a high elf who lived hundreds of years, the elder smiled and waved.
“Please go.”
After the elder’s words, Ira passed the teleport gate.

As the day dawned, Ray opened his eyes refreshed.
He didn’t sleep as much as usual, passing mana through his body and feeling refreshed.
However, it was also good for the mind to sleep soundly.
“huh?”
But it looks like you slept too much.
It was because I saw the figure of someone who couldn’t be here right in front of my eyes.
Aira was small and crossed her arms, looking down at Ray.
“Huh… that’s right. This is what you said about ‘things to be done’ in the Holy Land. It’s definitely something you can’t do in an elven village… right?”
“Ira!”
Ray called her as if he was happy.
Then, Aira’s mouth went up.
But she tried desperately to erase her smile.
Even after witnessing a scene like this, if you still like it, you lose! she shook her head.
purple! Even now, Ray’s hand is holding that of the saintess!
As a result, Ray’s gaze followed Aira’s and stayed on her hand.
Aira looked around the room and spoke quietly.
“I don’t have to go to a room like this…”
“Because there was only this room in the inn.”
“Hmm… just the two of us in a narrow bed…”
“…”
There’s no other way to explain that.
“And holding hands…”
“…”
There is no way to explain that either.
As if Iriel had woken up from the conversation between the two, she covered her mouth with her hand and gave a small yawn.
“I think I fell asleep, huh?”
She spoke with a bashful laugh and then looked to Ray’s side.
Then, I saw a small girl with white hair hanging down to the same extent as Ray.
A nose that draws a graceful curve with two eyes that are clear enough to be transparent. Even at a glance, it was like a collection of all the beauties of this world.
Besides, how about long ears like elves?
It was something that even Iriel had seen.
“Ha High Elf!”
“Have you been well? A vicious human woman aiming for my Ray, who I even steamed, in my absence.”
Ira said calmly.
Then Ray cast a spell on himself and said.
“Clean. I thought I’d see you in 3 years! Nice to see you like this What’s going on here?”
Aira looked at Ray quietly and answered.
“…I came to see you. I almost didn’t have to see this woman.”
Saying that, Aira took Ray’s hand.
When Ray and Iriel looked at each other with an expression of incomprehension, Aira said with displeasure.
“Isn’t the left hand that I wanted dirty? I just caught it because it looked like it needed purification.”
Iriel reacted to those words.
“I beg your pardon! What’s wrong with my hands!”
“A bad hand stealing other people’s things.”
