My Wife Waited in the Wheat Fields chapter 17

#3 Harvest Festival (6)

Tyria studied Elric’s expression.

It was an incredible invitation to the extent that I had no choice but to do so, and it was a day.

It is heartwarming to see what he really has in mind today.

The words he uttered were like a language that exists only in dreams.

Blazing fire illuminates his face.

Her languid eyes pierced herself through her brown hair. The mouth hanging under the high bridge of the nose was firmly bitten. The scar below the ear also shook along with the reddish shadow.

As I put those things in one by one, my stomach tightens up and I close my lips.

will ask

Why is it giving so much space, making people look forward to it, or making them want to be greedy?

Crying with feelings similar to resentment.

It was a worry that I didn’t even have in my heart to hide the sign as much as possible and just shed it.

“Wouldn’t it be too much trouble? I’m afraid of hurting my knee. dance is… .”

That moment,

“It’s okay. I can walk slowly to the sound of drums.”

he laughed.

Tyria felt her throat choke.

A comfortable and soft smile that I had never seen before seemed to grab my heart.

“Will you excuse me?”

Tyria shook her head.

I was in a hurry.

It was a will so strong that it should have been rushed.

Even though it was clear that it would have a bad effect on his body, what he wanted was very clear.

“I’m glad.”

Elric held out his hand. Tyria put her hand on top of it.

The two fingers gently bent and caught each other’s hands.

The warmth that had been with me today penetrated my body again.

Tyria’s head naturally turned downward, and Elric reached for his cane.

Just-

took a step

Elric approached and Tyria took a step back.

Suddenly, I came up with a funny imagination, saying that since the direction of the mind is facing the opposite way, the body may be moving this way to balance.

Doong- Doong-

The sound of drums vibrates the body.

No, is it the sound of the heart?

If so, that was fortunate. The sound of this drum will cover up all the sounds of your heart.

“I’m sorry I couldn’t do anything like this.”

I shake my head again at his words.

“It’s natural that the body comes first.”

You keep saying things you don’t even want to say.

It was a selfish mind. It was clear that he hoped that this moment of walking hand in hand would last forever.

I can’t even stop

I had to hold back the smile that was about to come to mind.

The gap between the eyebrows is getting narrower, so I turned my head down to see if this was an impression.

As the steps that can’t even be called dancing continue, everything in the world gets farther away.

The sound of drums, the sound of people laughing, the sound of burning firewood and even the sound of wind coming from somewhere.

As if to fill the empty seat, the sound of the cane gets louder.

His breathing becomes clearer. The rough sensation of the clasped hands hangs on the fingertips.

His voice pierces your ears.

“I’m sorry.”

“… What do you mean?”

“I mean, you left.”

“You apologized for that.”

“Nevertheless, I feel like I have to do it again.”

I didn’t want that kind of apology.

That wasn’t what Tyria wanted.

“It’s really fine.”

It didn’t matter that I had been away for 10 years.

I was so grateful that I was just coming back and sharing this moment with you.

I was grateful for the smile he showed me, and I was grateful for the steps he walked with, so I was out of breath.

This moment felt like a mirage, and I was suddenly afraid.

It was for that reason that he added strength to his hands.

Tyria’s fingers caught between Elric’s fingers.

The binding power has become stronger, but to the point that it will easily fall off if he shakes it off.

However, if he doesn’t shake it off, it can last forever.

And Elric didn’t shake his hands.

Take a long breath as you slowly calm down.

Tyria was able to raise her head only then.

He was looking at his feet.

It was the moment when he tried to say something because his gaze was strangely concerned.

“Kiss me!!!”

Startle-

Both of their bodies trembled at the same time.

His gaze also turned towards the direction the sound came from.

“You mean kisses!”

“… Fuck baht.”

The owner of the restaurant, Elric’s old friend, stumbled drunk and pointed at the two of them.

The smiling face seemed happier than anyone else in the world.

Tyria looked into Elric’s eyes.

The troubled face made me feel frustrated for some reason.

“You seem to have a bad drinking habit. That friend.”

Suddenly, I couldn’t help but hate Bart.

The moment that seemed like a dream was dragged into reality in an instant.

People’s eyes start to wander.

They smile as if they found a fun toy.

“Wow!”

Cheers like encouragement

Bart’s drunkenness becomes an irreversible flow.

Acceptance is a funny word.

Nobles have dignity as nobles, so you shouldn’t show a sloppy appearance in front of the people of the territory.

It was a shame that could not be compared to anything like dancing.

They shouldn’t have gone away in the first place, but the reason why things turned out this way must be because of the excitement of the festival.

All of this is just an accident, so you can just ignore it and go back.

even though that’s right

“… .”

The moment you try to raise a rejection, you hesitate.

No, I’m afraid that the word to ignore will come back.

His refusal is frightening, even though he knows that it was not his intention.

“I am… .”

It was the moment I was about to say something.

“Excuse me.”

From noble mtl dot com

Something unbelievable happened.

Fire!

Elric pulled Tyria.

He lowered his head and pushed his head in until the tips of his noses touched.

and stop.

Indeed, if they moved forward just a little further, a precarious gap appeared between the two of them, as if their lips would touch.

Tyria’s eyes widened as if they were about to tear.

“Waaaaaa!!!”

“Elric! You really do it!!!”

“The mischievous Elric has become a man!!!”

The accident, not understanding what had happened, froze and lost its function.

Tyria looked at Elric’s face, which filled her entire vision.

His face was red.

Is it because of the fire, or is it because of something else?

“I did it because I didn’t think I would stop until I did something. Aren’t you all drunk?”

Tyria felt a tingling sensation as his breath touched her face.

Oh, you’re pretending to kiss.

At an angle like this, it certainly wouldn’t be visible to them.

I know that, but even though I can understand what he is saying, my body hardly listens to me.

Her hair was about to go white again.

“Please understand.”

However, his breath and smile were engraved in his five senses.

“… Because today is a festival.”

Just in time for an appropriate excuse, Tyria began to question one by one.

First, the dignity to be shown as a noble is erased.

Second, their disloyal actions are erased.

Thirdly, the fact that all this is smoke is erased.

leaving only one

Only the fact that he was breathing his breath within the distance of the tip of his nose.

“… yes.”

That should have been enough.

Because today is a festival

*

It was the next morning.

“You crazy bastard.”

Elric lay down on the bed and covered his face.

His exposed earlobes were burning red.

When I woke up, I was now conscious.

What crazy thing did you do?

It felt like being possessed by something.

All day, my nerves were focused on Tyria, and I couldn’t think of anything rational.

If I had to make an excuse, I did… It was self-evident that it was a disrespectful act.

Isn’t she a noble from birth?

Going around the festival would have been a reluctance.

Holding hands… Yeah, even so, asking for a dance really crossed the line.

To put it mildly, it was to make fun of women.

That’s too bad! Should have stopped there!

-Today is a festival.

I had an accident.

He almost pulled her over and kissed her.

Does she know that even acting is a hasty excuse?

I was drawn to the atmosphere and really tried to kiss her, but at that moment, my head cooled down and I stopped right before.

If he had been a little late, he would have been at the level of not being able to see his face for the rest of his life.

‘Bart… !’

It was all because of him.

None of this would have happened if he hadn’t been drunk!

I tremble and regret the past, but it’s already too late.

The festival that was dazed as if possessed has passed, and now what has been cast is reality.

“Bocchan, did you cough?”

Hearing Aldio’s voice, Elric replied.

“… Can I lie down a little longer?”

He had no confidence to see Tyria.

I was full of thoughts that I wanted to make a separate breakfast this morning.

“You shouldn’t be late. You are an adult now.”

However, the savage butler opened the door, saying firmly that he had no intention of looking at it.

It was a moment in which Elric could deeply sympathize with the feelings of pigs being led to the slaughterhouse.

After washing my face, changing clothes, and going down to the restaurant, it felt like how long it was.

Kik-!

The moment the restaurant door opened, Elric had to hold his breath for a brief moment.

“… Did you cough?”

Tyria briefly bowed her head.

It looked the same as usual. Apparently, it was.

That made it even more embarrassing.

It felt like the events of the previous day became clearer again.

Not only the incident, but also her features, touch, smell, and breathing when she saw her up close covered her body.

“Ugh… .”

Elric’s eyes wandered out the window for no reason.

His voice trembled a little.

“… Good morning.”

Winter has arrived, but my body is standing alone in the middle of summer complaining of the heat.
