My Wife Waited in the Wheat Fields chapter 2

#1 Homecoming (2)

The madness of the battlefield was terrible.

It was so terrible that it made them accept without hesitation the task of facing the person who ate face to face with a cold corpse, the task of facing the rain of blades and arrows attacking them from all sides, and the task of cutting several nights at a time.

The illusion that the death that surrounds the battlefield will evade only me is broken in the first battle.

The anxiety of not knowing when you will die will last forever unless you leave the battlefield… No, it was an evil friend who would not disappear even after leaving the battlefield.

There was no way that Elric’s spirit, who had been in such a place for 10 years, was still intact.

Furthermore, since he wielded the sword to die, it was only natural that he would be doubly more impoverished than others who wanted to live.

Nevertheless, there was one reason why Elric was still alive.

This is because the strength of the body overcame the wear and tear of the mind.

A beast that rushes into the enemy camp as if it were going to die today, and does not stop slicing until there is nothing alive in front of it.

Dark red eyes that should never be encountered on the battlefield.

The words referring to the sword demon Kasha were so ferocious, and the soldiers’ reverence for him was like a kind of faith.

However, upon closer inspection, his legend came from force and luck that supported his recklessness.

Everyone who has been through the war for supremacy in the west of the continent for over 20 years says that the sword demon Kasha is a ghost that will not disappear until this war is over, but to Elric, it is just a ridiculous rumor.

Pude deudeuk-!

No matter how strong he was, there were times when he would break as long as he was a living being.

Elric did too.

‘It’s slander.’

It was a heinous situation in which one thousand soldiers had to be blocked alone in the middle of a battlefield fighting for border lines.

As always, the battle was won in the end, but he tore his right knee joint in the process.

It wasn’t an irreversible wound, but it wasn’t even a shallow wound that could go into battle right away.

No, is it possible in everyday life?

For a while, he would have to be lame.

The essence of a mercenary is a replaceable force that can be commanded by money.

Of course, Elric’s power was irreplaceable, but in this situation where he couldn’t use his ability properly, he had to be treated like any other mercenary.

In a situation where there is no one to hire them, how can they be vicious on the battlefield?

For that reason, Elric came out of the front line after about 4 years.

Yes, it was a war zone, but the rear was relaxed enough to sit at a bar and read a newspaper.

After 4 years of living, Elric came across a text other than the operation code.

“A newspaper from the east. Are you from there?”

Elric ignored the bartender.

It wasn’t that the answer was unworthy, it was just the reason why I was so preoccupied with the newspaper.

Why not, the eastern part of the continent must be his hometown where he was born and raised.

There was a nostalgia that did not go away even after such a long time. Even after such a terrible breakup, there was a scene of chasing them.

It was Yubin’s golden wheat field and childhood memories of playing there.

It is human beings who dwell on memories as the time to die approaches, so Elric, who always stands by death, struggles in the hallucinations of those days.

『Princess Ecclisia’s Tea Party.』

From noble mtl dot com

In the newspaper, there were pictures of the smiling princess and the young ladies gathered to make her shine, and below that, a brief introduction to the tea party and an interview were listed.

‘Is there any news from Wibin?’

While flipping through the newspaper thinking, Elric let out a small laugh.

there could be Wibin is the most insignificant wheat field in the eastern kingdom of Perdin.

What the hell was he thinking, Elric shook his head.

It was the moment that turned the page.

『The first anniversary of Hoven Portman.』

Elric’s body stiffened.

Her eyes widened as if they were going to tear apart, and her breathing didn’t stop as if someone had cut her throat.

The accident also stopped for a moment and screamed to accept the sudden information.

The unforgettable man’s face was printed in small print at the end of the newspaper.

It was black and white, and his face had more wrinkles than he remembered, but Elric recognized him at once.

My father, who was so cold and hated, was there.

in an unexpected form.

*

Turning back was an old resentment.

Even when he first ran away, Elric waited for him with a glimmer of hope.

No matter how much I changed my name and crossed the border, considering the wealth accumulated by my father, I would have been able to solve such difficulties without incident.

I know now how childish it was, but at the time I was too young.

Besides, being swept away by the atmosphere of the battlefield, it was a time when his mind was not at peace, so it was inevitable that his emotions would bounce in strange directions.

Anyway, I have feelings that I don’t know if it’s such a mistake, so I ended up holding on and holding on, and several years passed, and by that time, I couldn’t find Wi-bin because of my shame about myself.

Even after her feelings for her father had hardened, she put off returning home with the mindset of ‘I’ll go back someday’, and she ended up in this state.

Emotions such as regret and resentment rose up, but quickly cooled.

‘A subject that doesn’t even deserve that.’

It was self-help.

In the meantime, what’s really strange is that even if he was a person he once hated so much, the emotions that come to mind at his death end with a faint sense of sadness.

do you have sadness I do not know. One thing was certain.

There is a reason to head to Wibin.

At this point, a year after the death of his father, he knew how it would look like he would now brazenly show his face, but he couldn’t help but go.

Chijijijik-!

Elric got on the train.

It was a steam locomotive that could deliver it to the east in a week.

I didn’t even spend properly because I was traveling all over the battlefield, so I had enough money to travel in first class.

The pain in my right knee joint eased when I sat down.

took a long breath

The scenery outside the window is quite red.

autumn.

It was the most beautiful harvest season in Yubin, the hometown.

The perfume went away.

Whoa!

The train departed with a loud noise.

*

A week to sit and watch the scenery passing by.

The body, which rolled on the battlefield without a day off, couldn’t adapt to the peaceful situation and screamed all the time.

I can’t see a way to calm down, so I twist my body, but the pain in my knees makes me grasp the subject.

The good news is that time only flows forward.

As I endured and endured somehow, the end of the railroad track arrived.

“Go take a look!”

The clerk who served me a meal lowered his head.

Elric waved his hand roughly and left the station.

‘It’s Wibin.’

The whole view of Wibin was unfolding before my eyes.

Even after 10 years, the landscape has not changed at all.

The streets dyed red with autumn leaves were quiet, and the people walking under them were wearing the unique seclusion of the countryside.

On the day of the battlefield, he showed no sign of being ready.

If you look a little farther away, the whole field is a golden wheat field.

The sights, smells, people and atmosphere made Elric’s nose tingle.

Elric immediately walked forward, dragging his limp leg and using a cane.

Despite the tearing pain, there was no way to slow down.

Every time I took a step, it felt like the memories of living here in the past were clearly overlapping on my retina.

As I walked, I saw a street corner leading to the mansion.

The Fortman family’s mansion is a little far from the village, and if you make your way through the wheat fields, you will be alone and secluded.

Took-

The cane supported the center in place of the aching leg.

Elric started walking through the wheat fields at a slow pace.

I played hide-and-seek with the village children there.

The maid got scolded for soiling her clothes with dirt.

From the time the butler took the place of his father announced that it was mealtime when the sunset went down, to the time he hid in the wheat field and waited for his father to come find him.

Everything was as clear as if you could touch it if you stretched out your hand.

Elric’s accident eventually transcended those memories and drew a girl’s face.

‘How will the young lady live?’

In the western battlefield, there is no way to know how the young lady of Yubin lives, so we don’t know her news.

I won’t be able to live.

She was such a beautiful woman that anyone would have snatched her away.

It was the moment when he moved to the extent that he could see the mansion in his field of vision while thinking about such things.

Basrak-!

A sound arose from the wheat field to the right.

Startled, Elric’s body trembled.

His head quickly turned to the source of the sound.

It was right after.

“… ah.”

An exclamation flowed out.

It wasn’t Elric’s.

It was the voice of a woman who had come out of a wheat field.

Despite the low and low pitch, the tone is clear and the ending is clear.

It was the character of the girl who shook Elric’s heart as a young boy.

It was.

The girl had become a woman.

The mysterious and elegant atmosphere remained the same, but all the youthful energy in my memory had disappeared and I no longer felt weak.

A more breathtaking beauty than she could remember was stilling and enveloping her.

Even though they are wide open, the drooping tail of the eyes catches the eye for no reason.

Elric, who moved his lips dazedly, asked without thinking.

“why… .”

that you are still here

At that, the woman, Tyria Yubin, closed her lips for a moment and let out a long breath, adjusting her expression.

Her gaze fell.

Then the words came out.

“Because she is your wife, she is here.”

She was still Elric’s wife.

Contrary to his guess.
