Chapter 23: Kaito
"Ceres, you're here."
I'm now at Kaito's (Sayo's husband) place.
And I have to ask him to give me Sayo.
Unlike Kazuma, Kaito is a stern, muscular father.
It would be hilarious if I wasn't nervous.
"What are you doing! Sit the f*ck down! You idiot."
"Yes..."
I did as he said. This chapter was first shared on the Ñøv€lß1n platform.
But it's strange.
I thought I wasn't welcome... until I saw the feast in front of me.
"First, let's get some booze! And now you can drink, right!"
"Yes, a little."
"Okay, I'll pour it for you then. Come on!"
"Thank you very much!"
He even offered me a drink.
Of course, I poured him a drink in return.
Kaito is older than Sayo, roughly in his mid-30s.
This is indicated by the fact that he calls himself 'Washi (儂)[1]'.
He used to have hands like logs, but I think his hands have gotten thinner.
"Heh... You've grown from a boy to a man with a man's face."
"Thanks to you, I've made it this far."
Even though I lost my parents, the village did not take my house away from me. Instead, they shared their food with me and gave me the things I needed to make a living.
This village is kind to the weak.
Although there is envy towards the successful, as is often the case in villages... I don't think there is a village in the world that is so kind to the weak.
Perhaps if I had been born in the next village, I would have been sold into slavery or become an orphan.
"Haah... nothing I can do about it now... But you've been chasing Sayo since you were a kid, right...? You can have her."
"I'm sorry..."
I apologize, and when I try to take the money out...
"I don't need it. I have enough money from Mel... and no need to apologize. Still, I really wanted to give you Mel, in the beginning, but I can't anymore... so I'm giving you a wife instead of a daughter. Well, good luck with the rest... Sayo, you can come in now."
She opened the door and came in.
"Dear, I'm sorry..."
"Sayo, why are you apologizing? I failed to protect you from my father, and I blamed you together... and I'm the one who should be apologizing."
"So what are you going to do now, Kaito-san?"
"Me? Now that I don't have this bitter old hag anymore, I'm going to buy a young slave maid with lots of money, hahaha."
"Dear... may I have a word with you?"
Sayo's face turned black, and I felt the temperature drop.
"Sayo... you belong to Ceres now, you're not my wife... so you can't complain."
"Heheheh... that's true, but allow me to say one last thing."
"What is it?"
"I hate you..."
"I don't like old hag either."
Obviously, there's a discrepancy.
Maybe he's trying to make me and Sayo feel better by saying that. And the real meaning is...
'Make her happy.'
With that thought in mind, I left Kaito's house.
"That sour look on your face is annoying, so, Ceres, you can have Sayo now... and get out of here. She's making me sick."
"I hate you, I hate you, I hate you, I hate you... I really hate you..."
Wait, she's really acting, isn't she?
