Chapter 31: [Quite Talk] Farewell to the Heart: Lida's Case
Lida's POV
Even though I said it in front of everyone, I have already decided.
I'm the only one who can be Ceres' lover or wife.
Even if all three of us were wanted... I would still want Ceres.
My eyes were blinded.
All that sword-wielding had made me crazy.
Even as a child, I liked Zect.
It's no surprise because he was always the center of attention.
Still, Ceres was always working.
He didn't participate in the children's games much. He only helped the adults.
Because of that, Mom and dad were always close to Ceres.
Mom made Ceres call her 'Nee-san.'
Dad also told him to call her 'Nii-san.'
And Ceres called them 'Nee-san' and 'Kazuma-niisan.'
He's not even family... and yet he comes into the house. This chapter was first shared on the Ñøv€lß1n platform.
At home, the conversation was always about Ceres.
Dad always said, "Ceres is great. He really likes to cook."
He would yell at me if I went into the kitchen at the restaurant instead of the kitchen at home.
But Ceres was usually allowed in.
Mom used to beat Ceres... at first I thought she was just mad at him... but no... she was beating him out of her trust in a true family... and she was beating him to prove it. Mom is smiling, and so is Ceres.
I don't know how much I hated him, but I thought, 'I hope he dies.'
After all, Ceres is taking more and more of my space.
And my parents...
"Lida... who do you think you'll marry in the future? I recommend Ceres."
We used him and pushed him around.
Just because he wasn't a four-job man.
But he didn't complain we did that... and then we kicked him out.
Still, why isn't he mad at us for that?
* * *
No... because he's... open-minded.
Yeah... he's like an ideal father and mother... that's what he is.
It all makes sense.
If my mom and dad were my sister and brother, it wouldn't be surprising if they thought of me as a niece.
Ah, I see... until now, I was surrounded by great love... really, I'm stupid.
Even if I end up with Zect, I'll still be no better than number four.
Probably he would have a princess for his legitimate wife, a nobleman's daughter for his first concubine... and Maria below that... and me below her.
Even now, I am the fourth lowest in Zect's party..., and I am not worth it.
In that case, I'll be happier in Ceres, where I'll be cared for.
Maybe after we defeat the Demon King, we can both be adventurers.
We'll eat the food he cooked... wear the clean clothes he washed, drink the booze together... well, at night... we'll be together...
Hmm? Isn't it better this way?
Mom and dad were right.
They were trying to make me happy.
When we get tired of being adventurers, we can return to the village and take over the restaurant.
Dad was there, and Ceres was working the frying pan beside him.
I can't do anything, so I'll just serve the food...
Then, Ceres, I'll be your wife... and I won't hate you again, I won't let that happen again...
Well, even with all three of us... we'll just go back to the way we were.
And we'll be happy.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
