Merilyn Sutherland.
Our first assembly was particular to me, and the truth that I needed to neglect her introduced me sorrow.
I’d by no means see her once more, however as per the letter she left me, I must dwell as if Id forgotten her till we met once more.
Ailing cease by my home for a second and are available again.
Okay, see you in a bit~
Now that I had met her once more, I couldnt simply ship her away.
So, I made a decision to catch up over a meal, and after arranging to fulfill, I went dwelling to disarm and catch my breath.
Following the highway from the guild, previous the sq., and thru the town, I arrived at my modest home in a residential space.
In comparison with my latest earnings, it was a humble home, however much better than the slums or adventurers inns utilized by the poor.
It had a yard, and although smaller than a two-story home, it had a spacious attic that may very well be used as a storeroom or visitor room in a pinch.
I by no means thought Id personal a home on this life, one thing I couldnt do in my previous life.
Certainly, this was fairly an achievement for a rookie adventurer.
However what made me happier was understanding there was somebody ready for me after I returned to this home.
Airi Haven.
Having acquired numerous assist from her and finally suggesting cohabitation, she was my benefactor, and although circuitously talked about, somebody who had grow to be as pricey as a companion in my day by day life.
Im again, Airi
I used to be about to name her identify as quickly as I returned dwelling, however my mouth shut the second I noticed the doorway.
Normally, she would come out of the kitchen to greet me on the time I arrived, however at this time, she was on the entrance sooner than normal, arms crossed, dealing with me.
With none greetings, she was simply silently looking at me together with her mouth shut.Up to date from n0velb(i)n.c(o)/m
Uh.
Sure, she simply stared at me with out saying a phrase.
Removed from her normal affectionate and shy demeanor, as if she had some criticism.
Uh, Airi
Are available.
I used to be about to ask if one thing was unsuitable, however she simply walked forward into the kitchen.
Whats occurring? She would often greet me.
Did I do one thing unsuitable?
Eat this.
Ah, sure. Thanks.
Deciding to go alongside, I adopted her in, and Airi swiftly served me a cup of tea brewed with sizzling water.
Afterward, she, seated throughout the desk, started looking at me with eyes sharper than earlier than.
Um, about dinner
Do you want it?
Ah, no. Really, theres one thing I wished to debate with you, Airi.

Sure, thats proper. Really
You had been going to say youd have dinner with an acquaintance you met after a very long time, and due to this fact, I ought to dine alone tonight, proper?
Ah, sure, thats proper.
Airi, being a fortune teller, should have already recognized what I used to be going to say.
Despite the fact that she often didnt interrupt me like this, listening to every part I needed to say and sharing meals amicably.
Sigh.
A sigh escaped me, feeling perplexed by this inexplicable change in ambiance.
Unable to achieve for the tea she supplied, I requested her with problem, feeling anxious.
Um, Airi
Hyo-sung.
Not even giving me an opportunity to talk.
Airi spoke in a cool tone after taking just a few breaths.
Holding a cup of sizzling tea to mood the rising coldness in her eyes, she continued together with her opinion.
Initially, after getting into the empire, I deliberate to dwell with out owing anybody and proceed wandering the streets. Though I must evade the guards, such hardship is nothing for somebody who can foresee the longer term like me.
Ah, sure. You’re a fortune teller, in any case.
Swoosh. Airi grabbed my hand that was positioned on the desk.
Then she checked out me with a face as if she had been about to cry, placing energy into my hand.
I dont care about your previous. What issues is that it was me you first related with, and its me whos by your aspect now. If the longer term doesnt change, we’ll proceed to be collectively. You already know what this implies, proper?
Sure, sure, Im sure of that.
However since my prophecies arent all the time excellent, I’ll learn your future now and see what occurs to you after this dialog. Will you permit it?
Airi was trembling whereas holding my hand.
This not directly confirmed how anxious she felt, foreseeing a future the place I didnt return.
Frightened whether or not I may need betrayed her, or even when not, maybe I had been caught in some unlucky accident.
Sure, Airi, if that may make you belief me, I’ll willingly agree.
How might I really feel offended by a request from somebody who had given a lot of her coronary heart, looking for belief?
If my emotions for her had been honorable, there was no have to be ashamed of unveiling my future.
Then, thats good.
Quickly after gaining my permission, she started to collect energy in her physique whereas holding my hand.
Ziiing. A faint gentle leaked from her physique, together with a vibrating sound.
The sight of vivid and sensible gentle filling the environment, harking back to a cluster of stars, was one thing I had seen earlier than throughout her frequent prophecies.
Hehe.
And after that process was accomplished, a faint smile fashioned on her lips.
Together with it, as she step by step relaxed, her feelings turned clearer, and she or he let go of my hand.
Sure~ After all~ Hyo-sung wouldnt do such a factor~ Naturally. After this dialog, Hyo-sung will certainly be extra cautious~
Uh So, I return safely sooner or later?
Sure~ It appears theres no want for me to present any recommendation~
What precisely occurred sooner or later with Merilyn that brought on her feelings to fluctuate so quickly?
Was it not my fault, suggesting Merilyn was the one inflicting the issue, or maybe a 3rd social gathering?
Having listened to this dialog and harbored a sure warning, did I stop a future that might have made her anxious, thus easing her temper now?
Oh, proper, youll be late on your appointment if we hold dawdling like this.
However with out her telling me instantly, there was no manner for me to know the longer term.
As I sat there dumbfounded, she obtained up from her seat and commenced to maneuver in direction of the lounge, as if making ready one thing.
Then, youll have your meal outdoors Ah, Ailing put together your out of doors garments. Those we purchased collectively final time ought to do, proper?
What? No, theres no want so that you can put together garments
Its okay~ Ive already put aside the garments so that you can put on.
Sure, being a fortune teller, she should have foreseen and ready my garments upfront.
However Airi, werent you simply anxious about what I’d do?
In the event you had been so involved in regards to the future that you just even warned me, why did you put together garments individually?
Oh proper. May you carry a bottle of wine in your manner again?
Wine?
Hehe, we’ve no busy work tomorrow, so it appears we will spend a late evening collectively~
Ah, I see. She meant to spend a late evening along with some drinks.
However wasnt Airi fairly delicate to alcohol?
The second time we turned intimate was after I invited her over for a modest celebration, and even then, she turned tipsy and made advances in direction of me, but she insisted on getting alcohol
Was she basically planning to intentionally recreate the wild festivities of that evening tonight?
Hehe, you’ll be able to look ahead to tonight.
Whereas I used to be nonetheless stuttering on the thought, Airi, who had even helped me develop into my garments, met me on the entrance.
Then she stepped again and spoke to me, exhibiting a refreshingly nice smile I had by no means seen earlier than.
Take care, Hyo-sung

As soon as on the road, I regarded again on the home I had simply left and took a second to replicate on what had occurred with Airi.

And Airi, whose anger had fully dissipated by the point I used to be leaving.
What precisely was that about?
An issue arose with out me doing something, after which it resolved itself.
What on earth did my future self get into?
