“What do you think..? Do you think my usual self and my current self.. have changed a lot..?”

After much deliberation, Camilla used her powers as a warrior to go to the market with him and changed her appearance in front of him using magic. Her new appearance was completely different from Camilla’s, and she was just like anyone else.

She had beautiful, shoulder-length, curly hair, but it changed to short, blue hair.

Her sky-blue eyes, which used to sparkle as if they contained the blue sky, also lost their color and turned a dull black.

Her body also became smaller than usual, and her rough hands, once covered in calluses from holding the holy sword, had transformed into the hands of a normal human.

She had changed so much that he wouldn’t have recognized her if he hadn’t witnessed her transformation right before his eyes.

Her appearance seemed small and precious, as if it awakened the protective instinct inherent in men’s hearts.

Camilla, whose appearance had changed, was so small and beautiful that Raon couldn’t take his eyes off her.

Camilla noticed his gaze and spoke to him in a voice that seemed a little less confident.

“As expected.. Raon-ssi also likes small and petite women rather than big and calloused women..”

Camilla’s face as she said these words was not good even with empty words.

It must have been nice that he, and no one else, was looking at her for so long.

Since she had a rational mind towards him, it was impossible for her not to like this gaze of his, but at this moment, she hated this gaze of his.

She is currently disguised as someone who does not exist in this world, hiding her true appearance with magic.

The fact that Raon was staring at her in that state was enough to cause her to misunderstand, and she looked at him with a slightly upset look.

“That’s right. I was just watching for a long time because I was amazed at how much change could be done with just one spell. And…”

“And…?”

“I like Camilla’s appearance better than her current appearance… I like Camilla’s appearance with her rough hands and beautiful white hair that I know well…”

She couldn’t stop her face from burning and turning red at Raon’s sincere words that followed.

Of course, there was a convenient magic among the magic that could control facial expressions as desired, but even if she used it, it was difficult to hide her red face.

Her face was like that of an ordinary woman in love, not knowing what to do, her eyes rolling around, unable to stay in one place.

Raon also blushed after saying these words, perhaps because he felt embarrassed.

The two people who realized each other’s true feelings didn’t feel so bad.

Only after quite some time had passed were the two finally able to escape from the house.

***

“This is the closest town and market to my house.”

After leaving home and climbing down the mountain for a long time, the two soon arrived at a market crowded with people.

Raon, who had come down to this village several times to buy daily necessities, naturally became her guide and told her about the markets in the village.

Having been wandering the streets for a long time, he thought he would know relatively little about the town and the market, so he acted as if this place would be low-level to Camilla.

Contrary to his thoughts, Camilla knew more about this town and its market than he did.

Because before coming to his house, she lived and stayed in this village.

For Camilla, who had been living on the cold streets, this was practically a living, a place she never wanted to return to.

At the same time, it was a place that brought her great despair.

Because it was the village that told her that even though she had saved everyone from the darkness, all she got in return was cold eyes of contempt and disgust, even though she had lost everything.

That’s why Camilla, whose memories of the past came back to her, felt like she was gradually losing her mind as the cold stares and harsh words she had received from the townspeople for years filled her head, as if she was falling into an endless sea.

[Tub.]

Just before her mind fell into the bottomless sea, Raon grabbed her hand, and she was barely able to come to her senses thanks to his actions.

It felt as if she was falling into a deep sea where no light could enter, but she was able to regain consciousness thanks to his touch.

Camilla looked at him who suddenly grabbed her hand.

At her gaze, Raon blushed in embarrassment and told her the reason.

“Right now, people shopping and people selling things are all mixed up here, so if you’re not careful, you might lose each other. So…so that you don’t lose each other. How about holding hands? ”

The reason was this.

Today, there were a lot of people crowded in the market, and if we made a mistake, we could lose each other.

He was trying to block this possibility itself, because it was clear that if they lost each other in this vast market, it would take a considerable amount of time to find each other again.

She nodded as if she understood what he said.

This was the first place she had ever been to, if only she could hold his hand and walk through the market together.

She accepted it because it was a good opportunity to subtly show that this man was her man.

She held Raon’s hand, which was carefully holding hers, tightly, and pressed it so that there was no empty space left.

Raon, surprised by her proactive behavior, looked at her, but soon tried to hide his reddened face and held her hands tightly like hers.

Before they even entered the market in earnest, the two of them moved forward with their hearts full of excitement, leaving the pain of the past behind them.

***

The two people entered the crowded market.

The market was crowded with more people than they had expected, and Raon and Camilla, worried that they might lose each other in the crowd, ended up walking arm in arm.

The two people who adopted this method thought that they might lose each other if they just vaguely held hands, but their appearance also seemed like that of a couple who truly loved and cherished each other.

The hands of two people linking arms. An ambiguous gait that is neither fast nor slow.

The whole situation was so awkward and exciting for the two of them.

The two people, who were walking around the market together with their bodies pressed against each other, walked around selecting things they needed for the house.

Indeed, the daily life she spent with him was like a treasure to her that could not be exchanged for anything in the world.

This is the place that brought her indelible shame and despair in the past.

It was a hellish place she never wanted to return to, where she saved everyone and was abandoned by everyone, but her heart was broken.

Walking around this place with him, body to body, the things I had seen every day looked new and different.

Even when she was chatting with him and discussing things, even when she was worried about what to buy, she was genuinely happy.

He was also happy just to be able to be with her.

This moment when we are looking at each other and enjoying each other’s joy.

The two of them really looked like a couple.

The two people who walked around the market without letting go of each other’s hands were only able to finish their long shopping trip after the bright sun had set and the sunset had risen.

Since they were no longer alone, the two of them thought of each other and bought things they needed for the house.

There were two people who bought quite a lot of tools and ingredients.

“While I was here, I wanted to buy some bedding for myself, but unfortunately I can’t buy it because my budget is limited.”

Because he exceeded the budget he had brought with him when he left home, Raon was unable to purchase bedding, which was one of the reasons he had come down to the market.

However, the two people still bought fairly decent items and food and had no complaints.

Since Raon was someone who slept well even without bedding, he didn’t feel particularly disappointed.

So the two quickly returned home before the sunset.

Although the two of them walked at a slow pace because they had a lot of luggage, they quickly climbed the mountain and headed to the remote area where his house was located.

In this way, the two were able to arrive home before the sun completely set on the mountain.
