“Whoa?!”

When I attacked, Petra was startled.

“shi, shi-an, what are you doing?”

“Petra I’ve been wondering about something for a while now.”

Instead of answering Petra’s question, I said what I wanted to say.

“You’ve been calling me a pervert since a while ago, but you knew I was a pervert and still followed me? And you even went to the dark forest where I couldn’t get help?”

“…..”

Petra did not answer my question easily.

Well, the fact that Petra found out and followed me means that she has some feelings for me, and if I deny that, she’ll be denying what she said earlier.

‘Petra, you’re still in puberty, so you’re still far from being able to beat me with logic.’

I was amused by the thought of how embarrassed Petra would be, but Petra’s competitive spirit was stronger than I expected, and she did not easily admit defeat.

“That’s right.”

“ in?”

“I followed you expecting you to come at me.”

“???”

The unexpected answer left me speechless.

Does this guy know what he’s talking about?

“But I thought I wouldn’t get horny since I don’t have any feminine qualities.”

“….”

As if she didn’t want to admit it, she slyly avoided me and handed over the initiative to me.

As if to say, it’s not me who has feelings, it’s you.

It was childish, immature logic.

I wondered if it was okay for a grown adult to be like this, but I was just as childish and competitive as her.

“That’s right.”

“Ugh?!”

When we brought our faces close enough that our breaths could touch each other, Petra’s face began to turn red in surprise.

“Just like you said, I’m a horny man who goes crazy when I see a woman.”

“City, city? Okay, wait a minute… ”

“It’s Dapetra’s fault. I tolerated it because we were friends, but I couldn’t stand it if you provoked me like that.”

When I took off my clothes, Petra was startled and reached out her arms to stop me.

“Cyan! I, I’m not ready yet.”

“Okay, who wants to provoke me?”

“Ah, I got it! I was wrong! Because I was wrong!”

Petra ended up weeping and apologizing for my direct attack.

As I pushed her, Petra showed a girlish side, different from her usual appearance.

“Don’t ignore adults from now on.”

“…bad boy.”

“Petra, you’re still not completely awake.”

“Oh, no. I missed the point.”

As I looked, Petra surrendered immediately.

Tom, I corrected your daughter’s temper for you.

“Childish!

“You were the one who was childish first.”

Petra began to grumble, wondering if her temper had not completely recovered yet.

“You’re a man. Give in once in a while.”

“There’s no reason you have to give in just because you’re a man.”

“My dad said a man should give in to a woman.”

“That only applies to your own woman. It doesn’t apply to other people’s women.”

“Ugh… ”

Petra didn’t seem to like what I said, and suddenly went into her sleeping bag.

“Are you sleeping?”

“Don’t talk to me.”

It looks like it’s really crooked.

“Sigh… .”

I sighed and quietly approached Petra.

Then he called her cautiously.

“Petra.”

“Why?!”

“Do you like me?”

“Hah?!”

Petra blushed, as if she was offended by what I said, and started talking back to me.

It works well.

“What, what are you talking about!”

“I was just asking, why are you so excited?”

“You don’t look excited!”

The fresh and lively reaction felt somehow refreshing.

Come to think of it, the women around me are a bit older.

Except for my wife, Chloe, they were all older than me, and even Chloe, who was the same age as me, had a mature side to her, so she didn’t have that unique, innocent feeling.

Compared to him, Petra was younger than me and had a childish personality.

Maybe that’s why Petra was so fun to tease.

“I, I like you! That, that can’t be happening!”

“Your voice is shaking?”

“That’s because you were the one saying something weird first!”

“Really? Then what’s the answer? Do you like it? Do you hate it?”

“Of course… ”

“ time?”

“I don’t want to answer!”

Instead of answering, Petra responded with her fist.

Of course, I wasn’t weak enough to be hit by the blacksmith girl’s fist.

“Petra, keep your voice down. Even though Giant Ants aren’t very sensitive to hearing, they’re going to come at you at this rate.”

“Be quiet!”

Petra, who attacked me with a hammer, tried hard to hide his shame.

I tried to calm her down, but the girl’s mind was already open, so it wasn’t easy, and we ended up playing tag in the underground tunnel in the middle of the night.

…

“I’m so sleepy.”

“Yeah, I told you to grow up a bit.”

“Who is responsible for this!”

It was only around lunchtime the next day that Petra and I were able to emerge from the underground tunnel.

‘I’m going to go around the entire tunnel.’

Perhaps because the race war between the Giant Ants had been going on for a long time, the underground tunnels were completely different from when I visited.

I couldn’t come out until I memorized all the paths, so it inevitably took more time.

The only good thing is that we obtained black iron and several precious minerals.

The problem was separate.

“Petra, stop it and calm down.”

“I don’t want to talk to you.”

Yesterday, Petra was firmly in a state of disarray.

“You’re not a kid, how long are you going to whine?”

“Huh!”

Now, I don’t even want to have a conversation.

Tom, what kind of fight were you in?

“Haa… Okay. I was wrong. Please forgive me.”

“Without clothes?”

“Then, give me something?”

“Of course! You played with my heart.”

“???”

There was no room for her mother, but she endured it with adult patience.

‘Ciel shouldn’t grow up so stubborn.’

He’s only one year old now, but I was already worried.

Although her appearance resembles Chloe’s, her personality secretly resembles mine.

My daughter has a personality just like mine… I felt like she would understand Tom’s feelings.

“Let’s go to our house in the forest first.”

“Why don’t you go to the village right away? I’m tired.”

“I want to do that too, but the distance is too short.”

It’s too late to go to town.

‘If I stop time at Petra and run while holding it, we’ll get there in no time.’

Petra strongly refused.

Well, I understand. It wouldn’t be an easy decision for a virgin to surrender her body to a man while unconscious.

‘There’s no rush right now anyway.”

I was caught by a monster worm deep underground in the dark forest, but there was nothing I could do about it in the current situation.

‘We must let go before receiving support from the royal family and the Holy Kingdom.’

Fortunately, he was a quiet guy and didn’t seem to have any signs of going on a rampage.

And there was one more reason to visit the house in the forest.

“There’s also Pitom’s errands anyway.”

“Oh, that’s right.”

Tom entrusted Petra with the care of his friend’s grave while she was going to the Dark Forest.

“But do I have to do that? Drinking alcohol at a gravesite… ”

“Tom down choice.”

So Petra and I headed to the old house where my father and I lived.

The safest place in the Dark Forest, and the place with the hot springs.

“Is there a road here?”

“Oh, you made it just as you asked.”

“Cyan, did you do this too?”

“Yeah, there’s a bear that’ll do the work if you give it alcohol.”

“What is that?”

Petra was dumbfounded by my answer, but I couldn’t tell her the details.

Because the spear in the dark forest is confidential information.

Especially not to those from the village of Lugeron.

“If the road connects to the village, the villagers will be able to enjoy the hot springs.”

“Hot springs? Is there something like that here?”

“Do you know what hot spring is called Petra?”

“I know. It’s a stream with hot water. How many times did Ian brag to his father that there was a hot spring at his house?”

I also felt strange seeing my father’s appearance without me knowing.

“Even father was childish at one time.”

“You’re more childish, and I’m sleepy.”

Petra, who had an average physique unlike me, was already exhausted from staying up all night.

“It’s a little early, do you want to cut it?”

“Yeah.”

Petra lay down on the bed right away, feeling more relaxed than when she was in the underground tunnel.

“Hmm, this blanket smells familiar.”

“That’s the bed I used.”

“Ugh, I feel sick.”

“Then do you want to use a different bed?”

“Okay. It’s annoying.”

Petra said no with her mouth and quickly fell asleep on the bed I had been using.

It looks like you were that tired.

On the other hand, Titan got up from his seat to work tirelessly.

‘It’s a safe place, so there’s no need to worry.’

Just in case, I kissed Petra on the forehead.

The miracle of protecting the family is a miracle that can only be performed with a certain amount of affection.

“I feel safe with this.”

As I had some free time, I headed straight to the hot springs.

…

“…You bad boy.”

As soon as Cyan went outside, Petra got up from her exhaustion.

My tired body was screaming and crying, but my heart started beating so fast that I couldn’t sleep even though I wanted to.

“If this keeps up, I won’t be able to sleep.”

Petra touched her forehead secretly while cursing Sian. She could still feel his touch.

“Eeee!

Finally, Petra, unable to bear it any longer, started to rampage on the bed.
