I Became a Foreigner Loved by Transcendentalists

Episode 73. Come visit~♥

Marilyn Surge Land.

My first meeting with her was special to me, and so I even felt sorry for her at having to forget her.

I may never see her again, but as she said in the letter she left me, I will have no choice but to pretend that I have forgotten her until we meet again.

“Then, I will stop by your house for a moment and come back.”

“Okay, see you later then~”

I met someone like that again, but I couldn’t let him go back like this.

So, after making an appointment to have a meal and catch up on the current situation, I decided to take some time to disarm myself and catch my breath before returning home.

A simple house located in a residential area where you follow the road leading from the guild, pass the square, and arrive through the city.

Although it was a simple house compared to the recent income, it was much better than the shantytowns mainly used by the poor or the inns exclusively for adventurers.

First of all, there is a yard, and although it is smaller than the second floor, there is a spacious attic that can be used as a storage room or as a room to receive guests in emergencies.

“I never thought I would be able to achieve in this world what I couldn’t achieve even in my previous life: buying my own home.”

Anyway, this can be said to be a great achievement for a first-time adventurer.

But what makes me happier is that there is someone waiting for me when I return home.

Iri Haven.

I received help in many ways, and thanks to that connection, I ended up proposing to live with him. And although I didn’t mention it directly, he was a precious person who became like a companion in my daily life.

“I’m back, kid… ….”

I tried to say that person’s name as soon as I returned home, but my mouth closed as soon as I saw the front door.

Normally she would come out of the kitchen just in time for me and say hello, but she was at her front door even sooner than usual, facing me with her arms crossed.

She didn’t say anything and just kept silently glaring at me with her mouth shut.

“… ….”

“… Mom.”

Yes, he just glared at me without saying anything.

It’s far from his usual friendly and shy attitude, as if he’s dissatisfied with something.

“Hey, kid… ….”

“Please come in.”

She tried to ask if something was wrong, but she just walked ahead toward the kitchen.

What is it? Normally, I would have said hello, but

Did I do something wrong?

“Please eat.”

“Ah, yes. Thank you.”

For now, I followed Airi, who offered me a cup of hot water-brewed tea.

Afterwards, the woman sitting on the other side of the table began to stare at me with her eyes that were sharper than before.

“Well, the meal…” ….”

“Do you need it?”

“Oh, no. Actually, I have something to say to Airi about that.”

“Yes, I know. “You are planning to eat outside today, right?”

“Ah, yes. That’s it. Actually… ….”

“I was going to tell you that I was going to have a meal with an acquaintance I haven’t seen in a while, so I’m sorry, but I was going to tell you that you should eat alone today, right?”

Oh, yes, that’s right.

Airi is a prophet, so you probably know what I’m going to say.

But up to this point, he didn’t stop talking to me, listened to everything I said, and ate the meal in order.

“… Phew.”

The sound of breathing that is made when one feels perplexed by such an incomprehensible change in atmosphere.

I couldn’t help but reach for the car she gave away, so I felt her anxiety and asked her with all my strength.

“Hey, there’s Airi… ….”

“Mr. Hyosung.”

Without even giving me a chance to open my mouth.

After taking a few breaths, Airi lets out a calm voice.

Afterwards, I held a teacup filled with hot water to neutralize the coldness that was gradually building up around her eyes, and she soon began to maintain her opinion.

“Originally, after entering the empire, I planned to continue to live a life of wandering the streets without being indebted to anyone. “I have to go through the trouble of running away from the guards, but for me, who can predict the future, I can’t even count the hardships.”

“Ah, yes. Yes. “Because Mr. Airi is a prophet.”

“But in the eyes of others, I am a suspicious person, and that is why I feel grateful to Mr. Hyosung, who believed my prophecy without question. “I originally planned to continue living a wandering life, but the reason I accepted Hyosung’s offer and moved in with him was also out of gratitude and trust.”

“Yes. Well, I really appreciate your help in so many ways…….”

“As I said, Hyosung was able to grow more stably and faster than expected through my prophecy. In the end, the present where we have established a home for each other can be said to be the result of our fate being changed through my prophecy. “It was unintentional at first, but after future modifications, we ended up moving in a positive direction for both sides.”

Iri continues speaking clearly and without any hesitation.

It felt businesslike and mechanical, as if I was reading a prepared script.

As if I had considered what I was going to say from the beginning and prepared my current words accordingly.

“It’s different from what I planned, but it doesn’t mean I don’t like living with Hyosung. No, on the contrary, I am very satisfied with my life now.”

However, while he seemed to be maintaining his composure, his hands on the table were wiggling repeatedly as if he was worried about something.

“Now that I have my own home, I don’t have to go through the trouble of making predictions one by one while feeling threatened for my life, and my tired mind from carrying out my mission can be soothed just by having someone I can rely on by my side. Because they hugged each other kindly even when they could afford it…….”

The moment when the hardness that had been maintained all along was disturbed for just a moment.

Afterwards, she lowered her head, her face blushing, and her eyes slowly turned towards me and asked me carefully.

“…I’m not the only one who liked it, right?”

-Gulp.

I swallow saliva reflexively in my dry throat.

When I realized that even that wasn’t enough to quench my thirst, I answered quietly, bringing the teacup to my mouth.

“Oh, no. I liked it too. Yes… ….”

Isn’t it strange to dislike it?

It’s still too early to make a decision, but if I think about her future, I have a desire to have her become my companion.

“… Great. So what I’m going to say from now on is that I’m asking this on the premise that we never take each other lightly and that we both understand that.”

Those feelings are the same.

She taught me that she is even considering more than just a relationship whenever she gets the chance, and as soon as she drank her tea, she turned to me and told me about the anxiety she had been mulling over. .

“Mr. Hyosung. Normally, you would have said this to me at this time. “I said I would come over for a meal with a ‘female’ acquaintance with whom I had unfortunately parted ways in the past to share the joy of her reunion.”

-Gulp.

“Mr. Hyosung kept it in his heart and expressed his feelings… …. This is what you were trying to say about someone with whom you are close enough to even suggest living together. “I said I would have such a special time, even skipping the meal time we always had together, to have a meal with ‘another woman.'”

-Gulp, gulp!

The moment when the water that was boiling just moments ago burns the esophagus as if it were burning.

Still, I couldn’t bring myself to complain about the heat there.

Even at this moment, the heat of the hot water, which seemed to burn her stomach, was unable to neutralize the cold energy she was giving off.

“How do you think my future self would have reacted when I saw him say so thoughtlessly that he was going to meet a woman other than me?”

It was only then that I realized how dangerous it was to have a light meal with Marylin.

No, it wasn’t something I did lightly in the first place.

It’s just not as much as Airi’s now, but it’s undeniable that I also had ‘those feelings’ for Marylin at one time.

“That… ….”

“I know. “She is also the person I met through my prophecy.”

“Yes, I know…” ….”

“I know everything. “Marilyn Sugerland’s name, and the vague information about her past that came up when she divined you.”

Yes, you know everything. I’m glad the story went faster because I didn’t have to explain every detail…….

No matter what, I can’t get used to it because I don’t know what happened in the future. Could you slow down the tempo of the conversation a little?

“But the most important thing is that I, who had been waiting for you to return from meeting that person, ended up facing the result that ‘you didn’t come back until after tonight.'”

But the future prophecy that follows.

It was enough to completely suppress my embarrassment.

“Yes, yes?”

“I don’t even know why. “When Hyosung is not around, what I can predict is my future, not Hyosung’s future.”

Oh, that’s right.

No matter how much she is a prophet, the only thing she can prophesy about are those within her power.

Of course, you can confirm your future that suits you, but you cannot confirm on your own why your future self does not return to you.

“If I had to guess… …. Yes, it’s probably because Hyosung was hanging out with that acquaintance and something went wrong.”

“Problem, you say?”

Could it be an attack or an accident?

“For example, after having a quick drink with that person, you get drunk and head to an inn.”

“… Yes?”

“No, maybe there was no need for alcohol. Maybe we just did what each other wanted. Even though I am……. “Even though I’m waiting for you to return.”

“Oh, no, there. Mr. Airi. That kind of thing…….”

“So, Hyosung. “I think this is necessary.”

Sureuk. Airi holds my hand as I put it down on the table.

After that, she looked at me with a face that looked like she was going to cry at any moment, and started putting pressure on my hands.

“… I don’t care what your past is. What’s important is that I was the one who first connected with you and the one who is by your side now, and if the future doesn’t change, we will continue to be together in the future. “You know what this means, right?”

“Yes, yes. “I know for sure.”

“But my predictions are not always perfect, so from now on, I will read Hyosung’s future and see what will happen to Hyosung after this conversation. “You can give me permission, right?”

Iri is shaking while holding hands.

I was able to indirectly realize how anxious she felt as she predicted a future in which I would not return.

Have I betrayed myself at least once? Or even if it wasn’t, I was worried that I might have been involved in an unfortunate accident.

“… Yes, if Airi can trust me with that, I’m willing.”

This is a request made out of trust by the person who gave me so much of my heart, so how could I be offended?

If her feelings for her are honest, there is no need to feel embarrassed about revealing my future to her.

“Okay then.”

She immediately asked my permission, and while holding my hand, she began to gather strength into her body.

Jiying. Light leaks faintly from her body along with a vibrating sound.

The sight of a bright, bright light filling the surroundings, like a cluster of stars, was something I often saw when making prophecies.

“… hehehehe.”

And after the work is finished, a faint smile is drawn on the corner of the mouth.

She gradually relaxed with him, and her feelings became more vivid and she let go of her hand from me.

“Yes~ That’s right~ Mr. Hyosung wouldn’t do that~ It’s okay. “If we had had a conversation like this, Hyosung would have become more alert.”

“Uh… …. “Has my future self returned safely?”

“Yes~ I don’t think I need to give you any advice at this level~”

… What on earth happened to future me, Marylin, that caused her emotions to change so drastically?

No, if you don’t think the problem is with me, does that mean that the problem is on Marylin’s part? Or a third party?

Is it because I, listening to the current conversation and feeling a certain sense of caution, have blocked out any future that would make her anxious, and that has made her feel relieved now?

“Oh, by the way, if you flirt like this, you’ll be late for your appointment.”

But if she doesn’t tell me directly, I have no way of knowing the future.

As she sat there in a daze, the woman in front of her raised her body from her seat and started moving her feet towards her living room as if she was preparing for something.

“Then let’s say you eat outside and then come back…” …. Oh, I’ll prepare clothes for going out. “It would be okay if we went shopping together the other day, right?”

“Yes? No, you don’t need to prepare clothes…….”

“It’s okay~ I’ve already taken out the clothes for Hyosung to wear.”

Yes, since you are a prophet, you were able to save the clothes I would wear in advance.

By the way, Airi, weren’t you anxious about what I might do just now?

If you were to give direct attention, it seemed like you had no intention of sending it away depending on what happened in the future, so why on earth did you leave the clothes separately?

“Oh, indeed. “Can you buy me a bottle of wine on the way back?”

“… “Wine?”

“hehehe, since we won’t be busy tomorrow, I think we can hang out until late at night~”

Oh yes. What you’re saying is that you’re going to drink alcohol and stay up until late at night.

By the way, Airi, weren’t you quite weak to alcohol?

The second time I had s*x was for a small celebration when I invited him to this house, but even though I knew he was drunk that time and attacked me, he brought me alcohol…

Doesn’t this mean that the crazy festival that took place that day will actually be held tonight on purpose?

“hehehe, you can look forward to tonight.”

Just as I was thinking about that, Airi came face to face with me at the entrance after changing her clothes herself.

Afterwards, she took a step back and spoke to me.

Showing a very refreshing smile that I have never seen before.

“Please come back, Mr. Hyosung~&”

“Ah, yes. “I’ll be back.”

I suddenly said hello, then suddenly left the front door and closed the door.

I soon came out onto the street, looked back at the house I had left, and had time to reflect on what had happened with Airi.

Iri was extremely angry as soon as she returned home.

And by the time I leave home, Airi is completely relieved of her anger.

“…What on earth is it?”

I didn’t do anything, but a problem arose and the problem was solved.

What on earth was my future self doing?
