The ancient city of Manya.

The soft and warm morning sun shone on every part of this huge orc city, and most of the inhabitants of the city had already gotten up to do their own things for the day......

............

[Tut wake up...] Come on~]

I don't know why I heard Winya (Mom)'s voice... When I opened my eyes, I saw an unbelievable sight, Winya was sitting on the edge of my bed, looking at me with a peaceful expression.

Why is Mom here? Isn't she in the underworld of Kejie City?

[Mom... Why are you here?Aren't you still at the Black Frame Elder?] I asked Winya who was sitting on the edge of the bed in a skeptical tone.

Hearing what I said, Winya showed a slightly distressed expression, and then she looked at me with a smile on her face, and she didn't know what to say to me.

[Fool, didn't you take me away from there?... Don't you remember?] Winya smiled at me very peacefully......

Why am I not impressed at all???

[Tut, you're finally up!Come and try the breakfast I've made for you!!]

Just as I was thinking about the real and false thing in front of me, a familiar and friendly voice came to my ears......

A petite female goblin walked into the room with a dinner plate, and the moment I saw the female goblin's face, I couldn't help but grow my mouth......

How could she be here? What the hell is this......

[Let's try it!This is what I made for you~]

While I was still wondering where this was, she picked up the bowl of soup and held a spoonful and brought it to my lips.

Not... Is this an illusion or a reality?

[Jieliya, why are you here?If the patriarch knows that you are here, what should the patriarch do?] I asked nervously as I looked at Jieliya who was smiling at me in front of me.

You must know that the patriarch has always guarded his daughter as the most important thing, and if he had known that Geriya had stayed with me without permission, he would have slaughtered me......

[Tut... Don't you know? Today is the most important day between us: our first wedding anniversary~]

At first she pursed her lips and became angry at my question, but after a while she smiled at me again and said something shocking to me......

Knot... Marriage... What are you kidding ?!! the first anniversary!!There must be a mistake there!!

Thinking of this, I walked off the bed with a nervous face, and Winya and Jielia on the side were looking at me as they walked off the bed with some confusion.

[Tut... ］

[Where are you going?]

Winya and Jeria asked me with my back to them at the same time.

Something must be wrong! yes, just get out of this room......

I walked quickly to the door of the room, slowly pushed the closed door open, the soft sunlight instantly shone in, looking at the scenery outside the house, I couldn't help but feel a little stunned......

Outside the house, in the endless green grassland, Fen was lying in a clearing outside the cabin, and beside Fin, a werewolf girl who appeared to be an orc was grooming it.

The werewolf girl neatly brushed the dirty hair on Fin's body with both hands, and she picked up a water spoon while using the brush in her hand to pour the water evenly on Fin's body.

The werewolf girl's movements are very skillful... It's better that she's doing something very easy, and she's humming upbeat music while doing what she's doing......

The wolf ears on her head and the wolf tail that grew between her thighs were swaying gently at the moment, and the werewolf girl who could tell that she was grooming Fin's hair must be in a good mood right now......

[That... May I ask who are you?] Looking at the cheerful back of the werewolf girl, I asked subconsciously.

When the werewolf girl heard my voice, she subconsciously stood up and turned to face me, and when I saw her face, I felt as if my heart seemed to stop for a second.

[Honey, are you awake?] the werewolf girl said with a sweet smile on my face.

Wei... Promise?

I instantly remembered something about this werewolf girl, what the hell was going on... Why did she call me 'dear'?!

Seeing the puzzled look on my face, Wino smiled and continued to crouch down to brush Fin's hair, and just as I was puzzled by the current situation in front of me, Winya and Jeria walked out of the room, and the two of them chatted happily with Wino, who was brushing Fin's hair......

Looking at the scene in front of me, although I still have doubts in my heart, I can't understand that the scene in front of me is very warm.

Mom (Winya), Jalia, and Wino should not know each other, but why do they talk to each other like friends now?

Never mind... It's better not to think about it so much......

I touched my chin with my left hand and looked at the warm and warm scene in front of me with a calm gaze......

［...... That's great. Xiaolian, are you finally happy...... ］

While I was still watching the trio of Winya, Jeria, and Wino chatting with each other as they cooperated with each other to groom Fin's hair, a very happy but sobbing female voice came from behind me.

Hearing the words of this voice, I turned sharply to look at the owner who said this, and when I turned around, I saw someone who could never exist here......

Standing in front of me was a short-haired girl wearing a junior high school uniform, and she was smiling and looking at me in a daze... If you look closely at the corners of this girl's eyes, you can see that there is some redness and swelling, and she is definitely crying just now......

[Takahashi Sakura?] Possible...... I muttered the name of the man in front of me......

[Seeing you so happy... I was relieved. Sakura Takahashi, who was standing in front of me, looked at me with a shocked look on her face and said with a smile.

[Sakura!Where have you been all these years?Why did you leave silently that day?Why didn't you stay?!!]

I watched as Sakura Takahashi in front of me now asked her the question she had wanted to ask in her previous life, and for some reason two wordless tears welled up in my eyes......

[Lian, this is a secret~]

Seeing me in tears, Takahashi Sakura first showed some sadness in her expression, and then she said to me in a calm voice, and after she finished speaking, she gently touched her lips with the index finger of her right hand and made a silent motion.

[Looks like it's time to go...... Goodbye, Lian. ］

Just as I was about to open my mouth to ask Takahashi Sakura other questions, suddenly Takahashi Sakura turned around and walked towards the darkness ahead......

[Wait!Sakura!I have something to say to you, wait!!]

Seeing this, I ran quickly towards Takahashi Sakura, who had already walked some distance, but no matter how much I ran, I couldn't catch up with Takahashi Sakura......

Eventually, everything around them suddenly turned into darkness, and there was nothing left of the grassland and wooden houses......

(Sakura...) I really miss you...... ）

............

――――

"Hey, wake up Tut!!Wake up!!How long are you going to sleep?!"

――――

The pain in my cheeks caused me to open my eyes and sit up from the bed, and Temo was looking at me with an anxious look on his face, and it seemed that he was the one who woke me up.

(It turns out that it just happened...) Is it a dream?)

"Tut, are you having nightmares?" Temo asked with concern as he looked at the pale face and a little wetness around the corners of his eyes.

"It's not a nightmare... It was a beautiful dream with regrets...... "Thinking of Winya, Jeria, Wino and Takahashi Sakura who appeared in the dream earlier, I lowered my head and said in disappointment.

The corners of Temo's mouth curled slightly when I heard what I said, and I saw him pat me on the left shoulder with his left hand.

"Don't think about it so much, go wash up your appearance. I'll take you to visit our orc weapons shop and arena later!" Temo said to me heartily.

Weapons shop, arena? Sounds pretty good!

"Good!"
