《I can't believe my fiance chose me to be her cheat when she was summoned to another world》
Chapter 0
Chapter 0
I really didn¡¯t understand why we were doing this, but meh, who knows this could all turn out to be something important to us a couple years down the line. That whole memory building thing.
Then again, I¡¯ve always thought that a wedding should be done how the two parties involved envisioned it. Not this stupid distorted image that our relatives wanted. We weren¡¯t some stupid spectacle for them to feast their eyes on. But then again¡
They were the ones paying for it. And while I knew that I definitely didn¡¯t need rose gold silverware, in a few years nothing says I can¡¯t sell it to fatten our pockets and use it for when we end up expecting. Plus it might not hurt to indulge a little bit in the rich life, especially when you were using someone else''s money that they freely gave to do as you please with. Who knows when the next opportunity to splurge like this would come.
Though maybe, just maybe, I should stop worrying about the waste of time that¡¯s been this month and focus a little more on finishing the current task at hand.
¡°Hey babe. I know its really cute when you space out and all that, but could you please move your perfect butt forward. We have an appointment in ten and it takes that long to walk there from here.¡±
Instantly my mind clears. Yes listen to the missus. Follow what my to-be-wife wants to do. Gladly. (*Note this is not sarcasm. Real shocker, especially coming from me. But yes this woman is definetely the love of my life and annoyance at the wedding aside, I can¡¯t wait to legally make this woman mine. I know she feels the same but it¡¯d be nice to have the recognition from the rest of society agreeing that she¡¯s mine and only mine.)
I would have probably continued on that streak of how lucky I am and how much I can¡¯t wait for the future to come, that is I didn¡¯t just feel a reverberating thud coming straight from my ass all the way up my spine. A case of content theft: this narrative is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.
¡°Yes! I understand! Forward march! Your wish is forever my command Princess! Your brave knight shall now lead the way forward onto the street!¡± I then followed the action by swiftly grabbing her hand and leading our way across the street right before the street light turned green.
Of course I did make a note that her wonderful brown eyes narrowed a little. I might have gone a little bit too far with the last comment but can¡¯t take it back now. God damn time, why must you only move forward! Then again¡ she¡¯s also looking kinda hot right now. Damn my brain, why does she so easily make it sway?
I blame her beauty. Of course thankfully, in my perspective, it was not the ¡®classical¡¯ kind of beauty. Her kind of beauty fit perfectly to what I loved about her. Her beauty came from inside. Her kindness in the actions she took to show just how much she cared for me. The small smile that graced her lips whenever I managed to make her feel just a little bit of amusement. The way light played in what she dubbed ¡®poop brown¡¯ but to me that I found more depth and levels that made me fall more and more in love every time I stared into them.
Shit. Fuck. Damn.
I really loved this woman.
Like why the hell am I bothering with all this stupid shit to go through a wedding that neither of us really picture when we think of ourselves? Why do we have to make this stupid appointment for a damn florist that''s going to charge more than three times what the normally would for the same exact flowers just because it''s for a fucking wedding?
Why?
Just why?
Because fucking hell, I¡¯d probably do even worse things if it made everyone accept us getting together. I seriously want this to work out and I¡¯m going to do my damn worst to make sure that this all works out.
Of course thinking about this now, I should probably stop overthinking things. Especially when I¡¯m trying to cross the street. This can be dangerous. Particularly when you¡¯re in a city that can¡¯t seem to realize that other people exist beyond themselves.
So yeah, it might not come as a surprise at this point but yeah, due to some a little higher chance cause of stupid ass people, a truck came out of ¡®nowhere¡¯ (at least from my spaced out perspective because I never saw it turn the corner) and hit us.
Chapter 0.5
Chapter 0.5
Soon after the truck hit, everything went black and nothing could be seen for quite a while. Or was it shortly, time seemed to feel off and distorted. All that she knew was that after a period of time passed, she could open her eyes again. Whether that time was a second, a minute, hours, days, or even years; she would never know.
In front of her there was a figure which she could barely make out. Weirdly enough even though there were purple lights streaking inside their hood, the figure¡¯s face was completely obscured by a deep shadow. The black hoodie they wore was surprisingly modern looking on top of what seemed to be a simple pair of washed out jeans.
¡°Sadie.¡±
She couldn¡¯t help but quickly look up to where she assumed the figures eyes were when they said her name. It was weird how even hearing them speak didn¡¯t cue her into what the gender of the figure before her could be.
¡°W-What? How do you know my name?¡± How she hated that her voice broke a little. That one break ruined any chance she had of not seeming nervous.Love what you''re reading? Discover and support the author on the platform they originally published on.
¡°Could you stop being so nervous? Its annoying. I promise I don¡¯t bite...much. I need you for a little request though.¡± Bright teeth could be seen shining beneath the hood. Bright with pointed canines that seemed to shine unnaturally.
¡°Request?¡± She really didn¡¯t like the sound of a request from a mysterious figure with glowing hair and teeth.
¡°Yes a request. You are going to be sent to a new world. One filled with fantasy and magic just like those pathetic stories and shows you wasted your life watching. My request is that you do something simple for me. If you can do that then I will grant you my blessing and give you what you would call a ¡®cheat¡¯ so that you can fulfill it.¡±
Ummmmmm. That doesn¡¯t really explain much at all.
¡°Will you fulfill my request?¡±
I¡¯m starting to really wonder what this request even entails. Considering that the figure still hasn¡¯t told her anything about what she¡¯d have to even do to complete their request.
¡°Are you sure you should be dawdling as you are? Your lover doesn¡¯t have that much more time left to survive.¡±
At that she jerked her head. ¡°They¡¯re still alive?¡±
¡°Yes, but not for long. Your decision?¡±
Her eyes narrowed and a strong determination welled up inside, ¡°Sign me up for whatever your request is.¡±
Chapter 1
Chapter 1
The last thing I remembered was having a ridiculous string of thoughts as a truck came as it hit me and Sadie. Not one of my brighter moments. That definitely could have gone a lot better. While I can¡¯t change what has already been done, I might as well try and learn to not let myself be distracted to the point that I completely forget my surroundings.
Speaking of, why is Sadie standing near a mysteriously hooded figure with ominously glowing features? That doesn¡¯t seem very safe.
¡°Babe? Why is there a mysterious figure with glowy teeth and hair? Its kinda weird. And for that matter where the heck are we even?¡±
Before she could even speak a word in response the figure spoke. ¡°How about I answer your questions instead of your babe. It¡¯ll go a lot quicker and I would rather not waste anymore time dealing with you two.¡±
¡°I mean I guess? I mean I¡¯d rather hear it in her beautiful voice. But if you¡¯re going to be so rude, I don¡¯t want to waste my time on you either then.¡±
¡°That works for me. Basically long story short, your fiance is going to be summoned as the hero of another world and I decided to give her my blessing for a small favor. And so she chose, out of everything, for you to be her ¡®cheat¡¯ as she is in this new world. Of course, considering you¡¯re supposed to be a cheat I think you might be a little to weak.¡± The voice laughed as they decided to make a hurtfully accurate statement. Apparently that wasn¡¯t the end of what they had to say though as once they finished laughing they continued. ¡°Don¡¯t worry though, I¡¯ll be lenient to you two lovebirds and give you both my blessings.¡±
I really didn¡¯t know how to respond to that. I guess I should just try my best and give my most eloquent response that I can think up on the spot.
¡°Uhhhh, thanks?¡± A small grimace too just to perfect my socially awkward response.
Perfect.
Exactly what I picture when I think of full of suave and grace.
God I really don¡¯t act my age. Maybe I really should have gone back to school. That could have helped me get over my social awkwardness. Nah. Whom I kidding, nothing could help me. I¡¯m unrepairable. Then again don¡¯t fix what ain¡¯t broke, and I¡¯ve always claimed I¡¯m not broken¡Help support creative writers by finding and reading their stories on the original site.
...Wait?
Let me just backtrack a little bit¡
¡¡±Are you God?¡± Oh shit, I just said that out loud. Fuck. Did I just break some super secret thing that wasn¡¯t supposed to be mentioned?
Thankfully nothing really changed in the demeanor of the figure before me. (Though honestly I¡¯ve never been very good at reading body language. And I highly doubt I¡¯d be able to notice the subtle difference between a fully clothed stranger¡¯s posture enough to actually guess their emotions.) ¡°God? I guess some might refer to our kinds as such. I¡¯m simply a Lorde. A being so powerful I could kill you with a blink if I so choose it. But that¡¯s always been a boring option, I¡¯ve always preferred a more personal method. Though that is a degression and I believe you¡¯re asking that for a more stupid reason.¡±
¡°I mean, you don¡¯t have to call it a stupid reason but yeah. I guess I was asking it for another reason.¡±
Well that¡¯s really weird, I can literally feel their eyes glaring at me. ¡°And that would be? You speak as though I am a mind reader.¡±
¡°Wait, you¡¯re a god and you can¡¯t read my mind? Wait you said kinds¡ Does that mean there are more of you? Do they all glow like you? How did you make me feel your eyes on me? What¡¯s with the hoodie? Is it a fashion statement? Do you have your hood up because you¡¯re horribly disfigured? Can I get glowy hair like-¡±
The figure just looked once again and my lips immediately stopped. Air suddenly left my lungs and I could no longer take in any breaths. No matter how much I willed my body to listen it refused to respond. Soon lights started to flash and I felt myself almost losing consciousness.
Their mouth formed into a small smirk as they looked at me again. This time though I didn¡¯t feel the same pressure and instead actually felt the pressure release. Air immediately filling my lungs as I tried to prevent myself from collapsing onto the nonexistent floor.
¡°Good now you¡¯ve stopped. Has anyone ever told you that your existence in and of itself is a regretful thing? And no please don¡¯t respond. I¡¯d rather not hear your irritating voice ever again for the rest of my very long life. And to answer your questions, I refuse to humor them and give you and answer. In fact, I refuse to humor your presence any longer. You¡¯ve ruined your chance to get anything else from me. Enjoy your new world.¡±
After that the figure moved for the first time ever since I first showed up, and flicked the air in front of them.
Only it wasn¡¯t that simple and with that flick both me and Sadie disappeared. I felt and saw myself disintegrating into billions of tiny flecks. Each part of me seperating further and further into tinier speaks. All while fully aware of each of every piece of me. Fuck.
FUck. FUCK. FucCcK. FUcKKK. FuCkK. This shit hurts so much. As I became smaller and yet more I became unable to keep my thoughts together. Finally at last blanking out.
Chapter 2
Chapter 2
¡°FUCK! THAT HURT!¡±
Why has the going trend been me making stupid decisions? I really need to learn how to think before I do stupid shit. Like fuck, shit, damn that fucking hurt. I¡¯m one hundred percent certain that not even giving birth compares to that. It¡¯s probably not even a thousandth, no, not even a ten thousandth of the pain I just felt. I¡¯m not planning on giving birth anytime soon though. Wait.
¡°Sadie? Are you okay?¡±
Thankfully soon after I called her name her cute head popped just around the corner. A little curl of black hair blowing straight over her face.
¡°Good I¡¯m happy you¡¯re okay.¡± I check her over and move my hands to pull her in different angles just to be sure.
¡°Are you okay babe? I¡¯d like to hear you say it from your mouth instead of what I can tell from looking at you,¡±
She looks deep into my eyes and shakes her head up and down. If I wasn¡¯t paying attention to her face though I probably would have never noticed the small tears glistening the corners of her eyes.
That bitch.
¡°Did she make it hurt just as badly for you?¡±
After momentary confusion, Sadie shakes her head. ¡°No babe. No. You just haven¡¯t been awake for the past several hours and I got worried that you weren¡¯t going to wake up at all. I started to regret asking if you could come with me. Why did I have to ask her to bring you with me? You would have still been alive and been able to live on happily even after I passed away.¡±
My heart seems to twist in on itself. Why out of everything did she think that?
¡°Babe, you know that isn¡¯t true. That is just the stress talking to you, telling you things that would never happen. I would have been broken without you in my life. You know that. Please never question how much I love you okay? I would have never been able to get over you and would have gone to my grave loving you.¡±
I couldn¡¯t help but grab her close and hold her in my embrace. Her small body fitting perfectly into my arms as I nestled my head closer to the side of her head. I could resist the urge to blow lightly into her ear as I finished my thoughts. ¡°You are the love of my life and I could never be with anyone else. You bring my life the greatest joy I could ever ask for.¡±
She then yelped cutely in response and I couldn¡¯t help but nibble her ear when I pulled away from her body.
¡°So babe, never forget that I love you. I love you too much to let you ever even think about leaving me behind.¡±
With a small hum, Sadie nodded her head. Muttering she continued in a more positive fashion, ¡°Well don¡¯t forget that I love you as well okay? My biggest regret would be you not being just as happy as you make me okay?¡± After she said that though her adorable face stared up at mine briefly and seemed to just twist into my favorite expression of hers. How is it possible to smile so sweetly and beautifully enough that it just makes my insides flutter? Gods I love her.
Of course I probably broke out into a goofy grin as well because her expression just continued to become more and more sweet. We probably stayed like that for a few minutes until eventually we calmed down a little. I then pulled her down and sat her down on my lap.
It was only then that I realized that we were currently inside a cave that had a small roughly carved statue of a hooded figure. There were a few of stalactites and stalagmites surrounding us but overall the area around gave a comfortable amount of space to move about. To the side a shallow pool with a glowing magical circle carved within its depths.
I couldn¡¯t contain my curiosity anymore as I twisted my face closer to Sadie¡¯s. ¡°So what can you tell me about what happened? Do you know where we are or if we have any special powers?¡±
She nodded.
¡°Mhhm. Yeah before you showed up I was able to talk over what I¡¯m supposed to be doing in this world. And I was given a few tips on how to get stronger and stuff. And look-¡± She held up her hand, causing a small notebook to appear out of thin air. ¡°-, we gained a pseudo inventory skill. It¡¯s not unlimited and the amount we can carry is based off of our stats but it''s better than having to lug around our entire supplies.¡±
¡°Oh and you¡¯ll definitely get a kick out of this next part. Say the phrase everyone who takes part in an isekai at least tries once.¡±
I felt a giggle burst out of my throat as the little part of me that still is going through 7th grader syndrome says, ¡°Status.¡±
At that a small partially see through window shows up in front of my face.

I see a [+] button. This means there must be more¡
In fact! I see many [+] buttons.
I can¡¯t resist. I push my finger forward and press the first [+] button besides the status window. Of course it doesn¡¯t really bring up much else. All it really gives me is my gender, how much fame I¡¯ve accumulated(Which was none considering how I¡¯ve barely been conscious for ten minutes), my age, what my astrological signs are and a whole bunch of other useless information about myself. I mean it¡¯s nice to see that I¡¯m still the same gender and all that but I wouldn¡¯t really have cared much if it did change. And honestly I¡¯m kinda shocked in a way that this whole isekai thing didn¡¯t reduce our ages. I thought a standard part of the trope was to revert back to being a teenager. Shit. Well at least I don¡¯t really have to bother with the late part of puberty again.
The more important part though is the other pluses. Those must be drop downs or something for the word they¡¯re right next to. Whelp time to find out. One more button press and-

You know the more I¡¯m looking at these the less motivation I¡¯m starting to feel. Because honestly, I have no clue as to whether these numbers are any good. And seriously why the hell is my wisdom so low! I know I have basically no street smarts and I¡¯ve been dense my entire life but seeing in a number form like this kinda hurts.

Chapter 3
Chapter 3
A slight giggle came from right next to me. Sadie smiled as she looked me over. ¡°I knew you¡¯d love that. You adorable dork.¡±
¡°I Can¡¯t help it! You know how much I love these kinda game elements in an isekai story. Sure they¡¯re now happening to me but it doesn¡¯t make them any less cool!¡±
I could almost feel my face heat up as I got excited. I seriously could be such a child sometimes.
After seeing my face though her grin grew and became infectious. Seriously this person makes me so happy. I. Can¡¯t. Even.
¡°Oh, by the way. Considering you said you got to talk to that person. What¡¯s our objective? What are we supposed to be doing next? Where are we supposed to be headed? Because I think isekais are cool and all that, but I kinda don¡¯t want to just wander about like a chicken without a head.¡±
Her smile became a little more tight as she said her next words, ¡°Well, we¡¯re going to have to stop a war apparently. According to them, two countries are currently heading to war and it¡¯s going to cause massive destruction. We got summoned to prevent needless loss of life and to make the war not escalate to its worst possible outcome.¡±
¡°Um? That sounds pretty difficult to do? Especially considering we¡¯re basically two outsiders to this world. I don¡¯t think I could make any convincing arguments to stop two whole nations from going to war. If this place is anything like Earth then I don¡¯t think that a war just springs out of nowhere. There¡¯s probably some not so easy to forget history that caused it. Not to mention the more realistic causes of profit and gain that some try to make from causing wars.¡±
Saying this got me a glare though. ¡°Babe. I know you can be a realist at times but we have to do this. I wasn¡¯t going to mention this but I think I should. They said we can go back.¡±
Seriously?
Really?
¡°So we aren¡¯t going to be forced to forever live out the rest of our lives in a completely foreign world because some shitty god summoned us? Are you sure it isn¡¯t a trick?¡±
Silence followed my question.
Soon she replied though it was almost too quiet to hear at first. And I wasn¡¯t quite sure if I heard it right. ¡°I mean we have to try right?¡±
Nodding my head, ¡°Yeah, yeah we do.¡±
At this I push her butt upwards and lift her forward. ¡°Okay what¡¯s the first thing we have to do. We must have a map or at least a direction we should head in first right? I wouldn¡¯t believe that we¡¯d be given such a task without even being given something so basic.¡±
At that she hands me the small notebook that she used to demonstrate the inventory ability earlier.
¡°Open up the first page.¡±
A small ding was heard in my ear and several windows popped up shortly after.
| Obtained map of The Tribe Wildlands |
| Obtained All Elemental Mastery |
Well that was a lot of skills I just got.The narrative has been illicitly obtained; should you discover it on Amazon, report the violation.
Cool? I guess?
¡°Okay now just say open Objectives.¡±
So I did. ¡°Objectives?¡±
| Objectives |
| Head to warfront of Thynx and The Tribe Wildlands |
Before she could say anything my curiosity got the better of me and I clicked on the underlined words.
As a result a map showed up in front of me, it showed our current location in the cave and the surrounding mountains. They apparently continued on for several miles completely isolating the entire area around us from the two countries that were about to have war. Thankfully it seemed that once we got past the mountain range it wouldn¡¯t be too far until we reached the outskirts of the Thynx kingdom. We¡¯d just have to pass through a large forest as well as manage to pass over what looked to be the major river of the region. It¡¯s waters passing through both countries and even the offshoots of it branched out to their current location.
I couldn¡¯t help but worry though that I¡¯d have to keep this large screen open constantly though so I couldn¡¯t manage to get lost. Which as though responding to my thoughts, the window immediately shrunk at retreated to the corner of my eye becoming what was basically a mini map that you¡¯d see when playing a RPG.
Which furthered my thoughts to wondering if I could do the same for all my other basic stats. And at that point I was surprised, but not disappointed when I saw mini health, magic and energy bars show up as well. If I had any doubts about the game like nature of my isekai before, they all died and fizzled out at that.
Yep this is definitely amazing.
I love isekais.
After that the last thing I checked out was my inventory. Which at this point I realized all these game points were thought activated and whenever I had the intention to do the actions they happened. So no surprise that when I wanted to open my inventory, it opened. It looked just like I was playing WoW or any other basic MMO. So a bunch of boxes with basic words beneath it describing the item. If I focused on it then I¡¯d see a more detailed description appear too. Which honestly, I didn¡¯t really need to know about the region in which the flour ground to make the 20 loaves of bread I had in my inventory came from. Where the hell was the Lion Hills anyways?
| Area of inquiry not acquired. Please come back later when area has been unlocked. |
That¡¯s cool I guess? But that was more of a rhetorical question window-sama. Anyway, the most important thing though was that I had no clue how dangerous of a region the area around us was so I should at least equip the freebies hoodie-¡¯sama¡¯ gave us.
Which in all honesty, they didn¡¯t really look like much, as a shrine maiden¡¯s knight I kinda pictured gleaming metal armor. Maybe a holy sword that shone even without a light source or something. So a black cloak, which unsurprisingly had a hood as well, made of a thick and dark leather kinda was underwhelming. Even the underclothes were a boring dark almost black, brown that at least thankfully seemed to be at least comfortable to wear. The only part that I couldn¡¯t understand was whether or not to wear the necklace that came with it. It said it was part of a set but honestly the weird symbol on it made me hesitate. Why did it look like a weird cross between a hammer and a scythe? That doesn¡¯t really sound like a functionable weapon at all.
Seeing that made me worry for the weapon that I hoped would be provided for me. Thankfully though, all the weapons I could find were at least 20 throwing knives of various sizes with a halters that fit perfectly on both my chest as well as one that strapped onto the inside of my left ankle. There was also a decent pocket knife as well as a knife for skinning. The only other possible weapons was a hatchet for cutting wood and a weird sphere that when I hovered on it in the inventory it only description was, and I quote, ¡°A weapon. Conditions required to turn into weapon form.¡±
So in other words it was useless to me right now. Might as well keep it in my pocket though. Who knows what it¡¯s conditions might be and I don¡¯t want it to never change just because I refused to carry around an oddly weightless glowing purple sphere.
I felt at this point that I couldn¡¯t procrastinate any further though and Sadie has been giving me the stink eye basically urging me to stop getting so distracted. So I then grabbed her hand muttering a sheepish, ¡°Sorry¡± as we made our way in the general direction of the war front.
Chapter 4
Chapter 4
So at this point We¡¯ve been walking for what feels like forever but because I had to be curious I know by my calendar/clock display that it¡¯s only been an hour at most. I seriously love these game like elements but they kinda sap the fun out of having exaggerated statements. It feels kinda wrong to claim to have been walking for forever when I can literally look at the clock and have it tell me that we¡¯ve been walking for exactly an hour and fifteen minutes plus a dozen or so seconds. And honestly the fact that it can tell me exactly how long the walk to our destination will be based upon our current speed is kind of daunting.
It hurts to know that at our current pace it¡¯d take us almost a month in just walking. And considering we haven¡¯t taken a break yet, I have no clue if that also included the time it will take us for sleeping and when we stop to eat.
Which I could stop now if I really wanted to try out that theory, but honestly I didn¡¯t feel tired at all. In fact I honestly haven¡¯t even broken out into a sweat yet. This could be the influence of stats but I haven¡¯t leveled at all so I don¡¯t even know if my stats are any good. In fact I don¡¯t even know what a normal person¡¯s stats would even look like.
| User¡¯s stats are above the average for a normal human at level 1. |
You know I wasn¡¯t expecting a response but seriously why are my stats above normal? Is it because I¡¯m not from this world?
| User is partially correct. |
Partially? What other reason is there?
| Because was User was summoned by [@^!]], User received their basic blessings. |
Okay seriously. Who the hell was that person? It¡¯s really starting to get on my nerves how I can¡¯t even read their name because I sure as hell don¡¯t believe that their name is actually that incomprehensible string of symbols. I can¡¯t even attempt to say it so they will forever be hoodie guy in my head.
| User does not have access to that knowledge. |
I hate them.
I seriously hate them.
I can¡¯t even gender the person because they didn¡¯t even have any clearly feminine or masculine features. And I refuse to misgender someone, even if they were a total fucking asshole to me and I seriously want to punch their fucking face in.
Fuck them!
¡°Ouch!¡±
I looked over at Sadie. ¡°Babe? Why did you smack me? I didn¡¯t think I did anything yet to deserve a beating.¡±
At that she started to shake her head, ¡°Yet? If you know I¡¯m going to hit you because you¡¯re going to do something stupid. Why are you even going to do it in the first place?¡±
I Just stared at her straight into the eyes.
¡°I mean have you met me? I¡¯m bonifide stupid. I can¡¯t help but do things before I even have the chance to think about why the heck I¡¯m even doing it.¡±Reading on Amazon or a pirate site? This novel is from Royal Road. Support the author by reading it there.
Her eyes narrow at that. ¡°Yes and that¡¯s why we¡¯ve been talking about how you¡¯re supposed to try and think. You know, use that beautiful brain of yours locked in that attractive head?¡±
I can¡¯t even help it. My shoulders have already started to shrug and now I feel like I have to go with the first response that came to my mind. ¡°Sadie, we¡¯ve been together for how many years now? If I was gonna change, I would have already. I don¡¯t even know if I can change that part about myself. I do try to think every now and then before I take actions but when I¡¯m excited or agitated like this I can¡¯t help but fall back onto the act first, think second mindset.¡±
Even if I wasn¡¯t looking at her I just know her well enough by now to know that she¡¯s begun to rub the sides of her head in exasperation. Of course, this is a conversation that we¡¯ve had on repeat just about every other day so I know that she¡¯s not actually mad at me over my idiotic lifestyle. If she was, we never could have gotten this far.
After a moment of silence I asked,¡°So what actually got you to hit me?¡±
Once she let out a small huff, she responded, ¡°You had a really sour look on your face. I just wanted to get you to talk to me instead of churning up whatever weird thoughts that were going through your head.¡±
AHHHHHHH!
MY FIANCE IS THE CUTEST!
HOW THE FUCK CAN SHE BE SO ADORABLE!
¡
I probably screamed like that internally for minutes on end. Though to the annoying ass clock told me it was only a minute.
Fuck you clock. My internal clock runs on turbo when it comes to praising my future wife.
I don¡¯t need your accurate and somewhat useful self.
Wait!
Please don¡¯t actually go away! I was just joking. Learn to take a joke clock-san. (? ???? ?????)??
Thanks for coming back clock-san~ Anyways. Onwards. Yes.
Productive thinking initiating¡
¡°It¡¯s okay Sadie. I was just talking to window-sama and learned that apparently I can¡¯t know who the fuck the hoodied fuck is. They called themselves a lord but I don¡¯t know what they could be the lord of what. A shitty personality? Sounds accurate. Hmph.¡±
¡°Hahaha. Sama? Riley you¡¯re so weird. And are you should be cursing like that to a god like figure? Are you not worried about them hurting you again?¡± At the end I could feel the slight worry in her eyes when she mentioned me getting hurt.
I couldn¡¯t help but be a little uncertain but, ¡°I mean, I¡¯m quite certain if they cared they would have already hurt me again. Obviously they had no problems doing it the first time but even after bad mouthing them with window-sama I still haven¡¯t been injured again. Maybe they won¡¯t hurt me until we finish the mission?¡±
¡°That makes sense. I guess. But could you still at least try to hold back. I don¡¯t want you to get hurt again just because you keep insulting a god.¡±
¡°I¡¯ll try for your sake.¡±
How many times is she going to stare at me like that today? Why is even her angry face just so appealing to me I wonder?
¡°You mean for your sake right?¡±
¡°Yep! Totally! Anything you say my love!¡±
Yeah that definitely made her mad a little but she ended up sighing soon. ¡°I know that it¡¯s just lip service but you just made a promise so you better keep it okay?¡±
Oh no, I think she¡¯s actually really worried about that hoodie god is going to hurt me again. ¡°Babe. I seriously won¡¯t insult them anymore okay? If its got you this worried, venting my anger like that isn¡¯t worth making you upset.¡±
Yeah to see that smile. I can endure not calling a certain hoodied figure stupid names. Honestly. Her smile is all that matters.
I can give up cursing as much. It isn¡¯t the most important thing anyways. While I do wish I could actually refer to that figure with a bit more ¡®colorful¡¯ vocabulary, I think something simpler will work. So hoodied figure it is.
That¡¯s just going to have to work until I figure out what they¡¯re actually fucking called.
So as we made our way to the lowest point of the mountain ranges around us. The rest of the walk to that point just being nice as we made small talk about the weirdness of the whole situation and what we wanted to do first when we got to our first town.
