Evan stood there motionless. After a while, he turned his head upwards to take a look at the dark sky. It still wasn't evening yet, but there was no light at all.
'It's raining too much today. But I feel calm now, don't even rember when was the last ti I enjoyed rain. Maybe it was during my ti in an orphanage. It's really been a while.'
He spread his arms wide and felt the feeling of his body getting cleaned up; his mind was feeling a sense of warmth that was calming him down.
'I can't believe it hasn't even been a week since I transmigrated here, but it all feels so long. A loving family and people I care about; I finally have it all that I wanted; now, the only thing that remains is killing that demon king and freeing Grandma. Destroying the Black Serpent guild isn't much at all; in a few days, Celestina will beco strong enough to kill them all by herself. Everything feels peaceful now.'
[...]
His mind was composed and still. His life finally had a aning and felt complete.
'Hmm, I should go in now. Mizuki must be waiting for . I feel sad for being harsh on her before.'
He then went inside the house. After that, he dried his clothes with just a thought and entered inside.
Anna just dashed inside the house and her footprints were still visible inside.
'That girl...'
Evan sighed. As he lived alone and had to do all his chores by himself, he hated sses and uncleaned places.
*Snap*
He snapped his fingers and all of the footprints were gone in an instant.
He then walked forward and found Mizuki on the stairs with a mop. She was also cleaning the prints left by Anna but was confused after all of those stains disappeared ie thin air.
Evan saw her, and she did as well; seeing Evan, different mixed emotions appeared inside her heart. She just saw Anna sprinting inside with her face red, it can't happen without anything, right?
'Did they...?'
She had a hint of what that might be but wasn't willing to accept it yet.
"I should leave now," Evan said, indifferently.
He was doing it on purpose, as he knew that she would stop him this ti. If not, he would have gone ho right away after Anna left.
When she heard that, her heart ached, and she tucked her lips with her teeth.
Evan then began to walk away from her; seeing his back was going away from her, she rembered the scene inside the store; she wasn't going to repeat her mistake once again.
She hurriedly pulled herself out of her clumsiness; she felt that if she missed this mont now, it would never co back again.
So, she stepped forward and hugged Evan from behind. Her whole body pressed against him while she tightened her embrace on him, not letting him go even a bit away from her.
"Please, don't go. Please..."
She cried out on his back, she was getting scared to lose him now.
"Why?" Evan asked, he was still indifferent.
"Why are you acting like that towards ? Please don't be so cold on ."
Her tears began to drop on Evan's back and he could feel it.
He glanced at the fair and soft hand that was clutched around his chest, which was bound in a knot. Even he was lted after seeing her like that.
Evan gently grasped her hands and Mizuki loosened her clutch in him.
He then turned towards her and saw her face that was begging him to stay with her. Her tears were rolling down her cheeks.
Evan felt his emotions rising, he wanted to hold her and not let her cry ever again. But just a while... he needs to wait for a while.
"I... I didn't accept your proposal at first, but I admit I did wrong. But how could I? I have a family and I am already old. In a few years, wrinkles will appear on my face and you won't love then. I wanted you to go for a girl your age... but now... I can't bear to lose you. So, please don't hate . I accept to be your woman. Make yours..."
She said and pressed her face on his chest while embracing him.
After she expressed her heart in front of him, how could he not accept her?
He also wrapped his arms around her and hugged her gently while saying, "Finally, you accepted your heart, huh?"
"I love you, Mizuki. It has just been a while since we t, but I will fill your life with happiness from now on. And you aren't old, you will forever be beautiful. And I don't hate you at all, and will never do as well. I was just pretending till now."
She instantly lifted her head and, with her puppy eyes, looked at Evan and asked, "What?!"
Evan gave her a sweet smile, pecked her forehead, and said, "I wasn't angry at you at all. I was just waiting for you to accept being my woman."
Mizuki blinked in realization; she was worried for nothing till now.
"How could you? I was getting so worried and nervous. What do you get in making fun of ?" She said while burying her face in his chest again.
Evan laughed, seeing her like that, and said, "I get to see your cut,e angry reactions like this, so it's all worth it."
He said and called her, "Mizuki..."
Mizuki slowly lifted her head, expecting to get teased again, but Evan grabbed her waist and joined his lips with hers.
