“But… I’m really asking just in case… You’re an adult, right?”
“… Of course, it’s already so obvious.”
“In Idelberg, even minors can get married as long as the parents give them consent, right? Which part that you said is so obvious?”
“I said I’m obviously an adult!”
Helen shouted and her face turned red.It’s been a while since she became an adult. Five years have passed since then.
Her coming-in-age ceremony was not even a common one, but she clearly remembered her 20th birthday.
“I-I’m 25 years old.”
“Twenty five….”
Based on his assumption, Helen was only about fifteen at most.
But he didn’t mean that she looked girly.
“You’re so tiny. You said you’re a woman who comes from foreign country, right? Are people in that country normally this small?”
“….”
Helen stubbornly closed her mouth.
He was right. She was particularly small.
Edith was a head taller than her.
“Your hands and feet are too small. Perhaps your feet are even smaller than mine?”The man fidgeted with Helen’s hand curiously.
Helen had a small appearance. She already knew that she was quite small compared to others.
“I’m not that small….”
“In your country?”
Helen nodded unconsciously to the man’s innocent question.
Strange. She didn’t want to look unappealing to the man.
“I see.”
He didn’t care about that. Whether the people in her country were small or not, it was just astonishing that the woman in front of him was just half his height.
The man held Helen’s hand, entwined their fingers together, and fidgeted with her nails for a while.
It was too soft and small compared to his own hand, he thought it would break even if he held it with just a little bit of pressure.
She said she was twenty five years old. That thought made the man pause for a moment.
