"Ah.... I've really done it now..."

I rushed out without thinking but... What should I do now...

After running from the store for 2-3 minutes, I began to walk slowly.

"But, such an important thing like that... Aren't we going to be a family...? Or maybe that's just the norm here in Alsar?"

I murmured quietly so the people around me wouldn't be able to hear me.

Even though the result might not change, I still wanted us to talk first before we decided on such an important thing like that.

Since we are going to get married... Well, our relationship is a bit complicated but since we're going to be family, you can't just....

I had been in Alsar for only less than two months. I still didn't know what was considered normal here.

"Haah... I definitely can't go see Malik-san when I'm feeling depressed like this. He will definitely be worried. So both the guild and the house is not an option for me... Ah! I can go to Eva-san's place and talk with her!"

I believed Malik-san should be still in the guild at this hour but I shouldn't return home just in case he already went home. While I was pondering where I should go, I remembered Eva-san who was married to an otherworlder like me.

I already planned on meeting him after I had returned to Pedrell but because one thing after another, I didn't get to meet him yet.

He might be busy so maybe I should just come and sneak a glance at him. Though... It'd be nice if I could talk with him for a bit...

"Okay! I've decided! I will go to 【Ken】!"

After settling my mind, I ran to 【Ken】 so I could arrive there faster.

At this moment I didn't know until I was told later on in the future that one of Ali-san's subordinates went back to Ali-san's office to deliver his report about me.

".................. That's why..."

"So that's why you ran away?"

"Yes..."

When I arrived at【Ken】, the sign said the restaurant was already closed. Feeling disappointed, I turned around to return home but then, I met Eva-san who was holding onto a bag. She had been going out to shop for some necessities.

She led me back to the restaurant, told me to take a seat and poured a cup of tea for me before she asked me to tell her what had happened.

"Ren-kun, I do agree that they're at fault for not discussing it with you first but you know what? I think they're doing all of that for the sake of your happiness. You know that, right?"

"Yes. I know... I also wished I hadn't just run without talking with them first but... I wonder were they upset because I just rushed out like that? Do they hate me now? I'm so worried about that..."

Now that I have cooled down, I could finally see what Eva-san was talking about. It wasn't about the money. They must be just thinking what was the best for me, what could make me happy.

I plopped down on the table, somehow realizing that made me feel disheartened.

"I see.. But I'm sure that's not what they are feeling right now, you know? Just by listening to your story about them, I could see they truly care and love you.... Regarding marriage, it is normal for the one who has the most money to pay in Alsar. I also had a fight with Ken about this too. Ren, you might be thinking they're underestimating you by doing that but actually... For them, they think it's normal that they're the one that has to pay. Well I'm sure after talking with them you can finally accept their way of thinking."
