That Time Hori And Miyamura Got Reincarnated In Another World (COMPLETED)

Chapter 32: The Unchanging Love And A Strange Feeling

Three years had passed since Hori and Miyamura's wedding, and in that time, many things had changed in Tempest. The kingdom had grown immensely, establishing even stronger ties with its allies and neighboring lands. Benimaru, their close friend and fierce warrior, had taken two wives-Albis and Momiji-who were both powerful in their own right. Souei, always the silent shadow, had married Souka, the younger sister of Gabiru, and their union had been one of great joy for the entire kingdom.

Despite the many changes in Tempest and around them, one thing remained constant-Hori and Miyamura's love for each other. Their bond had only deepened with time, but they still acted much like they always had, teasing each other, laughing, and sharing quiet moments of warmth and affection.

One day, after a routine sparring session, Hori and Miyamura were engaged in an intense practice fight with their friends. As always, Hori fought with a fierce determination, matching Miyamura's speed and skill. Their swords clashed with precision, their movements in perfect sync. The rest of their friends were sparring too-Benimaru, Albis, Momiji, Souei, and Souka all honing their skills, pushing themselves as they often did. But something felt different today.

Hori was feeling... off.

She couldn't quite place what it was, but there was a heaviness in her chest, a strange sensation that made her feel unsteady. She brushed it off at first, thinking it was just the strain of their intense practice, but as the sparring session continued, the feeling persisted.

When the practice ended, the group settled down together in a peaceful clearing outside the castle, the sun shining brightly overhead. They sat around a fire, sharing stories and laughs, enjoying each other's company.

Albis and Momiji were at it again, playfully bickering over Benimaru, each getting his attention in their own way.

"No, I was the one who cheered the loudest during the last fight!" Momiji declared, her arms crossed, her eyes glinting with determination.

"Oh please," Albis retorted, flipping her hair back. "You might have been louder, but I was the one who actually helped him win."

Benimaru, sitting between them, looked utterly flustered, his face red as he tried to calm his wives down. "L-Ladies, please... there's enough of me for both of you..."

The rest of the group couldn't help but laugh at the sight, with Souei and Souka exchanging amused glances. Miyamura chuckled, giving Benimaru a sympathetic look, while Hori smiled, though the strange feeling still lingered within her.

As the lighthearted banter continued, Hori found herself growing more and more tired. She tried to ignore it, to stay present in the moment, but then, without warning, her vision blurred and the world around her tilted.

"H-Hori!" Miyamura's voice was the last thing she heard as her legs gave out beneath her, and everything went black.

Miyamura moved faster than he ever had before, catching Hori in his arms before she hit the ground. Panic surged through him as he gently cradled her, his heart racing.

"What happened?!" Benimaru rushed over, his wives' bickering immediately forgotten.

"I-I don't know," Miyamura said, his voice tight with worry. "She just collapsed."

Without wasting another second, Miyamura lifted Hori into his arms and hurried back to their castle, his friends following closely behind. They moved with urgency, but there was a tense silence among them, everyone concerned about Hori.

When they reached their bedroom, Miyamura gently laid her down on the bed, brushing her hair out of her face. Her breathing was steady, but there was something about the way she looked that unsettled him. Something... strange.

Miyamura sat by her side, holding her hand tightly. His heart was still racing, but it wasn't just the panic of seeing her collapse. There was something else, something he couldn't quite explain. It was as if a strange energy was surrounding them, something unfamiliar and... powerful.

As he sat there, staring at her peaceful face, a wave of strange vibes washed over him. He couldn't shake the feeling that something was happening, something far beyond his understanding.

He glanced out the window at the kingdom they had built together, the same one they had admired countless times. But tonight, something felt different. He couldn't put his finger on it, but it gnawed at him, leaving him with an uneasy feeling in the pit of his stomach.

The chapter ended with Miyamura watching over Hori, his mind filled with questions, his heart filled with worry-and that strange, unexplainable feeling that something was coming.
