Fiancée of the Wizard Volume 8 Extra Story 1 – My Treasure Part 4
According to the timing and our schedule, we were supposed to depart the Schtorenvihein estate early in the morning. However, starting with the hero, all the others from the Schtorenvihein estate went out of their way to come see us off. In front of us, behind the horse carriage, me, the man, and Estrella stood side by side.
A scarf with a gradation of lapis lazuli blue to navy purple was wrapped around the man’s neck. Meanwhile, a scarf of lavender color was wrapped around Estrella’s neck.
Additionally, these two were not the only ones who wore scarves around their necks. The hero had been at the gate before us and had been waiting for us all the time. The hero wore a bright green scarf around his neck. It was a little ugly and not well made. However, lots of yarn had been used for it, and it seemed very warm.
I could not help but call out to him and say, 「it suits you very well」. When I said so, Ms. Marie who was standing beside the hero to see us off together with him reddened immediately. However, the hero in question did not seem to notice the pure emotions of this girl who had fallen in love. He smiled and said.
「When I thought that you guys would go home, I was quite sad. I had waited outside because I could not stay still. When I did so, Marie gave it to me. Because I would catch a cold in such a state………hey, Marie. Are you really sure? Was there somebody else that you were intending to give this to…… 」
「I had said, it is fine! 」
The hero talked to her as if he felt really sorry for her. I could not help but fall silent. Marie reddened her face due to a different reason other than bashfulness, while she scolded the hero. I could not find the words for her.
You are too dense. A too dense hero. The man was known to be very stubborn as well, and my son was already known widely to be very kind. However, even these two gazed at the hero with an exasperated look. Undoubtedly, at this rate, Ms. Marie would struggle a lot in her love. That being said, I knew that even if I said something here, it would not solve anything. Hence, I did not interrupt them. Instead, I bowed at the hero.
「Thank you very much, Sir Yuri. Let’s definitely meet in the future. I shall send you a letter again」
「Yes. I would also send letters. I would be happy if Agedilus also sends me letters occasionally」
「Only when I am free」
「Thank you Agedilus. I will look forward to it」
At the man’s plain and unfriendly response, the hero still smiled happily. Then, I walked to Ms. Marie who was beside the hero, and took her soft hands in my hands.
「Ms. Marie. If you don’t mind, please come to our estate in the capital. Of course, with Sir Yuri as well」
「A, alright! 」
Yes yes, I was happy that she replied to me in a cheerful way. Then, we were seen off by the people from the Schtorenvihein estate, and rode the horse carriage. That moment, the morning glow colored magical sphere that was embedded on the silver ring reflected the morning sunlight and gleamed.
I could not help but smile. The man and Estrella noticed me and looked into my face, but I just smiled and did not say anything. That’s because this gleam is only mine.

——This ring was still gleaming on my left hand’s ring finger.
Currently, I was on the way back home from the celebration that took place in the palace for the ceremony during the big festival. I, the man, and Estrella were all sitting in a horse carriage going home to our home, the Lancent secondary estate.
At the celebration, starting with the hero, the members who had killed the demon lord were very popular as in the previous years. However, not just them, but Estrella was also very popular. Perhaps I did not need to say so. The way he stood beside the princess with Heinrich was very splendid. However, it seemed that for him, he was quite tense. By the time the celebration end, it seemed that he was tired to the bone.
It seemed that he wanted to leave the palace as soon as possible. I did not need to explain how my husband was the same as well. In in the end, we politely declined the princess’s offer for us to stay at the palace. Then, we rode on a horse carriage and departed from the palace.
In the horse carriage, Estrella was nodding his head asleep. He seemed like he would fall forward at any moment. While sighing, the man let Estrella lean against his shoulder. I really think the man is not honest at all. I had tried to contain my laughter the best I could. While I was doing so, he glared at me. Hm, I am not scared of him at all.
Eventually, the horse carriage finally arrived at our home, the Lancent secondary estate. After coming off the horse carriage, the man was about to carry Estrella and quickly head into the Estate. I called him.
「Edi, could you please wait a little.」
「What? 」
The man turned around with a questioning look on his face. Meanwhile, Estrella rubbed his eyes the best sleepily. I moved around them and stood in front of the door. My husband and son seemed very confused. At my husband and son, I lifted the rim of my dress, and smile while bowing.
「Edi, Estra. Welcome back home」
I felt like I had finally said the words that I had always wanted to say. At my words, the morning glow colored eyes were widened, while the yellow eyes seemed confused. Then subsequently, the two pairs of eyes wielded a gentle light.
Then, the man made Estrella, which he had been carrying, stand beside him. Then, he patted Estrella’s shoulder. Then, he pushed Estrella’s back towards me. Hm? I tilted my head in confusion. In front of me, Estrella took one step towards me in a very confused manner. At this, the man looked down at him in a meaningful way. The man tapped his own cheek a couple of times.
At just this, Estrella seemed to understand what the man wanted to say. He looked between me and the man’s face as if in indecision.
I wonder what is happening. I could only tilt my head. Meanwhile, ignoring me, the man lightly nodded at Estrella. It seemed that Estrella had made up his mind upon the man’s gesture, and took one step forward again. Then, he stood in front of me.
「Estra? 」
I wonder what was happening. Trying to convey such confusion, I called his nickname, Estrella neared his proportionate face gently. Hm? Before I could wonder what was happening, he lightly kissed my cheek in a light touch and go manner.
「I am back, mother」
Then, reddening his face, my son muttered in a soft voice. I could not help but murmur, 「well well」. Who was the one that said that the kiss to the cheek is a sign of phileo love? Although it was a very short kiss, I was happy that this son had done his best to express his love. I smiled in a way that I myself felt it was quite expressive. Then, I too, kissed Estrella’s cheek.
Estrella reddened his face furthermore. While I giggled at him, the man seemed to have walked close to me without me noticing. He took my arm with significant force, and make me stand right in front of him.
Then, the man took one section of my hair and kissed my hair. He did not stop there. The man released my hair, and then fixed my jaw with his hand. Then, he kissed my lips without letting me say anything. Moreover, it was not like Estrella’s kiss just now that was just a touch, but it was a long one that was much deeper and yearning.
What was the man doing in front of a child……! Even if I thought so, I strangely could not make myself resist. I obediently accepted his kiss. The meaning of kissing one’s hair is affectionate thought. The meaning of kissing on one’s lips was romantic love. I was bashful at both gestures. However, I was much happier than just abashed.
「I am back, Filmina」
The man finally released me and whispered into my ear. I reddened my face, but still laughed out loud.
Welcome back. I am back. I thoroughly realized how precious and joyful it was to have this simple interaction. When I pondered how eventually, two voices will join this interaction of 「I am back」, I could not help but feel excited for that day from now.
