Isekai Journey Of The Magic Archer

She was looking into my eyes, her eyes asking that very same question with sincerity.

She meant that and she actually never had a goal before this day.

At least not something she wanted to chase after for her entire life. That’s what the actual goal meant in the end.

And…

“It’s up to you what you want to set as your true goal for this life, Rein.

If you want that, why not?

I would feel blessed to have someone like you too. Who wouldn’t actually?

Just that… I doubt most people aside from me will have grave difficulty handling a wild, red, pink, gold, and… adorable one like you.

Well, you are part of the family I want to protect anyway.

I know you know how absurdly difficult this will be, mostly because of me too but, in the end, if it’s what you truly want, who am I to stop you?”

It meant many things when she said she wanted ‘us’ as her goal.

It was crazy actually.

We had only ever been together for some hours, and she wanted this small ‘us’ to be the same forever.

And she would do whatever it took to make this true even if the world denied this.

Or at least this was what this meant at the very least.

I knew she would actually do that, and so would I.

My goal was just simple protection from anything and everything.

And the lengths she wanted to go for her gaol was up to her. There was no harm to me in that… hopefully.

I believed she was smart and liked me enough to not actually do something ‘too stupid’.

Aside from that, everything was alright, right?

There was a smile on my face as I tried to get up from her comfortable lap but, she also smiled and pressed my head down back on her lap… I should say thighs but as I have been, I will say lap.

Yes… if I start with the word ‘thighs’, the topic can be stretched to at least half of the chapter…

So, I was back on her lap, she was just smiling normally and looking up at the clear sky, at the blue moon who just smiled down on us warmly, not in a creepy way.

“Let’s just… stay like this.

The day we had today was quite good at first but the way it end was definitely not much special.

You know how excited I was and I know you were too but… we couldn’t do anything about the things that have already happened and that this was not something you had predicted or were even expecting.

It’s not your fault but neither of us was fully focused on our first date.

It definitely wasn’t perfect so… let’s at least spend the night like this.”

There was a blush on her face and though she looked gorgeous, what she said was another thing.

I knew about those people from the start of the day and I should have thought about the possibility that they would be desperate and just find the thing that they were finding the same day.

Maybe they were on it for a while and I didn’t know but… I didn’t think of the possibility that we might see them on our way.

More so that we would see two far stronger than the ones that the black-clothed person killed.

The two were at the level of the leader they had there and those two we saw were at a different place altogether.

I do not know if this person will deal with them too but I know he knew of their existence after seeing that Ocagi.

They had a high-level ability to track and mark their prey.

I don’t have to worry about them if their opponent was someone like that guy.

Just his pure swordsmanship was astonishing, his other abilities and that special legendary creature with him being even more shocking things.

His sword was fast. Too fast if I said so myself.

His sword Aura was special too. One of the rarest types. Aura of yin-yang harmony… something outstandingly rare.

And he also used internal energy so it was even more surprising.

I didn’t know much about him because of watching that super high-speed fight through Celes’s clone.

If it were Celes herself, it would have been better and I could have been able to see more clearly but, it couldn’t be helped now. 𝘰𝑣𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

Our paths have crossed once, even though we couldn’t meet each other.

And I know, in the future, we will definitely meet again because of this bitch fate of mine.

Well… we will see when that time comes.

‘But for now, as she gracefully offered with that cute face, let’s just spend the night like this.’

Closing my eyes after saying thanks to her, I sighed deeply…

The last few days had been long. And by long… I mean more than a hundred chapters long if converted into chapters.

The next few days will be just plain so I don’t think I will have this many long days now.

Next, some days will go by quickly with everyone having their own work and both of us having things that we had to finish.

I had to set up my room, oversee Chry’s progress, help him train a bit and teach him how to take those herbs, go out and buy some things that I might need, read a lot of books, play with my dear siblings, do some training with Rein, and much more.

Days will pass quickly and I don’t think many things should happen in the time I would be busy like this.

Today was also quite unique, from how I just came here and am sleeping on her lap like this… the time that we experience and the time that one read these long days is different but still… unique.

I could feel that she was happy to have someone this much close to her lonesome heart, just like how I was glad to have someone like her in my not-so ‘main character’ life.

This cool breeze of the night was calm, I felt warm in this place, under these celestial objects, among these glowing flowers, on this comfortable bench, on this comfortable lap, with this special person, in this complicated life…

But I can breathe freely now.

Because… I feel free…
