The Branded Female Fencer

New Friends, Part 6 – Proposal

“What should I say with the little ones…”

Lisa was haunted by one person after she decided to send Fenna inside. If it’s true, I’d love to spend a day with the kids and then say goodbye, but given Fenna’s circumstances, it was obvious that we should leave as soon as possible. I also thought I could stay another night if Fenna wasn’t feeling too well, but Miriazal’s restorative magic was great and the wounds that were really dying were almost completely healed. Miriazal is right, I’m sure Fenna’s health will be recovering tomorrow morning.

“Too good is a problem.”

“Did you say something?

In anticipation of a likely sooner departure, the two of us are about to return to Lisa’s house in order to hand over the children as they are to Miriazal.

“I was worried about what to say to the little ones. Lisa was careful not to lie to the little ones.”

“I had no choice, sooner or later the farewell came. It’s the same even when they grow up. Suddenly, it might be too much.”

“Lisa can do that, but the little ones aren’t old enough to understand it.”

“Right…”

In the end, the two of us arrived at home thinking inconclusively. Even though it is a barren house of borrowed things, my heart always soothed when I opened the door of this house, but now Lisa’s mind remains sinking in darkness.

“I’m just… well, are you all asleep? It’s late at night.”

“Mm… sister Lisa, welcome home…”

But when Lisa entered the house, she came out of the kitchen scrubbing Jake’s sleepy eyes. I guess I was waiting for one of Lisa’s returns.

“Jake, I’m not sure he was awake yet.”

“Uh. When the others are asleep, there’s something I want to say to my sister Lisa properly…”

Jake takes it out of the cupboard somehow. Something in the bag was rattling.

“Sister Lisa, do you know what this is?

“This is… money, isn’t it? Besides, does this weight mean a lot of money? Jake, how the hell did you collect this money? No way!?”

What Miriazal told me on Lisa’s head comes to mind. What the hell did a child do to save so much money? A bad feeling comes to Lisa’s mind.

But Jake shook his head as soon as he could to deny Lisa’s intentions.

“Lisa, I didn’t do anything to worry my sister, I worked for her. Delivery of mail and light luggage. Did you even brush your shoes or something? Well, it’s been tough to ask at a time like this.”

“Why? Wasn’t Lisa’s income enough?

Lisa rarely absurds her voice. Try her, she’s making money by cutting herself. It can’t be enough because we’ve made good decisions about how to do it. Where do you say you miscalculated when you were desperate to at least do something until the children grew up?

Jake was calm before Lisa, angry at her incompetence.

“Hmm, that was enough, wasn’t it?

“Then why? Jake is not old enough to work yet!

“‘Cause, sister Lisa, you’ve been working since you were six, right? I’m 10 years old, right? Even I can work!

Maybe if you ask me. It was the day after I picked up Jake that Lisa came to the guild to manage to turn the power she had woken up into gold. Honestly, it’s not like the idea of using the sensors’ abilities to work evil didn’t come to Lisa’s mind. But even for those younger than herself, Lisa did not want to do evil. If I found out I grew up with more money than I earned from evil again, I was scared of Lisa to see what it would be like to be raised.

I don’t deny that Lisa, who is the six-year-old most, also used a slightly sloppy hand to be allowed to work in the guild.

Knowing or not Lisa’s thoughts like that, Jake started once and for all with words he would have thought about many times on his own.

“We can eat with the money that sister Lisa makes, right? I can also live in a house with a roof. Sure, I don’t have a father or a mother, I haven’t been to school, and I rarely get toys to play with, but I’m sure that’s an amazing blessing. But, Lisa, how’s your sister?

“What do you mean?

Lisa didn’t know what the question meant and asked back.

“Sister Lisa always works. Do you remember when I took a break the other day? I was counting the days my sister Lisa worked, and I mean, I don’t know how many are bigger than 99, but that number’s already exceeded a long time ago, right?

“… was it”

“Yes, that’s why this is a thank you from me. With all this, sister Lisa, you can take a week off, right? Take some time off. Now it’s only taken me six months to make this much money, but one day I’m going to make a lot of money and make it easier for my sister Lisa! Oh, my God, I’m a man!

“Jake…”

Especially how a boy who is only an orphan with no schooling or skills makes more money than Lisa, who ranks high in the guild. Not at all. It’s just a childish fantasy. But Lisa couldn’t remember when I last painted these fantasies. Lisa realized now that she had been chased into her daily life and had only ever quit thinking about her future at all.

No matter when she had a dream, Lisa tries to remember. Wasn’t it those days when you spent one thing with your parents without anxiety? In that, would you have ever wanted to try and build a happy family yourself?

Does Jake’s ability to have dreams mean that he has enough of a place for them now? So does Jake’s care, but I feel like what I’ve done has been rewarded, and Lisa’s heart fills with warmth.

And Lisa was crying unknowingly. Even when my father left, and when my mother killed herself, there were no tears in her eyes. Lisa thought she was someone who couldn’t cry. At least he said he wasn’t in a position to cry. But now there is a being who tries to do something for himself for free. I couldn’t be happier for her.

“(Well, this is a jolly tear, isn’t it? Nor was it in vain that I worked powdered myself…)”

Where is the wind Jake blowing, such as Lisa’s emotion, so hard on his story that he hasn’t noticed how Lisa is doing?

“So… what if… what if? If I can make some money and protect my sister Lisa… will you marry me, Lisa??

“… Huh?

Lisa’s tears stopped unexpectedly in her sudden words, and she accidentally turned her unprotected surprise face to Jake. Not very much, but it would be a look you can’t do in front of the Alphilis and the others.

“(… what did Lisa say now? Didn’t this kid tell you to marry me??

No, no, no, no. And Lisa sifts and shakes her head to the side and checks again. Lisa only thinks about it, which would be Jake’s usual joke anyway.

“Jake, what now? I’m not really making fun of Lisa.”

“Don’t make me say it twice!… well, you want me to marry you!!

“… ha”

“Hey, what the fuck! That reply!!

Was it an unexpected reply, Jake started to grate. No, Lisa is also fixing it as if she doesn’t feel anything on the surface, but she’s having a panic on the inside. Apparently Jake is serious. I refreshed myself from liking it or dating it, and I never even thought Lisa would suddenly propose it. Plus, for a kid who seemed to be moaning until a while ago. In Lisa’s head, which had no real feeling at all, it was white.

Behind you, Miriazal is desperately capturing a laugh of momentum that has just screwed off his abs. Lisa had sensed that patience was too much or that she was sweating weird and trembling in small pieces.

“Jake. Do you know what marriage means?

“I know! We swear to each other eternal love, and we’ll be together forever until we die, right?

“Where did you learn those words… why Lisa?

“I’ve never seen a better woman than my sister Lisa! I saw all kinds of people working, but they’re all on the upper side! I say,” Booyah, you’re a good boy, “” Booyah, good luck, “but I don’t like people who are seriously worried about me! But Lisa, my sister isn’t. It’s none of my business. Pick me up, raise me up, put up with what I want to do for it! Still, you never asked us for anything in return, and you were beautiful, kind, strong, uh, and then…”

Praise Lisa as Jake takes his breath off haha. I also feel a little too beautified, but I just don’t feel bad about Lisa either when she gets all this pure praise.

“Jake, but Lisa’s blind, right?

“Fine, I’ll be Lisa’s sister’s eye!

Lisa was called a monster by her real parents.

“It doesn’t matter! Lisa, my sister is Lisa!

“Lisa may be better now, but by the time you’re older, you may be finding a nicer woman than Lisa”

“Maybe so… but I’ve already decided to protect my sister Lisa for the rest of my life!

Apparently Jake isn’t willing to pull a step, but he doesn’t even sound like a waste of children. Then Lisa thought, trying to make this one unscrupulous. That Jake would give up on this, too.

“… okay, Jake. If you want to marry Lisa, I want you to promise me something.”

“What?”

“Lisa only wants to marry a nice guy. If you’re going to make money, I’ll have you make enough money to buy out every house on the tallest platform in this town. Can you?

“Yeah!”

“You can’t just have money. Lisa likes strong men. Even if the Demon King attacks, I don’t like Lisa unless she’s man enough to protect Lisa by herself. But, of course, dying is out of the question. Can you promise to fight and win to protect Lisa, even if the army of demon kings attacked and all humans fled?

“Of course!

“It’s also important to look at it. I don’t want to be over 180cm tall. I hate muscle muckies again. Must be supple and smart. What do you think?

“Lisa, if that’s what your sister wants, I’ll let you be.”

“Not yet. Power is also important. We’re orphans, so nobody will admit we don’t have status. You become a knight and a general in some kingdom.”

“General, don’t be such a jerk! Lisa, if it’s for your sister, I’ll make you a kingdom!

Lisa got in trouble for this word. I can’t think of any more excuses. So far it seems to be in a straight line, and it is impossible to answer all the difficult questions instantly. Especially Lisa, the last one seems to be getting on my mind. I wouldn’t have thought of any means of reality or anything like that because I’m a child, but I still had a boy in front of me who told me to try and get me ready up to the country for one of my own, and Lisa was feeling innumerable.

“(Lisa is blind, but I guess Sakashi Jake is looking at me with a serious eye. Even if you are 10 years old, you have a straight, sincere eye that you can’t help but attract a woman if you look her in the eye… for the first time now, you may have regretted not being able to see yourself)”

Lisa was closing her eyes and leaning down, but raised her face as if she had decided to do something.

“Then Jake, look at me?

“I’m watching you! Ever, ever, ever, ever!

“Really… then this is the reply from Lisa. Close your eyes. Don’t open it until I say yes.”

I’ll make sure Jake closes his eyes and put my hand on Jake’s face and gently kiss his lips. I can well see that Jake was stiff as a moment, petrified. Lisa could easily have imagined that maybe her face would also be bright red. My cheeks are so hot somehow. As for Lisa, I didn’t want Jake to see her face like this.

Would I have overlaid my lips for about 10 seconds? I feel as though I’ve been doing that all night, but that must have been the hope of my heart, in fact, for a moment. Apparently Lisa was also paralyzed with some of her head. Release your lips with a vague look and I’ll give Jake a gentle hug.

“Look, Jake… Lisa is going on a journey. The Sister who’s going to be behind you will take care of you. He’s a bit of a petanco, a sister lacking body irregularities and color, but he can be trusted as a human… learn under her. And be a good man, and come pick me up. Let’s do the same thing then as we do now. Now it’s not just a kiss, it’s a swear kiss…”

“Yeah… yeah!

Jake replied forcefully.

“(Kids are simple at all… and is Lisa a a kid too? But the emotions I think I like people may be as simple as that)”

Lisa had a natural smile on her face. But at the same time, I am sorry. I have to leave my children at a time like this.

“Please forgive Lisa for putting you guys on a journey… but the truth is, I should have said it a long time ago”

“Fine, now it’s my turn. I’ll take good care of them. So don’t worry about anything.”

People grow fast. Jake, who thought Lisa was a child, was about to grow up at some point. Although we are still children, including Lisa, we were very grateful for Lisa, who even gave Jake a toilet.

“(Sounds like you can expect this… in 10 years, you could be a really great guy and pick up Lisa. Most of it has nothing to do with it, though Lisa will get this kid’s proposal. But until then, Lisa will have to make an effort to be a good woman too)”

Lisa became somewhat anxious not knowing if she was more suitable for Jake, but convinced herself by her determination to polish herself. We still have time.

“Jake… thanks”

“I mean, it’s okay.”

“Are you okay not asking me anything? Aren’t you worried?

“If you even write to me sometimes, that’s fine. Besides, don’t cheat on other guys than me, okay?

“… I’m too well, Jake”

I’ll pinch your head with fists of both hands and grind you. Apparently, Jake is quite afloat with the successful proposal. Most of all, Lisa was the same inside.

“Tell me, tell me! Sister Lisa, stop.”

“Well, shall we keep this about it? But what can I explain to the other kids?”

“It’s okay. Because I have explained it to everyone properly when I have to.” Lisa, when you find out what your sister wants to do, she won’t hold you back. “Well, Mirce might get a little sloppy. By the way, if I were gone, Nellie would. Without Nellie, Ruth is next.”

“Were you thinking that far…”

Apparently, the children are far firmer than Lisa thinks. Lisa could be sure that she would be able to support each other well, even without herself anymore. Except, of course, for real life means.

That’s when Mirce walked in with a pepper rubbing her sleepy eyes.

“Mm-hmm. Risa, what are you…?

“Mirche, are you awake? Look, I’m fine, so let’s go to sleep over there, huh?

“I need you to stick to Risa.”

“I’ll get right to it later… Jake, please take Mirche first”

“Mm-hmm. Give him a proper hug later, okay?

“Yeah, be sure.”

Jake takes Mirche to his bedroom. And when we were two, Miriazal finally began to laugh grandly as if he had exceeded the limits of his patience.
