An Yi's situation is understandable, because he was also disliked and ostracized by the boys in his village, but he was very popular with the girls.

The difference is that he's not as sarcastic.

“Actually, we’ve argued a lot before because she’s always so outspoken,” Layton recalled. “She would say hurtful things all the time and never consider other people’s feelings.”

Sometimes, even when I'm exhausted from work, she comes home and says some really hurtful things. Anyone would feel uncomfortable that way, right?

But over time, people realized that she was just...

That's a bit too frank.

"I'll say good things when I should, and I won't shy away from saying bad things when I should."

For example, if she's been hungry for a long time, she'll say she's hungry, and then get angry because she's hungry and say some unpleasant things.

"But when she's full, she'll tell me she's happy, just because it's such a simple thing as having a full meal, and she'll thank me directly."

So if she said something unpleasant, it must be because something made her unhappy.

"At first I didn't like her that much because her personality seemed strange to anyone."

But later I came to like her, which was because I liked her frankness.

That's something I can't learn.

"I like to face everything with a smile, whether it's good or bad."

But she can put on a disgusted expression, say harsh words, and attack everything that displeases her.

My wife is amazing! She can do things so easily that I can't!

“I see.” An Yi nodded.

He completely understands the feeling of speaking one's mind directly.

Actually, he did have a period when he was ruthless, but after experiencing certain things, he became much more tactful.

Oh no, it's less about being tactful and more about being diplomatic...

It's more accurate to say that it's better to avoid trouble.

If someone has a very strong personality, they'll definitely become a troublemaker who causes problems wherever they go.

Lycorina smiled and said, "Actually, I can also tell that Sister Lady is a really nice person."

In the midst of a pleasant conversation, people often forget some very important things.

In fact, after Layton and Lady left home and went to another city, they not only had to live a hard life, but also had to work hard to avoid the demons.

At the same time, she also had to take care of young Lulu. (Thorn)

Beyond their daily interactions, they shared a bond forged through life-and-death experiences. (Hedgehog)

For both of them, those were memories they didn't want to talk about.

Even without mentioning it, Layton's obsession with defeating the demons was enough to earn him a place as a hero; who could imagine the hardships that must have been?

Annie: "I remember, the town where Mr. Layton used to live was often haunted by demons, wasn't it?"

Why not escape deeper into human territory?

"Haha—" Layton laughed, "We can't even afford to eat, how can we think about so much?"

There are manual laborers everywhere, but finding work is difficult, and they don't earn much money.

Back then, I didn't know how I would survive in the next town. Once I made money, I would definitely try to improve my living conditions first. In short, I should get a normal house to live in first, right?

"At the time, my plan was to rent a normal place first, then save money by living frugally."

However… also because of the demons, I have to stop working every few days and go to the shelter for refuge.

In this way, you can't save any money at all.

After working for several months, I finally achieved some results and received a slight raise. However, by then, Lady already had Lulu, so I couldn't leave.

Lycorina was immediately puzzled: "Why?"

"Why would you want a child when life is already so hard?" - Lu

Layton's lips twitched awkwardly: "This..."

Annie looked at Lycorina: "Don't ask."

Lycorina: "Why shouldn't you ask?"

An Yi: "Never mind."

Lycorina: "???"

Only Lycorina was unaware of this; the other three knew.

Because... that should be considered force majeure, right?

Humans are humans, not heroes with a "passionate" mindset.

A young couple who have confessed their feelings for each other spend every day and night together. Is it possible that nothing will happen between them?

Moreover, given how difficult their situation was at the time, they probably even shared a room in a space with no privacy, so it was impossible for them to be reserved even if they wanted to.

Layton was strong and energetic, so it would be hard for him to resist a piece of meat that was offered to him. He was probably like dry tinder that could be ignited at the slightest provocation.

It wasn't an accident, but rather something we expected.

Annie asked Lycorina, "By the way, do you know what it means to have a child?"

Lycorina: "Of course I know!"

Our church members apply to have children by submitting a report!

An Yi: "If you apply, you get it, right?"

Lycorina: "What else?"

An Yi: "Wandering."

Layton: "Hahahaha—"

He didn't intend to explain; he'd just let Her Highness misunderstand.

Because that's an adult topic!

After walking for a short while, the believers who were waiting at the agreed place greeted the four of them and then led the way to the place where An Yi's family was settled.

They arrived at noon, and now, after a while, the sky has turned grayish-yellow, and the sun is about to set, approaching evening.

According to the current plan, Layton will go to Annie's house for dinner later, and after dinner he will leave and go back to his own house for dinner cooked by Lady.

I also suddenly discovered that [binge eating] has a use beyond replenishing physical strength.

That means you can attend different dinner parties one after another!

I'm sure I won't overeat!

On the way, Lycorina asked Annie, "Annie, what kind of people are your family members?"

Qi An Yi: "Homo sapiens."

Lycorina: "?"

Lin...

"Tap tap tap!"

"Annie! That kid Annie is already on his way back, what are you doing hiding in your room?!" Asel banged on the door.

“I’m changing! Stop knocking!!” Annie shouted.

U: "Alright, hurry up."

When N heard that his daughter was changing clothes, Asel didn't say anything more.

Has my daughter finally reached the age where she cares about her appearance?

She used to wear Elsa's old clothes in the village, but now that she's in the big city, she loves to dress up more and more every day.

Meanwhile, Annie twirled around in front of the mirror in the room, changing into several dresses but still wasn't satisfied.

"Which one should I wear?!"

There were many clothes to choose from, but she thought they were all pretty good and wanted to try them out.

An Yi is coming back after being away from home for three months!

He said he was going to leave for ten years, but he came back in just three months!

So she had to dress up nicely and show An Yi how she had grown up in the big city!

Then proudly exclaimed, "How about it? Isn't my sister beautiful?!"

An Yi will definitely say, "Yes, sister is so pretty!"

The thought of impressing Annie filled Annie with anticipation.

but……

"Which one should I wear?!"

This one looks good, and that one looks good too!

Aaaaaaahh ...

"...Oh, right!"

We're having dinner soon, so would it be better if I dressed a little more formally?

Uh-huh!

Anne suddenly had an answer in her mind and chose a fitted evening gown.

Her black hair, which had always been tied in two braids, was now combed straight, and she wore black lace gloves and lipstick.

But applying lipstick is the most makeup she does; she doesn't know how to do anything else! ? ‖♂′

Although she used to live in the village exposed to the wind and sun, she and her mother both knew about herbs and naturally used them for skincare, so their skin was well-maintained and they were very attractive just by applying lipstick.

Finally, she put on black high heels she had never worn before, pushed open the door, and went downstairs from the room.
