But convincing our parents was another story.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neither my parents nor his approved of our relationship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well, Horlan is the fifth son, so he wouldn’t inherit anything. I can understand why my parents were against it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But why would Horlan’s parents object?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m literally offering to marry their fifth son. I thought they’d be happy about that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They rejected me because Horlan’s second, third, and fourth brothers were still unmarried.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And when they suggested the second son instead, I firmly refused. It had to be Horlan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time passed, and despite our efforts, nothing changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Horlan also tried his best but there’s no progress at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just when I thought we’d never be able to marry, a letter arrived from Langho-anii, who had left the village.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seems anii has found success.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He got married, bought a big house, and now that his wife is pregnant, he’s struggling to manage it all and asked if I could help.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I thought, ‘this is it’.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>-0-\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I took Horlan with me, and we set off for Village Five, where anii lives.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I didn’t tell my parents or Horlan’s parents anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They would’ve just opposed us anyway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they won’t stop us from leaving, they would’ve allowed us to marry in the first place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I left behind a note, at least.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I didn’t want to stir up trouble for no reason.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My parents may not be satisfied with this, but they won’t chase me all the way to Village Five where anii is.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They might have some influence in our village, but outside of it, they hold no power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only thing left to worry about is whether the village chief of Village Five sees us as troublemakers……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well, I’ll talk it over with anii once we arrive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’ll probably defend us, but I don’t intend to cause any problems for Village Five.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they tell us to leave, we’ll go somewhere else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as I have Horlan, I can live anywhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>-0-\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We finally arrived at Village Five, where anii lives.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anii is a liar!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This isn’t a village at all!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s a massive city!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the gate inspection was so thorough!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Also, what’s with that teleportation gate?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ve never been so shocked in my life!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then anii’s house…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said it was big in the letter, but I never imagined it would be this huge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What is this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s not quite a noble’s mansion, but it’s far too large for a commoner’s home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is this the city chief’s house?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Did anii really build this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No no, if he did, he would’ve bragged about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he must have truly bought it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A house this big.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Incredible!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m so excited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said I’d get a spacious room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At home, I had a tiny, damp corner of a storage shed as my room…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, a proper room, just like I’ve always dreamed of!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And I’ll share it with Horlan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fufufufufufu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter what kind of woman anii’s wife is, I’ll get along with her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There’s no way I’m getting kicked out!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>-0-\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s been about ten days since I started working at anii’s house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For now, I’m helping out his wife, but anii expects me to take on the role of a housekeeper, so I’ll do my best.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I have no complaints about the wages he gives me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His wife is kind, and we get along well, so there shouldn’t be any trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though, I feel she could stand to be a bit more assertive considering she should be protecting her own home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe it’s because they’re still newly married.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She gets along with Horlan too, but both of them are careful not to get too close.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When they do interact, they make sure I’m with them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naturally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We don’t want any strange rumors floating around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m glad that Horlan is a very considerate person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Speaking of him, Horlan is about to start working, thanks to anii’s introduction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We’ve been relying on him a lot, but that’s why we came here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, we can’t depend on him forever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once anii’s wife safely gives birth and their child grows up, we might get kicked out…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this house is big enough, so maybe we’ll be fine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No no, I can’t get too comfortable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I need to work hard and make myself indispensable—so much so that they couldn’t possibly kick us out, even if they wanted to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>-0-\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oh, and one more thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Horlan and I have already reported our marriage at the church.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, no matter what anyone says, we’re officially husband and wife now!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We did it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After discussing with anii about leaving home without a word, he agreed to send some money to my family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said he’d ask them to accept that and give me their blessing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since I’m the only one in my family who can read and write, and I’m here now, sending a letter wouldn’t suffice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’ll cost extra, but anii arranged for a literate adventurer to read the letter for them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eh?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The adventurers are going to Horlan’s family as well?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anii really is going above and beyond for us.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I owe him so much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oh, right. The lord of Village Five… No, wait, not a lord—the village chief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I wonder if I should inform him about our situation…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I mean, if there’s even the slightest chance of causing trouble, it could lead to conflict between our village and this one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We would become a bother, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We don’t want that, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though the power difference is so much that it wouldn’t even be called a fight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It will still annoy the security people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「Whether or not it’ll cause trouble, I’ll make a report. Just to be safe.」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You know the village chief?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「Haha, I’m not that important. I’ll ask the head of the carpenter’s guild to bring it up with the village council.」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And we won’t get kicked out, will we?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「If something like this could get people kicked out, the population here would be cut in half.」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Does that suppose to make me feel better?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「Yes, just relax. Just be sure to contribute to the village and avoid causing any problems.」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oh, one more thing. To make sure we don’t bring any trouble to the village, I wanted to ask something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「What is it?」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I saw a holy maiden at the church. Should we be making donations?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If so, what’s the usual amount?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「Donations? Only give what you can afford. No one will complain about the amount.」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I see.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This place is so different from our old village.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And that holy maiden was selling some new sweets—dango, I think it was called that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「Technically, it’s sold at a shop attached to the church. Dango is really popular, so there’s usually a long line. But since you reported your marriage, they probably made an exception and sold some to you, right?」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yeah.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was delicious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「Sorry that you have to save them for me or my wife.」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oh, no need to apologize. You’ve done so much for us already.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, what exactly is dango?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was my first time eating it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「I don’t really know the details.」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You don’t know?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「As long as you know it’s tasty, that’s all that matters. Are we done with questions?」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not yet, I have more!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ehto, there was a Sword Saint in the guards, wasn’t there?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「She’s the real deal.」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yeah, I figured that much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「Why is she here? Probably because she wants to be—just like you or me.」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When you say it like that, I can’t say anything back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, the Three Knights are the same?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「The Three Knights?」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Silver Knight, the Bronze Knight, and the Iron Knight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「Oh, those three. Yeah, same deal. If they ever get tired of this place, they’ll just leave.」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But I saw them at the tavern with their squires, and they looked way too comfortable to leave anytime soon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「Well, that’s good! It means they’re not getting lonely around here.」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I also saw two grandpas who were apparently former members of the Four Heavenly Kings…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「They’re advisors to some important people in the village. They’ve got a lot of influence.」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I figured as much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oh, and speaking of important people, I saw the former princess of the Elven Empire here too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「Don’t forget the ‘former’ part. And don’t call her princess or she’ll look at you with eyes full of disgust.」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What about the royal princess?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「She won’t hate being called that, but she’ll probably just ask you to call her Yuri instead.」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s exactly what she said!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So I thought I’d call her Yuri-sama… but then… well…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「Did something happen?」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Demon King-sama was standing right next to Yuri-sama.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I could only manage an awkward smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「Ah, that’s because there’s a baseball game coming up.」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Baseball? That’s the sport where you hit a ball and run, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They play it on that field… what’s it called, a ground?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is Demon King-sama a fan of baseball?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「No, he’s the team manager.」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「Don’t look so shocked. I know, it’s strange, there are many people like them here but they’ve never really caused any trouble so you don’t have to be scared.」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even so…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「This village, on certain days, you might run into the Bloodsucking Princess or the Angel of Annihilation. There are also ancient devils and ancient dragons from time to time.」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oh…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now it makes sense why the lord—or rather, the village chief is a legendary Nine-Tailed Fox.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「Hey now, make sure to address her Youko-sama. Also, Youko-sama is the acting village chief. You can call her acting village chief.」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>U-understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Youko-sama, the Acting Village Chief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So there’s an actual chief above her?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「Of course. The village chief is even more powerful than Youko-sama.」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I haven’t seen him yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「That’s because the village chief is, rare. But sometimes, if you’re lucky, he’ll set up a food stall at night. You might catch a glimpse of him then.」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A food stall?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「Tasty stuff.」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>T-that’s not the point… ehto…is he that free to do whatever?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「Listen, little sister. Let me give you some advice.」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>W-What is it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「Unless the village chief is doing something dangerous, just watch and enjoy. If it looks fun, join in. That’s how you enjoy life in Village Five.」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So that’s the trick to living here…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don’t overthink things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「Exactly. Think you can manage?」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I… I’ll be fine!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My common sense has taken a bit of a hit, but I’ll figure it out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I puff out my chest, answering confidently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s only been ten days, but Village Five is starting to feel like a good place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s nothing like the village I used to live in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ll make sure to fit in here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oh, one last thing!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「What is it?」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who’s that guy… Five-kun?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was dancing with such sharp moves, and everyone adored him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「…You met him?」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eh?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yeah, we danced together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I even got a handshake!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「I’m so jealous!」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>-0-\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>AN: will be ‘Interlude: How to Bounce in Village Five’ from Horlan’s POV.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Best regards.\u003C\u002Fp>",1902,"2026-06-05T23:08:36.483Z",1,"novelbin.me","ed90de1355319915cd185cf1035d380c32dc804aae550b9732abf7f77842ac3d","isekai-nonbiri-nouka-chapter-876","isekai-nonbiri-nouka-chapter-874",1036,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fisekai-nonbiri-nouka-cover.jpg"]
