ISEKAI? More like I See Crap!-Chapter 237: Dreams of a Quiet Life ( )

Inside Ellyn’s mind...

Uncle’s not that handsome...

Her tail flicked slightly as she gazed at the ceiling, cheeks pink.

But he’s serious. Reliable. A little clueless... but he always shows up when it really matters.

She curled herself tighter into her pillow.

And we’re already bound by the Pinky Promise Oath...

She paused.

Umm... well... I was the one who tricked him into that, anyway.

Her ears twitched as she giggled.

Now he just needs to wait... less than two years. fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm

Then... tehe~

We’ll be together.

Married.

And—

"Kyaa~!!" Ellyn squealed, kicking her feet under the blanket, face buried in the pillow.

From across the room, Faria looked up, one brow raised.

"...Daydreaming again?"

"N-No!" Ellyn yelled back, muffled by the fabric.

"Just practicing marriage reactions!!"

"...That’s not how that works, Princess."

"You don’t know~"

Ellyn’s tail swayed happily as she clutched her pillow tighter, eyes shining brightly.

"We’ll live in the hills..." she whispered dreamily, cheeks glowing.

"A small house... simple life... just me and him..."

Faria didn’t even look up from her book.

"And we’ll have lots of children running around..."

Ellyn blinked.

Faria smirked.

"Calling him ’Papa~! Papa~!’ one after another, right?"

"KYAA!!" Ellyn squealed, kicking her feet like a startled squirrel caught mid-fantasy.

"D-Don’t say it out loud!!"

"What? You were already halfway to making a name list, weren’t you?"

"N-No I wasn’t!!"

Faria calmly flipped a page.

"Let me guess... the first one will be a girl with golden hair and the same smug smile as you?"

"Uwaaa! Fariaaaa!!" Ellyn rolled under the blanket, wrapping herself like a burrito to hide the embarrassment burning in her ears.

Faria chuckled.

"If nothing else, I can’t wait to see him deal with five little Ellyns."

"...So do I..." Ellyn mumbled from under her blanket, smiling like a fox with a secret.

Ellyn poked her head out from under the blanket, blinking innocently.

"But... Princess~" Faria said, her voice light and teasing.

"Hmm?" Ellyn tilted her head.

Faria kept her eyes on her book.

"He’s a human, you know."

"I know~" Ellyn replied with a playful grin.

"You’re a beastkin princess."

"Yes~"

Faria slowly flipped a page.

"You know..."

"Hmm?"

Finally, Faria looked over the top of her book with a smile.

"Humans... are usually bigger than beastfolk."

Ellyn blinked again.

"...Huh? What do you mean, Faria?"

Faria gave a slow, innocent smile.

"Well... you’ll understand once you both get married."

There was a pause.

A soft click inside Ellyn’s mind.

Then—

"EEEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHHHHHH!?!?!?!?"

Her face turned bright red, steam practically rising from her ears.

She flailed inside the blanket, screaming like a boiling kettle.

"Faria, you perv!!! You’re the knight!! Stop thinking like that!!"

Faria chuckled calmly, completely unfazed.

"I’m just preparing you, Princess. It’s part of the royal training."

"THAT’S NOT PART OF ANY TRAINING!!!"

Meanwhile, in Macia Town...

The early afternoon sun cast long, warm shadows on the stone road.

Hazuki yawned, stretching slightly as he walked slowly toward the gate, one hand in his pocket, the other hanging loosely.

Behind him, the town was bustling as usual—vendors shouting, carts rolling, beastkin children darting between the alleys.

And above him—

"Woosh~!! Gyarhh!"

Ridan spun in midair, twirling like a leaf caught in an invisible current, diving and flipping without a care.

Hazuki blinked once, watching him.

Ridan paused, then zoomed off again into another loop.

Hazuki squinted.

"...What the hell are you even doing?" he muttered.

Ridan spiraled back toward him, lazily upside-down in mid-flight.

"Aerodynamic enhancement training!"

"You’re a spirit."

"So? Can’t a guy enjoy his day off?" Ridan grinned, spinning around Hazuki’s head like a drunk mosquito.

Hazuki sighed, scratching the back of his neck.

"Feels weird. It’s too peaceful."

He looked toward the town gate in the distance.

"...Hope nothing stupid happens today."

Ridan stopped mid-air, slowly turned to face Hazuki with a blank stare.

"...You just jinxed it."

"...Crap."

Ridan floated closer, arms behind his head, smirking mid-air, "we’re going to leave Macia Town soon anyway."

Hazuki yawned again.

"Huh? We’re walking again?"

"Of course!!" Ridan did a loop.

"Didn’t you say you wanted to see the whole world? Gawk at girls from every race?"

Hazuki’s eye twitched.

"Oi! I never said that!"

"No? Are you sure? Because I—"

"I’m bound by the pinky promise, remember!"

"Of course I remember!" Ridan spun once, grinning.

"That’s why I’m the one who wants to see the girls. You? You’re just sightseeing scenery~"

Hazuki grunted.

"...Maybe I should start writing about this journey."

Ridan floated upright, interested.

"Oh?"

"Yeah. Walking, sightseeing... maybe writing or painting, you know?" Hazuki scratched his cheek, lost in thought.

"Save enough coin... buy some land... build a small house..."

His eyes softened.

"Live quietly with my... ahhh~ sweet Ellyn..."

A pause.

Ridan hovered, eyebrow raised.

"The kid one?"

Hazuki froze.

His head snapped toward Ridan, face burning with anger and embarrassment.

"OI!! THE ADULT!!"

Ridan burst into laughter, flipping mid-air in victory.

"Pfft—oh man! That pause was just perfect! You’re so whipped!"

"I WILL PURGE YOU WITH FIRE, YOU FLOATING GHOST ORB!!"

Hazuki stretched his arms over his head, sighing.

"Well... eight more years."

Ridan floated beside him with a smug little grin.

"Less than eight years, you dumbass."

Hazuki blinked and tilted his head.

"Hmm?"

"She’s having her birthday soon, remember?" Ridan floated lazily in the air.

"So technically... it’s less than eight."

Hazuki looked up at the sky.

"Oh. Yeah. Seven years left, huh."

He exhaled slowly, more calm this time.

"Still feels long. But... I’ll wait."

Ridan floated behind him, spinning silently.

In his mind—

"Yeah, yeah... seven..."

"if this idiot knew the truth—that he only has to wait less than two years..."

"He’d probably camp outside the capital walls, making bentos and grilled meat every day, waiting for her."

"He’d never leave. Never finish his mission. Just sit there like a loyal dog."

Ridan’s smirk faded slightly, replaced by a quieter expression.

"Better not tell him yet."

Then, with a sudden flick—

"Oi! Let’s go. We’ve got a test to take. Gotta make money for that little dream house, remember?"

Hazuki scratched his cheek, muttering.

"Tch. Yeah, yeah. Stupid party, stupid guild, stupid noble clothes..."

"Don’t forget the kids. They want sweet rolls at the party."

"Ughh... fine. Let’s get this over with."
