Side Story 1: The Wind That Blows Alongside Love

The sun’s rays warmed us in this perfect weather.

“Right. This way, Mr. Yuki.”

“G-Got it.”

With Nell leading me by the hand, I walked carefully on one of the raised footpaths between the rice fields that stretched out endlessly around us. The plants’ stalks swayed lazily in the wind. There weren’t a lot of houses nearby, and I hardly saw anyone except the occasional old man or woman toiling in the fields. Whaddya know. Guess country life is the same across worlds.

I turned my gaze this way and that as I took in the sights. My thoughts must’ve shown on my face because Nell spoke to me with a smile on hers.

“Not much here, is there?”

“Nope.”

For some reason, this village made me feel both tranquil and nostalgic. We were in the place Nell had grown up, located on the outskirts of the royal capital. It’d taken about three hours to get here by stagecoach from the capital. There wasn’t anything particularly good or bad about this region; it was just another area managed by some normal noble.

Nell had cheerfully explained to me earlier that they technically had a local specialty—a fruit similar to mandarin orange. But it wasn’t terribly hard to get since it was grown in various other regions of the country too. Well, since we’re here, it wouldn’t hurt to buy some as souvenirs.

Now, she giggled when she glanced at me.

“Will you stop already? You really needn’t be so nervous, you know.”

“Y-You say that, but... Which reminds me, what should I call your mom? ‘Ms. Noira’? Just ‘mom’ since she’s basically my mother-in-law? ‘Mother’?”

Noira was Nell’s mom’s name. I really couldn’t stop freaking out about what to call her. I needed someone experienced with meeting the parents to teach me how things worked. Somebody, anybody, please...

“Um... Well, I suppose I can understand your nerves, then.”

“Okay, good, so it’s not just me.”

She mulled it over thoughtfully before taking her time responding.

“I think ‘mom’ is fine. ‘Ms. Noira’ sounds too stiff, like she’s a stranger, and she was never much for formalities. I’m sure you calling her ‘mom’ would’ve amused her.”

“Yeah? Then maybe that’s exactly what I’ll do.”

Though I was kinda confused as to why Nell’d used the past tense to refer to her mother, I didn’t think too hard about it. I just nodded and agreed.
