”…Why did Cynthia-san get married?” She muttered to herself
Cynthia and Danny At least fro couple Danny didn't seeenuinely curious as to why Cynthia chose to marry Danny of all people
”Ah~… My sister-in-law is a bit unfortunate, isn't she?” Tina answered, looking triumphant
”Unfortunate?”
”She wanted to marry someone else It's like she sold herself”
”…What do you htly in interest
Tina lowered her voice, indicating that the conversation doesn't leave the rooo My sister-in-law's younger sister came doith a fever The town had the medicine we needed, but it was much too expensive… Her family was poor and didn't knohat to do That's when that man,” she spoke those last words with spite, ”—said, 'If ere related I could save her…' as he showed his money He even knew that she had a lover!”
”W-, that's…”
In other words, she threay her lover to be at Danny's side if it meant her sister would be saved
Aileen groaned and furrowed her broith an expression that said she regretted asking ”So… Did he save her sister?”
”…Yes That ti bitter ”Not even a roup of wild animals and died”
”My God”
”And then he said, 'What a waste of -faced bastard”
”P-pig…”
She put it frankly, and she wasn't wrong Aileen's face twitched, even though she was asleep she'd felt the same
Since Tina called Cynthia her sister-in-law, that would make Danny her brother-in-law Even so, she clearly hated him
”You don't like him, do you?”
”Of course not! Not a single person in this village does!” She put her hands on her hips and puffed her cheeks out angrily ”He puts other people to work like he's in charge, and then he doesn't even do his oork! He'll just stay holed up in his home all day, and when he finally does coo have fun in another town Further to brothels Even after hehis wife… I do feel bad for h People say the reason she can't have children anyhed ”I feel depressed thinking that he e leader… They should just make my husband the leader”
After she finished her rant, Aileen's expression also turned bitter
Matriht by money Hated by everyone Frequented brothels
Aileen's impression of hiht of staying one e leader's house—made her feel uncomfortable
”Um, Tina-san”
”Yes?”
”The truth is, this is only between us,” Aileen lowered her voice and told Cynthia about that from earlier
”What!?” Her eyes widened and her face paled when she heard that Danny was there ”W-ere you okay!?”
”I think so… I don't think anything else happened to me”
”There wasn't anything sticky or slimy on you, was there?!”
”I-I don't think so…” She scowled and looked a little sick as she shook her head
Tina sighed in relief and pressed her fingers against her teo for visitors, too…” Her brilliant eyes slowly fell onto the butcher knife in the kitchen ”Rather… That's right If I do that, then Cronen will be the village leader…”
”N-No! I just wanted to ask if I could stay soing beginning to show in her eyes
Tina s!' Whether she was joking or serious, she see a bad decision
Then the door made a noise as it opened
”Heey, Tina! Are you—huh?” Cronen entered the house He iping his sweat on a towel in one hand and held a gardening sickle in the other His gaze stopped and he blinked a few ti room ”Oh, she's here…?”
”Perfect tileamed and she shook her head before she ran up to hi on its prey and explained the situation ”—That's what happened! This is your chance, dear!” Her breathing was rough, ”Let's spread what happened and end his shot at being the next village leader!”
Cronen re to weather a headache He gave a sardening sickle
”Wha-!?”
”…Sorry, miss Just wait here for a moment”
He grabbed Tina by the ar, and pulled her outside
”Ye-, sure…” Aileen was left alone and slightly dumbfounded
The sound of stea from the pot lid filled the room
”…Oh, the water is done”
