chapter 33
33. The Ideal Couple Plan
“For example, Kuzuha-san.”
As soon as I mentioned her name, Sora-san’s hand, which was holding a spoon, froze, and his eyes darted around as if looking for an escape. It was obvious that he was flustered and trying to think of an excuse to give me . Sora-san gulped down the green tea in his glass and denied it in a muffled voice.
By the way, that glass contains medicine that I created with my Philance Green weapon. I wasn’t able to make it completely colorless, transparent, tasteless, and odorless because I focused on its effects, but if I mix it into green tea and put it in a colored glass next to a meal with a strong flavor and aroma, it’s almost impossible to notice. I used to have a complex about my weapon because it’s harder to use than other heroes’ weapons, but if I can use it to persuade Sora-san like this, then it could be said that this was fate.
“You don’t have to be so flustered.”
Without realizing it, Sora-san is still panicking. He must think that I’ve found out about his affair and am trying to blackmail him, and he’s desperately trying to cover it up. I love his clumsy, childish side too.
“W-well, I’m not flustered.”
However, the fact that Sora-san’s reaction confirmed it for me has me with a great sense of sadness. Sora-san has misunderstood Kuzuha-san’s true nature and has grown attached to her to some extent. It seems Sora-san is quite filled bold to have taken a young mistress so soon after our marriage, and he must be quite popular. As a wife, it makes me happy that my husband is charming, but it’s also a source of anxiety
After that, I suggested that we cut off our relationship with Mrs. Kutaba as much as possible. This was not because of my jealousy or selfishness as a wife, but to prevent Sora-san from being deceived by a bad woman. For his sake , who is too kind to doubt people and sympathize with a woman who pretends to be weak, I would tell him the truth. It was all my duty as an ideal partner for Sora-san. I tried to tell him that he was being deceived by that girl.
However, unfortunately, the kind Sora-san couldn’t listen to my opinion because he couldn’t doubt his fellow hero. While listening to my persuasion earnestly, he looked a little troubled. Looking at that expression, I understood that Sora-san had no intention of breaking up with Mrs. Kutaba at the moment. I realized that even if he knew Mrs. Kutaba’s true nature, he wouldn’t be able to ignore her feelings as a fellow hero.
“Uguisu-sa…”
Since I knew that it would be difficult to persuade him with words, it seems that the medicine I had prepared in advance had worked. Sora-san collapsed sideways, still holding the spoon, as he called my name halfway through. Of course, it’s not something that would have a bad effect on the human body. It’s the same as sleeping pills.
“I’m sorry, Sora-san”
After confirming that Sora-san didn’t answer, I stood up and locked the door. Just in case, I also put on the chain.
“Is it my lack of ability that makes you seek other women? Am I a bad wife who feels bitter when you are kind to other girls? Is it so reckless of me to want to monopolize your kindness?”
Sora-san, who is sleeping soundly in my room, has a very relieved smile on his face, unlike the anxious and puzzled expression he had earlier. I want Sora-san to keep smiling like this forever. The other heroes will not only desire Sora-san’s interest and affection, but will eventually resort to dangerous means. True peace will not come to us as long as they are around Sora-san.
I took the spoon that he was still holding from Sora-san’s right hand, and gently lifted his sleeping head and placed it on my thigh, which I had crossed in seiza style. I hope Sora-san will have an even better dream on my lap.
“Fufu, that’s good. He’s sleeping so peacefully.”
When I stroked Sora-san’s slightly stiff hair, I found myself smiling too. My heart was filled with renewed happiness. Sora-san, who doesn’t deny me, a place where no one can disturb us. All it takes is this, and it’s the happiest place in the world. It would be easy to achieve if Sora-san were my Sora-san alone, but the obstacles are too great for me.
I want Sora-san to understand. That our happy future will be further away if he sympathizes with other women. And I want him to accept only me.
“Hey, Sora-san, am I not enough?”
When I asked him that while gently stroking his cheek with my right hand, Sora-san let out a small snore.
“I’ll be the ideal wife. I’ll cook delicious and nutritious meals every day. I’m good at cleaning and laundry, and I earn enough as a hero. All you have to do is watch me work. Of course, I won’t lock you up in the house. You can go out freely, but I’ll always be by your side, yeah, I won’t get in your way. I just want to be by your side as your escort. So that you won’t be fooled by bad women. There’s no other intention. Sora-san is my precious husband, so nothing should happen to you.”
Sora-san answers my thoughts with a snore.
“I’m not as thick-skinned as the other heroes, but I can still be of service to you. I’m not just someone who needs to be protected. If you choose me, I’ll prove it to you right away . You can trust me and rely on me, and just worry about me. I’m the only one you can trust, so just look at me and forget about everything else.”
Sora-san answers with a snore.
“Don’t get me wrong, I’m not going to get angry or tie you down if you get close to other heroes. Because a woman who does that will be dumped, right? I’m not saying that cheating is a man’s ability, but I don’t think it’s a good wife’s job to suppress the desire to be liked by multiple women. But it’s true that I’m sad if your love is directed even a little towards other women. That’s why I want to be a wife who is so attractive that you won’t care about other women. I want Sora-san to be satisfied with me alone, my love alone to fill Sora-san, and your love to be poured out only on me. I don’t want to share it with anyone, not a drop, I want to fill everything with our thoughts for each other. Love will be an eternal energy that flows only between us, and that love will become my strength and save the world. Isn’t that wonderful? It’s not just for us, it’s an ideal couple that the world should bless. It can’t be done with any third party, it’s a peace that can’t be achieved if anyone comes between us.”
Sora-san answers with a snore.
“So please, Sora-san. Be my Sora-san alone. Sora-san and I are two chosen people who are bound by fate. I am yours, and you are mine. You realize it, don’t you? You know it, don’t you? Because we have a relationship that is deeply connected in our hearts in such a short time. Forget about the other insignificant women and let’s create a world with just the two of us, Sora-san. I don’t t need anyone but you in my world. Sora-san must also feel the same way, so please don’t force yourself to be close to other women. This is also for Sora-san’s sake, because I am indispensable for Sora-san’s happiness. Let’s be together, let me fill all of you, Sora-san.”
Sora-san is sleeping with a peaceful smile.
“It’s okay, it’s okay. Sora-san will definitely understand.”
I reached for the shelf and took out a small vial from it. The vial, which is only about five centimeters tall, contains a blue-green liquid. Of course, this is also a medicine I created.
“Here, drink this first, Sora-san. This is the beginning of our ideal married life. I haven’t shown you this yet, but my hero suit is shaped a bit like a nurse’s uniform. My weapon is like this, too . Maybe I’m your angel in white for Sora-san? Fufu, it’s green, not white, though.”
I tilted Sora-san’s head on my knee a little and touched his lips. I couldn’t help but feel a little surprised at the feeling of his slightly wrinkled lips on the tip of my thumb, even though I wasn’t kissing him.
“It’s a little bitter and painful, so I had you sleep first, but will you scold me later for being so presumptuous? But both your arms and legs will be permanently numb and you won’t be able to move properly, so I’ m sure you’ll forgive me because our bond will deepen as I take care of you. This is an obstacle to our love, and it is necessary for Sora-san to know that I am the only one who can bring you happiness. Besides , th, that, I made sure that it wouldn’t affect the function of the important parts, so it won’t interfere with our conjugal life.”
I opened the lid of the vial with one hand and put the mouth of the vial to Sora-san’s mouth.
“If you can’t live without me, Sora-san will understand what I’m saying. You will know that we are the happiest when we are alone together. You will realize that I am different from other women, that I am the only partner who is truly worthy of Sora-san. We need time alone for that, so please bear with me for a little while. When you really understand, I will detoxify you then. And until you understand, I will serve you as your arms and legs. It’s a perfect plan. Fufu, I’m sure Sora-san will praise me when he understands everything. What a clever wife I am.”
I tilted the vial, being careful not to let my hand shake along with my loosened mouth.
