Chapter 8. You Make Loneliness Fade Ar went to the village to sell wild boar meat. Upon arrival, she noticed an unusual air of excitement. People bustled about, moving goods here and there. Wooden tables had been set up in the village square. "Jeff! Move that over there." "No, no, Hans, you can’t bring that here. It goes over there." "Mary, I brought what you needed earlier!" The square was teeming with activity. Young men worked together to carry heavy loads, while the adults…-

Chapter 7. Delicious. Hunters, in reality, have more free time than farmers. This is because most of their work involves setting traps to catch prey, requiring less labor time overall. While hunting may bring to mind the image of tracking and chasing animals, this method is less efficient compared to trapping. As such, hunters rarely pursued animals unless they stumbled upon nearby prey or highly valuable game. Ar primarily used the method of periodically checking animal tracks in…

Chapter 6. Found It. Leon’s face was flushed red, beads of cold sweat rolling down his forehead. She touched his burning hot forehead and found it scalding. The small cabin was filled with the sound of his heavy breathing. Panic-stricken, Ar tried shaking him awake, but Leon couldn’t even open his eyes, only groaning weakly. Desperate, she finally called his name—a name that had long hovered unspoken on her lips. "Leon." Even her quiet plea couldn’t rouse him. "Leon?…

Chapter 5: Outside the house Is Dangerous. Walking through the forest alone every day was one thing, but doing so with someone else made the familiar scenery feel different. Ar found himself suddenly wanting to show off every corner of the forest, her domain, but she reined in her overly excited feelings. The places where hunters set traps are a secret. Just as herbalists don’t share the locations of their precious herbs, the paths and habitats of prey are assets to the hunter who…

Chapter 4: I’m Not the Same as Before. Ar watched as Leon diligently worked, following her instructions on how to bake bread in the stone oven. She idly poked a fork into the bowl of tomatoes sitting on the table. “…!” The moment she bit into what she thought was an ordinary tomato, her eyes lit up. She reached for more with her fork, attacking the remaining pieces in the bowl. “What is this?” The flavor was so unique she couldn’t help but ask. This wasn’t the…

Chapter 3: I Am Generous. “Coat the wide pan with oil, and then pour the batter on top.” Seems like I’ll have to teach him step by step. Ar wondered once again whether it was worth keeping Leon, this burdensome guest, in her home. Perhaps noticing her inner conflict, Leon flawlessly cooked the batter without further trouble. “All done!” Ar was secretly surprised. Unlike her, who always managed to burn the edges or the back of her pancakes, Leon—clearly a…

Episode 2: Because It’s the First Time. Sitting quietly on the chair, he looked directly at her as if he had been waiting and was the first to offer an apology. Ar felt refreshed by this. After dealing with people who recently barged into her home, broke her belongings, and hurled unpleasant words, this was the first time she met someone who entered silently and started with an apology. Feeling not too bad, Ar listened to the visitor’s words. “I saw you earlier, luring away the…

Episode 1: Manners Make the Guest (Prologue) Rustle, rustle. A figure darted through the trees, glimpsed briefly before vanishing, nimble as a wild deer. Each time it came into view, it disappeared just as quickly, slipping away like a shadow. The figure, running ahead of a group of bandits, seemed almost within reach yet expertly concealed itself every time they got close. "That ****! Hiding is useless no matter where she goes!”I don't like swearing words, so I will minimize them…

HDOVAML Chapter 55 *** “Ugh…” A moan naturally flowed from my mouth. I struggled to move my rigid body and finally succeeded in raising my eyelids. “…Where am I?” And I stared in confusion for a long time, unable to accept the sight that came into view. I was swallowed up by an unknown black gust of wind and lost consciousness. When I opened my eyes again, I found myself in a quiet forest behind a magnificent and splendid old castle that was comparable to the…-

HDOVAML Chapter 54 *** “For what reason…?” The maids, Meinhardt, and eventually even the grandfather. Everyone said that the Kandel family was an ominous thing that should never be mentioned, but they did not tell me why they were so shunned, feared, and hated. “…….” If no one would tell me… I stiffened my expression and called the maids. I will just ask my teacher, Count Juppes, whom I distanced myself from before because I could no longer fully trust him,…
