And another thing. Erica's childhood friend, Roderick, was far from always winning—he was a boy who always lost. "Mom! Over there!" Eric suddenly shouted urgently, pointing down the hill. Erica turned around, flinched, and pushed the children behind her. Something huge and bright red was striding up the hill toward them. Erica reflexively drew her hatchet and shouted. "Ro, Roderick!" "Yes?" The moment the red monster lifted its head and answered, Erica felt deflated and lowered her…-

Roderick delivered the final blow to Erica's hesitation. "I'll earn the travel expenses." "How?" "By taking short-term mercenary jobs or hunting monsters and selling their parts." If she hadn't seen Roderick fight, she would have thought it was just typical male bravado. "......Fine. I'll trust you one more time." It wasn't like she had any better options than trusting Roderick. In the end, Erica did something she never thought she would do. The four of them began their long journey…

Smack! De, death. This isn't a dance of love but a dance of death. * * * "......" Erica's mouth fell open. Like the wall before her eyes. Good heavens. To think this thick wall would crack. Even more surprising was that the culprit creating the long crack from ceiling to floor, wide enough for Erica's hand to slip through, was the sword that had fallen right below it. Is Roderick that strong? Or is this house poorly constructed? Considering the old house and cheap rent, the latter…

Time seemed to stop until she spotted Roderick's silhouette among the numerous black silhouettes before her eyes. Only then did Erica unconsciously release the breath she had been holding. But the relief didn't last long. Immediately, other large silhouettes pounced all at once. Even in the midst of the melee unfolding in darkness, Erica could recognize Roderick precisely. Among unfamiliar shapes, the familiar silhouette moved like a gale. Black figures fell one by one like trees in a…

"Wow, right? But where are Mom and Dad?" Eric scratched his head and pointed to the empty space outside the parchment. "Mom and Dad are cutting grass here." It seemed he had drawn when they went to gather herbs. "But what's this?" Elodie pointed to a white lump connected to her hand in the picture. "This? A puppy." "Wow, we got a puppy." The picture gift somehow turned into a puppy gift. With both the recipient and giver satisfied, Erica breathed a sigh of relief. Elodie, wearing…

Only then did Roderick raise his wet finger and point. At his tightly closed lips. Telling her to keep her mouth shut? After understanding his innocent gesture, her stomach felt even more annoyed. As the irritated Erica moved away grinding her teeth, she heard a snicker from behind. Erica gritted her teeth and picked up the whisk Eric had left on the counter. The whisk flew in an arc and splashed into the dishwashing basin. "Ah! The water splashed." Serves him right. It was hard to hold back…

Roderick was finally able to say what he had wanted to that day only the next day. "Erica, let's leave together." "Are you still drunk?" He had only had one beer, yet he was misunderstood as talking drunkenly. So the next day, when he was definitely sober, he asked again. "No, I can't. Go by yourself." In the end, he begged. "Erica, please come with me." "Leave the shop that's finally established? Are you full? Because I'm not." He was repeatedly treated as if talking nonsense.…

The children were pitiful and I was in an impossible situation. I couldn't hurt their young hearts, nor could I ignore the wound in my own heart. There's nothing wrong with mothering someone else's child. But the problem was that the 'someone else' happened to be the man who betrayed her. It would be good for Eric to have a dad too. Especially if it's his biological father. But how should she properly explain that his biological father never married his mother, and that he has a half-sister only…

Not only had his location been discovered, but also the existence of Erica and Eric. Now he couldn't leave them behind. It was time to make a decision. Roderick pulled out something hidden under his shirt sleeve. A thin, sharp awl glinted. There was no soldier standing guard at the inn. The snoring men all died without even screaming as the awl pierced their hearts. Thus, nine elite knights were massacred in an instant. Roderick changed his plan with a stupid but certain action. To buy…

"Hello." The first person to jump up and greet was Elodie. When the child who usually hid first and never greeted visitors cheerfully said hello as if she had been waiting, the landlady hesitated momentarily. "Y-yes. Hello, Elodie. Have you been well?" Elodie gave a broad smile rarely shown to strangers, then lightly followed Erica who was heading toward the landlady, poking her head out from behind her skirt and said. "Elodie got a mom." "What?" The landlady opened her eyes wide and…
