The Spirit Hunter System
Friendly Smile?
In a dining room that looks beautiful.
Melly's figure seemed to eat the dish in front of her voraciously. Compared to before, the little girl looked even more lively.
"It seems like you've been having fun lately ... Melly." - Melly."
Hearing the voice of the woman who looked cold and made my hair stand up, Melly's movement stopped. The girl tried to put on a flat face, then stared at the source of the voice.
In addition to the figure of a fat man wearing a nice suit, it looked a female figure. She had pale white skin, long straight black hair, and a very pretty face.
Only, a blank expression appeared on the face of the beautiful woman. Rather than describing him as a human, he actually looked more like a pale corpse figure that could move.
The woman asked in a cold tone. His expression did not change, even he did not look towards Melly. It looks like I'm asking randomly.
However, Melly knew that the woman .. her mother was not messing around at all.
"I don't understand what you mean, Mother."
Melly said in a calm tone as usual. But his body was still trembling slightly, even though he had tried to hold it back.
The woman briefly glanced at Melly and found out that the little girl was lying. He then refocused on the dish in front of him. Cutting the meat steak, the woman said in an indifferent tone.
"Then it's okay. But as a mother, I want to remind ...
It is better not to play too much with stray dogs and cats. I don't want to see you get sick when you're accidentally scratched or bitten."
Hearing her mother's words, Melly's breath was held back. She is convinced that her mother has seen that in recent months, since Melly was rescued by Elbert.
Trying to calm herself down, Melly lowered her head because she did not want her mother to see the expression on her face.
After a while and finally calmed down, Melly finally said.
"I understand, Mother."
***
Years just pass by.
Without feeling, Melly finally matured.
The girl looked at the figure of the handsome man she already knew, and related to him for many years secretly.
"I-I was afraid that Dad and Mom would refuse, Elbert. What if we just run away? I ... I feel like things aren't going to be as easy as you think."
Elbert who was wearing neat clothes smiled brightly towards Melly.
"Just calm down, Melly. I have passed the selection as a soldier. After returning with a higher rank, I will marry you soon."
"..."
Seeing the confident smile on Elbert's face, Melly became even more confused. On the one hand, the girl felt happy and quite proud. While on the other hand, he was still afraid that his parents would reject Elbert who was only an orphan, even just a descendant of farmers.
"Elbert"
Feeling unable to refute any longer, the withered Melly finally nodded.
An hour later, in the living room of Melly's house.
"Thus ... I'd like to marry Melly after my return, sir! Madam!"
Elbert said with a stern and determined expression.
Sitting on the sofa opposite Elbert, looked a couple. Although spelled husband and wife, they seem less suitable because of the appearance of heaven and earth.
Melly's figure stood behind her parents, staring at the earnest Elbert with a moved, even loving expression.
Glancing at her father's expression that seemed like it would 'explode' at any moment, Melly knew everything would not go that surfing. But when her father was about to stand up and berate her, Melly's mother stopped the man.
Surprisingly, the middle-aged man really did not fight back and only nodded lightly.
"Son Elbert, right?"
"Y-Yes, Madam!"
"We know your resolve." The woman nodded. "However, you won't go give false hope or maybe come back a dozen years later, making our Melly a spinster, will you?"
"I promise, in three ... no! Two years I will be back with enough military achievements!
It won't keep Melly waiting for long and won't let her down!"
"What a young spirit ..."
The woman nodded lightly, even showing a gentle smile on her face.
"Then, we'll look after Melly and wait for you for two years. However, don't waste our chance, son Elbert."
Hearing the woman's words, Elbert who thought she was so cold and hard to deal with was shocked. He immediately saluted and said excitedly.
"S-I won't let Mr and Madam down!"
Looking towards Elbert, the woman smiled.
"Then take good care of yourself .. and be sure to return safely, son Elbert."
"Thank you, Madam!"
Elbert felt that it turned out that 'mother-in-law' was not as cold as she had imagined.
It's just that, since Elbert lowered his head, he didn't know ...
He did not know that despite smiling, rather than looking beautiful ...
The smile on Mother Melly's flat face just looked so terrible.
