Side Story 1. An Old Story Told by a Grandmother (5)
“Go back safely.”
“Grandpa Theo, be careful too.”
“It’s okay since I’m in the village. Rather, you are the problem.”
“I will protect it.”
“I guess I can protect it well with that body.”
“Haha…”
Teddy looked at Maria, scratching her head as if she was embarrassed. Looking at him like that, Maria sighed, pinched her side and said.
“Think of your body first.”
“This is enough.”
Teddy smiled awkwardly, running his hands down his sides. Theo looked at the two from across the room and had a soft smile on his lips.
‘I’m a little concerned about my origins, but… ‘
Since I was from a foreign country, there couldn’t have been something that bothered me a little.
If you turn around like a soldier who got stabbed, there will be no trouble.
But that doesn’t mean you can’t interfere in the personal affairs of a man and a woman. He could only hope that things would proceed peacefully.
————————
“Slowly, the wound is almost completely gone.”
“Thanks to Miss Maria. Thank you so much.”
“Once I get better, I’m ready to settle down in the village.”
“Haha, why not live here?”
“Are you saying you’re going to sit in a house where a woman lives alone?”
At Malia’s point, Teddy smiled sheepishly and avoided her gaze. It’s probably because she didn’t have the time or courage to say it out loud yet.
Maria bandaged her teddy’s body, glaring at him. Her wounds were almost completely healed now, leaving only her scars, but she was not completely healed yet.
“What are you going to do today?”
“It’s the same as usual. We will be cleaning, digging up herbs, and drying the herbs. Because the weather is sunny.”
“Please leave the hard work to me.”
“…And then the wound explodes and I don’t know.”
Maria spun around and disappeared across her room. Teddy looked blankly at her back, then took off her clothes and put them back on to bandage her.
‘It’s already been a month.’
If it’s long, it’s long, if it’s short, it’s short.
Teddy learned little by little about the woman named Maria.
A person who is cold on the outside but warm on the inside.
A person who has a strong side despite his her / her her soft appearance her
And, a person hiding some secret.
‘Any secret… Isn’t something that can’t be accepted.’
It’s a secret that can’t be told to anyone, and although it’s not a big deal for her, Teddy already has a crush on her. She was confident that she would not be surprised by anything now.
‘She doesn’t think she’s doing anything bad…’
It’s just wishful thinking, but can she say that having sweet dreams is a bad thing? He left her room, wondering how he could get closer to her.
Meanwhile, Maria went into her own room and changed into her work clothes. Digging up herbs is a task that is more prone to injury than expected, so careful preparation was essential.
She looked at the teddy bear placed at her bedside.
A living doll staring at you.
“What’s going on?”
As her very affectionate question gently wrapped around her teddy bear’s body her her, it came towards her and twirled around her, flapping its arms up and down.
“Aren’t you frustrated because you’re locked in your room?”
She shook her head violently at her sweet question. When she thought of Maria coming to see her in her free time even while she was working, instead of feeling frustrated, she felt happy.
“It won’t take long.”
Her gaze shifted to the side. A coffin placed in a corner of her room. A regret that she has not been able to let go of yet. Mary’s eyes looked at the dead person in her coffin with tenderness.
Even though it is blocked by the coffin lid, she can see her mother’s soul looking at her.
You won’t know what kind of expression the soul has until you open it.
‘…I don’t know what to do.’
The regrets that still remain.
She is not ready to open the coffin yet.
“…I don’t think he’s a bad person.”
Can you treat yourself the same even if you know the secret?
Won’t he turn back, just like everyone else did?
Unsure answer.

She turned around with a lonely face, grabbed the doorknob and turned it.
And, a cold emotion appeared on her face.

“Miss Maria. Is this the right herb? This is definitely…”
“Yes. It’s a poisonous plant. However, depending on how it is used, it can also be used as a medicinal herb.”
“As expected, Miss Maria. “You are very knowledgeable.”
“…Joy. Even if you praise me, nothing will change.”
The two got a little closer and chatted while carefully digging up herbs.
Although all the herbs grown in this forest were of high quality, they were difficult to handle, so Teddy was able to naturally have a conversation with Maria by asking her how to dig up the herbs.
“I thought about it before, but I heard monsters live here… But it’s quiet.”
“It doesn’t come to me.”
“I see.”
Teddy didn’t bother to ask why. Because Maria’s face showed that she didn’t want to tell. Even though he had never dated a woman, she had that level of insight.
“The area south of the forest where I live is safe, so as long as you don’t go up, you’ll be safe. “This is a safe zone in this forest’s territory.”
“It’s a safe zone…Is Miss Maria dividing the territory of the forest?”
“…It’s a little different, but yeah.”
“Great. After all, it’s Miss Maria.”
This forest, infested with monsters, was a land that many countries tried to clear throughout its long history, but ultimately failed.
Prohibited.
Cursed Forest.
Therefore, the forest she lived in was famous for being a land that did not allow human intrusion.
Because the herbs are so rare, herbalists take risks to come and go and die…
“…I just do my work.”
Her face whipped around. Teddy looked at that figure blankly. Because she saw Maria’s cheeks her her turn pink.
The atmosphere suddenly became awkward. The two people repeated digging up herbs and putting them in a colander in silence. For some reason, the atmosphere has become awkward to talk about.
The first time the two opened their mouths was right after they left the room.
“Let’s go back.”
“I understand.”
The two turned their backs in silence.
And then, I stood there and froze.
“Miss Maria, that is…”
“If you go in that direction, the werewolves…”
A fire that is clearly visible even from a distance.
The two noticed that something strange had happened in the forest.
