The Villain Wants to Live Quietly - The Villain Wants to Live Quietly chapter 177

Special Chapter. Look back on the path you have walked on the path you are going to walk (3)

In the end, the fishing bet ended with Anis winning.

Ludwig deliberately released the fish he caught while the two couldn’t see and adjusted the number, and Emilia was defeated by Anis, who focused on her eyes.

“Did you see it!? Now I can easily beat my mother!”

After all, did the special training with Paula have any results?

In the past, the Eyepretz couple let out a low exclamation at the remarkable growth of Anis, who had been able to lift it less often than Emilia.

In the midst of this, Emilia could not hide her resentment and declared war with a cold smile, as if her unique desire to compete had been activated.

“It might be different next time. Wash your throat and wait, Anise.”

“Hey, try as much as you like!”

Ludwig questioned whether this was a conversation befitting a mother-daughter relationship, but I wondered if it was better than the cold one.

In a way, it must be a way for the two to strengthen their own bond.

“By the way, daughter, have you decided where you are going?”

“of course. There were so many places I wanted to go alone with my dad.”

“Is that enough?”

As a father, Ludwig was both delighted and amazed at his daughter’s undeserved love.

Even though I don’t remember doing anything good to my daughter, how can she follow me so well?

Perhaps this is the ideal image of a daughter that all fathers want.

“To expect. I’m already thinking about it in my head.”

“hahahaha, then you must be mindful. Then Emilia will regret it, but let her yield to her daughter for just one day.”

“I’m not the type to say two things with one mouth either. It’s just a pity that it’s a pity. fit.”

At least, if Ludwig was only in the mansion, he could visit him occasionally and see his face, but if he went out with Anise, the story would be different.

Emilia, who had been forced to live without her husband for a day without moving, already imagined that day and licked her lips with regret.

But what can I do? that the results have already come out.

“Ugh… … .”

After the bloody battle between mother and daughter was over, Anis, relieved of tension, rubbed her eyes.

I didn’t know time was passing because I was engrossed in night fishing, but it must have already passed midnight.

“You seem to be getting sleepy, Anis.”

“Joe, a little bit.”

When Ludwig took his daughter’s fishing rod and spoke quietly, Anis blushed in embarrassment.

Because I felt like a child.

“Well, if you were at the mansion, it would be time for Anise to go to sleep.”

“Oh, mom too. I’m not even a child… … .”

“Huh, how are you? Having a regular life is not a bad thing, is it?”

She was like a tomboyish girl, but despite this, she had a sincere personality leading a regular life.

For her, staying awake until dawn is quite rare.

So it was not strange that the body reacted immediately.

“Then shall we go to sleep? I have to hurry to reach Astepor early tomorrow.”

“I see. I’ll watch the bonfire for a while, so you can go to bed first with Anise.”

Although it is not the middle of winter, the morning air is quite chilly.

The party, who had to rely solely on the bonfire for warmth to fall asleep, needed at least one person to keep the fire burning.

Ludwig assumed the role and returned to his original position with his wife and daughter.

There was a makeshift shelter made of windbreaks of a rather dark blue-green color.

Since he would only sleep for one day, there was no need to make it grandiose, so it was a bed that Ludwig made by connecting trees around him and laying leaves and blankets on the floor.

It was built quite large, leaving enough space for three people, but Ludwig sat on a log outside and poked the fire with a tinder.

Maybe it’s just before dawn that I can finally fall asleep.

“What about Mom and Dad?”

“I’ll probably keep the fire on and sleep. Anise should hurry up and get ready to go to sleep.”

“Yeah? But… … .”

Anise felt burdened by Ludwig spending the night alone because he was not used to this kind of structure because it was his first time camping.

At least, if a servant or a coachman had accompanied them, the work could have been shared.

However, the reason why only the three of them came out was because of her childishness, so I felt sorry for him first.

“Oh, Dad. there… … .”

Swoop.

Anise went up to him apologetically and was about to say something, but Ludwig struck first and put his hand on her head.

The conversation between the mother and daughter a while ago was all over his ears.

“Don’t worry and get a good night’s sleep, Anis. Anyway, Dad will watch over me for an hour or two and then go to sleep.”

“really… What?”

“then. You have to drive a carriage tomorrow, but you can’t stay up all night.”

Of course, that would be a choice based on the circumstances, but this was the only way to reassure Anis first.

Besides, there was a way to wake Emilia up if it really seemed like it wouldn’t work.

Although the possibility of him making such a choice as a pathetic person is remarkably low.

side.

“Sleep well, Anise. If you feel cold, tell Dad or Mom.”

Ludwig kissed the forehead of his lovely daughter, who was worried about her father, and personally returned her body as if telling her to go.

Then, belatedly, Anis greeted him.

“yes… Good night, Dad.”

“Okay, have a good night.”

Ludwig, who smiled and sent his daughter into the tent, met Emilia’s gaze outside.

Sure enough, she strode over to her husband and kissed him before going to bed.

After marriage, as long as they were not separated from each other, it was like a routine where they didn’t miss a single day.

Before long, their lips parted, and Emilia lowered her tiptoe that she had lifted up cutely.

“If you’re having a hard time, don’t be stubborn and ask me?”

“hahahaha, I’ll try.”

“You are too… … .”

Emilia smiled wryly as she realized that trying meant not to watch the fire, but to try not to call her.

Anyway, he is a stubborn man in a strange place.

“Because Anise is worried, go to bed early if possible. Even if the fire goes out, you can light it up with magic right away, right?”

“Because getting up again is cumbersome. But don’t worry, I’ll go to bed as early as possible.”

After reassuring his daughter and then his wife, Ludwig was able to get his hands on the kindling again.

Somehow, even if it wasn’t because of the bonfire, it felt like a part of my heart was getting warmer.

* * * * * * *

Ludwig opened his eyes to the warm sunlight that crept in between the tents.

By the time he came out, Emilia was already grilling the meat, just like he did yesterday.

It wasn’t a huge amount, just enough for a snack.

“I could sleep more, but on days like this, I always wake up early.”

Emilia bruised him as he cautiously stepped out of the tent.

He must have slept late yesterday, so I deliberately let him sleep as quietly as possible, but he couldn’t stand the bird and woke up.

He is a very diligent man. Of course, that’s not what she would say.

“Dad, good night.”

Anise, who had been dipping her feet in the stream for a while, came back and greeted her father.

Unlike the bed in the mansion, it must have been quite uncomfortable, but her face was refreshing.

Perhaps, having inherited Emilia’s lineage, he was surprisingly quick to adapt to this environment.

“Okay, did you sleep well? anise. Did you sleep well too?”

“Thanks. Would you mind not sleeping more than that?”

“I’m fine. And yesterday I fell asleep earlier than expected.”

I’m not really lying, I actually fell asleep pretty early.

I couldn’t measure the exact time because I didn’t have a watch, but Ludwig seemed to have entered the tent at least around 3:00 in the morning.

“I’m glad that’s the case… After all, it would be nice to stop by the village and rest on the way back. Anise worried a lot?”

“Is it? our daughter.”

“Everyone, of course I’m worried. Because my father suffered for nothing… … .”

Anis, who was slightly embarrassed by Ludwig’s gaze, muttered in a voice that was like an ant crawling with her hands together.

As soon as she woke up in the morning, she checked to see if her father had entered the tent, so you could tell how great her concern was.

“Guy, no worries. Daddy isn’t stupid, and he has to drive a carriage today, so will he stay up all night?”

“But did your mother say that? My dad always tried to bear the burden alone, so I always had to watch him.”

“Emilia too. What did you teach your daughter?”

“That is not wrong. It was only after getting married that things got a little better, in the past it was as I said.”

Ludwig, who had been beaten up in the morning between mother and daughter out of nowhere, sneaked closer to the campfire with a smile on his face.

I knew that in a situation like this, quietly listening to nagging would be an amicable solution rather than arguing.

If anyone asks me how I came to realize it, I will be able to tell you that it is the secret to a long married life.

“I prepared less to go to the village and eat after lightly filling my stomach. Are you both okay?”

“of course.”

“I like it too.”

Anyway, this is the food I ate last night as a side dish.

It would be more appropriate to eat a proper meal in the village than to eat only one piece of meat like this.

As if the other two were convinced by her foresight, they nodded and started eating.

“Shall we play in the water for a while after we finish our meal? anise.”

“like! Actually, it was a bit disappointing yesterday because I was only fishing.”

“So I went to the river as soon as I woke up. Anis is also true.”

Somehow, even though she woke up quite early, she was embarrassed because she couldn’t see her daughter’s face.

Emilia sighed, saying, “Next time, at least say something and go.” Anis shook the meat and nodded brightly.

It was a small scene of the morning that the family greeted on the way to Astepor.
