Chapter 41.3
At that moment, Bash was back at the inn, preparing for his journey.
Everything must have gone well this time. He did everything as the magazine said. He had a good feeling. If anything, he had even caught the eye of a woman other than the one he had in mind. He hadn’t done anything wrong.
The only thing that had come true was what was written on the last page of the magazine.
The last page of the magazine. There it was written:
‘If the woman was only after your money, or if she just wanted to play with you, you can’t get married. You’ve been deceived!’
If Silviana herself had told him that she was deceiving him, that she was playing with him, then he had no choice but to accept it. To be honest, he felt as if his strength had been drained from his body. But that didn’t mean that what the magazine had written was wrong. The proof was that Carrot had fallen in love with Bash in one night. Silviana had been a disappointment, but he had a feeling that the next woman would be a sure bet for marriage.
So for a few days Bash went to the bar where he met Carrot. However, with the death of the Sacred Tree and the cancellation of the wedding, the cheerful atmosphere of the town had completely faded, and there were hardly any men, let alone women, to be seen in the bar. The city was still in a frenzy during the day, and both men and women began to look at Bash suspiciously, as they had during the war. Finding the next woman would be a sure thing, but the magazine also said that “now is the time when everyone is excited”. In other words, since there was no festive atmosphere, it was no longer a good time. Bash concluded that it would be difficult to find a woman in this city, so he began to prepare for his trip.
“But where are we going?”
He didn’t have a new destination in mind.
