[There’s no need to worry. Your husband is totally smitten with you.]
[Totally smitten?]
[It means he’s in love with you. I’ll never forget the look on his face when you nearly died.]
Allec’s second husband was also a nice guy, and he offered his house to the Men’s Club. Or rather, he found a house in the East Section to offer it to them.
The family home has a kitchen, three to five bedrooms, and one room that’s neither. To a Japanese person, it would be considered a living room, but according to Allec, it’s called a “living room.”.
There are seven chairs in Allec’s living room, as well as a sofa.
Granny Haru’s house, the Reincarnators’ Association’s hangout spot, also has a living room, but there are only lots of single chairs and no sofas. I’ve never seen one for sale at the market, so I wonder if sofas are something special here.
Allec’s first husband is a lumberjack, but his second husband is a blacksmith. They’re both very handy, and apparently the two worked together to make the sofa.
It’s kind of… amazing. Allec meets up with his first husband quite often. Apparently the two husbands were friends originally, and he would come over to hang out.
[It’s good to be loved.]
[Am I, though…… Saine has never said that to me, you know?]
Unlike the fluffy sofa at the Daryss’s house, Allec’s sofa is a little firmer, which is a good thing. In terms of comfort, this sofa is by far the better one.
[I’ve also never heard the words “I love you”.]
[I also haven’t…… Well, there hasn’t been a situation where it can be said either..]
[Kent and Duke, you haven’t either, right?]
[Of course not. That’s creepy.]
They both shivered. Are they that disgusted? I don’t want other men to say that to me but it will make me happy if Saine tells me that.
[I don’t really understand the romantic feelings of the people here.]
[Maybe it’s better to ask that in the Reincarnators Association?]
I shook my head at Kent’s words.
[I already asked but it was no good. The grannies said that they also weren’t told “I love you” or “I like you”. Saine is also the same, instead, they say “My Reincarnator”.]
[“My Reincarnator”?]
[That’s right. Even when they asked “Do you love me?”, they’ll say “You’re my Reincarnator” and that’s it. It’s also the case with Saine. He keeps telling me “my Reincarnator” over and over again. Especially that day.]
[It kind of sounds like pointing and calling.]1
[Pointing and calling?]
[Yes. Don’t you remember? There were labels on utility poles and stuff. Windows OK, gas OK, electricity OK, pointing check, alright, let’s go out.]
Ahh, I remember.
[Yes, yes. We used to play around with that. Windows, gas, electricity, clothes, shoes, face, money, you. It went on and on.]
On the way home from school, we would laugh out loud and mess around.
[That’s what it looks like. He’s checking and confirming that you are HIS Reincarnator.]
[Does he need to confirm or he’ll forget……]
[Won’t he eventually write his name on you?]
Duke laughs. It really seems like that’s going to happen, so I cover my forehead. No, it’s not decided that my name will be written here.
[Doesn’t everyone get pointed and confirmed? The grannies in the Reincarnators Association get it pretty frequently. Is it love? “My Reincarnator”. Is it their expression of love? The words “My Reincarnator”.]
Thinking about it aloud, I realized that our conversations were not in sync. The same goes for Saine and me.
[I’ve never been confirmed or anything like that.]
[Me, neither. And he hasn’t gotten senile yet either.]
Saine is young, too. In fact, Saine is younger than Kent and Duke’s husbands.
[Me too… Ah, but recently my husband has been muttering things. He’s doing it so quietly that I have to be careful to hear him. Come to think of it, he’s saying it at night too. He thinks I’m asleep and calls me his Reincarnator. When he does that in complete darkness, I get startled. Then he thinks he woke me up, so he panics and pretends to be asleep.]
If I were to compare it to Haruka’s husband, Saine would be younger. But Haruka’s husband isn’t old enough to forget things either.
[As for me…… My previous husband didn’t say it but my current man does. All of a sudden, without any context, he proclaimed, “You’re my Reincarnator”. In this regard, I can only respond with, “Yes, I am.”]
I’ve met Allec’s husband many times, but I’ve never heard his voice. He seems to be a very quiet man, but even he has something to say. His face and physique are not bad, but he seems to move around slowly and silently.
[I wonder if love and romance are emotions that exist here. It’s not just that they don’t have the words to say I love you, but maybe they don’t even have that particular emotion, do they?]
[I’m not sure about their emotions but I’ve never heard of the word “I love you” aside from the mouth of a ras.]
[Isn’t ras…… a bird?]
[Yes, yes, it’s a bird. I mean the wild one, though. The ones in the ranch can’t speak, but there was a ras who was crying out “I love you” in the forest. It must have learned that from someone who shouted it.]
[That means the word does exist. I see…… Someone shouted that secretly in the forest. Maybe he was feeling that emotion but got embarrassed? Fufu……… Interesting…… Fufufu fufu.]
Allec looked away and laughed. It was a laugh that sent shivers down my spine.
[A…… Allec?]
[Leave him alone. He’s probably thinking about something stupid anyway. There’s no point in listening to him. It’ll rot your ears.]
Kent looked at me with a serious look, and I nodded. Allec is dangerous because sometimes he says things that make me want to squat on the floor and cover my ears.
Saine hugs and kisses me. He chose me, not the child that is most wanted in here. So that’s enough for me, but I start to want words too.
But I think it’s selfish of me to ask for more than this.
There might be romantic feelings, but expressing them in words just doesn’t happen, and I get that. The Japanese grannies couldn’t imagine hearing or saying such things.
But the European grannies, on the other hand, would ask and want to hear it. So they would repeatedly ask their husbands if they loved them. But their husbands would just scoff at them. Some grandmothers even had their hearts broken when their husbands only snorted in response.
I don’t think I could recover if Saine reacted that way to me.
[If you really want him to say it, there’s a way.]
As I stood up to go shopping for dinner, Allec said to me.
[Just attack his hole.]
[His hole?]
[Yes. The ass is fine too but, well, he is your husband after all. Just insert a thin rod into the tip of his penis. Use a file or something to round off the tip so it doesn’t hurt, and attack his hole with that. Any man will cry in no time.]2
Allec used gestures to show me how to do it.
[It’s dangerous to put it all in, so just put the tip in like this… Even if you put just a little in, he’ll start leaking and moaning. If you grip the base tightly, he won’t be able to come even if he wants to. The hole is blocked by the rod, so the pleasure is stronger than usual. There isn’t a man out there who wouldn’t cry after this. He’ll write his name on anything, whether it’s a IOU or a guarantor, asking to be released quickly.]
Haruka, standing behind me, gently covered my ears.
[Don’t listen to him. You mustn’t remember such dirty methods.]
I was half crying and just shook my head.
TN: 1 – “Yubisakikakunin” (指先確認) is a Japanese term that translates to “finger-pointing and calling.” It’s a safety practice commonly used in Japan, particularly in industries like transportation, manufacturing, and railways. Workers use a combination of verbal cues (calling out) and physical gestures (pointing) to confirm their actions or checklists, reducing the chances of human error. By pointing at a specific target and verbally confirming it, workers stay more focused and aware, enhancing overall safety and accuracy. This method is known for its effectiveness in reducing accidents and mistakes in critical tasks.
2 – this caught me off guard ngl. But as expected of Allec, I guess? Go, pervy power!
I completed up to 112 which will be each released every Monday.
