Side Story: Our Danna-sama
When I remembered today, my heart bounced in spite of my age.
Right now, my daughter and Danna-sama are sleeping beside me...
Danna-sama and Rain have grown considerably. I wanted to hug them both, but when I lay down and stretched out my arms, I could barely reach my daughter's shoulders with Danna-sama in between.
Earlier, my daughter, Rain, whispered words of determination to Danna-sama. I was quiet, but I, being also a woman, could understand her.
Rain certainly likes Danna-sama as a woman.
Perhaps today's incident has removed the shackles of family from my daughter's mind.
I, on the other hand, also......
Until today, I also looked at Danna-sama as a family member.
I felt as if he was my daughter's brother.
And in terms of his words, actions, and receptiveness, I used to call him Danna-sama a little jokingly.
But now...
It became a [Danna-sama] in the truest sense of the word...
I was puzzled by the feeling of liking a man for the first time.
There was a time when I was young that I longed for something called love like most people, but ever since I was tainted by a nobleman's son and other men when I was 15, I never had any feelings for men...
Now, I understand that this feeling that occurs when I stare at Danna-sama is love. For the first time in my life, I am conscious of the word [man].
I feel kind of happy when I think of that.
The human emotions that had withered up until now have returned to me, and the people who have brought them to me are my precious family, and Danna-sama, who is still a small boy and whom I like as a man...
Today, I don't think my daughter and I are the only ones who have realized our feelings towards Danna-sama.
Lida-san is probably aware of Danna-sama as well.
I first met her two years ago, when she met Danna-sama every year and taught my daughter magic as well.
I talked to her to thank her for the help she had given my daughter at the Adventurer's Guild in the Baron territory, and since we were close in age, we began to talk a lot. Since then, I have interacted with her every year.
I also enjoyed talking with her on the way from the Baron territory to here.
One of the things we would talk about was Danna-sama.
She usually acts like a slightly rough female adventurer, but when she speaks with Danna-sama, she speaks with a girlish smile that makes her seem younger than her age.
That's how I found out that she likes Danna-sama.
I often worked with her when we traveled.
If I was preparing a meal, she would offer to help me, and she would say, [I'm not good at cooking, so if you don't mind, would you mind teaching me?] and the two of us would have a great time cooking.
Because of that, I now think of her as a friend... like a best friend.
A long time ago, I remember being betrayed by someone I thought was my friend. And I am grateful to her for making me feel that way.
Such a best friend is in love with the same man.
Normally, it would be a problem, but I have confidence that Danna-sama will accept her thoughts, my feelings, and my daughter's wishes.
That's how much... an amazing person Danna-sama is.
Danna-sama, who was now sandwiched between me and my daughter, was having trouble sleeping, and I held him close, and I fell asleep, my heart dancing with joy at the moment.
Thanks for the update
