I Don’t Want To Be the Main Character

141. Wedding of the Century (6)

1.

“Why are you acting so spoiled all of a sudden? You don’t respond.”

“Actually, it’s true that I made all the plans and that I was the one who suffered the most.”

“That’s true, but….”

“Okay then. Do you need anything else?”

Elena stared intently. Her eyes seemed to say, “This much is enough. What more do you want?” She even made the wedding plans, and she contributed the most to the preparations. And I’m the groom, but I have nothing to say even if you call me a mere slur on a finished meal.

Rather, if he could just give Elena a kiss in exchange for leaving all those tasks to her, it would be a good deal.

Now, I wasn’t embarrassed by this kind of light skinship, and as long as I wasn’t a eunuch who couldn’t eat even if I gave it to him, I didn’t really have anything to complain about.

But the reason my expression was somber was simple.

“No matter what, doesn’t the image change too quickly? Last time, you were crying and making a fuss like that.”

“When did I cry, scream, and make a fuss!”

“You didn’t cry?”

“You didn’t even make a fuss?”

I tilted my head at Elena’s jumping up and down as if to tell me not to frame her.

Was it just tears in her eyes? When I hear her story like this, it seems like she didn’t really cry or anything… … Anyway, apart from that, seeing her image change so quickly from the dignified appearance of a royal family member just a moment ago to her acting like she was whining when they were alone was quite a subtle feeling.

It’s as if her image changed in an instant, from the Elena Esgeland I know to a girlfriend who acts cute towards her boyfriend.

But in reality, I might be feeling a sense of alienation especially because Elena is much older than me.

but.

“…….”

I couldn’t help but raise both hands at the sight of her just sticking out her lips and closing her eyes as if it didn’t matter.

In this world, there is a saying that all women are still children no matter how old they get, but I still hold onto the values ​​of the world that say that all men are still children no matter how old they get. What would happen if that happened?

So it’s like a child meeting a child.

As I was thinking this to myself, I just chuckled. Then, with my eyes closed, I lightly kissed Elena’s lips, who was still waiting for a kiss.

There was nothing new. It was a light kiss where our lips met. Elena’s lips were soft and supple, and as I got closer, I could smell a sweet, subtle scent that was not artificial, as if she had her own perfume or bath salts.

It wasn’t a passionate, hot kiss like you’d see between lovers, just a light kiss where their lips simply bumped together and then parted.

But as if that was enough, Elena’s eyes widened as soon as she opened her lips.

“Honestly, I was thinking that just a moment ago.”

“What were you thinking?”

“Well, do you want to give it a try?”

A playful smile suddenly appeared on his lips.

But I already felt like I knew the answer. In fact, even couples are a couple, and there is a saying that couples are one body. Without even thinking about it, I could easily figure out Elena’s thoughts.

“That’s obvious.”

“huh?”

“I’ve worked so hard to the point of death, so what’s the point of it? You’ll probably say something like that.”

“Huh…?”

Elena’s expression changed strangely. It was as if she had not expected me to get it right the first time, as if she had been hit on the nail on the head and was trying to deny it.

“I didn’t know you could get it right the first time.”

“I told you it was obvious. Elena’s thoughts are the same, you know.”

“……Is that so?”

Elena tilted her head at my confident answer.

The look in his eyes seemed to be wondering how he got the right answer right away. But I couldn’t tell him the truth right in front of him, saying, “If you only get involved with me, your thoughts will become childish,” so I had no choice but to tell a white lie.

“They say that married couples start to resemble each other.”

“Couple… I see. Now that I think about it, marriage is really just around the corner.”

Elena muttered softly with a deeply moved face.

It was unexpected that he suddenly became so sentimental, but it was within the realm of understandability.

Even if it was a regression for me, it would be nothing more than a ridiculous statement that I have no memory of.

“…Ludrick? Why are you suddenly looking at me like that?”

“…….”

It wasn’t just Elena. The other four people who weren’t there were the same.

It’s not even dawn yet, so I’m not particularly emotional. It just occurred to me out of the blue.

The time before the return is just a past that has already passed and disappeared, buried in the past. The only people in this world who know about that time are coincidentally the five people who fought against each other, and even I don’t know much about what kind of memories we shared or what kind of time we spent before the return.

As for what I know, it’s probably only a few things I heard directly from Elena.

After all that time wasted without anyone to share memories with, I was finally getting married. In a way, I guess you could say I achieved the biggest goal in my life.

I’m not sure if marrying me is worth it.

“No, it was nothing.”

“It’s bland.”

Elena sniffled, leaning her head on my shoulder and mumbling with her eyes closed.

“Can I stay like this for a moment?”

“As much as you want.”

“Then without any hesitation…….”

I couldn’t tell what song the melody I was humming softly was.

Just as a date doesn’t necessarily mean you have to spend time doing something grandiose, this time right now, when you’re just doing nothing and spending it leisurely and peacefully, is also a type of date.

I thought that my short date with Elena would end like this… … .

Suddenly, that thought occurred to me.

‘I can’t share my memories, but other people can.’

It was a lightning-quick epiphany that came to me literally in an instant.

Let’s think about it for a moment. There’s no reason why I have to share those memories, right? Until recently, we were rivals who fought and bickered, but now there are four more people who are tied together under the same family.

This story doesn’t just apply to Elena, but equally applies to the other four.

If there are five people who are bound together by the common denominator of having experienced regression, perhaps that fact alone could bring them a little closer to each other?

No, it might be impossible to become close, but couldn’t we at least make it so that we fight a little less than we do now?

The moment I thought about it, a shiver ran through my whole body.

“……Are you a genius?”

“……?”

Elena raised her head and looked at me with a puzzled look at the muttering that came out of her mouth without her knowing.

But that’s not a big deal.

A brilliant idea that came to me in a flash. I was already worried about what to do if we fought after getting married, but this was like a stroke of genius that completely solved my worries.

Elena nodded her head, secretly respecting me for coming up with this idea.

“Ludrick.”

“yes?”

“Are you thinking weird thoughts by yourself again?”

“Is that a strange thought?”

“Rather than a strange thought… Yeah, that’s right. Sometimes when I imagine something ridiculous, I make that kind of expression.”

“I’m sure this isn’t just some ridiculous fantasy.”

He answered confidently.

Since ancient times, there is no better way to unite the inside than to create an enemy outside. It may be a great method and a wise plan. However, since I am not in a position to use the wise plan now, I have no choice but to move on to the next important plan.

And the important task is to create a consensus within the community that everyone can agree on.

Just by talking about something like “I had something like that before the regression,” a kind of empathy is bound to be formed. Especially if it’s not a common experience, and if it’s a memory from before the regression that only five people in this world have experienced.

There may not be a particular opportunity right now, but after getting married, it won’t be difficult to create a place and an atmosphere where such conversations can take place.

Then I didn’t have to worry anymore. I just let them talk amongst themselves, and that was all I had to do. They wouldn’t seriously fight and fight just because they had a common ground.

‘That’s why I was thinking of implementing a weekday system, but… … .’

Maybe we really need to implement the weekly rotation system that we brought up as a joke.

Anyway, since it was the path I chose, it was right to endure with evil and brute force. No, judging by my values ​​from my previous life, I have five pretty wives that anyone would envy, so if I say I endured, they might say I’m overjoyed and curse me for that.

I chose to marry all five of them with the feeling that I would rather just throw it away than just hesitate, so it’s my responsibility to take the risk.

“……Anyway, I don’t really feel like thinking complicated thoughts right now. Just preparing for the wedding took too much mental energy. I’m tired now.”

“Then just wait like that.”

“Yeah. By the way, Ludrick. How many children will we have?”

“…….”

Elena started muttering with a puzzled look on her face, but soon started talking with an expectant look in her eyes.

I immediately shut my mouth.

kid.

Ah… … Well, okay. Now that I’m married, I should have kids. Of course, that’s only natural, but… … .

“I want to have a cute son like you. But I have to carry on the family line, so I guess I should have a daughter too?”

“I guess so…? Maybe.”

“Really? Then let’s have four children, a son and a daughter.”

“…….”

I had a gut feeling when I saw him say the number four so casually.

Am I going to dry up and die like this…?
