Raising my Fiancè with Money

Chapter 89: Hit The Wall To Make Her Fall In Love

•❅──────✧❅✦❅✧──────❅•

The news that a hot spring burst caused a commotion in the capital.

In fact, the hot spring itself was not very surprising.
It was not difficult to access even if one went to the north or the south.
However, it was the first time that a hot spring was found in the center of the capital.

The people of the capital welcomed the news.
Now they didn’t have to go far to use a hot spring.
Those who smelled the money were in flames to purchase the site where the hot spring burst.
However, when they heard that the owner of the site was Bloden, they quietly left with their tails between their legs.

While everyone was having a festival, Lilia was in tears.
She had already finished planning the store, but she couldn’t believe it’s now a hot spring.
The thought of searching for a site again gave her a headache.
Violet shook her head as she looked at Lilia, who was in despair.

“I told you to run a store, but I didn’t expect you to make a hot spring…….”

“I was going to open a dessert shop.”

Lilia looked at her drawing, which had become useless, and muttered that with her gloomy face.

“It’s a dessert shop.
Why don’t you open it somewhere else?”

“I don’t know if I can find a better location than that.”

“But wouldn’t it be a little different to eat dessert while taking a hot spring bath?”

“That’s true.”

Although it was grueling, in fact, she gave up on the dessert shop halfway.
There was no time to worry about it now.

“First of all, I think I’ll build an inn around the hot spring and make it like a vacation spot.”

The hot spring that burst this time was quite large, so she thought about building an annex along with the inn.
From hot springs, lodging, shopping, to restaurants…… It will be a large resort with everything.

“Then we’ll have to buy more land.”

Violet, who was listening seriously, nodded.
If it went according to Lilia’s opinion, the scale would be enormous. If you do well, you will get an unrivaled recreational facility.

Violet glanced at Lilia.
She still looked disappointed.
She had worked hard on the idea, but it fell at the last minute…….
Violet, who was thinking for a while, added her opinion.

“Then why don’t you open the store you thought of in the annex? Of course, the scale will be much smaller.”

At her suggestion, Lilia imagined for a moment.
It didn’t seem so bad.

“That’s good.”

Lilia was determined to adjust with the fortune that had now been forced on to her.

***

Summer is just around the corner.
As the scorching midday sun shone, people took refuge in the shade.
Karhan, who was sitting on the outdoor terrace of the tea house, was concentrating on reading a book, unaware that it was hot.

[How to be liked by the opposite sex.]

[What is a wolf-like man?]

Books with unusual titles were stacked on the table.
It was deliberately chosen for Lilia, who prefers wolves to foxes.

After receiving advice from Violet, Karhan was trying to be different.
In order to advance the relationship here, it was important to build Lilia’s favor.
Above all, he wanted to be a man worthy of Lilia’s ideal type, so he looked for all books that had wolves.

[How to make the other sex’s heart flutter – Let’s hit the wall and show your powerful side.]

Karhan paused and read the passage again.
There was even a picture kindly drawn at the bottom.
It was a picture that showed a secure opponent pointing at the wall with one arm.

……Can you make the other person’s heart flutter with this? Karhan, who was staring at the painting, murmured to himself.

“I think she’s going to be scared…….”

Is it really okay? What if Lilia gets scared? That’s what he thought first.

When he turned to the next page, there was an actual anecdote.
Everyone responded positively.
Karhan, who was agonizing, wrote “hitting the wall” in his notebook, underlined it, and drew three stars.
It seemed important, so it would be good to emphasize it.

After he drank all the kiwi juice that was left, Karhan closed his notebook.
Suddenly, he missed Lilia.
He hadn’t seen Lilia for days already.
He used to go to the main building on purpose and snoop around, but he kept hearing that she was out.
He was sad because he thought she was avoiding him.

As he was packing his books, he heard the conversation of people passing by.

“Did you hear the rumor that the hot spring exploded this time?”

“That’s right.
The owner is Bloden.”

Hearing the familiar name, Karhan raised his head.
Pedestrians passing by were startled, but then went on their way.
Karhan muttered to himself, reflecting on their conversation.

“Hot spring…”

Come to think of it, I think I heard a rumor that a hot spring burst on the site of the Bloden family. 

That may be why Lilia has been busy lately.

Only then did Karhan, who was a little relieved, get up from his seat after organizing his luggage.
It was a holiday after a long time, but he couldn’t think of a place to go.
Eventually, he headed to Bloden’s mansion.

Since there was no class today, Karhan arrived at the main building, not the annex.
When he got off the carriage, Frances, who had been walking from far away, noticed Karhan and ran.

“Lord! Isn’t today your day off?”

Frances’ eyes lit up, wondering if he had come to fight with him.
As Karhan silently shook his head, Frances looked around him and lowered his voice.

“To know how to make muscles…… How much would it cost…?”

It was like he had become an illegal tutoring site.
Looking at Frances, who was still obsessed with muscles, Karhan looked perplexed.

To be honest, Karhan wanted to teach him, but he couldn’t tell him when he himself didn’t know in the first place.
First of all, there was a big difference in physique.
As he pondered what to say, the front door opened and he heard a familiar voice,

“Karhan?”

If there was color in the voice, it would be yellow.
His heart began to beat fast as the sound of her voice warmed him like the surrounding sunlight.
Karhan turned his head slowly.
He saw Lilia standing by the front door.

“I’m going to….”

With the appearance of Lilia, Frances crept back and avoided her gaze.
Lilia approached Karhan, and she asked,

“When did you get here?”

“I just got here.”

“I hope Frances didn’t bother you.”

Karhan shook his head.

“He just asked me questions…….”

“How to build muscles?”

When he asked how she knew, Lilia smiled as if it were obvious.

“He has been talking about it for a while.”

“……You both seem to be very close.”

“We stick together almost every day.”

His heart ached for no reason at the answer that came right back.
Obviously, it was a feeling he didn’t know not long ago, but he knew now.
That this was jealousy.
Jealous of Frances…….
Feeling guilty, Karhan lowered his eyes.

Lilia and Karhan walked slowly beside the porch.
It wasn’t as hot walking along the wall of the building.

“How’s your class going?”

“……We’re nearing the end.”

It’s been quite a while since he stopped by Bloden’s mansion every day for lessons.
Karhan finished in months what others would have taken years.
Even the professors seemed to have run out of things to praise now, and they only kept their praises lingering on their tongues.

Before autumn came, Karhan was planning to take a test.
He did not even step on the threshold of the academy and had no academic background.
He was late for admission now, so he wanted to take the academy-administered exam.

It was famous for being difficult for students taking home classes to take tests when they wanted to get objective indicators.
So, if he had a passing certificate, no one would disregard him for his academic background.

“After the summer, I will only take classes once or twice a week.”

There was silence for a moment.
The reason the meeting continued until now was because Karhan had a reason to visit Bloden’s mansion.
However, when the class is over, there is no more excuse to stop by the Bloden mansion.
Although he is still pretending to be a fake lover, there is no reason to meet her regularly.

And after the summer, Karhan had to leave for the conflict zone.
Having made a deal with the Duke, he will be away for two months at the most.

Karhan wanted to stay in this moment forever.
But on the other hand, he wanted to move forward and show Lilia that he had become someone who is useful.

Lilia stopped for a moment.
Karhan looked down at Lilia, who had her back against the wall of the building, and blinked.
In a strangely familiar situation, he remembered the word he had carefully underlined earlier.

[Hitting the wall]

It seemed like this was a good opportunity.
However, he hesitated when he tried to copy what he saw in the book. Before that, how should I set the mood? Wouldn’t it look weird if he hit the wall suddenly? His head began to get complicated.

“Karhan?”

Lilia looked up at Karhan with puzzled eyes.

“Are you feeling hot? Shall we go in?”

Lilia, who was watching Karhan, who said nothing, tried to turn around.
In a hurry, Karhan stretched out his arms without realizing it.

Boom! A loud sound rang out everywhere.
Surprised, Lilia tensed her shoulders.
And Karhan, more surprised than Lilia, opened his eyes wide.

The two people, who got closer in an instant, looked into each other’s eyes.
When Karhan stopped breathing as it was, the cracks began to expand from the part his hand touched.
A piece of brick split through the gap fell on Lilia’s head.

“Ouch.”

Karhan’s complexion turned white.
He apologized deeply as if banging his head on the floor.

“I’m so sorry…….
Where did you get hurt….”

Karhan was restless and looked at Lilia.
Both of his hands did not reach Lilia and just wandered through the air.

“It doesn’t hurt that much.
It’s all right.”

Lilia stretched out her hand and looked at the cracked wall that looked like a spider’s web.
Lilia asked, uttering a brief exclamation.

“You didn’t like my wall that much?”

“It’s not that…….”

Karhan, who was at a loss, murmured with a drooping shoulder.

“………I’ll repair the wall.”

Hitting the wall seemed like a failure.
Karhan vowed never to hit the wall again.
