Chapter 50: I'll Scour the Entire World to Find You

"That's not fair!" Erina firmly rejected this behavior. Her eyes fixed on Renz, as if she was contemplating how to "punish" him.

Sigh. As expected, it would infuriate the great tsundere! But Renz truly didn't do it on purpose; he was just testing an idea.

"Listen to me! Really, I absolutely didn't mean to take advantage of you. I just discovered a very important piece of information. When I hugged you, I noticed your grandfather outside the door, and he seemed very pleased with our life situation."

"So, I wanted to increase the intensity of the stimulation and hugged you more. And sure enough, the old man left here with a satisfied smile," Renz explained his thoughts. "Forget it, I was too rash and didn't consider your feelings. You can punish me however you want."

Renz thought about it and decided not to make any further excuses. At necessary times, it was normal to concede to his wife, even letting her hit him.

Erina's face darkened. From Renz's perspective, she looked utterly "terrifying."

"You, you actually dared to actively hug me so hard." Erina's tone sounded ominous, and her face leaned closer and closer. She even reached out and hooked Renz's chin.

Renz was ready to raise his hand to protect his face, but what happened next left him stunned once more. Erina leaned forward.

"Smooch~"

She pecked him lightly. Then, Erina folded her arms, speaking in her usual proud, victorious tone. "Now, we're even."

What kind of thought process is this?

"Even about what?" Renz asked, a little confused.

"You actively hugged me, so you definitely gained from it. If I actively kiss you, then I gain from it," Erina explained.

Is there something wrong with me, or is there something wrong with this world? What kind of "even" is this?! Are you from some matriarchal world? So strictly adhering to gender equality? Is this the legendary 'big woman' mindset? Or... has Erina's purity reached this level?

She completely misunderstood the concept! Renz felt it was necessary to clarify, "Erina, let me tell you, whether I kiss you or you kiss me, I always gain. I never lose out, understand?"

"Why?" Erina frowned, not understanding Renz's point. Renz was speechless. He wasn't entirely sure why he gained either.

"In short, a girl's kiss should only be for someone she likes. Even though I'm your husband, I probably don't count as someone you like, right?"

"If you kiss someone you don't like, it's a huge loss for a girl," Renz, as a straight-laced man, could only force himself to explain.

"Then you mean, you like me?" Erina asked, looking puzzled.

"Can you stop talking nonsense? You're my future wife, you've even given birth to my children. If I don't like you, am I supposed to like someone else?" Renz rolled his eyes.

"So, do you understand? Whether I kiss you or you kiss me, I'll be very happy," Renz continued. "And my current goal is to take good care of you, take good care of the children, take good care of our family, and then become someone you like."

Take good care of me? Take good care of the children? Take good care of the family, and then... become someone I like.

"Why can't you become someone I like first?" Erina's eyes clearly cooled. If Renz couldn't give a good answer, she would be troubled and unhappy.

"Because that's the most difficult thing of all, and given the current situation, I don't have time to take care of you after accomplishing that."

"After all, there's a third child coming, so taking care of you definitely takes precedence over trying to make you like me," Renz replied, using his own logic.

"Can't you take care of me and become someone I like at the same time?" Erina countered.

"If I could, I'd certainly be willing to become someone you could like while taking care of you," Renz shrugged. "However, the difficulty is clearly high, as Erina doesn't seem like the kind of girl who easily accepts others."

"It's not... not as hard as you imagine," Erina said with a touch of tsundere flair. When complimented highly, Erina couldn't help but feel a little happy.

"Speaking of which, if one day we could go back ten years, Renz, would you come looking for me?" Erina asked, tilting her head.

"If I could go back ten years, I would scour the entire world to find you," Renz said without a hint of hesitation. "Even if the process is incredibly difficult."

Renz was very serious when he said this. His future wife had already given him the answers, so of course, he had to go look for her. If the exam answers were already provided, could he still get it wrong?

"Hm, if you can't find me, then I'll come find you," Erina said with a slight smile. "With the Nakiri family's power, going back ten years and finding you would be quite simple."

"It would be very interesting if we met ten years ago."

"But it seems we can't go back, can we?" Erina said, her tone growing a little troubled.

"We will go back," Renz murmured. Although he and Erina met in the future, Renz didn't want to miss the past ten years. And lately, Renz had been living and eating with Erina every day.

As the closest "stranger" to Erina, now having "graduated" to being half a "familiar," Renz could clearly sense Erina's constantly changing, hidden emotions.

Loneliness. True loneliness. The loneliness of being abandoned by this timeline. Yes. In this timeline, she had her family, her friends, her children, but these were all ten years in the future. Sometimes she wanted to speak, but always hesitated. The only person Erina could truly confide in was Renz. And only Renz, who was in the same predicament as her, could hear Erina's deepest thoughts.

The future world belonged to those of the future. The happiness of this world should also be inherited by their future selves. He still had to clean up their mess. The third child...

Thinking of this, Renz continued, "Erina, I can't leave you conveniently during this time. At night, you can sleep on the bed with Rina and Haruki, and I'll sleep on the floor. If anything happens, wake me up immediately."

"I'll try to stay with you 24 hours a day," Renz instructed. "Don't be shy, don't feel troublesome. I'm a heavy sleeper, so just slap my face."

"Thank you for the trouble," Erina didn't refuse. In her mind, giving birth was both frightening and troublesome. If no one were with her, she was afraid she couldn't bear the pressure and would give up.

"I'm the one troubling you," Renz said, bowing slightly apologetically. "Three children are enough. If we ever have another child in the future, please, by all means, beat me to death."
