Plotting The Takeover Of A Takeover!? (2)

"Are you planning on infiltrating the village?" <Serena >

"That's right. For that purpose...I'd like us to pretend to be a couple who lost everything during the war." <Julius >

"couple!?" <Serena >

Serena looked at me with a rather surprised face.

"Do you not like it?" <Julius >

"No, I don't like it...I'm married..." <Serena >

"That's like being sold. It can't be called a proper marriage. And we're not really getting married. We're just pretending to be husband and wife." <Julius >

"That's true, but... I understand. It's nice to have this kind of happiness once in a while! Let's do it! Hehe." <Serena >

Serena was practically jumping.

She seemed to be in a good mood.

"Ah, before that." <Julius >

I stopped Serena from doing that.

There was smoke rising nearby.

It's called a smoke signal.

"What's going on?" <Serena >
