I Became the Guild Leader in Exile

125 – For a Better Tomorrow, We Take a Break Today

Marriage.

Combining one’s life with another’s. Some people call marriage a prison, while others call it hell. I don’t want to deny their thoughts.

But at least, isn’t it something we can say to newlyweds? However, there’s an interesting story here. That is, the night I proposed.

Now, Zieg is no different from a spouse, demanding to sleep together, and Isaac, who agreed without thinking, spent a passionate night with Zieg. At first, Isaac took the lead.

But later, Isaac became physically exhausted and collapsed, and in the end, Zieg caught up and finished him off. Just like a female praying mantis.

“I’m going to die.”

“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to, Master.”

“It’s okay.”

But how can a man die from pleasure? Moreover, Isaac felt an immense pleasure, so his mood improved. It’s not like he’s into being dominated, but.

Anyway, Isaac had made up his mind. He would spend the rest of his life with Zieg. Some people might call him a thief, but he didn’t care.

They both liked each other, and besides, they weren’t doing anything to a naive child, so it wasn’t like they were trash. This story got long. Let’s move on to the next part.

Surprisingly, nothing changed much from the next day onwards. As always, Isaac solved requests with Zieg, chatted with guild members, laughed, and drank.

“I knew it was going to be like this, but you got married?”

“And it happened in just one day?”

“That’s how it went.”

“Haha, Master, you’re quite bold!”

This is the first marriage in both his past! and present lives. Honestly, if he wasn’t scared, he’d be lying, but if they were together, they could do it. Isaac turned to look at her.

Now, Zieg, who had grown his hair long, was smiling and waving at Isaac. To others, it would seem like a scene from a romance comedy.

But to Isaac, it had a different meaning. Her sparkling eyes, which shone with a seductive light, desired only one thing – to spend a passionate night together again.

“What’s wrong, why are you so scared?”

Isaac thought it would be better to fight the goddess Gaia again, but he had no intention of backing down. Although he had lost last time, he wouldn’t lose this time!

……or so he thought.

In the past, he had been pushed to the brink of exhaustion, but as time passed, he gained a bit of leeway. However, Zik wasn’t easy to deal with either. In fact, Isaac was the first to yield.

“There’s a saying that goes, ‘lower your guard’?”

“Where did you learn that phrase?”

“I learned it from Hers.”

“Just wait a moment, I need to have a meeting with Hers.”

Aekit had also received a scolding from Hers, pretending to be a meeting. Nothing special happened otherwise. It was just an ordinary day, living with everyone.

It wasn’t special.

It was just an ordinary day.

But because of that,

the you beside me feels even more special.

We eat together like usual, but you’re always by my side. We laugh and chat with the guild members like usual, and you’re always there. Is this what it means to have something special in everyday life?

“Sometimes I get scared.”

The intense heat still lingered, and sometimes I reveal my honest feelings to Zik. Is all of this just a dream? If I wake up tomorrow and everything disappears?

Someone else might not worry about it, but Isaac couldn’t help but have such concerns. He knew that this was a novel and that he was aware of reincarnation and possession.

However, Zik, who heard his words, silently climbed on top of Isaac again. Taken aback by Zik’s sudden movement, Zik buried his face in Isaac’s chest.

“Then let’s confirm it once and for all, shall we?”

“What?”

“I don’t think I can convince Master.”

“Sorry.”

Perhaps those words had triggered Zik’s switch. Zik’s passion, which had been satisfied, began to burn fiercely once more. Isaac, who sensed something was off, quickly apologized to Zik.

But it was too late.

That night was unusually passionate.

It was a night that was even more intense than usual, a memory that lingered.

I was half-conscious in the middle, so my memories were hazy.

Thanks to Zik’s apology the next day, I vaguely remembered what had happened.

* * *

Every night, we devoured each other like beasts.

It was only natural that Zik would receive good news. But saying it so nonchalantly while eating breakfast wasn’t right. Isaac’s tongue was tied.

While eating, suddenly…

“I’m pregnant with Master’s child.”

……he said.

Thanks to that, the guild was in an uproar. The white mages even conducted a thorough examination, and the result was that Isaac was indeed pregnant. Isaac felt like he was seeing stars in the daytime.

My child is born? No, I had been prepared since we decided to get married. But I didn’t expect it to happen so soon. Is this a blessing? No, it’s definitely a blessing.

Perhaps this was the result of Zik’s excessive possessiveness. Zik had a tendency to become obsessed with what was precious to him. And that target was, of course, Master Isaac.

Thanks to that, an urgent request was sent to the Iron Shield. It was to prepare for Isaac and Zik’s wedding ceremony. Originally, they were going to do it slowly, when they had the time.

But now that there was a child involved, there was no excuse to refuse. Although the guild was busy, the guild members were overjoyed when they heard the news.

“No matter how busy we are, isn’t it too much to skip the important wedding ceremony?!”

“That’s right! This is a disappointment, Master!”

Nods nodded!

“We should secure the wedding venue first.”

The atmosphere was too terrifying, so Isaac eventually fled with Zieg. Of course, they called it a “request,” but in reality, it was closer to a vacation.

Do you remember Hans and Sophia inviting us to their village during the festival? We used that as an excuse, saying we were going to help with their work, and ended up leaving for the village.

Although we said we would help, Hans and Sophia were taken aback by how quickly we arrived. Well, they did need help, after all. Thanks to that, Isaac ended up working with Hans.

“I’ll help too!”

“You should rest.”

“What, aren’t you a pregnant woman? We prioritize stability above all.”

“I have no choice but to agree.”

Isaac rested, and Master worked, which seemed to make Zieg anxious. But Isaac reassured Zieg, saying, “We’re not alone, and there’s no need to work so hard.”

The rural village had more work to do than expected. There was plowing, drawing water, digging wells, and many other tasks. Although there was a lot of work, it was more enjoyable than expected.

Isaac thought that after retiring, living like this wouldn’t be so bad. Finally, the sun set, and Isaac had some time to rest.

As they gazed up at the starry night sky, Isaac and Zieg sat together. In front of the two couples was a crackling bonfire, and right next to it were Hans and Sophia.

“Here, have some warm milk.”

“Thank you, senior.”

“Have I become a senior in many ways?”

“That’s right. I didn’t expect it to turn out like this.”

At first, he was a benefactor and a guild senior, but he didn’t expect to become a senior in the end. Zieg took a sip of the warm milk in his hand. It was sweet and savory.

“Isn’t it nice to have times like this sometimes?”

“But is it okay to have times like this?”

“What are you talking about?”

“We still have a lot of work left to do.”

There were still issues with the Titan and the Goddess of the End, and the remnants of the Demon King’s army were still active. And after the Demon King was defeated, there would be even more work to do.

Thinking about all these problems made his head ache. And on top of that, there was the issue of marriage. It seemed like they had come on vacation at a good time.

“When I think about it, it’s true. Everyone has more work than they can handle.”

“That’s right. Even in our village, we have work to do every day. There’s no end to it.”

“Yeah, we have a lot of work to do right now.”

“But we can’t do it all at once.”

Sophia also took a sip of the warm milk and began to talk about how they had worked hard to get to where they were. Although it was difficult, they had all made it this far together.

“So, let’s just rest for a little while now.”

“But…….”

“We’ve done a lot of work so far, so it’s okay to rest a bit.”

“That’s true.”

Isaac nodded and took a sip of the warm milk. As he gazed up at the countless stars in the night sky, the milk he drank was incredibly savory.

There would definitely be a lot of work to do in the future.

But for now, let’s just rest.

For the sake of tomorrow, which will surely come again.

We definitely have the right to do so.
