…
Sitting on the edge of the bed, the girl looked at Noah and asked "Are you sure he's okay, Uncle?"
He glanced sideways at Noah, and replied, "Of course! … At least I know he's breathing normally, and that his QI flow is totally stable. So taking that into account, I think he's perfectly fine."
She looked at her uncle, and said "But he's been out for a few days now." And after turning back towards Noah, she continued "...Did something happen to him after he saved me?"
"Well... that I can't say anymore..."
The girl lay down beside Noah, and as she stroked his hair and smiled, she said, "And so uncle, before, I had promised to marry whoever would get rid of that curse. But what if he never wakes up?"
He placed his hand on her chin, and said "Well, that would really be…" but as he spoke he felt a sudden rise in IQ, from inside Noah's body. And after feeling that, he was speechless as he looked at Noah.
"What was that?…" he thought.
The girl, on the other hand, was completely confused to see her uncle practically paralyzed, as she looked at that boy beside her. And as she continued to ruffle Noah's hair, she asked, "So uncle, what will happen if he doesn't wake up?"
"Well, it looks like that won't be a problem anymore."
"Huh? What do you mean by that?" she turned around after saying that, and looking at Noah, and seeing that he didn't seem to like what she was doing at all, as he looked her straight in the eye with that strangely penetrating look.
The girl was lost in Noah's gaze for a moment, but when he asked "How long do you plan on continuing this?" with his calm voice and expressionless face. She quickly stopped fidgeting with her hair, and by reflex she immediately climbed off the bed.
Noah placed her hands on the bed, and used them for support so she could get up. Then, after he had sat up in bed, he looked at the two of them on the side of the bed and asked, "Hey, where's that old man?"
Hearing the way Noah spoke, when addressing him, the man angrily said "Oh you…" but interrupting his uncle, and smiling the girl said "He's not around right now."
"Huh?" Noah got up, and as he walked around the bed he said, "Well, whatever. Because I've already fulfilled my part of the deal anyway, so I'll just take what's mine and leave."
So, after saying that, Noah, who was already in possession of the space bag, walked calmly towards the bedroom door, not even looking at the people present in the room.
And after he left, the girl looked at her uncle and asked "Is that it? Did he just leave like that?"
"Well, technically they don't have anything else to do here. Even because he doesn't know about the wedding…"
"…"
The girl turned and said "I'll be right back." his confused uncle asked "What? What are you talking about? Where are you going?"
"I'm going to go talk to my fiance." she said, as she walked through the door. The girl stopped for a moment, turned around and said, "And you don't need to follow me. Even because you said there aren't any beasts around, right?"
Being completely confused, the only thing you could think of was 'Groom? What groom? Wasn't it you who didn't want to get married moments before?…'
