"Are you planning on infiltrating the village?"
"That's right. For that purpose...I'd like us to pretend to be a couple who lost everything during the war."
"couple!?"
Serena looked at me with a rather surprised face.
"Do you not like it?"
"No, I don't like it...I'm married..."
"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."
"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 was practically jumping.
She seemed to be in a good mood.
"Ah, before that."
I stopped Serena from doing that.
There was smoke rising nearby.
It's called a smoke signal.
In response, I likewise caused two puffs of smoke out of our own campfire.
"What's going on?"
