S-RANK IN ANOTHER WORLD 131 Is My Father Acting Weird?

When we finished buying clothes for Mary, we decided to eat something at the stalls because we hadn't eaten together in the street for some time. We chose very nice clothes for her, most were dresses.

I don't know why but she always looked pretty with a dress, she also looked pretty with pants or something, but it seems that dresses made her look prettier, it may just be my taste but she seems to prefer wearing dresses too.

"What you want to eat?" I asked Mary who was walking beside me.

I wasn't holding your hand this time because I was carrying both bags of clothes so I needed to keep both hands busy. I know she is strong enough to carry a bag, but I don't like to let girls carry things when I can do that.

It's not for chivalry but I've always done it, I have no reason but I've gotten used to it since my old life.

"It could be meat." Mary was very fond of meat so it was obvious that she would like to eat meat. Whenever we go out, we end up buying meat or something.

We went to a meat stall that had the best smell, it seemed to be meat with a very good quality because many people were buying in this stall.

"You can let me take the meat." I set the garment bags on the floor for Mary to watch and then went to buy the meat. The line was not too long so I don't think I'll be slow to buy it.

I didn't spend much time in line and soon it was my turn. The meat skewers were very cheap so I didn't spend much money.

"Here it is." I handed Mary a skewer of meat and then held the two bags with one hand, I had no difficulty doing that, I don't know why I was using both hands to carry these bags before.

We walked to the town square because we were close and sat on one of the benches, I would not want to stay here long because they say that there are many crimes around here at night.

Even though there are a lot of guards there are still people to commit a crime in the middle of the capital, they are really stupid to do it because most who end up stealing inside the capital get caught.

I haven't seen my father in a long time, since the demon attack I haven't seen him, to tell the truth, it seems like he locked himself inside the castle or went somewhere, I don't know exactly what happened to him.

It's not that I care since he doesn't care much about our family, at first he seemed to care but after a while, he started completely ignoring our existence in the capital and didn't even talk to us.

Mom said he hasn't come back to the village either since I came to the capital, so it's been over 1 year since he went to the village. The only time Mom could see him was when she came to my school tournament.

'This is weird.' From the day I began to see his behavior in the capital and saw that he was moving further and further away I began to distrust him.

I know he is my father and I shouldn't do that, but I still can't stop distrusting him. Well, this is no time to think about it, now was a time for me to enjoy with Mary, I can't think of complex things right now.

When I looked at Mary she had already finished eating and was looking at my skewer that I did not eat because I was thinking about unnecessary things.

"Do you want?" I put the skewer toward Mary.

She nodded strongly and then took my skewer and started eating, she's really cute when she's eating, I hope to keep seeing her like this for the rest of my life.

I never want to be parted from her again for all this time like this trip, I know this could end up happening, but I'll be back to her as soon as possible.
