Suddenly, she remembered the earring Kei gave her in her past life.

Trisa’s earring.

An earring that brings luck if you have it.

‘Did I come back in time, and is all this luck because of that earring? But… I don’t have that earring now.’

Whenever she thought about why she had returned, she thought of that earring.

Unhappy past life, the only luck that came to Lishi.

Kei’s comfort and small gift.
With that, ‘Trisa’s Earring’ had done its part, Lishi thought.

When she first regressed, she simply thought it might be a mistake by the gods or something similar.

However, after realizing her ability to handle relics, she became convinced that Trisa’s Earring was the reason she had traveled back in time.

‘In my past life, I must have had the power to handle relics. I just didn’t know because I never had the chance to handle them. Then, at the moment of my death…’

Lishi earnestly wished.

That she didn’t want to die like this, and if given another chance, it would be great.

‘That desperate wish drew out my power, and Trisa’s Earring activated, turning back time… That would make sense for my current situation. But this stroke of luck…’

Currently, Lishi doesn’t have Trisa’s Earring.

Nevertheless, an abnormal amount of luck continued.

‘Is the influence of that earring still lingering? Or is it just luck?’

The dilemma didn’t last long.

It was because a familiar scent stimulated Lishi’s sense of smell.

Suddenly waking up from her daze, she saw Kei opening Erwel’s medicine bottle.

“…Finally got it.”

“There’s nothing I can’t do, Lishi.”

Kei smiled and pointed to the bed.

“Take off your clothes and lie down. I’ll apply it delicately to every corner.”

“I can do it myself.”

“Riding a horse is different from talking. From the neck, back, waist, and buttocks to the thighs and arms. It all hurts. I can’t do it alone.”

“Let me apply where I can reach, and I’ll ask for help only in places I can’t reach.”

“That’s not allowed, Lishi.”

“Why not?”

Kei approached.

“I might get jealous of Erwel. Erwel even assists you in your bath.”

“…Kei.”

“Don’t give me that look like you’re scolding a disobedient son.”

“You’re wrong. This is the look you give to an unruly puppy. Do you want a smack on your buttocks?”

“Heh, Jeresian. He taught me only bad things and left…”

Watching Kei, who shook her head, Lishi smiled faintly and headed for the bed.

As Kei said to lie down on the bed, he stood next to it and looked down, saying, “It’s a splendid sight, so I’ll enjoy it for a moment.”

“Apply the medicine quickly, Kei.”

“Yes, yes.”

Kei smiled as she applied the medicine to Lishi’s back.

The slippery medicine and his body temperature combined, creating a strange sensation.

Lishi buried her face in the pillow and swallowed the moans that escaped.

“Lishi, do you know something? Your back is really beautiful.”

“Is that so?”

“Oh, and the line from your shoulders to your arms falling down is really beautiful. It’s so unreasonably beautiful that there are times when I wonder if you’re not human.”

“Is that right?”

“But the waistline is also pretty. So if I had to choose one of the three, I don’t know what to choose.”

“…Is it really a problem to choose just one?”

“If someone were to ask me where your wife’s most beautiful part is, I might be in a situation where a war could break out if I don’t answer properly.”
“……Ah, I see. It’s very likely.”

“That’s right. It’s quite awkward, Lishi.”

Lishi giggled.

“I’m also in a difficult situation because you’re foolish, Kei.”

“Not because you can’t choose where I look the best, right?”

“I can definitely choose.”

“Oh? Where?”

Even without seeing his face, she could tell how brightly he was waiting for an answer.

Lishi answered with her face buried in the pillow.

“When I turned into a wolf, it’s the gray eyebrows.”

“…….”

Riding on horses, Kei asked Erwel, who was running alongside, “Erwel. Wasn’t I handsome?”

“…I’ll run from the back. Eugene, switch places.”

Erwel fled.

He asked Krizina, who took Erwel’s place, “Krizina, am I not handsome?”

“You’re handsome.”

Krizina answered with a yawn.

“Krizina? I’m a duke.”

“Yes, I apologize, Your Grace. Your Grace is so handsome that when I look at him, my eyes are blinded, and when my eyes are blinded, tears come, and when tears come, I yawn.”

“Don’t tears usually come when you yawn?”

“Eugene, switch with me.”

Krizina also fled.

“Eugene.”

“It’s not my type.”

Eugene, who had been listening to everything, cut in decisively.

“Stop gossiping, Captain.”

“Eugene, keep in mind that I’m the captain…”

“Sister-in-law. Please switch with me.”

When Eugene turned around and shouted, Lishi immediately responded.

“I don’t want to.”

Finally, when they arrived at Ketil Town, it was midday.

As soon as Kei’s group arrived, the captain of the guard and the village chief rushed over to welcome them.

Since they had come quietly, they hadn’t informed the villagers that a duke was visiting.

They moved to the guard post.

“That bastard killed a cow yesterday, Your Grace. At this rate, there won’t be any cows left in the village.”

The village chief cried out.

“Didn’t the soldiers see the scene?”

“There were two soldiers guarding the livestock pen, but they only noticed when they heard the cow scream. By the time the soldiers rushed over, he had torn off the cow’s leg and escaped.”

“Is there a group of them?”

“It doesn’t seem like it. According to witnesses, he always moves alone.”

“What’s the probability that the one attacking each time is a different person?”

“…There is a possibility, but… If they formed a group, we would have discovered it quickly.”

Finding a group of them is usually easier.

While Kei was chatting at the outpost, Lishi was strolling through the village with Erwel and Krizina.

Perhaps because it was a cherry village, there were street vendors selling cherries all over the village.

Lishi bought boxes of cherries and shared them with Erwel and Krizina. She also took a box of cherries and put some in her mouth.

The sweet and tangy aroma spread in her mouth.
“This is really delicious. It tastes different from cherries.”

“That’s right, Lady Iris. It feels sweeter and richer. The fragrance is also a bit different.”

While Lishi and Krizina put one wild cherry each into their mouths and savored the taste, Erwel, with a box in his hand, stuffed his mouth with the wild cherries, chewing them vigorously.

Then, as Erwel looked around, something caught his eye.
