Inside the house, the room was filled with candlelight.

Darlene, Yara, and Lena were sitting around the dining table.

The dining table is already filled with sumptuous delicacies.

From bread to dried meat to milk and wine, there is everything you need to eat and drink.

When the three of them were still soldiers in the Delan Undead Corps, Darlene knew that Lina was the daughter of a large farmer and her family was very well off.

But in the past, Darlene had only heard that Lina's family background was very good, and had never seen with her own eyes what Lina's family background was like.

Until this moment, Darlene had experienced firsthand what a "rich person" was.

Not to mention anything else - just the table full of delicacies made Darlene dumbfounded.

For Darlene, her family can only eat such a sumptuous meal during major festivals.

And Lina can prepare such a sumptuous table of dishes casually...

But according to Lina - the reason why today's dinner is so sumptuous is purely because Darlene came to their place today. In order to receive Darlene well, they prepared such a sumptuous table of delicious food.

In normal times, they would not eat so luxuriously.

After all the food was put on the table and the three people began to feast, Darlene began to slowly talk about what she had experienced these days.

Darlene started by talking about how she was separated from the main army during the first war of annihilation of the Holy Hiran Empire and ended up living in the Holy Hiran Empire.

"The time when I was living in the Holy Hiran Empire was really painful..."

Darlene said in a half-joking tone.

"I have to travel every day, and it's okay to be tired every day."

"I still have to worry about whether I will run into the Holy Hiran Empire's army every day, or whether I will run into civilians who are trying to use my head to seek rewards."

"I was still hungry. In order to find food, I even broke into a rural village in the Holy Hiran Empire and stole food from one of the farmers."

Speaking of this, Darlene's eyes dimmed slightly for some unknown reason.

But Darlene quickly adjusted to this small change in her expression.

"After all the hard work, I was finally able to escape back to the Britannia Empire."

"After returning to the Britannia Empire and the Delan Undead Army, I learned that you had quit the army, Yara."

"As for where you went after you quit the army, the superiors don't know."

"The superiors don't know where you went after you quit the army, but I know."

Speaking of this, a look of pride appeared on Darlene's face.

"The two of us made an agreement - after we quit the army, we would go to Lina together, so I know that after you quit the army, you must have gone to Lina."

"I was... very tired of the army and the war."

"I have long wanted to quit the army."

"The defeat in the first war of annihilation of the Holy Hiran Empire made me physically and mentally exhausted."

"So - I also quit the army."

"After I quit the army, I first went back to my hometown and reported to my parents that I was safe."

"Then we just followed the address you gave us back then, Lina."

Darlene used the shortest possible sentences to summarize what she had experienced since the end of the first war of annihilation of the Holy Shiran Empire.

After hearing this, Yara and Lina both sighed.

"Darlene, I'm just like you..."

A wry smile appeared on Yara's face.

"The defeat in the first war of annihilation against the Holy Hiran Empire made me completely lose interest and enthusiasm in staying in the army."

"So after following the army back into the country, I submitted an application to quit the army."

"After I quit the army, I came directly to Lina."

"I——I have always believed in Darlene. If you are still alive,

I will definitely remember the promise between the two of us and will definitely come to Lina. "

"So I'll be here silently doing odd jobs for Lina while waiting for your arrival, Darlene."

"You guy..." Darlene said angrily, "What if I die and can never come back again?"

"Then I can only do chores for Lina here for the rest of my life." Yara shrugged and smiled, "Anyway, working for Lina is quite fun. I have already made up my mind - for the rest of my life. I’m going to stay here and work for Lina for the rest of my life.”

As soon as Yara finished speaking, Lina on the side suddenly said to Darlene with excitement on her face:

"By the way! Darlene! Now that you have quit the army, have you ever thought about what you will do next?"

"No..." Darlene shook her head in confusion, "I'm still confused now... I have devoted nearly half of my life to the army."

"The only skill I know is the skill of killing people."

"I still haven't thought about what I want to do in the next few years..."

As soon as Darlene finished speaking, Lina continued urgently:

"Then do you want to come work on my farm?"

"Your... farm...?"

"This is the manor where I am now."

Lena stretched out her finger and pointed downward.

"This land was originally a long-abandoned manor owned by my father. "

"I asked my father for this manor, and I plan to turn it into a farm! While making a living from farming, I also adopt some orphans!"

"Orphans?" Darlena raised her eyebrows.

"My plan is this!" Lina said, "I plan to turn this manor into a farm."

"While relying on the income from the farm to make a living, I will use the extra money to adopt children who have lost their families due to war, plague, or various reasons!"

"Lina!" Darlena said with surprise, "Your idea is great!"

"I think my idea is very good too!" Lina's face showed a proud look, "My idea has been constructed now! Now I just need people to put it into practice!"

"Yara is willing to work with me to put my idea into practice."

"Before you came to me, Darlena, Yara had been working for me for a while."

"We are almost done tilling the land of this manor, and we can start planting various crops soon!"

"If you are willing to help, Darlene, I will welcome you very much!"

"Convert this manor into a farm and orphanage..." Darlene's face showed a look of longing, "This idea is great... But... I am not very good at farm work. Since joining the army, I have not done farm work again..."

"It doesn't matter!" Lina waved her hand, "Actually, Yara and I are not good at farm work! We can learn little by little!"

"...Okay!" After a moment of silence, Darlene said loudly with a happy face, "I am willing to stay here! Build this farm with you!"
