"What's wrong, Uncle Cain?" I asked in confusion.

"What's wrong with your head, you came with a sudden request and left with an abrupt curse!" Cain shouted in reply.

"But ... isn't that true. If you don't marry before twenty then you will be a virgin for life. That's what the other uncle and aunt in the village said."

"Those damn villagers, teaching a kid unnecessary things, what did they know about me?"

"Well, you are eighteen and haven't married ... so maybe that's why?"

Cain suddenly slapped Rai

"Shut up! kids shouldn't ask adults and I am not an uncle. eighteen isn't old enough to be called uncle. an

"Well, you are twice my age, so that's why you are an uncle to me."

Once again, Cain slapped Rai. "Shut up! Don't ask me!"

With despair in his voice, Cain began his tirade.

"In the first place, who wants to be a virgin? It's not me for sure. I also want to get married quickly and have a beautiful wife and good child where we spend the rest of our life living happily in our little cabin."

Looking at the hopeless adult tirade, Rain lifted his hand toward his mouth and started to chew his rabbit skewer. Better eat gets before it gets cold. thought Rai.

It took ten more minutes before Cain finally got out of breath and stopped talking. Rai skewer was already on the ground, thrown after it finished its task.

"Hah ... Haaah Haah"

"So did you let it all out" Rai asked.

Cain looked resentfully with his bloodshot eyes toward Rain, the little brat that started it all. He really wanted to struggle with this little shit silly, but he was too tired to be doing anything, so he just nodded his head.

"Mother used to say, love makes you blind. I think it was used to describe people like you."

"Huh?"

"I mean all the people in the village know that you love Lucy, the granddaughter of the witch doctor."

"H-How do they know?"

"Because they have eyes", tilting my head, I looked at Cain, giving him a look that said isn't that obvious.

Red from anger, Cain lifted his hand ready to punch Rai and end this painful conversation.

"The villagers also know that Lucy loves you back."

"........" Forgetting his anger and everything else, Cain suddenly found himself speechless.

Cain and Rai stared at each other for a while before Cain finally processed what Rai said.

"W-W-W-W-W-W-W-WHAT IS T-T-THAT TRUE, DID L-L-LUCY LIKE ME???"

"Not only blind, you are also deaf, didn't I say that clearly? Lucy loves you", Rai said with a mocking tone.

Hearing that not only Cain was not angry, he smiled instead because the only thing he could hear was that Lucy loved him.

Grining ear from ear, Cain feels he can forgive everything this little brat did. No, not little brat he was his savior

Cain patted Rai shoulder again and again. "Did you say you want to learn wanted to hunt. It's easy from tomorrow we can begin."

"Yeaah, thank you Uncle Cain"

"Didn't I say, stop calling me uncle, call me brother. because from now on you are my brother" Cain smile hasn't left him.

"Okay, Brother Cain, and thank you I will help you with your love."

"Really! That's great, thank you Brother". Cain hugged Rai full of emotion.

Rai smiled, full of satisfaction because he finally got what he wanted to say.

"No, thank you Brother"

....

Finished with his mission, Rai left Cain's home and returned to his humble home.

On his way home, Rai can't stop thinking about what he will do to obtain the greatest benefit from the lovestruck hunter and Cain will actually get his love.

After all, a virgin is famous for their cowardice, but that was fine. The more time he gets the better and after everything is done, let's just hope the lovestruck hunter finally gets his love.

I doubt that thought.

Because who is brave enough to court the witch's granddaughter

Maybe Cain isn't blind from his love, but from his survival instinct as a hunter?

Is that why even though Lucy gave him a clear signal, he ignored them?

Doesn't that mean that I actually pushing him toward his death?

Well, as long as Cain is happy, isn't that good enough?

Let's just stop thinking about this. Maybe Cain is just blind from love and his love will end in a happy ending.

Yeah, that sounds good, positive thinking is great.

I thought as I continued walking forward to my home.
