ISEKAI? More like I See Crap!-Chapter 133: Heart of the Fool ( )

"Hazuki~"

Ellyna spoke, her voice rich, soft, and undeniably mature—the voice of a woman, not a child.

Hazuki’s body reacted before his mind could catch up.

He stood up sharply, his wide, stunned eyes locking onto hers—those glowing, golden Absolute Eyes looking straight into him.

For a heartbeat—

For a breath—

The entire world fell away.

It was just him and her.

Just her radiant form in that bridal gown, standing in a halo of shimmering light.

Overwhelmed by a flood of emotions, Hazuki stumbled over his words.

"You...," he croaked, his throat dry.

"My... future... wife..."

Ellyna smiled softly.

"Yes~" she whispered.

Hazuki’s heart skipped.

His brain stuttered.

"A-a— I— ii— iiii—"

He stammered, his mind spiraling into white noise.

Adult Ellyn is here.

Wait. Which one is real? Adult or kid!? Was she always this beautiful?

Is the kid form fake!? Is this a dream!? Am I dreaming!?

His soul nearly flew out of his body.

And then—

Poof!

In a blink, the glow vanished.

Standing there now, grinning mischievously—

Kid Ellyn.

"Tehe~!" she giggled, sticking out her tongue playfully.

Hazuki almost fell backward.

"OI!! BRING BACK THE ADULT ELLYN!!" he shouted, waving his arms frantically.

Ellyn tilted her head cutely.

"It’s tiring~!" she said innocently.

"Maintaining the mana for that transformation is hard, Uncle~!"

Meanwhile, Ridan floated lazily nearby, spinning once as he whispered through telepathy to Ellyn.

"Heh, this idiot really believes the kid Ellyn is the ’real’ one, and the adult version was just some transformation.Princess, if he knew you’re already near-adult... I’m sure he’d be crawling after you right now~"

Ellyn giggled silently, her tail swishing smugly.

She leaned forward toward Hazuki, flashing him a teasing, dangerous smile.

"So, Uncle~," she said sweetly, her voice dripping with mischief.

"Still planning to look for other girls~?"

Hazuki choked on his breath, turning bright red.

Ellyn stepped closer, holding the bridal gown gently against herself, her golden eyes sparkling like mischievous stars.

She smiled sweetly—

But her voice carried a teasing, dangerous lilt.

"So~ Uncle~?"

She twirled slightly, making the gown shimmer.

"You don’t mind if this beautiful gown... is worn by me... during our wedding later?"

Hazuki’s brain froze.

A bead of sweat trickled down his temple.

His mouth opened.

Closed.

Opened again.

"A-A-A-... I... OKAY!!" Hazuki finally blurted out, his face exploding red.

He grinned wide—half-delirious, half-panicking.

His heart raced like a runaway horse.

He pointed dramatically at the ceiling, declaring with fiery spirit:

"ALRIGHT WORLD!!" he shouted.

"I’M GONNA GO SIGHTSEEING! GAIN EXP! EARN MORE MONEY!!"

Grimmon stared at him, blinking slowly.

A pen dropped somewhere behind the counter.

Ridan floated above, snickering through telepathy.

"He just turned his engagement into a JRPG main quest. Bwahahaha!!"

Ellyn clapped her hands happily, beaming.

Her tail swished behind her like a waving banner.

"Ganbatte, Uncle~! I’ll be waiting~!"

Hazuki, still high on adrenaline and pure chaos energy, pumped both fists into the air.

"I’LL LEVEL UP! I’LL GET RICH! I’LL BECOME... AWESOME!!"

He had no plan.

He had no clue.

He was just running on pure emotional combustion.

But it didn’t matter.

Because somehow—

Somewhere deep inside—

He wanted to stand proudly beside her, no matter how stupidly this journey began.

"Alright, old man!!" Hazuki shouted, still burning with adrenaline.

"Pack this wedding gown and send it to her home!!"

Grandpa Grimmon froze, his hands hovering awkwardly over the bridal box.

"H-Huh? Her... home?" he stuttered.

Panic swept across his face.

He knew exactly where Princess Ellyna’s real home was—the royal palace.

If he delivered this gown to the wrong place—or worse, if Hazuki got suspicious—it could blow her secret wide open!

But before Grimmon could say anything dumb, Ellyn skipped forward, still smiling sweetly, but her golden eyes narrowed dangerously for just a second.

She tugged lightly at Grimmon’s sleeve and whispered in a cheerful voice only he could hear,

"Don’t worry, Grandpa~ You’ll send it later to the usual place, right~?"

Her words were light.

Her warning was heavy.

Grimmon swallowed nervously.

At that moment, through the front window, he caught a glimpse—

A subtle nod from a cloaked figure standing nearby.

The Royal Guards Unit, disguised as ordinary townsfolk, were watching carefully.

One of them, pretending to sell apples, made a small hand signal—everything is under control.

Grimmon wiped the sweat off his forehead quickly.

"A-Ah! Don’t worry, young man!" Grimmon said, smiling wide.

"Grandpa Grimmon will deliver it safely to her home, just as planned!"

"Good!!" Hazuki grinned proudly, hands on his hips.

"I’m counting on you, old man! Treat that gown like gold!"

Ellyn just smiled sweetly, twirling beside Hazuki.

Meanwhile, Ridan floated lazily above, snickering through telepathy.

"Heh. If only this idiot knew he just hired an entire royal courier service by accident."

Hazuki threw his arms up dramatically, practically glowing with excitement.

"Alright, Ellyn!!!" he declared at the top of his lungs.

"MY TREAT!! FOR MY FUTURE WIFE!!"

He struck a heroic pose, fists on his hips, chest puffed out like a ridiculous statue.

"BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!"

Ellyn twirled happily beside him, clutching the gown box in her arms, her tail swishing like a flag.

"Anything!! Uncle said anything!!" she chimed in, her voice full of glee.

"Anything!! ANYTHING!!" Hazuki repeated like a fool, completely drunk on hype and adrenaline.

Grandpa Grimmon, still standing behind the counter, just wiped his sweaty forehead again, muttering under his breath:

"...This boy’s future wallet is already doomed."

Outside, the disguised Royal Guards subtly adjusted their positions, watching over the "royal couple" like nervous babysitters.

Meanwhile, Ridan floated overhead, snickering through telepathy.

"Oi, Princess, go wild. Clean him out. It’s not every day you get a fool to offer ’ANYTHING’ out loud!"

Ellyn giggled silently, already plotting lunch, dessert, souvenirs, AND gifts in rapid succession.

Hazuki pointed dramatically at the street ahead.

"TO THE MARKET! TO FOOD! TO EVERYTHING!"

Ellyn raised her little fist in excitement.

"YEAH!!"

And together—

The clueless adventurer and the secret princess—

Marched straight into town like a pair of chaotic gremlins ready to wreak adorable havoc.
