My Contract Husband is Going Crazy Because of My Iron Wall - Chapter 60.1
Chapter 60.1
“Irobe!”
“Irobe!”
As soon as we crossed the barrier, the squishies came out to greet us.
“Why so late?”
“Yeah! Missed you!”
“Sorry. I was planning on coming right away, but I got kidnapped, so I’m a little late.”
The squishies, who had been bouncing with joy, suddenly stopped.
“What?”
“Which person?”
The squishies, who had been smiling brightly just a moment ago, turned serious and even started cursing. To think such foul language would come from those cute faces…!
“It was someone named Mario. He’s captured in our mansion right now.”
“So you killed yet?”
“Haven’t killed yet?”
“I can’t kill him until I find out who’s behind this.”
Reinhardt answered, and the squishies dripped mucus.
“Call us when you kill!”
“Yeah! We’ll block his ass so constipated and dies painfully!”
“Will do.”
In a way, this was the first alliance between demons and humans since the war. I stared at the scene in amazement, then suddenly wondered if this was alright.
“But is it okay to show him that we have Tartars?”
“Dead men tell no tales.”
“Aha.”
The squishies could divide and shrink, so I could hide them well and take them to the mansion.
“What took you so long?”
Larboris, in the form of a boy, jumped down from a tree and approached.
“You’ve grown a bit. You grow up so fast.”
“Really? I don’t really know.”
Larboris answered indifferently and stared at me. When I gave him a puzzled look, he asked sullenly,
“Aren’t you going to pet me? What are you doing?”
‘Is this what it feels like when a cat talks?’
I couldn’t help but laugh at his endearing boldness.
“Your purring was the MVP of this whole incident.”
“Oh? Sounds like things worked out.”
Larboris purred against my hand as he replied.
As I was busy stroking his head and explaining what had happened with Roxanne, I felt a tickle on top of my head. I turned my head to see Reinhardt playing with my hair.
‘Is he bored?’
I handed him a ribbon.
“Do you want to braid my hair?”
“Me? I’ve never done this before, so I might mess it up…”
“It’s okay. No one’s watching.”
Reinhardt, who had been hesitant, carefully divided my hair into two sections. He started to braid, then paused, holding my finger with the ring.
“Would you mind taking off your ring?”
“Here.”
When I obediently took off the ring and handed it to him, Reinhardt smiled slightly. It seemed he liked my original hair color.
Purr—Purr—
A pleasant vibration resonated from Larboris. The squishies were asleep in my arms, and behind me, Reinhardt sighed, having failed at braiding my hair after a clumsy attempt.
It was a peaceful and happy dawn.

I woke up after a short nap to find the sun dimly rising. It was time to go back.
“Guys, we’re leaving now.”
“Will you come again?”
“Come again?”
Originally, I had planned to return to the South alone, leaving Reinhardt behind, so this was supposed to be our last meeting. But since he wouldn’t accept a divorce or even a separation, should I stay in the North for the time being?
As I was thinking, Reinhardt answered for me.
“Tomorrow.”
Huh? I never told him I’d be back tomorrow.
“And the day after tomorrow, and the day after that.”
Had he grown fond of these creatures without me knowing?
“What if we get caught coming here so often?”
“It’s alright. The ones guarding the command post guard and manage the barrier’s device, not the barrier itself, so they never leave the tower.”
“That’s a relief, but…”
I liked seeing the squishies and Larboris often, but having to kiss Reinhardt every time was a bit… Was he okay with it?
“So you’re coming every day?”
“Coming every day?”
“Until we return to the South.”
Since I hadn’t heard him say he was going to the South, I asked.
“Return to the South?”
“If we’re going to make an issue of the Empress trying to open the barrier, it’s better to go there directly.”
Honestly, even if we made an issue of it, it wouldn’t do much good, but it was a bit unfair to just let it go. I’d feel a little better if I could at least throw a tantrum in the Empress’s palace.
“I’ll come get you before we go to the South after I kill the kidnapper.”
“Yay! Scary outside the barrier, but Reinhat will protect us!”
“Yeah!”
“….”
Reinhardt suddenly stared at the squishies with an expression of doubt. As the ruler of the North, he was supposed to exterminate the Tartars, but somehow he ended up protecting them. It was understandable that he felt conflicted.
“They’re getting along well.”
Larboris sneered at Reinhardt and the squishies.
