Chapter 33
......Let me see, I’d be happy if you’d call me Sylphy」
Hmmmmm, the hurdle’s suddenly so high.......
Calling a Oujo-sama who’s older and a beauty with a pet name.......
Though, she’ll become my wife from now on, I don’t want to call her “Oujo-sama”, she also definitely doesn’t want to be called that.
It’s extremely embarrassing but, I’ll try my best.
「......Sy, Sylphy......」
As I softly called her pet name with a trembling voice, Oujo-sama, no, Sylphy smiled sweetly.
「Fufu, not bad. Though it’s only the way of calling, I feel that our distance has closed considerably you know」
That’s certainly true, I feel that we’re much familiar than before.
「P, please call me Aisha without honorifics!」
Are you serious!? To drop the honorifics!? The hurdle’s even higher than Sylphy’s you know!
「......Can I...... not drop the honorifics?」
Let’s try asking.
「......It’s okay for Hime-sama but not for me?」
This is bad, Aisha-san’s crying. Isn’t this foul play!!!
「......Aisha......」
Just like during Sylphy’s, I called out in a soft voice.
As I did that, Aisha-san...... no...... Aisha and Sylphy both looked happy and smiled.
Sylphy who was looking at the situation suddenly burst into a loud laughter.
「Ahahahaha, Myne...... no, I wonder if it’s okay to call you Danna-sama? Danna-sama sounds like we’re dominating huh」
Danna-sama...... This is bad, this will be embarrassing.
I’ll be troubled if someone as beautiful as Sylphy calls me like that.
Also about the dominating part, that’s right isn’t it.
I only just came of age you know!? The both of them are older than me so I can’t possibly act strong!
「Until I’m used to it, it’ll be Myne-kun...... As expected it’s embarrassing」
Aisha who was embarrassed was too cute; I couldn’t take my eyes of her you know.
Before the talk about marriage, I regarded her as a beautiful onee-san, but now she’s my partner.......
When I am aware that she is my wife, the way I viewed her changed this much.
Sylphy too, at first when Knight-sama specially visited me, she seemed like a scary person but now, I can only see her as a gentle, beautiful person.
I wonder if this is praising a loved one. (TLN: 惚気 = praisng a loved one. It’s a noun, so it doesn’t translate well)
It’s hard to understand for me who has zero experience in romance, but I think that’s definitely how it is.
‘They’re both family’, thinking that my heart warmed up.
I was also greatly relieved and could relax.
The rock-bottom mood I had when Sylphy asked me about my life from now on seemed like a lie.
Towards the both of them, I’m grateful from the bottom of my heart.
◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇
「Now then, Danna-sama. As I have said, I will temporarily return to the capital. And I need some help......」
I wonder what Sylphy needs? from me. (TLN: The question mark was in the raws.)
If it’s not too great a request, I’ll listen to it by all means.
「Help?」
「Yeah, won’t you sell the Orc・King’s corpse to the royal family? If possible the Orc・Generals’ too」
Fumu, on the contrary this might be something I’ll be grateful for.
There will definitely be an uproar if I were to bring something like the Orc・King and Orc・Generals to the butcher and alchemist.
On the other hand, the corpses will rot if I were to leave them alone.
It’s not an amount I can eat.
Since that’s the case, the only choice I’d have in the end is to throw them away.
However, if the royal family buys them, they’d buy them at a precise price.
Since Sylphy just now said that she would report the matter about me defeating an Orc・King to Ou-sama, there “probably” won’t be an uproar if he were to see the corpse.
It’s just that, since I have a feeling that I can use the magic stone for something, I want to take it.
「Yes, I do’t mind. ......It’s just that, I would like for you to leave only the magic stone......」
「D・a・n・n・a・s・a・m・a...... Your tone!」
......Sylphy is scary.
「......Un, I don’t mind. Just leave me with the magic stone」(TLN: He changed to casual from polite and isn’t speaking hesitantly)
Un, I said it upfront.
「Of course, that’s not a problem. Since we’re the ones asking for a favour」
As such, the Orc・King and Orc・Generals are sold to the royal family.
Since I think it’ll be better not to dismantle, I only too the magic stone out and transferred the corpses into the storage bag Sylphy took out.
「They’re in my care now. Well then, I think I’ll head for the capital.
I’ll return in about 10 days but...... when I come back we’ll conclude the things from now on.
Aisha, I’ll leave Danna-sama’s matters to you」
「Yes, Hime-sama. Please leave it to me」
In this way, the originator of Aisha and my fate changing greatly returned directly to the capital.
◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇
「Now then, I’ll return to the Guild. I’ll talk about my retirement and my marriage with Myne-kun to the guild leader.
......Also, I’m staying in the guild’s dormitory, but I’ll naturally need to leave if I resign so.......」
Ah, that’s right.
She’s quitting the guild, so she can’t say something like please let me live in the dormitory, huh.
If that’s the case, naturally, I must let her live with me.
Uwa, this is nerve-wracking.......
「Hmm, I see. Of course please come to my house. While Aisha-san’s telling the guild I will clean up an empty room」
「......Honorifics......」
「I, I’ll work hard on that......」
Continuing from Sylphy, she made a retort to the honorifics.
This is going to be hard until I get used to it.......
◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇
「I’m back」
While knocking on the office door, I called out to the guild leader inside the room.
Confirming that the permission to enter was given, I entered the room.
「Oh, you’re back huh...... good work」
The guild leader greeted me with a complicated expression as if he’s crushed a bitter bug.
I reported about going to the orc’s settlement with Hime-sama, and naturally I also reported about the Orc・King’s subjugation.
The pale expression the guild leader was wearing when I told him about the Orc・King in the settlement was really a sight to behold.
Then, the expression he showed when he heard about the Orc・King already defeated by Myne-kun’s hands was an even more must-see.
「And? Did you manage to hear what Myne-kun’s Skills are from Hime-san?」
It seems that the guild leader has guessed Hime-sama’s intentions for coming to meet Myne-kun.
Well, that’s also expected, we know that Myne-kun’s Skills are special from the matter a few days ago.
A princess investigating a person thought to possess such special Skills. Since it’s like that, if you think about it a little, there’s no way you won’t be able to guess her objectives.
That’s probably why the guild leader asked me such a question.
「No, I did not」
As I said that, the guild leader became visibly dejected.
Towards how he dealt with Myne-kun this time, he was considerably worrying about it. He was probably thinking that if he could know about Myne-kun’s Skills, even if it’s through Hime-sama, Myne-kun could return to the guild.
I think he probably wants the promising adventurer to somehow return to the branch he was in charge of under such a pretext.
Since that’s the case, he’s still interested in Myne-kun’s Skills even now.
I think it’s ironic that the fact that the reason he eagerly wanted to know Myne-kun’s Skills at first changed completely.
It’d be good if guild leader could give up from the start, I cannot help but think that. (TLC: 最初から、ギルド長が折れておけば良かったのに、私からするとそう思わざるを得ないだけど。)
「......I see, by the way, about Hime-sama’s objective, as expected it’s related to partner searching, right?」
「Yes, that’s correct. ......Actually, there’s something important I have to tell you about the matter」
I reported about Hime-sama and me marrying Myne-kun, on top of that the three of us being in a party, and also about making an applicated to the country as a Clan.
「......Seriously」
Hearing up until there, the guild leader muttered hoarsely.
Guild leader’s biggest problem is that if the country approves of the Clan application, the path of Myne-kun returning to the guild will be closed.
Normally, Clan applications are rarely approved.
However, the applicant is this country’s First Princess, a remarkable knight who has the alias “Princess Knight”.
This is self-flattery, but while having only three members, you could say that we are equal to influential people.
“Princess Knight” “Sacred Bow” “Calamity-Class Killer”
This application might be approved.
I offered my condolences in my mind, and put my hands together.
「......Hm? Wait...... That clan, does it include you? What are you going to do about the guild?」
Ah, he noticed.
Since it was quite hard to mention it, it’s good that he brought it up.
「Yes, as you have guessed, I would like to quit. Fortunately, since I was Myne-kun’s exclusive receptionist, I don’t need to hand over anything」
「......Seriously」
AN:
Thank you very much for always reading.
Impressions and evaluations left will become my encouragement.
Please treat me well.
