Chapter 490 – Girl or Weapon -1-

Crash!

The moment the door to the mansion was opened, all eyes focused on Roman and Alice, and there was silence.

Before exchanging pleasantries, I am waiting to hear an answer about how things worked out.

Hehe…!”

The first words that Alice, who was receiving so much attention, would utter were predetermined.

The bronze-skinned girl raised the corner of her mouth and spoke.

“Permission granted!”

– Sigh!

Since Roman went with her, she expected that she would somehow come back with good results.

Of course, the sense of security you get from hearing a definitive answer is something special.

“Congratulations.”

Lily, let’s welcome her with a warm smile and say her first words. The three younger brothers raised their voices together.

“Wow!!!”

“I believed it would work out as expected. Congratulations.”

“Sis! Congratulations!”

Alice entered the mansion with wide open arms, fully accepting all the congratulations.

She hugged each and every member of her family whom she had not seen for a while.

Roman followed behind, smiling as he watched the happy daily life.

The girls who were released from Alice’s embrace approached with shining eyes.

“Did you have a good trip too?”

“Oh, brother… Thank you for your hard work! Would you like something to drink?”

Rather than answering her questions, I end up kissing her and holding her in my arms.

She said that Chloe, who was held with Rike, was fine, and she reported the situation.

Roman rolled his eyes and looked for invisible faces.

“Are Eclair and Atra going to work?”

“Ah, the sisters–.”

She wants to hear news about the two empty ones.

Since today was the last handover day, Eclair decided to return after having dinner with her members.

According to the guidance Atra received from Roman, the paladins and priests she had sent returned and went to receive a report from her church.

‘If I’m going to introduce Nir and Rakshasa… It would be better when everyone is present.’

After patting her on the butt to show her hard work, I let go of Rike and Chloe.

While Roman was chatting with her sister Electra, Alice’s powerful voice rang through her mansion.

“Pretty girls gathered!”

– Hiss! Tasting!

Alice gathered her younger siblings at the table and unwrapped them one by one the gifts she had bought from Edelman.

“This is Rikke’s gift!”

“!”

What Alice rummaged through her bag was a teaspoon with a cat’s paw print.

Rike accepted the gift with her mouth slightly open.

To the outside world, Rike appears to be cynical and quiet, but the family at her mansion knows the girl’s real personality and even her taste for cute things.

“What do you think? It’s not expensive, but I chose it with Roman. Do you like it?”

“I really like it… Thank you.”

The thought is important, but how much importance should the price have on the emotion?

Rike, who had been shot right in the center of her heart, held the teaspoon she had received as a gift in his arms.

“Next is Chloe!”

“Yes, yes!”

Chloe, who reads books or writes whenever she has time, was given a fountain pen with Edelman’s windmill pattern.

“I used the same model before buying it, and I liked the smooth feel.”

“Sister… I will really cherish it!”

“I’m glad she seems to like it. I’m happy for her.”

Alice, who found it so lovely to see Chloe excited like a child after receiving it, lifted her heel and stroked her sister’s head, which was bigger than I.

Next is Seria.

She usually enjoys singing and drawing, but recently, her younger brother has been trying to learn how to cook.

Because she had many hobbies, she received many small gifts.

Seria went to her hometown and was touched and hugged by Alice who cared about her.

“Ouch!!! Uh, sis, bend my waist!”

“If you show cuteness to your sister, I’ll let you go.”

Before she could create a warm atmosphere, Seria struggled against Alice’s familiar tightening force.

This picture is often shown because although the two are similar in height and weight, their natural strength is different.

‘It’s peaceful.’

Smiles bloomed on the lips of Roman and Liline, who were watching the scene a few feet away.

Isn’t this a really nice relationship?

“Mr. Roman, how do you feel about being officially approved as a young and cute bride?”

It is indeed a new question.

Lily Née poked her side with a playful voice.

“Whenever I look around me every day, I get the feeling that he is a lucky man.”

“Really? I feel like I’m a lucky woman every day. Roman and I have some similarities.”

These days, Lily’s cuteness has increased significantly. Roman wrapped his arms around the waist of his lover who said nice things to him and pulled him.

In the midst of the commotion, Lily, who was in Roman’s arms, closed her eyes and savored the scent and warmth of her lover’s flesh.

“Next…!”

– Hiss.

Even after giving things to my younger siblings, the bag was still heavy with a lot of stuff in it.

Alice put her hand in rummaging through it and took out one of her boxes. She came straight up to Lily, who was right next to Roman.

“I also bought a gift for my sister!”

“Uh… Me too?”

“Of course! I also have Eclair and Atra.”

“Open it quickly.”

At Roman’s invitation, Lily moved her hand, saying her thanks.

“!”

Inside the box Alice gave her, there were scented candles neatly placed.

Because I know that when she is reading her book or idly, she lights her scented candle and enjoys the soft scent.

Roman and Alice had no worries when buying Lily’s gift.

Eclair gathered information from the church and met Atra, who had stopped by to report to the imperial family, and returned together late at night.

As soon as the two entered the mansion, they became curious about how the story about Alice progressed.

After receiving permission, Ali congratulated Roman and Alice on the success.

“What’s your schedule for tomorrow?”

Roman asked, rubbing his back with his large hand. Eclair opened her mouth first, raising the corners of her mouth.

“Today, I step down as the leader of the Knights of Eunik. Now all I have left is time.”

“I stopped by the church in the morning… Well, I think I’ll have time after lunch.”

Roman raised his head and saw Rike smiling on one side.

“Then, let’s all go to the church for lunch. Shall we move on to Rike’s territory?”

“I was already waiting.”

“Yes. I will prepare.”

Since it was an issue that had been mentioned and discussed in advance, the two were quick to accept it.

When Roman came back, a memorial service was also a set order from the beginning.

“And… Um…”

Roman continued talking about the two beings that existed in his image.

“Oppa?”

“Is something happening?”

Rike tilted her head at the rare sight of Roman remaining relaxed.

Eclair took a step forward, pressed her breasts against Roman’s abdomen, and looked him intently in the eyes.

Eyes filled with transparent concern, separate from any strange sensations.

Roman continued speaking as he recognized the two people moving actively in his mind.

“I have some kids to introduce to you.”

“Oppa. Did you get a confession?”

“Is it because of the children that the family is growing?”

“The topic is a bit different from that one. No, should I say this is correct…”

“Hmm?”

Roman couldn’t easily come up with an answer to Ricke and Eclair’s blunt questions.

It’s not a problem at that level, but there was a lot of difficulty in choosing words to express the existence of Nir and Rakshasa.

Nir and Rakshasa were born as weapons. Considering the purpose of its existence, it is certainly correct to describe it as a weapon.

However, Roman has already become something more than that.

To describe Gleipnir and Rakshasa simply as weapons left a bitter taste in my mouth and made me feel uncomfortable.

“I can’t explain it because it’s difficult. I’ll just show you.”

Grumbling ──.

Everyone’s eyes focused on those being pulled out of the air.

A double-edged sword with holy energy and a chain that Roman has loved for a long time. It was a familiar item to the women of the mansion.

“Isn’t this Roman’s weapon?”

“That’s right.”

“I wonder how long that chain can stretch.”

With those words, Eclair quietly followed the sword and chain flying in the air with her eyes.

No one yet understood what Roman was trying to show.

“Do it?”

When Roman spoke in one word and applied mana, something strange appeared in her eyes.

In fact, at first, I didn’t even know how to summon it and transform it into human form. However, the moment I had a question, a method came to mind.

Chizzy───!!!

The floating sword and chain spewed out dark red electricity and gradually changed shape.

It began to take on the appearance of a human being.

Everyone except Roman watched the scene blankly with their mouths open.

“It’s Gleipnir! Please call me Nir…!”

“The girl is said to be a Rakshasa.”

Gleipnir glanced at her master, Roman, with nervous eyes, then bowed sharply to the women in front of her.

The Rakshasa extended her long flowing sleeves in front of her and greeted her politely with her arms.

Even though she was greeted, she couldn’t give anyone an answer.

Even Rike and Eclair, who pride themselves on being quick to adapt to unexpected situations or situations, became frozen like stone statues.

There is no need to say what the rest is like.

“””···.”””

There was silence in the mansion, as if cold water had been poured.
