Chapter 504 – Marriage Proposal -2-

Roman, who brought Dritna and her sister to the house where Rikke was, headed back to the mansion.

The more I take turns reflecting on the time, the more the corners of my mouth rise.

There is joy in accepting a marriage proposal with such a heavy meaning, but no one would have thought that Eclair would shed so many tears.

‘Oh, I’m going crazy. It’s so cute.’

Chloe’s tone and attitude make her seem as soft and soft as a sheet of paper, but she harbors a subtle venom.

On the contrary.

Eclair has a cool-headed impression that is hard to match, but he just grew up not learning how to express himself properly. He has an infinitely soft side to his spirit.

She never thought it would come out and stick out now.

I wonder how they will react when they come to their senses after being comforted by Ricke and Chloe inside the house.

‘It’s a shame I can’t see that from the side.’

Rumbling──!!!

Roman, who cut the night sky with his red thunderbolt, stepped into the yard of the mansion in one breath.

··

··

“Lily’s.”

“Yes, Mr. Roman.”

“It’s been a while since you two walked like this, right?”

“That’s right. If we assume that it’s just the two of us, it’s been a very long time.”

A sharp emphasis can be felt in exactly two letters.

Even if it’s Lilyne, who has a round and fluffy personality. You shouldn’t be complacent, thinking that everything will be understood and accepted. You need to check carefully to see if there are any complaints that are piling up.

Because she promised that every time. Roman first offered words of apology.

“···I’m sorry. Even when I look at it, I think it’s too bad.”

“Hehe, I didn’t mean to hear an apology. It’s definitely a pity, but we spend a lot of time together. I’m really enjoying our life right now.”

“Thank you.”

Liline has a particularly intense and stimulating side to Roman.

Unlike Rikenadritna and her sisters, this is the first of the relationships formed without prior information.

The fact that they watched Roman’s own indecent behavior the most, and that the relationship developed and was formed without them knowing each other at all.

“I thought, no matter what happened, Lily, she would never feel more than goodwill towards me.”

“Why?”

“You’ve seen the things I’ve done in the Adventurer’s Guild for a long time.”

“Mr. Roman…! You were aware that you had been acting strangely?!”

The man and woman walked down the street in the middle of the night, giggling.

The pink-haired woman laughed for a while and looked at the stars hanging on the roof of the world and brought up the next topic.

“···But I’m the same.”

“What?”

“Similarly, I had no idea that Roman would accept my feelings and develop a relationship like this.”

“Lily, you have reasonable charm. She was very popular among adventurers.”

“That’s my answer too. Mr. Roman also has the charm to be loved by everyone.”

Lily: When you lift her up like this, her body becomes itchy.

“If you give a compliment, you should receive it graciously.”

“Good idea. But where did everyone go?”

“Old house.”

“Ah, ah…?”

I know which house Roman is talking about. Even though she sounds like she understands, she tilts her head.

Holding the hand of his lover who didn’t ask any more questions, Roman thought for a moment.

I wonder how I can convey my feelings properly.

“Lily’s.”

“Yes?”

“People around me say I have the temperament to be a loving wife. What do you think?”

“It could definitely be so.”

A word from Roman that stimulates pleasant imagination. A smile appeared on Liline’s lips again.

“What do you think it will be like for your child?”

“Roman seems like he’s going to be a loser, but maybe it’s because I haven’t seen him with his child. I don’t picture him as clearly as a loving wife.”

“Well, I don’t plan to carelessly embrace my child. If he tries to go down a strange path, I have to catch him.”

“Are you even thinking about childcare plans with Ricke in mind?”

“No, it’s not just Ricke.”

Tak.

Roman stopped walking and turned around to face Lily.

She stretched out her hand.

“I want Lily to have my child too.”

“···!”

From the moment he grabbed his lover’s left hand, Roman already had a ring on one of his hands.

The corners of Lily’s smiling mouth widened blankly.

“Lily. Let’s officially live as a couple.”

····

“Seria. Do you always have that with you?”

“Yes! Here!”

A sword-shaped artifact hung like a necklace is shown along with a lively voice.

Putting her hand in and out of her clothes is definitely a fun action that is typical of Seria.

“How are your paintings these days?”

“It’s fun! Just filling out the paper is so much fun!”

It was the simplest and most wonderful answer.

Roman thinks that if Ceria is not stressed, she is the best.

“Seria said that besides painting, she also wants to do theater and singing.”

“That’s right. I’m worried because there are so many interesting things in the world. I only have one body.”

“You just have to take it one step at a time. For now… Shall we all go to Librosia to see the time?”

“Really…?!”

She thought that Seria would be very interested in Libro Siara.

It’s a place that gives Roman the impression of being confessed to by Chloe, but it’s also a city known for her culture.

It’s like a book alley that goes all the way from street plays.

Roman was happily listening to Seria’s story about traveling and chirping like a bird.

I saw the girl and felt a positive influence.

“It’s fun to be together. When she’s with Seria, there’s no time for the corners of her mouth to drop.”

“Eh!”

Her sudden attack makes her blush. The girl paused for a moment out of shyness.

Roman stopped her and put his hand into his inventory.

“Seria gives me confidence just for that. She’s amazing as expected. I respect her.”

The girl looked blankly at what the ring Roman was holding was.

Among her lovers, Ceria was the slowest to notice and react.

“···!!!”

She was blank for a while, and only then did she realize the meaning of what was being called out. The girl’s eyes became as big as the full moon.

Only then did Roman raise the corner of her mouth and get down on one knee.

“Seria. No, warrior.”

“Huh, huh…?!”

Appropriate eye level. Roman gently grabbed Seria’s left hand to prevent her from falling.

“The reason I was able to survive among adventurers and reach platinum is because I was very timid. Research was thorough, and escape was always a must.”

“···.”

“But now there will come a moment when you have to act bravely instead of thinking.”

Lovers, of course. You must also take responsibility for your unborn child.

Compared to that, dealing with demons is just ridiculous.

“We need Seria’s bright energy and strong spirit.”

“Do I have something like that…? I guess it’s just because I’m ignorant…”

Roman shook his head, saying no.

There is no such thing as truly ignorant bravery. A human with something like that cannot survive to adulthood on this continent.

“Seria. I think being a couple means thinking about one problem together.”

“···.”

“If I get scared at a critical moment and feel like she’s going to backslide, Seria stands by her side and gives me a spirited answer.”

Before Roman puts the sparkling ring on his ring finger.

He stopped and spoke again.

“Hero. Will you marry me?”

····

Before she called Alice, she took Ceria to her house, and Rike stepped forward to return to her mansion.

I feel sorry and anxious to leave her alone, so I am just grateful to Rike who comforts her.

On the way back.

When I asked Ricke how Eclair was, she said she was exhausted from crying and was sleeping in bed with Chloe.

Anyway, thanks to Ricke.

Roman went outside with Alice with a lighter heart.

“The air is so nice tonight!”

– City profit!

Alice enjoyed a midnight walk, holding Roman’s hand and running around.

Roman thought about many things as they passed through the alley together.

What is Alice thinking? Wouldn’t she be suspicious of the situation?

“Do you think Alice knows why I called her separately?”

“Hmm… I honestly don’t know. You’ve seemed worried a lot lately, so maybe that has something to do with it, right?”

It was accurate.

I’m sure everyone knows, but I was the only one trying to hide it. Roman mocked himself and looked at Alice and Tero.

“As soon as I came out, I thought everyone would ask where I went. Aren’t you curious about that?”

“I’m curious, but it’s Roman!”

– Shaa!

This kind of pure and blind faith drives men crazy.

She is not a woman who gives anyone hesitation in proposing marriage. They each show a different side, giving only assurance that they will be happy together.

Trudging. Trudging. Truly.

The paths of the walks were all different.

As I was walking with Alice, I saw an adventurer’s guild with lights on even in the middle of the night.

The two looked at each other and smiled silently.

“My first impression on Alice must have been the worst.”

“At that time… I was very scared, but I didn’t think he was a bad person.”

I am truly glad.

At least the fact that he didn’t kill the party members and kept his hands was a plus.

We chatted casually, looking back on the past, and bought a drink at a café just before it closed.

After solving their dry throats with a straw, the two sat down on a bench.

“It’s unexpected, but among the explanations given by Rakshasa, there was something related to eternal life.”

“Yes. I remember.”

“What does Alice think of eternal life?”

Alice crosses her arms, drooling and thinking. Thero chewed and spat out her master’s blonde hair repeatedly.

After a while.

The girl opened her eyes and answered.

“I think living without end is scarier than death. Lily’s sister and I are the ones who don’t understand wizards who research eternal life.”

“Hmm… Well, I understand.”

“Still.”

“Huh?”

Alice’s story is not over.

The girl lifted her head and smiled, looking intently at Roman.

“Living alone for eternity is scary. When I think of Roman, eternal life is not scary.”

“···.”

There was no need for words of persuasion. An answer that pierces the heart.

Roman suddenly got up from the bench.

On the spot, she got down on one knee and was at eye level with Alice.

··

··

The people around them are called out one by one and disappear.

“···.”

Atra was sitting on the sofa in the mansion, dazed.

I tried to read a book while waiting, but I couldn’t concentrate. Because of the situation, I couldn’t see the text.

Finally, just before Alice left, Atra was speechless when she saw Rike with bulging eyes come back.

According to Rike, who is smiling brightly despite his unusual eyes, everyone will be here soon.

‘Where is everyone…’

And I’m curious. What on earth happened when I went out?

Rike, who held something of her dearly, went straight to her room and then went into her bathroom, saying he would only wash her face.

‘I’m next… Right?’

If you are calling each person in turn, it is clear that you are next.

If I don’t call you, I think I’ll be a bit disappointed.

In the midst of raising many assumptions and thoughts.

The door creaked open and Roman showed her face.

“Atra. I’m sorry for keeping you waiting. Should we come out and talk? I’ll take you to the church as well.”

“Oh, yes… I’ll be out soon!”

Fortunately, you are calling me.

The saintess, filled with excited curiosity, hurriedly put on her pitch black shoes.
