Chapter 51
“First of all, the place is too ordinary.”
When Luna pointed at it, Hisran’s brow furrowed slightly. He, too, agreed with it.
“I didn’t just think of restaurants. I was thinking about various places, and various problems came up together, so I disposed of it and left only the restaurant.”
“Let’s talk about those various places.”
“Capital square? Concert hall? A pretty flower garden…?”
“What’s wrong with the capital square? I think we can plan a special stage.”
“Jaeha doesn’t like crowds.”
While Jaeha seemed to be indifferent due to her unique feisty personality, she was the type of person who cared deeply about other people’s gazes.
“Hmm, that’s right… so, what about the concert hall? Tower Master, you have enough money. Don’t you think it would be cool to propose in a venue where actors do a short play about the first meeting between Tower Master and Miss Jaeha?”
Luna spoke with shining eyes. Proposal using a play was a method that became famous when Elroi, the Third Emperor of the Cainus Empire, did it. Several wizards were seen nodding their heads in agreement with the opinion.
Hisran couldn’t think of anything else to say, so he kept his mouth shut for a moment.
‘I want to do it if I can.’
If their meeting had been a little more normal, he would have been fussing around unknowingly to implement the method Luna had told him.
‘I don’t think she’d be thrilled at all, second to the fact that the play would be labeled as ‘Adult Audience only’! It will be totally embarrassing!’
He was 100% sure… The plan had the same effect as telling her to break up with him.
“…Uh, our first meeting was a little off.”
As Hisran answered, someone offered a different opinion, “Then, what about the situation where Tower Master rescued Miss Jaeha from the hordes of warlocks? If the wizards here can recreate the battle, I think it would be cool.”
“No, crazy! Do you want Jaeha to recall the terrible memories of that time?”
“We’re not trying to make a play to promote the Red Tower right now.”
The proposal was rejected by Hisran and Luna at the same time, and the wizard who made the remark was also fiercely burned and taken to the infirmary.
Luna shook her head.
“These wizards lack social skills!”
Of course, she was also a wizard as well. However, openly people never complained, they might do it inside. Even though Hisran’s fire stopped after a brief moment, it would create a dark history that would never be forgotten if he drank the wrong medicine she made.
“Let’s put off the play, what’s wrong with the flower garden?”
“Ah, it’s not that Jaeha doesn’t like flowers, but her hatred of insects is greater than her preference for flowers.”
“How about using Diana’s insect repellent spray?”
“It’s short-lived.”
Indeed. And, after excluding the options for some subtle reason, there was only the restaurant that seemed to be okay and with no variables. Luna and the wizards were convinced of Hisran’s plan.
“Miss Jaeha is a more demanding type than I thought?”
“Maybe, it was God’s arrangement for the Tower Master not to propose and not get married?”
“No, are you serious?”
As the magicians of the red tower gradually teased Hisran, the meeting began to get agitated. When fireworks flew in the conference hall, voices hurriedly unfolding the shield resounded.
“Ha…”
A sigh escaped from Zephiroth’s mouth as he leaned back and listened to the wizard’s pathetic remarks.
He didn’t like to get involved in things like this though he attended because he was afraid that the Tower Master, who easily loses his temper, would run wild without restraint if it was related to Jaeha. As he expected, the meeting didn’t last more than 10 minutes and took a different turn.
At this point, Zephiroth had no choice but to cast reasonable doubts.
Maybe, the Tower Master had no intention of making plans or supplementing with the wizards of the red tower from the beginning, or maybe the wizards of the red tower had no intention of helping the Tower Master from the beginning.
“Tower Master, rather than proposing, think about how to hide your dirty personality!”
“First of all, start thinking about beating you.”
Zephiroth, the deputy master, was very bitter as he watched the innocent chairs and furniture suddenly turn to ashes and disappear. Because he burnt things like that from time to time, the budget of the red tower was always tight.
He immediately begged God Magia to let the bloody Tower Master’s proposal fail, but he was afraid of how much the furniture and buildings of the red tower would be damaged, so he stopped. Instead, Zephiroth was faithful to his duties as the deputy master and poured cold water on the Tower Master and wizards.
He hoped he could get some cold water and calm themselves down.
Diana’s clothes shopping for practicality ended earlier than expected, and Jaeha’s chores, where she only needed to buy a few books at the bookstore, ended quickly.
Because of that, Diana had an obligation to spend more than two or three hours outside with her, so she suggested to Jaeha that she was getting hungry and stopped by a cafe, which sold simple snacks and drinks such as sandwiches.
Jaeha, who enjoyed snacks, gladly accepted.
The two women ordered a sandwich with plenty of ham, a slice of fruit cake, and two drinks. Since it was a store located in a downtown area, there were quite a few customers even in the middle of the afternoon.
“Huh? The sandwiches are better than expected.”
“The drinks are good, too.”
In addition, it was accompanied by a beautiful piano melody, and the atmosphere was good. While the face of the man playing the piano was invisible, he looked pretty cool in a black tailcoat.
Diana and Jaeha talked for a while about the food they ordered and then talked about their main living space, the Red Tower. The red tower, where wizards with strong personalities gather, had both a weakness and an advantage in that there was no quiet day.
“So, you know what Avery asked of Shannon? To go to the Blue Tower…”
By the time Diana’s story reached its climax, the cafe became somewhat noisy. The piano was no longer audible.
Jaeha and Diana, whose eyes became round, glanced around.
“Huh?”
“Oh.”
The performer got up from the chair and was kneeling on the floor. He had slightly curly brown hair and a fairly decent appearance, which had been obscured by the wall a while ago.
In front of the man stood a woman with splendid hair.
“Wow, he was going to confess or propose.”
Jaeha blinked her eyes and stared at them. Diana well remembered how she seemed to be interested in the situation.
“Catherine, from the moment I first met you until now, you have been my only muse and sweet music itself. Will you spend the rest of your life with me?”
The man spat out a proposal before taking the ring out of his arms.
“Matthew…”
The gentle-looking woman’s face was a mixture of surprise, bewilderment, and joy. Due to the nature of the cafe, the proportion of female customers was overwhelmingly high, so small squeals could be heard here and there.
“I was a little surprised, but… yes.”
The woman, having somewhat settled her surprise, accepted her lover’s proposal. Meanwhile, the cafe owner, watching the scene with a happy face, set off fireworks for celebration. The guests in the cafe also applauded, congratulating the couple.
Jaeha and Diana also participated with joy.
Even though the lover disappeared and the stage was cleaned up, there was still a lot of noise in the cafe. This was because the guests started talking about the wedding proposal a while ago.
In fact, Diana was able to accomplish her mission just by spending two or three hours outside with Jaeha. However, she had an excellent opportunity, and she wanted to do a little bit more because she was a professional wizard who did over 110% of her assigned work—!
“It’s surprising. I thought Miss Jaeha would hate such an event, saying that it draws the attention of others too much.”
“There are things like that because it’s someone else’s matter… Still, isn’t this good enough? It’s not completely crowded, and in a few days, it will be forgotten or withered in most memories.”
“Actually, the people we met in places like this are just passing by. The psychological burden will be less.”
Well, she seemed to have some valuable information.
Diana continued her words, hiding her thoughts well, “By the way, the man must have been a piano player. The performance was quite beautiful. He may be a member of the Imperial Palace Music Troupe.”
“Oh, maybe that’s why he looked better. Even where I lived, there were often people who proposed marriage like this. I’m not good at playing any instrument, whether it’s a piano or a recorder… Someone who can play an instrument well looks great.”
“I see. If I had to choose, I like a calm and rational man.”
…A person who could play an instrument well looks great.
The second piece of information was also worthwhile. Diana grinned as she pondered what she would receive in exchange for passing these pieces of information to Hisran. Somehow, the little drink left in her glass now tasted sweeter.
After Hisran and the red tower wizards clashed and messed up the meeting room, some ideas came up. Excluding things that sound like jokes or nonsense, about three were usable.
1. Proposal in a travel destination that is full of unfamiliar charm and is less likely to be bothered about other people’s eyes.
2. Proposal while watching a good romance play together that continued like a special stage.
3. Proposal in an artificial flower garden created to prevent even a single insect from entering with the power of magic.
All three were backup plans that he had set aside for trivial reasons.
Hisran’s head was spinning furiously after a long time, just like when he first learned the magic and read the magic book all night, with a pounding heart to prepare for a stage that will make Jaeha happy and excited.
