Chapter 24.2 – Invitation from the Military Oneichan (2)

The next day, I was with Slayra-san again.

I had been summoned after the lab.

We sat in a different seat from yesterday. We’re in a more secluded place.

「I showed you something unsightly yesterday.」

「No.」

「I have a not-so-close relationship with the Zarkudo School and we often clash in the royal capital.」

「Is that so?」

「So, about yesterday….」

Ah, I don’t remember much.

I think she was talking about age difference or something.

「I’ll get straight to the point before someone gets in the way again. The state wants to turn you into a noble.」

「Eh? Why?」

「Your research saved the military 10% of its spending. It will be a problem if a talent like you will be kept afloat.」

「Has it come to that point…..」

「I’ll be the one who’ll take you in but if you don’t like it, tell me.」

While saying so, Slayra-san shows a timid look but, no, wait wait wait.

「Slayra-san, aren’t you from a pretty good noble family? There’s no way they’ll agree with you and a commoner…..」

「Oh, that’s not a problem. I’ve already left my parent’s house and I’m the matriarch of my own noble lineage. Well, if we use Mesias’ play as reference, I’m “banished”.」

「Can you tell me why….」

「I’ve overused my magic organ and people without magic organs can’t bear a child with strong magical power. I’m sorry but we can only depend on the next generation to strengthen their magic power.」

「Eh? Is that all? I mean, I can regenerate magic organ….」

「What!?」

「Uwaaaa!!!」

The table was destroyed by Slayra-san who stood up vigorously. The hot coffee on it all fell on me.

「This is! How can this information……right, this should be the evil effect of blatantly lowering the evaluation of the lowers! Damn it!」

Slayra-san wipes me with a handkerchief while cursing with rage. It’s okay since I’m only wearing cheap clothes today.

「That said, there’s no way I’ll give you to other nobles anymore. You’ll agree to our engagement, right? Schenker?」

The marriage I’m hoping for is here. Even so, I have my own ideals.

「Do you mind if I put some conditions?」

「What are your conditions? Concubines? That’s unforgivable.」

What’s up with this lady? Her eyes suddenly turned super scary.

Is she the possessive type?

「No, play is my hobby and I would like to have my own opera house someday, are you okay with that?」

「No problem. Invite me to watch every once in a while.」

She returned to her usual gentle eyes.

I see. So, any impure relationship between men and women is a landmine.

Got it!

Good thing I didn’t say anything about it.

「I don’t want to work.」

「No problem. I’ll feed you.」

This lady is so cool…..

「No one will force you to continue your research given how much contribution you already made but the state will like it if you improve your current research.」

「Then….I would like to ask Slayra-san, are you sure you want to do this? I mean, with me…..」

I’m honestly curious about it.

There is no way for me to say no to a marriage decided by the state but she doesn’t have to marry me as long as I heal her magic organ.

I want both of us to be honest about our marriage but I don’t want to have any disagreement with the other party since she’s someone the state introduces to me.

By the way, I’m totally okay with it.

Slayra-san has a good ass.

According to commoner’s standards, she’s too blunt but she’s a mage which makes it perfectly acceptable.

「I’m embarrassed to say this but….until this year, I was never familiar with the color of love. To be honest, I don’t even understand it so it would be helpful if you teach me a lot of things.」

I feel like it’s not impossible.

Well, it’s good that we won’t start in the negative.

「It’s just….」

Slayra-san patted me on the head and said,

「I think you’re a cute little brother」

This lady, could it be that she’s a shotacon?

Thus, before I knew what was going on, my marriage-seeking activity came to an abrupt end.

AN: It is difficult to make an original heroine.
