CH 345
A Father-in-law, scolded and down
It should have been a marriage greeting, but for some reason, I was challenged to a duel, and among our party, Freesia, and the aged Elf we don’t know were dumbstruck, the first one to recover was Freesia.
Gon!
Just as I thought I heard a dull thud, Dante-san’s eyes rolled white and collapsed, and Freesia-san was swinging around a mace from who knows where.
「Now then, it’s a small house, but please come in.」
「「「「「…………」」」」」
As if nothing had happened, Freesia-san invited us into the mansion.
「……will Father be okay like that?」
「Leave him.」
Sophia directed a cold gaze at the white-eyed Dante and stepped over him as she made her way into the house.
「Sorry for the intrusion.」
We also stepped over Dante-san and entered the mansion. At that time, Kaede purposefully trampled over Dante-san in amusement and entered. He’s not a welcome mat, Kaede.
「Now now, please take your seats.」
「……e-excuse me.」
Slightly taken aback by Freesia-san acting normally, we sat on the sofa.
Since we came here for the marriage greetings, only Sophia and I were sitting here, while Maria, Laeva, Akane, and the other girls were resting in a different room.
Just as I was thinking it was strange that the old Elven man from a while ago was not in the same room, an unsteady Dante entered the room.
「Freesia, wasn’t that too mean?」
「You, sit down too.」
「……yes.」
Despondent, Dante-san shrank. Because he looked to be a young, frighteningly well-groomed Elf, the gap in that pitiful display was staggering.
Pulling myself together, I corrected my sitting posture and was going to talk about our objective of informing Sophia’s parents of our marriage.
「No! I don’t want to hear it!」
「「Eh?」」
「…………」
Dante placed his hands over his ears and said that he didn’t want to hear what I wanted to talk about.
Sophia and I were dumbfounded, not understanding the meaning of this situation. On the other hand, Freesia revealed seething anger that seemed audible.
Gyuuーー!!
「Ow! Ow ow ow ow! Freesiaaa! I-it hurts! My cheek will fall off!」
「Seriously, dear. Haa, I’m sorry, Takumi-san.」
「Eh, ah, yes, it’s alright.」
Dante-san was surprised at being pinched on the cheeks so much that he felt it would be torn off, but I was surprised that Freesia-san had changed the way she addresses me to 『Takumi-san』 before I had even known it.
「My, could you be wondering about the change of addressing you? Isn’t it natural to for you to be my son-in-law, Takumi-san?」
「I haven’t acknow- OW! It hurts! I’m sorry, Freesia!」
Freesia-san said she acknowledges our wedding, calling me her son-in-law. Dante-san opposed, and was in tears once more when Freesia-san pinched his cheeks yet again.
I adjusted my sitting posture and bowed.
「Dante-san, Freesia-san, would you allow me to marry Sophia?」
「Yes, of course. Make her happy, okay?」
「…………」
Freesia-san was smiling happily and beside her was a sullen Dante-san looking away.
「Dear, please put an end to what you are doing.」
「W- no, but Freesia, isn’t marriage a bit too soon?」
「It’s not at all too soon. Dear, just how old do you think Sophia is?」
「Mother! Please don’t talk about age!」
When Freesia-san began talking about Sophia’s age, Sophia hurriedly stopped the conversation.
Sophia who was over 80 years old was treated as a young girl by Elven standards, so it wouldn’t be wrong to say that it was too early for marriage, but it was likely that Dante-san would disagree no matter what age Sophia was. I recall a coworker who had a daughter saying something similar.
「Well, apart from Sophia’s age, our daughter had already left home, so I will not allow any objection to this marriage.」
「Thank you very much, Freesia-san.」
When I thanked her once more, Freesia-san asked me if we were to have a ceremony.
「Will you offer up a ceremony?」
「About that, Mother, we are commoners, but in Valkyra Kingdom, we are known as adventurers and artisans.」
「Originally, this topic came up in the audience with His Majesty, so it’s been said that even Margrave Volton whom we are indebted to would be troubled if we are holding a ceremony for our inner circle……」
We spoke honestly to Freesia-san about many things that had to be settled, such as how we plan on having a wedding ceremony, where would it be held? Or its scale?
「Oh my, you have difficult problems.」
「Ah, of course, Dante-san and Freesia-san, you are invited.」
「Fufu, thank you, Takumi-san. Let’s leave the difficult subjects here, and we welcome you with all we can so rest well.」
When the conversation ended without a conclusion, we were told by Freesia-san to relax in the guest room until it is time to eat, so I quickly headed to the guest room where everyone was waiting so I could escape Dante-san’s glare.
