Megante*… no, my eyes(me) are(ga) blurry(ten).
(*Dragon Quest spell, English translation: Kamikazee.)
Then my Father escorted me to a large door that looked like a hall. The building was decorated with beautiful stained-glass windows and illuminated by fantastic light. In the aisles to the left and right, I heard voices of blessings from familiar faces.
And as my Father proceeded, I saw My Darling Dirk-sama, dressed in formal attire.
Is this a dream? This is a dream, right? I pinched my cheek, but it hurt, so it’s not a dream.
“Be happy.”
My Father smiled calmly, somewhat sadly, and tried to hand me over to Dirk.
But I did not take his hand. What? What? What do you mean?
However, I did not take his hand. Eh? What? What is this about!?
This is probably a church.
And my outfit is a wedding dress.
Now must be the scene where I walk down the aisle with my Father and he hands me over to the groom.
Okay! I’ve got the situation figured out, but I don’t get it!!
Just as I was getting confused, Jend appeared through the door that my Father and I had just entered. Jend was dressed like a groom too, huh? Is that it? A bride robber?
“Wait a minute!! Rosarin, marry me instead!!”
“I’m sorry.”
“To think you would shut me down instantly!?”
Jend was in tears. No, I’m I’m sorry. But I don’t think it’s right to be vague. Jend shakily moved to the corner. There was someone else behind him… Ordo?
“Rosarin, please be my bride!”
“I’m sorry.”
“Kuh…”
I’m not sure if Ordo was serious or not. But he seemed to be depressed. He also sadly moved to the corner. There was still someone there. Is this the Rosarin queue? No, I guess not.
“B, Big sis! I love youuu!!”
“I’m sorry.”
“Gufuh! Thank you, Big sis… I can finally give up…”
Garv was crying. I didn’t know he liked me. I feel apologetic, but I can’t stand this any longer. I mean, what is this? Is this supposed to be a grand surprise? Won’t someone like Kanata-san bring up a sign saying, “The surprise was a big success☆” to get back at me someday? He… is here. He was laughing.
At any rate, while Dirk was frozen in place, I sprang into action.
“Geraldin! Bring my away!!”
“Ou!”
I was impressed just how muscle-brained this fella is. He carried out my order by spinal reflex. He carried me on his back and immediately ran away.
“Eeeh!? W, wait! Rosarin, where are you going!?”
“… Rosarin, I will hold son-in-law back for you.”
“Rosarin-chan doesn’t seem to agree to this. As a friend, as a servant… I shall help you stop him.”
“It’s for the lovely Rosarin-chan. I shall lend you a hand.”
No, I mean… My Father alone is so strong, but Shushu-san and Mistress… oh, the rejected group was joining in too? Dirk, are you going to be okay!?
However, in no time at all, I was carried away by Geraldin-san. I can see that he cared for me more than usual.
“First of all, I would like to check in with you, My Lord.”
Currently, we were in a room of an inn for adventurers. Geraldin-san looked nervous. I straightened my posture as well.
“Yes.”
“If you say you don’t like this marriage, I will help you go to another country or wherever, what do you say?”
“Oh, it’s just a strategic retreat to gather my thoughts, so we don’t have to leave for another country.”
“I see. You are my benefactor, My Lord… my family. You should be happier than anyone else. For that, you can count on me as much as you want.”
This was probably the part of him that makes people love him as a “Hero”. He is a bit of a nuisance on a daily basis, but he is a very compassionate person.
“Thank you. My followers need to be happy themselves, too, though.”
“I know. I have been happy every day since meeting you, My Lord.”
I petted Geraldin-san and he wagged his tail. Yup. He’s an old man, but he’s cute and a good fluffers… I was slightly escaping reality.
