Prince's consultation.
At any rate, when the cooking was finished, Alphage-sama wanted to talk to me. Is it about his Okaasama again? I readily agreed. Dirk also cheerfully sent me off.
We rented a room in the Adventurer's Guild, I soundproofed it with a barrier, and decided to listen to what he had to say. It would be bad if we talked about a possible coup again!
“And so, what is it about?”
“............ Yeah. I’m sorry, this is a personal matter, but……”
“I don’t mind. You are my friend.”
“Yeah, thank you. So, umm…… right.”
“Yes.”
“Err…… right.”
“Yes.”
“That…… ah~! Darn it! I can’t say it!”
“Eh~?”
Alphage-sama was clearly flustered. I wonder what it is, it's unusual.
“I know you had something you wanted to talk to me about. Please give me a hint first."
“... I need to get engaged or married soon.”
“So you want my help with the girl you like! Alright!”
“Wait!! How did you come up with that!?”
Alphage-sama's face turned bright red. I thought I had a good idea, though…
“The current situation is that you are a private person who is hard to talk to, and that you have to get married soon. If you are having a difficult time asking for an advice, I thought you were asking me to bridge the gap with a girl in my friend circle you like.”
“You have seriously high EQ in non-standard situations… it’s exactly that. I'm shamelessly asking you to help me with this. How can I get Miss Rabisha to look at me?”
“............ Eh?”
Miss Rabisha?
Rabisha-chan!?
To think that was Rabisha-chan!! No, come to think of it, they meet quite often. And his cheeks are blushed once in a while. Yeah, he has a pulse!
“Understood. I will cooperate with you.”
“!? A, are you sure!?”
“... Yes? It was you who wanted my cooperation, no?”
“But well, I have bad personality, and you might think that I’m unsuitable for Miss Rabisha…”
Alphage-sama… you really mellowed out.
“I think you are a kindhearted person.”
“............ Haah?”
Wow, that's rare. It's Alphage-sama's pouty face. Don’t be spoiling your cool beauty now.
“You worry about me like a brother, you tell me I can count on you if I need anything, and you actually follow through, don't you? I'll support you because you're smart, you're wealthy, and you don't seem like someone who would cheat on his spouse.”
“...... I see. By the way, what type of men does Miss Rabisha like?”
“... Someone with money, I guess…”
“That’s tough…”
“Ah, I think she said she likes the gentle kind. Rabisha-chan is herself is a little strict herself.”
“So, the exact opposite of me.”
If I had to say, you are a tsundere. But I can’t say it. I will get scolded for sure. I also grew up…
“Das not twue.”
“... You real thoughts are?”
“I’m thinking that your gentleness is difficult to understand because you are a tsundere.”
“......... You’ve got some guts.”
“Owowowow! Don't grind my heeaaaad!!”
I accidentally slipped up and was (physically) scolded. Oh damn, it was an accident! Who's that guy who said I've grown up too! It was me!
It was painful.
In the meantime, we decided to see how much of a pulse Rabisha-chan had.
I captured Rinka, who had been skipping out, to help out. Well, it was also Rinka's debut as an adventurer, so she wasn't exactly skipping out. Rinka was in a good mood and her eyes were sparkling.
“Ah, Rosarin-chan! I made a friend… no, a soul friend!”
“The hell is that.”
“A bestie who attracted my soul!”
“Haah…”
I don't understand well, but Rinka's excitement was maxed out. Later, I would regret not having checked the facts more thoroughly here... but that's another story.
I decided to finish my business.
“Rinka, go and link arms with Alphage-sama over there. Give this memo to him secretly.”
“...? I don’t get it, but alright!”
Rinka immediately went to Alphaqge-sama to get involved. Well, Rabisha was… there.
She was out studying abroad, but had returned home when she heard of my celebration. It looks like she was shocked to see Rinka clinging to Alphage-sama so closely.
“Rabisha-chan.”
“Hiaah!? Ooojousama… ah, congratulations.”
She was behaving very suspiciously. I can't imagine that she would be acting like this normally, but she was paying attention to Alphage-sama and Rinka, while she was with me.
Isn’t this a mutual love… I thought to myself.
Now then, how to go about this? I’m having too much fun.
What do you think about this chapter?
