Chapter 183

“uh… Well?”

Shion, unable to find an answer, looks carefully.

The golden eyes were shining more fiercely than ever before.

I couldn’t bear to face those eyes.

“You thought you could marry me?”

“I did say so… Taking a little more time… … .”

“Why are you so moody? Tell me why you can’t do it now.”

“Still left… … .”

“Excluding those who drank.”

“… … .”

Shion is speechless and twists his eyes.

Harnette nonchalantly met that gaze and waited for another answer.

“Whoa… Sister, didn’t you say that marriage is scary?”

“I’m more afraid of what you’re doing. Not once, not twice. If you’ve gone twice, can’t you commit a third time?”

“Have I not done anything yet?”

“It’s just now.”

“Can you see my future now?”

“Because it’s also my future?”

“Ah, so you’re going to tie me up so I can’t go anywhere?”

“I don’t want to tie it up, but I want to throw it away somewhere. Are you saying that because you have so many lives?”

“This is so… Should I laugh or should I cry… … .”

Shion sighed and walked towards the chair.

Hannett is speechless and silently follows him.

“I do understand, though. I can’t even say it wasn’t my fault.”

Shion sat down on a chair and started looking for a towel.

Harnette quickly picks up the towel and hands it to Shion.

“I’m only once… you are twice And I only got hit, but I didn’t step out like you.”

“That is also true.”

Shion didn’t bother to deny that.

After all, it was close to throwing my body to die.

Both he and Hanette knew what the act meant.

“Let me tell you what I think. Perhaps the three great demon kings and the four great calamities were annihilated. Now there is only one drinker and miscellaneous monsters left. It looks like it’s been sorted out… It doesn’t matter if I get married now.”

Shion wipes off the sweat and continues the conversation calmly.

Harnette sits right next to her and listens to the words.

“by the way… I have a little concern.”

“What do you care about?”

“I saw the artificial demon sword break, but… pieces are left Did you see my sister too?”

“Yeah, I saw it too. So you tried to find the broken pieces.”

Harnette personally witnessed the sight of the artificial magic sword breaking while destroying the slime dragon’s core.

After that, the slime dragon’s body disintegrated, and red liquid poured out and covered the ground.

I watched the situation for a while and tried to collect the fragments of the artificial sword, but in the end I couldn’t find anything.

“It could have disappeared while I couldn’t see it for a while. Maybe I’m mistaken. but… Don’t you think it’s too easy?”

“Um… … .”

Hanette ponders over Shion’s words.

From the first time the Demon God appeared in the capital, he made full use of superior speed and stealth abilities.

In addition, even after being counterattacked by Lesia, she quickly ran away using her hidden abilities.

How could such a demon not keep in mind the situation in which the artificial demonic sword was destroyed?

“You mean something is not neat?”

“I think there is something hidden. Shouldn’t we watch a little more?”

“There is nothing wrong with being careful. Aren’t you a weirdo?”

The demon god was the most unusual and difficult among the demon beasts he had ever encountered.

He did not directly invade the kingdom of Alain, but secretly appeared and tried to proceed with the plan.

Most of all, he had no choice but to be vigilant because he had committed bizarre things.

“So, it’s better to postpone the wedding a little longer… … .”

“If I just put it off, I’ll have to stay like this until I die of old age?”

“Oh, of course in a few years… … .”

“Doesn’t a few years feel like a long time?”

“It has been over a year since our engagement ceremony. Usually it takes 3 months, but sometimes it goes up to 6 months. 6 months there… … .”

“You have to speak straight. A year and a month and eight more days have passed since the engagement ceremony.”

“… … .”

Shion slowly turned his head, lost for words.

I wouldn’t have counted the days, but I was categorizing them with excessive precision.

Wouldn’t it be only a matter of getting caught if I brought out the word here?

“Sigh… i can wait Weren’t you and I burdened with marriage? You must keep what I said.”

“Didn’t you ask me to get married after going all the way?”

“You are not wrong. I can’t say it’s over because there’s something suspicious about it.”

As Shion said, it might have been better to wait a few more years.

We are still very close, but there was no reason to dwell on marriage.

Above all, I didn’t want to ruin my one and only wedding because of the one drink.

“Six months at the earliest, two years at the latest. I think this would be enough time… What do you think?”

“not bad. Two years is enough.”

“Aren’t you saying you’ll do it in six months?”

“If you are sure, you can do it today. How long do I have to stay like this?”

“Are you still young? It’s not like there’s anything wrong with your body.”

“Sister, you can play well when you are young. Is it hard to play when you’re old?”

“… is it?”

Hannette tilted her head and understood her words.

Promising later doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll get the results you want.

Rather, you may lose a lot, or you may end up regretting and suffering.

That’s why you should live your life to the fullest while enjoying the present moment.

“You’d better get married now, too.”

“Did you really listen to me?”

“I just heard that right.”

“You pretend to hear.”

“There is much work left to do. You have to buy a house and furniture. There must be hired men and enlisted men. Well… Maybe something else will happen.”

“Is it something else?”

“I don’t know. I was just guessing.”

“Ah, did you mean that?”

As people live, there are times when they experience unexpected or absurd things.

It is not something that can be avoided by preparing, and it is often seen that it is not completely resolved.

Perhaps Hannett was assuming what if based on his experience so far.

“I never imagined that I would stay in the mansion and learn magic. Did you know that I would follow you to a remote area? Together with you, kill the demons, build a reputation, revive, become stronger… … .”

Hannette looks back on the past and smiles, albeit faintly.

If I had been alone, none of this would have been possible.

Maybe that’s why, while relying on Zion, he somehow tried to overcome it.

“There is only you in my life. How much more different things will I go through if I’m with you?”

Harnette inadvertently stretches out her hand and runs through Shion’s head.

Silver hair wet with sweat creates a different texture.

Now, I couldn’t separate from Shion, and it seemed that even that feeling was getting thicker.

“I thought I liked you as a friend… I don’t think that was it.”

“… … ?”

An unusual atmosphere was hovering around the gymnasium.

Shion is entangled in numerous speculations and is caught in extreme tension.

If he was right, he must have been making a confession.

“I sincerely… So… i you… … .”

Hannette bit her lip and kept changing her words.

I’ve been thinking about it for a long time, but I couldn’t get the words out of my mouth.

Why are you hesitating so much?

“that is… Umm… … .”

“I say I love you?”

“… why do you say that?”

“uh… It looks a little difficult.”

“Can’t you read the atmosphere?”

“You must have said this because you read it, right?”

“Hey! Are you kidding me?”

Harnette raised her voice with her face flushed.

It was something that no one else had to say.

However, Shion had to take that opportunity on her own.

“Why do you say what I say?”

“That… … .”

“You can just listen quietly, why are you stepping out?”

“If you don’t talk, you will have to stay like this… … .”

“Can’t wait for that? Is it that hard?”

“It’s not that it’s difficult… … .”

“Do you know how I feel when I say this? Does this look easy? Why don’t you notice… … .”

“I love you too, can’t we try?”

“You have a problem with that… What did you just say?”

Harnette frowns in doubt.

Shion calmed his raging heart for a moment before opening his mouth again.

“I said I love you.”

“uh… Umm… do you love me?”

“I was going to say that too. It’s just that I’m later than my sister.”

“How can you hear that… really… Sigh… … .”

I was worried that Shion might take it strangely.

Although he intercepted what he had to say, he wondered if it would ease his mind at least.

If I hadn’t said the same thing, I wouldn’t have let it go.

“Are you all right now?”

“Nothing is okay.”

“It’s fine if we check each other out, what else are you complaining about?”

“you… You stole it on your own.”

“Then pretend you didn’t hear it and start over… … .”

“How do you do that all over again? Are you insane?”

“Whoa… … .”

Shion is puzzled and scratches his head.

He was annoyed just because he had replaced that one word.

But since there was nothing else to calm him down, he reluctantly remained silent.

‘still… I do have feelings for you.’

Fear preceded her, so she couldn’t convey her sincere feelings to Hanette.

Maybe it was because he was the only one unilaterally admiring him.

At least, because Hanette spoke first, she gained confidence, albeit belatedly.

‘Can I just get married now?’

The residence of the Duke of Adelaira, the drawing room.

From noblemtl.com

Juter and Barchen visited the Duke of Adelaira to meet Shion.

Of course, even when Shion was injured, he went to visit him in the hospital, but this time he came back because he had fully recovered.

Shion greeted the two of them with Hanette, and continued the conversation while asking each other how they were doing.

“I’m glad to hear there’s nothing wrong.”

“Yes, thank you for caring.”

“Miss Hanette must have been worried a lot in the meantime.”

“I’ve recovered well, so I don’t think I need to worry anymore.”

Hanette heard from Enrithe that she had been cured, but was not satisfied with that alone.

In the end, I checked Shion’s body and magical power one by one, and I was able to belatedly relieved.

“I have to think about the aftereffects, so I can’t use my body recklessly.”

“Yes, I am acting cautiously because White gave me advice.”

“Well… Will the wedding be postponed again?”

“ah… Yes. It looks like it will.”

“I’m a little sorry. You two should have gotten married first.”

Shion couldn’t help but question from those words.

Why did you say “first with the wedding”?

Maybe others are trying to get married sooner before he and Hannette get married.

“The position has changed. We got married first.”
