Hime-sama and Myne-kuns talk had started.

I think Hime-samas most important aim is probably the confirmation of whether Myne-kun is suitable as her own partner.

And incidentally, I wonder if she doesnt plan to confirm his Skills.

To Hime-sama, no, to royalty, the partners Skills holds an extremely important meaning, after all.

Myne-kun and Hime-samas marriage, thinking about that, my chest hurts.

This pain perhaps I hold good will towards Myne as the opposite sex.

I dont quite understand my own feelings but, when I hear the marrying of Hime-sama and Myne-kun, my heart becomes astir.

Certainly, hes a little brother like existence which weighs upon my mind.

Hes polite, when the necessity arises hes a young man who has the courage to become a womans shield.

Thus, a presence which I have some kind of expectations for is also mixed together.

When I became his exclusive receptionist the premonition I had, I think I wasnt mistaken.

But its like that isnt it, something like solo hunting a Calamity-class monster, its definitely an impossible exploit after all.

I think that such a thing is probably impossible even for the famous King-sama as a hero.

He who holds such a strong power crying in front of me and hes even bawling.

Hime-samas words had probably gouged his heart deeply.

Hes a young man whos just came of age.

Furthermore, he lost his parents early, and he desperately lived buy himself until today.

Finally becoming an adult, when he headed to the temple to be bestowed with his Skills his heart was without a doubt, overflowing with rays of hope he entrusted his life to.

Thus, since I didnt hear about it I didnt know, he was bestowed with wonderful Skills.

Surely to him he imagined a lot that it was the best joy in his life. (TLC:)

However, Hime-samas previous words directly smashed his future overflowing with hope.

Of course, Hime-sama had absolutely no intention to do that.

Probably Myne-kun also understood the hardships of a life hiding his Skills.

However, he didnt think deeply about that.

No, he probably tried not to think.

Thats why, to Hime-samas direct wordshe shed tears, I think.

Although Hime-sama isnt a bad person, this part of her where she cant quite understand the subtleties of the heart, is a bad part of her, I think.

I wonder what it is that can hasten the solution to Myne-kuns problem.

Probably, I think what he needs is a companion he can trust and consult about anything.

Now, his crying is because of an explosion of emotions, a feeling of not knowing where to go.

If, if he has a companion who he can discuss the uneasiness he has inside him up until now, I think this wouldnt have happened.

To him he needs a companion who can support his heart who he can trust from the bottom of his heart.

Even now looking at the crying him, I decided in my heart.

After this I only need to convey the strong thoughts within me to him!!

Myne-kun! Lets form a party!!!

Aisha-san suddenly called out to the crying me.

And a completely unexpected proposal at that.

It was too unexpected, I reflexively stopped crying.

Eh?

Aah, Oujo-samas also wide-eyed in shock.

Probably, I was also making the same face.

Myne-kun, I hereby swear. That I will absolutely not betray you, and will never tell others about your Skill!

That is why from now on its okay for you to not worry about living in fright

I dont know what I should do with Aisha-sans sudden angrylook.

My mouth only gaped widely, and I only heard Aisha-sans words.

Seeing that kind of Aisha-sans look and my figure, Oujo-sama showed a wry smile.

But thats of course.

I also understand well that that feeling is continuing. (TLC:)

Hey, Aisha Is that a proposal?

While being astounded, Oujo-sama asked Aisha-san a question.

Aah, thats true! Now that she said it it can be taken as a proposal.

Aisha-san who was pointed out by Oujo-sama, probably suddenly coming to her senses, recalling her statement her face was dyed in bright red.

Eh, Eh? N, No, something like that, issurely though I am interested in Myne-kun

Aisha-sans behaviour obviously became weird.

About forming a party with Myne, what do you plan to do with the guild? You cant join a group while being a receptionist right

Oujo-sama calmly asked a question to Aisha-san who was about to blow her fuse.

Thats right, Aisha-sans a popular receptionist at the guild.

Though its not like she wont wont have time forming a party with me, theres no way it can be accepted.

As she did that, Aisha-sans expression became serious, and began to speak her thoughts.

I have always been thinking since guild leader said about the erasure of Myne-kuns guild registration. I wonder if this is okay

Since around the time when I returned my guild card, Aisha-san seems to somehow have been thinking about the guild leaders response.

And, she herself had felt a premonition that I will accomplish something.

Because of that, up until then she rejected every invitation, and became my exclusive receptionist.

And that premonition, when I battled the OrcKing in front of her eyes, seemed to have changed to conviction.

She who could guess Oujo-samas aim (Confirmation of partner), before even she had realised, she had a hazy feeling close to that of jealousy.

Because I was bawling, she seemed to have accidentally revealed her feelings.

If its the guild then Im planning to quit it you know

Aisha-san declared that clearly without any hesitation.

I wonder if thats okay for my sake but, as expected I can trust in Aisha-san.

I was able to hold such a belief.

If its with Aisha-san then being in a party will surely be alright.

Though it is not the solution for the fundamental problem, I think we can definitely get a better answer than thinking by myself.

If its about what Myne-kun will accomplish, then I would like to see them with my own eyes. And I think I want to support your heart so that it doesnt break.

In the first place Myne-kuns age and mine is quite distant and we only just met

After Oujo-sama, even Aisha-san.

My head is completely unable to keep up with the sudden gush of love talk.

Well, I am a guy after all, about being able to marry beauties like Aisha-san and Oujo-sama, theres no way I wont be happy.

However, its too sudden, and it cant settle the situation.

Fumu, I understand Aishas feelings. Well then, I will also make a proposal.

A proposal which might be able to solve Mynes problem

A proposal from Oujo-sama.

It seems like itll become something serious again.

Fumu, I understand Aishas feelings. Well then, I will also make a proposal.

A proposal which might be able to solve Mynes problem

A proposal from Oujo-sama.

It seems like itll become something serious again.

I want to ask something before the suggestion. What will you do about the marriage proposal from Aisha and I?

Since its effective in extensively leaving behind the blood of someone with useful Skills.

You wont be able to become a member of royalty if you marry me, you will be treated as a kin to the royal family and can found a house, well, an emergent noble, so to speak.

Naturally, theres no restrictions or things that can restrict your freedom from the royal family, so you dont have to worry about that

Eh? Mine was also treated as a marriage proposal!?

Thats true isnt it? Didnt you say you want to support him your whole life

I certainly did say that but my mental preparations are umm a lot of

This, isnt the way they were saying it as if I will marry?

Well, as long as the problem where I cant talk to people about my Skills disappear, I dont have any objections.

After all the both of them are very beautiful, by all rights, for men like me, they are flowers on a high peak who we cant reach even if we wished. (TLN: Takane no Hana/flowers on a high peak = out of league)

And yet, to be able to marry the both them who are flowers on a high peak, I would suspect whether it was some joke.

Though, thats probably unreasonable for Aisha-san who quitted the guild and Oujo-sama.

Honestly speaking, Im happy. Both of you are very beautiful you are too good for someone like me.

However, Ill say this no matter how many times, I cant talk about my Skills, so

As I informed in a depressed voice, Oujo-sama boldly grinned and folded her arms.

W, whats this, this composed manner?

If the matter about your Skills can be settled, then you wont hesitate about marriage. Thats what you mean right?

Somehow she said it full of confidence didnt she? I dont think my problem will be resolved that easily though.

I wonder what in the world is Oujo-samas proposal.

Firstly, I will return to the capital after this. And to father, I shall report my marriage with Myne are you alright up until here?

No, its completely not alright though.

No no, my Skills cant be leaked to Ou-sama!

I unintentionally inserted a retort to a royalty, Oujo-sama.

After all, I cant help it right? You wont say Im impudent right?

Just now, didnt I say it? That I definitely wouldnt say anything about your Skills. I cant possibly trouble you wholl become my partner.

If not theres no way hell accept you being my partner

Phew, she didnt say that I was impudent tte!? This isnt a situation to be relieved!!!?

Nononono, thats also bad right!? Even I know that! How abnormal it is to defeat a Calamity-class by myself!?

Hell definitely relate it to my Skills, wont he!?

Ill smoothly evade that topic. From now on is the suggestion. Its about the party Aisha was talking about.

For now let me join too. Well then make an application to the country as a Clan

Eh? What does that mean?

Hime-sama Isnt that impossible? No matter how you put it I dont think theyll accept a three-person clan

Normally, thats true However

While saying that, Oujo-sama looked at me and boldly smiled again.

Think about it, its three people consisting of I, a Princess Knight, Sacred Bow Aisha, though retired, a former B-rank adventurer, and in addition to that, Myne, who crushed an OrcKing solo, you know?

We fully satisfy the war potential acceptable as a Clan right?

No, please wait! I beg you so please dont talk about things I dont know. In the first place whats a Clan!?

Even though Oujo-sama accepted the retorts I had delivered twice, she taught me about Clans.

According to her, summarizing it, Clans are something like this.

Specialising in a specific purpose, its a private management organisation like the Guild (Battle, Commerce, Alchemy, etc.)

The Clan and its members can refuse requests, directions and orders deemed unnecessary as an organisation.

In contrast with the guild which exists extending over to other countries, Clans come under the country.

Roughly summarised, these seem to be the parts that have to do with my current matter.

To put it simply, if Aisha-san, Oujo-sama and I were to establish a Clan, there seems to be no need to answer questions by others (including the country) regarding my secret.

Aisha-san and Oujo-sama are now in the same situation huh.

Though they dont know my Skills, they know my strength.

However, the organisation, the Clan, will only be recognised within the Country of Augusta, so there will be no privileges, rights or responsibilities in other countries.

I see, certainly if its this in practice third parties wont know what Im doing and can only think That guys weird.

In the worst case, if they try to force information out of me, if I report it to the government, that human will be punished by the country.

If I were to implement this, then the only problem I would have is whether I can put my trust in Aisha-san and Oujo-sama.

Of course, these are just empty theories at the moment, there is a possibility that some kind of problem will occur while actually living together.

However, theres no doubt that there can be a large advancement in the situation where I couldnt think of anything until now.

I see, certainly if thats the case it might be solved huh?

Well, whether the country will recognise it or not, what kind of reaction Father will have, though there is a problem that must be solved Well, I wont propose something without a chance of success

If the establishment of the Clan were to be accepted, for the time being the problem should be solved putting aside marriage, I also agree to the Clans establishment

Aisha-san basically also seems to agree to this proposal.

Since I also dont have any better plans, I basically agree but marriage huh.

Umm do the both of you really think its good to marry me? Honestly I think that there are a lot more people better than me

As I enquired, Oujo-sama replied in a flash.

Yeah, I have no objections.

on the contrary I think itd be harder to come across a better man than you

Thats right, though honestly up until now I dont know whether this feeling I have for you is romantic or not,

hearing about marriage, somehow I dont feel repulsed

Though Aisha-sans still the same for now, she doesnt seem to be negative towards marriage.

Hmmmm, I wonder what I should do about I, the man, hesitating the most.

However, the both of them directly gave an answer regarding the marriage.

If I couldnt give an answer then Im definitely not a man.

Whether I will talk about my Skills or not, itll be fine to build up trust while living together.

The both of them also said that they wont ask about my Skills, lets depend on them for now.

I understand, lets get married. Please take care of me

Like this, my marriage was abruptly decided.
