Chapter 5-Family and lawful wife

(TL:By Rafael)

It's been a while since I saw everyone so excited. 

Silk, who had been frightened earlier, joined her friends and looked at the horizon with a twinkle in her eyes.

......it's  a surreal experience for me, too, though.

We have to thank my king for such a sight.

As a former adventurer, King Vincent knows us adventurers very well.

This view itself, which others can't even imagine, can be a reward for us adventurers.

"It's amazing."(Yuki)

The mountains, the hazy horizon, the blue of what looked like the ocean in the distance.

Everything was new to me.

"It's a great view, isn't it, brother?(Nibelung)

"Yeah. Be careful not to fall off, okay?　Nibelung."(Yuki)

"Lun is not a child, muuu."(Nibelung)

Nibelung puffed out her cheeks.

Well, I'm not worried. She still has a little of her power as a "golden priestess".

"But I didn't expect you to follow us."(Yuki)

"Lun was going to stay behind, too, but I didn't want the ruins to be affected by the ...... "gold." "(Nibelung)

'Yes, I know and I don't blame you. But you should stay as close to us and Benwood as you can, okay?"(Yuki)

"Yes!"(Nibelung)

Nibeln nodded with a cute smile appropriate for her age.

I am more than a little happy to have a little sister.

"Yuki."(Rain)

I was explaining the scenery to Nibelung when Rain gave me a small tug on my hem.

'What's up?'(Yuki)

"I've been thinking. What should we call Yuki?"(Rain)

"Hmm?"(Yuki)

I wondered what she meant by that.

As I nodded my head, a slightly red-faced Rain turned over, fidgeting and playing with her fingers.

"Well, this time, we're institutional ...... wives of Yuki."(Rain)

"Uh, ......"(Yuki)

"Is that right?"(Nibelung

For some reason, Nibelung looks pleased, and I chuckle and give a small nod.

This is a special measure to ensure smooth communication with the other party, but as long as they wear the white clover crest Ferdio, they must act as such to the outside world.

At least, while they are in Salmutaria.

Otherwise, there will be trouble like the one that happened in Duna before.

"Maybe it's not a good idea to continue as before?"(Rain)

"No. ...... it should be fine, right?"(Yuki)

"It's weird to call the patriarch of the family by his first name, isn't it?"(Rain)

I guess that's true, but I didn't expect that.

"Like what?"(Yuki)

"Uh, 'husband'?"(Rain)

"......!?"(Yuki)

The aggressiveness of the words released by Rain frightened me.

This feels embarrassing or somewhat indescribable.

"I'm fine with the usual."(Yuki)

"Uh?"(Rain)

'Yeah. I'm sure they understand that we're foreigners, and that's for everyone's safety. It doesn't change the relationship with me."(Yuki)

"Hmm, that's too bad Fufufu."(Rain)

Laughing mischievously, Rain grips my fingertips.

"I'm your wife, aren't I?"(Rain)

"No, that's not fair! Lun, too!"(Yuki)

(TL:Petition to blast Yuki in the comments.)

Lun, who was listening to the conversation, raised a small eyebrow and grabbed my hem.

"Lun is still a child, ......!"(Rain)

"I'm not a child!"(Nibelung)

Rain ...... what's the point of competing with the Nibelung?

However, I see. I'll have to decide that before I get over there..

The "mistress" or 'lawful' wife  is a position which may also serve as her husband's godmother, an important position that supports her husband and his business both publicly and privately.

(TL:Mistress = something like main wofe

In our case, I think the one closest to ...... is Silk. She is a sub-leader.

Also, Silk will be present at the negotiation, and I'll approach her later.

And ......

"Nibelung. Here."(Yuki)

Nibelung, who is playing with Rain, I put a small hair clip in her hair.

The design is of white clover, the same as those of other party member.

"I was going to give it to you when I got home. but I'll have to give it to you if you want to go with us."(Yuki)

"Yay, Now Lun is part of the family!"(Nibelung)

I patted Nibelung's excited head.

"We are a family even without this, But you mustn't take it off while you're over there, okay?"(Yuki)

"Yes."

"Yuki is sweet to Lun. I should also be sweet to him."(Rain)

"Fufufu..."(Rain)

"Aah! It's not fair!"(Marina)

Marina, who had spotted Rain smiling in a good mood, rushes over to her.

She then proceeded to force me into a hug.

Since she was not wearing armor, I was not damaged, but it was a little too rash.

"Hey, it's not safe!"(Yuki)

"Yuki will be fine!"(Marina)

I appreciate your trust, but if you fall overboard, there's nothing I can do to help you.

"Oh, Marina. You can't do this."(Silk)

"Marina should be have a rope attached to her."(Nene)

Silk and Nene rush over and pull Marina away from me.

"Oh, Lun, you're with us now, aren't you?"(Silk)

" I'm not going to let you accompany her on our adventures, but Nibelung is a member of Clover, too."(Yuki)

Nodding to the smiling silk, I open my mouth, remembering what I was thinking about earlier.

We're all here, and it's a good time to share the message.

"Oh, Silk. When we get to Salmutaria, I'm going to make you my 'lawful' wife."(Yuki)

Looking at the frozen surroundings, I realized that I had made a mistake in my choice of words, but it was too late.

TL Note-.............reactions are in the next chapter.
