The next day, Shinji had invited Iris to his house.
Luckily, he had sent a thought to Lila the day before and confirmed that tomorrow was their day off, so they decided to set up a meeting.
Shinji and Renka sat in chairs side by side, with Iris sitting across the desk from them.
Iris could sense that the atmosphere was somewhat tense. And then there is this lineup.
Iris was able to guess what they were going to talk about.
”Iris-chan, it’s about the second wife that you’ve been waiting for–“
”Senpai”
Then, listening to Shinji’s words, Iris interrupted him when she was sure of what he was going to say. Iris’s words were so strong that Shinji had to stop talking.
”......I think it’s probably a good answer, but I want you to listen to me first, desu”
Shinji nodded silently at Iris’s words, deciding to listen first rather than disagree with the seriousness Iris was giving off.
”......I’m very happy to get a good response, desu. But I’m not going to get married until...... later, and I can’t accept that right now, desu”
Iris stared at Shinji as she continued.
”I can’t...... stand proudly next to Senpai right now, desu. Because...... I’m just getting help from Papa and the party and everything”
Iris can’t allow herself to become a second wife while she is still dependent on Shinji.
It was true that she was in love with Shinji, and she would be happy to marry him. But now is not the time, Iris thinks.
When Iris said “in the future”, she meant in the future, years from now.
”......I will train harder and become stronger. ......I will become an Upper-upper rank adventurer and enter . ......I will become a much more attractive, full-fledged witch, desu.
......And I will become the kind of girl that Senpai will want from the bottom of his heart and will want to marry, desu”
”............”
Shinji was overwhelmed by Iris’s declaration.
He was not angry that he had been denied his plans and ideas, but just naturally felt shaken for the younger girl in front of him.
Shinji had rushed into the decision before he got too busy, and unlike when he had proposed to Renka, he had put circumstances before feelings.
Shinji thinks that Iris must have noticed that she is more of an apprentice than a woman.
Shinji was about to bow his head to Iris for stopping her from making the worst proposal ever, but Iris was still talking.
”......I still have more to say, desu. ......And I think Senpai should know more about women’s dreams and delicacy and all that, desu”
”......”
”......No, it’s not someone else’s problem, desu. If......Senpai understands the dreams and aspirations of women, it will in turn benefit me in the future”
Iris smiles at Renka, who also smiles at her.
Renka who was puzzled by her words, smiled when she understood the meaning of Iris’ words.
”Fufu, that’s right, Iris is no stranger to this”
”......Yes, Senpai can be quite troublesome, desu”
”Isn’t he? But, that’s part of what makes him so cute”
Renka hugged Shinji’s arm, but Iris looked at them with a scowl.
”......Renka-san, you’re spoiling him too soon, desu”
”Nn, just.......”
”Be careful not to spoil him too much...... “
“I’m really sorry”, Shinji apologized again, not wanting Renka to abandon him.
After that, they spent the rest of the time peacefully chatting and laughing.
After Iris returned to her home, Shinji talked with Renka about his behavior yesterday.
_____________
This is a time when Shinji is completely screwed up.
Marriage is not something that can be done by one person, and Shinji should have consulted her properly instead of thinking about it alone.
However, it was a bad time to propose, and he was self-centered and wanted to get it over with before he got too busy, so he gets zero points.
In the past, he has only used hypnotic and aphrodisiac magic to sleep with the body but not the heart. ......He is not familiar with the mind of a woman, including marriage and newlyweds.
Because it’s necessary to learn not only how to express love with the body like a succubus, but also how to express love with the heart like a human being.
Iris-chan makes a statement.
If Iris and Renka were on opposite sides, they would have had a huge fight. She’s a girl who says what she wants to say.
Even with her current position, as a woman, she felt she couldn’t accept the offer at this time, considering Renka’s situation.
The second wife’s seat remains vacant as the story progresses.
The family hierarchy
Renka > Shinji, confirmed!
